THE TUNE is OUR OWN.
A Few Remarks Concerning our Pat

riotic Songs.
Many Americans in visiting England
have been surprised and fiattered when
British military band has played the
air OF America" and the English
crowd has risen TO Its feet and dotted
its hats. Similarly, English visitors
to this country have got up and bowed
as to a compliment when an American
band has blared the same tune. II has

/ forgetting that the colonies, with their
allegiance to British king had n
claim to the melody and on their re
volt could fairly set their own new

The charge of theft and of musical
poverty In America has inspired a
patriotic association In little Rhode
Island to offer a gold medal to any
body who shall compose a new and

Great Britain Is musical, and afflrms

ture which even Germany cannot rival.
Therefore 1t Is impatient under the
charge OF stealing the most yenerated

1t Is vain, however. to hope for n
popular acceptance OF new tune for

sung on too many glorious and slgnlh-

lannon's Marnnand Rng.

Thirty-eight thousand dollars was
the price paid for a Persian rug at the
auction sale in New York of the art
collections OF the late Henry G. Mar
quand. The rug was woven in the
fifteenth century as a gift from the
Pasha of Persia to the Sultan OF Tur-
key. for the record held by Mr.. Mar
quand showed that It had been found
among the effects Of the Sultan Abdul
Aziz after his death.
Aside from the marvellous color and
texture. which is over five hundred
knots to the square inch, the feature
of the rug is that the inscriptions
throughout its border. as well as
arabeseques in the medalllons OF the
design. are woven in silver thread.

BEETLE DIGS GRAVES.

and Insects.


The gravedgger beetle was the sub
ject OF an interesting experiment that
n young Philadelphia, student OF
the biological department OF the Uni
versIty OF Pennsylvania, recently con
Quoted, says the Philadelphia Record.
He secured four healthy grayedlgger
beetles and put them In wooden box
filed with earth, along with very
small dead sparrow. The beetles no
sooner perceived the bird than they
began to dig alongside OF IT. For four
hours they dug, and at the end Of that
time they had hole made that was
six or seven inches deep and three
inches square.
Now they went around to the other
side Of the sparrow and gave, all to.
gether, n good strong push. The bird
dropped into the grave nicely and the
beetles covered IL over with loose soil.
The young experimental kept the
beetles for month. During the month
they buried five birds. three grasshop-
pers, two butterflies and young
mouse Their box came to resemble

gers? What is their motivep

Steam navigation has SO changed
naval conditions that no nation can
be powerful on the seas without coal
ing stations IN all parts Of the world
The situation In a large way is like
that of a man driving In the country
when his horse gets thirsty. If he can
not find a watering trough the animal
may give out before he reaches the
end Of the journey. A warship is more
nearly useless without coal than a
horse without water When President
Palma. OF Cuba. signed the agreement
cedlng to the United States the har-
Dor Of Bahia Honda on the northwest
coast and the harbor of Guantanamo
on the southeast coast. he consented
that this country should set up water
ing troughs for its naval war horses
on the shores OF these Cuban harbors.
These coaling stations, or naval bases,
are needed to make II possible for this
country effectually to guard the ap-
proaches TO the Panama canal, as well
as TO fulfill the American promise TO
defend Cuba from foreign interference.
Great Britain, France, the Netherlands
and Denmark own West Indian Islands
that are or can be used as coaiing sta

1t Is not Unprecedented for a nation to

Britain has several; Hongkong was
originally ceded TO 1t for naval pur-
poses. Germany and Russia. which
have recently begun TO develop their
naval strength. are seeking convenient
harbors, on the shores OF which they
may store coal for their warshlps.
They are suspected Of desiring such
stations TO aid them In carrying out an
aggressive policy. The policy OF the
United States Is purely defensive.
