HOW DOLLAR WORKS FOR you
Benjamin. Frankiln's Fund Of 5000
ossw to $43f, s83 In One Hun
drsd Ysars.

How the dollnr invested works for
the individual himself has been best
illustrated BY that first great Ameri-
can teacher Of thrift, Benjamin
Franklin. In 1701. he bequeathed
1900 ($5.O0O) to the common
wealth Of Massachusetts and to the
city OF Boston as mark Of his appre-
citation for having appointed him as
agent in England at the Handsome"
salary Of f2.006 ts10,0OO) and to
snake his bequest really valuable with
his great foresight. Franklin provided
In his will that this Fl 600 should be
put ont at s per cent interest for one
hundred years; that at the end Of
that time S1-13l Of the fund accnmu-
lated should again be put out at In
terest for another hundred years and
then the fund be divided one-fourth to
Boston and three-fourths to the state.
Let US show how well that f1.O00
Of FrankIm's has worked. At the end
Of the first hundred years It had
grown to $AS1 ,3s3.62. 1t was then d.
vided In accordance with the will
500, 300. 4S was set aside for public
work. and $40. 0eS.14 was started On
It's course Of earning interest for an
other hundred years. That was In
1891. january 1. 1918. this sum had
grown to $287. SO515 and at this rate
Of Increase the fund should amount
to at least six million dollars when
the second period Is completed. and

cHINA,s HOLY PLACES

X China's shrines. including those In
the much discussed Shantung, are de-
scribed in the following communica-
ton to the National Geographic society
by Frederick Mccormick:
"Coleridge could not have selected
phrase more apt than stately pleas
ure dome had he Intended to call at
tention to the best known form In CHI
nese architecture. Like so much Of
the wrought beauty Of China. such as
Is still seen In parks and gardens, pa
godas are the work Of the Buddhist
church almost exclusively.
..The most beautiful specimens are
In the Yangtse valley, where pagodas
are most numerous. Every important
Chinese and Manchurian city Is gar
landed with them. From the walls Of Pc
king dozen pagodas and towers may
be counted within the city, and with n
good glass half dozen famous ones
may be seen rising from the surround
Ing plain.
"Pagodas range In height from 20
TO more than 200 feet, and are Of va
rious shapes-round. square, hexag-
o,,aI, octagonal, etc. They always have
an odd number Of stories, ranging usu-
ally from seven to nine, and some
times possessing II and even 10.
1.-THE Chinese have appropriated the
pagoda a. q counterpoise to evil, and
used 1t, subject to their rules Of ge-
cmetry.
AT the city Of Tuns. In the Picking
plain, a region in past years visited
by earthquakes, there is a prominent
ougoda which at one time had more
th6n 1000 bronze bells suspended
from its cornices. most Of which are
still In place. The people have this
story a. to Its construction: A
water fowl lives underground at
this place and when he shakes his tail
II causes earthquakes. Geomancers To-
Gated the end of his tail. and the pa
coda was built on 1t to hold 1t down.
At the same time this did not prevent
the water fowl from winking his eye; ;
but, a. his eyelids have not been nc

and before our astonished eyes the
hills seemed TO nod, and the ground
swayed like the short choppy waves
Of troubled sea.
'sThe clouds enveloped africa. In
stantly through Its impenetrable veil
arose the cries for help, the crash Of
falling houses and the thousand COM
mingled noises Of great calamity,
while the ship was shaken as II

cloud passed on.
'But our troubles then commenced.
We were startled by terrible noise
on shore, as Of tremendous roar Of
n,usketry, lasting several minutes.
Again the trembling earth waved to
and fro. and this time the sea receded
until the shipping was left stranded,
while as far to seaward as our vision
could reach, we saw the rocky bottom
of the sea. never before exposed to hn-
man gaze. with struggling fish nrd
monsters Of the deep left high and
dry. The round bottomed ships kee'ed
over on their beam ends, while the
Wateree rested easily on her floor

enormous tide, came sweeping back,
rolling our unfortunate companion

tossing waters. unframed.

light, which doomed higher and higher
until It seemed to touch the sky; its
crest, crowned with the death light Of
phosphorescent glow. showing tho sui

"With crash our gallant ship was
overwhelmed and buried deep beneath
semi-soiid mass Of sand and wa
ter. For breathless eternity we were
submerged. groaning in every timber,
the stnnch old Wateree struggled again
to the surface. with her gasping crew
still clinging to the life-iines-some
few seriously wounded, bruised and
battered; none killed; not one even
missing. A miracle 1t seemed to rs
then. and as look back through the
years 1t seems doubly miraculous now.
THE morning sun broke on a scene
Of desolation seldom witnessed. We
found ourselves high aud dry In little
cove. or rather indentation. in the
coast line. We had been carried some
three miles up the coast and nearly
two miles Inland. The wave had car

the ocean, across valley and over the
railroad track, leaving MS at the foot
Of the seacoast range Of the Andes. On
The nearly perpendicular front OF the
