Our first view of Fort Pandupatan
occurred shortly after the taking of a
large stockade in the Bayan district.
The little fort, which was to cause US
SO much loss looked much like any
other Moro fort
In general way the fort was q
square inclosure. The walls are Of
stone, earth and bamboo and about
twelve feet thick at the base. They
are some fourteen feet high.
These walls are covered with BAN
boo polls on the outside and also with
an immense ENHANCEMENT OF thorny
brush both on the sides and the top.
This brush made the fort look easy
to, take, as the stone walls did not
show.
The walls of stone and loose earth
neatly and tightly piled and packed
have many portfolios and the fighting
Moro seemed TO have a cannon or
rifle at every portfolio and their shout
ing proved to be effective.
The Moro engineers had also con-
structed two trenches about the fort
of considerable depth. One trench
was crowded with desperate Moros
who had taken the oath of their tribe
to die facing the enemy. l can GER

A novel spectacle was witnessed at
the Vatican on a recent morning
when the Indian Prince, the Maharaja
of Kolhapur, and the Calcutta repre-
sentative at the Coronation, Maharaja
Kumar Tagore had private audience
with the pope. The prince wore his
native dress,a turban studded with dia-
monds, from the back of which hung
long strings of fine pearls. He was
accompanied by his secretary and an
Indian suite, who, however, with the
exception of the turban. were clad in
European fashion. The rector of San

For Girls 10 o..

There are many ways of preserving
the rich crimson and gold leaves of
autumn, and of pressing seaweeds. so
that they will retain their coloring.
Many boys and girls are familiar with
the different processes, but few OF
them know. perhaps, that the form
and color of a rose leaf may be trans
ferred TO paper in a way to make it
look as natural as the leaf itself.
Here is the way to do it: Law a rose
leaf carefully on a sheet of white pa
per, put the paper in an open book.
and over the leaf lay a piece of white
linen cloth saturated with spirits of
nitre. Protect this by another sheet
of white paper, and, having closed the
book, put it away for a few days
where it will not be opened. After
the few days have passed open the
book and you will find that a perfect
impression of the leaf, colored and all
has been transferred to the paper.

to help himself to anything he fancied
