FAMOUS OLD EASTERN CITY
Town Where Hudson 10 Said to Have
Landed Was Once Greater
Than New York.

Tradition has it that when the
Half Moon first sailed up to Albany,
Henry Hudson, about lis miles
north of Manhattan island, landed
on the east bank of the river and
climbed up from the sloping stretch
of sandy beach to beautiful chest
nut grove. Subsequently this be-
came the center Of q populous city,
the first in America to bear his
name, which was chosen for it by
the English settlers who later came
thither from Nantucket. The town
of Hudson was incorporated in
1885; in the following year a thriv-
ing industry was establihed on the
very site where Hudson landed. This
was none other than the brewery of
Benjamin Faulkins, which subse-
quently fell into the hands Of the
Evans family, who have maintained
this first establishment of the kind
in the colonies until the present day.
At one time there was more shipping
done at Hudson than at New York.
These interesting bits are set forth

ALWAYS LOVERS OF LIBERTY
Edmund Burke's Eloquent Tribute to
the Men Who Founded the Eng
lish Colonies.

In this character Of the Americans
a love of freedom is the predominant
ing feature which marks and dis
tinguishes the whole; and as an
ardent is always a jealous affection,
your colonies become suspicious,
FESTIVE and untractable, whenever
they see the least attempt to wrest
from them by force, or shuttle from
them by chicane, what they think the
only advantage worth living for.
This fierce spirit of liberty is strong
er in the English colonies, probably
than in any other people of the earth
=. The people of the colonies
sir, are descendants Of Englishmen
England, sir, is nation which still.
l hope, respects and formerly adored,
her freedom. The colonies emanated
from you, when this part of your
character was most predominant !;
and they took this bias and direction
the moment they parted from your
hands. They are therefore not only
devoted to liberty, but to liberty ac-
cording to English ideas and on Eng
ish principles. Abstract liberty, like
other mere distractions, is not to be
found.-Edmund Burke.

uries suffer first in war time. Tales,
heartrending to the enthusiastic col
lector, come from the bulb farms, of
bulbs that once sold for many dollars
each now being fed by wheelbarrow
loads to the hogs.
The bulb trade had perhaps passed
its heyday when collectors fought for
rare varieties, and the best of them
sold like precious stones but it was
still an enormous and valuable trade
in 1914 and it will doubtless regain
much of its old position after the
war.
Raising the bulbs is a highly spe-
cialized and arduous trade. The hya-
cinths begin to bloom early in April,
and from that month until July,
when the late-blooming Spanish iris
is afame, the fields are great banks
and masses of delicate petals and
glowing colors. Even before the
hyacinth, the early snowdrops and
crocuses are peeping up, but the bulb
season is officially opened, SO to
speak, when the first hyacip*h
blooms.

HAS KNOWN MUCH OF WAR
Weathercock Of French Church Sure.
ly Entitled to 4 Period OF
Peace and Rest.

More than 200 years the weather
cock atop the village church of Til
loloy, near the Belgian border OF
France, had looked out over pros
porous and peaceful landscape, but
during German advance in June,
1915, shell knocked him from his
perch and he crashed down, coming
within an ace of killing a Poilu.
The soldier picked him up and
carried him away, according to the
Paris Matin, which tells the story.
He kept the weathercock with him
through the fighting at Verdun, the
Somme and in Champagne. When
there was no fighting the Poilu
would sometimes set the cock up
over the trench. A German sharp
shooter took off the crest. The SOL
der carried the cock on his shout
der in an advance at Verdun and
the head was blown off. During a
bombardment, a shell exploded and a
fragment tore through the soldiers
pack, taking off the cocks tail, but
not injuring the Poilu.
While on long march, the pack
became heavy and the soldier threw
away the remaining part OF the
weathercock. Recently he read in the
Matin that the Daughters of the
American Revolution plan to rebuild
the church at Tilloloy, SO he asked
for days leave, found the battered
cock and sent it to Paris to be re-
stored to its old place over the viii
lage,

UNsUITED TO HIS USE.

