"GIBRALTAR OF THE BALTIC"
Powerful Fortress of Sveaborg, Guard
ing the Gulf of Finland, Has Been
Frequently So Called.

After more than 1S months Of naval
war upon the Baltic sea between the
fleets of Germany and Russia, the first
successful shot has yet to be fired
against the mighty fortress of Svea-
borg, which guards the neck of the
Gulf of Finland, and the water ap-
proaches to the Russian capital, says
a bulletin issued by the National Geo
graphic society at Washington. Svea-
borg, best known as the Gibraltar Of
the Baltic" powerfully secures Its
holders control to all the wide basin
of the Gulf of Finland, thus giving
them a most important base for dis
putting the control of the northern
inland sea. 1t was the acquisition of
this stronghold that constituted the
strongest impeling force in Musco-
vite politics toward the conquest Of
Finland from the Swedes.
Across the neck of the gulf from
Sveaborg lies Reval, the seat of other
powerful shore defenses and Of i'm
portant Russian navy yards. These
two points block the way from the
Baltic against any naval power al
most as securely as the forts Kilid
Bahr and Chanak Kalessi blocked the
English ships at the Dardaneles.
Reval is situated on a sharp bay at
the northeastern gulf shore of Es-
tonia. Sveaborg fortress stands just
before Helsingfors, the capital Of Fin
land.
There are hundreds Of small, thick
ly wooded islands strewn over the
coastal waters around HelsingfOrs. 1t
Is upon a group of seven of such is
lands, which are larger than their
neighbors, that the almost impregna-
BILE Sveaborg fortress is built More
over, small redoubts and batteries are
we'll concealed in several Of the out
lying islands which surround, like a
thinly-fung skirmish line, the fortress
near the coast.
Many vain seaward attack has
shattered against Sveaborg's defenses
in bygone days, and in recent years
Russia has brought the strength or
Illt DldCt up W "tHlit'h 'Nhih'y ~
quirements. 1t is said that moro than
1000 guns are mounted here and sew
eral thousand soldiers are quartered
in the fortress even in times OF peace.
During the Crimean war the allies at
tackled this point violently and with
out success. The story goes that Eng
lish guns alone hurled more than
thousand tons of shot and shell into
the fortress. almost without apparent
effect. 1t has fallen only once, and
then bribery is credited with victory
and not the force of arms. 1t sur
rendered to the Russians without an
effort at defense, surrendering at the
same time that its garrison of 5000
men laid down their arms and turned
over their formidable defenses, the
whole country OF Finland.

SAMOANS INITIATE EUROPE
They Wear Civilized Clothing and
Eat Fancy Food-Native Homes
Now Made of Sawed Pine.

The natives of Samoa are exhibiting
a marked inclination to initiate Euro
pean manners. The beautiful siapos.
hallowed by age-long usage, are dis
appearing more and more, their places
being taken by imported cloth. Wom-
en- and girls like to put on greater
quantities of European wearing ap'
parel.
In the vicinity of Apia native Sa.
moan house and kitchen utensils have
been replaced by European articles Of
less worth. New foods are being in
troduced. Instead of taro, bananas
and yams, the natives now eat rice,
biscuits and bread, and even drink
coffee in the morning. The new foods
however have but limited number OF
consumers at present.
The native huts were formerly GOV.
cred with thatches Of sugar cane. In.
sects have destroyed the sugar-cane
plantations, and the natives now cover
their dwellings with corrugated iron,
which gives them much less protection
against the sun during the day and
against the cold at night. The Samo.
an house is disappearing, too, and its
place is being taken by square build
ings of American pine.
The total native population Of the
Samoan group is about $4,000. There
are 1900 whites and half-castes.

GOALS OF
FIRE
BY ROYCE HAMILTON
1916. by W. G. Chapman

Society in Freelands turned up its
collective nose at little Ella La Monte.
The said Society consisted of the rec
tors lady, the doctor lady, three or
four other ladies' who had followed
their spouses 10 Freelands from the
East and Mrs. Andrew Germaine, the
wife of the big speculator.
To understand the cause Of this in
tense antipathy one must search into
the roots of human nature. Frcelands

that are in the transition stage be.

Naturally the respectable element,
which was engaged i'll uplifting the
status of the town looked asknnce at
this state Of affairs.
But Eta La Monte had the hardi
hood to be the most attractive of the
unclassed girls III Freelands. She had
drifted into the town from nowhere in
particular and secured a job behind
the bar of Pig" Mahoney's English
style saloon Ousted by indignant
feminine protests, she had danced

nightly at Jim Bronson's cabaret. Her
circle of admirers included not "A few

La Monte danced like fairy, and her
voice was Irresistible whether she
sang the latest ragtimc melody or
some old ballad calculated 10 raise

