Peacock Throne of Persia.

The throne, itself, which now graces the audience hall of the Persian Sha- han-Shah, or King of Kings" is a magnificent work of art, sumptuous in the extreme. It is a jeweled platform, sometimes compared to a field bed, " about four feet high and five feet by eight feet in area, resting on six mas sive legs, with four additional sup ports, and mounted by a double step. A heavy railing, decorated with metal knobs and f1nials, emboxes the rug bedecked seat, and rises at the rear to form an elevated back, against which the shah sits in Oriental fash ion, supported by a bolster-cushion and surrounded by pillows. The rich incrustations of jewels, the highly or nate character of the lacquer work, and the delicacy of the traceries and arabesque designs impart to the throne an exquisiteness of finish and beauty that is quite its own.-FTom Constantinople to Persia, by A. v. w.

Another architectural faIlacy has exploded. Prof Charles Knapp of Columbia university, who lectured be- fore the San Francisco Archaeological society on the subject of "The Roman Theater," summoned the temerity to declare before his audience that the Greek theater at Berkeley isn't a Greek theater at all. Professor Knapp even denied the structure the right to claim to be Roman

For in- stance: In the larger cities profes- sional fire fighters sleep in the build Ings where their fire engines and oth- er appliances are kept All night long the fire gong may be ringing. denot- Ing that blazes have sprung up in other parts of the town, but only one sort of ring warns the firemen that It is their time to be up and doing Through all the other clangings of the bell they sleep comfortably; yet as soon as the number of rings strike that denotes that a fire is raging in their district the firemen instantly arouse by force of habit While half asleep they almost leap into their clothes and finally they rush to their regular places on the engine, the hose cart or the hook-and-ladder truck. Often they do not get thor oughly awake till they are in the street and racing toward the fire. but they have done right by force of habit

COLONY TO AID cfTYs POOR

Two thousand acres near Kutman, Ind, will be devoted to the Warren Springer colonization scheme for poor Chicago families with many children, according to the statement of Mrs. Margaret Springer, widow of the mil lionaire real estate man.

MADERo'S DIFFICULT TASK

Recent revolutionary outbreak in the Republic of Mexico, has again brought into the limelight Francisco Madero, and there Is some specula- tion in certain quarters regarding the presidents ability to handle the situa- ton. Madero is the strangest world figure alive today. He is brave but not a brilliant soldier. He is a quiet, modest gentleman and scholar, too nearly dreamer and a doctrinaire in patriotism for the thought of despotic rule or undeserved injury to any man ever to enter his mind. Gold lace and medals for himself he despies al- most as heartily as he does graft and selfish greed. There is not trace of the glitter that the Latin-American temperament loves about the man now so well beloved, whose pen pic ture we quote from Hampton's MagR zine:
 The Madero properties in Mexico are larger than several small Ameri- can states combined, and the elder
