LIBERIA is NOD A WRECK

Galveston, Texas, Feb. 16-The
steamship Liberia, of the Akin Trad

c. Sam planned to take many Okla
homa and Texas negro colonists to the
Gold Coast of Africa, is at anchor in
the harbor of Anamaboe and not to-

This is the information brought by
Captain Lee of the British steamship
Martazan, here from Sierra Leone.
The Liberia, says Captain Lee, has
been idle for months and Chief Sam
is apparently the only person on board.
He says that the vessel is so heavily
encumbered by debts and has deteri-
Grated so rapidly that there is little
hope of her ever being put to any

NIGHTS BEAUTY Is HIDDEN
Few Artists Have Been Given the
Ability to Depict Its Proper
Glory and Majesty.

One of the perpetual regrets OF
painters is the unattainable beauty OF
night. Whistler's successful Noe
turnes are of early twilight.
The later hour, when the worlds
vast shadow weighs on us, seems I'M
realizable in paint.
Even Crome, perhaps the greatest
master of nightfall pictures, could not
go beyond the twilight.
The perfect medium for darkness
was discovered by Turner, whose set
of engraved Moonlights are among the
most precious works that man has
made.
There are but about a dozen en-
graved and printed by the master.
They SO far transcend his colored
drawings, from which they were de-
rived, as to prove that black and
white can conjure up the spirit of
night more potently than color.
But they are not ordinary mezzo-
tints; they are creative rather than
reproductive; no one but Turner could
have done them, nor could he have
communicated their secret to his en-
gravers.

land is in position to know that
peace in Europe Is a remote POSSIBLE
ity. And her own position, geograph-
ically and every other way, is very
difficult one.
What The Hague Is Like.
The Hague is one of the smallest
and least distinguished capitals in
Europe. 1t is really only a suburb of
Rotterdam, for it is but twenty-five
minutes ride by electric train. 1t
has a population of about 100000 Its
most imposing pile is the unused
Peace palace. The Royal palace
looks more like a barracks than a
queens residence.
However, The Hague gives one the
impression of being quite an impor-

| there was enough German in 1t for me
to catch a few of the Jokes, which
were about the war.
After the theater went to the Cafe
Central which is the principal rendez-
vous for the well-to-do Hollanders,
wealthy refugees and international
spies. If one is fond Of gin and bit
ters-the national drink of Holland
the Cafe Central is not half bad. But
the Dutch beer served there is great
disappointment after the wonderful

cause the ships of his line had been

It is interesting to know that con-
scription Is in force in Holland today.
Before the war the young men of
each district drew lots to determine
who should serve and who shouldn't.
Today every youth must serve in the
army unless physically unfit. Never

tant little place, especially in the early
hours of the evening. Then the mar
row little streets in the heart of the
city are thronged with people and the
hotels and coffee houses are filled to
overlooking. OF course, there are
plenty of uniforms in evidence, but
what is even more noticeable is the
Austrians and English who are on
every side. Like all neutral capitals
on the continent, The Hague Is a clear
ing house for spies. All the Germans,
Belgians, Austrians and English one
sees are not spies, but many of them
are. They do not keep to themselves,
as one might expect, but chat with
each other across the tables in the
coffee houses and bars.
German, Belgian and English news
papers are sold in the streets. and in
large numbers, for the reason that
there is nothing in the Dutch papers
but rumors. Two Belgian papers,
rEcho Beige and La Belgique, are
published in Holland, but the Berlin
and London papers, especially the Ber-
liner Tageblatt and the London Times,
have the call because larger proper
ton of the population reads and
speaks either English or German.
The Hotel des Indies, which is the
best hotel in Holland, is the mecca OF
the members of the diplomatic corps.
It's prices have advanced slightly since
the war owing to the increased de-
mand for accommodations. In gener-
al, however, restaurant prices are the
same as they were two years ago, and
one can have a Dutch treat for very
little money.

ELDER NOT ALWAYS THE BEST
Modern Science Has Thoroughly Dis
proved a Belief That Was Held
for Many Centuries.

There was a time when the eldest
son was supposed to be superior in
all respects to his younger brothers.
That time is past Modern science
has proved that when there is any
difference the eldest son averages
somewhat behind later-born children
in mental strength and Ofttimes in
physical endurance.
Does this, perchance, help to ex-
plain why hereditary government is
SO unsatisfactory; why the direct
royal line SO frequently runs out and
the crown shifts to the descendants
of some younger brother; why the
first prince of a new line is SO often
superior to any of his successors?
Under the royal rule the eldest son
of the eldest son takes the crown. II
there is even a trifling handicap in
being the first born the constant null
tiplication of this handicap would
raise it to considerable proportions In
q few generations.
The Turks avoided whatever evils
may lurk in the law of primogeni-
ture. They allowed the sultan to
name his successor, but provided that
this successor must be the son OF a
slave. In practice he was usually one
of the younger sons of the monarch,
and always the child of woman who
had wit or beauty enough to make
herself the leader of the harem. AS
a result Turkey had the most wonder
full succession of able sovereigns
known in history, but the palace in
trigues and fratricidal wars to which
the custom gave rise proved intoler
able
