To the Academy of Sciences

In order to facilitate traffic
along the shores of the Dead
Sea it has been decided to es.
tablish regular intercourse by
means of small steamers, and
and the first steamer has been

be a shock to many to hear of
a steamer on this historic body
of water.
In olden times, when tea was
a rare and precious luxury,
silver strainers were used into
which the exhausted leaves
were put after they had been
we'll watered and drained.
They were afterward eaten su-

fact is recorded by Sir Walter
Scott in "St. Romans Well"
Because of the multiplica-

due to the existence of seven

st. Paul, and 1.12 in Boston.
There are a number of deep

From a lecture delivered in
the Sorbonne by M. Mangin,
it would appear that Paris pos,

trees in the streets and public
places in the city. 1t is calcu-
lated there are twenty-six
thousand plane trees, seventeen
thousand chestnuts and fifteen
thousand elms, the remainder
consisting of sycamores, map
les, lindens, etc. Apparently
there is only one oak and one
mulberry.
A novelty just placed on the
English market is a water-tig
watch which is particularly de-
signed for soldiers going to
South Africa. The back, in.
stead of being supplied with a
spring, is screwed on, and the
stem winding apparatus is pro-
tected by a screw top. The
operation of the timepiece is
said to be unaffected by heat
or cold, and one Of these time
pieces has for months been
running and keeping perfect
time while constantly sub

The company refused
to pay on the ground that the
cause of the mans death was
not an accident, but the court
has decided that this was an
accidental injury within the
meaning of the policy. In New
York state it has been decided
that the taking of poison by
mistake is not an accident in
the meaning of a similar insur-
ance insurance policy, but in
Illinois the courts have ruled
exactly the opposite.

The town of bingham con
tains the church known as the
"Oh Ship" built in 1851,
which is still used by the first
parish. 1t is said to be the
Oldest church in continuous use
in New England. Back of this
building is the graveyard on a
terraced hill with tall monu-
ments to "the early settlers of
bingham" and to the 76 SOL
diers who died in the war for
the Union; the tomb of Gen
eral Lincoln, a native of Hing
ham; and a noble statue over
the grave of War-governor
| Andrew.
Longfellow's house in Brat
tie street, Cambridge, is the
most famous private house in
America Mount Vernon being
public. 1t is comfortable
mansion and was built in 1859,
being deserted by Col. Vassall,
its Tory master, in 1775, and
occupied by Washington as
headquarters during the eight
months of the siege of Boston.
Longfellow came here a boarder
in 1887. He came possessed of
the house later and died there
in 1852. Washington's Office
and Longfellow's study were
in the room of the first floor,
to the right of the door, the
officers room and library being
back of it, and the drawing
room on the other side of the
| front door.
The First Parish Church
Roxbury, situated in Eliot
square, is an excellent and we'll
preserved specimen of Puritan
architecture, dating from 1904.
The society originated in 1882,
and for many years had for its
pastor the gentle John Eliot,
who gave most of his time to
preaching to the Indians and
translating the Bible into their
language. After nearly two
centuries of Orthodoxy, the
parish became Unitarian, and
DR.. George Putnam led it from
1880 to 1915. In 1775-76 the
steeple on this site served as a
signal station for the American
army. and the church became
the target for cannon shots
from the British lines.
Bunker Hill monument was
built during the years 1926
1642. Lafayette attended the
laying of the corner stone and
President Tyler the official
dedication, while Webster fur.
nished the Grafton for both oc-
casions. In the lodge at the
base is Dexter's marble statue
of General Warren, and in 1881
a bronze statue of Colonel Pres
colt was raised, showing the
brave soldier in a seersucker
coat and broad farmers hat
with drawn sword, as when
warning his eager men, "Don't
fire until you see the whites of
their eyes"
At Constitution wharf, the
live oak frigate Constitution,
A, "Old Ironsides," the pride
of the American Navy, was
built in 1894-'97. She was in
tended to fight the Algerine
corsairs, and attacked Ttipoli
in 1903 4, but her most glor-
ious service occurred in the
war with Great Britain. This
ship was saved from being bro.
ken up when DR.. Holmes beg
ged the Navy Department to
Nail to tie mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale.
At this wharf also was built
the Boston, %, which captured
several French armed ships;
and the Argus, 16, which burnt
so many British ships off the
English coast that she was said
to have "set the Channel all
ablaze,"

very cunning, and it is difficult

Then the traps are properly set
