French Rainfall statistics.

The investigation of French rainfall,
as planned by the central m~eteorologi-
cal office, has been carried out for a
portion of the countryside northwest
provinces. Maps of the average rain
fall for 80 years-1S51-1900-have been
compiled, and comparison has been
made with the records of 10 statiens in
France and across the border In adj
jacent countries. The leading rainfall
features for each month and for each
year have been summarized. A wide
variation over small patches OF terri
tory Is indicated, and while the annual
precipitation Is more than 40 inches at
very few stations, II Is As inches In the
Monts d'Arree, and only 20 to "a inches
in the basins of the Seine, the Loire
and the Disc. In nearly ell parts of
the territory, the wettest month is Oc-
tober. The rainfall for this month OK
ceeds four inches In the country &c
Caux, the department of the Manche,
the western part of Brittany, and the
heights Of Gatine, reaching the maxi
mum of six inches at Saussemesnil,
and the driest areas, with a fall Of two
to three inches, are the middle valley
of the Seine. the basin OF the Eure,
and in the Deauce. Inc driest month
Is February.

Hoe as Freedoms Weapon.

"We, the people Of the United
States. in gardens assembled might
well be the beginning of a new pre-
ambie OF American liberty, stating that
the people had decided to fight for
freedom with hoes, proclaimlng to the
world the declaration that the welfare,
prosperity and happiness OF this ma
ton are to be maintained; that the
freedom of other peoples is TO be guar-
anteed against oppression" writes
Charles Lathrop Pack. president of the
national war garden commission, in
the Peoples Home Journal.
This preamble could state that 1t
had been decided by "an American
people armed with hoes" that they
would help to raise enough food to win
the war. Every man In the army
would be doing his duty In the trenches
Of his own back yard or a nearby va
Fan lot. The work In these trenches
Is Just as important as that In the
front battle lines of Europe. 1t will
constitute as vital q factor In the final
result.

CAMPING PLACE OF NATION

Park.

Analysis shows that the very large
increase in visitors to the Sequoia
National park last summer amount.
ing to nearly 60 per cent over the rec.
ord attendance Of the summer before,
a fact which strongly emphasizes
what has been called the manifest
destiny Of the Greater Sequoia as
the future summer camping place OF
the nation.

national park service says:

stand In the midst Of the Giant For.
est during the summer and gaze upon
the attractively situated and taste

1t was a peaceful scene aud a beauti-
full one. There was nothing to do In
the forest but rest. breathe the health

water. and contemplate the dignity
and beauty OF the biggest and Oldest
Ewing things. Fishermen came and
went, and the mixers and horseback
riders took the trails and returned
from the higher attitudes of the park.

the forest was never disturbed.

In volume for q number of years.
The Crimean war interrupted Eng
llsh trade with Russia, but when the
conflict was over the British traders
returned to Odessa. 1t was at this Pc
riod that they were forced to divide the
trade with Germany, for German
shippers had seized the opportunity to
gain q foothold in the port.
The war offers just now an odd par
allel Of that wal of trade waged 90
years ago. It may be of significance
to recall that the ultimate result OF
the Anglo-G German contest for Russia's
Odessa trade was that the Jews gain
ed absolute control Of the exporting
business Of the city.
Bloody Revolution In 1905.
In 1905 Odessa was the scene Of a
violent revolution. The Russian navy
mutinied and trained the big guns Of
the warship In the harbor on the city.
The disorders were quelled by the

Odessa before the war was proud
of it's beautiful parks and ~boulevards.
The refuge of many French mobiles in
the time of the French revolution, the
streets are evidence of the fact, for
they bear anne reminiscent of roy
atty of France. The main thorough
fare, however, is the Street of the
Transfiguration, which begins at the
magnificent cathedral and ends at the
gate Of the consecrated ground Of the
Orthodox Greek cemetery.
The population is largely Tartar, on
which has been grated Slav, Teuton,
Morse, Finnish and Lettish stock, but
at the beginning Of the war 1t was
said to be still Tartar in the main. Cat
acombs extending under the rich city
and Its beautiful suburbs through va
rlous periods Of Odessa's career have
housed the miserably poor, and at
times the underground inhabitants
have numbered as many as $4,000.

yankee DOODLE" Composed by Brit.
ish Officer In RidicuIe, Became
War Song Of Free Men.

History tells us the origin of our
national march-the famous yankee
Doodle" For more than $50 years 1t
has led US to victory. Few, perhaps,
remember that to an English wit and
musical genius we are indebted for the
old tune. But true Ii Is, although It
was composed In a spirit of ralllery,
awakened by the sight of the yankee
Doodles who came to town" In answer
to General Amherst's appeal to the col
onies for aid.
1t was in the summer Of 1855 that
the British army was encamped on the
east bank Of the Hudson, a little below
Albany.
They were to open a campaign against
the French Canadians, and the we'll
disciplined and uniformed troops
awaited the arrival of the volunteers.
In they came, a motley crowd, old
men, middle-aged men and young men,
but alP with brave hearts beating and
strong arms ready to do battle. Some
were mounted on ponies, others on old
farm horses, taken from the piow, and
many, with a zeal which knew no ia
tigue, hurried In on foot.
Each carried his own outfit and pro-
visions. No two were dressed alike;
there were long coats and short coats,
and no coats at all; there were high
hats and low hats, covering closely
cropped heads, or wigs with flowing
curls. In they marched, and the regu-
lar soldiers made merry at their ex-
pense.
Even the officers were not better
hammered, and the surgeon, Doctor
Shackburg, entertained his friends at
mess by playing yankee Doodle"
which he had composed In derlsion Of
the W .unteers,
Greatly to the amusement Of the
British officers, the provinclals receive
ed the tune in good faith, when Doctor
Shackburg gravely assured them that
Ii was q celebrated mir of martial
music" and daily 1t was heard played
In their camp.
Little did those merry Englishmen
realize that the time would come when
to those ringing notes the same colon
lists would march to freedom.
Twenty years later yankee Doodle"
cheered the heroes Of Bunker Hill, and
later still, more than ever endeared to
American hearts, 1t was exultantly
played as Lord CORVALLIS army
marched into W~ashington's camp at
Yorktown.

Indian trading posts where Chicago

so there was a wretched little Turkish

the time of Catherine the Great Of
Russia. Russia saw the possibilities
Of a port on the Black sea and reached

town on the plateau which forms q ter

which is one of the wonders of Odessa,
leads up in broken flights from the
harbor to the city proper. Located at
the northwest angle of the Black sea,
midway between the s~estuaries of the
great Dnieper and Dniester rivers,
Odessa was the natural commercial
outlet for the vast stretches Of grain

growth was like that of the Western

WORK ON BRIDGE
At THE CROSSING
IS PROGRESSING

Reports received from out the
line would indicate that rapid prog
ress is being made in the work
of building a bridge across the Ne
mana river at 43-mile which will
carry the rails across.
The greater portion of the struc-
ture completed last winter and
which was not injured by the ice
at the breakup is, of course, being
utilized and as the present structure
is going to be trestle bridge, bents
are being driven between the piers,
a superstructure being built on the
piers to replace the trusses and to
bring the bridge up to grade level.
AS originally intended and built
last winter, piers "a feet apart were
driven in the middle of the stream,
each end of the bridge having trestle
approaches, the alterations of the
plans call for the driving of bent
of piling between the piers. The
work is said to be about half fin
ished now and it is expected that
by the time steel reaches the river
bank the bridge will be almost ready
for it.
