Lake Tourists.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Twelve million six hundred and one
Thousand seven. hundred and ninety-seven
passengers were carried on the great
lakes west Of Lake Erie in 1911, accord
ing to figures published by the federal
government. That Is roughly equal to
the total population Of the first dozen
cities in the United States. It indicates
the tremendous volume OF traffic carried
by the passenger vessels of the lakes.
Figures for Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
not yet available, will swell the total.
Yet the total for 1911 was smaller than
for 1910, owing perhaps to business con-
ditions which were slightly less favor
able to pleasure travel. The lakes need
advertising. Not enough tourists have
been introduced to the charms OF these
inland seas. The publicity agents have
doomed southern resorts and California
retreats and the inviting woods in Can
ada until the American people might al
most be excused for thinking that no va
cation is real unless 1t involves a south
|ern or far northern trip. Here on the
lakes is the finest Fairgrounds In Amer
lea. The 100000 people carried on the
lakes last year should be doubled. The
nation needs an introduction.

Mince Pies and College Girls.

From the New York World.
Mince pie has endured from generation
to generation and is not cast down. 1t
has suffered long from the attacks Of
critics for whom 1t is strong meat, but
1t still is kind to those who love 1t and
whom 1t loves. 1t gives and needs
strength. We note without dependence
the attempt In various New England col
leges for girls to give this delectable dish
q new bad name and hang it.
1T Is ruinous for the complexion" says
one preceptress. And another prates OF
technicalities Of digestion. But at good
old Wellesley they have mince three
times a year "for the girls who cannot
go home for the holidays" and there you
have the whole case for the libeled
pastry in q sentence. Mince pie is the
home pie. 1t spells Thanksgiving and
Christmas and a happy New Year and
back -to-the-farm and gOOd-for-the-old-
folks and all sorts Of things that keep to-
gether the families in which the nation
is great.
Compilations! Why, the country was
full Of them before any food critic drew
the hot air of life And 1t will be full
of them still when the last foe Of mince
pie falls under the crust that mother
makes. As for the girls colleges-well, if
the higher education is raising parcel
of daughters that cannot stand mince
pie, 1t surely is not bringing up a band
OF sisters entitled to the ballot.

Last DAYS of Fulton Market.
From the Chicago Post.

From the Chicago Post.
Fulton Market, which promptly sug-
gests clam chowder and fish to the
westerner who has absorbed eastern
names by reading. is to pass. New
York monuments are defiling in parade.
and before long the visitor will be in
dustrious who will find much more
than Trinity Church and the buryinG
ground to have a visible link with the
historic past
The market was built In 1921 under
the provisions Of an act to supply ''the
common people with the necessaries of
life at reasonable prices" II took the
place of an institution known as the
Fly" Market, fly" being q corruption
Of the Dutch word "v'lei valley; just
as the Bowery was the offshoot of the
BOoeri.
With an estimated real estate value
of 100000, Fulton Market has been
operated at an annual loss. and its ex
tfnction has been recommended by the
borough president and the city con-
troller Its patronage by the public
has fallen of materially and its con-
tinuance was not a matter OF cham
pionship This Is because neighbor-
hood changes have driven the small
householder and retail buyer up north
or a long way over In Brooklyn. Since
the opening of the great bridge and
the discontinuance of the Fulton ferry
the change has been inevitable, but
the market died slowly and with some
thing of the dignity of a famous insti-
tuition.

WONDERS OF THE DEAD SEA.
Exploration by Member of American
Colony in Jerusalem.

