THE FALLEN cAMPANILE.
St. Marks in Ruins Is a Disaster to the
Civilized WOrId-Uneven Pave
mcnt Caused Settling.
From Philadelphia Press.

From Philadelphia Press.
The fall Of the campanile Of St. Marks
is disaster to the civilized world. 1t is
left the poorer by a monument whose
foundation was 1000 years old and whose
last suPerstructure has been loved and
admired for three centuries.
Yet to those familiar with the condi-
ton OF the group Of buildings on the
square of St Marks the wonder must be
that they have not earlier fallen. Since
the examination over twenty years ago
Of the foundation Of St. Marks and the
ducal palace it has been known that
these great buildings rest OF a site of
mere mud. Piles were driven ten cen
turles ago, but medieval builders, who
understood well enough the POise and
counterpart Of arch and vault, were but
little acquainted with the resistance Of
foundations or the result Of piling great
masses OF pier and wall on a dubious
base.
The uneven pavement Of St. Marks
was due to the uneven settling Of the
piles on which it rested. The builders
Of the fourteenth century palace Dor
rowed for it the foundations Of the
lighter and simpler palace Of the eighth
century. They assumed that a base
which had stood 500 or 600 years would
bear a new edi6ce Of far more weight.
The builders Of the campanile in the
sixteenth century probably did the same
with the foundations Of the lower tower
Of the tenth century. The palace walls,
as the restoration in 1898 showed,
sank and slid until it was in fair pros
pect Of going into the neighboring canal.
The walls we're all strained and the cap
itals Of the first story, on which were
laid the weight Of the second story, we're
all split and most have had 70 be re-
placed
The like has doubtless come to the
campanile. It's foundation has settled
uneoually and the loud Outcry against
restoration has probably prevented nee
essary repairs. Nor Is the building Of
the psriod without its use Of poor ma
terisI inside, out of sight None the less

Printing in Persia.

Printing from type in Persia is not
regarded with popularity. This country
is at the present day entirely dependent
upon photography for the native prOduc-
ton of books and iournals-which are
very rare. A short time ago a press
with movable type was set up,
upon which a certain number Of
books was printed. The effort, how
ever, net with no encouragement,
and had to be abandoned. The unpop-
ularity Of type printing in Persia is due
to two principle causes: First, the
strightness of the lines offends a Per
slams artistic sense, and, secondly, IN
printed books the character Of the let
ters is entirely lost. The Persian reader
prefers a well written manuscript, and,
failing this, he contents himself with a
lithOgraph, which is usually the fac
simile of the writing Of some fairly good
scribe

An Historic Forest To Be FeIIed.

A forest Of giant trees-pine, spruce
and hemlOck-that was regarded as val
liable timber at the time the British fleet
came up the Penobscot and levied trib-
ute on Bangor in 1914, has just been
purchased by two Bangor men,-Who will
this winter conduct numbering opera
items upon It. This forest is located
upon the mountainous bank Of the Pen
ObscOt, near the rivers mouth, in the
town Of Prospect, and is q part Of $40
acres Of land bought In 1902 by John
Pierce and Daniel French from the Gen
eral Waldo estate. The tract extends
for half a mile along the river, from
Prospect Ferry to Grants brook, and
back from the waters edge to the crown
of CrOcker's mountain, which eminence
il visible for many miles down the bay.
Just after the Mexican war the United
States government bought Pierce's part
Of the land, and upon it built the de-
lenses Of the PenObscOt river known as
Fort Knox. The French forest has for
a generation been the wonder Of visitors
and the pride Of the Prospect people.
When the last tree has been cut. which
will be several years from now, the
mountain farm viii be worth more than
ever, for the present forest Is only q

what to Read and How to Read . Ques-
ton Few People Rave Iearned
TO solve.


