The Okap1.

Through Africs hidden heart I roam
In regions seldom 'trod by man;
My rainbow hues light up the gloam
AS far as mortal eyes might scan.
What wonder science sighed to see
living. breathing okap!
MY face is yellow white. my pate
Is chestnut. while my sides and feea
Are notified. and / beg to state
l am not good for men to eat.
Ger swamp and desert, dry or sloppy
Unhindered roves the rare okapi.
The puny horse must feel forlorn:
The proud giraffe oh. where is he?
Pooh. pooh. thou tabled unicorn
My neck is thick, my horns are three!
Fen man seems humbled since his eye
Has viewed the glorious okapi.
It's but subtle mark of fame
And tribute to exclusive ways
That poets can't pronounce my name
When sounding paeons in my praise.
Yet none the less it makes them happy
To sing the newly gained okapi.

Exploit Of the Lake

power with which the imaginative
Jules Verne equipped the Nautilus.
She can be submerged in wonderful
ly short space of time in spite of her
size, for with a length of eighty-five
feet she is the largest submarine ever
built in this country.
BY an ingenious arrangement the
lead keel of the Lake, can be detached
at any time. Shouldfthe vessel fail to
rise to the surface for any reason a
turn of wrench will let the five tons
of lead on the keel fall off and thus
give to the vessel five tons more buoy
ancy.
She left Newport News at Il quarter
past O'Clock in the afternoon of June
% and stopped off Cape Henry to sig
nal Mr.. Lake. She got under way
again that evening at half past 4
o'clock and did not stop her engines
again during the passage except on
Wednesday morning, June 81, when off
Barnegat, when she shut down for a
short time to watch the antics of some
other submarines in the form of
school of whales.

MAKING OVER A

400 feet above the city into forest
park
There is 10 spring, we'll, brook or

SUBMITS of this singular park, nor will
it be possible to raise water from the
valley for the irrigation of trees,
shrubs and flowers. yet the expert for

of the park are agreed that several va
ricties of evergreen trees will flourish
there without water or attendance.

One more fad has seized upon girls
who have so much pocket money they
can afford to spend it on stray fancies,
says correspondent of the New York
Press. The new idea is to select a
favorite flower and use it In lieu of a
crest on stationery and other personal
belongings. Miss Mathilde Townsend
has selected the violet, and to her
chums she indltes notes on highly per
fumed paper of violet tint with a few
petals of the flower on its surface.
Miss Harriet Wadsworth is partial to
moss rosebuds. and these are seen on
her special note paper. Pansies, hearts
ease. heliotrOpe, all figure in this new
fashion. The fad should be encouraged
as a step away from the all too prev
alent snobbiShness and toward democ-
racy, for it certainly is more Amer
lean to have a simple flower for a
crest than to copy the family bearings
of some lackey or thief who was en-
nobled by some complaisant king cen
turtles ago.

TRIBUTE TO WHITE.
Augustus Lukeman Says Architect
lures LOSS Is StupeudOus.


A tribute to the late Stanford White
as an architect and man WAS recent
ly paid in statement given out by
Augustus Lukeman, the sculptor, who
was Mr.. Whites intimate friend for
fifteen years, says the New York Trlb-
une. Mr.. Lukeman Is Il director of the
National Sculpture society and the as
sociate in important sculptural works
of Augustus st. Gaudens and Daniel c.
French. His statement follows In
part:
In the stress of excitement and the
horror that seems to have overcome
the art world no voice appears to be
raised calling attention TO the stupen-
dous loss that has befaslen the coun-
try in the death of Stanford White, the
architect In one or two papers there
have been editorials that have touched
only lightly on the achievements of
this great man, this great producer and
genius that has passed away. But 1t
will be a generation or two before such
a commanding figure will again appear
upon the horizon of the art world. and
1t will take many years before the in
fiueItce of his genius will cease TO in
spire and stimulate the taste for the
beautiful in life and art which he has
left behind.
"a great deal has been said about
the supposed pace that kills quality
Of this man, but practically nothing of
the refinement of his nature that Is ev
erywhere in evidence where he was
to lan fina
of artistic beauty The silence of the
art world strikes me as though it were
overwhelmed by its loss and, still stag
gerlng under the blow, was not yet
sufficiently recovered to give express
sion to admiration Of the wonderful
qualities of the man.
"Mr. White was not only an artist,
great architect, if not the greatest of
his age, but he had generous spirit,
which stimulated the interest of the
allied art workers and the taste OF the
public to a higher standard OF beauty.
You will find his refined spirit guiding
the hand of the sculptor and painter
invariably in each example of his archi-
lecture, and / do not hesitate TO say
he has many times sunk his individual
ity as only a true artist could do in or
der to make a concrete, perfect pro-
duction. This is eXemplified by MANY
examples of Mr.. Whites work
Mr.. White created more beautiful
environment in their homes for many
laymen. He beautified their lives and
made them see there was something
more In life than lust. He is response
BILE for the best examples of art treas
ures that are found in the homes of
our so called refined millionaires."

