PortusaI's Wonderful Climate.


The climate OF Portugal In the most

to be undeceived by weeping skies and
with the cruel mistral as certainty
At Lisbon. on the other hand. cold
weather as understood elsewhere Is
literally unknown. The temperature
is not only higher than that Of the
Riviera. but is equable to a degree that
almost defies belief. What this means
in practical effect Is illustrated by the
fact that in March last l met an Eng
lish lady on board ship who had stayed
six weeks at Mont 'Estoril. near Lis
bon. and had bathed in the sea every
day In February. Nor was the season

THE NAME "ARTHUR."
II Has Wider Significance Than 10
Generally Supposed.

Generally Supposed.
The New Life. the London organ OF
''the most ancient faith" gives its
readers the following reconcile notes
on the name Arthur"
The name is not pronounced Arthur
but Ar-Tau-r.
The "a" Is added for pronouncing
in an accumulated manner
The "R" should be by itself and is
pronounced like ARE"
"R" signifies the head. and the Sec
ond part of the name Is 18th" or Tau
or TOR"
Artau or Arthor is a tetragramma-
ton and is shown as R-Th-O-R. 1t
means the head of Thor or Tori. e.,
the head Of the highest intelligence.
The Tharus or Tharsus of the east
is similar to the Tauris or Tories of
Ireland and Scotland.
They were the religious mendicants
of the past who led the people rightly
in the way Of the most ancient faith.
With the uprooting Of the ancient
idealism these mendicants gradually
assumed political mission because of
their social power among the Celtic
peoples.
The word Tory associated with mod.
ern politics has come from this. The
word Tory. therefore. has a similar
meaning to Arthur and implies "the
party or people Of divine intelligence"

CARE IN SELECTING PAPER
eeneraI Effect Must Be Considered
6efore the Choice Is Made
and Work Begun.

In papering any room It should be
remembered that light is the first
consideration. and that the paper
must be chosen accordingly
Pure white is the best choice when
specially light room is wanted, as 1t
apsorbs only about Is per cent of the
iight thrown upon it. Dark green, on
tne other hand. is the greatest con.
sumer of light. absorbing about IS
per cent.
Next to white as light producer
are the soft pastel tints and light
oiues, which absorb from 20 to 25 per
cent. OF the light; then comes orange
at 81 per cent; apple and gray
greens. almost so per cent. and the
popular brown is almost as bad as
dark green. as 1t takes up about 60
TO 70 per cent Of the light it should
throw out.

Ancient Spanish Lighthouse.

At La Coruna, in northern Spain.
may be seen a fire tower, which Is,
with the exception of the ruins of the
Roman lighthouse at Dover, the old
est of all existing structures of the
kind.
The exact date of the erection Of
this tower is unknown. According to
an ancient tradition it is accredited
to Hercules, whence its name Tore
de Hercules. Others say that Phoeni-
clans, who had established several
colonies in Spain, had erected this
light tower for their northland cruises.
However, judging from the inscrip-
ton. 1t is more probable that the
Roman Emperor Trajan erected this
structure. The inscription also men-
tons the name of Servius Supus Of
Lusitania as the architect. The tow
er is built of ashlars and is q feet
square and 12O feet in height. It has
six separate stories which can only
be reached by circular staircase
around the exterior Of the tower. The
lighthouse was restored In 1884 but at
the end Of the eighteenth century was
again in ruins. In 1707 It was rebuilt
by the Spanish government.-From

Great Trees of oreuon.

'In the forest reserve between the
headYaters of the west fork of Hood
river and the Bull Run lake are some
large trees, bigger than any l have
ever seen anywhere else in the north
west" says George T. Prather, pio-
neer of the Hood River valley.
1.-The trees are said to be several
hundred feet high and to stand on the
fiat Of hidden canyon. Steep bluffs
on either hand shut in the gorge in
which they rear themselves, and this
reason is given for the failure of those
who fish in the Lost lake district to
have found the trees. There are two
species of the great trees.
"One has a yellowish and not very
rough bark, is straight and as round
as candle. 1t has no limbs to a
great height and has "a beautiful
crown. The second species is cedar. .

LOW MORTALITY IN BATTLE
Enormous Expenditure of Shot and
Shell Without Result-No Time
to Take Aim.

The mortality during a battle is sur
prisingly low; in fact. according to the
mortality proverb. it takes a ton of
shot to kill a man.
AT the seige of Gibraltar 259, 1887
heavy shot and shell were thrown in
10 the garrison during the ten months
attack, but only 1341 prisons were
killed and wounded. most of the in
Jurles being very slight. At Salaman-
ca only one shot of every 437 took ef-
iect, and at Waterloo the fire Of one
side of British square emptied no
more than three or four saddles in a
squadron Of French cavalry.
1t has been estimated that in the
Crlmean war the British troops fired
lo,oO0,OOO shots and killed $1,000 Rus
slams, or one death to every 700 shots.
The French fired 29.O0O,O0O shots and
Killed $1,000 Russians, or one death,
to every 500 shots; while the Russians
nred 45,000.000 shots and killed $4,000
OF the allies, or one death to every
910 shots.
When the Germans besieged Me-
zieres in 1870. $4,000 prcjectiles were
thrown into the town, but only 300
persons were killed, or one for every
642 shot and shell. At Trouville two
persons were killed by 10000 shells, or
one person for every $4,000. and at
Lorgny 10000 shells were fired and
did not kill single person. :,
In battle there is not much time to
aim, Ani military authorities now re-
gard rapidity of fire as being more
essential than range and precision.
At the Alma, where Russians,
French and British were engaged, the
French lost 40, the Russians At, and
the English rs per 1000 soldiers. The
Russian loss at Inkerman was very
heavy, being ITO per 1000, while the
English lost 81 and the French only
per 1000 combatants. The British
loss at Waterloo was 4S per 1000. In
fact, wherever Britons fight, they kill,
or are themselves killed, in large num-
bers.
