jecting farther than the one below,
looks like the leaning tower of
Pisa.
Danzig's beginnings are not
known. Poland, Denmark, Pom
erania and Brandenburg held it at
various early times. In the four
teenth century it came under the
Teutonic knights, Not long after
ward it became one of the four
centers of the Hanseatic league.
With the decline of the league it
allied itself with Poland, retaining
most of its rights as a free city.
1t had a flag derived from the red
and white emblem of the league,
employing the red as a field upon
which were three gold crowns, ar
ranged vertically.
Russians and Saxons took the
city and the score or more neigh
boring villages it governed in
l743. When Poland was parti-
toned, four years before the
American colonists signed the
Declaration of Independence, Dan
zig was separated from Poland
and 21 years later Prussia gained
possession of it. Again made a
free city by Napoleon, it passed
once more to Poland; then back to
Prussia in 1914.
Danzig became the capital of
West Prussia. Government and
private docks were located there.
Ship building and the making of
munitions we're introduced and
amber, beer and liquors were other
products. Its granaries, built on
an island. were erected when it
was the principal grain shipping
port for Poland and Silesia.
Danzig is little farther by rail
northeast of Berlin than Boston is
from New York. Its population
in 1910 was about that of Colum-
bus, Ohio.

Hard to Judge by Sound

1t is very curious fact that the
loudest sounds are not always
made by the largest ami mails. The
roar of the lion exceeds in sonor-
BUSINESS the cry of the elephant.
Anyone who had only heard with
out seeing a bullfrog, might we'll
suppose that its fearful voice,
breaking the silence of the night,
must certainly come from the
throat of an animal of formidable
dimensions.
Perhaps the remarkable case of
vocal power in an animal is that
encountered by a traveller in the
highlands of Borneo. He was in
formed by some natives that they
had heard a tiger roaring in the
neighborhood. Such news is al
ways startling to stranger in the
jungles, and hardly less so to the
natives.
An Investigation was according
ly set on foot, which resulted in
the discovery that the alarming
roars had been emitted by. toad!
This toad of Borneo, however,
was by no means an ordinary
member of the family. 1t meas
ured no less than 14a inches
around the body.
That the natives should not
have recognized the true source of
the sound shows that the existence
of such toads was either unknown
to them, or at any rate, they had
never discovered the remarkable
vocal capacities of the animals.
In this relation Bates tells of an
incident that occurred during his
travels along the Amazon. Among
the many sounds heard in the
dense Brazilian forests was a kind
of loud metallic clanking,. that
sometimes rang through the trees,
and the origin of which the traveller
was unable to discover. When
ever it was heard the natives cow
cred with fear, ascribing it to su-
pernatural origin. Possibly the
noise was so loud that they missed
its location by searching only for
something of corresponding physi-
cal dimensions.-Ex.

Friendship

Would you have friends-fve hundred, less or more,
Throw open wide your hospitable door;
Make it creed-in which you will believe,
IT'S better far to give than to receive.
Why should you take around microscope,
To spy UPON the faults of friendly folk?
Far better for your peace to shut your eyes,
A trifing grievance causes many sighs
And never your friends in judgment sit,
Or try to prove that they are counterfeit
Why should you keep crucible to test
Which of your friends are truest. or the bestl
If you are friendly, you are sure to find,
Some real friends who to your faults are blind.
Thank God for faith-far better be deceived,
Than not in human hearts to have believed.

those long rows of stoops made of
stone and highly decorated and
jutting into the roadway instead
of on the sidewalks, and you catch
but a glimpse of the composite
Danzig.
As a city of churches Danzig
vies with Brooklyn; its crooked,
winding streets suggest those Bos-
ton thoroughfares of cowpath
derivation; and were its grain
warehouses more modern the visi-
tor might believe himself in Min
neapolis- that is he might until he
heard their names such as Golden
Pelican, Little Ship, Gray Goose
and Milk Maid-then he might
look about for some popular re-
sorts of New York's Greenwich
village.
In no other German city is
medieval architecture to be found
in such variety and preservation
as in Danzig. CONSPICUOUS both in
Polish and German history. Dan
zig was one of the four principal
centers of the Hanseatic league,
while not far up the Vistula is
Marienburg, capital of the Teu-
tonic Order of Knights, which
fourished in Danzig.
Physically, Danzig escaped many
effects of the reformation. Even
in her famous St. Mary's church,
one of the largest Protestant edi-
fees in the world, covering an
area as great as the Cathedral of
Notre Dame in Paris, are to be
found reliquaries and manuscripts,
embroideries of Roman, Byzantine
and Gothic designs, treasures in
precious metals, stones and worries,
and a noted collection of vest
ments. Among its art works is
the famous Last Judgment of
Hans Mealing. In appearance al
most as much like fortress as a
church, bringing to mind Luther S
militant hymn, "A Mighty For
tress Is Our God," the church has
been called lone of the most Ger
man things in Germany" In
many ways it suggests the Prus-
sian militarist spirit. From the
vaulting, for example, projects
one of Napoleon's cannon balls.
But the Danzig visitor needs no
indirect intimation of militarism.
The city was one of the most
strongly fortified places in the now
shattered German empire. To the
east and south of the city older
defenses were supplemented in
recent years by a score of bastions.
Along the Vistula, on which the
city lies, to its mouth at Neufahr-
wasser, four miles. away, stretches
a line of forts. In addition three
sides of the town could be inun-
dated by the garrison.
Streets are lined with ornate old
houses of the HaDseatic period,
crowned with high gables, often
profusely ornamented. Balconies
overhang the streets and in spite
of the impediment they offer to
traffic, many of the elevated stone
porches still remain. Gargoyles
grin from ancient walls. Vistas
abound. There are many old water
gates. One of these, the Hobe
Tor, is fashioned after a Roman
arch. Another, the Kran Thor
