THE SCOTS IN ULSTER.
Sturdy Race That Sent Valuable
Colonists to America.

Letter to the New York Sun.
Mr.. James Rogers was right when he
said in his letter to the Sun that the
Protestants of the north of Ireland are
Celtic and not Teutonic. Prior to the
union Q6O3) large numbers of Scots had
found in the north of Ireland a home
where there was greater scope for agri-
culture than the soil of their own land
afforded; SO when James vi of Scotland
Games I of England) offered facilities
for the settlement of Ulster thousands of
Scots awaited themselves Of the chance,
and by their energy helped to transform
that district into the garden Of Ireland.
At the present day there may still be
heard in Down and Armagh Scotch words
and idioms that are now rarely II ever
heard in the land from which they came,
and the frequent designation of Belfast
as a second Glasgow emphasizes the ex-
tent to which that city has owed its
prosperity to its Scottish settlers. and to
it's close association with southwestern
Scotland.
In 1882 the Church of Scotland scored a
triumph by an act of parliament which
formally abolished Episcopacy and estab-
lished Presbyteria nism. Andrew Melville
at this time reminded James, who had not
then succeeded to the throne of England
that there were two kings in Scotland,
and that he, james. as king of the COM
monwealth, was subject to Christ, the
king of the church. Those who settled in
Ulster followed John Knox, Patrick
Hamilton, George Buchanan, John MAR.
David Straiton and Norman Gourlay. and
to them we are indebted for such men as
Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk (Pol-
lock-, James Buchanan, John c. Calhoun,
Chester A. Arthur, T. A. Hendricks,
Horace Greeley, C. D. McCutcheon.
Andrew Jay Mcbride, James G. Blaine,
Charles Foster, Samuel II. Grey, Robert
Fulton and many other eminent men of
America, all Scotch-Irish and almost as
Scotch as the Scotch themselves.
Mr. Gladstone. a ScotchEan and the
greatest British statesman Of the nine
tenth century. in his second attempt to
conciliate Ireland snapped the link which
bound the great parliamentarian to pub
lie life. The issue of the elections was
bitterly disappointing to the Gladstonian
party, and lost to them many of their
most influential members.
Had the alien Scottish and English ele-
ment Of northern Ireland at the time Of
the union and the English element farther
south not kept SO much aloof from the
native strain we would have today an
ireland Ieavened throughout by Scottish
industry and English loyalty, instead of
two violently contrasted elements of
population giving rise to that persistent
Irish question which has SO long been
and will continue to be the despair of
politicians.

ARCHITECTURAL ODDITIES.
Novel Collection Of Buildings in an
English Town. 49,.

rrOm tne LONDON News.
The village of Brightling fabout nine
miles inland from Hastings) possesses
probably the most novel collection oil
strange buildings in England. About

Ter. the chief resident, who was possessed
Of great riches, spent money lavishly in
the erection of numerous quaint build

Squire Fuller's eccentricity earned him
the sobriquet of Mad Jack" Perhaps
the most remarkable of the buildings Is
the sugar loaf house, In which the Mad
Squire was anxious to immune a man
for seven years-during which time the
victim was neither to shave wash nor
hold any communication with the outer
world. His food was to be passed in
through q window. There We're several
candidates for the experiment. but the
authorities interfered and forbade the ex-
ecution of the wild scheme. The obser-
vatory contains in the dome a camera
obscura, which the squire placed there So
that his tenants could keep observation
on their cattle without going into the
fields. Cleopatra's Needle, built of local
sandstone, stands at an altitude of 800
feet above the sea, and it's base is COW

"Solomon's Temple built in the style Of
an eastern mosque, with massive marble
pillars, was used by Mad Jack as a
card room. The squires tomb, built t.
resemble the Pyramids, has a beautifully,
decorated interior and bears carved
quotations from the squire's favorite au-
thors. The squire's coffin was placed on
a stone trestle above ground and the

Imagination and Science.
FROM Casters Magazine.


Men OF science, your faculties are weak
ened by the very exactitude which is
your pride. You measure and weigh, and
you are surrounded and overwhelmed
by the limitations imposed by the expert
ences of your senses You seek causes
upon observing effects, or determine the
effects resulting from given causes; but
such analyses do not lead you into the
realm Of imagination. You are too ma
terial. If you had been Newton, upon
observing the apple fall. you would have
thought, THE reason why it fell was be-
cause its stem became too weak to hold
it," Newton, however, had an magma
ton, and thereby he discovered the law
of gravitation. Columbus did not care
to prove simply that the earth was
round. His imagination fired him with
knowledge of benefits to mankind re-
sulting from possible (and, as 1t turned
out, chimericaD northwest passage due
to such roundness. His imagination In
spired the discovery of a continent. And
so it is with name after name in history.
and so it will be with you and me. We
may achieve some small measure of sue
cess by doing what our fathers did be-
fore us. but our really big deeds will be
offspring of our imaginations. Sometimes
we see inventions accomplished by chance
or a benefit opened to mankind by a
stumbling footstep. Such are rare. and
shiftless we should be did We count upon
circumstances for success.

Historic House to Be Sold.

From the Boston Post.
The old Salem custom house, which for
nearly century has held the history of
the early Salem folk, and is dear to the
hearts Of the people as the familiar
haunt Of Nathaniel Hawthorne. is in
danger Of being sold by public auction
and possibly destroyed In a spirit of
commercialism
Representative Gardner has introduced
a bill for the erection of a new custom
house, and as the government will not
support two custom houses the old one
will be offered for sale.
The custom house was built in 1919. and
stands on the site of the old Crownin-
shield estate. Into it's construction are
worked rare states shipped from Wales,
and fiagstones from Pottsdam, n. Y.
On the top of the building is a tower
from which the officials were in the habit
of watching for vessels approaching the
harbor when Salem was great port. In
this building are stored the Salem rec
ords dealing with the earlier history of
the colonies and the ''witchcraft'' records.

Unexplored Arabia.
From the Westminster Gazette.

The announcement that the Royal Geo.
graphical Society of Copenhagen is fitting
out an expedition to explore "the coun-
tries round the Persian gulf will sur
prise many who imagine that there is
little of the earth outside the polar re-
gions which now needs exploring. AS a
matter of fact, the interior of the great
Arabian peninsula is still waiting to be
discovered, and not even the poles offer
such almost insurmountable obstacles to
those who seek them as the unknown
land lying around the Persian gulf. Some
portions are doubtless as void of human
beings as the frozen apexes of the earth.
and will probably always remain SO, for
the heat experienced there Is fatal to
almost every kind OF life.
