On came the whirlwind-like the last
But fiercest sweep of tempest blast;
On came the whirlwind-steel-gle CLEANS
broke
Like lightning through the rolling
smoke;
The war was walked anew.
Three hundred cannon mouths roared
loud,
And from their throats, with fash and
cloud,
Their showers of iron threw
Beneath their fire, in full career,
Rushed on the ponderous euirassier,
The lancer couched his ruthless spear,
And hurrying as to hover near,
The cohorts eagles flew.
In one dark torrent, broad and strong,
The advancing onset rolled along,
Forth harbingered by fierce acclaim,
That from the shroud of smoke and
flame,
Pealed mildly the imperial name.
But ON the British heart were lost
The terrors of the charging host;
For not an eye the storm that viewed
Changed its proud glance of fortitude;
Nor was one forward footstep stayed,
As dropped the dying and the dead.
Fast as their ranks the thunder tare,
Fast they renewed each serried square!
And on the wounded and the slain
Closed their diminished files again;

The Germans in the execution of

How to Know Hemlock

The occasional reports in the papers
of children or animals being poisoned
by eating some umbelliferous plant EN-.
phasizes the importance of being able
to distinguish the dangerous ones. In
the case of hemlock itself, the most poi.
sonous of all, this is not difficult. Ne.
tice first the dark green, much cut
and divided leaves and the peculiar
odor which botanists call fetid. But
perhaps the most obvious thing and
that which most easily distinguishes
the hemlock from all other umbellifer-
Gus plants is the stem. This is smooth,
polished, slightly furrowed and of n
green color, blotched and spotted with
purple. No other member of the order
has stem in the last like it.-London

Jupiter Warmer Than the Earth

"The gigantic mass of Jupiter has
a much larger warmth than that of the
earth, says scientific writer. ''It is
the result of the molecular movement
produced by the compression of the
strata and must be greater the more
powerful the masses and hence the
larger the pressure of the strata is
Jupiter surpasses the earth in point OF
mass 3O7 times, and for this reason
the inner temperature or individual
warmth of the planet is probably high
enough to evaporate the water upon the
surface quickly, so that water vapor
forms the principal substance of the
atmosphere of Jupiter. Water vapor is
an excellent reflector and readily ac.
counts for the bright radiation of light
emitted by the planet -

ALL But 81 PROPERTIES
IN PARK AREA BOUGHT


the selection of Mr.. Knisely as presi.
dent and Mr.. Todd as secretary, and
secured the services of George Il. Et.
ter as real estate expert,
The commission wasted no time in
beginning business and ON February
lb, 1918, within two weeks after
starting work, il had purchased two
properties, those of J. +. Hutchisou,
SIT North street, and Anna c. Weav.
er, S2S Hilbert street. Since then the
work of taking over the properties
and selling them has gone steadily on
| until the 40 have been taken over,
the majority of which have been torn
down, making big hole in the Eighth
ward,
On February is, 1918, Spencer C.
Giloert was appointed member of
the commission to take the place of
Arch. g. Knisely. whose untimely
death was much regretted because of
his fine knowledge of real estate in
harrisburg, and his zeal in the work
of securing the properties. Mr.. Gilbert
was elected president of the commits
sion.
The ares of the Capitol Park exten-
sion Is "a acres, which includes the
cross streets vacated by the city, a
concession eheerfully made by the city
to add to the symmetry of the park
There will be sufficient streets traverse
the park to accommodate traffic, so
that the city has lost nothing by its
| concession. The area of the present
Capitol Park is about II acres, so
that the proposed extension is almost
twice that of the present park.
Among the big purchases recently
made by the commission was the
Eagle works of the Hickok Manufae-
turing Company. covering vast area
at the lower side of the plot along
the railroad. There still remain several
other large properties to take over.
The amount asked of the present Leg.
islature to complete the work is $780,
600, or fifteen per cent. more than
the original appropriation. Since
every member of the Legislature is in.
terested in seeing the work completed
it is expected that the sum asked for
will be given.
1t is interesting to note that of the
many purchases of property made none
were acquired by condemnation pro.
eeedings and every property owner,
while demanding more for his property
than the commission was willing to
give, has expressed satisfaction over
the sale, In fact the commission is
composed of hard.headed business
men, who have full information as to
the values of the properties purchased
and in no instance did they deviste
from the value they decided to pay.
The State has put some of the
buildings TO good use, converting them
into office buildings when the offices
at the Capitol were crowded, and at
present there are housed on the ex.
tension in good buildings, the State

Commission, including the engineering
division, storage building for the

Emerging from their smoke they see
Helmet and plume, and panoply-

Each musketeers revolving knell
AS fast as regularly fell,
As when they practice to display
Their discipline on festal day.
Then down went helm and lance,
Down went the eagle-banners sent,
Down reeling steeds and riders went,

And, to augment the fray,
Wheeled full against their staggering

Forced their resistless way.

The clash of swords, the neigh of

AS plies the smith his changing trade,
Against the euirass rang the blade;
And while amid their close array
The well-served cannon rent their way,
And while amid their scattered band
Ragged the fierce riders bloody brand.
