TransyIvania Ruled by Magyar.

PENNSYLVANIA. which is the prize that
Roumania hoped to take as result of
her participation in the war, was first
heard of in history as part OF the
ancient Roman province Of Dacia.
Later it was incorporated in the old
German empire. but in the sixteenth
century John Zapoly, aided by the
Turks, set up an Independent govern
ment.
This continued with many vicissi-
tudes until 1899. when Emperor Leo
pold I. incorporated Pennsylvania into
the Austrian dominions. In 1S4S Tran
svIvania, for all political and admin
istrative ends. was incorporated with
Hungary.
The Magyars, although in minority,
constitute the ruling class. and the
Roumanians, who are the largest ele-
ment Of the population, have been kept
in subsection and have been given few
political and educational advantages.
This has naturally aroused great dis
content, and the majority Of Transyl-
yanians would welcome the incorpora-
ton Of their country into greater

Importance of Lorraine

One of tire greateI blows which
could hoe struck at Germany in this war
would be the capture Of the iron min
ing fields in Lorraine which produce
about so per cent Of all the iron ore
produced by German mines. Converse
~, one OF the aims OF Germany in the
war rs doubtless TO obtain possession
Of the rich mines Of France across the
border from German Lorraine. The
French mines Of Rriey were overlooked
by BlsTnG REX because in 1871 they could
not ne prOfitably operated. \ few years
later the discovery of new processes
Tor dephosphorizing pig IRON gave to
the Brley mines an even greater value
than those in Lorraine The import
ance Of the latter iron field can be un-
derstood when il IS considered that.
during the year preceding the war.
2s,l35.000 tons OF iron ore were mined
in Lorraine. out OF total Of 28.sO7 900
tons produced IN the entire empire.

Our African Colony.

The first attempt to found an Afrl-
can settlement for liberated slaves was
made 100 years ago today, when Sierra
Leone. on the west coast Of Africa, was
organized for that purpose. DR..
Smeathman was the author Of the
scheme. and Captain Thompson. IN
1856. purchased the territory from
King Tom" of the Timmanehs and
commenced the settlement with 400
negroes and sixty Europeans.
The hostility OF the natives and the
shiftlessness Of the black colonists re-
suited in the complete failure Of the
first attempt. In 1871 the survivors
were collected and a new settlement
was started, with colony of 200
negroes from Nova Scotia and the Ba-
hamas. The American negroes were
much more successful, and Sierra
Leone is now a prosperous colony In
1872 a similar colony was established
to the south Of Sierra Leone. and 1t
became the refuge for freed blacks OF
the United States. as Sierra Leone had
been for those of British possessions.
The American colony became the in
dependent republic Of Liberia in 1s47.

IN Lorraine are in a narrow stretch of
country some twenty miles long and
from three to five miles in breadth.
lying between the Franco Luxembourg
frontier and the River Orne. In this
district German engineers have built
some OF their most formidable defense
works. for IT is realized that the loss of
these mines would practically seal the
fate of Germany, To hold the Lorraine
iron mines and the territory taken from
the French which contains iron is one
OF the great objects of German STRAIT
egy, and it explains much in their mill
tary tactics which otherwise might
have been uninteliigible. 1t has been
pointed out by German authority that
Were the mining operations in Lor
raine to receive any setback the war
would be half lost thereby" This is
rather an understatement than an ex-
asgeration. for it is likely that the loss
of that narrow sector in Lorraine
would prove to be the final blow to
German hopes, since iron is one of the
a absolute necessities OF warfare.

THE HANDLE PLANT.

Knobs and crooks on the handles Of
umbrellas and canes, which are both
ornamental as well as convenient, are
not so entirely accidentally as one
might think The art Of producing
such sticks to order constitutes Sc
rious agricultural industry, there be-
ing, for instance, nearly 500 acres of
land devoted TO this purpose in that
division OF France known as Soine-et-
Disc.
The principal trees for this purpose
are oak, ash, poplar or maple. They
are cut at the ground level so that at
the foot OF each trunk a number of
saplings viii sprout The following
year, preferably In the spring the
bark of these saplings is cut in such
a manner as to lnscribe various de-
signs, which remain engraved on the
wood AT the end OF three years they
are cut, stripped Of branches, dried in
the sun, and subjected to a bath of
hot steam and the bark stripped off
The sticks are Strengthened by be-
ing placed in an atmosphere of moist
heat and then are cut to suitable
lengths. and are then ready to be pol
ished, vanished and supplied with
proper mOuntaings.
