Among them were the Texas, the Rhode Island, the new Mon itor, a relic of the old Monitor. which is never moved and many others of the fleet which move up and down the great waterway. These great ships are very beautiful at night when their thousands of lights twinkle over the dancing waves. We were almost for getting the beauty of the Exposition grounds at night and those two wonder full search lights. Just after we left our hotel piazza for the wharf enroute for home the Governor of Pennsylvania and staff arrived and we had fine op- portunity to see their beautiful uni forms, but not until we were well star ted on our way did we find that we had the governor, staff and two bands on board. The bands played while we were at supper and the music on the water was like magic to our tired minds. It seems like flying to travel over 200 miles so quickly. We were due at Washington, D. C., at a. m., but we could not land until nine. We saw Mt Vernon as we passed, Alexandria, and they rang bell as salute. The current was too strong to land here, so we left the steamer at Washington, D. c., and went to the National for a 10 o'clock breakfast, for which our appetites were most keen. We found that we had little time before our train left for the north and we spent this time looking at the city market and enjoyed it as only country travel CTS could. Every thing was so clean and sweet, the place being inspected daily. Here were the bright flowers and the rosy fruits, meats and vege- tables and even the choicest of baking turkeys, Drowned to a turn ready to set in the oven to heat for the table.
 We did not neglect to pay our re- spects to the Smithsonian Museum, but one hour could not do it justice and we soon were obliged to turn our faces homeward.
 It was dark and raining hard when we reached the ferry to cross to New York and it was with a sense of rejoic- ing that we found our train at the Grand Central, New York, which car- ried us back to freside and friends, who were anxiously awaiting theNtale of our travels.

 auto ride around the city before taking the steamer. Norfolk, for Old Point. In that two hours ride about the city we caught glimpses of the Longworth house, Admiral Dewey's home, the Tal- mage residence, the house where Pres ident Lincoln died, also Lord Theater where he was assassinated. It was near the supper hour when we boarded our steamer and hoping for clear day we went early to bed in order to be on deck in the morning to see the sun rise over the water. We were rewarded by a glorious sunrise. The great orb seemed to climb out of the water and leave a ripling track of rainbow lights behind it.
 We reached Old Point with good appetite for breakfast, which we found at Old Point Tavern. Next we took our steamer for the Exposition grounds. It would be impossible to describe, half we saw. Of course we thought that Connecticut had the finest state building and the exhibit made one feel proud of belonging to the sturdy little Nutmeg state. When we tired of the exposition grounds we took the trolley for Elizabeth City, the Sol diers' home where we visited the Ad- ministration building, hospital, Conva- lescent house, chapel, etc. There were sixty-seven buildings which covered seventy-six acres. At the present time there are about 250 soldiers liv- ing there. The death rate averages "A per month so that it wont be many years before these veterans will have passed on to their reward. Everything seemed to wear the air of comfort and we were proud that such a home had been provided for those men to whom our country owes so much.
 Our next ride was to Hampton and here we were impressed by the well kept grounds and the industrial train ing, which is such feature of this great school. Newport News was the next point of interest. Here we visit ed the ship yards in order to see the two new battleships, the Louisiana and the Montana, which were just being finished. From the ship yards we went on to Norfolk where we took an auto ride around the city. Night wal upon us when we turned our thoughts to- ward the exposition grounds. It was so dark on our long trolley ride that we could not see anything of the country were crossing. When we reached the wharf we boarded the steamer for Old Point. Next morning we started out from our hotel to visit old Fortress Monroe, where we hoped to see drill, but it was pay day and a holiday be- sides, so there was nothing of theekind to be seen. There was a parade later in the day, too late for our program. So we contented ourselves with ex- amining the great guns and the old revolutionary relics; also those of the civil war. How odd these instruments of war looked beside those great bright and shining new ones, which were only used for target practice! It was easy to finger whole forenoon among these historical treasures and it was with re- gret that we returne to Old Point, packed our suit cases and made ready for our trip via Steamer Norfolk for Washington, D. c.
 As we sat on the piazza that atfer- noon and looked out over Hampton Roads, we saw the great battle ships

with Jones on the seat beside him,
shook out his ribbons and took to the
trail, headed for Death valley. Where
he was going and how long he would be
on the road he would not say. The out
fit consisted of five mules and a heavy
blackboard well loaded with sacks and
boxes.
The plan was to get samples and
make maps of "Scotty's" mine, and if
the property proved to be as represent

over and pay "Scotty's' price.

mystery of Death Valley Scotty' and
