Points in England Connected With
Capt. John Smith to Be
Designated.

1t would appear that there is more in
terest shown in England in marking
places of interest having to do with the
Pilgrim Fathers and the Puritan settlers
Of New England than there is in calling
attention to the places from whence
came Capt. John Smith and those other
valiant men who laid at jamestown the
foundation of the first settlement Of

nent. This is pointed out in the annual
report of the president, Mrs. ]. Taylor

ervation Of Virginia Antiquities. lately
received by Miss Miller. directress Of the
Washington branch of the association,
the information coming from Barton
Myers. a member Of the Norfolk branch
of the body. recently returned from a trip
through England.
Suggestion Adopted.
Mr.. Myers suggested" says the re-
port submitted by Mrs. Ellyson, that
an effort should be made by our asso-
citation to place tablets in England at
Willoughby. the birthplace Of John
Smith; at Blackwell, whence the Susan
Constance, the GOOD Speed and the Dis
coverer sailed for this country. and at
the Downs, where they last touched the
English coast. The association promptly
adopted the suggestions of Mr. Myers,
and a committee was named to carry
them out At subsequent meeting
this committee reported that 1t had al
ready gone over the work and that GER
tain notes had been prepared and sent to
the publisher Of Baedeker's Great
Britain. who promptly replied that he
was glad to have the information and
would incorporate it with pleasure in the
next edition of his book
THE committee also reported a num-
Der of historical items, among the. most
interesting of which gives Recuvier,

Hunt, the minister who accompanied

Seeret Letter Opening.

1t is said that secret service agents
of certain of the foreign offices and po-
lice departments OF foreign countries
have raised letter opening to a fine art.
Some kinds OF paper. it appears, can
be steamed open without leaving any
trace, and this simple operation is fol
lowed by reburnishing the flap with a
bone instrument. In the case of seal
a matrix it taken by means of new
bread before breaking the wax. When
other methods fail the envelope Is
placed between pieces Of wood with
edges projecting one-twentieth OF an
inch. The edge of the envelop is first
fattened. then roughened and finally
slit open. Later hair line of strong
white gum is applied and the edges are
united under pressure.

a Vine That Turns Into a Tree.

The woods Of Cuba are wonderful.
ind their lasting qualities are remark
tble. The jaguay and coupey start as
vine clinging to some large tree.
This vine grows to the top and then
proceeds to put out laterals around the
rec and finally kills it. but by this
ime it has grown entirely around the
rec and has formed itself into a per-
sect forest tree sometimes four feet in
diameter. An unfortunate feature of
his proceeding is that the wood is soft
md useless for any purpose. The wood
stuck in the ground for fencing gener-
ally takes root and grows. forming a
living barrier. It is a common thing
TO see a wire fence secured to a grow
ing tree which has originated in this
manner This is not true of the jaguay
wood, which is largely used for fences
because Of its sturdy qualities. There
are some specimens of this wood which
are known to have been standing for
more than a hundred years and there
is no sign of decay or weakness of any
kind.-Chieago Journal

Tn. Touris. AUTOGRAPH Fiend.

One Of the greatest sources OF annoy
ance to custodians of places of interest
Is the mania possessed by many travel
.rs TO mark their names in conspicuous
places. On a recent trip through Cali
.ornia and the southwest ] visited a
number OF the historic missions. At
Santa Barbara I remarked to the cour-
:eous padre showing me over the mis-
ZION that all seemed SO spotless ana
asked how they kept the walls so
white. He told me the mission had re-
.ently been whitewashed to cover the
hundreds of names of visitors scrib-
sled all over the walls. An old hand
carved grill over one of the windows
had been broken by an adventurous
tourist who used it as q stepladder to
limb to the top of the window to
place his name beyond reach of q reno
rating hand. At another mission tour
SITS had Clipped the walls, taken
rounds out of historic chairs, and in
,ne place traveller had tried to pur-
oin a souvenir from a mission mu-
scum. 1t is to be hoped that this de-
,lorable trait of American tourists will
be overcome, as they realize the an
noyance and expense it involves.-LeG-