Her crowning insolence had been
her appearance behind stall at the
ladies' bazaar.
81 don't see what's wrong with the
girl" protested Rev. Arthur Smith, the
earnest young clergyman. 1--WE been
to call at her place. She supports her
widowed mother and appears perfectly
respectable in private life. She says
she isn't allowed to work in saloon,
and she can't do anything but dance"
"If you dare to speak to that crea-
ture again" replied the wife Of An
drew Germaine, you may as well give
up your church, because nobody will

when that wicked gambler Smith COM
mitted murder last month he hid three
days in her house before getting
away"
She told me she had never set eyes
on him." protested the young clergy
man.
"She lied, of course. All those wom-
en- shelter the criminal element in
those rookeries down by the yards"
But the rising anger against Eta
was forgotten few days later in the
first big excitement that had stirred
Freelands, for Andrew Germaine, the
big man, who held the town in the
hollow of his hand, absconded with
eight million dollars.
His gold mines, fifty miles away, on
which Freeands had lived, which
alone had justified it's construction in
that arid desert, had never had gold
in them except for few pockets here
and there. 1t had all been a colossal
fraud from the beginning. All the
prosperity of F'reelands was built up
on Germaine's mythical gold. Every
one lost nearly everything. There was
no store, no saloon, even, but suffered
in the crash. The six banks closed
their doors.
The anger of Freelands blazed out
white-hot against Germaine. Men
gathered in the streets and talked Of
iynching. The man was reported hur-
rying East, hurrying West; the police
of every western city were watching
for him. And of all who suffered,
none suffered more than Lucia Ger
maine, who had known nothing of her
husbands business affairs.
All day she sat in the big house,
weeping, trying to revive her hope that
the monstrous story was lie. But
dozen little things told her that it was
true. He had deceived her, too, as he
had deceived everybody.
And yet she loved him. She loved
him better now that he was down. She
wanted only to find him. to 60 with

HOW SLEUTHS MARK MONEY
Pinpricks Made In Certain Places on
Currency Gives Evidence That
Usually ConvIcts.

In their surveillance and apprehen.
sion of suspected persons government
secret service officers often find II
necessary to make the money han.
died by such persons. There are va.
rious methods of 80 marking the ma.
tional currency, one of the most novel
of which is the pinprick.
The note to be marked is, say, the
S. silver certificate bearing the vi
gnette of an Indian chief in his full re.
gala of feathers and trappings and
presenting a full-face view. With the
aid of pin the secret service man
makes two punctures in the bill di.
rectly in the pupils Of the Indians
eyes. TO the casual and sometimes
even critical inspector Of the note
these pinpricks are invisible If raised
to the light however, the bill will
distinctly reveal them.
The markings are complicated by
the following process: The pinpoint
is applied in the twist" of the large
figure at the two upper corners of
the note. These tiny twists do not ap.
pear in the ''necks' of the two fig.
ures 5 that are at both ends Of the
bottom of the note. The note is now
pierced again, this time in the ends
of the scrolls on each side Of the word
five in the lower center Of the bill.
The marking Is now complete. In Sc.
cret it is exhibited to one or more per.
sons for purposes of Identification and
is then placed in the till or money
drawer to which the suspected person
has access.
1t is said that the pinpricks will re-
main perfect for some time. When
such bills are produced in court and
their markings are explained under
oath, conviction is practically certain

How Rainfall Affects Crops.

The enormous value of rainfall to
the agriculturist is set forth by E. ],
Cragoe in the Journal Of Geography.
He calculates that the increase in the
wheat crop In the Dakotas, California,
Washington, Kansas and Nebraska foi
each inch of rainfall above four
inches in Nay and June represents a
value of about $15,000,000. The fig.
ures for corn are more impressive;
one inch of rainfall above three inches
in July in Indiana, Illinois, Kansas,
Iowa, Ohio and Nebraska, increases
the value OF the crop by $3.50, 100000.
Moreover it was found that when the
July rainfall averaged less than 3.4
inches the yield Of corn averaged ten
bushels less to the acre than when It
was more than "A inches. This rep
resents an increased value of about
$2500O0,00O.

Diet of Troops.

It Is remarked in the European
armies that by reason of faulty and
defective alimentation the fighting
men show an unusual amount of dis
eases of functional impairment and
that night blindness Is particularly
prevalent among the trench fighters.
Much of this functional impairment
is said to be due to the unbalanced
diet of the troops; that Is, lack OF
variety, and in winter to special
lack of vegetables. The best-fed SOL
dier in Europe Is doubtless the Briton,
who has ration in which there Is
not only a sufticiency of meat, but
fruits and vegetables are not forgot
ten. The Munich Medical Weekly
records the fact that in the German
army night blindness Is more marked
in winter than in summer. The pa
per recommends the use of fresh fruit
Juices to make good this deficiency In
the winter months. Citric acid lem
onade is not favored, however, as 1t
is an artificial product which contains
no "vitamines," that is, has none OF
the properties that contribute strength
and energy to human life.

