Manisses which was Its Indian name

Here IL an island some nine miles long
and about four wide that Is as IKE pig
ocean liner as any one could wish. The
island affords all the pleasures and bene-
fits of an ocean voyage without the dis

A prosperous fishing community during
the winter is Block Island, but when
spring comes along there is a great scurry-
ing and preparation for the summer visi-
tors. The whole island becomes big

fences may be had. or II the visitor is not
too fastdious he can enjoy the most
delightful OF real down east living.
Many OF the Block Island hotels have
farms in connection with them and fresh
vegetables and dairy products ms well
as fresh sea food can always be depended
upon. The shore dinner is here met
In its most delicious and unauthorized
excellence. The succulent clam, the de-
ic,ous lobster and bluefsh and green
corn. chicken and watermelon are the
pride OF the Block Island old timers.
The city man and his family can find
no greater contrast than this quaint ISL
and Here Is an opportunity for life In
the open under ideal condtions-the sea
stretching away on every hand. pure air
and the ample expanse OF meadows and
picturesque seashore.
There are sports of the sea for the
hardest and also the latest social amuse-
ments. But above all there Is present

to shake off his worries and become
carefree and so get the benefit OF his
vacation. It Is the Block Island spirit
Of goodheartedness and sociab!lity.

The name Antwerp means at the
wharf" Its situation at the mouth
Of the estuary Of the Scheldt exposed
1t to every piratical invader, but early
in the sixteenth century Antwerp rose
suddenly to great commercial import
ance. its large, deep port being better
adapted to shipping than the shallow
and narrow canals and rivers Of Client,
Bruges and other Flemish cities. To
this time Of prosperity Antwerp owes
its fine buildings, which still adorn 1t,
but during the attempt Of the. prov
inces to shake OF the yoke Of Spain
more than eight thousand innocent
citizens were ruthlessly massacred.
and almost q hundred Of the finest
edifices destroyed.
The end of Antwerp's golden age
was brought about by the duke Of
Palma, under whose regime the popu-
lation was scattered and trade ruined.
and to mark the climax for the city's
misfortunes the Dutch erected forts
on their own territory and refused to
permit ships to proceed up the river.
All cargoes had to be unloaded at .
Dutch port and forwarded by river
craft to Antwerp. From that day
Antwerp's importance faded away,
while Amsterdam and Rotterdam took
its place, commercially.
History repeats itself. and Antwerp

Gee, but they must be hot" is the
phrase with which every new arrival
sreets the bears. And indeed they must.
They seem to have it figured out that if
they wag their heads sufficiently long
they will stir up a breeze. But they are
wrong. One can fairly see those bears
perspiring as they waggle their heads to
and fro.
The only advertisement which the
polar bears at the Zoo allow themselves
is an occasional plunge in the cold water
tank which is the center OF their home.
Cold water tank? Well. the Geological
authorities fatuously believe that il is
cold water tank because they run into it
the coolest water which can be obtain
ed around the city. But the melancholy
expression of a polar bear climbing out
OF the tank indicates that his views on
the subject are dissinlilar
On recent Sunday keeper declared
on his word rs a gentleman and gov
