plane Trees OF cannosa.

Not least among trees which have be
come celebrated are two giant plane
trees at Cannosa, near Ragusa, that
pearl of the Adriatic." Within three
hours walk of Ragusa, on an elevation
above the tideless sea, lies the famous
garden of Count Gozze. From prim-
tive landing place a path leads up be-
tween olives and pomegranates, myr-
ties and oleanders to the level spot
where the two colossal trees have stood
from time immemorial. The effect
Of the larger tree upon a spectator
standing beneath 1t is positively over
whelming. 1t takes twenty-five PAGES
merely TO walk closely round the trunk,
while the spreading branches reach
horizontally for from thirty TO forty
PAGES and then bend upward and fork.
A good sized public meeting could be
held in the shade of either Of these
immense trees. -Wide World Magazine.

HANGING PICTURES.
The Old Rule and Origin of the Term
"On the Line"

The Old Rule and Origin of the Term
"on the Line"
People still speak of pictures being
hung ION the line" at the Royal Acade-
my, but very few indeed, even among
the present members themselves, know
the origin of the term. The common
belief that it implies a place on the
walls on the level with spectators
eye is more or less correct. But when
the exhibitions We're held in Somerset
House and Trafalgar square the term
meant something far more definite. In
those days people not only spoke of
pictures being hung ION the line" but
"above the line" and below the line"
THE line" was then regular and per-
manent fixture 1t was a horizontal
line exactly eight feet from the floor,
marked by projecting ledge that left
the surface Of the wall below it two
inches in advance Of that which was
above it.
A picture was said to be hung ION
the line" when the top of its frame
was level with this ledge. Hung
thus" says G. D. Leslie r. A, in THE
Inner Lift of the Royal Academy"
the picture, unless a very small one
indeed. was exactly at the height to
be viewed comfortably by a specta-
tor
The rule in old times was that all
very large pictures, as well as whole
length and half length portraits, had
to be placed above the line, the bot
toms of their frames resting on the
ledge which marked the line, but no
lower. The line was thus preserved
level, no pictures breaking through 1t
either from above or below

THE SUPPLY OF BABIES.
What a Procession of Those Born In
One Year Would Mean.

I v q
One Year Would Mean.
1t has been computed that about
100000 babies are born into the
world each year. The rate of produc-
ton is, therefore, about seventy per
minute, or more than one for every
beat of the clock
With the one-a-second calculation
every reader is familiar, but 1t is not
every one who stops to calculate what
this means when it comes to a years
supply. 1t will, therefore, probably
startle a good many persons to find, on
the authority of a well known statis-
tician, that, could the infants of year
be ranged in line in cradles, the
cradles would extend around the globe.
The same writer looks at the matter
in more picturesque light He i'm
AGNES the babies being carried past q
given point in their mothers arms,
one by one, and the procession being
kept up night and day until the last
hour in the twelfth month had passed
by. A sufficiently liberal rate is al
lowed, but even in going past at the
rate of twenty a minute, 1,200 an hour,
during the entire year. the reviewer at
his post would have seen only the
sixth part of the infantile host.
In other words, the babe that had to
be carried when the tramp began
would be able to walk when but a
mere fraction of its comrades had
reached the reviewers post, and when
the years supply Of babies was draw
ing to a close there would be a rear
guard, not of infants, but of romping
six-year-old boys and girls.-London

Wenatchee Pioneer Dead

Otis B. Fuller died Saturday morn
ing at his home in Wenatchee, after a
years struggle with cancer. He went
to that city before the railroad was
built, 81 years ago, and became the
owner Of extensive property interests
both in orchard lands and business
blocks on Wenatchee avenue. He
was senior member OF the Wenaichee
Realty and Investment Company, the
firm which, more than any other, prot
tied from the enormous rise in values
for orchard lands during the first de
cade after the high line canal was
0nished.
