er than twenty-cight of these noble or
royal personages, representing the EN-
peror's ancestors. contemporaries or
others. That of King Arthur and two
others are attributed to the famous
Peter Vischer, of Nuremberg. and in
Arthur we see the most noble and ma
jestic figure Of the series. The faces
and forms of these august personages
are said to be exact representations,
and one could not fail to be impressed
with this idea from the strongly mark
ed and peculiar cast Of features, the
expression and the attitude. which give
a striking individuality to SC many
among them.
King Arthur is given place of spe-
cial distinction, standing at the head
of the fourteen statues to the left, as
the spectator faces the altar. This Won
derful group-including the Emperor
himself, In bronze, kneeling on a large
marble sarcophagus in the center-was
not completed till the year 1893, under
the Archduke Ferdinand. although 1t
was commenced in 1909. Round the
sarcophagus there are twenty-four re-
liefs in marble, In which the chief
events of the Emperor's life are record
ed. With reference to these, Thor
waldsen stated that they were the most
perfect works of their kind.

on board. The story is given as fol
lows:
Martin Troy, of Hartford, Conn. an
old railroad man, was down at East
Bristol bridge watching the men at
work When the afternoon train from
Bristol came along the bridge was no
ticeably weak. and the weight of the
train Jared II so seriously that all the
wooden piling under II was carried
away.
When Troy saw thai the piling had
been carried away, and that the bridge
had settled, he hurried up to flag the
train from Hartford. which would ar
rive at this point al about O'Clock
1t had grown quite dark by this time,
and Troy had no lantern; but AS the
train came along he took matches from
his pocket and lighted them for a dan
ger signal. He WAS Just In time; the
train stopped as the engine was about
TO go on the bridge.
When the workmen came to repair
the bridge, they tried To induce Troy
to so 10 work with them. but he re
fused, declaring that the bridge was
likely to fall at any minute. His warn.
ing came too late. Before the men
could leave the bridge the collapse

THE SAGAClOUS HERO.
He Insisted on Certain Conditions Be

that hll.'
Sir" exclaimed the Colonel, "do you
know that what you are saying is rank
insubordination?'
Call it INSTRUMENTATION or what you
WILL" the Captain returned, but re-
fuse to GO
The Colonel was furious. The COM
pany that he had detached for the pur-
pose of storming the hill and capturing
the fort on top of it was the only one
that could be spared, and unless his
plans as arranged were executed the
whole campaign would fail Not only
that, but his little army would In all
probability be cut Off from the main
body and wiped out OF existence.
1t was a critical moment. The Cap
tain could be court martialed and shot
for his refusal to obey orders, but what
of 1t? Every man was needed. To
court martial and shoot the obstinate
Captain would not be to take the hill
and the fort He was the only man who
could do it with the force at his COM
mand.
What was to be done? The Colonel
gnawed his mustache and thought
hard. At last he decided to appeal to
the Captain instead of ordering him.
Think, man. think of the glory that
you will win If you do this thing" he
urged.
Il know all about that" the Captain
replied.

RICHES OF THE NORTH.
Newly Found Ore Fields Ia Sweden
Prove Valuable.

There may be a future for Canada's
northland that we little dream of now.
The close of the century dlscloses for
the first time In the worlds history
practical purpose TO develop the re
sources of the arctic circle The dis.
covery OF gold in the Klondike has sent
II flood of immigrants into territory
which was supposed 10 be almost unin-
habltable.
And now scientists Of Great Britain
are making n careful investigation Of
enormous deposits of iron and ore some
distance from stockholm, Sweden,
within the area included In the arctic
circle. These new ore fields are ap~
parently limltless In extent and of the
greatest possible value to the iron In.
dustry of Great Britain, which Is rap
Idly finding itself unable to compete
with the cheap products Of American
ore. These Swedish deposits are said
to be among the most valuable ever dis
covered on either continent.
Following the discovery OF gold In
Alaska, this may be taken as an indi-
cation that the mineral wealth of the
arctic regions may ultimately lead to
the establishment of large population
in those parts of the world nearest the
north pole, which have hitherto been
little explored because of their inhos-
pitable climate.
An ingenious philosopher has outlin-
ed the theory that the precious metals
of the world will be found In greatest
abundance In the arctic regions, be
cause when the world was q molten
mass revolving on Its axis the tendency
of all metals was naturally toward the
axis, or the poles, and that when the
plastic mass solidifed the gold and sill
yer were concentrated near the poles.
Should this theory be confirmed, the
finest deposits of precious metals will
be found the further we get to the north
and south, and arctic explorers will
have something else to seek In future
besides glory. Nature evidently intend
ed to lock up It's treasures in an inac-
cesslble storehouse. But In these days
man aspires to be the master of nature
herself.-Montreai Herald.

