Fallen African Metropolis.

What nre now known as the Zim'
babwe ruins was the center Of trade
and worship for South African ma
ton. The fortress guarding the city
in Its almost inaccessible position was
once encircled by wall Of stone over
12 feet thick resting on a rocky cliff
foundation. From lookout towers on
the wall the guards could scan the
country for miles around and hurl
stones and other weapons down upon
any hostile force. Beyond the wreck
ed fortress stands the shell Of the tenn
pie, sacred to the worship Of Baal,
whence came the oracles and word,
of guidance for the people. Between
the remains of fortress and temple lie
what is known today us the Valley OF
Ruins, a maze Of walls in all stages
of dilapidatlon.
Only birds and snakes inhabit this
fallen metropolis, but out beyond tho
old city the mines from which the M
tion derived its wealth are being work
ed by the most modern methods.

Poet Invented stereoseope.

How many of us really know that
the stereoscope-largefy used for mag
nlfying photographs of distant places
was the invention of Oliver Wendell
Holmes, the American poet and phil
osopher. There had been In use a
crude form of stereoscope, consisting
of box with hinged lid on the upper
side which was opened to admit light
on the photograph. Doctor Holmes
dispensed with the box. substituting the
eye shades still used and cut sllts In
the projecting board in order that the
photograph might be correctly focused.
Then he stuck an awl in the bottom,
for handle. and the stereoscope was
complete. Doctor Holmes found the
alteration such an Improvement that
he offered his invention free to several
firms. All refused it, however, except
Joseph Bates of Philadelphia, who de-
cided to make a dozen or two and see
IL they would sell The preliminary
lot was soon multiplied by thousands.
An employee of this firm originated
the movable slide in which the pictures
are now placed, thus improving upon
the series of slots devised by Doctor
Holmes. When the stereoscope became
a great success. 1t wfs suggested to
Doctor Holmes that if'he had patented
and sold his invention he might have
made more out of 1t than from litera-
ture. He replied: II do not care to be
known as the patentee of pill or a
peeping trivance."-People's Home

We stand with our arms hanging. our
faces exposed, and wait For what?
No doubt the German agents will be
satisfied and pack their trunks and go
home to Germany. Merry thought.
Hardly.
We have seen what the German
agents will do; they did it before we
entered the war and they would do 1t
If we backed out of the war. They
would foment strikes, race riots, class
prejudice. and stir up national resent
ments. Having gotten us out of the
war against Germany they would try
to get us into war with France
Italy, or England. They would no
longer be peace propagandists but war
propagandists, because we wouftl be
unarmed and easy victims. They
would use German money to throw us
into the state poor Russia finds her
self in today. Then Germany would
strike defenseless South America.
America Loves Peace.
1t is my honest belief that Germany
has had for many years two alterna-
tive plans for conquest. From Berlin
she has drawn two lines, one to the
southeast through Saloniki and to the
Orient. the other to the southwest
through Spain to South America. She
hoped England would do the Weber.
Fields act and keep her hands down
while German armies stunned France,
and then she would leap on the Orient
and grasp vast dominion there.
England did not keep her hands down.
She is not entirely fool. That plan
failed. 1t seems hopeless now.
The other plan Germany will try the
moment she makes peace and gets her
breath, If her agents can persuade US
to keep our hands down.
don't like war and you don't like
war. We have every reason to be n
peaceful people. We have vast terri
tory, the most fruitful and productive
in the world; and warlike peoples have
always been those living In barren
lands or who have been cramped into
scant quarters. 1t is never necessary
to preach the doctrine of peace to
America, because the natural state of
America is peace. America does not
and never has gone to war except to
avenge insults that have become un-
bearable or to protect herself against
marauders. When the great, wise,
peace-loving American people declare
war there is reason for it, and a rea-
son that affects the honor or the safe
ty of the nation.
Germany has insulted and injured
us in a manner no decent people can
stand. She has flouted our rights and
she continues to do so. She was a men,
ace to our existence before the war
began and she has become greater
menace with each day her troops have
been in the field. Her navy is. practi-
cally intact; her people debt ridden.
For half century she has been the
one warlike nation of the earth. What
will Germany do II we keep our hands
down when this war ends? What
would you do II you were warlike
nation. careless of rights of others
(see Belgium y, and craving territory7
You would give slap In the face to
the fat fool with his hands down, and
you would leap on South America and
wrest from 1t the cost of the great
European war.
Germany is not our worst enemy.
With our fists up we can take care OF
Germany. Our worst enemy is here.
He is the man who asks us to put our
hands down and stand like silly
sheep until Germany is ready to strike.

and in consequence my husband could
not accompany us. The colonel insist
ed upon my taking my two children
with us. although both were very

should see some of the battlefields

led their armies.

we arrived in Richmond, and the ho-

| afforded one of the evidences of the
privations which the people of the
Confederacy had suffered. These evil
dences were very plentiful throughout
the city, as we later discovered. The
vehicle which Colonel Wilson found
for our conveyance for the drive to the
backgrounds nearby was n wretched
carriage drawn by two miserably poor
| horses. The driver was the picture of
| detection. and the small boy who
served as footman was no better, and
he shivered from head to foot with
the cold.
"As we drove over the battlefields
we observed colored people picking up
the bullets and pieces of shell. shrap-
mel, minnie balls, bits of broken can
non and other iron material. Foun-
dries had set price on this product,
and 1t afforded quite livelihood for
time to the poor about fortified cities
and battIefields.
1--WE visited the churchyards and
cemeteries at Richmond. and Peters
burg made historic through the strug-
giles which had taken place in and
around those cities. There were
great many burial grounds In those
neighborhoods, because the glebes,
which were land grants from Eng
land to the Episcopal church In
America. had still existed as church
grants at the time of the Civil war.
and were used as burial grounds for
the citizens and soldiers.
"In the burying ground near Peters
burg we saw many hundreds of
graves of Confederate soldiers, and
they nearly all bore small, faded
flag, and the dark, withered wreaths
and remains of their floral decoration
of nearly year before. These
mournful mementoes of the bygone
tragedy of the South touched me
deeply, and on our return home from
the tour of the battlefields 1 told my
husband of this tribute of the Southern
men and women to their soldier dead.
General Logan reciprocated my
feeling as to the fitness of the senti-
ment expressed He said that it was
n revival of the ancient custom, for the
people of ages past in old countries
had performed the rite of decorating
the graves of their dead heroes with
flowers. He considered the matter for
time, and then said he did not see
why 1t might not be revived in the case
of the fallen Union soldiers.
General Logan, who was then com
mander In chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic. decided that he would
issue an order for the decoration of
the soldiers graves on the following
Both of May. Sending for General
Chapman, adjutant general Of the
