occasion, while dining with old DR..
Marsham, the warden of Merton, he
was asked to give his opinion of some
port wine which was supposed to be
remarkably good. Il am. no judge of

WELL" said Kinglake. IT have three
ways of judging port wine. The first
is by the color, the second is by the
odor, and the third is by the flavor.

WHERE HORACE MADE SONG
Sabine Home Rendered Immortal by
Poet Still Retains All Its Famous
Beauty.

A few verses written two thousand
years ago have rendered the little val
ley OF the Licenza one of the most
famous places within easy reach OF
Rome. Had Maeceas been less gener-i
Gus patron, had he never given the
Sabine farm to Horace, had Horace
never told the world and his friends.
how his days there were spent, few!
would now make the classical excur-
sion into the Sabine hills, though
time has not marred their beauty.
The villa of Horace has disappeared,
but the hills are as lovely as they,
were in his day. Now, as then, II one
goes from Rome to Tivoli, and thence
to Vilovaro, there turning up the val!
ley of the LicenZa and wandering on
by road, as one must, since there is no,
railway, he comes, some few miles far
Their, to a great rock that springs abb
ruptly from the lower slopes and tits
over them at an interesting angle;
This is "the citadel Horace had to
scale" to reach his house, and marks,
1t is thought, the boundaries Of the
farm. The only difference h that the
little village Of Roccagiovfne rises on
top, where of old stood the Temple OF
Vacuna, already In ruins when Hor-
ace sat under It's shadow to write to
his friend in Rome. The little town
had done its best to meet IT'S classical
responsibilities, and has given the
name of the temple to its piazza.
Here still are the olives that pay
the Sabine farmers best, and the vines
that yield the rough little Sabine wine
that Horace has made more renowned
than many rarer vintage. Here are
the hills where he wandered, and the
woods that gave acorns to his flocks
and shade to him. Here are the bah
bling spring and the banks upon
which he rested during the hours he
counted his happiest-the Bandalusian
spring to which he promised immor-
tally In his song. And as he prom
Used so he gave. Not merely the
spring, but all that vast estate, which
the satirists of his time would have
men believe was but "a lizards hole"

Why Thunder sours MIX.

It is universally known that milk
turns sour after thunder storm. This
has been attributed to the large guam
tity of ozone which is liberated by the
electricity In the air The experiments
of Professor Trillat in Paris do not
confirm that theory. He has estab-
lished that atmospheric depressions
cause putrefying gases-normal quiz
escent-to rise to the surface of GER
tain substances, and in support Of his
theory points out that odors Of all
sorts are more permeating after
storms. These atmospheric depres-
sions accelerate the decomposition Of
gases and tend to liberate them.
Hence Tactic ferment Is produced.
Professor Trillat has made many ex-
periments with diverse substances un-
der varying pressures and has OBJ
served that when the barometer Is
lowest during storms, etc. the de-
composition Of gases is most rapid

The lions of Westminster are legion,

by history writer's can describe the
beauties of this place, watered by the
blood of soldiers; nor can the poets
describe the solemnly sacred senti-

Is it any wonder than conventionists
flock to Chattanooga during all seasons
of the year? Is it any wonder that
Chattanooga hotels are filled the
year round with tourists stopping over
for day or a week to visit the places
of interest in these parts? Not only
by ones and twos, but sometimes by
whole families the tourists come and
spend days here. Many journey direct
to Chattanooga, while thousands, 60

south to north, stop over. The rail.

6, 1918.
A center from which railroads, over
| which pass between rs and 100 trains

historic setting of which gives it wide
pre-eminence, Chattanooga, Tenn, has
become noted as a place for the hold
ing of conventions, ranging in impor

scope.
UnrivalIed Scenic Setting.
AS to the scenic setting of Chatta
nooga, it is safely stated that no city
can rival it. Missionary Ridge, to the
east, Lookout Mountain to the south
west, Orchard Knob, within the city
limits, and Chickamauga Park, twelve
miles south, in Georgia, on the trolley
line, were all scenes of conflict during
the great war between the states; and,
no matter where the visitor is from, he
can find spots of interest to visit
places that will interest him, on ac-
count of associations participated in
by soldiers from his part of the coun-
try, whether north or south. In this
section the bearers of the Star-Span-
gled Banner met the bearers of the

gathering came 1900 delegates from
all over the south and during the ses,
sions the Southern Presbyterian lay
men made great plans for the future,
missionaries volunteered to go to the

were pledged for foreign mission

Besides the conventions and assem-.
blies already mentioned, there have
met here in time past the American
