Webbers poor monument to Garrick, wherein the actor pushes aside the cur tains. while above him hangs me- dallion bearing Shakespeare's head, looking to the left This head seems to correspond, in some degree, with the plate engraved by William Faithorne the elder.
 To Scheemakers' contemporary. Rou- biliac, the great innovator who infused life and realism into marble effigies which in England had hitherto been, for the most part, cold. lifeless and classical ly formal, we owe one of the most pie turesque of our Shakespeare statues. This work was executed by him as a commission from David Garrick in 175S. and was, by the actor, bequeathed to the British museum. where it now stands on the right-hand side of the hall.
 The only other public statues in Lon don are those in the Poets Fountain in Park Lane, comprising Shakespeare. Chaucer, and Milton, executed by the Thornycrofts. the father and his dis tinguished son; and the figure of Shake speare in the podium of the Albert Me morial. we believe, by Mir. Armstead. R. A.
 But the most ambitious of these works the most important in size. and the only attempt to do justice to the poet in an open space. is the memorial group set up outside the theater in Stratford-on- Avon. This is the work of the accom- plished amateur. Lord Ronald Cover. who. for the execution of it. retired to Paris. and in due course produced this large group of statuary. Shakespeare. traditionally conceived, surmounts the circular pedestal and on smaller shafts about him are four of his greatest crea- tions-Hamlet. Lady Macbeth. Prince Henry. and Falstaf. The work com pleted. Lord Ronald presented it to the nation.
 In addition to these are certain busts which must not be omitted. There is that translated into marble from the Chan dos portrait: of this many replicas exist There is the large marble bust by Au- gusto Posssslio. of Florence. which Sig nor Salvini presented to the Garrick club in 1876: it is interesting as an e1- ample of Italian realization. It is hope less as such. however. for it represents . dreamy poet. languorous and morbid. with love-sunken cheeks. bashful eyes. and rosebud mouth. who might perhaps have written Romeo and Juliet. and even Hamlet. but vho knew TO other theme than love and hate Far more important is the famous ~Dzvenant Bust. also be-

Spider-web Factory

Ten years ago French missionary started the systematic rearing of two kinds of spiders for their web. and a spider web factory is now in sue cessful operation at Chalais-Meudon near Paris, where ropes are made of spider web intended for balloons for the French military aeronautic section The spiders are arranged in groups of F above a reel. upon which the threads are wound. It is by no means easy work for the spiders. for they are not released until they have furnished from 90 to ii yards of thread each. The web is washed and thus freed of the outer reddish and sticky cover. Eight of the washed threads are then taken together. and of this rather strong yarn cords are woven which are stronger and much lighter than cords of silk of the same thickness.

The government has received telegraphic report from Vice Admiral Rojestven. sky at Tokyo, in which the admiral states that at l 30 on May 27 he sn. gagged twelve large Japanese battle ships and armored cruisers and twelve smaller cruisers. At 2:8o it became necessary for him to shift his quarters and his stan on the battleship Knlaz suvaro6 to an- other part of the vessel, and at 3:30. when the admiral lost consciousness , owing to his wounds, it was found necessary to transfer him and his stan to the torpedo boat destroyer Buiny, where already part of the crew sf the battleship Oslabya, which sunk. had been taken.
 The supreme command, the admiral says, was then transferred to Rear Ad- miral Nebogatoff.
 The Buiny became separated from the rest of the fleet during the night" Admiral Rojestvensky says. 'In the morning we sighted the armored cruis- CT Dmitri Donskoi. with two torpedo boats. and transferred the Oslabya's crew to her. I was removed to the tor psdo boat destroyer Bedovi. which steamed ahead with the destroyer Grozny.
 "On the evening of May 20 1 learned that the Bedovi had surrendered te' two Japanese torpedo boats. The Be dovi arrived at Sasebo May 31.

