Key to tho Dutch Seas.

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centn ries the fame of Middleburg and Flush ing, in Holland. extended all over Flu. rope. The latter especially was so important that 1t was called "the key to the Dutch seas." The Emperor Charles V. visited the city and spent some days in the small adjoining town of Zuytburg. It was there that in Sep tember, 1558, he dated his act of ah dication before sailing from Flushing to Spain and retiring to the monastery of St. Juste.

Sand Hills of Bergen.

Bergen is so called doubtless from the sand hills which at this point of the coast of Holland are unusually con spicuous and give the name of Little Switzerland'' to the neighborhood. These dunes are the scene of very in teresting experiments in fir planting. with a view to keeping them station ary and preserving the valuable land behind them from sand drift. This slow atforestation at Bergen. on which some thousands of pounds are spent annually. was initiated by very re markable private association. the Meth erlands Health society, which. starting in q quiet way twenty five years ago. now employs from it's headquarters in Utrecht an army of workers and turns over some tSO.U0O annually in its i'm, provements.

ORIGIN OF "0LIvER TWIST"
Dickens Got His Principal Characters
 From Crui<shank.


 The true story of the origin of "Oli. yer Twist" is not generally known. It Is this:
 After the amazing success of the "Pickwick Papers Dickens was think ing of following it np by story of London life. with which be was more familiar than with English country life. Just about that time he happened to visit the studio of George Cruik. shank and was shown some drawings the latter had made illustrating the career of London thief. There was a sketch of Fagins den, with the Art full Dodger and Master Charley Bates, pictures of Bill Sikes and his dog and Nancy Sikes and, lastly. Fagin in the condemned cell.
 Dickens was much struck by the pow. CT of these character sketches. and tbe result was that he changed the whole plot of Oliver Twist" Instead of taking him through spiritless adven lures in the country he introduced him into the thieves den in London, show ed up their life of sin, but brought his hero through pure and undefiled.
 Thus 1t will be seen that George Cruikshank, not Charles Dickens, was the originator of the leading charac. ters that appear in "Oliver Twist. London Saturday Review.

ESTABLISH RECORD
IN RESTORING OF
STOLEN MACHINES

Automobile thieves who expect to
bring stolen cars to Imperial Valley
to sell them to unsuspecting pur-
chasers will probably have better luck
if they take them some place else.
A dozen cars which have been stolen
at coast points have been recovered
by lhe sheriffs office in the last few
months and not one of the cars had
been reported stolen here.
The twelfth car was recoevred by
Undersheriff Anderson yesterday and,
like the preceding II, no report os
the theft had been received at the
sheriff's office.
It's the way the fellows who steal
cars look, more than anything else,
which leads to their arrest" said Dep
uity Sheriff Kemp in commenting ON

had been recovered in the valley re

GeRMANYS STRONG POSITION

The remarkable ability displayed by the German forces in holding their own in the face of such Overwhelming odds as have been brought to bear against them has forced a more general con sideration of the real reason for Ger many's seemingly invulnerab ble power
 some statements giving a clearer un- derstanding of the subject are con taned in an editorial published in the special war. issue of the Scientific American of Sept. 3, 1914 which covers. every technical phase of military oper- ations both on sea and land The following pertinent extracts are taken from the article:
 The seemingly overwhelming mum hers of the Triple Entente are greatly offset by the fact that Germany holds an unusually strong stratagetic posi- ton both on land and sea, and that whereas her armies are of common race. speaking a common language, the enemy is composed of three races. speaking no language in common, and differing widely in tastes. temperament. and traditions
 of enormous advantage to Germany is the fact that the geography of the naval and military situation is such that she is planted squarely between her major enemies, France and Russia and so long as she can command the Baltic, it is impossible for those coun- tries to affect joint concentration of their troops in overwhelming numbers upon either frontier
 In the event of German reverses and he failure of her invasion of France she would fall back upon her line of frontier fortifcations taking up a strong defensive position. and hurl the bulk of her armies against the enroll . ing tide of Russian invasion. If this 7ii'oiu 'C OiiS ''ui9t ol eNehlo the Germans would settle down to war of defense which Night last 'or two or three years, and end in the contestants lighting each other to the point of utter exhaustion. There is no reason to be- ieve that the German of the twen tieth century has lost any of the powers of recuperation and dogged re sistance which carried him through the seven years of war under the great Frederick
