ual of an investigating turn of mind

forgotten roads and seriously proposes
that they be utilized as motor speed
ways.
Some of the old big maps of Eng
land show these roads and make it
plain that England was covered with
a veritable network of straight Roman
highways These roads fell into dis
repair and disuse when the building of
new towns off the routes necessitated
the leaving Of them by their users to
get to those places. Says writer in
The Car: The best known example
of one of these roads is the great
Waiting Street. Every motorist-who
does not live eternally on the Ripley
road--knows how from London this
road runs almost straight through St.
Adams, Dunstable and Towcester till
it comes to a little place called Wee

l suppose, wanted to go to Coventry
or Birmingham or Warwick, the road
now turns off to the left, and only a

HOW AND WHERE THIS INDUSTRY
is CARRIED ON.
Provides Employment for Many Of the
Women and Children Of the
Sunny land--From Co.
coon to Fabric.

How many ladies think of the won
derful transformation through which
the golden thread, the precious prod
uct of the laborious silkworm, must
90 before the woven material reaches
their hands? Yet to study the manu-
facture of silk, step by step, in every
phase, from the cocoon state until the
silk il made into skeins ready for the
weaver, is both interesting and in
structive. Italy stands first in Europe
in the silk spinning manufacture; then
come France, Germany, Austria and
Spain. Hungary has only lately taken
to the rearing of the silkw0rm. Eng
land cannot do it on account of her
cold climate. The greatest part of the
silk produced in Italy comes from the
Lombard and Venetian regions; but
Piedmont produces quality of silk
superior to any other.
Those who have never visited an
Italian spinningmill can have no ade-
Quate idea of the lives led by the
many women (of from II to so years
of age) employed. Few of us think
OF the obscure existence of these wom-
en- when the wonderful products of
theif work are before us. Most of the
spinning-mills in Italy are in villages
or small towns, and the workers are
generally girls from the same place,
or from the neighboring villages
The"e poor girls earn from so cen.
times to franc a day at most; they
walk for miles to reach the mill early
In tie morning, and go home at dusk
On their way they sing popular songs.
However scanty the wages may be,
some peasants are so poor that they
are glad to earn them, working IL
hours a day, in excessively heated
roolns, in which even in winter the
heat is oppressive
The cocoons, when first sent to the
spinning-mil are spread over table
to be selected. From the bright yellow
cocoons very fine quality comes, and
from the faulty ones, of course, an
inferior quality. When the choice is
made. the cocoons are washed in hot
water, and are left in it for some time
to get cooked" After the washing

CREATURE OF AFRICAN JUNGLES
SNAPPED az CAMERA.
For First Time in History This Rare
Animal Has Been Seen Alive
by White Man and His
Picture Taken.

That interesting creature, the okapi,
allied to the giraffe, and discovered
by Sir Harry Johnston on the eastern
border of the Congo forest (near the
Semliki river, which joins the Albert
Nyanza and the Albert Edward lake,
had never been observed and studied
by white man in it's living state until
tive months ag0-when young calf
okapi a bout month old was obtained
by Signor Ribotti at Bambilli, on the
Evelle river (about 400 miles north
west of the original locality.
The skins and bones of the opaki
which have been sent TO England have
Invariably been obtained by travellers
from the natives. No sportsman or
naturalist has shot an okapi or even
seen one alive. The half-breed servant
of Lieutenant Boyd Alexander saw and
tracked for two days with natives an
okapi on the Eyelle river, near the
spot from which the photograph from.
which our picture was made comes.
The natives dug pit trap for it and
speared it. Boyd Alexander did not
see it until it was dead. The timidity
of the okapi, it's rarity, and the re-
moteness of the Congo forest, the
fringes Of which it inhabits, are the
reasons why white men have hitherto
not seen the okapi alive
Special interest therefore attaches
to Signor Ribotti's photograph. This
young calf was brought in by natives
to the stockaded and well-provided set
tlement at Bambilli last April. 1t was
about a month old, and between two
and three feet high. After living a few
weeks in captivity it died, but it is
not at all improbable that live speci-
men will before long be successfully
managed, and make it's appearance in
some of the ZOOS of our large cities.
The difficulty will be to find vegetable
food which will suit the peculiar taste
of this forest-dwelling ruminant, with
it's small, delicate front teeth, suited
only to cropping young and soft vege-
tation.
There is no doubt that the Pygmies
of the Ituri forest use the name of
"Okapi" for this animal 81 have shown

