NE mile south OF the District
boundary and a mile and three
quarters west of Alexandria on
the highland east of the river
there is a wide and deep depres-
sion in the earth The sink is irregular in
shape, and the edges have been washed
till they have slipped down into the
craterlike excavation. Long erosion has
left its mark there The sides are scored
by numerous gullies, and the bottom OF
the pit is lumpy with large mounds that
have been washed from the sides and de-
posted there by countless storms and
wears The earth that is exposed In this
hole is light gray thickly topped with
gravel and broken bits of quartz Where
enough of the top soil has been carried
down by the rains and deposited at OF
near the bottom, srunted vegetation sinai
sassafras trees, wild cherry, brambles and
elder maintain themselves, but not pros

is perhaps an acre in extent and aDou,
thirty feet deep, but 1t is plain that once
il was deeper and not of such great area

A public road. one over when consio-
cradle traffic passes, runs along the east

slipped into the depression. There is stu
a narrow margin of fertile land between
the road and pit, and along this in sum-
mer grows a luxuriant tangle of vines ana
shrubs which serve to screen the gray
sink from the eyes of travellers.
The older people of the neighoorhooo
have received from their forebears, and
in turn are transmitting to their chill
dren, an interesting legend concerning
this pit 1t Is that the Indians who
lived around there until the early years
of the eighteenth century obtained their
pipe clay from this place. The extent
of the excavation is explained by the be-
lief that for unnumbered ages before the
coming of Europeans pipe clay was OBJ
tanned here and dispensed not only amons
the neighborhood Indians. but among al
the other tribes of the Potomac and Pa
tuxent region. And this may be true.
However, there Is another explanation,
plausible though prosaic. 1t Is this a
few hundred yards west of the pit and on
the brow of the ridge there is matted

trees Thousands stroll through the
grounds in summer with no other con-
sideration of the trees than of the shade
they give. In winter the common OBJ
servation runs something like this: How
bare and desolate the trees look
There are great many interesting
stories in the trees of the Capitol grounds
if one cares to Iinger and engage in con
versation one of the old gardeners whom
one sees clearing up the fallen leaves or
watering the lawn and shrubbery in time
of heat and drought.
The custom of setting out memorial
trees has come into vogue at the Capitol.
This was an early custom IN the National
Botanic Garden. In the Capitol grounds
recently have been set out saplings by
Vice President Sherman, Speaker Clark,
Representative Mann. Senator Lodge.
Senator Gallinger, Senator Bacon, Sena-
tor Wetmore and others.
There is a little oak named Joe Cannon
lately planted in the grounds. but which
is not yet officially memorial tree. The
planting Of these memorial trees does not
involve very much work for the states
men honored. The hole is dug by the out
side workers of the Capitol. the sapling
is set, the earth filled in around the roots
and when the time for the ceremony
comes the member of Congress merely
throws a shovelful of dirt at the base
of the tree. Mr.. Cannon has not yet
thus treated the little oak that bears his
name Champ Clark's tree is a sugar
maple those Of Senators Gallinger. Lodge,
and Bacon are oaks and those of Vice
President Sherman and Senator Wetmore
are beeches.
The Capitol grounds have American
trees from all sections of the country.
There are elms. planes, iindens, sugar
naples. NAPLES of many other kinds,
willow oaks the Kentucky coffee tree.
the silver bell of the southern Atlantic
states. pignut trees. bays and bull bays.
cucumber trees. buckeyes, ash trees, the
Usage orange. the yellow wood of Ken
lucky and Tennessee and scores of other
varieties.
Among the foreign trees are numerous
specimens of sophora japonica-a fine
spreading tree with foliage resembling
that of the native black locust: the pau
lownia imperialis of Japan-the tree
with broad and pointed leaves with clus-
ters of purple flowers in the spring and
punches of black seed pods in the winter:
the cedrella sinensis of northern China.

acteristic iobate leaves; the koelreutarea

oft told story is that in most cases
it is not true. In the case OF a iarse

THE PAY OF EDUCATORS.
Government Issues Statistics on COL
Iess Heads and Tutors.


