Steamship Agents Blame Decrease Of
80 Per Cent. Chiefly on the
Recent Floods.

New York.-Up to May 8 the first
cabin passenger traffic between this
port and Europe was 357 ahead of the
same period in 1912 west-bound and
1873 bookings ahead east-bound. The
second-cabin passenger traffic showed
an increase of $4,000 west-bound and
2,434 east bound from Jan. to May s
over last year.
Traffic east-bound from now on will
be about 80 per cent. below last year,
according to the steamship agents.
This, they say, Is chiefly due to the
number of cancellations of bookings
made in January and February by
persons who were sufferers by the
floods in the middle west and by the
tornado in the Mississippi valley
Generally the year Of the presiden-
tial election is a poor one for foreign
travel. but 1912 was very good year.
Cancellations have been made in
Atlantic liners. but also on the first
cabin bookings of the Imperator.
Mauretania and Olympia.
The Atlantic steamship companies
look to the middle west and the west
for the bulk of their summer tourist
traffic and the sudden falling off in
the demand for cabin accommodation
and the cancellations came as sur
prise to them. A few of the more op-
timistic agents hope that there will
be boom in the European tourist
traffic later on, but it will have to
come soon to have any effect on the
trade.
Conducted party travel is also light,
according to the various tourist
agents, and there is not much hope of
1t picking up this year. The biggest
party this summer will be the 1000

the red men have been found in them.
but the latest is considered one of the
most important yet unearthed in that
district.
Recent high water from the Tippe-
canoe and Wabash rivers and Wild
Cat creek inundated the entire coun-
tryside. Young Fisher was going
over the territory contiguous to- the
joining of the Tippecanoe and Wa
bash rivers after the water had re-

discoveries, dug lower into the s2ot
and found stone pipe. several hand
fuls of arrow and spear heads Of

metal buttons and several other small
stone articles. both implements Of
peace and war.
1t is supposed by some that the

have been Indians.
History tells of the burial of De La

after he had been disappointed In his
venture of the Griffin. which he dis
patched from the head of Lake Huron.
The boat never returned from its voy-
age to Niagara and the Frenchman
started on the long trip of 1900 miles
to Canada, first going down the Mis-
sissippi for supplies in two canoes
with an Indian hunter and four
French companions. 1t is supposed
that the skeletons found are those of
men who either were in De La Salle's
party or who met the Jesuit mission
ary. Marquette. who later went
through the section.
1t is known that Marquette was
through that part of the country and
some students are of the opinion that
the skelentos are those of four fol-
lowers of the Marquette party and one
Of the Jesuit's group Of missionaries.
Some have asserted the larger body
is that of an Indian and not white
man, that he was the chief of tribe
and had been converted to the Chris
tian religion by the Marquette party.
The position of the body and its con-
dition seem to indicate this. accord

"The Lawn in Landscape Art"

If the landscape gardener had hut
one feature to work with, he would
most certainly choose the lawn. 1t
constitutes the solid foundation upon
which the ornaments of the superstruc-
ture are imposed. Unobstructive in
itself, it is taken for granted by the
man in the street, and its importance,
aye, its very presence, Is overlooked
The usefulness of sreensward in
making nature more beautiful and
restful is particularly impressed upon
the sojourner in hot or dry climates.
Take most of our own southern states
for instance, and in most localities II
is practically impossible to grow good
lawns. The long, hot. dry summers
and the impoverished soils discourage
the grass and the possessor of fine
lawn is the proudest person on the
street. Every weed is carefully re-
moved, the grass is kept short and is
rolled and watered with patience and
regularity.
Even then they cannot be sure of a
lawn, and this is one of the main rea-
sons for the high board fences of Dixie
Lard. Most every yard has its pro-
tecting fence, as much to hide the
nakedness of the soil as to keep out
trespassers. 1t takes fair shoulders
to wear low cut gowns and fences
prosper most where lawns are poor.
A yard without lawn to finish 1t
off is as barren of beauty as a parlor
without rug or carpet. Other fea-
lures strike the vision more promi-
nently and really impress the observ-
er as being the chief beauty of the
scene, but take away the surround
ing lawn and the artistic effect will
be lowered much more than 1t would
be by the loss of any other single
factor.
ANY comparatively homogeneous
green turf will have the same effect,
and of course the smaller the scale of
the lot the finer aud more carefully
finished the turf must be.
How is your lawn prospering this
year? We trust that you did not for
get to spray the dandelions with sui
phate of iron before they went to
seed, because this was a great year
for dandelions, and they produced
enough seed to last them through sew
en- lean years.
The plantain does not seem to be
as thick as last year. and it's fine
time to cut out the few that remain
and get rid of them for good. Their
seed does not travel far. except via
the bird route.
If there is low spot In the lawn
that you would like to raise. or
high one that needs lowering, cut the
sod into two feet by one foot strips
and lift it off the spot. Then cut or
fill to level the bad spot and replace

Ing with the surroundings or 1t will
be a detriment rather than an i'm
provement.
In many cases the proper place and
surroundings for an arch already ex-
list, and the question is merely one OF
the type of arch to build Such To-
cation would be the entrance to q
secluded garden, the end of walk or
drive, or even the street entrance.
The landscape OF garden picture Is
the only kind of a picture that may
be beautiful from all directions. and
even these natural scenes must be
planned from one viewpoint to get the
most satisfactory results.
In planning your arch, decide first
from which direction it will be seen
most frequently. II the view to be
emphasized is toward the house, the
arch must be of character to har-
monize with the house. If the view
is from the house. the arch should be
in keeping with the landscape about
it and back of 1t.
The function of the garden arch is
to locate and accentuate gateway,
formal entrance to some entirely diff
ferent scenes and surroundings. 1t
marks distinct boundary line, hence
it is entirely misplaced when the sur
roundings on either side of it are sim
ila1 in appearance. AS street en-
trance it will give excellent results,
but only when there is an adjoining
barrier. a hedge, fence, or at least
clump of shrubs. Do not make the
mistake of using such an entrance in
detached manner, because in that
case it is gateway without any pos
sible purpose.
Use 1t as an entrance to the wild
flower garden. from there to the for
NAL garden. thence to the vegetable
garden, the chicken parks, the tennis
court, but always from one distinct
scene to decidedly different scene.
Beautiful arches are made of rough
limbs, of finished timbers, of lattice
work, OF poles or wire. Each has its
individual uses. but all are governed
by the same principles of artistic good
taste. In the majority of cases, prob,
ably. the arch should be covered with
vines. such as ivy, honeysuckle, wood
bipe. climbing roses, clematis, trumpet
creeoer, Japanese ivy. etc.
Most of us have no idea of the limit
less possibilities of making our homes
attractive by proper use of the sim
pier factors of landscape gardening
and in considering these assets the
ornamental arch should not be over

Keep the walks and drives
trimmed with an edge cutting tool,

two inches wide and two inches deep
This will make it much easier to fin
ish the grass edges smoothly and 1t
will also aid somewhat in drainage.
One of these edge cutters is very
handy for edging flower beds also, and
many people use them to cut away
about tree trunks, but we do not favor
the latter plan because it breaks the
naturalization of the tree trunks with
the sod and looks too fussy.