STATUE OF KING ARTHUR.
Maguificent Effigy In Bronze Erected
to His Memory.

There are few.that have not heard of
King Arthur's Round Table. which,
history informs us, was preserved at
Winchester, and shown by Henry VII.
to Francis l. of France. There are few
also that have not read the immortal
poems of Tennyson showing Arthur to
have been one of the noblest of hero
kings and conquerors. But there are
comparatively fewer still who have
had the pleasure of seeing the magnitl-
cent etfigy in bronze erected 10 his
memory In the hofkirche, nj Inns
bruck.
The church was built In compliance
with the will of the Emperor Maxlmil-
Ian L., a. ID. 1908 go. His own imposing
and splendid monument stands In the
center of the nave. and on each side,
like a guard of honor, Il row of colossal
figures in bronze both male and fe-
male. Some are In armor OF various
types, and the women in quaint but
gorgeous attire, according TO the time
TN which they lived. There are no few

his duties will permit him to be on

aboard ship. She is not simply soci-
ETY. girl. For several years past she has
been quite a serious art student, and
some of the productions Of her pencil
and brush show unusual talent and
careful cultivation Of that talent She

of Artists, and will by no means give
up her art, although she has now made
her formal entrance into society.

Plains of Abraham In Danger.

The historic battlefield close to Que.
bee, the Plains of Abraham-where the
generals of the opposing forces In the
struggle for Canada, Wolf and Mont.
calm, were both killed-is said to be In
some danger of seizure at the hands OF
that ubiquitous vandal, the speculative
builder. The lease by which the gov
ernment holds the site Is nearing its
expiration, and it Is feared that the
actual owners, the nuns of the Hotel
Dieu, are already being tempted by the
handsome proposals of Buggins, the
builder. Such dissertation of an
epoch-making, historical scene seems
incredible. The government of the Do
minion will doubtless take immediate
steps to secure the Plains of Abraham,
not on lease this time, but In per-
petuity.

A CHARACTER SKETCH OF THIS
MIGHTY RULER.

Character that History viii Pre-
serve Immortal-He Is Steadfast, /,
Frank and Fearless.

An admirable character sketch Of
Car Nicholas ii. of Russia is drawn
by the English journalist. W. 4. Stead
In the American Monthly. Nicholas
H., says the writer, in stature does not
resemble his father. who WAS Il sou Of
Anak. 1t Is u mistake, however, 10
speak of him as il he were exception
ally slight. He Is about the same
height rs Gen. Gordon, whom he re-
sembles in other things besides the
number of his inches. When he rides
or sits the Emperor seems as tall rs
most men, When he stands he Is
little taller than Lord Nelson or Napo-
leon Bonaparte. Good stuff, says the
old adage, is often put up in little bun
dies, and the giant in popular legend is
usually as dull as he is huge In ply
slque the Emperor Is wiry and vigor-
Gus. One who sees him every day told
me that physically Nicholas is Il much
healthier man than his father.
The first and most conspicuous char
acteristic of Alexander Ill was the
solidlty of his mental temperament.
He was by no means dull. But he was
slow. He put his foot down like an
elephant, and when he put 1t down he
was not quick to take it up again. The
characteristic of his son and successor
Is quite different. Alertness, exactness.
lucidity, and detiniteness are four ex-

ed ii from his father. In that he showed
true insight and Il keen sympathy with
SUBJECTS who We're suffering from un-
doubted grievances. But the forces OF
reaction and the jealousy of a dominant
bureaucracy, aided perhaps by the
somewhat unreasonable eXpectations
OF some of the Poles. checked the full
realization of his designs. To some
this may seem an admission that he
was lacking in strength. 1t would be
more just to recognize that he felt he
WAS lacking In experience. He was
young to the responsibilities of govern
ment. 1t WAS better to bide his time
Safely and slow-they stumble who

power the immense forces which will
be banked together TO defeat his gen
erous and most sensible design? That
Is the crux of the whole question. Let
1t never be forgotten that Nicholas was
not only born in the purple, but that
he has, as his sires and grandsires, as
imperious a series of monarchs as ever

