BY THEMSELVES
Mr.. AND MRS. LONGWORTH
SPENT THE DAY
Crowds Stared at Them Through the
Fence But No One Was Allowed
to MoTest the Bridal
Couple.

| Washington, Feb. 1S.-The first day
of Representative and Mrs. Long
worth's honeymoon was spent in the
utmost seclusion at Friendship the
country home of John r. Mclean. To
morrow the young couple will go to
Palm Beach, Fla, in the private car
Republic. They will subsequently go
to Cuba for few days, unless their
plans are changed.
Mr.. and Mrs. LongwOrth remained
in the house, away from the gaze of
the curious, until four O'Clock, when
they came out and took a walk around
the enclosed grounds. This stroll oc-
cupied a half hour. Mrs. Longworth
wore long Alice Blue cloak, which
entirely covered her dress. She did
not wear hat. Both bride and
groom were laughing and chatting in
the most animated manner. They
seemingly did not observe the crowds
of people staring at them through the
fence.
The newly married couple were alb
sOlutely alone during the day. They
dined alone and received no visitors
except a messenger from the white
house, who delivered a small pack
age.
Mounted and bicycle policemen con-
tinually guarded both entrances to
the eighty acres of land surrounding
the dwelling at Friendship and would
permit nobody to enter the enclosure.
Hundreds of people walked and drove
past the place during the day, but
none were admitted. Many stopped
and looked at the house, then resum-
ed their journey. The procession of
passersby lasted all day. Groups gath
cred about the entrance gates and
stood for hours hoping to catch a
glimpse of the bridal pair. They were
all disappointed. There seemed to be
an impression that President and
Mrs. Roosevelt would call in the after
noon but they did not do so.
Included in the crowd who passed
by the Mclean country residence eo-
day, were many distinguished person
ages but none called. Among the spec,
tators at distance, were the French
ambassador and Nine Jusserand, in
an automobile, Senator and Mrs. For.
aker, in carriage and several mem
bers of the diplomatic corps.

A Primitive rimekeeper.

An English naturalist, while visit

business 1t was to keep the time for
the village, by the aid of a primative
sand-glass.
Two bottles were firmly lashed to-
gether mouth to mouth, and fixed In
a wooden positions. A quantity of
black sand ran from one bottle into the
other in just half an hour, and when
the upper bottle was empty the frame
was reversed. Twelve short sticks,
marked with notches from one to
twelve, were hung upon a string A
hook was placed between the stick

Gales are very rare in Rome, and
never blow with extreme violence.
The most striking peculiarly of the
Roman climate is the absence Of high
winds. The air is pure and clear, ow-
ing to the almost complete absence
OF smoke. even in the winter months
The average yearly movement Of. the
air is only five miles an hour. This
is of enormous advantage in winter,
s rec the 'tramontana" north wind,
which is the prevailing wind in this
season, is, if strong, decidedly cold, and

hour is delightful for most people,
including invalids. The south winds
are essentially sea breezes. They fire.
quently alternate with. the tramon-

which fortunately does not often blow
