E:IL.BA'S Val UAB LE IRON MINES.
some OF Purest Metal in the World Is
Found Here, Although in Small
IS Quantities.

1T must be admitted that the Eng
lisn pave not been very generous" re-
marked Napoleon as he surveyed his
Kingdom of Elba from the TOP of it's
highest peak. Yet man more modest
than the great Corsican might have
been well content with this fair and
rich little island, to say nothing of the
title of king. %5..s
Elba today has come into a new i'm
portance, owing to the war stimulated
values of it's iron mines. Some of the
purest iron ore in the world is found
here in beautiful crystals, although
the quantity is not great enough to be
of any wide significance.
The little isle includes all manner of
little industries in it's 10 by IL mile
confines. On the lower slopes there
are fertile little valleys, and along the
beach a tiny fishing industry manages
to thrive. Besides the iron mines
there are famous stone quarries, and
the scenery is rugged and imposing on
a miniature scale. Had Napoleon been
a philosopher he might we'll have
found contentment here.
But Napoleon was general and
builder; instead of settling down to en-
Joy what the gods had left him, he in
stituted all manner Of projects for de-
velopment in his tiny kingdom, and
even conducted from here his least
known campaign. Across the blue wa
tiers to the south of Elba is visible
the smaller island Of Pianosa, low and
fertile. Pianosa was deserted in those
times on account of the depredations
of Mediterranean pirates. Napoleon
directed an expedition of 40 men
against the corsairs with the object Of
adding Piaposa to his kingdom. He
probably would have led the pirates. a
hard life had not the opportunity for
escape presented itself that led to
France and Waterloo.

Has some one promised to do some
thing for you, then didn't do It?


Has some one promised to do some
thing for you, then didn't do It?
It has happened to me more than
once or dozen times, writes Helen r..
G. Temple. And every time it hap
pens, it makes me "mad!'' Angry
sounds altogether too mild to express
my feelings. When you go to the win
dow about forty times to see if 'they''
are coming, or when you have planned
to have a roast for supper and you
have asked some one to get it for you,
and they did not, how do you feel?
Take lesson from your feelings
and when you said you were going to
do something, do it. If you are not
positive that you can do something,
don't promise. One of the most disap-
pointing things in life is when some
one does not come, when he had said
he would, or when some one promises
to do something and does not. This
life is full enough Of other sorrows
without doing something like that.

Oriental Architecture.

Mosques and other buildings are
now erected in REINFORCED concrete
in Egypt and other countries, but
adhering to the national type of ar
chitecture as regards the design Of
such structures. Among others is the
Sultan Hassan mosque at Cairo, in
which REINFORCED concrete enters
largely. Another very handsome struc-
ture of Oriental type was recently
erected near this city, the Grand Pal
ace hotel Of Heliopolis. It is a vast
building Of four stories, and presents
a pleasing aspect owing to the e1-
cellent architectural design inspired
by the prevailing styles.