Iege Heads and Tutors.
Washington, March 13.-The range
of salaries for the heads and faculties
of state-aided institutions of higher
learning In this country is given In
bulletin Just issued for free distribu-
ton by the United States bureau Of
education. According to the bulletin the
paid head of any institution of this
class is the president of the University
Of California, who receives $4,000
year and house. The presidents of Il
linois University and Cornell Univer-
,sity each receive $4,000 year and
house, while the president of the Uni
versity of Minnesota gets $4,000 with
out house. From these figures. the
presidents salaries run down as low as
$4,000.
The salaries of the faculty members
range from $50 a year for the least
paid tutor to $4,000 year for the best
paid full professor, both extremes be-
ing touched at Cornell.
The bureau of education's bulletin
shows that the United States now con-
tains exactly one hundred universities
and other institutions of higher educa-
ton which depend in. considerable
measure on the state or federal gov
eminent for their support. or these
sixteen are agricultural and mechani-
cal colleges for negroes. Four of these
state aided institutions have more than
400 members on their faculties: name
ly, the University of California. with
faculty Of 421: the University of IL
linois, with $50: Cornell University,
with 652: and the University of Wis

ly-I trust you will not hesitate to
command me-" The judge backed
toward the door.
Did you walk out, Judge Price?"
asked Betty kindly.
Nothing more than q healthful ex-
ercise-but we will not detain you,
ma'em; the pleasure OF seeing you is
something we had not reckoned on!"
The judges speech wes thick and
unotuous with good feeling. He wished
that Mahaffy might have been there
to note the reserve and dignity of
his department
But you must lot me order lunch
con for you," said Betty. At least
this questionable old man was good
to Hannibal.
Il couldn't think OF It, ma'am-"
you'll have a glass OF wine, them"
urged Betty Hospitality. For the mo-
ment she had lost sight of what was
clearly the judges besetting sin.
The Judge paused abruptly. He en-
dured q moment Of agonizing irreso-
luton.

and uver-but this restriction does
not apply to corn whisky-in modera-
ton. and as tonic-either before
meals, Immediately after meals or at
any time between meals-always
keeping in mind the idea Of Its tonic
properties" The Judge seemed to
mellow and ripen. This was much
better than having the dogs sicked on
you! His manner toward Betty be-
came almost fatherly. Poor young
thing. so lonely and desolate in tho
midst of au this spiendor-he surrep-
titiously wiped away q tear, and when
little Steve presented himself and
was told to bring whisky, audibly
smacked his lips-a whole lot better.

She still retained the small brown
hand Hannibal had thrust INTO hers.

on reaching Belle Plain, he and Han
nibal were shown into the cool parlor
by little Steve. It was more years
than the judge cared to remember
since he had put his foot inside such
q house, but with true grandeur of
soul he rose to the OCCASION; .
sublimated dignity shone from every
battered feature. while he fixed little
Steve with SO flerca glance that the
grin froze on his lips.
You are to say that Judge Slocum
Price presents his compliments and
condolences to Miss Malroy-have

Steve, impressed alike by the Judges
air of condescension and his easy
flow Of words, signified that he had.
"You may also say that Judge Prices
ward. young Master Hazard, presents
his compliments and condolences"
What more the judge might have said
was interrupted by tne entrance of
Betty, herself.

bowed, then he advanced toward her

countenance he deemed suitable to
the occasion, and her extended hand

palms. He rolled his eyes heaven

that he has died-just as we were

cadence of the Judges speech fell
generously on the silence, and that
look of horror which had never quite
left Betty's eyes since they saw
Charley Norton fall, rose out of their
clear depths again. The Judge, in.
stantly stricken with a sense OF the
inadequacy OF his words, doubled on
his spiritual tracks. In a round

benevolence of expression.
