Death valley was formerly the bed

places In Death valley where fresh wa

Bennett wells and Saratoga springs.
For the greater part Of the time
Death valley is a gigantic furnace Of
burning hot shifting sand dunes. At
times this strange desert is filed with
wonderful colors. The air is very dry,
and at dawn the light Is very white
and minus the mist usually associated
with that time of day. Gradually a
faint azure tint appears and deepens
above the grny-tan dunes. AS the sun
rises over the desert the pastel tints
of sky and sands burn into brighter
shades until at noon the very atmos-
phere vibrates into hot vividness.
Toward twilight the reds Of sky and

An odd bit Of the past turns up in
a list Of old publications soon to be
sold at auction, namely, to give 1t its
full, imposing title. "A Sermon
Preached at White-C Chapel, in the Pres
ence Of Many Honorable and Worship
full, the Adventures and Planters for
Virginia." and Published for the Ben
eft and Use Of the Colony, Planted,
and to bee Planted there and for the
Advancement OF their Christian Pur-
pose" The Rev. William Symonds
preached that sermon, notes the Chris
tian Science Monitor, and described
Virginia as a land with the fruitful
ness whereof England, our mistresse,
cannot compare, no.. not when she is
In her greatest PRIDE" Yet he preached
to rather a sorry congregation, says
history, largely composed of immi-
grants who had failed at home through
bad habits little calculated to help

The bushmen. Africa's pygmies Of

to civilization, are becoming rarer
every day. Famine, and the white
mans entertainments have killed OF
thousands.
The one great achievement Of these
children OF the woods Is their skillful

have been ar invincible weapon, but

The sultan Of Morocco was always
an absolute monarch, and In that ca
pacity the revenues OF the country
were his. There had never been any
distinction between public funds and
private funds-all belonged to the sui
tan. It was therefore no easy task
to arrive at an agreement as to which
were state and which private debts, SO
lnextricably mixed had they been in
the past. There was, for instance, a
bill for some hundreds Of yards OF
very expensive and very fine crimson
cloth. Naturally the ~protectorate au-

vate debts. The sultan protested. The

Judging by union standards, the
good lady in Proverbs, belauded as
she has been for centuries, set a
most questionable example. Her

what business had she to "rise up

yet light" and continue all day her
industrial ~pace-setting? 1t couldn't
have been good for her husband either,

Wilmington friends OF the Rev.
Thomas De Pamphllls, VINO for SIX
years was pastor OF the First Italian
Presbyterian Church Of this city, Will
be pleased 10 know that he has had
great success IN the new work In
which he IS engaged at st. Augustine,
Florida.
For several years Or. De Pamphllis
has given much study TO the raising OF
silk worms, and, believing that sue
cess in this work depends not only on
climatic conditions. but also on the
proper culture OF the mulberry trees
which provide food for the worms, he
has made several valuable expert
ments, hoping that at some time he
might be able TO prove that it Is pos
sible to raise an excellent quality Of
silk in the United States.
Now, on the recently established silk
farm Of Or. De PamphiEs in New

timistic dreams. He is able TO do that
which for seventy-fye years, experts,
both European and American, have

small party comprising Dr. A. Ander-
son. Dr. B. B. Bigler. G. r. Lamar Mrs.
j. y. MacGonigle and Mrs. J. II. Slater,
visited the silk farm. The doctor ex-
planned very clearly the methods EN-
plOyed In silk culture. His initial in
vestment was for mulberry trees and
for eggs OF the silk worm. He paid
twelve dollars for an ounce OF eggs
imported from Italy and which were
hatched by him in an incubator OF his
own invention. These eggs have
yielded approximately 60.00O worms,
all OF which pasture on the mulberry
leaves which are replenished several
times a day. Some Of them are ready

within a week or ten days will be
spinning in a miniature forest which
the doctor VIII construct for that pur-
pose. This mass Of tOilers will pro-
di4e 200 pounds OF silk.
Nout 400 pounds Of leaves are re-
qured TO produce one ounce of eggs
but the worms in the meantime are
producing silk. on the doctors farm

young As they grow larger the yield
