MT. MCKINLEY VIEWS
 THE BEST EVER

F. w. Sheelor has printed some of the panoramic views he recently se- cured on his trip to Mckinley and the town of Anchorage and to say they are beauties is drawing it too mild. They are too grand for comprehen- sion. The Mt. Mckinley picture shows all Mt. Foraker and foothills of the vast mountain, and peak after peak stretches back until lost in the clouds in the distance. The picture is five feet long by one foot high and is re- markedly clear and distinct.
 The picture of the new railroad town of Anchorage reminds one of the old mining towns of Nevada and Colorado in the early days. It is a splendid panoramic view of the entire city and is a revelation to one who has thought Anchorage but a small village.
 Mir. Sheelor is deluged with orders and is working night and day to get out his prints and get away to Skag- way, where he will embark on his picture-taakins trip down the Yukon ito Michael.

SUPPLY GROWING VERY SHORT

AMSTERDAM, Holland, May 3O.- Dispatches received here report food riots in many parts of Germany. At Frankfort-on-Main yesterday hun dreds of women of the working class es attacked the stores and markets clamoring for food, the shortage of which has become serious. Prices of most foodstuffs have become almost prohibitive and the poorer people are suffering from the want of the actual necessities of life.
 The police succeeded in restoring order, but did not resort to the usual harsh measures. fearing an uprising if the women were injured.

CASTLE WILLIAMS.
History of the Ancient Fertilization on
 Governors island.

History of the Ancient Fertilization on
 Governors Island.
 All New Workers and most visi- tors to the city, especially those who approach it from the sea, are famil- far with the old round fort on Governors island in the city's upper harbor. The name of the fort is properly Castle Williams, although it is frequently and erroneously call ed Castle William. The history of the ancient fertilization, now value- less as a city defense, is given in 'sMilitary History of Governors Island," by Edmund Banks Smith:
 Castle Williams was begun in 1907 and completed in 1911, as the crumbling dates in the stone over the gateway set forth. It was de- signed and built by Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Williams, engi- neer corps. The material of the castle is Newark red sandstone. It rests on a bed of rock at the ex- treme northwesterly point of the island. In form it is three-fifths of a circle, 200 feet in diameter. The walls are forty feet in height, casemated with bombproof arches for two tiers of guns. Guns are also mounted on the top, to which access is had by two interior stone turret staircases., The walls are eight feet thick on the lower tier and seven feet on the upper tier. Tie arches are thirteen in number and are of thirty feet span, two feet thick and twenty-four feet long.
 The cross walls are seven feet thick between the arches and twelve feet at the termination of the segment. The guns are mount ed in such a manner that the center of motion is immediately under the muzzle of the guns, so that, al- though the angle of fire is fifty-four degrees, the mouth of the gun occu- pies always' the same place, which permits the throat of the embrasure to be so small that shot could not pass between the gun and it's side and the lines of fire cross at twenty feet distance.
 The wall arches are turned over each pair of embrasures, so that if it were possible for the enemy's fire to batter break into the lower tier the upper one would rest upon those arches and exhibit the appearance of bridge composed of very solid tiers. The outside cut of the wall is laid in Flemish bond and each stone dovetailed in such a manner that no one could be dislocated without first being broken to pieces. It contained in 1912 two stone pow der magazines and an inexhaustible we'll of finest water, from which all the shipping might be watered with ease.

Homemade Paste.

What child does not like to cut out pictures and paste them? Here is an inexpensive paste that will keep indefinitely. If it gets too thick add some cold water and cook and stir until it is smooth.
 A cupful of flour, teaspoonful of powdered alum, half cupful of cold water, two cupfuls of boiling water, two tablespoonfuls of lime water, few drops of oil of cloves or wintergreen. Mix the alum, flour and cold water and beat until per fectly smooth. Add the boiling wa ter slowly, stirring all the time. Place on the stove and stir until it boils, then put in double cooker and cook about thirty minutes, stirring often. Keep in covered jars or cans. Rural New Yorker.

WILL COMPLY
 WITH DEMANDS WILL STOP MAIL SEIZURES Information from Official Sources Is to the Effect that Britain Will Comply with the Terms of American Not4, -Occasions Some Surprise.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 3O.- Advices received here state that Great Britain will meet the demands of the American note on the seizure and ex- animation of American mails. No in timation is given as to what steps the government will take, but it is said that the reply will be satisfactory in every respect to President Wilson.
 The report is said to have it's origin in official circles, and it's receipt here has occasioned some surprise, as it was anticipated that the British gov ernment would attemtp to delay mat ters for time, particularly in view of the fact that prominent British States men have stated that Britain would not recede from her present stand in this matter. The British reply is awaited with considerable interest.

The x Ray.

The X ray, so called, was discov- cred on Oct. 8, 1895, by Professor W. c. Roentgen. The professor was experimenting with Crookes vacu- um tube, electrically excited, and enveloped in a black covering, when he noticed that some of the rays proceeding from the tube passed through the black paper and affect ed fluorescent screen some two or three yards away. In such way did his great discovery come to him, when he was least expecting it.

Psrfor.ted Stamp shssts.

Perforated sheets of. postage stamps were unknown before 1854. Until that year postage stamps were issued in sheets, which the purchas- CT had to cut up in any way he found convenient. The perforating machine was invented by an Irish man named Archer. When it was submitted to the British govern ment the treasury offered him $3,- 900 for his patent rights. As Archer had spent over four years in per fecting this machine, this offer was indignantly rejected. Eventually Ar cher was awarded $20,000.

GOOD ROADS
PRAISE FOR AMERICAN ROADS
ways of Many European Countries Much Work in Progress.

We Americans are prone to over estimate and sometimes to boast of that which we have" says J. M. Linscott, New England agent for a large motor car company. At least that is the accusation made by our Flu ropean cousins. 1 sometimes wonder if it is just. I wonder if we do not more often underestimate our posses sions and cur achievements. We really are a wonderful country, you know, and with full allowance for our short comings, wonderful people, too. So rather think we are justified in some of our boastfulness. It is an attri- bute of youth, and evidence of a good healthy youthful enthusiasm.
 "Apropos of what?" you ask.
 Well, of roads, for example.
 "We are accustomed to saying that we have the worst roads in the world. and to hold up as an example of model roads the centuries-old highways of Europe.
 T have found in talking with Ameri- cans who have toured abroad that most of them will give as examples of model highways few main trav- eled roads. But ask them about the general roads of any country and they will either tell you they do not know, or if perchance one has happened to lose his way and got on to one of the byways, he will admit that they are about as bad as has ever been seen in Michigan or Nebraska.
 Your travelled American will ex- patiate at great length on the wonder ful roads of France. And they are wonderful. That is to say, some of them are. At that the total mileage of really good roads in that country is much less than most people imag inc. We journeyed over cobbleston , roads that would shake your teeth loose-and that in romantic Nor mandy, too.
 The roads in the British isles are excellent, but after all New England has more, and they are just as good despite the climatic conditions that favor the former. The Rhine routei in Germany is all that has been claimed fer it, but we have our roads up the Hudson to match it-and who shall say whether the scenery on the Rhine or the Hudson is more beautiful, since both are magnificent beyond descrip- tion?
 The Texas road is made of crushed sea shells, which make perfect sur face, while the Italian road is com posed of powdered marble from the
