Made Into Mighty Stronghold.
Since 1890 the island has been prac
tically reconstructed. 1t is fortified
against the sea and warlike fleets alike
with great granite buttresses 16 feet
thick and 240 feet high ON all sides
Even the assures in its cliffs have been
filed up and bound together with thou
sands of tons of ferroconcrete. The
Krupp guns on it are estimated to
have cost $10.00O,000. It has a as
fathom roadstead which can hold the
entire German feet in safety and 10C
miles nearer England than in anZ
other of it's home stations.
Helgoland magazines contain mil.
lions of rounds of every class of ammu.
milton. Mines, torpedoes, aerial bombs
and submarines are here in abundance
It's garrison is provisioned for siege
of years.
The island is connected with Ger
many by Ibmarine cable. It's waters
for miles around are heavily mined. II
was near Helgoland early in the wal
that the first naval disaster overlook
the British when the cruiser Amphion
was sunk by mine placed by the
steamer Koenigin Luise.
1t saved the German fleet from de-
struction when Admiral Beatty turned
back after sinking the Bluecher, refus.
ing to risk his battle cruisers among
the mines and submarines surround
ing Helgoland.

Cement From Beets.

1t has been discovered in France
that an excellent cement is one of
the byproducts Of the manufacture of
beet sugar. The scum that forms when
the beets are boiled, and which has
heretofore been thrown away, con-
sists largely of carbonate of lime and
water, and from 10000 tons of beets
treated 1000 tons of carbonate lime is
obtained; to this LOO tons of clay
is added, the resulting product being
1852 tons of excellent cement. The
scum is pumped into large tanks,
where it is allowed to dry partially.
Finely divided clay is then mixed with
it; the mixture is thoroughly ANAL
gamated by heaters for an hour and
burned in rotary kiln. The clinker
is then removed and pulverized into
cement.

big "dummkopf." England had been
in possession of the island since the
Napoleonic wars, but had never real
lied its strategic importance.
The island in 1890 was simply a tri-
angular slab of red mari and sand
stone, scarcely three miles in circum-
ference, arising abruptly 200 feet out
of the sea. 1t was visibly crumbling
away. The great storms from the
north were battering it to pieces, and,
as one authority wrote at the time,
In few generations, or at the most a
few centuries more, Helgoland will be
only a fiat, desolate sand dune like
those of the surrounding sea-"
Instead of crumbling away the island

every side with ferroconcrete. Break

harbor built, and from armored case

has taken millions of dollars to &C
complish this, but Germany has cheer
fully expended s1,250,O0O annually in
protecting the island itself from it's
natural enemy, the sea, and in convert
ing 1t into one of the strongest for
tresses in the world.
In fact, Helgoland today forms prac-
tically the nucleus around which the
whole naval program Of the German
empire revolves.
At the time of the purchase the Kiel
canal was nearing completion and the
great navy yards and naval stations of
the empire were being built at Will
helmshaven, Bremerhayen, Kiel and
Cuxhaven.
The work of reconstruction was i'm
nediately begun by the Germans and
today the island is the one great Ger
man menace to England's control of
the North sea. Here are gathered the
kaisers main torpedo boat and subma-
rine fleets with which Germany ex-
poets to maintain its war zone around
the British isles. 1t is also the key and
guard of Germany's main artery of
commerce-the way to Hamburg. This

ping meadow seas in quest of the
buzzing pirate with a golden doublet,
and on sighting him followed him in
straight course to the hidden lair.
Such assaults they were, such spir-
tied advances, such ignoble retreats
and utter routs! And such laugh
ter-and such pain,
Once, though not at Aleppo, a grim
pirate in black corselet followed a
small boy on rapid wing for half a
mile, digging him at every bound, and
finally, looping the loop, sailed up the
leg of his cottonmade pants.
There was ample room in the rear
half way up for egress, but the pirate
showed no quarter, and, going on up,
attained a position of vantage be-
tween the shoulder blades. Here he
began to dig, and as he dug the boy
began to shed useless raiment. At
the edge of town ne wore the remains
of a hickory straw hat and hurt
look. However, he gathered up his
scattered raiment and returned to the
fray.
Then, too, there was the fat boy
with the tight pants, and the boy
with the shaven head, who, after TAX
ing refuge on top of wagon shed,
had to be hauled home. But why re-
count? Those were days of noble
adventure, and every sunrise brought
the call to some glorious hazard;
every sunset saw some valorous deed

Hello! What's your name, sonny?"
he asked
Harold, please, grandfather"
What" cried the doctor, jumping
out of his chair.
He had destined his son for his own
profession. but folly had succeeded
folly, and at last there had been a
scene at the end of which the doctor
ordered his son from his presence,
never to enter it again. Harold had
complied-twelve years ago.
Perhaps If his wife had been living
the old mans heart would have yield
ed in the end. Indeed, it had softened,
and often and often he had deplored
the loss of his only child. But his pro-
fessional cares absorbed all his time
and left him little for mourning. He
was the best loved doctor in a south
ern city. and the most sought after.
Now and again, at intervals of years,
he had had news of Harold. He knew
that, after roaming in the West, he
had returned to dwell in an obscure
part of the same town. He had heard
that he had a position with a manu-
featuring company and was atoning
for the wildness of his early years.
But the old man was too proud to seek
him, and his son was replica of the
