Baltimore, Md, Jan. Civilian Jennings Bryan, who is staying in Bal timore while his wife is undergoing treatment at John Hopkins hospital, paid the followig tribute to Colonel Roosevelt:
 "The rare qualities that won for Colonel Roosevelt a multitude of de- voted followers naturally arrayed against him a host of opponents, but his death puts an end to controversy and he will be mourned by foe as we'll as by friend.
 "He was great American and made a profound impression on the thought of his generation. His picturesque car ger will form a fascinating chapter in our nations history"

The nerve-racking chase after self qualification or material gain often blinds to the nobler sentiments; and the cold, perhaps unintentiondl, slight, inattentlon or rude, though thought less, rebuff wounds still further an al- ready sore and bleeding soul whose flagging and dejected spirits might have, with a sympathetic glance, a smile of approval, or a welcoming ges- eure, been set ull atune. the harmony to be passed along.-Great Thoughts.

Geography Sixty Years Old.

The rapid development of geography
as a college study, since its first ap-
pcarance in a university curriculum,
about half a century ago, is discussed
by Prof. r. II. Whtbeck of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, in recent ar
ticle on Geography in American and
European Universities" published in
the Journal of Geography. He points
out the following interesting facts:
In 1850 Harvard and Princeton
were the only American universities
Offering courses in geography.
Cornell and University of Wlscon-
sin introduced the subject in 1865,
and Yale followed in 1872. In 1900
only II American universities taught
the subject. but by 1910 thirty-one
universities were Offering a variety
Of 142 courses.
With 704 students enrolled in geog
raphy, the University of Wisconsin
led all others in 1910. With 1,069 en-
rolled in 1917, it led all others except
the University of Pennsylvania. 1t
now offers seven courses in physical
and economic geography, climatology
and other phases of the subject.

PRECURSOR OF THE PIANO
HarPsichord, in Arrangement Of Key
board and Strings, Resemb!ed the
instrument in Use Today.

The harpsichord was stringed mu
steal instrument in use in the 10Th
18th and 18th centuries, which In it,
form and in the arrangement of thu
keyboard and strings resembled pi
ano, but in which the tone was pro
duced by the plucking or swapping OF
the strings by leather or quill points
which were set in jacks connected by
levers with the keys. In form it usu
ally resembled modern grand piano
forte, though both square and upright
varieties were also made. The length
of the keyboard was four to six and
a half octaves. The number of sep
arate strings to a key varied from
one to four, sometimes including one
tuned an octave above the others; the
latter variety was called a double
harpsichord. The tone was weak and
tinklng, and graduation of force was
impossible. Two keyboards were
sometimes combined, one for soft
effects; the other for loud. Numerous
devices, usually connected with the
Jacks, were introduced ut different
times to secure variety in force, and
especially in quality. These mechan-
isms, which often aimed to simulate
the tone qualities OF various orches,
trail instruments, were usually con
trolled by stopknobs near the key
board. The harpschord, though es-
sentially different from the pianoforte
was its immediate predecessor. Be
fore 1900 it was regularly used in all
dramatic music, especially in accom-
panying recitatives and in orchestral
music. The conductor usually direct
ed from his seat at q harpsichord
placed amid the other instruments.

WORK OF MONKS IN EXILE
Congregation of Armenian Christians
Has Diffused knowledge Of Coun-
try's Language and Literature.

The MechitariSt monks are small
congregation of Armenian Christians
who were eXiled from their native land
at the beginning of the eighteenth cen
fury. The church in Armenia had long
been divided into bitterly hostile camps
over the question of the nature OF
Christ. and when the Mechitarsts en-
tered into communion with the Church
OF Rome in 1872 the Armenian patri-
arch succeeded in driving them from
the country. They took up their resi-
dence in the Morea, but they had again
10 flee before the advance of the con-
qucring Turk, and in no they cStab-
lished themselves in Venice, on the
Island of san Lazzaro. Here they set
up n printing press and gathered to-
gether a large and valuable library of
oriental works. Their name is de-
rived from Mechtar da Petro, who
founded Il religious society at COnstan-
tinople about the. year 100, and who
aimed at uplifting the intellectual and
spiritual conditions of his countrymen.
and at diffusing a knowledge of the
old Armenian language and literature.
The colony of eXiles during their so
iourn in Venice has printed most of
the classic writings in Armenian lit
erature and translated the works Of
Eusebius, Philo and other writer's.
