900 visitors, and the archaeological
museum only $4,000. One may doubt
less explain the popularity Of Venice
BY its neighborhood to the northern
frontier and its consequent accessi'
bility to Germany and Austria That
the venetians themselves visit the
Palaxzo Ducale in large numbers II a
improbable a. the supposition that the
bulk of the visitors to the National
gallery are Londoners.
We find. too. that at Milan Leonardo
da vinci's Last Supper" had over
forty-fiye thousand visitors, the Brera
picture gallery nearly thirty-seven
thousand. and the Certoea di Pavia
$1,000. Milan, however, must take the
fourth place. or even the NTH, the sec
ond belonging to Florence. where the
gallery of the Uhizi claims nearly sew
enty-seven thousand visitors and the
Pitt nearly sixty thousand. the Medici
chapels $4,000. the Bargello $4,000. the
academy (or gallery of ancient and
modern art) 10000. the Museum of st.
Mark nearly twenty-six thousand. but
the archaeological museum only I'VE
thousand-odd. Pompeii had some sew
enty-six thousand one hundred visitors
at two and one-half lira q head. while
the National museum at Naples at
tracted over sixty-seven, thousand flve
hundred.
The comparative lack Of interest In
archaeological museums leaves 1t un-
certain whether Rome should really
take only the fourth place. for here
the most attractive and famous gal
leries Of pictures and sculpture, and
the rooms which contain Raphaers
masterpieces in fresco. belong. not to
the state, but to the papal authorities.
But 1t is little surprising that the
Forum should be able to total only
just over forty thousand visitors and
the Palatine only $1,000: the baths at
Caracalla, on the other hand, which
are somewhat moro remote, did well
to have nearly twenty thousand. while
Hadrian's villa had over fourteen
thousand. Much Is, no doubt. due to
the fact that neither the Uflizi in Flor
ence nor the Museo Nazionale in Ma
pies can be seen in one visit without
. severe attack Of mental Indigestion;
but It js little dimcult to explain
that Rome should fall behind both
Naples and Florence, especially after
the interest the recent discoveries In
the Forum and on the Palatine have
excited.

HISTORIC OLD TREE

Jubai Early Boosted In Its Branches

Washington.-As you travel north
ward along Georgia avenue you may
see on the left, within the grounds Of
the Walter Reed hospital, a dead
giant Of tree. The great branches
have been sawed off-amputated
might be a better word, bearing in
mind the place where the tree stands
so that only the trunk and the
butts of the big limbs that formed
the crown remain. The tree was
long ago stripped of bark. and its
wood is weathered to an ashen gray.
It was q yellow poplar, but it's dead.
It was killed by q lightning stroke.
The tree grows in land that is
lower than the land to the south, but
from its top or among its branches
men could look above q spur or nose
Of land on the south and thence out
over the fiat or gently rolling fields
that stretched away to the bitches
and the parapets Of Fort Massachu-
setts. later called and better known to
Ame as Fort Stevens.
When Jubal Early's skirmishers and
the skirmish line thrown out from
Fort Stevens were popping at each
other . number Of Confederates
climbed into this tree and continued
firing at the Union skirmishers. 1t IL
usual to say that Confederate sharp
shooters were perched in the boughs
Of this old tree. It seems to strike the
civilian fancy in Q livelier way and
to more appeal to his imagination to
say that "sharpshooters" were in the
tree. "Sharpshooter" is such an elas-
tic and evasive term! It suggests
something akin to 'deadshot." The
men who took up positions in that
tree may have been sharpshooters or

they may have been Just the ordinary
run Of soldier shots. But there is q
tablet on the tree trunk. and the in
scription on the tablet is:
Used as q signal station by Con-
federate soldiers under General Early

II and IL, 1854. Also occupied by

MAYBE STOVE WOOD NEXT

Washington, October 13-The an
nouncement that Postmaster General
Burleson favors a change in the rural
delivery system whereby carriers will
have TO bid for the work and obtain il
by bidding lower than anyone else, is
causing great apprehension among
rural carriers all over the country.
This is the old star-route system re-
vived. Under it, the bidder would no
doubt be allowed to take on as many
contracts as he could handle, and ev-
cry rural carrier would become the
employe of the contractor, instead of
Uncle Sam as he is now In time, the
contractor could become big corpor-
alton which would fix the compensa-
ton of the men who do the work at
5000 TO $500 a year, instead Of 81 900
to $1,000 which the Government now
pays them direct, and the contractor
would get rich on the work of the
carriers. The contractor would come
to own the horses, wagons, or automo-
biles and the carrier would become a
mere driver.
Postmaster General Burleson is also
doing his best to transfer the parcel
post into freight post. Mail-order
houses under such a rule would soon
be delivering a bundle of shingles by
mail. The weight Of the parcel has al
ready been raised to so pounds for
certain zones, and Mr.. Burleson now
wants to raise the limit to 100 pounds.
The threatened change to 100
pounds, postal experts say, would GER
tainly not be a move to bring the
farmers nearer their market, but one
to build up the big cities at the ex-
pense Of the country districts.

He declared that America owes much
of her progress and greatness to her
citizens Of foreign birth and TO Their

much interested as those Of American
parentage to keep conditions in this
country at higher standard than
those in the old world. Senator Dill

attention to public questions relating

because early this spring none Of the
