T OF VESUVlUS.
Pompeii md H-erculaneum Not tho
Only Cities 1t Has Buried.

The road out of Naples toward Vesu-
vius is the same route that one follows
to reach Pompeii. When intending to
20 ND the mountain the tourist leaves
the Pompeii road at Resina, the mod
ern city which overlies Herculancum.
Apropos of these two ancient towns, II
is remarkable how many people speak
of them as the only buried cities in the
vicinity. In fact. there are many, and
1t may not be embarrassing to mention
them. Next to the two familiar ones,
the one whose name Is most frequently
heard is Stabie. Then there are Gu
mT, the oldest Greek colony In Italy;
Bai1, n watering place, resort of the
Roman swells in the first year of our
Lord; P~arthenope, Palpopolis and Ne
apolis, three buried cities lying under
modern Naples, from the last of which
it took its name; Dikearchia Cater call
ed Puteoli, now PozzuolD, another
Greek city of large wealth and with
much commerce; Capua, n Of the
great military posts of ancient Rome,
now covered by a modern city, also a
garrison, and Suessola, whose medicl-
nal springs held high repute among the
equity epicures of the Roman time.
Cataclysmic have been the earth's
throes around that laboring monster
Vesuvius, for some of these buried cit
les, which were great seaports 1000
years ago, are 10Y far inland. On the
other hand, offshore at BaiG you may
look down from n boat when in smooth
water and discover ancient houses and
streets far below you at the bottom of
the sea. Some Of these buried cities
were much larger and more important
places than either Pompeii or Hercula-
neum, yet to many travellers their
names seem acknowledgements.

EDUCATING
Training Schools In Which the hi
valves Are Taught Some Sense.

Training chool In Which the hi
valves Are Taught Some Sense.
"a school for oysters" said a dealer
in fish, lis an institution that you
would swear could not exist, for oys-
tiers are notorious for their stupidity.
1t Is, however, n fact that there are
many oyster schools. | will explain
them to you in such n way that you
will believe in them. An oysters intel
ligence is limited, but still it has intel
ligence. Years ago certain wise fish
dealers discovered that If you take an
oyster suddenly from Its subaqueous
bed it opens its shell, w%hereupon the
life giving water inside 1t all escapes
and the oyster dies. But If you ex-
pose an oyster to the air gradually,
lifting it out of the water for n few
minutes and then returning 1t again, ii
gradually learns that to keep its shell
closed when out of the water is the
best thing for its health. These inves-
tigators found that they could take two
oysters, one trained and one unframed.
and the trained oyster, keeping its shell
closed while out of the water, would
live a long time, while the unframed
one, opening its shell, would die in n
few hours. Therefore training schools
for oysters were established. The
schools are in appearance nothing more
than reservoirs full of water. Oysters
are put in them, and the water is drain
ed off and then returned again. 1t Is
kept off for a few minutes at first, then
for ten minutes, then for half an hour
and so on. Oysters in these schools
learn that they will live longest and
keep healthiest out of water If they
hold their shells tight shut. AS o o as
they learn this they are graduated and
go out into the world."-Philadelphia

"There is much that is wonderful
to be told about ~seaweeds," said a
naturalist. "Some of them are giants
in size. One species, common in the
North sea, frequently grows to the
length of thirty or forty feet, develop
ing in the shape of a long cord about
the size Of n quill, attached at one end
to the bottom and the rest supported by
the water. This is nothing, however,
to the prodigious ~macrocystis, which
attalns 100 feet in length. Another
variety found in the tropics reaches a
length of twenty-five or thirty feet,
with a trunk as thick as a mans
thigh"

TO SOUND

The keynotes of the campaign in this
state will be sounded at this gather
ing and the banner of stalwart Repub-
licanism will be unfurled triumphantly
for a vigorous and determined canvass
for the state ticket.
The Republican clubmen will from
that time press their work of recruit
ing for the coming national campaign,
and they will properly regard the con-
test this fall as the skirmish of the
great battle for the presidency next
year.
The Republican leaders in Pennsyl-
vania rely upon the popularity OF
Roosevelt among the great mass of the
people, especially the voters in the
great industrial and mining regions,
to aid the Republican cause in the COM
ing campaign.
Frequently the Democrats have been
strong in these sections, but the fact
that the present national administra-
ton has from the outset demonstrated
its earnest and sincere interest in the
cause of the wage earners has greatly
strengthened the Republican party.
The Democrats can no longer claim
that they have the labor vote" with
them in any Of the counties OF the state
in which they once held forth.
1t is in these counties that greatest
gains are expected at the coming cleo
ton, and there is reason to believe
that the returns will bear out the pre-
dictions of the party leaders.
While the Democrats of Ohio a few
days ago, through their state conven-
ton, saw fit to reafirm the Bryanite
platforms, both Of Chicago and Kansas
City, the Republicans Of Pennsylvania
proudly proclaim that they stand 10y
ally by the principles of the party
Of Roosevelt, and they are ready to
have the returns Of the coming cleo
hon speak for themselves.

