valued at $675,OOO was stolen In tran
sit between Paris and London. Parts
of 1t were later recovered, and the
men who attempted to dispose OF it
arrested. tried and convicted. The

the Hatton Garden diamond and pearl
merchant, who is now assembling a
necklace to be composed of 200 per-
fectly graduated and matched pearls,
which will be valued at $1.6O0.00o. Mr..
Mayer says his idea is to make the
most costly necklace in the world.

Month Of March In History.

March, the month of Martius
(Mars), though the third month of
our calendar, was the first month OF
the Roman year. 1t was considered
as the first month Of the year IN
England until the change Of style in
1852, and the legal year was reckoned
from the 25th of March. It's last days
(old style) were once properly sup
posed to have been borrowed by
March from April, and are proverbial-
ly stormy.

In the present war, Dinant was the
scene OF some of the sharpest fighting
that has thus far occurred in Bel
GUM. The Belgian army was at Lou
vain, and the French troops occupied
positions near Dinant. Striving to
gain a road to Paris by way of the
pains of historic Waterloo, the Ger
mans attacked the French. The nght-
ring was desperate. but the French
lines held. Several other battles were
fought in this district. before the thea
tire of war was moved further south.
A Wonderful Stronghold.
One of the strongest fortresses in
all Germany is Ehrenbreitstein, lying
on the right bank of the River Rhine,
in the Prussian- Rhine Province. The
magnificent citadel is built on rock
which rises some 400 feet above the
river, facing the mouth of the Moselie
and Is fianked by double line OF
works with three tiers of casemate
batteries. These works to the north
and northeast form a separate fort,
and the whole forms a chain of forti-
fcations which surrounds Koblenz. an
other town just opposite Ehrenbreit-
stein. These strongholds are declared
by experts to be impregnable.
with the garrison, the town OF
EhrenbreGStein has population of
$500. but Koblenz has $4,000 inhabi-
tants, excluding the garrison OF some
5000 men stationed there. 1t Is
