Great English Sailors.

The Elizabethan era is renowned In
English history not only for it's litera-
ture but for England's growing power
upon the sea, and especially for its
hardy and skilled seamen, observes a
writer in the Washington POST Most
notable among these were Sir Francis
Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh and his
half-lHOthers. Drake was the first to
put into practice the policy Of weaken
ing Spain by attacking her in America.
Drake it was who made the great voy-
age around the earth in 1880. Eight
years afterward he took an important
part in the most momentous event of
the century in which he lived-the de-
feat Of the Spanish armada. The de-
feat of this armada had been pro-
nounced the opening event in the his
tory of the United States. From that
moment North America was open to
colonization, with little danger of him
drance from the Spaniards. Sir Wal
ter Raleigh must ever be considered
the father of English colonization on
the soil of the United States"

Banana 10 City efaFuture.

At the mouth Of the great KongO
river, here as wide as an arm Of the
sea, stands the important city with
the; picturesque name of Banana. The
Importance Of Banana lies in the fu-
ture rather than the present. 1t is the
port Of entry to that immense wilder.
ness filled with a thousand undevelep-
ed possibilities known as the Belgian
kongo. If Belgium comes through the
war with her African empire intact
Banana will probably grow into the
leading Belgian colonial metropolis. At
present 1t is little. more, than q. name
and possibility. ..:,s - -. .
Banana consists of IN excellent nat.
ural harbor and village Of a few
score hOmesick Europeans. Consider
ing the importance Of Kongo trade
even today 1t is surprising that local
development has not gone. farther.
There ia"no adequate wharf or pier.
There are no adequate unloading IA
cilities.' There are only stretches Of
sandy beach dotted with noble palms,
great fmangrove trees with their multi
tudinous earth gripping branches, a
pier Of r0tting and battered piles and
native cunoes with their ebony oars
men. The prospect Is beautiful In a
natural way, but there is a surprising
lack Of industrial development.

I ,as
Went to the Ant.

"Go to the ant, thou sluggard," said
the Wise Man. "Consider her ways,
and be wise |" Once there was slug
gard, and when he read these ringing
words he determined to take the Ec-
clesiast's advice. So he went to the
ant and started in to consider her
ways, says the Cleveland Plain Deal
or. But, unfortunately, he picked a
day in which the anteater was also
getting busy. And as the sluggard
considered, the anteater ate ants, as
was his nature. In fact, he didn't
cease eating untilGthe supply was ex-
hausted. Then the sluggard. went
back home and resumed his ancient
of smuggling. Having con-
sidered the ways Of the ant, he was
wise.

The History Of Pearls.

J00 91SSIoFy o. PeATIS.
1.-THE modern recognition of pearls,
dates back to about 900 B.. c.. but they
were known to yet older peoples, and
especially to those of the East" says
the author Of a book published under
the title, 1.-THE History of Pearls"
1.-THE Chinese records 60 still far
Their back, and oyster pearls were re-
ceived as tribute in the twenty-third
century B. G. It is probable TINT they
were found In the waters Of Ceylon
and India two thousand years ago, and
the Greeks of course knew the pearl
and recognized Its value. But 1t was
not: until the Roman empire was be-
ginning to rise that the knowledge of
the value Of the pearl became general.
It seems that in early times Britain
played its part ins the production Of
these gems, and Taeitus refersEt0 Brit
ish pearls, but calls them dull-colored
and dirty brown. Origen, on the con-
trary, declared that the pearls that
calnS4 from Britain held the second
rank in value. 1t was not, however.
until about the twelfth century that
pearls were used In England, when
they became conspicuous in church or

oriain Of 4 Popular Hymn.

The following illustration given by
D. L.. Moody suggests the true origin
of p. P. Bliss hymn, LET the Lower
Lights Be Burning" A ship on Lake
Erie, bound for Cleveland harbor, was
oyertaken by a storm, and as they
neared ethe port the pilot could only
see the upper light-the light from the
lighthouse streaming to them through
the storm and darkness. The lower
lights We're not burning-the pilot
could not see how to steer into the har-
Dor. It was impossible to sail back
again upon the lake; the ship had to
60 forward and for the want of the
lower lights along the shore the vessel,
now at the mercy Of the huge, rOaring
waves, was dashed to pieces on the
rocks, and many Of the crew persisted
before help could reach them. T. Z.
Bliss was associated in those early
days with d. L. Moody in Christian
work, and he must have heard Mr..
Moody use this illustration, which
gives beauty to it's meaning.

nunout Pit 10 Popular.

