The story of the parent Glastonbury
thorn is that It sprung from the staff OF
Joseph of Arimathea, who cut this staff
from the Palestine thorn tree from which
the crown Of thorns was made. This was
the Joseph Of Arimathea who gave the
body Of Christ sepulcher in his vault or
tomb. When Joseph set out to carry the
true gospel to other regions he went to
Rome, and. driven thence. he journeyed
through Europe. but. in danger from
Nero's agents. he escaped into England.

Well. on this l-partridge-ruffed

THE name quail was applied orig

quail OF Europe-Coturnix-an the name
partridge to the non-migratory larger
bird of Europe-Perdix.
when the first settlers came to this
country those In New England found a
bird there, Bonasa umbelIus, which they
thought was like the European part
ridge and they called it the partridge
and 1t Is still SO known there.
1.-The settlers in the southern states
found a bird there Colinus virg:nianus,
which they also thought was like the
European Perdix and they called it the
partridge. and today more people know
it in the south by that name than py

Northern people wishing to distinguish
the two say that the southern bird,
Colinus virginianus, should be called the
quail since 1t is smaller than Bonasa
umbellus just as Coturnix is smaller than
Perdix. The southern people say the
name partridge belongs to their bird
Colinus and to distinguish the northern
bird Bonasa. they called it the ruffed

Arlington Amphitheater.

THE Rambler was lettering at the
amphitheater in Arlington on gray
and cloudy day. The oak leaves. turned
red and brown. were dropping gently
on the graves of brave men. Visitors
were few. Only here and there could
you see one or perhaps a couple OF
soldiers from Fort Myer or a small
group of pilgrims from some distant
city strolling along the sonnber ave-
nues or rapt with the enchantment Of
the view from the east crest Of the
heights.
The Rambler was thinking that per-
haps soon the old amphitheater. SO full
of good memories, would be destroyed
and replaced by a new building It is
proposition that has been promoted
for number of years and a propo-
sltion which soon will take on
form. Perhaps the present amphithea-
ter is rather a shabby bit of architec-
ture. but there is beauty In 1t. Giant
wisfaria vines cover the heavy open
timbered roof Of the rostrum and droop
IN dark green masses over the front,
rear and sides of the stand, where
much eloquence and music have poured
forth and whence great prayers have
gone to heaven. These vines have
their roots in the soil Of the unpayed
roStrum and their thick stalks StS~d
alongside the brick piers that sustain
the openwork roof.
The slender, somewhat seedy-looking,
brick piers that support the semi-cir-
cular pergola-if that is correct-are
partly concealed by wistaria and Eng
lish ivy, and these vines, together with
wild grape, grow over the roof tim
bers and form green draperies over the
rear and front Of the amphitheater. The
turf in the central body of the amphi-
theater is green and the terrace on
which the simple structure stands is
also green with grass. but under the
pergola shade of the vines and the feet
of men have worn away the sod and
exposed yellow gravelly clay.
This amphitheater was hastily built.

Glastonbury Thorn.

A L St Adams, in the close of the

grounds and passes through the ivy-mat-

persons not to have had prosperous or

knotty, and 1t has wrinkled look unbe-

What wonder that the venturesome
youngsters of the army who make up the
aviation branch Of the Signal Corps find
in him a sympathetic chief. The hot blood
of youth, that Graves excitement; the
new, the dangerous. the strange. has not
entirely cooled within him; but is merely
held in check, while the executive. the
organizer has grown up in him to mas
ter it.
To get military information and then to
communicate it where II is needed-that
has been his life work and his passion.
In aviation he sees a great, new fnstru-
ment for such purposes.

the Hawaiian Islands-which may or may
not indicate his tastes.
Another relief he has found from the
rigors of military life is in hunting. Alli-
gators, tap'rs, jaguars and the like he
fances rather than tanner game.
Out in the Philippines in the early days
of the American occupation, when he
was at Iloilo and ater when he was chief
signal officer at Manila, he was always
carrying his means Of communication
right UP to the point most needed. The
absence of telegraph or telephone instru-
ments. wires and batteries. never stumped
him. Between outlying islands he had
heliographs and night lights working Ions
before the fighting stopped. Tales of his
improvised signaling apparatus are pienti-
ful. He gives the credit to the men who
worked with him. Certain 1t is that he
had absolute loyalty on the part of his
subord;nates
AS chief signal officer of the army. his
duty is now to look after the maintenance
OF the telegraphs-wires, wireless and
cable--in the Philippines and Alaska: to
conduct all signal work In the army, and
also to handle aviation problems.

allowed. 1t has been demonstrated that
the flying machine carrying trained OBJ

air by military aviators. The practica-
bility of sending wireless messages from
aeroplanes has been proved, and an ex-

been worked out. The sending of mes
sapes from above by smoke rings and by
cards dropped through a chute has been
accomplished, and many improvements
made in the machines.

lined In August to the house committee on
military affairs which is now considering
the legislation necessary.
This pan. in brief. Is to establish
such center at Fort Sam Houston,
Texas. near San Antonio with later
subordinate centers at other points. san
Antonio happens to meet all the climatic.
atmospheric and Typographical require
ments OF such an establishment. and also,
here are stationed troops of nearly ali
branches of the service The government
owns the necessary ground.
AT this first center should be trained
the officers OF the army and organized
m:litia-for the scheme contemplates
of the regular army. 1t Is hoped that
the establishment OF the center will solve
all immediate questions in regard to prog
ress and methods of procedure for the
coming few years.
Fort Sam Houston besides containing
the school, should be the station OF an
aviation squadron of eight aeroplanes,
with necessary tractors, motors and equip.
ment the whole organization ready ae
any moment to take the field with troops.
Furthermore, It is presumed that as ofn-
GERS are trained and given experience.
other aero squadrons will be established
and an aerop.ane platoon or company
sent to each divisional headquarters or
within divisional territory for service
with divisions OF the mobile army in the
United States. Hawaii, the Philippines and
the Canal Zone. In other words. the San
Antonio center and central school Will
become the great supply and training
station for this new service.
Training In the use Of the dirigibie
should be part of the work at the center.
The plans Of which l have spoken carry
a suggestion that two dirigibles be ac-
ouired, probably of the non-rigid type.
The balloons desired are 21S feet long and
have a speed OF forty miles an hour, have
a fuel capacity and gas capacity for twen-
~ hours run at half speed, are capable
OF rising 500 feet and can carry a USE
full load OF 6,60O pounds over the material
necessary for operation for twenty hours.
The dirigible, while much slower than
the aeroplane, has distinct advantages OF
its own. For instance. II is provided with
searchlights for night work. has the pow.
er to hover over spot and thus better
obtain information in reconnaissance than
an aeroplane or perhaps better direct its
bomb or other projectile 1t carries rapid
fire guns and has carrying capacity for
ammunition far in excess of the aero
