4 STRENUOUS TINE
FOR ADMIRAL TOGO
Japanese Hero Put in Some
Very Busy Hours at the
National Capital.
National News Association


| WASHINGTON. Aug. S.-Admiral
Togo's program today was a strenuous
one. Ever since the japanese hero ar
rived in Washington he has been on
the jump. and today was no exception.
In the morning the admiral accompan-
led by Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Winthrop and Captain T. NJ.
Potts. U. S. ~, and his personal suite,
visited the Washington navy yard.
There the admiral saw big naval guns
being given their finishing touches.
The marine corps turned out and pre-
scented arms, while the naval band
played the national airs of the United
States and Japan. The sea fighter
showed great interest in everything
connected with the yards. On the way
back to the hotel the party paid fly
ing visit to the national library. where
Admiral Togo admired the magnifi-
cent decoration. of the main reading
room and the gorgeous mural paint
ings in the entrance hall.
A luncheon in the Admirars honor
WAS given by Huntington Wilson. as
sistant secretary of state after the re-
turn from the navy yard. The party
then went to the Arlington National
cemetery to visit the tomb of Admiral
Farragut. Admiral Togo was then es
corted to Rock Creek cemetery where
he placed flowers on the grave of Mat.
sua, a personal friend who died while
a midshipman at the United States
naval academy. Tonight the admiral
will be the guest Of the secretary OF
the navy at dinner. After the din.
ner a reception will be rendered by
the Army and Navy club.

Mexico Has Some Of tho Most Perfect
Of These Peaceful Pools.
The mere words ''crater lake" carry
with them charm and mystery that
are akin to romance. But Mexico,
with all her romance, has never given
abroad any description Of some OF the
most beautiful crater lakes in the
world. Vale de Santiago, a little
town Of the state Of Guanajuato,
boasts four of the most perfect apd
beautiful of such lakes.
The village nestles among eleven
craters. all formed in some past age by
sudden explosions from the interior OF
the earth. explosions that blew out a
great amount of earth. formed low
cones and subsidized without flow OF
lava or other demonstration than the
single explosion. They are what are
known to science as explosion era

The calm restfulness Of the crater
lake is unlike anything in the world.
One finds lakes and solitary pools in
forests or mountain Businesses. and
the calm there is akin to witchery.
but they are stirred sometimes by
passing breezes, and the trees will
wave above in the wind. But in a
crater lake there is not a breath that
will stir 1t, and even stone cast into
its bosom creates ripples that seem as
though they would be swallowed ere
they are born. Peace is word with
out a meaning until one lies silent on
the slope of such a crater. with such
lake at his feet.-Mexican Herald.

The Conductors Baton.

According to the investigations of a
Frenchman, the credit Of inventing the
conductors baton belongs to Lully. the
composer. who eventually had cause to
regret his invention. Before he adopt
ed the baton conductors were in the
habit of pounding on the floor with
their feet or clapping their hands to
mark the time. Lully found it weari-
some to keep his foot constantly in mo-
ton and so used stick to strike the
floor and beat time. He used a pole
six feet long. One day he brought
down the pole with such force that it
struck his foot and made a deep
wound. He paid no attention to the
matter. The wound grew worse and
ultimately caused his death. After
his time conductors tried more and
more to improve the baton, and it was
ultimately brought to its present form
