Tho Pineapple in England.


 Pineapples, which Londoners can aow buy at the cheapest rate within living memor-, first reached England Tn th> latter part of tLe seventeenth cent4ry. The fruit was thus z novelty to Sir Christopher Wren's generation: but he soon recognized it's value as an architectural ornament. and copper p,neapples about five feet hlgll figure prominently op the towers of St Paurs. So highly did Wren esteem tho fine proportions and enriched sur. face of this fruit that hts original de- sign for St. Paul's shows an enormous pineapple in the place of the dome. Happily his rnaturer thoughts saved us from that appalling spectacle. Since Wren the pineapple has been as much at home iTi our architecture as on cur dinner tables. It has descended even to cast iron, and i5 frequently found in old-fash,oned streets. Queen Victoria treasured. q zeal given by her husband on which a pineapple was engraved. together wisa the motto, "Sa gloirs nest paa 50 coNronne. Pal Mall Ca zettN

In the thoughts and emotions 1t revives and stimu- lates, in the aroused sense of indebt- edness of all subsequent literature and art it richly repays a visit. The class%eal student will leave it in a daze of meditation upon things more real to him than the actual things he has seen and touched"
 On the site where the German savant Schliemann unearthed Homer's Troy, found. one above the other. They were builded. destroyed. and forgotten here during the more than 5000 years that civilization has lived upon the products of the fertile valley. The topmost lay- CT contained the remains of the Roman city of Illium; two Hellenic villages were found directly beneath 1t, which hourished here between 1000 B. C. and the Christian era. The sixth city from the bottom was determined Homer's Troy. The bottom layers contained the remains of prehistoric settlements, un- important villages that have escaped every memory except these few. uncov- cred. decaying stones. In the Second or Burnt City. probably 500 years be- fore the time of Troy, was found a considerable mass of buried treasure, silver jars, gold daggers and wonder fully wrought diadems of gold. De- scrfbing the country around Troy, MT. Conner continues:
 Wonder the summit of Mt. Ida, where the gods in solemn conclave so Zeus' sometimes thought two ways in his mind at once or else ended all de- bate with a nod that shook high Olym- pus and caused the heavens to rever- berate and glow with the flash of his thunderbolt.

LEGENDARY MEMORIES OF
 HISTORIC BATTLE REGION.
Stirred By the Struggle of the Allies
 for Control of the DardaneIIes.
Especial to The Bulletln.)


 Washington. D. C.. July 1-Cannon awakening the achoes over IIlium's plainss where the allies are trying to pound their way beyond the Oar danelles. stir many legendary memo ries of this historic battle region and bring to mind the oldest contrasts. Here, where now modern ordnance tion, Homers heroes waged their spectacular, single handed combats, while admiring armies grouped them selves around to watch. It is a far cry from the romantic siege of Troy to the terribly impersonal battle of today. Yet the old walls of Troy must bring some sort of inspiration to the soldiers fighting in their shadows; sol diers of the allies or of the Turks. Ex- wars great battlefield is described in communication to the National Geographic society by Jacob E. Con- ner. He says: The Trojan walls are still in evidence; those same walls that defied the onslaughts of Aga memnon and Mene1aus, of Ajax, Nes- tor. Diomed, Ulysses and Achilles, to fall at last by stratagem. They re- main as a ruined and abandoned stage minus its paraphernalia, whereon was played so many centuries ago an in- significant little drama compared with modern events; but it was drama so big with human interest divinely told that the world has never known its equal.
