|TALY'S GEOGRAPHY FACTOR
 / IN |Ts FATE AMONG NATIONS

WASHINGTON D. C. Jan. 6--In d communication to the National Geo. graphic society Arthur Stanley Riggs aScribes to ltaly's peculiar geographic position one of the chief sources of the country's remarkable individuality. In @t war geography bulletin issued by the society Mir. Riggs says:
 From the beginning nature set Italy apart. Every boundary is per fectly clear. The historic sea enfolds St to the south east and west. On the north the terrific Alps sweep around 1t in a great semi circle from Medi- terranean to Adriatic, closing the circuit,
 TO be sure, from the time of Au- Sustus the boundary of each side of northern Italy has been juggled. now to the east. now to the west by poli- tiCsT but the physical boundary is still definitely there So thoroughly did the ancient chroniclers recognize these natural limits that long before the name Italy had any political signifi- canoe or entity the writers aplied it to the country thus -inclesed. The peninsula, with it's tremendous Apennne backbone, makes a huge boot which thrusts out practically into the center of the great midland sea.
 Necessarily. then, Italy was exposed 10 attack and invasion from three sides. Indeed, it was the invading. or rather coloniZing, Greek who combined with the aborigine to form the popula- ton that stocked the peninsula Taken sn a smaller way. geographical site or position exercised no less distinct an effect upon some of the foremost

water seaports-Naples, Genoa, Spe- Zia, the naval base, and Leghorn, on the western coast. and Venice, Ancona and Brindisi on the east. The rivers except the Po-are of little or no importance for navigation-a fact that Romans cleverly disposed of by build ing those beautiful and enduring mili~ tary roads which to. this day vein the whole length and breadth of the coun try-though the rapidity of their cur rents and the flashing. dashing cas- cades and 'torrenti' that come swirl ing into them make them highly pie turesque and delightful as a feature of the landscape,
 What human being with a single spark of soul could fail to expand un- der the magic of that wonderful chain of lakes along her northern border Garda, ldro Iseo, Como, Lugano,, Mag giore. Orta? These remarkable and exquisite sheets of water, formed by the tributaries of one single stream the Po-sprawld eabout in tremend- ously deep valleys among towering hills of solid rock while scattered among them are shallow little lakes entirely different in both character and aspect.
 Resides defining the limits of the country so clearly, nature also bull warked the long and tortuous Italian peninsula on the west with q host of rocky defenses in the sapphire waters of the storied Tyrrhenian sea-Gor- gona, of the suggestive name: rocky Capraia: Elba, of Napoleonic fame: the stony fleet of the little punzas: bold and rugged Ischia, with it's castle on a big boulder: Procida likewise; :; humpbacked Capri. where that hairy old goat as Suetonius called the Elm peror Toberius held his revels; the Aeoian or Lapari Isles, black monsters that spout fire and sing weird music to ,terrify the superstitious argonaut; magnificent Sardinia, with it's little sister Corsica clinging to it's coat tails step behind Both belong to Italy by every right of nature-as d bright lad in a Sicilian school told me; 'Sardegna. si. But Corsica no. She belongs to Italy geographi- cally, but politically to France. And the greatest of all these outworks Is Sicily.
 As in the case of Japan, the sur rounding sea makes vast difference in the Italian climate. Judged by its position alone, the peninsula should be about the hottest part of Europe it is only 90 miles from the southern shore of Sicily to Africa. But the twin seas and the ever snow capped mountains temper the heat, and the regional peculiarities are such that we fAnd Turin, for instance colder in win ter than Copenhagen, and Milan as warm in summer as Naples. These same striking differences character izes the vegetation also. North of the Apennines nothing will grow that cannot withstand sharp frosts yet in virtually the same latitude the strip of coast called the Riviera di Genova sports luxuriant palms and cactus and olives while oranges and lemons are the most important crops"

