Sees Miss holman.


Marjory Holman was in Venice
travelling with her school. We found
her at her hotel which was located
right on the Grand Canal, where it
runs into the bay and never in all
my life have | seen a more fascinat
ing, beautiful and charming scene
than We experienced that night.
The canal is 70 yards WIDE and
from the hotel we could see all the
lights of Venice reflected on the wat
er. Out in the harbor was a monster
dreadnaught, proudly reflecting its
American outline. The only noise
which disturbed the night was the lap
ping of the waters against the sides
of the gondolas silently and slowly
slipping past as we heard way down
the canal the sounds of a Venetian
serenade-a party of Venetians,
drifting along in a gondola amusing
themselves with two violins, an ac-
cordian and a mandolin. Above all
this was the Venetian stars and moon
in all their glory. That's the place
for poets. All Marjory's friends
came out and we listened to the
music for about an hour 1t was
wonderful evening which | shall new
er forget.
The Piazza at st. Marks is just
a huge square surrounded by a con-
tinuous building of uniform height
and Venetian architecture on three
sides and.a beautiful church on the
other The center of the square is
simply alive with pigeons. They are
so tame they eat out of your hand.
1t was lot of fun feeding them.
The shops of Venice are even more
fascinating than those in Florence

Old Sol to Be
Brighter For
Rest of Year

LONDON, June 3.-Recent solar
eruptions. which caused brilliant
.auroras and disorganized cable and
telegraph service throughout the
world. may result in the earth re-
ceiving an increased quota OF sun
shine throughout the remainder of
the year. says Sir Oliver Lodge. the
noted scientist. who declares it is
probable that the will be
strengthened and that in conse-
quence the Indian harvest will be
improved. He even ventures the
opinion that the electrified particles
thrown off by the sun during the
disturbance. may assist in the de-
velopment OF vegetation and reduce
the amount OF dust held suspended
in the atmosphere.
Sir Oliver says the magnetic dis
turbances that attended the solar
eruption were luz to a torrent OF
electrified particles which consti-
tuted a gigantic electric current.
This opinion also is held by Camille
Fiammarion. the veteran French as
tronomer. who has expressed sur-
prise at a storm of such unusual vio-
lence occurring at this time. NJ.
Flammarion has pointed out that
the sun is at a period Of diminishing
activity. the eruptions on tn. sur
face OF the luminary recurring at
intervals OF II years.

the dispute on wages and working
conditions have been broken off, w.
s. Brown. president OF the Marine En-
gineer's Beneficial association. de-
