HIS ho StrcclS, only alleys SIX to ten
feet wide and canals from ten to
htirty feet wide. The alleys cross the
canals, when necessary, on bridges,
always high arched for the passage
OF gondolas and lighters. And every
thing, including people, transported in
the city, is either carried on the
back or in Il boat by water. We did
not see single vehicle of any kind
or Il horse. The paving problem is
relatively unimportant in Venice, and
there is no necessity for dodging
street ears, automobiles, cabs on
trucks, all of which we found TO be
Very necessary when we reached Mil
an.
Undoubtedly there is nothing in
the way of contrast greater than
that which exists between these two
Italian citics-Vcnicc and Milan. De-
cay and former grandeur are written
all over Venice, and the silence which
one finds there is typical Of the
grave. Milan, with its half million
people, the commercial and manufac-
turing metropolis of the Kingdom Of
Italy, is in every respect, barring the
narrowness of some Of it's streets, Il
bustling, progressive modern city,
and one can easily imagine himself in
st. Louis or Cincinnati or Pittsburg,
barring the smoke. It's cathedral is
to my mind, even more pleasing than
St. Peters, at Rome. While that is
stupendous and magnificent, there is
something garish about it, and such a
studied effort to substitute some pom
tifiX maNimums as an idol to be wor-
shipped, instead of Christ, that the
simple majesty and beauty and dig
nifty of the Milan cathedral is very
Impressive. This may also be said

move OH to Venice, which city we
reached Oh July 7. The route carried
su acres the Apprentices, through
large number of tunnels and through
picturesque scenery, after which we
descended into the garden of Italy,
the far famed valley Of the Pc,
though tie land is no ri ,hcr than the
plain extending from Venice to Mil
an, which is designated rs The plain
of Lumbardy. 1t is difficult to any
one who las not seen The rich pruirics
extending from Indiana westward a.
conceive the richness of this land.
The landscape, however, is very dill
fcrent. There are no large fields
or open spaces. The mulberry trees.
whose leaves are used to feed s;lk
worms, are everywhere in evidence,
while avenues Of Lombardy poplars
and rows of elms to support grape
vines give the appearance of wood
ed country. The trees are kept
pruncd to small heads, and crops
of corn, wheat and clover are grown
right up to their roots. Every foot
of land is utilized.
We had seen comparatively little
Indian corn till we reached this fer
tile region and, considering the intel
ligence of the people, it is very
striking commentary on their lack of
experimentation and initiative that
they are such poor farmers in corn
culture. The corn is absolutely
broadcast, and when you can see any
rows at all they are from twelve to
fifteen inches wide, with just room
for one furrow with a plough. The
corn. must be cultivated mainly with
hoe, but as it is in full silk and
tassel now no work is being done in
it. AS it averages about one foot in
the drill there must be from 10000 to
10000 stalks to the acre. However
rich the land, or however perfect The
cultivation, the light and sir arc shut
out by this method of culture. While
l have no statistics as to the yield in
grain, it must be relatively small, and
there is no wonder that the disease,
pcllagra, prevails to such an alarming
extent in this country. We were told
by the government official at Rome,
who corresponds to the head Of the
United States marine hospital ser
vice, and who has good use Of the
English language and evidently is Il
man Of scientific attainment, that
there is no doubt that this terrible
disease is due entirely to the using of
unsound Indian corn as food, and
that this must be due entirely to
crowding, as the climate of Milan is
about the same as that Of Charlotte,
N. C., if anything warmer, with full
opportunity for the corn to mature
thoroughly. We bought some corn in
the Place st. Mark, in Venice. to
Feed the pigions with, and the grains
were nearly round, as though coming,
from nubbins. And, Of course, with
the corn crowded as they grow it in
Italy nothing but nubbins arc DOS
slblc. AS the peasants depend largely
on corn for food in Northern Ttalv,
and their poverty suggests or com
pcls eating whatever grain they can
get, the good and bad are ground to-
"eth hence the disease pclcera.

invalid to attempt to describe. Tt