The dugout pit or potato storage
cellar is probably more widely used
than any other type of storage space.
Fitted with water-tight roof 1t is es.
pseially popular in, the central por'
lions Of the United States. In the arid
aud semi-arid sections type with sod
or dirt roof is in most general use. Az
q rule, the excavation for the cheaper
structures Of the dugout pit or cellar
type when erected on level or nearly
level land does not exceed three feet.
The soil removed from such an excava-

also for the roof. The cost Of con-
struction may be greatly modified, &C.

Scientists never have been able to
estimate the extent Of the seaweed

should wish to make this estimate Is
something for which We cannot an

WASTING FUEL.

JEFFERSON, Nov 1-(Editor Of the
Tribune)-The following clipping is
taken from the Springfield (Mass.)
Republican,:
"The Boston and Maine railroad, for
example, is accommodating all the loose
scrap wood along it's lines and in the
railroad yards for use in heating it's
stations, freight offices and shops, or
for use in any other place where wood
can be made to take the place of coal.
In this way thousands of tons Of coal
can be saved and enormous quantities
Of useless wood disposed of at no ex-
pense other than the cost of collecting
old railroad ties and timber in build
ings or freight cars that have Outlived
their usefulness. In more flush times
such material has been burned to get
rid of it. Gangs Of men have been for
some time occupied in gathering such
wood and preparing it for fireboxes Of
heating plants all along the line of the
railroad. In this way it is expected
that practically all the large passen-
ger stations will be heated during the
winter without using coal"
And l deem it of sufficient import
ance to call your attention and the
attention of your readers and govern
ment officials to it. 2. A. Church.

In the Nevsky Prospekt the inter-
nsinable procession was formed in two
columns, marching parallel with each
other and made up of groups of about
hundred men, women and children,
old and young, walking arm in arm,
according to the account Of an eyewit-
ness In Scribner's. The files were Of
equal length; and no troops could have
shown better alignment. At the head
Of each group, like captain leading
his company, walked a leader, who
wore a. wide red scarf crosswise, to
make him more easily :distinguishable.
When he lifted his hand the members
of his group went forward; when he
lowered it they stopped. 1t was ex-
actly like the order and discipline of

indeed, the soldiers did not, for one of
the strange things about this prodig-
ious. procession was: fhatEin, it civilians
and soldiers were mingled After some
groups Of w0lkmen came battalions OF
troops, then workingmen and women
again. This fusion Of soldiers and
civilians made an Impression which I
can never forget. And as they marched
they sang revolutionary hymns: ; asa
matter Of. course the: "NarseillaiseJ"
and also other songs which must have
been composed only recently, for the
marchers had. not had time to learn
the words by: heart, and some read
them from sheets which they carried
In their hands. The soldiers also
sang, and their Thousands Of deep
voices made chorus Of marvellous
power and sorority. s. 49, :. 49, ''':.
None Of these songs were fierce or
revengeful. On the contrary: they
were sad, profoundly sad--the accents
Of mourning and not Of hate.
No police, no marshals were needed
to control this manifestation. Those
who took part in 1t policed themselves,
and surely never was discipline better
maintained. ~. 49,.

of the incidents leading to the solu-
ton of the recent political crisis. Its
achievements represent permanent
political gain for the German people.
In view of the July and October hap
penings, the majority leaders were
convinced of the hopelessness of per-
hitting the old system to prevail.

the advice Of the latter the emperors'
plan for separating the chancellorship
and the presidency of the Prussian

Minister Won Kuehlmann had
also participated in the conferences.
Herr Erzberger declared, urging the
need Of instituting parliamentary pro-

impression that would be
made abroad if the current attempt
failed.

Taxleab Chinese invention.

China, the land which antedated
nearly every one of our modern ihven-
tions, also claims the invention Of the
taxicab some 600 years ago. The Chi
nese used a carriage with an attach.
ment that dropped a pebble into re-
ceptacle for every, mile it travelled. In
this case, however, the Chinese claim
cannot be admitted, for in the year 1872
a Roman emperor had carriage which
not only measured the distance trav-
eled but also the hours spent on the
journey.
