Harold SEEK and Ray Johnson, found
the money in an alley behind the
hotel. They declared dividends and

In a couple of days the wheel was
sold to s. " Reynolds, local attor-

Palace, and Ireland Immediately left

Harold. The story of the money be-

rubs elbows with more distinguished for

establishments one is transported from
America into foreign land Thus the
American writer or artist dwelling in
Washington can gain Impressions OF

he located in Washington his institu-

saw that Engiishmans dream realized
before he selected the Capital city as
the nest for his mother hen of science

laboratories for the pursuit of pure
science than can be found in any other
of our urban centers- 1t also possesses
more learned societies. The National

cannot here find a specialist of re-
