had been almost completely denuded of its forests, It was not until 1866, two years after Denmark had been forced to relinquish Schleswig-H to Prussia and Austria, that the Danish people began an appraisal of the lat ent agricultural possibilities of their remaining domain to see if by cultiva- ton they could compensate for their territorial losses. Col. E. Dalgas, an engineer officer of the Danish army, was the leading spirit in the organiza- ton of the Danish Heath society, which began to plant trees throughout the peninsula, a movement which is still going forward and which has proved to be the salvation of the land. Mountain frs were first planted and these were succeeded by red spruce from America. These trees serve as a living barrier against the fierce sand driving gales from the North sea.
 The interior of the peninsula is fast losing its barren aspect, more than g. 800 square miles of heath having been redeemed by afforestation. Oats, bar ley, beetroots and rye are now grown profitably. cattle and sheep find good pasturage, and the forests teem with deer and wood pigeons. Typical of the growth of towns in this rejuvenated area is Herning, a settlement of 40 souls in 1866 and now a thriving com- munity with population of 5000.
 Jutland has a familiar ring in the ear of every sehoolboy for he remem- bers that the Angles and the Jutes were among the first Germanic peoples to emigrate from the shores of the Baltic and settle in Britain.

 This terrible reverse sent a tremor of terror through the lawmakers on the Capitolne hill, and the constitution was set aside in order that Marius, fresh from his triumphs on African battlefeids, might be invested with consular powers for five years. He was deemed the man of the hour and the only general who could turn back the tide of barbarians that had debouched from Cimbri Chersonese. the name given to Jutland. While this tribe poured over the Alps, driving the forces of Catullus before it across the Adige and the Pc. Marius administered a crushing defeat at Aquae Sextiae in Gaul to the Cimbris' companions in arms, the Teutones. The consul then rushed back across the Alps and at Campi Raudii, near YereelH, where a century earlier Hannibal had won his first victory on Italian soil, the in vaders were utterly annihilated. all the men being killed or captured while the women slew themselves and their chil- dren in preference to being borne to Rome in slavery.

 This time there was less delay Whoever was coming downstairs was carelessly assured and was scratching matches on the wall as he went along to guide his progress. He entered the kitchen. It was Bopp, clad in the sort of pajamas 1 thought he wore He was laughing to himself as he came in and went straight to the box of biscuit. He took one out of the box.
 And he ate it!
 Before that I may have disliked the man. but now A smile of enjoyment spread over his features, plainly dis cernible when the lightning flashed. Evidently the dog biscuit were deli cious. At last he finished and started to leave. I was about to breathe sigh of relief when I happened to glance toward the shelf where the bis cult were kept.
 The box was gone. The fiend was taking them with him. Without a thought for poor Tootles, who would doubtless starve to death, he was go- ing to eat all her food.
 With one bound I was upon him. The thought of that poor dog steeled my heart. l grabbed him by the throat,

contradictions, but quite consistent fn view of the fact that the culture of the Orient and 0ccident have proceeded along somewhat different lines. Fez is a stronghold of Islam and a fair specimen of what the culture produces.
 There is much poverty, much oppres- sion, much disease; there is also much charity, justice that is sometimes dis concertingly swift and an atmosphere that can only be described as one of resigned cheerfulness. Commerce is conducted on. ludicrously diminutive scale, but the total of a months trad ing in a six by ten emporium often mounts into staggering figures. Slaves are still to be had by those who know where to buy, and religious feeling runs so high that several Europeans have been killed for polluting the sa- cred atmosphere of mosques with their presence. Popular ignorance often reaches to the point where the individ- ual in question is not cognizant of the existence of the American continent, and in the library of Fez are numerous absolutely priceless treasures in the shape of ancient tones of learning. Certain books of Euclid, never seen by European eyes, are said to be guarded here.

In. stead of the old lumber, men use iror and steel. Instead of crumbIing bricks and uncertain firing, they use cement and stone.

Fez is the capital of Morocco. It is an odd mixture of progress and me dievalism, or tolerance and fanatacism, of learning and superstition. These generalizations are the typical reaction of the occidental visitor to the life and manners of Fez. As a matter of fact, writes Niksah, Fez is no city of

' UPLAND, the low-lying, sandy
 peninsula whose name histOri-
 ans probably will employ to des-
 ignate the great naval battle fought off it's shores by the British and Germans, is the continental portion of Denmark and comprises nearly two thirds the area of the kingdom (exclu- sive of colonial possessions), but with considerably less than half the total population. It compares with Vermont in size, but has a density of population three times as great, says a bulletin of the National Geographic society. Its most striking physical characteristics are the fjords which cut into the sandy seaboard, particularly on the west coast. Of these the largest, Limfjord, is today a misnomer for since 1922 1t has been a sound, joining the waters of the North sea with the Kattegat and making an island of the extreme north ern portion of the peninsula which ter inmates in a cape called the Skaw.

 Ancient Home of the cimbri.
 Jutland was the ancient home of the warIike Cimbri, a tribe which for 12 years kept Rome in state of panic, and which was the first Germanic host to make it's way across the barrier of the Alps into northern Italy. antici- patlng the descent of the Yisigoths by five centuries. The Cimbri came with in the purvlew of recorded history in 113 B.

Instead of following up their success into Italy, the victors pushed westward into the Rhine valley. Four years later, however, they practically
