understood that Judge NJ. S. Mahoney
will again become candidate for the

HOW GEOGRAPHY SHAPES
ITALY'S DESTINY

ItaIy's peculiar geographic position
ALWAYS has been one of the chief
sources of the country's remarkable
indlyiduality-an individuality marked
nv its political and economic course
since the armistice was signed. Ar
thur Stanley Riggs, writing to the Ma
tional Geographic society in this re-
gard, says:
prom the beginning Nature set It
aly apart. Every boundary is perfect
" clear. The historic sea enfolds 1t
TO the south, east and west. On the
north the terrific Alps sweep around
II in a great semicircle from Medlter-
ranean to Adriatic, closing the circuit.
ITO be sure, from the time of Au-
gustus the boundary of each side of
northern Italy has been juggled, now
IN the east, now to the west, by poll
tics: but the physical boundary is still
definitely there. So thoroughly did
the ancient chroniclers recognize these
natural limits that long before the
name of Italy had any political sig
nifcance or entity the writer's applied
II 70 the country thus inclosed. The
peninsula, WITH itS
nine backbone, makes huge boot
which thrusts out practically into the
center of the great midland sea.
Necessarily, then, Italy was exposed
70 attack and invasion from three
sides. Indeed, 1t was the invading, or
rather colonizing, Greek who combined
with the aborigine to form the pop
ulatfon that stocked the peninsula.
Taken in a smaller way. geographical
site or position exercised no less dis
tinct an effect upon some Of the fore
most Italian cities; and In shaping
their affairs and men 1t also innuenced
the entire world.
AFTER forming this basin-northern

mines the whole External geography
OF the country as definitely as the
Alps do its outline northward.
"In central Italy, west OF the noun
talns, the valleys of the Arno and the
Tiber-the only streams of Importance
give the keynote TO any geographic
study of the region. Over on the east
ern coast no rivers of Importance can
exist, because the mountains there APP
preach too close to the sea, though the
tortuous, mostly dry beds of the tor
remit scar every height.
"In this connection 1t is interesting
to note that nowhere is the peninsula
more than 100 miles wide, and gener-
ally not more than 100, while down
In Calabrla the width dwindles In two
places TO 80 and 20 miles respectively.
One Of the most inspiring views in
the whole length OF the country also
displays this narrowness strlkinglyl
when, on Il clear day, from the Gran
Sasso, the highest point in the bleak
Abruzzi range, central Italy, ut near
ly 10000 feet, one may look not only
eastward over the Adriatic to far Dali
mntia's rocky shores, but also west
ward over the mountain and moor, city
and sandy coast, to the dim and misty
blue of the Tyrrhenian sea. In vol
canic southern Italy, likewise barren
of any great waterways, the Apen-
mines break up into groups OF hills and
peaks, not usually so lofty as farther
northward.
"As in the case of Japan, the sur
rounding sea makes n vast difference
in the Italian climate. Judged by Its
position alone, the peninsula should be
about the hottest part of Europe-it
is only 80 miles from the southern
shore of Sicily to Africa. But the twin
seas and the ever snow-capped noun
tains temper the heat, and the region
al peculiarities are such that we find
Turin, for instance, colder in winter
than Copenhagen, and Milan as warm
in summer as Naples"

product was patterned after the tap
estrles for which Brussels was famous
for centuries.
In addition TO Its weaving Brussels
gained renown for its lacemnking, and
Its needle made laces stlll find their
way all over the civilized world, in
Guiding a considerable quantity TO the
United States. The feminine culture
OF feudal times sought to express in
the delicate designs Of tilmy fabric
what men wrought In the lace-like
architecture of Its cathednls.

BRUSSELS: CAPITAL CITY
OF THE LAND OF THE
LOOM

Brussels, conspicuous during the
war. again became a center of world
attention with the meeting there of
the international financial congress.
Brussels fame rests partly on pop
ular misapprehenslons.
Its name is linked with a carpet
that is not made there, and also with
a cathedral which, properly speaking,
is not cathedral at all but church
that of st. Gudule.
But even after deducting this much
from Brussels credit, enough remains
to give 1t a foremost place among
world capitals. Were the romantic
adventures of the city cast into a
"movie" scenario, the title might ac-
curately be From Swamp Dwelling to
Petit Paris"
The seventh century village on the
Senne, near the center of what now is
Belgium, was called Brueselle, liter
ally Swamp dwelling" with descrip-
tive intent. The genius of a people
for making much of meager physical
circumstances fully warrants the nick
name often given the modern city OF
parks, boulevards, art galleries and a
famous university.
Suffering was no new experience for
Brussels. More than three centuries
earlier its great square had seen Count
Egmont and Count Horn walk to the
scaffold, as the former recited the fif-
ty-first Psalm. and little later both
heads were displayed to the assembled
multitude on iron spikes. More grue-
some still, both heads finally were
boxed and sent to Philip III of Spain
sd that latter-day Herod might exult
at another victory over his northern
subjects.
Though the Brussels carpet OF mod
ern times is not made In Belgium.
Brussels was paid a deserved tribute

