.RUMOR Of AGREEMENT
FOR PEACE OF EUROPE
Naturalization of the AdriatiC,
Limitation of Armament.
Austria-Hungary's View.
'oreign Correspondence of The Star.

MILAN, November Is, 1910.
report is current in the Roman press
according to which a project is under
serious consideration between Italy and
Austria-Hungary for the naturalization OF
the Adriatic Count AehrenthaFs renewed
declaration. however, before the Austrian
delegation that while Austria Hungary
has renowned the dream of territorial ex-
pansion and earnestly desires the main
tenance Of the peace of Europe and that
of the status quo in the Balkans, she
nevertheless. intends to reinforce her
fighting forces on sea as we'll as on land,
ill accords with any such project.
Sentiment in Italy.
There is, however, in Italy at this mo-
ment an extraordinary agitation of pub
lie opinion in favor of a limitation Of
ornaments caused by the specter of the
appalling drain upon the relatively
meager resources of this country by the
new dreadnought program, which, If car
ried out, must retard for generations the
realization of a host of urgently needed
social reforms.
There seems to be also a sincere desire
among all political parties to arrive at
better understanding with Austria. Even
leaders of the socialist party are appeal
ing to deputies of the extreme left and
the rank and file to support on a strictly
non-partisan basis the earnest efforts now
being made to arrange for reciprocal
limitation of ornaments between two
members Of the triple alliance.

From the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
Mr.. Bridges Williams. who has been tn,
victim of a most unpleasant forgery. is
the nephew of Disraeli's fairy godmother.
In 1851 this lady wrote three times to
Disraeli begging him to meet her at the
exhibition, which had just been opened in
Hyde Park. At last he did 50. when she
presented him with a bank note for 9
thousand pounds as a contribution to his
election expenses. This was the begin
ming of close friendship. and both Dis
raeli and his wife visited Mrs. Williams
frequently at Mount Braddon, her house
in Devonshire. On her death. in 1853. she
left her political idol the whole of the
fortune she had inherited from her father,
Mendez da Costa, . wealthy Jewish finan-

An old landmark of Schuylkill county is
Browns mill, which has been grinding
corn since the year 1900, hence running

who has run the mill for the last fifty-one
years. When the mill was started this
section of the country was a part of
Berks county, for Schuylkill county was
not incorporated until 1911. John Adam

USE OF BOTH HANDS.
Ambidexterity, 1t. Is Claimed. De.
velops the Intelligence.
Berlin Correspondence London Standard.

Berlin Correspondence London Standard.
A movement has been started in Ger
many for the cultivation of ambideXter-
Nv. The idea is that developing the power
to use both hands equally well means de-
veloping the intelligence in general ana
the memory in particular
IT is said to have been scientifically as
certained that while right-handed people
have the organ of speech on the left size
of the brain. and vice versa. people VINO
are ambidextrous have two language
centers one in each lobe of the brain.
The infant begins life with two speech
centers but as the right hand is general
ly trained and the left neglected, the
right speech center gradually grows loi-
pid and useless.
The extraordinary claim is now made
that by the cultivation of the left mana
the capacity of the right speech center OF
the brain can be revived, and to that ex-
tent broaden the intelligence, as amb1deX-
terity increases the use of the human be-
ing's hand.
Instances are quoted by supporters of
the movement in which practicing the left
hand has rescued power OF speech un-
till then paralyZed. One patient in ques-
ton was stricken by paralysis of the left
organ of speech and with it paralysis of
the right hand. The doctors started
teaching the patient to write with the left
hand with the astonishing result that in
a short time the power of speech was
awakened in the hitherto torpid organ OF
speech.
An even more astonishing case was that
of boy who at the age of thirteen lost
his left hand. but soon learned TO do
fairly we'll with an artificial member. AT
| the age of thirty he suffered a stroke OF
paralysis, which robbed him of the pow.
err of speech, but by means of a small
ring with a pen attached to it fixed to the
artificial limb he could practice writing,
and thus not only recovered power over
his original speech, but over French and
Russian. which he had forgotten AS a
matter Of fact ambidexterfty is necessary
in several professions and occupations
of which surgery and piano playing may
be given as examples.

HAS PLAN TO IMPROVE
NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL
French Architect Would Have
Streets Near Famous
Structure Lowered.
oreign correspopdence of The Star.


PARIS, November is, 1910.
A municipal architect with rather
vaulting ambition wants to improve the
cathedral of Notre Dame According to
his scheme he does not propose to lay a
hand upon the building itself, but only
to improve and beautify the approaches
to it. His plan is based upon historical
fact. Every one has noticed that Notre
Dame looks as If 1T had sunk in the
ground. Other ancient churches give the
same impression. The fact is, of course,
that the ground has risen around the
buildings through the accumulation of
centuries of deposits.
For instance, it is certain that Notre
Dame stood originally many feet higher
above the streets around than nowadays.
and that a flight of steps led up to the
porch, which is now almost on a level
with the Place du Parvis. Notre Dame.
The general effect of the building. as the
sightseer approaches it. has evidently
thus been much altered since medieval
times.
The municipal architects idea is to re-
store the original appearance OF Notre
Dame by the simple process OF digging
down to the level at which the square
formerly lay. But the difficulty is that
the foundations Of the other buildings on
the square cannot be touched. The only
possible process. therefore, Is to dig a
square hole in the middle of the Place
du Parvis. This would be ''ornamentally
paved in the taste of the old Italian
palaces. and from this a new monumental
staircase would lead up to Notre Dame. -
The visitor approaching the cathedral
would, therefore, at all events while he
stood in the hole, obtain the same view
of the building as was presented in the
middle ages.
Danger in Scheme Seen.
The critic of architecture preceives a
threefold danger in this ambitious scheme
for improving Notre Dame. In the first
place, what would the effect be of a
square with a large hole in It? A famous
square in the ancient Italian town of
Siena is built like a cup, rising to the
sides from the center. but the descent
is not abrupt, as it would be in this case.
In the second place, one fights rather
shy of the attempts of the architect of
today to reproduce the Ornamental pave
ments of ancient Italian palaces" FL
nally one is also a little timid of modern
architects who would venture to build a
monumental staircase approaching Notre
Dame that would suit the style Of Notre
Dame, which it has long since been
beyond the power of architects to initiate
successfully.
