An EMgy Memorial.

THERE is effigy memorial under the
boughs of the Arlington oaks. 1t is
a tomb that holds the solemn attention
of many pilgrims. One recalls that on
many tomb in the abbeys and the
churches of the old world reposes a
sculptured image of the dead. In that

as the sepulchre of kings, one sees, rest

Monument Is CHALLENGED.

THE Washington Monument as the
dominant note in the Washington sky
is challenged by the wireless towers on
the Arlington hills. The highest Of these
towers. with its stone piers 200 feet above
the Potomac and its iron tin 800 feet
above the hills, overlooks a vaster view
than can be had from the windows of
the great white shaft The two 4JD-f foot
towers also overtop it,
For a long time, looked at from a dis
tance. Washington has been marked by
the Monument. and from a less distanc.
by the dome of the Capitol and the tower
of the post office building. The square
brick chimney of the main building of the
Government Hospital for the Insane and
have been constant and conspicuous
against the Washington skyline. Now il
is the aerial towers at Arlington that one
sees. Coming toward Washington from
the outer regions Of Maryland and Vir-
gina, IL is the first work of man pointing
out the site of the city which comes into
the view. Leaving Washington, 1t is the
last of the capitals landmarks that one
sees.
Already these towers have become a fa-
miar part of the landscape, and Wash
ngtonians homeward bound over the long
country roads or the river have formed
the habit of saying There are the tow
ers' whereas few months ago they said
'"raere is the Monument" 1t would be
interesting TO know at what distance from
Washington and at what points in Vir-
ginia and Maryland the tallest of these
towers is visible.

concession. The Germans refused on the
ground that they did not want American
machinery to come into competition with
the German electrical machinery. The
electrical field here is now in the hands
of the Siemans- Holskie Company, and
the Westinghouse and General Electric
companies of the United States will find
it hard to get foothold. The capital is
lighted by waterpower from the falls of
the River Michitoya. the insulation
consisting of four turbines, operated by
a tiume 600 feet long. The works have
cost about million dollars in gold.
And Just here l would say that Amer
lean interests have been greatly bene-
fitted by the visit of Secretary Knox to
Guatemala, but also of Costa Rica and
Salvador, and to some extent of Mica
ragua. I first met the Secretary in Costa
Rca and | something of him also
during his stay here in Guatemala. He
was treated like d king by all the repub-
lies. When he landed in Costa Rica the
governor of Port Limon was at the wharf
and special train was ready to carry
him to the capital. There We're signs of
welcome at every station, and the Costa
Rican flag and that of the United States
waved side by side everywhere. At San
Jose, Mr.. Knox was given grand dinner
in the foyer of the four -million-d dollar
theater. and that night the seats Were
taken out of the orchestra and the stage
raised to give a ball IN his honor.
The Secretary was treated with great
respect in Nicaragua and the same was
true of Salvador. He was not able to
go to Honduras, but that country made
great preparations for him. The officials
expected to bring him from Amapala,
their port on the Pacific, over the noun
tains to Tegucigalpa, the capital, which

At present, coffee is the chief money
crop of the republic. The harvest amounts
to from sO.O0OO0O to 100,O0o00 pounds
every year, and the coffee is so good that

who are gobbing Zip the best lands, and
the best business of all kinds in this part
of the world.

OF them have bought their property dur
ing the hard times Of the past and others
have married the daughters of rich
Guatemalans. The Germans learn the
language soon as they enter the
country. and many of them settle down
and do not leave until they have made
fortunes. They are more farseeins than
the Americans. and they are laying their
plans to monopoize the republic.
Here at the capital the Germans are
close corporation. They have their
own club, and they do everything they
can for Germany. Not long ago some
Americans got concessions for electric
railroads here in Guatemala City. They
thought their rights were exclusive, but
they found that the Germans, who owned
the electric light plant, had some rights
also as to railroads. The Americans then
tried to buy the light plant and, failing
that, to get the balance of the railroad

great attraction for the soldiers of the

they lounge by the lakeside in great num-
ber. They meet there to chat fish, smoke