Charlemagne's Love of Learnin,

Charlemagne's Love of Learning.
More than to any other monarch we
owe to Charlemange (76S-S14 the fact
that the precious literary Inheritance
of Greece and Rome was not lost. Him
self imperfectly educated, he valued
education in others and furthered IL
with all his might. The impulse he
gave TO classical studies resulted In
some of the best manuscripts; In his
reign, too, the clear "minuscule" Of the
Irish scribes was substituted for the
uncouth Langobardic characters. He
also paid special attention to the care
ful editing of the prayer books. His
establishment of an academy In his
palace Is well known; what Is not so
we'll known is the fact that this fol-
lowed by schools under his patronage
at Wurzburg, Fulda, Utrecht, Tours.
and elsewhere. He also began to com.
pose grammar of his native speech.

SCHOOLS IN THE ORIENT,

There Is Abundant Chance to Get an
English Education There.
Throughout British territory, in the
Orient, churches and schools are scat
tered about, and always are at head
quarters, military or civil. All the sub
ects of her Majesty the Queen can en-
ter the Christian churches and Chris
tian Sunday schools II they wish. They
are not the destitute heather" of the
old time phrase-"destitute OF the
means of grace and the "Eurasians"
be classed as Europeans crowd
promptly into the Christian churches
Their main rush Is for two, either the
Protestant Episcopal or Methodist;
first in preferment the Episcopal. the
old established church of England, be-
cause there all officials go-the viceroy,
the local governors and their families
whoever represents the ruling power;
and the next the Methodist churches,
which. as here. have the popularizing,
drawing faculty, being jealous and en-
ergetic
There, as here, the Roman Catholic
churches get more people than any otll-
er church. Their pictures of saints and
angels and the Madonna and the
Savior, their dressed statues and their
professional celebrations the non-edu-
Gated can get hold of at once, as
story; and a story with points of resem-
blance Is their inherited faith. Chris
tianity's heroes and heroines march
well into line with sacred biography
which they before were familiar with.
Their old-time heroes and heroines
were very grotesque, but, for all that,
sacred; sacred somewhat. That whole
people IS grotesque. Their art is gro
tesQue. We are different. But we are
not symmetrical. In fact, we also are
grotesQue.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

cellent qualities in man, and the EN-
peror has them all. With all this
there IS an absolute absence of any
thing even distantly approaching prig-
gishness. Many years ago Mr.. Glad
stone described the present Emperor as
IA charming type of the best of our pub
lie school boys. He was frank fear
less, perfectly natural, and slmE licity
itself. Nicholas III. is no longer a boy.
He has borne for several trying years
the burden of one of the greatest EN-
pires in the world. But he Is still as
absolutely simple and unaffected as he
was when Mr.. Gladstone met him in
Copenhagen fifteen years ago. There
is still in him all the delightful school
of humor, and hearty, outspoken
frankness in expressing his opinions
which makes you feel that you are
dealing with man whose character Is
as transparent as crystal. Add to all
this n modesty as admirable as 1t Is
rare and Ii must be admitted that even
II the net human product should fall
short of being u great ruler, he has at
least all the qualities which make men
beloved by their fellows. The bright,
clear blue eye, the quick sympathetic

sion Of noble gravity and of high re-
solve, the rapidity and grace of his
movements, and even his curious little
expressive shrug of the shoulders. are
all gllmpses of II character not often
found unspoiled by power
Those who know him best appear to
love him most and naturally enough
each one thinks his only fault is that
he Is too ready To sacrifice his own con-
venience and his own wishes to oblige
others. A more dutlful son never sat
ON throne. He is singularly happy
IN his marriage and the Emperor of
Russia will never lack one of the most
Intelligent and loyal of chancellors
while his wife lives. As his parents
before him set Europe an example of
domestic unity and felicity. so Nicholas
H. maintains the honorable and happy
tradition. He is loyal in his friendships
and slow to part with any of those who
are in his own or were in his fathers
service.
Distinctions of His Reign.
SO far his reign has been distn-
gulshed by three things. First his
frank recognition of the fact that until
he found his feet and had acquired
some experience in the business of
governing it became him to serve his
apprenticeship modestly and silently.
The second salient feature in his
reign was marked by significant
blend of the two conflicting tendencies
the intuitive instinct which enabled
him to divine the right thing to be done
and the modest reluctance to impose
his will upon the more experienced ad-
ministrators who thwarted and Grip
