places. It can be stated upon reliable information that most of the Long, worth and Roosevelt families will con fine their presents to diamonds and jewelry, and it is now certain that the total value of Miss Rooseyelt's pres ents will amount to large fortune.
 Secret service men are considering measures for protecting the gifts that will begin to reach the White House as the wedding day approaches. l From New York comes word that several leading jewellers have a rush of orders for wedding presents. One of the costliest of these is a diamond bedecked tiaray which is to contain precious gems. The settings are of Tiffany's latest.
 A stomacher, or jeweled belt, set with diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds, is also being made by Tiff fany. A solid gold coffee set and a chest of table silver, each having unique designs, are being made in New York.
 Here is a small list of articles that 1t is understood has been ordered for Miss Roosevelt:
 Set of bronze vases. two pieces of costly marble statuary, a jeweled vari- ety box, many odd pieces of silverware. cut glass, a jeweled> bonbonniere. a poudre case, jeweled leveller with diamond pendant, and a beautiful cor sage ornament.
 The amount of silverware that has been ordered for this wedding is aston ishing. It is known that Gorham & Go. are making costly chest of silver, and that still another New York firm has an order for a speciality designed after dinner silver set

FLOATING PALACE OF
 CALIGULA TO BE RAISED

in their examination brought up samples of richly wrought bronze which had be- come detached from the decorations. Nothing further was done until 1927, when another engineer succeeded in breaking off the prov of one of the vessels, to it's permanent injury.
 A few years ago, Signor Berghi, noted antiquarian, obtained permission from the Orsini family to make another attempt and although he was unsuccessful in ac- complaining his purpose he managed with his grapping irons to rip up the palaces pretty generally and has probably de- stroyed much of their beauty and value He took out many beautiful decorations of bronze and marble before he was stopped by the Minister of Public lnstruc- ton, who has charge of the antiquarian research in Italy. The articles are now hidden away to escape confiscation by the government, which has been trying to get hold of them. There nas been a bitter controversy in the newspa pers and pamph- lets, and the government has forbidden any further methods which will injure the boats. The boats are made of cedar, with a thick coating of pitch and covered with cloth. on the outside of which a skin of sheet lead of great thickness is fastened with coper nails The decks are paved with glass mosaics.

A company has been formed, with a capital of $1OO,OO0, for the purpose of draining the water from this lake The object is to recover two enormous floating gardens, or houseboats, which were built and used by the crazy Emperor Caligula about forty years before Christ. Ancient historians tell us that Caligula squander- ed in fantastic schemes in one year sum equivalent to $1O0,OO0,000 which had been left him by Tfberius, and described among other fantastic toys constructed for his amusement gardens of cedar wood adorned with jewelled prows, rich sculpture, yes sels of gold and silver, sails of purple silk. bath rooms of alabaster and bronze, and other novel and costly features.
 Growing upon these floating gardens were fruit trees and vineyards. Not only were they palaces of amusements but temples in which the mad Emperor wor- shipped himself. The floors were paved with glass mosacs, the window and door frames were of bronze, many of the deco rations were of priceless value, and the ordinary designs were of beautiful and costly workmanship For some reason or another, probably during the war that fol- lowed the reign of Caligula, these palaces were sunk, and now lie in the mud two hundred yards distant from each other, in five fathoms of water; one is one hun dred and fifty feet from the bank and the other about two hundred and fifty

From the New York American.
 Miss Roosevelt's engagement ring was bought in this city. It Is a cluster ring of diamonds. Already local jew elers are receiving orders for wedding gifts to be presented to Miss Alice by her many friends. Among the most notable so far secured here are the massive silver vase and several gold trays. It is believed that Miss Roose- velts wedding presents will represent in number and variety a greater dis play in gems, gold and silver than has been gathered at any official wedding in years.
 A majority of wedding gifts bear the trademarks of well-known New York firms, but purchases are already re- ported from Philadelphia and other

"Rip" Gave Little Boy Seat on the
 Stage.

Francis Wilson In Scribner's.
 While we were talking there In the box office, I saw little boy peeping in at the door. I called to him and asked him to shake hands with Mir Jefferson. The boys mother followed, and was elated to find her son chatting with Rip Van Wrinkle" She explained that the boys father had told him all about Washington Irving's Rip of the Cats kills" and had given him book on Christmas that he might read it for himeslf.
 Now said the mother, pointing to Mir. Jefferson, this is Rip he doesn't look like man anybody would drive out into the mountains, does he?"
 And while the little fellow pondered the matter, MT. Jefferson's sons and begged Rip" to discard his ferocious aspect and assume a guileless air if he had it not--to please to look like mountaineer whom no one would dream of driving out into fearful storm. The most amiable of men, he was never more amiable than that day. He bub- bled over with good humor Here, then, was one cause of his great sue cess-all his attractive personal char acteristics he carried over into his DOT trayals and by his delicate and human delineation of the character of the sweet-dispositioned Dutchman, by the rare skill of his acting, he had become a classic along with the works of Washington Irving, Dickens and Cole man. to whose creatures of the brain Joseph Jefferson has lent personality,