Tue deOGrdpnlCdl JOuf04l.
An interesting trip around the Dead
sea was made in a motor boat by Jacob
E. Spafford. 8 member of the American
colony in Jerusalem.
In circumnavigating the lake four or
five very fertile plains or ghors were
met with. These palms." writes Mr..
Spafford. naturally bring to mind the
connection of the Dead sea with Sodom
and Gomorrah. the cities of the plain,
that were overthrown. They have been
variously placed on every side of the
sea.
These plains and the small oasis at
Engedi are the only points where life OF
any kind and water are to be found.
Engedi. our first stopping place. is the
only spot on the west side where fresh
water is to be had. This evidently was
little paradise in the time of solomon
and Is frequently mentioned in the Old
Testament.
1.-THE cliffs on the west side Of the sea
which form an almost unbroken wall,
excepting for the rugged torrent beds.
and which vary from 300 to 1000 feet in
height, are all of limestone. whereas
on the east side Of the lake the forma-
ton Is entirely sandstone of exquisite
hues. The abundance of water on this
side as compared with the other is very
striking, too.
About ten miles from Engedi lies the
peerless natural fortress of Masada
(Sebbeh). first fortified by the Macca-
bees. then used as place of refuge by
Herod At the foot Of the tableland can
be seen the Roman wall of circumvalla-
ton and the two Roman camps on either
side of the small ravine.
The fortress which is ], 100 feet above
the sea. has steep sides at about an
angle of seventy five degrees and cannot
be approached, except from a connecting
neck called the Serpentine. A more in
hospitable place or one more disadvan-
tageous to besiegers could not be mag
ined.
Eight miles away is Jebel Usdum. a
mountain of rock salt rising to a height of
500 feet. In this mountain is a large
cave which was explored to the extent
of about 200 yards. at which point a
tapering cylindrical shaft of about twen-
ty feet in diameter was discovered
piercing the solid rock salt eighty feet
high. as though through polished marble,
evidently the effects of the rain.
Great snow white stalactites hung
from the ceiling. The approach to this
mountain presents most fantastic appear
ances Of walls, butteresses. parapeta
projecting towers, etc, caused by the
qualification and lay Of the salt bould-
ers.
IA little south Of Masada lies the rich
Ghor-el-Mizra- Here and elsewhere
abound the apple of SodOm described by
Josephus."

THE ST. AGNES LIGHT.
Passing Of a Famous Old Beacon Of
the British Coast.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
One of the oldest and most famous
lighthouses in the world Is to disappear.
According to an official Notice to mari
Agnes light. Scilly. is to be replaced by a
light on Peninis Head, ST. Mary. For
Centuries 1t has gladdened the eyes of
passengers from the other side of the
Atlantic or has blinked a parting to emf
grants.
1t stands inland on the highest ground
In the island Of st. Agnes, and the first
light was lit on the spot as long ago as
1880. Coal was the only illuminant. and
the light was often allowed to go out. But
in 1880 oil lamps and refiectors were in
stalled. and flashes of the present one
minute revolving light can be seen at dis
tance of thirty miles.
Probably one of the chief motives which
prompted the placing of a guiding light
on the island was the reputation which
st. Agnes bore for wrecking in the old
days. Many a ship was lured on the rocks
by false lights and tradition was pre-
served among seamen for many years
afterward.
1t is stated that almost within living
memory a crew who were shipwrecked
on the island kept their would-be res
that they would be massacred and could
be approached only when they dropped
helpless from hunger and exhaustion.
The most famous of many wrecks on
the Settles occurred In Port Heiilck Gay
near the site of the new st. Mary's light
1t was here that Admiral Sir Cloudesley
Shovel, with four men Of war and many
hundreds of sailors, was lost in 11O7.
while returning from the capture OF Glib
raitar. It Is stated that sailor warned
the admiral, to whom there is q much
abused monument In Westminster Abbey
OF his danger, and that he was promptly
hanged at the yardarm for insubordina-
ton. On another occasion ship turned
turtle and was driven into the bay.
Sounds were heard from the upturned
hull and when an opening was cut I'm the
hull a number of the crew were found
alive within. 49,
The new light will be semiwatched, and
will be exhibited from g. circular iron
tower which will be painted white and
will be forty.five feet IN height.
