There was noticeable unevenness of tone colOrins in Miss Cases earlier selections. bJft the quality of her voice increased later :l smoothness and warmth. She revealed an excellent consciousness for the significance of her songs and made her audience well aware of their meaning. She seemed especially at home In the French and English songs. and by far the most attractive portion of her program was that beginning with "J'ai dit aux etoilesr by Paladiihe in the second grovp. ii one excludes that delightful old Flemish number.

LAND OF CHANGES
SantO Domingo Has Undergone
 Many vicissitudeS.
oldest Permanent Settlement on Amer. lean Soil, It Has Failed to Full
 GII It's Early Promise.

SantO Domingo is rich in historic in- terest, says Samuel Guy Inman in the course of an article in the Pan-Amer- ican Magazine. It is the oldest of all of the permanent settlements on Amer. ican soil. Here Columbus founded various colonies, and SantO Domingo city became his favOrite of all the New world. It was here that he spent some of the happiest time of his life. and here that he was reduced to pris- on by his political enemies and from here he was sent in chains and dis grace to Spain. The old tower where he was imprisoned still remains and his bones lie in the great cathedral of SantO Domingo City.
 In this oldest city of the New world one still sees the remains of the first church built in America. It's fOunda- tiOns were laid in 1902. Here Is the house where COrtez kept the court rec Ords before he had ever heard of Mex leo. From here Ponce de Leon set out in his search for the Fountain of Youth. Here lived Pizarro before he went to Panama and sailed down the west coast to conquer the Inca em- pire. Everywhere one turns he en- counters old landmarks where the fam OuS cOnQuistadOres had their first ex- periences in the New world. PadR de las CasaS entered the priesthood here, and in his indignation because of the abuse of the Indians by the Spaniards began to import slaves from Africa to make lighter the work of the Indian laborers. Here was found ed the first university of the New world, when in 1538 a royal charter was granted for the establishment of the University of St. Thomas
 Unfortunately this glorious history was not maintained. Fifty years after the first settlement the Indians had almost been exterminated by the cruel ty of their masters and the finest of the cOnQuistadOres had moved on to conquer new and glorious worlds. For nearly three centuries SantO Domingo dropped out of the notice of the world. In the early part of the Nineteenth century, when the other Spanish col onies were declaring their independ- ence and establishing republics, SantO Domingo endeavored to join this move ment, but she was OverpOwered by the negro despOt of Hayti, and was held under the dominance of the negro re- public until 1844 Then followed twen- ty years of independent life, filled with revolution, after which the country again put itself under Spain for some five years. Again declaring itself as republic, 1t entered an independent existence until 1916, when the govern ment was taken over by the United States navy.

MUST BE TAKEN IN SHADE
Temperature Recorded In Full Rays of the Sun Cannot Be Regarded
 as Accurate.

Weather observations are even more Important to an airship than to water borne craft. Temperature has A great deal to do with the buoyancy of an airship. Here, however, is a paradox : for the aviator, prior to a flight, care fully shades his thermometer from the rays of the sun before reading 1t. al- though his "irship is going to be ex- posed to full sunshine.
 It is the same paradox that gives rise to indignation in the bosom of the average citizen, explains a writer in Popular Science Monthly, when, at the close of brOiling July day, he reads the official weather report ac- cOrding to which the highest tempera- ture was only 90. He feels positive if was at least hundred-and SO if was. over a sun-baked pavement.
 The universal practice of taking air temperatures in the shade is not sheer perversity on the part of the weather man. He would like to he able to an- sWer the question, "HOw hot is if in the sun" Unfortunately, this question merely prompts another: "How hot IS what in tEe sun" A thermometer exposed to the sunshine registers the temperature of the glass and metal of which 1t is made, not the temperature of the air. /
 The shaded thermometer registers more or less accurately the tempera- ture of the air, perhaps the most i'm. portant factor of weather. :

Southern Cypress Has Many coIor..


