connecting Port Arthur with Mukden and
Hardin will soon be cut.
The departure of Viceroy Alexieff and
Grand Duke Boris from Port Arthur was
buried owing to the possibility of the in

VENETIAN GLASS.
hnrco Polo Gave the First Great Im-
petus to Its Manufacture

II was Marco Polo who gave the first
great impetus to the glass industry ut
Venice The great traveller encouraged
his countrymen TO manufacture and to
eNuort large quantities of glass to the
orient to satisfy the growing demand
there. 1t Is difficult to determine when
the first glass factories were establish
ed In Venice, says the Chicago News.
Some historians have attempted to
prove that II was as early as the fifth
century. The most ancient existing
document relating TO this industry is
an article In n treaty concluded In 1887
between Bohemond, prince of Antioch,
and Jacobo Contarinl. doge of Venice.
This time stained parchment refers to
the purchase Of broken glass-a most
necessary ingredient for the production
Of good glass-by the Venetian mer-
chants In Syria. In 1880 the great
council of the republic prohibited the
establishment Of glass furnaces In the
city proper. as they were frequent
causes Of serious fires, and finally rele.
gated the glassblowers to the island of
Murano Q202). where the industry has
hourlshed down TO the present day.
Murano's glass manufacturers pos
sessed many political and other privl-
leges. Their daughters could even mar
ry into the families of the proud vene-
tinn patrlcians. In the seventeenth cen
tury the glassblowers of Venice were
recognized as the best In Europe. This
fact caused the Duke of Buckingham
to employ Venetian workmen In the
glass manufactory which he opened In
1910 for the purpose Of making imitn-
tions Of the fine Venetian drinking
glasses
Evelyn. the diarlst. writing in 1841,
says; II passed over to Murano, fa-
nous for the best glasses of the world.

A Strict Old Lady,

A certain noble family in Scotland
adopted the EpiscOpalian faith and car

On the first introduction Of the full
choir service into the local church the
great lady, who had been active in the
work. was anxious that favorite
woman servant of hers-a Presbyterian
of the old school-should have an op-

A PIRATE AMONG PLANTS.

the Peaceful Palm.
Among all the forms of vegetable
life In the Mexican tropics the wild fig
trees are the most remarkable. Some
of them show such apparent intelli-
gence In their readiness to meet emer-
gencies that II is difficult not to credit
them with powers Of volltion.
In the tropics, where the wild figs
flourish, there is constant struggle
for life among numberless species Of
plants. Certain of the wild figs appear
TO have learned this and provide a fruit
which is favorlte food for many
birds. Then an occasional seed Ii
dropped by bird where 1t finds lodg-
ment In the axil of palm frond high
In the air.
There the seed takes root and Is
nourished by the little accumulation
OF dust and vegetable matter. 1t sends
forth an aerial root, which creeps
down the palm, sometimes coiling
about the trunk ON its way. When
this slender. cordlike rootlet reaches
the ground 1t secures foothold and be-
comes the future trunk of the fig tree.
After the descending rootlet has Sc
cured itself In the ground branch
bearing few leaves springs from the
seed In the palm top, and vigorous
growth begins. Then the ig gradually
enlarges and incloses the supporting
palm trunk until the latter II complete