 The four act comedy drama, The Woodmen." staged and directed by Chas. Ellis at the Elks theater. We'd ncsday evening January :. under the auspices cf Phoenix Camp No. ,, Woocmen of the World. was a crown ing success It is q beautiful story of fraterralism and protection and teaches many and valuable lessons. 1t reveals the degradation and shame to which humanity will glide when John Rarleycorn puts the skids un- der a fellow. IL also reveals the de- predictions man will commit, and the distress he will cause whnn tempta tion for gain overpowers the will that God has given us to strive for good But the stirring climax is reached when John Mcfarland, the bank cashier. is prevented from con Ia hat igI ft1up strov the evidence that would secure for the widow Mrs. Noble, the in heritance that the deceased husband. whose life was destroyed in the wilds of the northland. had left to stay from her door the phantom of misery hunger, distress. and woe.
 The theme for the drama is won derfully devised and many strong characters are created But one criticism of importance can be made of the play It's language, in certain instances, might have touch of it's riehness smoothed a bit and q slight refining influence caused to permeate it's asmosphere. But all in all, Mr. chas. Ellis, the author and director is to be complimented and commended in the creation and rendition of the play in which so many of the finer sentiments are permitted to be re- vealed.
 Not only in the creation of the drama has Mir Ellis proven himself a master, but also in the selection of his cast. Where the light hearted and numerous were needed the parts were filled by players equal to the occasion. Where the strong will pre- dominates. if matters not what the, cost there were players to play their part And where serenity. sedGteness. and dignity must cause a splendid and magnificance of thought and sentiment, such characters were found whose every net and word builded more dignity and sedateness
 Sc much comr0endation of the play has come to the ears of MT. Ellis. that he is seriously considering other engagements for "The Woodmen," and no dcubf it will be again rendered in

Italian cities; and in shaping their entire world.
 Italy is generally regarded as lying in three parts-northern centeral and southern. Nature has set no boundary between central and southern Italy i; but from the southernmost point of the Alps, at the French frontier. the Apennines swing across to the east ward leaving in the arc they cut a huge U-shaped basin drained by the river Pc and it's tributaries, open tt the Adriatic.
 After forming this basin-northern ltaly-the Apennines sweep south ward in a rugged backbone which de : termines the whole internal geography Of the country as definitely as the Alps do it's outline northward The Apennmes are not. however, merely d backbone, but broad mass with sev- eral minor ranges and groups of peaks generally separated by high upland valleys, one of whose plateaux. the Piano di Cinquie Miglia at a height of 429S feet above the sea. is the wintriest and hleakest spot in ali Italy.
 This upland region is bordered everywhere by lowalnds of luxuriantly fetrile character prolific in fruit and verdure and of a genially warm and sunny climate. In central Italy, west of the mountains, the valleys of the Arno and the Tiber-the only streams of importance-give the keynote to any geographic study of the region. Over on the eastern coast no rivers of i'm portance can exist because the noun . tains there approach too close to the sea. though the tortuous mostly dry beds of the torrentf scar every height
 "in this connection it is interestint, to note that nowhere is the peninsula more than lJ0 miles wide. and general ly not more than 100, while down in Calabria the width dwindes in two places 10 B and 20 miles respectively. One of the most inspiring views in the whole length of the country also dis plays this narrowness strikingly when. on clear day, from the Gran Sasso. the highest point in the bleak Abruzzi Range, central Italy, at nearly 10000 feet, one may look not only eastward over the Adriatic to far Dalmatia's rocky shores, but also westward over the mountain and moor. city and sandl. coast, to the dim and misty blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea. In volcanic southern Italy, likewise barren of ahN- great waterways. the Apennines break up into groups of hills and peaks not uesually so lofty as farther northward

The year that has just ended. has been most successful one for the 't'raternals under the wise and efficient administration of our of ficers. the society thTiVed and pros pered. and wound up in blaze of glory Tn our masquerade dance. held the last Saturday of the year This dance was big success and the floor was over-filled with maskers ir all kinds of costumes. many of them very unique; the two that stood out above all the rest aIsd easily carried off thc prizes were those worn by Sergeant Jesse Lyman of Co., F. First Arizona infantry, and his partner Miss Joe Tyler. these two were dress cd in full Indian costume. and the parts we're carried out even to the penuine dances. all of which made them easy winners of the prIzes.

Odd Fellows


 The announcement in Lodge Lore last Sunday was a printers mis- understanding. 1t should have read. the Odd Fellows will hold joint in- stallation with the Rebekahs. Tuesday evening, January 9. But the installa- tion will not be public affair. but for members of the order only. This should make it clear for those who may have misinterpretated the same.
 All candidates for the first degree are requested to be at Pythian hall promptly at s o'clock Tuesday even ing. This will probably be the last opportunity to take the initial degree before Marcos de Niza council ar ranges for the exemplification of the second and third degree in the near future, under the direction of District Deputy Thomas w. Nealon. The of ficers of the council have made all plans to initiate Tuesday evening all those whose applications have been passed upon favorably Members whc proposed these candidates shoulo make special effort to have them

 In spite of rain, Dr. J. Godfrey Raupcrt talked on "Spiritism' at St Aanthony's hall last Wednesday even ing to a large number of knights. Dr. Raupert spoke on the deep interest scientists are taking in the investiga l-tion of spirit phenomena. and the
 effect their researches has upon the worlds greatest thinkers. He re- ferred to the discoveries of such men as Lodge.
