Cannon of Solid Rock.

When the island of Malta was under
the rule of the Knights of st. John
they defended their Notifications with
cannon bored in the living rock. Each
one of these strange weapons con-
tanned an entire barrel Of powder, and
as it was not possible to vary the aim
of these cannon so were made ready,
facing various directions from which
the enemy might approach.
When the fame of these arms OF de-
tense became known to the world the
idea vas taken up of transporting
rocks to summits to serve the same
purpose, but it was soon recognized to
be impracticable, and the cannon OF
Malta, bored in solid rock, have
passed into history as the sole wea-
pons of the kind ever known.-Har.

READ LINCOLN'S
MASTERPIECE

Seldom has there been a clearer
manifestation Of the increased I'M
petus of the natural movement to
Americanize foreign born residents
than was shown last evening, IN the
competitive reading at the Citizens
School for new Americans, where
were assembled a host of the stu
dents and friends of the school, the
roster of which comprises Swedes,
Russians, Germans and Hungarians-
The thorough Americanization OF
the foreign born residents was shown
in the costumes of the students, who
have also copied many of the Amer
ican mannerisms.
The special feature of the assem-
bly, was the competitive reading OF
Lincoln's Gettysburg address, by the
foreign born school. To the winners
were awarded prizes of five and Two
dollars, which were donated by j. T.
Mullin and Sons. Representatives
of the company were present ano
addressed the students.
Stanley Peska was the winner OF
the first prize. The second prize went
to Roman Jonkiert, and Peter Franez
Konsy received honorable mention
On Monday the address will be read
by the prize winners at the New Cen
tury Club.

until he, could have a conference with

Mr.. Bancroft proposes to buy that por-
tion of the Diamond State Steel Com
pany on the north side of the Christiana
river and adjoining Third street on the
south and TO have it converted into a
public playground to take the place of
.Christiana Park. Mr.. Bancroft would
hold the property until such time as the
city felt financially able 10 purchase IL
from him. He would first have an agree
ment whereby the city would eventually
decide TO buy the land.
Before Mr. Bancroft does this. how.
ever he wants to confer with the Levy
Court and try TO induce the county tc
pay at least a part of the expense Of
purchasing the Diamond State Stee
ICompany's property. which it is thought
could be secured for about $4,000. II
lis the opinion that the county woule
agree 20 pay a part of this cost and e
get in return a clear right of way acrosl
Christiana Park on which to locate tn,
north approach TO the new bridge.
Il is believed by some members o.
City Council that they can purchas,
the Diamond State Steel Company,
plant and eventually purchase tn,
site of the Ten Weeges coal yard.
With this in the city's possession
Wilmington would then have a watei