manufactured at Wilton England. the

North and South Saskatchewan, but
they were surrounded and attacked
from all sides until all were killed.
Hornaday computes that the number
of animals slaughtered annually by
the Northwest Indians must have been
$4,000. Only struggling bands were
left. On the basis of all available data,
Hornaday estimated that the number
running wild and unprotected was 63o.
In 1889 there were 256 buffalo In cap
tivity, 200 under protection in Yellow
stone Park and 635 running wild (of
which number $50 were estimated to
be in the Athabaska region of the
Canadian Northwest Territories)-a
total of 1,091.
An attempt was then made by the
United States to protect the remnant.
By 1903, according to census, the num-
Der had increased to 1,753 head, main
ly confined in American reservations
and parks. In 1917 the Canadian gov
eminent purchased a herd of 700 head
owned by Michael Pablo of Montana,
and a special national park was pro-
vided for the herd at Wainwright, AL
berta. By 1918 this herd had in
creased to 3,711 head. The number
of captive bison in the United States
in 1919 was 3,04S head, and there were
about 20 head running wild, making
a total of BIS. Counting the Canadi-
an protected herds at 3,711, and add
ing 800 wild bison in the Athabaska
region, where they are now protected,
and 40 in public and private parks,
the total in Canada at the beginning
of 1919 was 1920 animals. So there
are approximately 1850 bison in the
United States and Canada, compared
with 1901 in 1880, showing that they
are coming back.
In fact, 1t seems to be certain that
the buffalo is coming back. For ex-
ample, there are two herds in Yellow
stone National park-a wild herd and
a tame" herd-and both are increas-
ing There are known to be at least
80 animals in the wild herd. The tame
herd now G919) numbers Alb animals,
the increase of herd of 81 establish
ed In 1902.
The calves of the 1919 season num-
bered 90. In fact, Mr.. Hewitt is so
certain that the buffalo is coming back
that he discusses the problem of what
to do with the surplus when it be-
comes a fact. He says:
"The rapid increase of the bison in
our national reservations raises the
question as to what we shall do with
our surplus. In the Buffalo Park at
Wainwright, Alberta, this question Is
becoming serious one, as they will
soon occupy as much range as is cap
able of sustaining them.
"The natural answer to this ques-
ton is to create additional reserva-
lions, which policy undoubtedly will
be followed, particularly in the United
States, where much additional range
suitable for bison, but less suitable
for agricultural purposes, is available.
In addition provision Is being made
for the donation of surplus animals
to municipalities. public organizations
and institutions.
But cannot we go step further
and consider the desirability of en-
couraging farmers to purchase sur
plus animals from the government

uovered the continent, there were but
LODI head alive in 1889. Now there
are 1860 in the United, States anu
Canada.
Efforts of the American, and Canadl-
AN governments to save the pisoh
which was slaughtered almost TO the
point of observation-disclosures descrlpeu
by C. Gordon Hewitt in Natural his
tory, the official magazine of the mu-
scum of that name. Mr.. Hewitt Is
actively engaged in the salvage as
consulting geologlst to the Ottawa
Commission of Conservation. He says
the manner in which the total loss
If this magnificent animal has Deeh
prevented should fill with hope ana
confidence all who are trying TO CON
serve wild life.
There were literally myriads OF
buffalo In the old days and their hab-
itat originally covered nearly all OF the
North American continent. Even ms
late as 1871 there was seen migrating
across the plains wedge-shaped herd
on a 25-mie front with depth OF oo
miles; such drove could contain no
fewer than 4OOO,oOO heau.
DIR. William T. Hornaday, director
of the New York Geological park, says
in u pamphlet that the original range
started almost at tide water on the
Atlantic coast, extended westward
through dense forest, across the AL
legheny mountain system to the Mis-
slssippi prairies, and southwark to
tIn 1ain n
try of the West was the home of the
species, where 1t fiouiished most
abundantly, it wandered south toward
Texas, westward across the Rocky
Mountains into New Mexico, Utah and
Idaho, and northward across vast
treeless waste to the inhospitaDle
;hores of the Great Slave Lake. The
tast herds seemed to clothe the prair-
es with coat of brown.
George Catlin, in book in 1882,
said from 10000 to 100000 robes were
marketed annually, which meant the
laughter of from 100000 to 3,OOo,-
90 bison. About the same time Ere
lont bore witness to the appalling de-
ruction.
The death knell of the bison was
ruck when Union Pacific construc-
on began in 1866. Previously the
ifficulties of marketing served as
light check on the rate of extermina-
ion. This railroad divided the orig
nal body into southern and northern
erds. Hornaday estimates that In
81 the southern herd contained 81
10000 animals, though most estimates
i've higher total. Between 1871 and
SIS the great southern herd was
,iped out of existence.
Final slaughter of the northern herd
vas inaugurated by the opening of
he Northern Pacific in 1880, when the
lalf-breeds of Manitoba, the Plains
Cree of QuAppelle and the Blackfeet
# South Saskatchewan swept bare
, great belt of country stretching east
nd west between the Rocky Noun
aims and Manitoba. A few thousand
,emained in the country around the
headwaters of Battle River, between
