A Swiss journal Celebrates the Nations
Variegated Immensely.
One of the most amusing descriptions
of America is that which recently ap-
peared in The Nachrichten, Basic,
Switzerland 1t runs as follows:
america is u country in comparison
to which Europe is small peninsula.
The United States is an empire by
whose side the powers of Europe appear
as petty states America is the land Of
unmeasured capacity and dimensions,
the land of dollars and electricity, the
land where the plains are wider, the
rivers greater, the waterfalls higher,
the bridges longer. the express trains
faster, the catastrophes more horrible,
than in all Europe; the country where
the buildings are taller, the rascals
more numerous, the poor poorer, the
millionaires richer, the thieves holder,
the murderers less bothered and educat-
ed people more rare than anywhere else.
1t is the land in which the teeth are
more false, the corsets tighter, disease
more dangerous, corruption more COM
mon, insanity more systematic, the sum-
mer hotter, the winter more chilly, fire
warmer and ice colder, time more costly,
than in sleepy old Europe. The land
where old men are younger and youths
older, the niggers blacker and the whites
yellower than elsewhere, the land of
Unreasonable natural resources and Of
the most prodigious avarice. In short,
America is the land of the greatest con-
trasts, the craziest presumption, the

DO Diamonds Breed?

One Of the queerest of the old time
superstitions was the one that is respon-
sible for the notion that pearls and dia-
monds "breed" like animals do. Rues
says: "As for what know concerning
the reputed story that precious stones are
divided into sexes, male and female,
just as are plants and animals. and that
they breed like the latter do, relate
the following, which came under my
own knowledge: A certain princess of
Luxembourg had two diamonds, the col
ors of which betokened that they We're
male and female. The princess laughed
at the notion until one day she was
startled by finding tiny speck of a dia'
mond i'll her casket. She put the two
large diamonds and the little one away
together, and they had whole family
in n reasonable course of time. F" A SIM
liar tale is also told by Boethius. st

for bringing the German name into dis
repute there Wehlan-this is the adj
ministratCr's name-Who is only one OF
many, had been sent out as vice cham
cellor of Cameron, had occasionally rep
resented the governor, and during the
Bakoko rising had acted as chief CT the

systematized cruelty of kind which a
few instances will illustrate. Augustus
Bell, "a Niger, was accused Of hay
ing stolen a watch. He denied the
charge, and Vice Chancellor Wehlan
condemned him to receive go strokes Of
q hippopotamus hide whip to compel
him to confess. When this sentence was
executed, the mans body was jelly.
DIR. Valentin said that "a raw hacked
beefsteak was nothing in comparison.
A cook who humanely gave few cigars
to a man charged with larceny received
90 lashes Of the same instrument of
torture.
The government interpreter, Eteeki,
stole some money ana spirits, and 10
punish him the German vice chancellor
and assessor, Wehlan, kicked him SO
long and SO cruelty that the engineer of
the German steamer Nachtigall had to
turn away unable any longer to lock
upon the sight. Then Wehlan ordered
10 lashcs to be administered to the
wounded man, and finally gave instruc-
lions to have u rope tied round his
waist SO that he could be plunged into
the water One Of three prisoners whom
he had in custody was helped by cook
to escape. Wehlan ordered the cook
to be seized and killed with the two
prisoners-beaten to death, mo weap-

It's Scenery Said to BE an Example OF
Tropical Perfection.
The scenery of Java is, think, trop-
ical perfection. No sameness in the
landscape wearies the eye. All is valley
and mountain, cultivated with beauti-
full erops-irrigate ricefields, emerald
green stretches of tall, waving maize,
small thickets of bamboos, gracefully
bending to the breeze--or covered with
q tropical verdure only equaled III beau
ty by the forests Of South America. Be-
ing only midday when we arrived at
Tassikmalaya, we ordered tiffin and two
carts to be ready an hour later to take
us on 20 mile stage to Bandjar. So ut
3 O'Clock we were once more en- route i'll
the usual conveyances of small awning
covered carts-each drawn by three
ponies-one for ourselves and the other
for the baggage. For the first few hours
we passed frequently through small viii
lagos, where the ponies were watered,
and our drivers chatted with the fruit
sellers, and smoked small tapering Gig
arettes, which they bought for quarter
penny the packet.
The last part Of the journey was
through tall jungle, and ms the sun had
set some two hours before our arrival
at our destination, it was no easy mat
ter for the drivers to keep the read in
the inky darkness Finally long, steep
hill took us down from the comparative
GOODNESS of high altitude into the
fetid swamps where lies the town of
Bandjar. At first sight you would think
these swamps inhabited, i'll such nyriads
do the flreflies fit to and fro, or hang
motionless, lamplike, i'll the misty air,
giving one the idea Of the lights of
some distant village. All the natives
here, as elsewhere in the island, hold
the white man in great awe, and as
you pass along all doff their huge brim
med hats, and some kneel by the way
side. In such towns in the interior as
Bandjar there are no hotels, but the
Dutch government provides free stop
ping houses for travelers-dirty, tumble
down places for the most part-where "A

I'm glad that springtime's coming
When the days are warm,
When the winter time is over
With its snow and storm,
Cause papa has promised
That he will make for me
The eutest little garden
That ever you did see.
And when papa has made it
I'll give it lots of care
And raise the mostest flowers
And give them everywhere.
I'll send you all violet,
A paHsy and q rose,
And buttercup and daisy
And every kind that grows.
And we must plant some other things,
The kind that's good to eat,
So we can help the poor folks
Who live on our back street.
And when my gardens finished
You all must come and see

Papa has made for me.

ENeLAND's FOOD SUPPLY.
And How 1t Might BE Endangered In Ger
tain War Contingencies.

And How 1t Might lie Endangered In Ger
tain War Contingencies.
Strong as the English war fleet is, it
is very far from being strong enough to
successfully engage possible combina-
ton of fieets and at the same time pro-
tect our sea borne food supply. If the
United States and Russia declared war
with England, there would practically
be no food supply left to protect. They
would keep the immense supplies we
now get from them at home, and the
fear Of capture or destruction would eff
fectually prevent Argentina and other
neutrals from sending food to us in any
sufficient quantity.
What is wanted is that, instead of
only precarious weeks supply, we
should have stored up in this country
enough corn to last for at least ~
months. Experts in the corn trade agree
that there would be no insuperable diff
Guilty in gradually accommodating this
store of corn. Itwould be for experts to
advise as to the best methods and places
of storage.
Perhaps the best plan would be to dis.
tribute it over the country in magazines
at the military depots, giving the mill
tary authorities charge of it, but if it
was in the country and safe it would
not SO much matter where it was AL
though most of our corn is made into
-four at the great ports, it would not be
wise, seeing that most of them are SO
defenseless, to store it there.
The entire control and management
of this great national store of corn
should be under some permanent gov
eminent department. Although its exist
ence could not fail to have a steadying
effect on the corn market, it should be
outside all speculative influences, the
price at which it would be sold, wheI
necessary to sell it, being fixed by law
1t would be no sacrifice in the lonl
run, for the country to provide such ,
reserve of food, as it would always b,
worth its cost
Other nations accumulate gold fol
use in wartime. We should have wa
chest of corn. If we have it, what will
it do?
1t will give our navy time to devote
itself to the crushing of the navy or ma
vies opposed to us. twill give us time,
with our great resources, to augment
our fighting fleet to almost any extent
and it will give our farmers time Il
grow three or four times as much corr
and breed much larger quantity o
cattle and sheep than they now do. -
