Yet memory brings those other DAYS

Would see perchance some old ia
miliar face,
But none appears, my searching is in
vain.
And SO turn to Fafrview, that
dear place
Where in the summer flowers grow
But where in winter lies the shroud
Of snow.
There rest the ola and young, so

The old were tutors in the school
of life;
Alas, must repeat the sad adieu!
The young departed ere the pres
ent strife
Of nations; the horizon Of the East
Was free from war-clouds and be-
tokened peace
Companions of the school or shop or
church,
Here are the tokens if each rest

Their names I read as mid the stones

And then recall the features of

Where once these wrought who now

So we pass on. each at the appointed

phraze,
But now his body lies beneath that
urn,
And we shall meet on the celestial
ways;
Such is the wish and such the con-
slant hope
Foreseen by this, the Christmas hor-
oscope.
AS In times past the Christmas joys
were bright,
These other days too other faces

And angels still Good news are

joke. There are other proposals
which Germany would, never, hear,
even were she standing on her last
legs which is not the case. The
Spectator wants the GerlA colonies
to remain ever in the hanuSA. of the
Entente allies. Germany could never
consider such a proposition. In any
discussion of the war little mention is
made of the loss Germany has suffered
through being deprived of her colonies.
Yet that is where Germany is crippled.
All her colinies are lost as matters
stand today In any terms of peace
she must make arrangements to get
these colonies back, otherwise all her
endeavors will have been in vain.
Not to secure control Of these colonies
again would be a blow to Germany
more severe than what the Allies have
lost in northern France and all the
other territory in the war zone

Legends OF The Black
Sea Isle Of Serbenfs

1T Is related that Thetis gave
this island to Achilles and that he
still inhabits it. His temple and
status, both of very ancient workman
ship, are seen there No human be-
ing, dwells on it; it has only few
goats which mariners convey to it as
votive offerings. Other offerings or
sacred gifts are suspended in honor
Of Achilles, such as vases, rings and
precious gems.
'Seabirds, divers and fowl innu-
merable frequent the island and the
birds alone have the care of the
shrine. Every morning they repair
to the sea, and, dipping their wings
in the waves, sprinkle the temple and
afterwards sweep with their plumage
its sacred pavement
''The name Island of Serpents grew
out of the fact that numerous black
snakes from four to five feet long
were discovered here by mariners.
Many OF the reptiles are said to have
fallen in the cisterns Of the island
and polluted the waters which are
now undrinkable. 1t is interesting
to recall in connection with the
name of the island that Achilles was
often referred to as the snake born
and that his mother Thetis frequently
assumed the form of a snake.
THE Amazons are supposed to have
attempted to seize this island on one
occasion, but the ghost of Achilles
appeared and so terrified the horses
of the female warriors that the riders
were thrown and severely tramp1ed
upon, whereupon the expedition was
Abandoned
This fneager rock brought Eng
land and Russia to the verge of war
so years ago, following the treaty of
peace which ended the Crimean con-
fict. The island was not mentioned
in the terms of the treaty and when
Turkey sent a small party to relight
the lighthouse which had been dark
throughout the struggle of 1886
Russia attempted to take control of
the beacon which stands as a guide
post to the Danubes mouths. Eng

the Black Sea to enforce her de-
mands in behalf of her recent ally,
the sultan. Russia after a brief
threat of resistance, Yielded The

not thought of years ago. Inc statue
on top Of the monument is symbolic
of winged victory, so what is more
appropriate than it be illuminated by
night that it may stand out during
the hours Of darkness even as 1T does
during the hours of light? The
monument, which is memorial to
the soldiers and sailors of this city
who sacrificed their lives on the bat
tlefields Of the civil war, is UNIQUE IN
that it is radically different from 9TH

country Instead Of being the mod

a reproduction Of the ancients' peace
monuments and stands as model
of classical architecture. Near the
top of the monument are gilded re-
pleas Of the mythical fires of eternal

Is more fitting than that Winged Vic
tory surrounding the statue blaze
forth in all her glory at night? From
every angle 1T is desirable to retain
this light. The cost would be so
small as to be negligible, and it is
not at all unlikely that the lighting
com pany might consent to keep this
single bulb burning at night free Of
charge, considering the large contract
1t already has with the city. It will
be remembered that for many years
the New Britain Gas Light company
kept the gas lamps around the monm-
ment base burning at night gratis.

Inspection of an experimental piece
Of treated wood-block pavement laid

In cooperation with the forest ser
vice and various lumber manufacture
ers and wood-preserving companies.
has revealed the fact that white
birch is wearing as well as longleaf
pine, and that sapwood of timber if
well treated is practically as durable
as heartwood. Data thus far record
ed and analysed at the Forest Prod
ucts Laboratory at Madison, Wis, in
dictate that in order of efficiency the
six species used in the experiment
rank as follows: Longleaf pine and
white birch, Norway pine, tamarack
and eastern hemlook, and western
larch. Douglas fir blocks were also
included in the experiment. but were
laid at later date than the other spe-
cies and no definite conclusions in re-
gard to their relative durability can
be drawn at this time. According to
bulletin issued by the United States
Forest Service, when this pavement
was laid the traffic on it was princi-
pally stee1-tired, horse drawn trucks,
with few motor vehicles 1t now con-
sists of light and heavy motor vehicles
with only a few orse-drawn trucks
| For this reason it is probable that the

IN THE HANDS OF THE COURT.

Pending a decision by the United
States Supreme court as to the valid
ity of the new Eight Hour law the
railroads after conference with the
men have decided to keep record of
their wage DISBURSEMENTS from Janu-
airy 1 until the Supreme Court de-
cides one way or another. If the de-
cision is to the effect that the law is
valid the railroads will pay their men
back pay sufficient to meet the de-
mands originally stated.
This seems the fairest way out of a
situation that once promised havoc for
the entire country. The negotiations
between the railroad companies and
their employees have been called off.
There is no need now of further de-
bate on any old scores. The United
States Supreme Court alone is re-
sponsible for what conditions are to
exist, and that decision will be final
Once it is delivered both sides to the
controversy may feel satisfied that
Justice has been dispensed to all.
Recent action taken by both sides in
the now famous railroad controversy
of the past few months lead to the be-
lief that whatever is the decision of
the supreme Court there will be no
radical d1spleasure evinced by either
party to the quarrel Railroad man
ayers as we'll as the men who operate
the trains know that the rights Of all
will be safeguarded by the highest tri-
bunal in the world