That answer made some very definite
demands:
First.-General amnesty for pelitical
prisoners.
STANDARDIZATION of the death pen
atty.
Third Suspension of martial law
and of all exceptional laws.
Fourth.-Full civil liberty.
Fifth.-Abolition of the council of
empire. an upper house somewhat
worse than our senate.
Sixth.-Revision of the fundamental
law, which was promulgated to limit
the douma and protect the autocracy.
Seventh.-Make the ministers respon-
sible to the douma.
Eighth-Rlght of the douma to ques-
ton the ministers in public.
Ninth.-Forced cXpropriation OF land
from the mobiles 50 that it may pass
into the hands of these who till it.
Tenth-Guarantee of the rights of
labor unions.
Music of Liberty.
Throughout the document bristles
with thrusts at the bureaucracy. the
grafters and the petty despots who
stand between the car and the peo-
pie. These must go If the ear stands
with them possibly he may go with the
rest. The answer does not say this, but
there are meanings in il not put badly
in words. Besides. when people
starts moving it sometimes goes fur
ther than at first intended. When that
great inert mass of the Slav empire
gets momentum it might be as well for
little Nicholas to stand out of the way.
He might find it of advantage care
fully to read the lives of Charles Stu
art and Louis Capet. A perusal of the
deaths of these two gentlemen might
also be instructive. The world has adj
vanced, it is true. since those events
took place. but Russia is still some
what primitive, and the folks there
have elemental passions. In times of
revolution man is only Il man. and
blue blood is as liable To flow as any
other sort. Russia has got the music of
liberty in her heart now. and she Will
march to il. She has seen the vision of
a free state. and she is bound for 1t.
With all that has been said against
the more radical of the Russian revo-
1utionarieS one thing should not be for
gotten - that if II had not been for
them the douma in all probability
would never have been called. The

to cafl national consultative assem-
bly, that would have no real power.
Now that he has il, lie wants TO let go.
The plight of the American president
who had congress on his hands" Is
not circumstance to that Of Mich
olas. The douma may not be able to
do anything but its very presence
gives IA sense Of solidarity 10 the people
and unifies them for their struggle
with the privileged classes. Moreover,
it gives :; definite and authoritative
statement of their demands. 1t makes
them an organic entity rather than
mob.
Influence of the DOuma.
The first surprise that came. and it
was an agreeable one to all lovers OF
liberty. was the Intelligence with
which the moujiks used the ballot. All
sorts of pessimistic and doleful predic-
lions had been made on this head.
Self styled superior persons always af-
feet to distruSt the people, forgetting
that they themselves are part Of the
people. Evils in government come, not
from trusting the masses, but from self
seeking men. from those who want to
use public place for private ends and
most of all from those who corruptly
obtain special privileges not granted TO
their fellows. 1t is these things that
are in contra vention TO democratic in
stitutiOns which are at fault. not the
democratic institutions themselves. No
pure appeal to the people was ever dis
appointed This has been proved over
and over again throughout modern his
tory. 1t was proved once more in the
case of the Russian peasantry. Their
experience in the mir, or village assem-
of the province. had schoOled them for
self government. With practically
unanimous voice throughout the great
empire they declared for cOnstitu
tiOnal democracy. Only small hand
full of conservatives were elected 10
the douma, and even they have not
the temerity TO stand with the bureau
cracy. The vast majority of the body
stand for a freedom even farther ad
vanced than that of England and
France. and the attitude of the car is
driving them TO vet more radical
grounds. A little more hesitancy on
the part of Nicholas will make OF the
douma a thoroughly revolutionary
body, and as goes the douma so goes
the empire.

For many years the Thirteen club
has defied every known superstition
and courted every known or unknown
calamity that can be brought by doing
''unlucky' things, says the New York
Telegram. While thus dying in the
face of fate the club has fiourished and
grown until it is TO have a clubhouse

organization is going TO launch the
boldest possible challenge to all the
powers of evil.
For a site of the clubhouse the Thir-

by collapsing OF the church floor a few
years ago.
The house itself is TO be a great

IN our own day we are seeing the
transformation of a great people
from despOtism 10 democracy. Be
fore our eyes transpire the begin
nings OF another French revolution
only this one Is not among the volatile
Latins, but among the melancholy
Slavs. 1t is given us to behold the
coming of liberty. Once more we may
learn that she does not move back
ward. but that. first in one land, then
In another. she marches onward. The
rule of the people is now the most liv-
ing factor or. rather promise in all ma
tons. This England begins TO realize,
as do France. Germany. even America,
and Russia most of all.
Russia has been like an Ice locked
land for ages-ice locked under abso-
lutism, bureaucracy, repression-but
now the sun Of freedom shines upon
her and the masses begin to melt. to
move. There will be avalanches later.
A Striking Parallel.
The parallel between the Russian
and French revolution is one of the
most striking things in modern history
1t Is as though the leaders OF the dou-
course after that taken by the French
national convention. Both bodies had

manner of a weak. we'll intentioned.

deal. Both represented the same kind
of a sullen, desperate constituency.
hardened and brutalized through cen
turtles of misrule; both met In May:
both named its radical group The
Mountain" and both had a similar
trinity of watchwords-the cry of
Liberty, Fraternity, Equality in
France having been modified into
Freedom. Land and Amnesty In
Russia.
How much further the parallel may
go who can tell? Already the douma
is breaking with the car, as the
French convention broke with the
king. Will the drama be re-enacted to
the end? VIII the wrongs of ages be
avenged in one earthquake year of ter
ror and the new day be ushered In
through red and smoky dawn?
