A GRANT MEMORIAL
HOW THE GREAT CAPTAIN IS TO
BE COMMUNICATED.

shrady Design, Which Has Been
Chosen For the Monument at
Neutrality-suspicious. of Bronze
and Marble to Cost $25O,OOO.
Now that the commission created by
act of congress to select site and Sc
cure plans for a memorial to General
Grant to be erected at the national
capital at cost of $25O,0O0 has agreed
on design the work of building a
monument to the great captain of the
civil war will soon begin.
The design selected is the work of
Sculptor Henry Merwin Shrady of New
York, and while the site of the memo
rial has not yet been definitely decided
on it is understood that the commission
is unanimously N favor of the botani-
cal gardens, as this best accords with
the general scheme of park develop
ment recommended by the senate park
commission for the national capital.
The design for the proposed memo
rial takes the form of long. low ter
race or platform tianked by exedras.
and upon the terrace are placed the
pedestalS of the central figures and the
two subsidiary figures and groups.
The terrace forms slightly elevated
position facing the presidents parade.
from which reviews of troops may be
held as occasion dictates.
The gradually sloping steps facing
the parade afford an excellent opportu-

to comply with Grants nearly habitual
and characteristic custom.
The two fianking pedestals, which

SauenkinC sands.

Singing sands are found in many
parts of the United States, but squeak
ing sands are not so common. The sing
ing sand emits a musical sound only
when dry and loses this property on
being dampened. The squeaking sand,
on the other hand, is silent when dry
and squeaks best and loudest when
moistened. The sound it gives forth is
by no means loud. but somewhat re-
sembles the squeaking of an armchair.
1t sounds when rubbed between the
fingers or when placed in a small bag
and violently struck, but the cause of
the sound is a mystery.

Finland is larger than England, Ire
land. Scotland and the Netherlands
combined. 1t has its own constitution,
which was framed in 1772. This in
strument was modified and changed
when, in 1909. the grand duchy was
coded to the emperor of Russia, but it
still provides for national parliament,
in which the four estates-the mobiles.

middle ages the giving of a glove was
a ceremony of investiture in bestow-

in the reign of Edward H., the depriva-

degradation. The importation of for

sentatives has addressed a note to the
great powers declaring that the porte
is systema tically devastating Mace

popula alton. Further, it says Turkey

WAITING FOR MUNITIONS.

Sofia. Bulgaria. Sept. 14.-Warned by
previous disastrous experiences the re
volutionary leaders have decided to
adept only guerilla tactics in eastern
Macedonia. The policy OF occupying
towns and villages has proved a mis-
take, as it has usually resulted in Tur-
key reoccupying the villages, destroy
ing everything and killing the inhabit-
ants. the insurgents being hampered in
their operations by the women and chill
dren. a guerilla warfare is expected to
exhaust the Turks much sooner. while
the uhhampered bands can move more
easily and more rapidly. 1t is hoped
that the new tactics will result in the
women and children being spared un-
necessary dangers.
The insurgents now have nearly 1000
men armed with rifles in eastern Mace
donia, ard thousands of peasants are
ready to join their forces when a gen.
eral rising has been proclaimed This
step is being delayed until the supply
of rifles and cartridges and dynamite
is received New bands aggregating
1000 men are reported to be on their
way to the frontier The Turkish forces
now in eastern Macedonia are estimat-
ed at 1900.

We're wounded. The revolutionaries
had only one slightly wounded. The
peasants are welcoming the insurgents
everywhere with the greatest enthusi-
asm. The bands are experiencing great
difficulty in obtaining arms. 1t is be-
leved that not a single rifle can be
found in Sofia outside the garrison.
The Bulgarian government is report
ed to have protested against Austria s
action in. intercepting the ten million
cartridges ordered in Hungary for
which Bulgarian money has been paid
to the contrac actors.