People who are guests in large no.
tells often leave odd, not to say valu-
able articles behind them. 81 Pfir-
man, superintendent Of service of a
leading hotel, is gathering articles
for the annual sale.
Unclaimed property is kept for a
certain period after the guest leaves
and is then sold at auction. A few
days ago guest left comparatively
new suit of clothes in one of the
rooms. A card pinned on the coat
said: cleft for the man who can
get the best use out of it"
The suit fitted the superintendent
of service and he is getting ex-
cellent use out of it. Another article

,AmerIe,n Commander Praised.


Through its ambassador to this coun-

conferred exceptional honOrs upon the
commander Of q United States navy
vessel operating in foreign waters. For

err. This ship was one Of number
escorting transports through the war
zone when the quartermaster sighted
the wake Of periscope, 1890 yards
distant. General quarters were sound
ed and the commanding officer at once
began to maneuver with the enemy. He
Immediately shot his ship head on at
the U-boat. Getting ahead of the perl
scope he ordered a depth charge drop
ped. Nothing more was seen Of the
submarine and 1t was evident that her
damage had been serious. The British
admiralty credits the success Of the
destroyer to the alertness of the COM
mander and the manner in which he
handled the attack. Lieutenant Com
mander Neal Is native Of Tennessee.
He graduated from the naval academy
In 1897. Under the laws Of this coun-
try officers are not allowed to receive

ON ROAD TO DESTRUCTION
Specific Time Appointed for the
Earth's Ending, but II IL stlll
Some Few Years.

Apparently all Is off
This little old battle-scarred earth,
a mere clay marble among the billiard
balls of the great solar systems, is
headed for the giant sun, Vega, and
humping itself at gait Of $4,000, 900
miles year!
But there is no justification for that
instant desire to get off and walk, says
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. We
need not worry about what will hap
pen when our speedy little sphere
reaches its present destination. 1t will
be our descendants Of 10000, 900
years hence that will be yelling for
transfer to some. other line. And
even when that time comes there is a
possibility that Vega will have side
stepped or ducked, so we can whiz
right by.
So. 8. L. Boothroyd, associate pro-
fessor of astronomy at the University
of Washington, told large audience
Of men and women recently, in lee
ture on "The Nebulae of the Stars"
The eclipse Of the sun, which will
be almost complete in Seattle on June
8 next, will be one Of the most re-
markable sights ever permitted man
to see, declared Professor Boothroyd.
The astronomers, with powerful tel
escapes, can witness an eclipse every
So hours, If they wish to. The star
Algol, which is huge sun, and Is To-
Gated In the northern heavens at this
time of the year, in the sword hand Of
Perseus, is eclipsed every IS hours by
dark star that passes between 1t
and the earth. This accounts, says
Professor Boothroyd, for the fact that
Algol will gradually grow dim, and
then, within few minutes, fash up
BRIGHTLY again.
New worlds and suns are In process
Of creation in the heavenly nebulae.
said Professor Boothroyd. The rare
fed gases composing the nebulae, and
which consist Of atomic particles less
complex than the atoms Of iron and
mercury on our sphere, are gradually
becoming more dense. After countless
ages they become solid planets, or
some cataclysm Of the heavens may so
heat the particles composing them that
they become suns.

The largest warplanes are the bomb
dropping machines. They must be
capable of carrying heavy loads Of ex-
plosives. They are usually slow ma
chimes, speed being sacrificed to carry
ing capacity. The. Italians have special
lied in big bomb machines. The huge
Caproni airplanes carry three men and
three guns, besides 2,750 pounds of ex-
plosives. That makes useful load of
1900 pounds. The machine is driven
by three engines with total of 900
horse power. Such enormous machines
are rather exceptional, however. Bomb
ing machines are usually conveyed by
fast fighting planes, and do not have to
defend themselves from attack in the
air. Often bombing raids are made at
night, and the big Italian machines are
provided with 'searchlight bombs" to
enable them to locate important spots
on the ground beneath. These are bril-
liant magnesium torches suspended
from parachutes, so that they fall slow
~ and give broad illumination. while
the airplane itself is shielded from the
light by the parachute.-St. Nicholas.