Oil Surplus Is Waste,

One of the causes of the lubricant
working out from the differential case
between the axles and tubes of the
automobile to the brakes and wheels
is due to using too large a supply Of
oil or grease in the differential case.
1t is not necessary to completely fill
the housing, only to a point where
the large gear will! dip into the lubri-
cant. If the leakage continues, fit felt
washers at the differential and wheel
ends of the axles.
AS the wire employed for ignition
purposes is composed of a large nun.
Der of fine strands of copper, it IS I'M
portant that they should be soldered
to a terminal or connection to avoid
the possibility of any of the strands
coming in contact with metal and
causing a short circuit.

him somewhere where they could start
life anew. Eta La Monte, who had
been her keenest incentive to anger
in the old days. was forgotten.
On the fourth night the young cler-
gyman called on her. At first she re-
fused to see him. When he persisted
she came down.
Il am going to take you to your hus'
band" he said. Mrs. Germane, he
himself was deceived by his associ-
ates. 1t will all come right But now,
to give himself up means his death at
the hands of a mob. He is going to
the state capital at midnight on board
the express by special arrangement.
1t will stop for him at the water tank.
Pack suitcase and come"
He led her along the streets remOt-
est from the central thoroughfares,
where she would not be recognized,
into neighborhood where she had
never been. But she did not know
that the little shack they entered was
Eta La Monte's until Lucia Germaine
saw and recognized the girl who stood
nervously before her. Then her anger
famed out
"My husband is here?" she cried.
"How dared you bring him here?"
But before the girl could answer, the
curtains at the back of the room part
ed and Andrew Germaine entered. He
was the wreck of the former buoyant,
jaunty, prosperous business man, at
whose appearance all hats were lifted.
But Lucia Germaine cared nothing
for that. With sob she ran forward
and fell into his protecting arms.
Andrew, why did you come here?"
she wept What is this woman to
you?"
Eta La Monte answered that ques-
ton.
III tell you why he came here" she
answered. Because he didn't have
time to get away and was afraid for
his life. Because they all come to me
when they're in trouble, when they
don't dare to go to their own families.
He was steered to me by just about
world. And when he knew where he
was he was afraid all the time | was
going to betray him. Weren't you,
Andy?
"But I'll tell you why | took him in
and sheltered him." continued Eta.
1T was because | thought he was Jim
Smith, the man who shot his pal over
game of cards. After | found out
who he was"
Eta"
A keenfaced old woman stood in
the room, wrnked and avaricious-
looking.
Now you be quiet, ma" She turned
to Lucia again "After | knew who he
was pitied him and let him stay. But
do you suppose I'd have had him in
my house if had known from the be-
ginning? That's all. You can take
him away as fast as you like"
Eta"
Eta La Monte pulled the old woman
out of the room.
Eta" she walled, you didn't tell
them that we've lost two thousand dol.
lars, every cent we had, in them gold
mines"
"Ah. what's the use, ma? He wouldn't
understand, nor pay up, neither.
Perhaps the girls revenge on Lucia
Germaine was worth that much to her.

ing, but one cannot always get back

Scared by Canary.

II after spending a night In the
street OF many lights, you should be
awakened by something tweeting on
your bedpost, you naturally would fear
the worst had happened, wouldn't you?
Someone on the tenth floor of the
Waldorf. Astoria kicked up an awful
noise during the early hours the other
morning, says the New York Times.
He summoned clerks, bellhops, por'
ters and detectives to his aid When
they reached his room they found the
sojourner covered beneath quilts eX'
pecting any minute to have pink ele'
phant or giraffe lick his face. The
cause of his fright was a canary.
There it was, perched on the rail OF
his bed, fluttering and tweeting and
enjoying its freedom. After the bell
hop had captured it, the sojourner
called for a bracer and then swore
good behavior forever afterward. Dur.
ing a banquet at the hotel the other
night some of the members in mo.
ments of incongruous activity opened
a few of the cages and let the ca.
naries fit out into the room. Since
then canary has been appearing here
and there in the hotel at annoying in
tervals and frightening sleepers.

STORAGE In Cato's Day.

Storage of crops against favora.
BILE time for selling appears to be no
new idea. We find a grain of sound
advice in Cato's writings 1000 years
ago:
Let your buildings be proportioned
to your estate. 1t is fitting that the
farm buildings should be well con-
structed, that you should have ample
of cellars and wine watts, and a good
supply of casks, so that you can wait
for high prices, something that will
rebound to your honor, your profit
and your self-respect"
Evidently the problem of getting the
best prices was then, as now, a ques.
ton Of providing storage facilities, eli,

Millions In Flax.

At the present time about 100000
acres are devoted to the raising OF
fax, chiefly in North Dakota, Mime
sofa, South Dakota and Montana. The
flax is grown primarily for the seed
from which linseed oil is manufac-
tured. The annual crop amounts to
about 100000 bushels of seed and
is valued at approximately $33OOO,OOO.
The crop also yields approximately
100000 tons of straw, but of this on
ly about 100000 tons are put to any
profitable use.
