It. The angel soul OF the visitor IL
iumined her face and transtigured her
form to one OF slender. bewitching
beauty.
Comes one day climber. more dar-
ing than others before him. The Icy
fastness where she hides her lowell
ness is invaded by him. Having been
seen by him her retreat soon is in
vaded by many men eager to behold
her and, from the thrill OF beholding
her, doomed to love her hopelessIy.
She is kind, but cold to all. Unable
to endure the sight OF one so beauti-
full and still not possess her. her ad-
mirers join in a prayer to heaven.
They ask that since they may not
claim her for their own they may at
least be spared the sight OF one SO
lovely. The prayer is answered. The
angel is taken back to heaven. She
leaves behind her human heart in the
edelweiss as a memento OF her earth
ly residence. 4
And SO from an object OF, love itself.
the edelweiss has come to be the
symbol OF love. The Swiss maiden to
whom some swain mas brought the
edelweiss knows that he has risked
his life to gather the tiny blossoms for
her. Receiving them. she under
stands, because the mute appeal OF
the edelweiss is stronger than words.

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 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 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, 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 ITOIH MdCdo hdi Ooi, Shiud h0S
by no means realized the hope Of its
creators that It would speedily be-
come formidable rival to the neigh
boring 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.

for many reasons. You have been
devoted to me and believe in me; you
are strong and handsome and have an
alert mind. But to make our life-
long happiness assured you must lift
us above the sordid vexations of the
world. We are both hopeful and am
bilious, and / doubt II we could be
content should we have to give up our
ideals for commonplaces. do not
say that / should not love you In ad-
versity. but abhor 1t and I know that
our lives would be greatly marred II
you had to slave for me and l had to
cook for you. am speaking frankly
to you as my prospective husband.
For our mutual happiness you must
win"
The realization of all this had rid
den me like an old man of the sea
from almost the beginning Of my ac-
quaintance with her. and 1t was be-
cause of its realization that l had
