MODERN vANDALs SACK ROME.
Mobiles Replacing Antiques with
Products of France and England

Mobiles Replacing Antiques with
Products of France and England.
Christian emperors, popes, medieval
MOBILES, the barbarians, fire, flood, earth
quake-all have contributed their share
to the demolition of monuments of an
Client Rome, says the Philadelphia
North American. Pagan temples have
been destroyed TO build palaces, bronze
statues have been stolen or melted,
while marble statues have been con-
verified into lime or used as missiles to
check an assault.
1t Is a pleasing fancy that present
generations have a different attitude
toward the past; that archaeology is
striving to rebuild what has been de-
mOlished. But the fancy does not seem
to hold good In practice. In fact, while
the so-called destroyers Of Rome de-
mOlished, but did not in every case
obliterate all traces of the past, their
modern successors of to-day, although
living in what is supposed to be a high
ly enlightened time, ruthlessly trans
form the ancient into the modern.
When the Via Nazionale was opened,
the palaces of illustrious Romans,
which once lined the Vicus Longus and
were discovered while the new street
was being cut, were destroyed and re-
buried. The remains of the celebrated
Horti Sallustiani, which had survived
the shocks of time and were incorpor-
ated in two villas, Ludovisi and MASH
mo, were mercilessly sacrificed by their
owners in 1886 and pulled down to make
place for new streets and modern
houses. A German, Herr Spithoever,
filled one Of the valleys Of the gardens
on Sallust with material brought from
the Servian embankment and converted
the place into fiat building lots.
Such instances could be multiplied
passes without the sale of an old pal
ace or villa full Of historic interest and
romance. The owners, Roman noble
men of ancient and nlustrious families,
prefer hard cash to an old palace, and
they are always willing to not only
sell their houses, but also their old
furniture.
One by one the old palaces of Rome
are disappearing, those that are left
standing are being modernized and
transformed and everything old is
doomed to perish. There is a craze
among the Roman nobility for modern
ism, which Is encouraged by the tempt
ing offers of both native and fOreig
dealers in antiques.

Air-Derived Nitroqen.

The industry of manufacturing fer
tilizers by taking nitrogen direct
from the air by electrical process is
expanding in Norway. A project is
on foot to utilize the great Rjukan-
fos Fall to supply electric power for
this purpose. The Rjukanfos Fall is
one of the most beautiful in the
world, and of extraordinary height,
more than 1850 feet. 1t is calculated
that when fully utilized it will furnish
100000 effective horsepower. But at
the beginning only half the height of
the fall will be utilized, the upper
part being left undisturbed. 1t is ad-
mitted that the scenic beauty of the
fall will be destrOyed.-Yohth's Com

Very Queer HorScsboes

In Iceland horses are shod with
sleeps horns; in the Soudan the horses
are shod with socks made of cancels
skin. A German not long ago invented
a horseshoe of paper, prepared by sat
urating with oil, turpentine and other
ingredients. The layers of such paper
are glued to the hOof until the required
thickness is obtained, and the shoe thus
made is durable and impeneuable by
moisture.

CUT OUT OF FORTUNE.

Young Man DiSinherited Because He
Did Not Hurry to Deathbed.
Because Loyal L. Smith, a former La
Crosse boy, now of Peoria, ILL.,, did not
hasten to the bedside of his uncle in
New York when summoned by the news
that the man was i'll, he was disinherited
and lost 100000 which his uncle had
agreed to settle on him. The money
was left instead as a trust fund to care
for homeless boys. Young Smith has been
receiving $500 per month from his
wealthy relatives and has always been
given to understand he would inherit
$3,O0O,O00. The young man will now go
to work as an electrical engineer.

HIGH SCHOOL IS RAzED.
Fire Destroys 100000 Building in
Sturgeon Bay.

Sturgeon Bay.
Sturgeon Bays magnificent 100000
high school building was destroyed by
fire early on a recent morning. When the
blaze was discovered about 80 the
whole bottom floor was in flames. Not
a single thing was saved, all the valua-
bic records being among the losses. Near
ly every family in town suffers a loss, as
all of the thousands of dollars worth of
school books in the twelve grades were
destroyed. There was only $4,000 of
insurance oil the building and contents.
Immediate steps will be taken to resume
school sessions in vacant buildings and
to make arrangements for rebuilding.
Sturgeon Bay is left practically without
a school, as the burned building con-
tanned the high school and provided quar-
ters for the First, Second and Third
ward grammar schools.

Postwoman's 100000 Miles on Foot

An extraordinary instance of the
arduous work done at some of the
remote branches of the post Office SER
vice is reported from Newman, near
Baldrock, Herts, where Mrs. Clark,
at the age of Sc, still fulfls the du-
ties of postmistress and "post-wom-
an"
For twenty years she did most of
the outside work Of the office, while
her sister was postmistress, and dur
ing the last fifteen years she has
walked $4,000 miles in delivering let
tiers. In the whole thirty-five years
she has travelled about 100000 miles
on foot. With large postbag strap
ped across her shoulders and wearing
a little cloth cap and heavy boots
she trudges regularly on her rounds
in spite of rain or storm or snow.
Mrs. Clark began her association
with the post Office at the age of IA
and has thus been in the service for
fifty-two years. Her ordinary daily
round is eleven miles, and her work
particularly at Christmas time, often
makes it necessary for her to ploi
along the lonely country roads by
night. She knows every inch of the
district, and she even despises the
use of the lanterns which many OF
her neighbors carry when abroad in
the darkness.-London Tribune.

usual tests of Doubling Thomases,

in a few minutes drew up before q

wake this son as he had to rise early
in the morning. but as he was sound

ably would be able to manage that

the exposition would be held In 1912.
