WILL ADOPT ENGLISH PLAN
Syndicate Proposes to Construct Large
Number of "tco-operative Homes"
In Pennsylvania City. !

Plans are under way to construct at
least 1000 homes in Marcus Hook,
Delaware county, Pennsylvania. One
of the most interesting of the projects
Is for the construction Of 81 houses on
a plan similar to that Of the English
village of Chester. This plan is
sponsored by a Philadelphia syndicate,
and the estimated cost is upwards Of
S250,000. According to specifications
the village will center at an intersec-
ton of two streets. /.
The proposed homes will be of the
type known as cooperative hofmes,"
similar to those being built at'Bourne-
?ille~and Port Sunlight England. Th.s
dwellings, will be built Of brick and
stuccco. with sloping roofs and VIII be-

CANNOT IMPROVE ON NATURE
Gardeners Are Inclined to Make So.
Called improvements Which Ruin
Beauty of Landscape.

The poet Wordsworth wrote: Laying
out grounds, as it is called, may be
considered as a liberal art, in some
sort like poetry and painting; and its
object, like that of all the liberal arts,
is, or ought to be, to 'moveNhe affec-
tons under the control of good sense.
If this be so when we are merely put
ting together words or colors, how
much more ought the feeling to pre-
vail when we are in the midst of the
realities of things; Of the beauty and
harmony, of the joy Of happiness of
human creatures; of men and children,
of birds and beasts, of hills and
streams, and trees and flowers, with
the changes of night and day, evening
and morning, summer and winter, and
all their unwearied actions and ener-
gies."
All those about to garden in rural
districts would do well to read the
foregoing several times If extensive
changes are contemplated, says the
Los Angeles Times. All too many
view the natural landscapes as some
thing to be obliterated, overcome, or
subdued; whereas, quite to the con-
trary, it generally needs assistance
and accumulation to bring out still
stronger it's best natural features. Too
much destruction is visited upon the
fair face of nature when man COM
mences his so-called improvements.
Hills are cut down, canyons and hol-
lows filled, trees and shrubs uprooted,
areas burned over, all not only I'M
necessary but absolutely ruinous to
natural beauty and constituting moral
criminality that by rights should be
punishable by laws aimed to protect
primal beauty against the machina-
tons of the vandal, man. Too often
the beauty spoiler uproots a fine ma
tive tree or shrub to make room for a
poorer n from Tehuantepec Or Tim
buctoo, ignorant, evidently, that he has
made a very poor exchange and paid
money for the fancied privilege of do
ing so. We need a campaign of edu-
cation that he who now destroys will
recognize that if he lived a thousand
years and spent fortunes he could
never improve upon what nature has
given us except by aiding and adding
and never. by. destroying and recon
structing. Landscape gardening has
rightly been called "the art that doth
mend nature"

-Passing-Through Parks.

Small parks in congested business
centers are necessarily passing
through" parks. Central Square in
Los Angeles is one of them, says the
Los Angeles Times. More people each
day use it to pass through than the
total Of those who merely loiter for a
whole month. For that reason no
iandscaping should be done that will
Interfere with traffic, utility being the
first consideration. This Is not neces-
sarily true Of a small park In q small
town wheretit is the only one and must
serve all. purposes.

Held a Prisoner.

These words, and the laughter with
which they were greeted, made clear
to my mind the whole truth of the
uprising. 1t was not so much the des-
tination Of the ship, or the nature of
our cargo, which accounted for the
widespread spirit Of mutiny aboard.

other things had been used to inf1u-
ence the men, to convince them that,
they had a right to seize the vessel,
and refuse to continue the voyage, but
it was the glitter Of the Mccain gold
which had won converts to this theory.

were gathered closely about us in a
half-circle, Dugan alone being within

pose, for he gripped my shoulder, his
