been spent here in profitable study

glance was vouchsafed to those who
were trying to see something OF
Montevideo In less than two days.
Modern Business Houses.
From the Plaza Independence our
route lay up the fine Gale IS de Julio.

date OF the adoption Of the constitu-,

street, lined with a succession Of mod

The first residential section of the
city we saw in the Paseo del Molino.
and all were most favorably Impress
ed with the clean. carefully kept villas
invariably set in gardens Of flowers.
One Of the handsomest structures we
passed was that OF the Argentine Le-
cation. From the Paseo we drove
through double line Of fine euca-
lyptus trees to the Prado. the Bois de
Boulogne Of Montevideo. This park
is the pride Of the beauty.loving cit-
zens Of Montevideo. and very Justly
SO. The rolling plain has been trans
formed into veritable garden of
spacious extent. where groves OF mag
nificient trees shade grassy dells and
placid lakes The well-known trees
Of our northern forests mingled with
the natives OF the semitropics. A
grove Of oaks was neiyhbor to clus-
ter Of horsechestnuts. while the state
iy palms and slender bamboos might
be seen close to the giant eucalyptus.
and towering shrubs and snowy wa
ter lilies lent more color to the scene.
In many shady hooks rustic benches
invited the weary to rest. and time
alone was needed to enjoy the charm
of the seclusion offered in this breath

tos, our next stopping place. was
lined with handsome "quintas." or
vallas. set in exquisite gardens
From the Prado we proceeded to
that most fashionable Of Montevideo's
bathing resorts. Pocitos. Here we
stopped at the hotel. on whose spa
cious verandas we lunched.
We next drove to the Cemetario
Central. A fine chapel is located here
amid the cypress trees and beautiful
monuments, and 1t Is in the large sub
terranean vault underneath this struc-
ture that repose the remains of the
hero Of Uruguay. Jose Gervasio Arti-
gas. We were permitted to descend
into the vault and to see the tomb.
Here also is the tomb Of Gen. Eugenio
Garzon. whereon is placed the urn
which holds his ashes and a glass Jar
which contains the heart Of the great
soldier. preserved In alcohol, and ex-
posed to the gaze of the visitor.
While intended to honor the courage
and greatness of the dead, the sight

Very lnconsiderate.

A young mother who sings at oc-
casional concerts has a new kind of
crouch against her husband. Being
a modern singer, she never sings I'M
less she has her music. He. being
modern husband, incidentally
watches over the baby while she is
doing her concert work. The other
night, when the clock pointed to
about $3.50, the baby of the family
awoke and by screaming Justify
awoke father and mother. Father
sprang out of bed, over to the crib
and, picking up the infant, began
to sing, hoping, obviously, thereby
to get the youngster back to sleep.
At almost the first note, however,
came an exclamation of expostula-
lion from the mother. Don't sing
to him." she said, "because he'll ey-
pect me to some time when |
haven't my music with MI" New

Coveted Sunken Treasure.

News that fresh attempt is to be
made to recover sunken treasure from
the ship General Grant recalls the
story of that i'll fated vessel. She sailed
for London from Melbourne in 1866 and
was wrecked off the Auckland islands.
For two years her disappearance re-
mained mystery. Then chance led
to the rescue of few survivors. who
told how the vessel had been dashed
against cliff 400 feet high and in
sinking had been swept into cave at
its base. There for close on half a
century the wreck has lain in fourteen
fathoms of water, with treasure to the
value of $1,250.OOO in the bullion room
to tempt the treasure hunter. The
estimate may be an exaggeration, but
the report has already attracted five
well equipped expeditions. The swirl
of the tide and the deadly backwash
within the cave have so far defied the
efforts of the most skillful and daring
divers to reach the treasure. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the sixth at
tempt will share the failure of its pred
ecessors.