The Ingenious Magpie,

The magpie is nothing If not ingen-
ious. He always barbados his bulky
nest with thorn branches, so that to
plumber it is by no means an easy mat
ter, but when circumstances oblige the
''pie" to build in a low bush or hedge
an absence Of lofty trees being n mark
ed feature of some northern localities
he not only interlaces his home, but
also the entire bush, in a most formula
bic manner. Nor does he stop here. To
make assurance double sure he fash
ions a means of exit as well as entrance
to the castle, so that If disturbed he
can slip out by his back door, as 1t
were.

o AN F YEAR.

While some contend that this is what
is known as an "off year." and that
the election returns can have no sig
~nifcance outside Of the state, the in
fluential leaders hold that II Pennsyl-
vania shall not make a good showing
for the Republican candidates this fall
the political opponents of the national
administration will be given an oppor-
tunity to argue that the voters are not
favorable to a continuance of Repub-
lican direction Of the government, or
that the people are not in sympathy
with the attitude Of the Republican or
g~aniZation Of this state in its ~unquali-
fed Endorsement Of Roosevelt to sue
coed himself.
While the Democrats are studiously
avoiding a discussion of national is
sues, the Republicans will not hesitate
to touch upon such matters whenever
the occasion shall be presented during
the coming
The aggressive young Republicans
who constitute the Republican State
League. of Pennsylvania have arranged
to meet in Wilkesbarre on the 22d, 23d

already announced that they intend to

on record in favor of the nomination
Of Roosevelt.

Especial Correspondence
Harrisburg, Sept. las Pennsylva-
MIA was foremost for Mckinley, when
the movement for his nomination for
the presidency was inaugurated, so the
Keystone state is first in the election
of delegates to insure the nomination
Of Roosevelt to succeed himself in the
White House.
Luzerne county, of this state, has the
credit Of electing the first delegates
chosen to the next Republican national
convention, and they are both pledged
to Roosevelt. Berks came next and
did likewise.
This is in accord with the action Of
the last two state conventions OF the
Republican party, and the declared pur-
pose Of the party leaders to have a
solid delegation in the next national
convention, not only to vote for the
nomination of Roosevelt, but to coop
crate with the friends Of his admins
tration In all matters deemed desira-
blbe to insure success in the coming
national campaign.
Pennsylvania being d~istinctively a
Roosevelt state. it is important that
the victory of the Republican party in
the canvass this fall shall be pronounc-
ed and decisive. The party managers
feel that the returns from Pennsylva-
mia should demonstrate that the peo-
pie of the country are back of the pres
ident, are in accord with his admins
tration and demand his election for an
other term. They, therefore. propose
to roll up a rousing majority for the
entire Republican ticket in November
next.

Democracy of Modern Artists.
the Architectural Record.

From the Architectural Record
Many modern artists. particularly In
France. have been strongly influenced by
the democratic spirit, and they have at
tempted to deal with democratic subjects
and even to treat them In democratic ways;
but the democracy Of their art remains an
inspiration rather than reality. Like the
poetry OF Walt Whitman, it often appeals
to more restricted class of admirers than
does some battle piece Of the Napoleonic
empire. It's democracy, that is. has a con-
scious and forced character and makes no
appeal to the deepest instincts of large num-
bers Of people. So 1t is with the professed
democracy of the new artists" However
much they may desire to give their art a
democratic character land we doubt wheth-
er the majority Of them ever give the mat
ter thought) they cannot make it ve-
hicle for democratic feeling as long as they
themselves remain divided from the preva-
lent likes and dislikes of the great mass OF
tho people.

The Serpent That Talked Like a man

The Serpent That Talked Like a man
In John Ashton's Curious Creatures
of Zoology" there is a quotation from
"a little Latino booke printed at Wen
ma In the yeare 1851" which tells a
most wonderful story. Ashton quotes
as follows: There was found In a
move or rycke of corn almost as many
snakes. adders and other serpentes as
there was sheafes, so as no one sheaf
could be removed but there presently
appeared a heape of ougly and fierce
serpentes. The countrie men deter
myned to set fire upon the barne and
so attempted to do, but in vaine, for
the straw would take no fire, although
they laboured with all their Wits and
policye to burn them up.
AT last there appeared unto them at
the top of the heap a huge great ser
pente. which lifted up his head and
spake with mans voyce to the coun-
trie men, saying. Cease to prosecute
your devise, for you shall not be able to
accomplish our burning. for wee were
not bredde by nature, neither came we
here of our owne accord, but were sent
by God to take vengence on the shines
of men,"
Ashton leaves US In the dark as to
what the "countrie" men did, but 1t is
natural to suppose that they surren-
dered at once.

the knees and feet closely pressed to-

tude. The Greeks and Romans, when
they were at liberty to forget their
dignity, sat STOPPING, with one or both
elbows supported by the arms Of the
chair. - .,--s.' -'"''--

ceived sitting stiffiy on their thrones,
