place of these. Con1rnunards is now barren and weed-grown as there has been no demand for burial plots so near to the Communards.
 The insurrection of the people of Paris which led to the brief reign of the Commune began in March. 1871. The populace of Paris was aroused to 8 frenzy by the success of the Ger mans and the terrible sufferings they endured during the siege. The ma jority of the members of the National Assembly inclined toward the restora- ton of the monarchy, and the govern ing body of France was therefore viewed with suspicion by the repub- licans and radicals.
 Thus 1t came about that the red flag was raised and the people seized control Of the city and proclaimed the Commune. While the Commune was marked by many bloody deeds and wild excesses. it was useful in proving the fiItility of any attempt to restore the sold royalist regime in France.
 During the fighting between the Parisians and the government troops in May the former battled with a courage and tenacity which was a1- most unprecedented in a disorganized mob. After the troops forced their way through the city gates they had to pay dearly for every foot of ground they gained. Behind their barricades the Connnunards contested every ad- vance of the soldiers. and the mur- der rous hand-to- hand fighting in the streets continued for 8 week. When at last they realized that they were defeated, the Communards sought to destroy Paris The women were even more terrible than the men, and they succeeded in applying. the torch to many famous edifices, including the Palace Of the Legion of Honor, the Hotel de Yille, the Library of the Louvre, the Palace of the Tui1eries, and numerous others Mercy played no part in 1.-the uppression Of the mob. Men, women and children were shot down like dogs. and for a year after the collapse of the Commune there were numerous court-Inartials and executions. Besides the thousands slain and executed. IS. 900 were trans ported or sent to prison. The Com mane was the most terrible insur- reetion of modern times. and, com pared with the excesses committed by both sides in this civil strife, the deeds of the Mexicans of today seem mild atrocities.

canes at the National Museum,

A collection of canes made of practi- cally every kind of suitab bIe material and representing forty-fve foreign countries, as well as twenty-one states of the Union, forms one of the most interesting exhibits at the National mu- scum at Washington. Forty different kinds wooden canes are on exhIbi- tion, as well as canes made of ivory, bone, horn, skin, paper. tin, wire and other substances. In this collection are many canes that are artistic and others that are merely curious in shape, as well as some made for emer- gency uses. Among the latter are a sketching cane with drawing materials stored in the handle, number equip ped with match safes, mountain climb ing canes with sharp spiked ferrules, an officers "swagget stick" and sword and gun canes of various types. The most interesting feature of the ex- hibit perhaps is the historical element. Popular Mechanics

Fly Rod ror Trout Fishernen.

Rods Of split bamboo are produced by cementing together number of triangular strips split from the whole cane to form each joint; the rod of six strips is the choice of most anglers Weight for weight--and, r of course, within reason, the lighter the rod the better-split bamboo rods are stronger and have more casting power and bet ter action than rods of afy other ma teriaL Very properly eonceding that the choice of a fly rod is practically limited to the rod of split bamboo, you cannot go far wrong in selecting one nine feet in length. Such a rod for the light work. of our average trout streams should not weigh over five and quar- ter ounces.
 Any rod seriously worth considera- tion has snake guides. german silver reel seat and ferrules and a solid cork hand grasp.
 It. is very well when making your selection to try out several rods ar- swering to the above specifications, in order to avoid, if possible, getting rod that is either too stiff or too flexible. Outing

strenath In LioIlowness.

The stems of bamboos, grasses, wheat and oats are hollow, although they grow to great heights in com parison to their thickness. It might naturally be supposed that to gain strength as they grew the stems ought 10 be solid at the base, but it is not so. Careful experiments have proved that a solid column subject to bending strains is no stronger than hollow one. Consequently all iron shafts are made hollow, aud the steel shafts which drive the screws of steamships have a hole bored down the center to reduce the weight But this does not reduce the strength. The thickness of the branches of trees is in proportion to the weight to be borne. Horizontal branches, such as those of the cedar and elm, are much thicker than the almost vertical branches of the poplar

xerxes and the HeIlespont.

4erxes was furious when a storm wrecked his bridge of boats in the Hellespont from Abydos to Sestos. Not content with having the engineers de capitated, he ordered the inf1iction of 300 lashes upon the strait and the letting down into it of 8 set of letters. Herodotus discredits the story that Xerxes also sent irons to brand the strait. But the historian does give the
 'non-Hellenic and blasphemous terms which the scourgers were ordered to use: sThou bitter water, this is the penalty which our master inEicts upon thee because thou has wronged him though he has never wronged thee. King Xerxes will cross thee, whether thou wilt or not, but thou deservest not sacrifice from any man, because thou art treacherous river of salt water.''
