Beavers Copy Tepees Of Indians,

In the pond were a number of bea-
yer houses which looked like small In
dian tepees, writes Samuel Scoville,
Jr., in Boys Life. Most Of them were
built in watcI several feet deep and
were from three to four feet above
the surface and about five feet in d.
ameter. One, however, was a huge
one, built in deep water, and fully
twice as large as any other. 1t vas

poles and stood on a firm foundation
Of mud and sticks built up from the
bottom. The poles leaned together
from the top and had been woven in
and out with thick brush and plast-
cred with mud and turf uNtil the walls
were three feet thick.

THEIR GLORY CONE
HeIgoIand to Join Louisbourg as
a Memory.
Famous French Fortress In Canada
Has Long Been Demolished and
Soon the German Stronghold
Is to Be Raced.

Announcement that the German
forts on the island of Helgolam1 are
to be demolished recalls the similar
fate of a glorious landmark on Ca.
madam soil. This Is L%ouisbourg, No
va Scotia. once the pride of New
France, and now a pile Of ruins, with
but a faint echo Of its original splen-
dor.
Louisbourg was the remnant of
French power on the Atlantic coast
when the treaty of Utrecht was sign
ed In 1918, reducing the fortunes of
Louis NV to q low ebb. From 1I2O
to 1850 It led a precarious but spec
tacular existence, its magniticence as a
defense guaranteed by the expendi-
ture Of. millions of dollars by the
French government, though millions
were stolen and wasted by dishonest
officials and unhappy officers. whose
only ambition was to get rich and go
home.
The fortress was imposing, despite
the thievery and mismanagement. and
1t required a seven weeks Siege by
Colonel Peppcrell and his New Eng,
landers in 1745 to take 1t from the
French.
BY one of those diplomatic incidents
too plentiful in the history of the new
world, Louisbours was handed back
to France in 174S by the treaty of
Aix-la-Chapelle. The New England
ers were furious. but ten years later
the British army and navy. with such
rising s%trategists as Amherst and
Wolfe taking part. a@iin laid siege
by land and sea, and in another cam
paign of seven weeks recaptured the
stronghold.
The days of the greet fortress We're
now numbered. The home of discon-
tent, the abode of s%m,!gglers, the den
OF thieving oficiald"m received its
death warrant in 17ro Mt the hand Of
George II and Pitt in London. So

ding. Should the visitor follow the
shore read by the lonely Atlantic in
summer he will hear tinkling sheep
bells from the pasture where once
stood the French town, now complete
ly o%bliterated. The great area of the
ruins Of the fort gives some hint Of
the vain preparation to hold a last
grip against the advancing British and
ColOnials.
What will be the thoughts of the
tourist as he drops by airplane on
Helgoland a century hence, witnesses
its ruined forts, and contemplates the
futile ambitions Of a race that drew
the sword and fought a losing battle
for world domination?

DISCUSSING the Primary,

Much has been said of late against
the primary system of making politi-
cal nominations. Everyone admits
the results have fallen far short OF
expectations and not few believe
these are mischievous. entailing such
an expense as to exclude the poor
candidate, giving preference to the
thickly populated centers and ag-
gravating ills to get rid Of which was
the purpose OF the law
While admitting some of the OBJ
jections Charles e. Hughes in a recent
address before the National Municipal
League declared the primary the
essential complement of the short
ballot" and that it would be mistake
TO throw it over and return to the old
methods. But he would not have the
primary as applied in many states
The ideal method. he said. is to
have convention to which delegates
would be chosen by elections within
the membership Of the party. This
convention. besides drawing a plat
form enunciating policies Of the or
ganization should discuss likely
candidates for Office. making public
their recommendations to be sHbse-
quently ratified or reversed in favor
of other candidates by the voters at
the primary election.
He favored the arrangement where
by the party organization may recon-
mend the nominations. and if the or
ganization has the confidence Of the
party its recommendation will have
weight and candidates so recon-
mended will usually win.
The primary, he said, places in the
hands of the voters a weapon and
they are no longer helpless, and he
believed 1t safeguard. Further
more it gives the voters conscious
ness Of power and responsibility and
in time they will come to know that If
things do not go right the trouble lies
with them. and this he believed is an
important phase which should not be
overlooked.
His theory is appealing but the
process Of educating, slow though 1t
be, is nothing in the matter of slug
gishness as compared with the slow
response to the call of duties well
understood. This was illustrated the
other day when voters in New Hamp-
shire neglected to vote on constitu-
tionai amendments.
