QUAINT OLD FINNISH TOWN.
Everything in eorea Seems to C:

Period Of History.

ings carelessly assembled along the
skyline. You gather that the town Is
red, owing to the bulky, crimson-paint-
ed packhouses in the foreground, but
upon climbing up the steep, cobble-
stoned street to the town, you change
your mind, and decide that 1t is going
to be yellow. For all the funny, old
fashioned houses are painted that
color. A little farther on. however, 1t
comes upon you suddenly that BOrga
possesses q color scheme-that all the
red and yellow Is just a background
for the splendid, solemn grayness Of
its ancient cathedral, which complete
ly dominates the town from the depths
Of a walled courtyard of the type that
was popular in the early fifteenth CEN
fury.
Borga began about thirteen hundred
and something, and must have reached
it's height about the seventeenth cen
tury, for 1t contains very little Of a
later date than that. The cathedral

gold pulpit was carved in the sixteenth
century, and its wall sconces and Won
derful crystal chandeliers are CEN
turtles old. Other Finnish towns have
replaced their marvellous chandeliers
with less beautiful but more practical
fixtures Of the current century, but
Borga proudly upholds the past The
Borga cathedral still measures time by
means Of quaint old hourglass filed
with sand. =.
It was in this cathedral that the en-
peror Of Russia, Alexander I, received
the oaths Of allegiance Of the newly
conquered Firms, q few days after he
had signed the constitution which gave
them their freedom. The house In
which the constitution was signed-a
modest, little, frame structure with
old-fashioned, blue-painted blinds

traveller. and If you are duly sympa-

thetic, the Borgans VIII then lead you
up to the site of an old fortress re-
ported to date back to an obscure
period, even before the cathedral,
when the Films were heathens. 1t
must be admitted that this site is any.
thing but impressive now. There are
some peculiar bitches, which, one is
assured, are meats, and several barb
wire fences which are supposed to in
close the ancient and venerable en-
battlements. Nevertheless, the place
must have atmosphere, if you can only
find it, for it was here that Walter
Runeberg, the great Finnish poet, used
to find the inspiration for so many Of
his splendid songs.

Japan had secret treaties with the

Arthur Balfour and Lord Reading

tiations began in Paris.
Senator Pomerene, Democrat, Ohio,

Lansing replied. ~
China noted exceptions to the agree

understood China had taken excep-
lions, but later had "made a declara'

Mr.. Lansing added that he did not
regard the Lansing.Ishu agreement as

Replying to Senator New, Republic

no knowledge Of any recommends

there was some in connection with

ANDREW CARNEGIE IS DEAD
Final illness Was Matter Of But .
Few DAYS.

Lenox, Mass, Aug. 12.-In his great
mansion overlooking lake in the
beautiful Berkshire, where he sought
seclusion when bodily infirmity over
took him and his mind was saddened
by the entrance Of his country into
the war, Andrew Carnegie, millionaire
philanthropist, died. Although he had
been in feeble health for more than
two years, his final illness was BRIEF
matter of days. A severe cold de-
veloped quickly into bronchial pneu-
monia, the aged patient lapsed into
unconsciousness and the end came as
though it was but the beginning Of a
deeper sleep.

Prehistoric Skull.

The bureau Of American ethnology
has made public the discovery of a
human skull Tin concrete" filed with
hard breccia, which was found on the
coast Of Florida.
The skull, collected by Samuel L.
King Of Bristol, Tenn, from Demere
Key, off Fort Myers, is believed to be
Of prehistoric origin, because, like
other human bones discovered by
scientists, it is SO placed in strata
Of earth and pebbles that the age Of
the bones can be ascertained geolog-
ically.
Other bones mineralized by age
and believed to bs from 10000 to
10000 years old have been discovered
in Florida, Peru and California, CIV
ing proof Of the existence Of prehis-
toric man, as well as the prehistoric
huge beasts; but man, it would
seem, were not 50 much larger than
those Of today.
Students of these fossil remains be-
ueve that some Of them were men
who died during the glacial period,
and that since then the shifting Of
the earth buried them under from Is
to $50 feet Of gravel which water
partly eroded, which makes it posi-
bic to estimate that at least thousands
Of years have elapsed since the man
died.

Berlin, December 4.-Production of food in Germany has decreased to such an ex- tent as to alarm the nationai commission of German agriculture, which now de- mands that government control of farm products be abolished except in the case of wheat. The commission refutes state- ment by the national economic ministry that the German people are in no danger Of shortage of food and declares that Germany will suffer an unlimited col lapse" unless the problem Is attacked with open eyes.
 The power of production has sunk so much. and the beef supply is so low, that only speedy reconstruction can come any where near safeguarding Germany's food supplies" asserts the national commits sion. It states that the wheat shortage in the coming year win amount to e,5oO, 0o0 tons.