There was time when there were few
books in the world. and they, such as
they were, costly snd impOssible to OBJ
tain except by the very few rich and ed
ucated who cared for them. Then the
people we're ignorant and bigoted, opin-
donated with little to support their opin-
ions save their own assertions Nov,
the difficulty is not 70 obtain books, nor
yet Is it in the lack Of education to read
and understand them, but It is the null
tiplicity from which to choose. And
yet, abundant and cheap though they
are, it is Ofttimes difficult to possess
many. There are so many places to put
one poor inadequate little dollar that the
things one would like exceedingly to
/ have must give way to the things one
must have. 1t is only by careful econ
Omy that Injuries are possible Every
one must economic. Economy is the
doing without one thing In order to OBJ
tain another; and upon our Own wish it
depends whether We % without the
things that perish with the using, or the
things that leave an eternal impress.
There is no Joy like the JOY Of buying
a new bOok-one that you have thought
of and loDged for and saved for, for
months To see the first one or two
lonely volumes growing gradually into a
library Of respectable dimensions; to
have books to lend, treasure to share
does not this well repay a little self
denialY
In general it does not pay to buy the
new, so-called popular" books. A
books worth is not fully proved until at
least a generation has pronounced 1t
good. The majority of the popular"
books are written for the present
moment, to while away an idle hour for
some purpOseless individuals, who must
kill time to escape being killed by it.
But there are grand old books almost
linnumerable which have stood the test
of5years, and which well repay. hard sac
rifce to obtain them. Though even
they are full Of faults, one Is richer for
every one that be reads. One must
learn to look for the true and the right
in whatever he reads, discarding the
false and unhOly; for all writer's are but
men and women like ourselves, frail and
full Of mistakes. But in the truly great
there is always to be found something Of
inspiration, something Of helpfulness or
Of warning, If only we have the will to
look for it. To read, not with blind and
stupid credulity, but with lively thought
and intelligent doubt, is the only safe
path to reliable knowledge and just
opinions. Weigh and consider what you
read, reason out each new thought that
lis presented and If It stands the test Of
your best judgment, accept it and make
it a part Of the working apparatus of
your mind; if you prove it false or IN
worthy put it from you, rejoicing in your
daily growing ability to discriminate.

THE TALE OF THE cow.
The Cream Separator Turns Over to the
Farmer That Better Half and In
sures Prosperity.

The Kansas dsiryman is right in for
business these days. He is doing a warm
stint for "the dollar Of our days"
1t was the kick Of a COW that set of
the Chicago fire and when you come to
think Of it old bOssy is making the prai-
ries Of Kansas pretty hot.
What lot of milk the Kansas cream
cries would be getting if the pump was
really the farmers best cows some Of
the funny papers try to make Us think.
Reading maketh a full man, says the
old adage, but the dairy man who gets
full on cheap magazines and lets his
county paper and his dairy weekly got
viii find that there are good and bad
kinds OF fullness.
There are various kinds OF separatOrs
the divorce court, which separates
man and wife; the sandbagger who sep
arates a man from his cash; the belchiDg
kind which works up a wheatstack, and
others too numerous to mention. But
the separator which is being talked Of
must just now in Kansas is the one
milk in a few jifHes, leaves the milk
warm for the calves and pigs and lets
the farmer jog of to the station early in
the morning with his cream IN fine con-
ditiOn for sale.
The dairy commission agitation in
Kansas IS jogging right along. Most
brainy Kansas men are coming to realize
that since Kansas is an agricultural
state the time has come to commence
raising farmers Oh a scientific plan.
Dairying is only one branch, to be sure,
and has been rather neglected, but IN
the hands Of a good comm issiOner under
the direction of the secretary Of agricul-
ture, she will soon be in the lead Of dairy
states. Address all inquiries as to this
matter to T. A. BOyman, secretary of the

The Dead Shots From the Philippines.
A wiry-loOking, brOnzed youth in a
khaki uniform walked into a Philadel-
phia shooting gallery the other day and,
picking up a rife, began to make things
hum. There were four stationary bulls
eye targets, representing men and ami
mails, at the rear Of the gallery, and on
these the marksman raped out a series
Of clangs that resembIed realistic rendi-
ton of the anvil chorus. Then he took
a fresh rifle and beat a tattoo on a par
of swinging targets. A row Of several
scores Of clay pipes next received his at
tentiOn, and the proprietor Of the place
spent bad five minutes figuring out the
time and money it would require 70 re-
quire to replace the dhudeens that were
snapped of. Several glass targets in
motion were pie for the youth behind
the gun. The only thing breakable re-
naming was a glass ball supported by
dancing Batar jet. This the marksman
failed to smash, though he spent half an
hour and considerable ready money in
an endeavOr before leaving. "Darn these
fellows from the Philippines" exclaimed
the shooting gallery man. That's the
second one to clean me out 20 day. II It
hadn't been for that glass ball on the
water I'd have come out to the bad both
times. "-PhiladelDhia Record.
