Regarded as One Of the Great Show
Places of the World.
There are four national cemeteries
within few miles of the White House.
Beyond the Potomac mile and half as
the crow flies, is Arlington, the largest
and most famous of them all. There on
the annual holiday which grateful ma
ton has devoted to this memorial duty
the orator employs his choicest speech
In tribute to the virtues Of the dead, the
well trained military band reviyifies the
stirring old war songs and flowers are
everywhere. Arlington Is one Of the
show places of the world.
In one respect Arlington is unlike any
other of our national cemeteries; at the
others few interments have been made
since the period Immediately following
the war, but beautiful Arlington every
year sees wearers of the blue brought
from all parts of the country to swell the
forces of the silent army. There are now
buried at this national resting place for
fallen warriors more than 10000. OF
these 4,611 are nameless on the human
record.
Two hundred acres were originally set
aside Tor cemetery purposes. 10 this
several additions have been made from
time to time. This section is lnclosed
by low wall and is entered through
four great memorial. gates-the McClel-
Ian, the Fort Myer, the Ord and Weitzel
and the Sheridan, the last named being
the main entrance. An open circular
1colonnade surmounted by dome Is
known as the Temple Of Fame. On the
cornice are the names of Washington,
Lincoln, Grant and Farragut. At the
rear of that is the large amphitheater in
which the Memorial day services of the
Grand Army Of the Republic are held.
The Sheridan gate is flanked on each
side by marble columns taken from the
old War Department building. They
bear the names Of Lincoln, Scott, Grant
and Stanton.
There are many costly and stately
monuments at Arlington of modern art
II is doubtful, however, If there is to be

THE WONDERFUL AIM.

Stick an ordinary metal handled ia
BILE or kitchen knife into the upper
part Of doorway in such manner
that the handle will point toward the
floor or threshold. Now say that
you have such a wonderful eye for
aiming that you will guarantee to lay
a walnut on the floor in so accurate
a position that the knife will hit it
surely when it is made to drop by
hitting the doorway a whack with
the fist enough to loosen it.
But first, as you do not wish to be
monopolist, you will ask anybody
else who thinks that he has a good
eye for aim, to lay the walnut where
he thinks the knife will drop.
Somebody will be sure to try 1t.
and the knife will be almost equally
sure to strike the floor to one side
or the other of the walnut. The fact
is that 1t is quite impossible for the
ordinary human eye to gauge such
matter as this accurately.
After everybody who wishes has
tried and failed, you thrust the knife
into any part Of the upper part Of the
doorway as before. and then fill a
glass with water. Raise 1t to the
knife and let the knife handle get
wetted thoroughly. Then withdraw
1t.
Some Of the water on the knife han
die will run down and drip off. Put
the walnut where the water drops
on the floor, and when you strike the
doorway and loosen the knife. 1t Ia
