LONGEST STAIRCASE ON EARTH.
Wonderful Jacobs Ladder on Island

Among the staircases the world
over. none, It is safe to say. is so
long or difficult of ascent as Jacobs
Ladder" This remarkable flight con-
tains more than 700 steps. all rising
with the same lift in the same direc-
tion. The steps rise at an angle of
exactly 45 degrees. Jacobs Ladder"
ascends particularly steep hill at st.
Helena. The steps are, naturally. the
most direct route to the summit of
the hill, and. despite their great
length. are traversed daily by hun
dreds of wayfarers. There are said to

stairway at rapid pace without once
stopping for breath.

socialism is one OF the inevitable re

There Is reason, however, TO believe
that this is not the whole story. Local

socialists, especially in the rural West,
where European Industrial conditions
are not even suggested by experience or

THE MESSAGE OF YEARS.

Backward points the tragic finger
Ger the ruthless march of sIme,
Whether traced in glacial footprints
Or in fronded palm and pine;
Ever trailing Ike a serpent
Through the tombs Of dead. past years
Never staying, never lingering,
BY the sea Of futile tears.
Wealth. ignominy and honor
All alike are on the wing:
Autumn knows her full fruition
But to die and follow spring.
Morning dawns whilst noon advances,
Swiftly follows night and sleep,
When the king and slave together
In the dust of whirlWinds sweep,
All is dead and past and buried,
Future comes that it may fee
Into caves and tombs and dungeons
Or the soundIess depths Of sea.
After Egypt came Hellas,
After Helia5 came a Rome.
Who in turn cries for her legions
To the vast sky's boundIess dome.
Every Caesar has his Brutus:
Pomp and power its wreath of rue;
Whilst the mighty shout in triumph.
Time spins out a waterloo