of this is the biggest relief map of the
world
This relief map covers several acres
and by climbing the platform at the side
of it we can see Guatemala in miniature.
The map is made Of cement, plaster ana
other materials which the weather has
turned to stone. 1t is connected with the
water works. and as we look the man in
charge turns a crank and real mountain
water begins to flow through the minia-
ture rivers and fill the lakes. On one
side we can see the waves of the Carib-
bean sea- now great eXpanse of silver,
and on the other the waters of. a little
Pacific ocean dash upon the shores. All
of the ports are marked by landing piers
and strips of steel wind their way over
the country, representing the railroads.
Along the Pacific slope you can see the
preaching completion, and which, as soon
Mexico is quiet, will give us an iron
track from here to New York. You can
see the new lines building down toward
Salvador and those which cross the
mountains from coast to coast.
This map shows us the exact nature of
the country. With the exception of two
strips of lowlands lining the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans. it is all mountains
and valleys. 1t has scenery which is
equal to that of Switzerland, and the
beauty about it is that it is green all
the year round. 1t is largely volcanic.
Guatemala has twenty-eight volcanoes.
ranging in height from the mountains of
the Alieghenies to those of the Rockies,
and some of these volcanoes are still in
eruption. Right here in Guatemala City,
which is almost as high as Denver, l can
see vapor rising from the Volcano de
Aqua, and last night there was fire all
along its south slope. Many of the
strangers here thought the mountain was
in eruption. but We afterward discovered
it was only forest fires which had sprung
up in the woods. The most of the VOL

The Story Of q Wall.

A HIGH wall incloses the main grounds
and the central group of buildings of
the Government Hospital for the Insane.
1t is a wall that has been looked at with
every emotion of the mind. From the in
side it has been looked on with hate as
prison pale, and with love as the
bounds of a good home. Often from the
outside il has been looked on with dread.
A long story could be written about this
wall.
1t is an old wall. partly veiled in sum-
mer with the foliage of the Ampelopsis
veitchi There is one large measure of
the wall worthy of more than glance.
1t Is built of native ironstone, or pud-
dngstone, or conglomerate. 1t is fu.l of
reds and browns and yellows and white
in uncountable variations of pattern and
hue. To tell the story of this wall it is
proper 10 go back to the beginnings OF
the institution.
In the report of DR.. c. IL. Nichols. the
first superintendent. to Robert McClel-
land, Secretary of the Interior, October
l. 1856, DR.. Nichols wrote:
Il beg leave to call your attention TO
the Importance of surrounding the hos

Looking at the map below us. We see
that one of the mountains is half blown

ago and destroyed many villages, COW
ering the country with volcanic ashes.
Farther over YOU may see Pacaya, which
has had a half dozen eruptions since the
Spaniards came
Some of the lakes of Guatemala are
wonderfully beautiful. Lake Atitlan,
which is on the west slope, is an I'M
mense sheet of blue, with five volcanoes
surrounding it. and Amatitlan. which Is
an hour or SO by rail from the capital
is in sight of Volcano de Aqua, and Is
as beautiful as any lake in Switzerland.
Both of these lakes are great resorts
and in the future they may be winter
homes for the United States. Lake
Atitlan has eighteen islands and the ma
tive Indians will row you about from
place to pace. Its waters have no large
fish, and the story goes that this came from
their being cursed by the priests because
the people of the capital got their nsh
from there and made the Indian slaves
do the fishing. Another wonderful lake
is that of YZobel on the Atlantic side or
IHe country. II Is iedHS ttil ann VI e'~
seas which flows through rough can
yon with a valley and there spreads out
in wide sheet of silver.
And then there is sulphur lake in the
Tecuamburro volcano, which is 1.2O0 feet
in diameter. 1t lies right in the crater
and its straw-colored waters bubble forth
sufphurous gases. This lake Is like the
Dead sea in that it has no fish, and not
far from it is little geySer called the
Well of Death, which is said to kill birds,
reptiles or anything that passes which
breathes its fumes. l heard of similar
geyser during my stay in Central Africa,
and was shown photographs of deer
which had been killed by it.
But these are only few # the Won
ders of Guatemala. The whole country
is one of mountains and valleys; of great
canyons and stalactite caves. 1t has one
waterfall 7co feet high, and hot springs
which remind me of the Yellowstone.
There is a volcanic lake surrounded by
basalt cliffs 100 feet tall, and the surface

The Geographic Names.

THE religious feeling of the early set
tiers IN Maryland is given evidence
of in geographic names in that part OF
the state south and east of Washington.
Rivers, islands. bays, creeks and head
lands which show the trend OF pious
thought of the early comers to that beau
tiful and fruitful region. No doubt the
list given could be considerably length
ened should anybody be sufficiently in
terested to prosecute the subject.
To begin with. there are St Marys coun-
ty, the st. Mary's river and the city Of
st. Mary OF the city no vestige remains.
but it's site has been accurately deter
mined and beautiful monument has been
erected there: besides, the foundation lines
of the first capitol or house of burgesses
have been outlined with granite markers.
Then there is ST. Inigoes. which is the
name of civil subdivision of the county
of ST Mary of a settlement, of creek
and of church. Many Washingtonians
annually visit st. Georges Island and ST.
Georges creek, and st. Jerome point on
St Jerome creek is one of the landmarks
along the river. There is Priests point.
