~HE proposition to erect in Washing'
ton a memorial to Clara Barton has
q attracted wide attention, and the
general favor with which the proposal has
been received indicates that it may bear
substantial fruit In a recent issue of The
Evening Star a correspondent. urging the
erection of memorial at the Natlonai
Capital to Miss Barton, wrote:
"In a city so full of statues of soldiers
it would seem that a suitable memorial
would have ere this been erected to the
memory Of this noble woman.
Following this. a past president OF the
Woman's Relief Corps wrote: "A memo
rial to Clara Barton should represent
movement of national scope; the con-
tributions need not be larger than 10
cents for each individual | am con-
tdent when such a movement Is inau-
gurated it will be found that the re-
sponse will disclose warm. wide ana
deep reverence for her memory. The
memorial should be located in the Ma
tional Capital and | feel assured that
Congress would act promptly ana gen.
erouSly in donating a site.
The idea of those persons interested
in a memorial to Clara Barton seems
TO be that the memorial should be
given the form of a public monument
statue of the noted woman. ANA
this calls up the reflection that pub
lie memorials and statues of women
are few. In Statuary Hall at the Cap
itol there is a marble statue of Fran

The Black Sea.

The Black sea is without rival in
changes of name expressive Of human
feelings toward it. To the ancient
Greek navigators It was at first known
as the Pontus Axenos. the Inhospit.
able sea, on account OF the savagery
shown by the natives Of its shores.
Later it became the Pontus Euxinus,
the Hosptable sea; either simply for
the sake Of changing an ill-omened
name to fattering one, or In allusion
to the growth of Greek commerce and
colonization round the sea. Finally
the Turks called it the Black sea, be-
cause its sheltered expanse. its
storms and its fogs contrasted with
the bright Aegean which they had
previously known.