New York.-Touched by a child's
grief, one of two masked burglars who
entered the apartments of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Crespi, in the Hotel Endi-
colt, and stole jewels worth about ST.
OOO, after threatening six-year-old Pa
cif1ca Crespi and her nurse, returned
to the little girl a pearl-studded
rosary. The piece of jewelry had been
wedding gift to Mrs. Crespi from her
father, Jose Maria Castro, formerly
president of a Central American re-.
public.
The little girls tears, when she saw
the men taking the rosary, followed a
tit of passionate rage, during which
she flew at one of the men and bit
him on the hand so severely that she
drew blood. But this man was the
one who, when he saw the child's
grief, told the other it would be a
shame to take the rosary, and handed
it back to her.
The nurse, Katharine Creation, was
putting little Pacifica and her baby
sister to bed when the two men,
masked to their chins, came down the
fire escape from the roof and entered
the window
The child, relating what occurred,
said:
Mamma and papa had just gone to
the theater, and Katie was getting the
baby-that's my little sister, Tulita-
ready for bed, when two men. wearing
masks, came in the window. Katie
screamed and one of the men, a big
man, pointed revolver at her and
told her he would kill her if she didn't
keep still.
Then the little man-he had pis-
tol, too-asked me if was afraid l
think he was afraid, because his hand
shook so. I told him l wasn't, and
asked what he wanted. He laughed
and told Katie to go into the other
room, but l stayed.

the treasure buried by that throat-cut-

tice put a rope around his neck and
swung him off into eternity.
Think of it-$6,0OO,OOO in Spanish
doubloons, jewels and solid gold altar
ornaments waiting for the man who
can find them!
And Small, of Lancashire, England,
knows that spot. He says he has the
longitude and latitude of the island
and a chart with the triangle of ma
hogany trees. These located, he can
go straight to the place where the
treasure lies, so feet below, buried in
Quicksand
AS the story goes, the pirate La
trobe on the night before his execu-
tion at Kingston, Jamaica, placed in
the hands of boy who had been
forced into service on his ship a pack
ct of papers, and these it seems he
kept until as an old man he died on
board ship in the Pacific ocean. Into
the hands of young DR.. Davidson,
who attended him in his last illness,
this old sailor placed the packet of
papers. Thirty years afterward, in
1888, DR.. Davidson fitted out an ex-
pedition and visited the spot where
the gold is supposed to be buried. but
it was found that the quicksands
baffled their efforts and DR.. Davidson
and his crew were forced to return
home empty handed.
Eight years elapsed. Cornelius
Healy had been with the expedition,
and he tried to get up another one in
| 1906, but he couldn't raise the money
And so nothing was done until w. H.

round a spinning-wheel with a mano.

they wouldn't stop. Then l got mad
and l ran up to the little man who

Then Julia started to cry, and
Katie called to them and said she

Historically and little Pacifica trying
to comfort her, telling her that her
father and mother would be home
soon. The nurse and the two children
had been locked in a side room by
the burglars before"they left. They
were liberated and then Mr.. Crespi
made out list of the stolen jewels
and took it to police headquarters.
The best clew the police have to
work on is the wounded hand of one
of the men and they are searching

The rapid developing of motoring
has raised the question of good roads
everywhere, and in England, strange
as it may seem, it has been discovered
that the best road builders were the
ancient Romans, who overran the ISL
and and constructed their highways to
all parts of the island. Most of these
roads have been lost and forgotten
because with the development Of the
centuries the country has grown away
from these ancient highways. But
with the coming of the motor car the
need of good straight roads has been
realized, and some thoughtful individ-
