low of the Lord,

RAPID BUILDING OF NEW CITY
Port Sudan and Tsingtao illustrates
Development in Making of
Towns.

Port Sudan.-As compared with the
normal process by which towns come
into being, their development proceed
ing spontaneously and by slow stages,
it is interesting to note the occasional
deliberate construction of large sea-
ports and other towns, complete and
ready for occupancy in a few years
time, the motive being sometimes po-
litical and some times commercial.
We have recently referred in these
columns to the remarkable develop
ment of Port Sudan, founded a few
years ago by the British authorities
on the west coast of the Red sea, says
the Scientific American. A similar
undertaking, though with different
aims, was the building of the German
seaport of Tsingtao, China, a city
notable, among other things, for the
fact that no American atlas maker
discovered its existence until ten
years after its foundation.
In contrast to these successful ex-
periments in city building we learn
that the port OF Heungchow, which
was laid out in the spring of 1909 on
the shore of Yehli bay, ten miles by
water from Macao harbor, China, has
by no means realized the hope of its
creators that 1t would speedily be-
conse 3 formidable rival to the neigh
Scsing ports of Macao and Hongkong.
It was built on up to cate lines, with
telephones, water works, electric
light, tramways, etc, but 1t has not
succeeded in attracting trade, and its
present population is only 1000.

MANY SEEK FLOWER
EdeIWeiSS Grows Only on Sides of
Mountain.
Blossom Is Responsible for Deaths Of
Many Climbers Every Year-Legend
of the Coveted Posy Is
Told.

Lucerne.-When the warm spring
sun kisses the rugged slopes Of the
Alps the snow will gradually disap-
pear. In the hooks and crannies OF
the rocks here and there will appear
the shoots of a tiny plant. 1t will
push its soft, velvety stems upward a
few inches. Upon these fragile stalks
later will appear dense clusters Of
white fowers-so white that they al
most appear greenish in their purity
OF color. The heads of the flowers are
covered with a feecy substance, soft
as down to the touch.
This modest little blossom is the
edelweiss.
Every summer season intrepid noun
taineers give up their lives to gather
the edelweiss. 1t is precious because
it is rare. 1t is desirable because it
is difficult to obtain. For the edeI-
weiss grows generally in the most in
accessible places. 1t nestles in the
steep sides of the precipice and the
chasm. Invigorated by the mountain
air,f intoxicated by the scenery. the
climber beholds the blossom in it's
dangerous %crevice. He determines to
make his way to it and bear it away
with him. Sometimes he succeeds in
the quest, only to fail as he attempts
to return. A loose stone that he has
trusted as a foothold slips away. His
hands are flung out to save himself.
There is nothing secure to cling to.
The end is deep down in the ravine
below. The edelweiss has lured an
other to death because OF his covetous-
ness.
In a certain legend the edelweiss
noble white) is related to heaven,
near which it grows. An angel, weary
ing Of her celestial home, Ionged once
more TO taste the bitterness Of earth.
She received permission to appear in
the flesh again, but she found her
self unprepared to mingle again with
a world where her eyes beheld crime,
sickness, poverty, oppression, misfor-
tune and discomfort. So she chose a
home for herself high up in the Swiss
Alps. There she could look about up
on the world and yet dwell apart from

WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WRONG

Just to leave your work and your
worries-your dishes in the sink,
your beds unmade, your marketing un-
done, and, If need be, your doors I'M
locked-and go forth into the great
outside world, is to run with eager
feet toward peace. 1t is good to go
and see a friend and talk 1t over; but
1t Is better to go out under the sky
and forget it. Let the unhurried world
OF nature preach to you Of steadfast
peace and growth under ~unceasing
change. Let the big, empty sky re-
place the cobwebbed ceiling Of your
~house-bound consciousness, food the
dark places with wholesome sunshine.
When you go back to your dishes
they will almost wash themselves, for
all the good fairies out-of-doors will
come home with you and lend a will
ing hand to your work.
Try Some Changes In Potato Cook.
ery.-We should all be as ambitious
as the gentleman who was told that
there were over two hundred ways
Of cooking potatoes. He replied by
saying: Il am going to learn them
all. I already know two"
Buttered Potatoes.-Cut potatoes
into eighths or quarters and parboil,
drain and finish cooking in butter,
turning often to give them an even
brown. Add salt and cayenne for sea-
soning. They may be baked in a pa
per bag and are hard to equal for
flavor, cooked in that way.
Reilly Potatoes.-Have ready n
quart Of cold cooked potatoes cut in
pieces the size Of small beans. Put
the potatoes into a hot skillet with
three tablespoonfuls of fat in which
a small onion and three green pep
pers have been cooked. Add a cup
Of thick tomato, sifted. Season with
salt and pepper and cook until dry.
Serve with fish or cold meat.
Sugar Potatoes.-Parboil and cut in
fourth-inch slices good sweet pota-
toes. Simmer for IN hour or more IN
a strip made with a. cup Of white
sugar, a fourth Of a cup of water and
a teaspoonful Of butter. Basic the
slices and let the strip cook away be-
