ASSIST IS REMARKABLE CITY
Shows How Influence of One Man
With an Idea Can Persist Through
the Centuries.

A remarkable city Is Assist, show
Ing how the influence of a man with
an idea can persist down the changing
centuries. 1t is seven hundred years
and more since st. Francis lived and
died here, and yet today Assist is lit
tie besides the city of st. Francis. His
name lends it whatever fame and i'm
portance it may have, and something
of his kindly spirit seems to hang
about 1t still.
Assist is a bare little Italian hill
town, built of dull stone, with narrow,
winding rocky streets, looking out over
one of the fairest prospects In all
Italy. Here st. Francis was born Of
rich parents, here he led an idle,
spendthrift youth, and here he was
suddenly seized with the idea of uni
versal brotherhood and the necessity
for poverty. Here he founded the
Franciscan order. praying that its dis
tinctive sign might be "never to pos
sess anything under the sun and to
have no means of living save by beg
ging."
He carried out his rule In strictest
practice. living in a hut of reeds built
where now stands the church Of st.
Mary Of the Angels. He felt great
love for all things created, so that he
hailed the sun as his brother and
preached to the fishes. All of these in
cidents In his career and many 9TH
ers are set forth In noble frescoes by
Giotto In the Franciscan church at
Assist.
In Assist, too, Is the tomb Of St.
Francis, in a little chapel Of the Fran
ciscan monastery. The tomb is sur
rounded by beautiful marbles and rich
work in beaten bronze. The world
has loved st. Francis, but apparent
ly 1t has never understood him. Else
It would not in all reverence have
surrounded his vault with the rich
luxury Of beauty against which his
whole life and all his teachings were
but one great protest.

Colors Of the Rainbow.

The colors of the rainbow vary &C.
cording to their size, and the size diff
fers according to the bigness of the
raindrops. Large drops produce mar
row rainbows and bright, clearly de-
fined colors. The colors are general
ly as follows: When the raindrops are
In the average one millimeter in diam
eter we see violet, pale blue, blush
green, green, yellow, orange, pale red
and deep red rainbow; when the drops
average three-tenths millimeter, the
rainbow is violet, pale blue, blush
green, green, yellow and orange. Drops
Of one-tenth millimeter produce the
succession of a very pale violet, vio-
let, whitish blue, whitish green, blush
yellow and pale yellow. Drops Of one
twentieth millimeter (fog) give white
tinted with violet, a very vivid white,
a white tinted with yellow and a very
pale yellow.

Origin Of Order Of Odd Fellows.

Details Of the origin of the indie
pendent Order of Odd Fellows are OBJ
scure and probably will always remain
so. From incidents attending the extern
sion of Freemasonry In England, Amer
lea and elsewhere In the period be-
tween its arrival, in iii, and year
1740, and from similarity Of emblems
and to some extent mechanical arrange
ment of ceremonials some investigators
believe that the order of Odd Fellows
was an offshoOt of Freemasonry. First
recorded lodge was in England In 1745.
Its membership consisted of mechanics
and laborers. Provisions were made
for comfort and recreation of members
and practices of contributing to relief

CITY IS YELLED IN SMOKE


Manchester is the industrial heart
of England, the heart of Il black,
smoky North, which is to the pleas
ant London south Ike q foreign land.
Under its veil of fog and smoke, the
flaming furnaces Of Manchester roar
night and day, turning out steel and
shells. The Manchester district is
more impressive than ar5thing Of the
kind America can show, because It is
more concentrated. 1t Is as IL nine
tenths of the American steel business
were gathered into a single Pennsyl-
vania county.
Baedeker says that on a clear day
you can see 600 giant factory stacks
at one time from hill near Manches-
ter. This statement has long been
suspected as the solitary bit Of humor
in the 81 ponderous volumes of Bae-
deker. 1t may be true, but it has new
er been confirmed, because there are
no clear days in Manchester. When
all the 600 stacks are pouring forth
smoke and the fog steals down, it is
dark at noon. On a good average day
you can see for several blocks, and
only a few electric lights are neces-
sary. The trolleys will probably burn
their headlights, but that is force of
habit on the part Of the motorman.
