Some Little Known Facts Con-

from east to west or from
west to east. You can go from
north to south, but this will not
AXE you around the continent,
owing to a peculiar formation Of
the land.
The country there looks the
same as the country here, ex-
Gept that it Is entirely different
IN appearance. The difference
Is more easily described than
seen. However, this is not the
place for a technical discussion
on the subject, and besides, we
don't know what the difference
IS; so we refrain from telling
you all about it.
The rivers in South America
are usually damp, and many Of
them are full, or partly full OF
water which usually moves in
the same direction. What
makes the water in a river more
restless than the water in a

The mountains in South

Lincoln Memorial Plan

By the choice of Henry Bacon as
supervising constructor of the ST.
100000 Lincoln memorial in Potomac
Park, Washington, the earlier ac-
ceptance of Bacon's design is for
mally sealed. The good plans that
slowly have been taking form for
three years, at times put in peril by
Philistines, as in the threatening eff
fort to spend the appropriation on a
needless road to Gettysburg, can now
be pushed with vigor and with no
fear of further disturbance.
Through pictures in the press and
models in the National Museum,
Bacon's design is already widely
known. 1t employs the Greek ele-
ments of platform, column and arch
itrave on a scale so large, in proper
tons so fine. yet severe, with land
scape setting in which natural and
formal beauties are so pleasingly
blended that without apparent effort
it achieves the dignity demanded by
its purpose.
In one of the House debates Repre-
sentative Sherwood declared 1t alb
surd to erect a Greek temple to a
man that never knew the Greek al
phabet. But If ever an American
deserved a memorial in Greek re-
straint and strength, Lincoln was the
man. There Is more of Grecian SIM
plicity and spirit in the brief Gettys-
burg address, or In his letter to the
bereaved Massachusetts mother than
in a hundred college presidents re-

CONTINUED from Yesterday

The Red road, as Valiants car
passed, was dotted with Struggling
pedestrians; humble country folk
who trudged along the grassy foot
path with no sullen regard for the
swift cars and comfortable carriages
that left them behind; sturdy bare
footed children who called shrilly
after him, and happy-g o-lucky negro
youths clad in their best with sun
day shoes dangling over their shout
ders, slouching regardlessly In the
duSt-all bound for the same Mecca,
which presently rose before him,
gateway of painted canvas, pre-
claiming the field to which 1t opened
Runnymede.
This was a spacious level mead
ow into which debouched the ravine
on whose rim he had stood with
Shirley on that unforgetable day.
But its stake and ridered fence en-
closed now no mere stretch of ILL
kept sward. Busy scythes, rollers
and grass cutters from the Country
Club had smoothed and shaven a
rectangle in it's centre till 1t lay like
a carpet on crushed green velvet,
set in an expanse of life-everlasting
and pale budding goldenrod.
He halted his car at the end of
the field and snapped leash in the
bulldogs collar. 'I hate to do it,
old man." he said alphabetically to
Chums reproachful look, "but rye
got to. There are to be some stunts.
and in such occasions you're apt to
be convinced you're the main one
of the contestants, which might
cause mix-up. Never mind; I'll
anchor you where you won't miss
ANYTHING"
With the excited dog Juggling be-
fore him he threaded his way
through the press with keen exhil-
aration. This was not a crowd like
that of a city: 1t resembled the old
homestead day of some unbelievab bly,
populous family at reunion with
its servants and retainers. All it's
members knew one another and the
air was musical with badinage Now
and then his glored hand touched
his cap at a salutation. He was
conscious of swift brd-like glances
from pretty girls. Here was none of
the rigid STRAIGHTFORWARD gaze or va
cant stare of the city boulevard: the
eyes that looked at him, frankly
| curious and inquiring, were full of
easy open comradeship. There was
| about both men and women an air
| of being at the same time more cere-
| moniouS and more casual than those
| he had known. Some of the girls
wore gowns and hats that might that
morning have issued from the Rue
| de la Paix; others were habited In
cheap materials; but about the lat =
| ter hung no benumbing self-con-
| seriousness. All bore themselves alike,
| and all seemed to possess musical
voice, graceful movements and a
sense of quiet dignity. He was be-
ginning to realize that there might
really exist straitened circumstances,

ports. Bacon's design will approve
itself to all that not only know
Abraham Lincoln, but that also feel
the spell of good architecture.
Placed at the river end Of the
great hall, and filling the cityward
vista of the projected Arlington
bridge, the memorial will mean much
in the future planning of the city.
The structure will re-enforce and ex-
tend all that lately has been done to
return equivocally to the axial ar
rangement first laid out by Major
fEnfant, with President Washing
tons approval, more recently de-
veloped by the so-called Burnham
plan, and already marked by the i'm
pressive grouping of the capital, the
monument and the new structure be-
tween. Though first and last the
nations tribute to the greatest of its
three great leaders, the Lincoln me-
mortal will also be a signal means
of enhancing the beauty and estab-
fishing the ground plan of our
federal etropolis.-Boston Herald.

Finish Cape Cod Canal. Soon

Everybody reads about, talks about,
and. IL possible, goes to see the
Panama canal. Comparatively few
pay any attention to the Cape Cod
canal, though, so far as direct inter-
est goes, it is likely that New Eng
land will profit more by this great en-
cheering scheme than by that far
Their off. The information is now pub
lished that the nearby canal will be
finished by July /, 1914, and be in use
by November of that year-just about
year from now.
With this canal open, vessels can
go right into the Vineyard sound and
up Buzzards bay, through the cut
ting, and out into Massachusetts bay
and avoid the shoals and the open
ocean.
Take the Fall River boats, which
now hustle their passengers out at
early hours, if they wish to reach
Boston promptly. These can make
their runs clear to Boston If the man
agement wishes. The multitude of
coasters can follow this course and
save time and scarcely a word is said
about it.--Exchange.

Fortunate throughout his life, brill
liant, handsome and of good family,
Rubens was never in doubt of his
future. His talent for painting
showed itself in boyhood. At the
age of 20 he went to Italy, where he
soon attracted the notice of the Duke
of Mantua. Partly as art expert,
partly as diplomat, he went in the
dukes service to all the important
cities of Italy He spent eight years
in that country sometimes painting
for his patron, but more often trav-
cling on political missions.
Recalled to Antwerp by the serious
illness of his mother in 1908, Rubens
