Italy has just celebrated the fourth
centenary of Leonardo da Vincfs
death. His name has been often men
toned during the war and his prophet
ic genius recalled. 1t is known that
he intended to build airplanes for war
purposes, but 1t Is now claimed also
that he was the first to think of the
tank. In his letters TO II Moro he
speaks Of armored cars which could
shelter the occupants and drive right
amongst the enemy's masses, Staying
and SCATTERING all opposition. 1t Is
unfortunate that more Is not known
Of Leonardo's intentions. and of the
way in which he proposed to propel his
craft. Horses might possibly have
been intended. for II horse could
carry less weight than the armored
motor, protection in those days was
more easily got than now. But IT Is
certainly very singular to read that his
cars were to charge ahead while the
infantry would follow behind-for this
Is exactly what happened four hundred
years after his death.

GOT THINGS DONE
Quality That Was Characteristic
of Colonel Roosevelt.
Matter Of the Removal Of Old Rail-
road Station In Washington Re-
called as a Proof Of His
Energy.

Since the death OF Colonel Roose'
welt, old-timers In Washington have
been recalling many incidents Illus
trative of the tremendous vitality OF
the man, his determination to gel
things accomplished. and his unwlll'
ingness to let red tape Interfere with
the accomplishment Of that which
seemed necessary to be done. one
OF these Incidents was recounted the
other day by Col. William Boyce
Thompson, chairman OF the Roose-
Welt Memorial association. IL was
narrated with much appreciation by a
congressman who didn't appreciate II
so much when 1t occurred. 1t ran
as follows:
The government was cooperating
with the Pennsylvania and Baltimore
4 Ohio railroads In the project Tor
a new union station--the present fine
edifice. The site Of the PENNSYLVANIA
old station-now the mall near the
White House-had been purchased ny
the government, and 1t was purposeu
TO rae the buildings. But congress
had been held late In special ses-
sion. and the members were ANXIOUS
10 get home, so it was decided 70
postpone the letting of bids for tear
ing down the buildings until congress
reassembled the next fall. This duty
naturally devolved on the committee
on the District of Columbia. which
in the district. Meantime major OF
engineers was placed In charge, as
custodian.
When the committee held It's flrst
meeting at the next session OF con-
press. the matter of letting contracts
for the razing of the old station was
brought up.
"Why, gentlemen" declared an as
tonished representative. there Is
nothing to tear down. I walked past
there this morning, and there's moth
ing but the bare earth where the OLD
station stood"
The committee sent post-haste FOR
the custodian, and the chairman asked
him sharply what had become OF the
building he had charge OF.
ut has been razed and the material
stored, sir" replied the major
"By whose order?" queried the
chairman. red in the face.
"By order of President Roosevelt
sir.
"Where In - did he get any au-
thority to butt into our business!
exploded the chairman.
SWELL sir" said the major, ut Is
not for me to question the authority
or the orders Of my commander III
chief. but to obey them. And | did,
SIR"
And congress decided to consider IT
q fact accomplished, and let 1t go at
that.

Britaln's Old Warships.

A great clearance of, old warshlps
has been ordered by the British ad-
miralty. The decree will affect no
fewer than 10 ships. all of which saw
service I'm the war, and some played
a distinguished part. Nine battleshios
are included. They are: Africa,
Dominion, Hindustan. Duncan, Ex-
mouth. Albemarle. Campus, Jupiter,
Redoubtable. The first three were
built between 1903 and 1905. and the
Duncan group dates from 1901. The
Jupiter was completed in 1897. the
Campus in 1899. and the Redoubtable

Jewelrv Reveals History.

Increasing demand for all-American
iewelry, designed from ancient models
fashioned by the Aztecs and Toltecs OF
Mexico, has brought to light striking
similarity between them and those or
the contempOraneOus Roman empire.
The characteristic features of RO-
man jewelry were its broad surfaces,
massive construction, use OF large
stones and open-work ornament. The
same features are equally true OF the
aboriginal American jewelry, and OF
that of the restoration now in vogue.
Betokening strength and luxury,
they both differed radically from the
jewelry of the Greeks and Etruscans.
especially in that the latter was chief
~ distinguished by its delicate beauty
and minutely cunning workmanship.
| Comparatively, it is the difference be-
tween the imposing canvas and the
| miniature. MonteZuma and the Aztec
| nObles-and their TOltec predecessors

| elry and SO did the emperors and no
| hes of Rome. while both great EN-

MICE and M|sERs
Two Would Seem to Have Some
Sort Of Affinity.
And Uncle Sam Is Frequently Called
Upon to Make Good the Depreda-
tlons Made In Hidden hoards
by the Rodents.

Uncle Sam is so brOadminded that
he goes out of his way to help the
miser. The treasury In Washington
often receives wads of greenbacks or
banknOtes that misers have buried or
otherwise hidden in places where thev
rotted or were chewed up by mice,
AMI in such cases the money, II enough
is left of 1t to be recognizable, Is re-
paid to the owner In crisp new bills.
1t is curious fact about misers
that nearly always they do not hide
their money in one place, but scatter
II about in all sorts of odd .spots-the
idea doubtless being that in case OF
theft only minor fraction of the
hoard is likely to be discovered by the
robber.
Thus it has happened many a time
that miser's house, after his demise
had TO be literally torn to pieces III
order to recover his wealth. Indeed
in such instances it is often found eX-
pedient to break up the furniture ana
rip the seams of every article of cloth
ing and bedding.
The miser is popularity supposed TO
entertain marked preference for
gold. But gold is hard to get nova
days. and, anyway, misers In these
times would rather have paper money
which is more easily and safely hid
den.
Unfortunately, mice think highly OF
banknotes and greenbacks for nest
making purposes. tearing them into
tiny scraps. the putting together OF
which (fGr Identification and redemp-
ton at the treasury is task sur
passing in difficulty the most COM
plicated picture puzzles. Paper money
by the way, cannot be so torn by hui
man hands as to initiate successfully
notes. chewed by mice. Their work
cannot be counterfeited-a fact that
has revealed a number OF attempted
frauds on the government.
The really up-to-date miser, how
ever. does not hide his money at all,
but puts it away in savings banks
where il cannot be stolen and draWs
compound interest. He scatters II
among number of such institutions
the bank books doubtless furnishing
satisfactory material for those
"sloats" in which the miser is sup
posed privately to indulge.

MAKING Studies of Volcanoes.

The department OF agriculture has
begun the extensive observation of the
volcanoes In the United States and in
sular possessions apd has recently
taken formal charge of the observa.
tory on Kiauea, Hawaiian Islands,
Prof. T. A. Jaggar, Jr, formerly of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
who has been director of the obserta-
tory since its foundation. will remain
In charge. The investigations at
Kilauea were begun in 1912 under the
auspices of the Massachusetts lnsti-
tute Of Technology, and since 1913
have been maintained at the expense
of the Hawaiian Research association,
consisting chiefly of residents of Homo
