pipes have to be found. They do not
grow on the bushes by the side of the
road. They are stacked perhaps miles
away on dump, and they have to be
brought up. Then. and not till then,

sidered, for a steam roller has IL soul,
and has to be humOred. The fiji st

verse creature | ever met. She made

of caterpillar" tractors. Then. sud-
denly, she appeared to change her
mind, and when / heard of her last
was working ms though she were at
home. She had to be kept at work,
TOO, and her repairs had also to be
rushed. When the plug blew out, for
instance, an officer who happened to
come DlnnO nf, a
to French blacksmith's shop, found
some lead, made the repairs there and
then. paid half franc out of his own
pocket and wasted only few hours

banks some feet higher than the sur

shelled these banks, with the inten-
ton Of letting all the stream into the

The Ancient prauon.

The pterodactyl whose fossil remains
have been found in the chalk ut Cam
bridge, England, and elsewhere. with
"A very varied spread of wings. which
in the largest specimens must have
reached twenty-five feet, is almost iden-
teal with the dragon of fable. A bat
like creature, with an elevated body
and long neck ending In an abSurdly
small head with a portentous. beak, it
could run very swiftly, was a fish eater
and could swim, or it flew by means of
huge membranous wings, which con.
nccted its long fore quarters with its
hind legs. The pterodactyl evidently
existed down toia comparatively recent
geological period. and it is not at all
improbable that the traditional dragon
is described from the last living speci.
mems as met with by primitive man.

Artist and Counterfeiter.

There used to be an old German
cOunterfeiter in this country who was
a veritable wonder with the brush and
pen. This man literally painted pic
lures of twenty dollar notes which
were works of art. He used no tools
except his pens and brushes and it
took him week to do the portrait Of a
banknote. He figured that his handi-
cap was worth about So a day and
worked under the idea that the world
owed him fair living and should not
object If his talent led him toward
portrait painting, with twenty dollar
bills for models. Even Jail terms fail.

wrongdoing. A collector Of curlos
once offered $500 for, one of his speci
mems of bill portraiture, and the value
OF some others was said TO be ever
greater. so marvellous was the dclicacy
Of his brush work.

CALLI-CURCI
THE CROWNED QUEEN OF SONG,

Karleton Hackett, prominent voice
teacher of Chicago, and musical critic
for the Chicago Evening Post has
made frequent reference in his col.
umn to the triumphs of Galli-Curci In
the issue OF January 18th he writes a5
follows:
Yesterdays matinee was CALI
Curci occasion, which means that
every seat in the theater was occu-
pied. Amelia GalliCurci is singer
who wins all hearts, from the white
boards who heard Patti when she
was girl to the youngsters who new
er went to opera until this season.
did not hear Patti when she was a
gill for the good and sufficient reason
that had not been born then, but I
heard her good many times when
was Q boy, tho the old-timers said she
was no longer the real Patti.
q heard Sembrch many times when
she was in her youthful prime and
from then uAtil she retired. | have
heard GalliCurci every time she has
sung this season and after weighing
the matter carefully during these last
weeks it is my deliberate opinion that
site sings more beautifully than ever
did Nine. Sembrich.
Her voice is richer in color with a
greater variety Of shading, Of fuller
volume, and greater range As for
her mastery of the art of song, a.
least as far as we know it thru the
colorature roles, it is perfect There
is nothing she is called upon to do in
sustained singing, or in every form o!
vocal decoration, that she does not dc
with an ease and certainty that makes
ii seem not like an art nor a skill, but
like a spontaneous creation Of nature
Whether she has a more beautiful
yrice and a finer art than Patti hac
in her young womanhood | cannot tell
but of all have heard during the las
thirty years, all of them without eX
/ ception. she is to be declared the
crowned queen Of song. If anything
remains to be said ] will gladly sa,

N-BOAT WARNING
Continued from Page H.

States. lin furtherance of that desire
the State Department has taken sharp
measures to prevent spread of sugges-
tions that would make trouble in this
country. The first step in this line
is to he the departure along with
Count Won Bernstorff and his party
of DR.. George Barthelme, correspond
ent in Washington of the Cologne Ga
zette. The latter. following a confer
ence with counsellor of the state de-
partment, Frank Polk, agreed TO re-
turn home and a safe conduct was
arranged for him to accompany the
ambassador to Germany.
The doctor was responsible for the
latest suggestion from Germany that
she was willing to negotiate formal
ly or informally with the United States
provided that the commercial blockade
against England was not broken.
There is bitter resentment in admin
istration circles over this offer by
/ Germany, where it is characterized as
an insult in view of the Presidents
( address to congress announcing the
breaking off OF relations.
And it is also claimed that the Offer
was predicted ON the statement, sent
by DR.. Barthelme to his newspaper
which has an official status. that he
had the highest authority" for the
declaration that ii Germany woult
agree not to sink American ships
friendly relations could be restored.
From now on officials of the state
department declared irresponsible
statments regarding policies to be pur
sued would be rgidly checked up. Al
ready the bars have been raiseC
against correspondents who are alleg
ed to have misrepresented the policies
