Prince Carol and the Throne.

In 1866 the RoumanianS Offerd their
throne to Prince Carol of a side branch
of the Hohenzollern family, who was
also, however, connected through his
mother with the dynasty of Napoleon.
Austria and Russia were not enthuSi-

a chance to put a friend of Prussia
In the Balkans and urged the young
prince to accept.

minister as saying: Even if you fail
you will always remember with pleas

prince travelled down the Danube dis

and the sultan of Turkey, the princes

ruler. Thus Prince Carol kept his

U. S. Embarkation Headquarters

Transformed In a few weeks from
a quiet provincial town to the Ameri-
can embarkation center, LeMans was
described In a dispatch received in
washington by the American Red
Cross as n Of the most important
military points In France. The sur
rounding country has been divided into
areas for ten divisional headquarters,
the dispatch said, and the establish
ment when completed will be able to

not less than 25O,OOO In the divisional
areas, and for entertainment Of $500 to
1900 men daily to embarkation port.
Each division as 1t arrived from
Belgium. Lorraine, or Argonne. will go
to the divisional area assigned to 1t.
There the men wait until their turn
comes to 60 to the classification camp,
where they are medically examined
and "deloused." Then they are SEN to
a forwarding camp. from which they
are sent to Brest In troop trains or
long strings Of camions. At the port
they either 60 aboard at once or into
a rest camp to wait for an available

MADE SCIENCE OF CHECKERS
New E%nglanders Put Pastime on EIe
walton That Made II Far Above
Mere Game.

Those who mention the death of Ly
man St%earns, long an agent for the
Union, recall always his championship
among New Hampshire checker play
ers. 1t seems a minor matter now,
but there was q time when checkers
were important, observes Manchester
Union. In old times, when the snow
was deep, the papers not what they
are now, and the telephone not known,
this game, so easy and yet so hard,
had its votaries everywhere. A board
was at every grocery and in every
tavern, shrewd, usually rather thought
full men with a mathematical turn Of
mind, held the honors In each locality.
Here and there notable authorities
were developed. Men walked miles
to play with each other. The merits
Of center and side attack, Of conserva-
ton or sacrifice, were widely debated.
Now, the dominating thought Of the
people has become better expressed
In baseball. Only a few OF the elect
still make the game a passion.
There is yet to be written a philoso-
ply OF games. Why are English
speaking peoples almost the only peo-
pie, except American Indians, to play
baseball? How does it happen that be-
fore the war one might see a crowd In
France waiting with GREATNESS inter-
est the important strokes in a game
of croquet? Why do all the South
American nations seem to have little
interest In any out-of-door sports, ex-
cept racing, rooster fighting or bull
fighting? Why has India no out-of-
door national sport except talking
philosophy and religion? Why Is
Scotland devoted to golf instead Of
cricket? Why has Germany produced

REPTILES AT HOME IN SAND
Naturalist Makes interesting Report Of
Habits of Small Dwellers of
the Desert.

Quaint and curious are the ways of
some reptiles of the desert, as revealed
by the famous naturalist c. L. Camp,
who has been studying them in the
Colorado desert. He tells of some rep
tiles, the burrowing snake sonora, the
gridiron-tailed lizard, the Ocellated
sand lizard, and the desert ''hOrned
toad" which actually swim into the
loose sand by the strong lateral move
ments of their heads. The gridirOn
tailed lizard is very swift and agile,
and when chased will race over the
sand at fifteen miles an hour. Most Of
the desert reptiles of Colorado are col
ored like their surroundings, and are
difficult to detect. Others can change
their cOlOrs to suit their surroundings,
while not few of the desert lizards
are able to part with their tails very
readily when they are seized. There is
humor in the ways Of desert tOrtoises.
When one meets another, unless both
are males, when fight invariably
takes place. each mods it's head rapidly
up and down as though in salutatiOn,
and sometimes noses are touched as
they pass.
