AMERICAN LANDSCAPE.

How II Differs From That Of Eng.
Land and the Continent.
The American landscape, even In the
older parts Of the country. Is generally
unkempt and does not lend itself as
readily to formal treatment as does the
typical. English or continental land
scape. The owners Of big estates rare
ly appreciate the scale on which the
landscape architecture should be laid
out and the patience which is neces-
sary to obtain q complete and consum.
mate effect. They want ready made
estates. Finally, the leading American
house architects have. with few ex
cepdons, q good deal to learn about
the technique Of landscape design. So
far as the large house itself IL con
cofned, q convention has been estAb
lished which is In the main a gooG
convention. but the designing OF gar
dens Is still in an early experimental
stage. The stage properties are col
lected in abundance. There is no lack
OF pergolas, fountains. well heads. gu
zebos, statuary and pottery. but as like
as not they are indiscriminately placed
The architectural features are. how
ever, generally somewhat better man
aged than the planting, which fire.
quently looks as II an Irish gardener
had been given some vague general di
rections, or as IL the lady of the house
had considered that 1t was q woman's
business to make the garden green
As a matter Of fact, however, the lady
OF the house. in case she has her own
way. generally paints the garden gel
low and red rather than green. Her
idea usually is merely to get as much
bloom rs possible. and this she does at
a sacrifice Of those masses Of foliage
which are absolutely necessary to give
mass. body and depth to large gar

lance. It would hardly be possible to
hit anything but big city at that
range. But the aerial torpedo will
outrange the biggest gun now In use.
and It Is possible that It will be Of use
against attacking fleets and coast for
tifications, and will be even more ef-
fectiye than the aeroplane itself In
up rich cities for ransom.
It Is pointed out that the aerial tor
pedo is much cheaper to construct
than submarine torpedo, and that it
is more accurate at the same range.

The River Koneo.

Tropical rivers vary greatly in vol
urne In the rainy season sweeping to
the sea in vast torIential floods and
near the end Of the dry season flowing
slowly and only in the central and
deeper portions of their beds. The
Kongo. however. the largest river in
Africa. rises and falls very slightly,
and Commander Cameron accounts for
this popularity. which was at one time
considered inexplicable. by the observa-
ton that the basin of this great river
extends on both sides Of the equator.
and therefore one moiety of its tribu-
taries are In food while the other are
ut their minimum volume.