The people of the county should feel
proud That such sSanaiarium is To-

Gvest Actors to Whom Death Came a.
They Walked the Boards.

they walked tne nc&r6s.
Sir Henry irving died on the
| stage of ali English theatcr at the
most intense moment Of his inter
probation OF the character of Thorn
as Il Beckett. lie had partly spoken
the prelate's dying line, Into thy
hands, 0 I.ordv' when the swift and
really fatal end came.
Another actor. whom Sir Henry
always used to declare was far
greater than he himself could ever
hope to be, died in a similar way.
He was stricken down just as he
was about to speak another famous
dying line. That actor was Samuel
Phelps. one of the greatest and most
varied Of tragcdians and comedians.
He was giving his memorable per-
Torrance Of Cardinal Wolsey at the
old Aquarium theater, London. lie
had just reached the we'll known
line, Farewell, a long farewell to
all my greatness" when he fell to
the stage, uttcring the last line on
the boards.
Van Bienc, the famous ccll.st,
died on the stage playing in 'l'he
Broken Melody" in which he had
appeared all over the world.
Two of the chief examples of
deaths on the stage which occurred
before our time were those Of Ed
mund Kcan and the heavy man
John Palmer
kean was playing the death
doomed Othcllo. He had come to
the speech wherein the distracted
Moor has to exclaim, "Othello's oc-
cupation's gomez AT that moment
Kean, who. as it was said, made the
audiences seem to "read Shakespeare
by flashes Of lightning" fell into the
arms of his son Charles. who was
playing Iago, and never spoke again.
Palmer fell dead on the stage
while playing the name part in "The
Stranger" and at the moment of ut
tering "Thcrc is another and a bet
ter world"
The explanation Of sudden death
under these conditions is familiar to
all old actors. 1t is simply that GER
tain moments in these dcscrvedly
famous representations called for the
exertion Of the actors supremest
powers. while the man himself. be-
ing under the spell of his own cyalt-
ed emotions, could not realize that
he was overtaxing his vital organs.

A FLIGHT TO MARS.
| canswindt Planned to Make the Trip
| In Skyroeket Car.

l =" = SNy'VSNVt SSEs
Probably the widest idea that
ever found IFS way into a man q
brain was trip to Mars in sky
rocket. Herr Ganswindt. rich
German manufacturer, was in 1899
confident that he could perform
the feat and was SO enthusiastic
over the scheme that he wrote "a
book of his plans and dedicated it
to Emperor William.
The vessel in which Herr Cans
windt contemplated making the
trip was to be in the shape, of a
cartridge. which was to attain its
first momentum by being shot from
a huge cannon. This. he figured,
would carry it nearly to the outer
limits of the earth's atmosphere,
and from then on it would be driven
forward by a succession Of explo-
sions in its rear compartment.
70 accomplish these explosions
The thick wall Of the car was to be
bored through from end to end and
the spaces filed with nitroglycerin
cartridges. which could be slipped
into place and discharged at the
will Of the driver. Herr Ganswindt
stated that by this means the direc-
ton as we'll as the speed of the pro-
jectile could be controlled.
To keep himself from being crush
ed or shaken to pieces by the start
and later explosions he designed
the shell SO that its base would have
double partitions.
Between these there were to be
water, known conclusion breaker,
and powerful spiral springs. His
compartment was to be heavily pad
del and hung with straps in such a
way that he would be able to sus-
pend himself in its interior.
The head of the car was TO be
fitted with powerful telescope. and
various other scientific instruments,
carefully stored, were to be taken
along.
After the atmosphere was once
passed the daring explorer believed
that he could travel at almost limit
less speed and that the 4.,000.CGu
miles could be covered in the course
of forty-two hours. All the pro-
visions necessary would be a little
water and few packages Of COM
pressed food tablets. The required
oxygen was to be manufactured
when needed by the use of certain
chemical powders.
The scheme stirred up q great
deal of interest at the time, and
Ganswindt was determined to un-
dertake the expedition and even
went so far as to get a contract on
the building of the vessel, but at
last the entreaties of his wife and
children conquered. and he reluc-
family abandoned his adventurous
dream.-New York Mail.

Tho1ght He Knew Him.

A laborer was engaged in the
grounds of an asylum and received
instructions to pay no attention
whatever to the remarks of the pa
tents.
Some little time after he COM
menced to work the governor Of the
asylum, a well known doctor, look
ing at the progress of the work,
mildly suggested one alteration.
The workman dug steadily on ana
never lifted his head.
The doctor raised his voice, but
the man, without answering, went
on digging theoretically. The doc
tor threatened, stormed and finally
Numbered out:
'Do you know who I amp"
The laborer Strengthened his back,
looked at him a minute and, shak-
ing his head, sorrowfully exclaimed {:
"Poor chap! I am sorry for ye,'
and went on calmly with his work.
