and ending with the discovery of gold
in California in 1S49. These incidents
were:
Cortes entering the temple of the
sun in Mexico; Pizarro with the horse,
progressing in the conquest of Peru;
pi river; the rescue of Capt. John
Smith by Pocahontas; the disembark-
alton of the Pilgrim Fathers; Penn's
treaty with the Indians and the set
tlement of Pennsylvania; the indus
trial colonization of the New England
states; Gen. Oglethorpe and the Mus
cogee chief in the settlement of ,Geor-
gia; the Battle of lexington; the Dec
laration of Independence; the sur
render of CORVALLIS; the death of Te-
cumseh; the American army entering
the City of Mexico; the discovery of
|gold in California in 1S49.
These are the painted incidents as
they stand to-day, and there remains
room for one large or two smaller ad-
ditions. The ugly gap in the great
dome of the rotunda of the national
capitol mars it's beauty to a marked
degree. For more than dozen years
the guides have told visitors that the
great paintings would be finished dur
ing the year, and for a dozen years
or more the artists rough scaffolding
hung in place, useless, a blot on the
beauty of the rotunda.
Inability of the lawmakers to agree
on suitable allegory to complete the
cycle of events represented has been
the drawback in this really necessary
matter, and all the begging and plead
ing on the part of the architect that
the work be completed has availed
nothing. The rotunda of the capitol
is it's most attractive feature. 1t is
usually the first part of the great
building which visitor sees.
The renovation of the dome and the
rotunda waits on the completion of
the frieze and in it's present condition
there are evidences of bad housekeep-
ing. The rotunda is 95 feet inches
in diameter, and 180 feet above it's
marble floor hangs the canopy of the
9,UUO,OOO pound dome, which gives
the capitol it's imposing appearance.
Around this dome are galleries, to
which thousands of visitors climb
every month to get nearer and better
view of the decorations.
It has been broadly hinted that but
for the fear of engendering sectional
feelings designs would have been
agreed upon years ago. An illustra-
ton of the surrender at Apponlattox,
the emancipation proclamation or
anything touching any of the histor-
ical events of the civil war would not
meet with the approval of those who
espOused the lost cause or who lived
in the south. That this has been the
cause of the deadlock there can be
but little question, and members of
the committee who lean toward the
civil war panel idea have been asked:
why take an incident Of the civil
war? Nowhere in the frieze will you
find picture of George Washington,
and the Father of His Country ought
not to be left out in the picturing Of
the history Of America"

French Chemical scarecr row.

According to recent experiments by
stanllas Tetard, widely known
French agriculturist, wheat and other
cereals can be protected against the
ravages of crows, which are particu.
larly fond of the grain when its
sprouts are just pushing above the
ground, by treating the seeds before
they are sown with mixture of coal
tar, petroleum and picnic acid.
This treatment, which delays the
growth OF the seed for day or two
but causes no damage, but which dis.
appears after the sprouts have at.
tanned a larger growth, when they are
no longer subject to attack.

The article is from the penof one of
the most brilliant newspaper men of
Colorado who does not disclose his
own name, but who writes the article
under the nom de plume of Coin
tree and who also calls himself
"the man in the orchard"
The Sentinel knows the identity of
this writer and has long recognized
in him one of the ablest and brainiest
writer's In the west. He is man
who has frequently visited Grand
Junction in past years and knows
whereof he speaks.
The article is copyrighted, but The
Sentinel is privileged to use extracts
therefrom. There is no question but
what it will attract much attention
to this section of the state. The writ
er believes that fortune follows the
fruit growers flag" and has himself
invested in orchard property, showing
bis sincerity in expressing faith in
the fruit industry of Colorado.
Among the rich portions of this
splendid article are the following:
There is Sunshine in Every Apple.
Colorado fruit is noted for ITS
quality over the entire country.
Grand valley or Paonia apples can
be shipped through the orchard state
of Michigan and command a higher
price per box of 60 pounds than the
Michigan grower can command for
barrel of so pounds. A 20-pound
box of Grand Junction peaches Will
bring 80 cents more on the market
in st. Louis than a 60-pound, or bush
ell measure, of Missouri peaches.
There is no limit to the demand
for western slope fruit. You ask
why? The answer is found in the
following pctnts of vantage: (a) a
rich soil; OBJ "a constant sunshine:
(c) a system of irrigation that brings
water to the roots of plants without
shutting off the sunshine from their
leaves. The quality of fruit depends
largely upon sunshine. The mineral

Readers of the public press Of this

Life of DR.. Bard.
Dr. Bard was born in 1873 in
Schwerin, Germany, among the aristo-
cracy of that country, his father being
supreme church counselor of Mecklen-
burg. He was educated in the grand
ducal college of Schwerin and immi-
grated to the United States in 1890
