REfrrEFTL ARLrNqToN.

Congress will be strongly invoked this winter to provide a magnificent amphi- theater and memorial structure in the National cemetery at Arlington. Pre- yi0us efforts to this end have failed. Now at the coming session prominent members of the Grand Army of the Re public will renew the campaign aggFes- sively, and Secretary Taft is expected Ito recommend in his report that con- gress set aside S5,OOO to defray the cost of plans for the building and of other initial steps. Secretary Taft is con- vinced, as Secretary Root was before him, that the movement is worthy one. Secretary Root recommended an appropriation, and Secretary Taft last year did likewise.
 Arlington has come to be regarded as the foremost of the eighty-th three na- tional cemeteries in the United States. It is the Mecca for thousands of visit ors to the national capital, and ranks with Mount Vernon as a center of in- terest. Memorial Day services there have come to be considered as the na- tional services for the nations fallen soldiers. The amphitheater now used will seat but fifteen hundred. Plans for a new structure, prepared more than a year ago, comprehend a seating capac- ity of five thousand in a building of marble to cost s25OOOO. A feature is a double row of columns about the ex- terior, with spaces suitable for the plac- ing of statues.
 The Grand Army is solidly in favor of the project, and the last national en- component warmly endorsed it. Surely this great nation will not turn down SC worthy a movement. Grand indeed is the nations munificence in pensions-a munifcence surpassing by far that oi any other nation in the annals of his tory-but it can still afford to do this memorial work, despite the immense calls upon it's treasury.

GOOD FOB LITTLE RHODY.

Little Rhody generally gives a good account of herself, and she is now heard from again. The Providence Journal finds that Little Rhody is the most densely populated State in the Union. It says:
 "The hunter who plods through weary miles of tangled catbrier in western Rhode Island, or the fisherman who casts his fly in the quiet pools of that green wilderness, might be pardoned for not believing that ours is the most densely populated State of the Union. Yet such is the fact. Several censuses have revealed it and the State enumer- ation just completed gives it new force. For there are fifty thousand more peo- pie in Rhode Island to-day than there were five years ago. and in the interval since 1900 we have not expanded our borders. Our landed area remains at 1,O85 square miles, and on each square mile of this Athenian tract we have assembled no fewer than 442 human beings. In 1890 the figures of density were SIS; in 1895, 355; in 1900, 395 By the time the next federal census is talk en there will be on the average more than five hundred men, women and children to the square mile in the re- stricted area between the Blackstone and Napatree."
 Little Rhody is all right, and her den- sity of population is all the more mo- ticeable as compared with conditions of the kind in ether parts of the world.

TULIP FARMING IN IRELAND.

Acres and Acres" Composed the Field of Great Strong Giants"
 It is not exclusively a tulip farm any more than it is a daffodil, or a narcissus, or an anemone, or an iris farm, since it's many acres Of gardens and friends are given up to the culture of these and every other kind of bulb; but when l saw 1t in day of May the tulips, with their great deep cups of georgeous coloring, seemed to have plotted out every other lesser blos- som.
 The little fields lie scattered at the feet of whitewashed, golden roofed cot tages dotted here and there about the outskirts of the quiet sea-girt village, almost in the shadow of the church steeple, and as one drives along the white sandy road one sees the tulips in dazzling strips of gold and pink purple and white and crimson stretch ing away on all sides.
 Out beyond the little turf built banks, which make so effectual 8 bar rier between the blossoms and the rough breezes, lie the sand dunes and the sea, shimmering and sparkling in the brilliant May sunshine, it's blue waters ref1ecting back the cloudless assure of the skies and throwing into greater relief the rugged outlines of the island on it's bosom, while here and there a tiny white winged yacht sails fast before the strong sea wind to some enchanted fairy land.
 The bulb farm is struggling and ir- regular, consisting as it does, of the little fields and potato gardens of the

PATHETIC.

The old saying: For women must weep,''is exemplified in the pathetic case of Mrs. Sarah Lot, who from strong personal attachment to her old home in Pittsburg refused to sell it to a great iron and steel company, which had built all around her home enclos- ing 1t with mill structures and effec- trally shutting it in and away from all the old environments dear to her heart Failing still to get her to sell the old home which her husband, when dying years ago, adjured her to never part with, the company with LOCO men pull ed the old home to pieces while she, in great alarm, had gone to invoke the aid of the law to prevent the ruthless actt.
 The world to-day is full of cases where the heart strings are torn by far worse cases than this one which was occasioned by the needs of a great bus iness-for instance, the terrible mourn ing and sufferings which have come up- on thousands and thousands of homes in Russia by war, riots, strikes, pillage, incendiarism, starvation, tortures, mur- ders and massacres. Truly there is still room for more Peace on earth and good will toward men" and the spread of all the teachings of the Man of Nag areth.

SEA LEVEL.

Let us have a sea level canal across the Isthmus. The engineers say so; now what more is to be done than to so ahead and do the great work. The judgment of the majority of the board of consulting engineers of the Panama canal commission, including as it does the greatest of the foreign engineers and such Americans as General Davis, William Barclay Parsons, and William H. Burr, is in favor of the sea-level canal
 A lock canal might turn out a tech not possibly do So. A sea level canal will perhaps cost from $S0,0O00O0 to $50, OOO 900 more in money than a lock canal and take five years more to build. Yet it may not in reality cost a cent more than the lock canal, since the choice of the sea level would do away for the necessity of paying millions for flowage due to the necessary dams under the lock system, and would cut out a great deal of future expenses of mainte, nance. We have waited for and want ed this canal ever since Christopher Columbus discovered us. Now five years more wont "cut much ice." Let us make a good job of it and done with it, and make a beginning now.
 Sound economy seems to point to the acceptance of the conclusions of the majority of this board.

A remarkable find was made by workmen blasting stone at Blackburn. Scotland. 4 stone weighing a ton and a half was split open and living worm was found imbedded in it, being located ten inches from the outside at the near est point. The reptile measured, ac- cording to an unmistakable impression left in the stone, seven inches long. Immediately on exposure it wriggled about in lively fashion, and contracted itself until it measured only about four inches. The worm is of the ordinary type, and when seen was still alive, despite the fact that it had suffered some injury during the splitting opera tion. The stone was obtained from a stratum of acres of solid rock at a depth of one hundred feet below the sur face, where the presence of boulders in- dicates that it belongs to the glacial period.

All the mountains in Switzerland have suddenly been reduced in height by about ten feet. In 1920 the tip of a certain rock in the Lake of Geneva was calculated to be 376.S6 metres above ocean level, and on this basis all the summits in the country were calculated. Recently the discovery was made that an error had been made in fixing the height of that rock, and that it is 3.26 metres lower than it was marked.

The most remarkable agricultural movement of our times is said to be that "the world is eating up it's sheep. In Germany the f1ocks have decreased over 50 petecent. since 1873, and this is only an extreme instance of what is go- ing on elsewhere. The increasing price of beef is given as one reason of the eating up of the sheep; the dread of tuberculosis is the other."