 Southern bald cypress is about the most variable in color of any of our native woods, and in different locaIi- ties is known as red cypress, yellow cypress, white cypress and black cy- press.
 There is a rather prevalent belief that cypress with dark colored heart wood is the most durable, but the opin- ion of the United States forest pro- ducts laboratory Is that as far as dur ability Is concerned the color of the wood makes very little difference.
 In service records obtained by the laboratory, any difference in the length of service of red cypress and yellow cypress appears to be due entirely to a difference in the amount of sapwood in the timbers. Cypress trees with hght-cOlOred heartwOod usually have more sapwOOd than those with dark colored heartwood. and sapwoOd is not resistant to decay.
 The important thing. If durability Is desired, appears to be to select the heartwOOd of cypress regardless of its shade.

lnereaslno Demand for RIbvsa

The largest budget in over a hun- dred years has just been announced by General Secretary Frank H. Mann for the American Bible society. It amounts to $1,222,36 and is called for by the very great demand for Bibles. The war has created a fam inc of Bibles in certain parts of the world, especially in Austria and cen tral Europe. The adoption of the new phonetic script in China will provide millions of new readers in the next few years. Children can learn the new script In three or four hours, and illiterate men and women in as many weeks.
 The American Bible society is 1O5 years old, and has issued 100000 copies of the Scriptures in 15O lan- guages and dialects.

FAMOUS OLD CITY
Geneva Figures Prominently in
 Pages of History.
Records Show Brave Fight fer lnde- pendence Long Maintained AgaInOt
 Powerful, Interruptions Neighbors.

Geneva, the seat of the League of Nations, witnessed some fierce fight ing in the days when the duke of Savoy sought to destroy its independ- ence with the aid of a contingent of Spanish troops.
 These mercenaries tried to rush the defenses at dead of night, but though some of them managed to get into Geneva, not one of them managed to get out again. Those who were not killed in action were afterward be- headed.
 They still preserve at Geneva seal ing ladders captured from the Span iards on that memorable night, to- gether with the caldrOn out of which & Genevan housewife, who had risen early to prepare her husbands break fast, poured deluge of scalding soup on to the heads of the enemy troops.
 Another relic preserved at Geneva recalls the little band of exiles who worked together there at the transla- tion of the Scriptures, known as the Geneva Bible.
 
 England trey went in a body to the city fathers, who gave them, as the records show, honorable license to depart. together with a testimonial of the satisfaction we have had in them, and an exhOrtatiOn to act fin their turn toward foreigners as we have acted toward them" Then they all wrote their signatures in the "Livre des Anglais," or Book of the English, Geneva archives.
 Though Geneva for some hundreds of years has been a sovereign republic, much of the architectural beauty of the modern town is directly due to the generosity of One-time reigning prince, Charles II, duke of Brunswick WOlfenbuttel.
 The duke, who was born in 1907, sue ceeded at an early age to the throne, and governed so arbitrarily and cruel ly that his subjects appealed to the German diet, which, after some negO- tiation depOsed him and placed his younger brother on the throne. After this Duke Charles, who was very wealthy, wandered about Europe, mak- ing Paris his headquarters. On tLe outbreak of the o-Prusslan~ war in 1870, he finally settled at Geneva where he died in 1873.
 He had been an exile from his own iand for more than thirty years. and if he ever had had any affection for 1t, it had perished during that time; so he constituted the city of Geneva his heir. His will was disputed by his brother and successor, Duke William, who demanded the family jewels and other treasure.
 Before the case came into the courts the duke agreed to compromise, and the city came in for legacy worth about four million dollars. This sum. or a considerable portion of it, has been spent in beautifying the town, building the quays and the elaborate Brunswick monument

If the vote of the candidate Is greater than the sum of the votes cast for all other candi- dates for the same office he has majority. A majority Is more than half, while a plurality may be much less than half.

It is pretty idea that flowers and trees and leafy~ ~boughs are the source of the delicate fabric that we call to- day silk. Virgil speaks of the spin- ming of fieecy forests making them into a slender twine, and another
 writer, POO years after Pliny says, ''the Seres comb the variously col Ored flowers of the land to make
 their precious garments" while Pliny said "the Seres are famous for the wool in their forests, and after steeping it in water, comb off the white down that adheres to the leaves and then give to their women the two fold task of unraveling this fabric and weaving the threads"
