of Years Ago.

If the rugged peaks Of the Alps
could tell their story, there would be
many thrilling and warlike incident
to relate; but none so strange as the
ones enacted between the Austrians
and the Italians in these mountainous
regions. The Italians are absolutely
at home in the mountains, and the
Austrians are using every invention of
science to counterfeit this advantage.
All the parapets on the steep roads,
where summer tourists were wont to
motor, have been demolished, and
beautiful pine forests have been swept
away, so that nothing shall obstruct
the artillery. Large areas have been
mined, and by pressing button the
Austrians can hurl an avalanche of
rocks and powders on to the heads Of
the advancing Italians or blow up the
roads beneath their feet.
From the Cottian chain, marking the
boundary of France in the west, to
the Carnic and Julian Alps, north and
east Of the Adriatic in Austria, there
are generally thousand passes and
routes Of more or less note, nearly all
traversed by practicable roads, and
some shortened by railroad tunnels.
Over these roads armies marched to
battle over two thousand years ago.

of the Carolingian empire, in the tenth

Increasing Potato Yield.

Farmers in the British Isles are
conducting experiments with sulphite
of ammonia to increase the produc-
tivity of the potato fields. In this
connection one of the recent reports
of the department of agricultural and
technical instruction for Ireland
showed that Is tons of farmyard ma
nure gave yield of 8h tons
of potatoes. The addition of
hundredweight of ammonium sulphate
increased the potatoes by nearly ton.
The University college of North Wales
has made similar experiments which
show that in four years the expendi.

tried to speak and instead smiled faint

self-mockery that passed, leaving only
the quiet happiness. AS though grown
suddenly weary, the jeweled hand
slipped from the mans shoulder, and

"In little while, my wife-a little

Her eyes closed in peaceful assent.
They did not open again. To those
watching it seemed that the room had
grown darker. A little half-drawn

Can White Cats Hear?

sense of hearing is proverbial, but it
is proverb that needs qualifying. For
example, many white cats are said to
be absolutely deaf, and though the
idea may appear absurd at first sight,
it is believed by some students that
the color of cat is associated with
it's sense Of hearing. Among several
imported Persians, or long-haired cats,
from abroad, not one white one in the
number has been able to hear the
slightest sound. OF course there are
white cats that can hear, but they have
been as much to the short-haired pets
Of the f1reside as to the aristocratic
long-hair of the shows.

Prehistoric Man.

The life habits Of prehistoric man,
as we'll as his antiquity on earth, are
known almost entirely from fossil re-
mains of various sorts. The data, how
ever, are very scanty and insufficient
for strictly logical deductions. Tools
and hunting weapons, bones Of tropi-
cal fauna and remains Of man are
found in the gravel beds of western
Europe. Apparently man antedates
the glacial period as this tropical
fauna there was previous to the ice
age and because remains of glacial
fauna, together with human remains,
occur in later geological deposits. Thus,
the antiquity of man becomes p ques-
ton of the date of the ice age, and
that occurred 10000 years ago at least.
The implements of prehistoric man
form a basis of division of early in
dustrial development into the stone
age, the bronze age, and the iron age.

Close by the barracks of the Foreign
Legion there is little garden and be-

Within are many relics Of a glorious

On the walls are the pictures of the

could hear the tramp of feet and the
gay call of bugle. Here everything
was peace. Deep shadows hid the

AS Destinn approached the yelled

The band crashed out a triumphant
answer. Colonel Destinn's sword sank
in farewell.

Singing, they left the glitter of lights

There was on his face a grave and

GREAT WRITER NOT ALONE
Elizabethan Age Was Memorable for
Its Drama Without the Famous
Bard of Avon.

The score of busy playwrights who
preceded Shakespeare and prepared
the ground with experiments in which
he was to triumph were reviewed re-
Gently by Prof. Felix Schelling, head
of the English department Of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania.
Doctor Something's lecture was on
"Shakespeares Competitors In the
Drama"
For, had Shakespeare's death been
untimely like that of Marlowe,' Doctor
Schelling said, according to the Ph1la-
delphia Bulletin, I'VE might question
his primacy Had Shakespeare never
lived. his age would still have been
memorable in the drama for the group
of playwrights of extraordinary stat
urea group in which the lesser
names can easily match our ShaWs.
Barries or Pineros' Doctor Schelling
compared the modern problem drama
tasts unfavorably with those OF the
past.
Doctor Schelling expressed regret
that it has been the habit of the older
scholarship Ito disregard the environ
ment of Shakespeare and to neglect
the lesser luminaries who surround
him" He said, in part:
Shakespeare is not the inventor of
Elizabethan drama. He did not find his
dramatic London brick and leave 1t
marble. Shakespeare added no single
new form of the variety that already
fourished on the stage.

"That was something you did not quite

held them with a joyful strength. "You
saved my life twice." he said. "And
you saved something greater than my
life-my faith. That is bond be-