was about to order couple of hun.
 dred currant bushes when, in arrang.
 ing for the annual spring ridding up of the row had, noticed that some
 branches had got buried and the twigs had taken root, and so waited a few days. The ground each side was ID cabbage in 1903 and In tomatoes last year, and in blowing and cultivating, soil had been thrown upon a branch here and there and resulted in making layers. I finally dug more than 150 plants, and the prospect of developing others so easily this summer led me 10 defer planting more than one TOW until next year, when could have pl2a9ts without paying out money or running the risk of nursery substitu- tion, or delays in shipment.
 Our illustration shows a moderate sized branch about the size of a mans little finger which had seven smaller branches. Six of them got partly cov- cred and became rooted as seen, only did not sketch in all the many roots, some much larger than shown. My bushes are mostly Victoria, which is of the Red Dutch type, and I believe 1t would be possible by burying all the branches of single ten-year-old bush to root 300 or more plants. The plants dug would grade as first and sec ond one-year plants. and if planted out one year would make such plants as are generally sold at one dollar per dozen. Currants of the Fay or Cherry type grow less spreading than the Red Dutch and fewer layers could be made in year, but those rooted would be very fine and could be made equal in one year to the average two-year plant as grown from cuttings. To grow entrants from cuttings it is best to take cuttings in September, says the Ohio Farmer, bury until spring, knd then plant out. Most of them will grow, but this way is much more complicated for a busy farmer than the simple bending down of branches and covering with earth By the same simple process gooseberries may be multiplied and almost all kinds of roses and towering bushes, and grapes, of course.
 might add that the land where I am to plant my entrants has been heavily manured for Wakefield cab bgae, and I shall plant the cabbage two feet instead of 21 inches (the usual distance) in rows SO that I can put .

 Russia has until now met all sugges. tions regarding peace with the plain. unequivocal statement, "The czar has determined to continue the war" This answer precluded further representa- tions. As 1t is reported that Russia has officially expressed a wish to know Ja- pans terms, there is for the first time since the war began some substantial hope of peace
 Whether upon receiving from Count Cassini an official expression that the czar wishes to know the mikado's peace terms the president will be able to obtain statement of this subject from Japan remains to be seen.

Existing Monuments to the
 Memory of Shakespeare
Interest in These Aroused by Proposed World Memorial Some of Excellent Artsty-Others of
 Execrable Quality.

NY T ISsa curious fact that until .SN, our own day not single VSN plastic or glyptic portrait of N%zN Shakespeare was executed
 by English hands. The first
 of these-first in time as well as in interest-is, of course, the bust erected in front of a window on the north side of the chancel of Holy Trin- lty church at Stratford -onAvon. It was executed by Gerard Johnson or Jan- sen, and was erected before 1625-that is to say, before the First Folio was published, when Shakespeare had not yet been dead seven years,
 The memorial statue in Westminster abbey is the earliest which bases itself frankly on the Chandos portrait-the traditionally handsome romantic like ness of Shakespeare which is popularly accepted on aesthetic rather than on his- torical grounds. It was designed by Lord Burlington's protege, William Kent, painter and sculptor, architect and landscape gardener. He was poor painter and third-rate sculptor, and we can quite believe that what is bad in this statue came from him. It's medi- ocrity, one writer has remarked, "suf- f1ciently stamps his powers as sculp- tor" Walpole goes further in writing it down "preposterous. The figure of the poet is easy enough in posture, all though the drapery from the shoulders is forced and unnatural.
 It is after this statue that the Leisec- ter square monument was designed, and put up in 1874 by the generosity of that quaint fnancier, Baron Albert Grant" The heads on the base are omitted and for the long quotation on the hanging sheet is substituted the brief legend, There is no darkness but ignorance.
 In the abbey, by the way. is another representation of Shakespeare, known to few and seen by fewer still. This is

Labor is moving, upward to Its
proper place, 1t lives in better houses
wears better clothes. works shorter
hours for more pay and produces more
than it ever did before Much Of this
may properly be credited to organl-
zation, more Of 1t to education and
special training. Competence more
than complete organization is the l1rst
necessity. Ability is the true stand
ard. The secret of good job and a
long one is capacity. Beyond all or
ganization or any claim lies the first
principle that the worker must deliver
the goods If he expects the pay.
That is the lesson that labor has
learned and is still learning Its
sturd,ness and independence rests on
the foundation Of competence. Orga-
