Every one is familiar with the old story of the
father who took his into the yard and handing him
sticks one at time, asked him to break them When
all were broken the father took equal number of
similar sticks and tied them in bundle. Handing these
to his son he said NOW break these" The boy was
unable so much to bend them. "In union there is
strength"
After the gners of the Declaration of independence
had attached their to that immortal document,
Benjamin Franklin said "Now gentlemen must all
hang together will all hang separately" He
pointing the truth which the father exempifed
with the sticks.
Time was, perhaps, when Albuquerque practiced
this great principlebut not of late. Each has
alone. We have broken each others sticks. Jeal
ouses, rivalries quarre have prevented from bind
ing interests together One by plans have
been broken.

29 men were drowned
New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia,
Rhode Island and Nebraska.
All were built in private ship
building plants, each for about
$6,500,000, and were completed in
1905, except the Rhode Island,
which was not finished until 1907.
They range in speed from 1872 to
1926 knots. They are of 1898
tons displacement. OF the five,
three, the Rhode Island, New Jer-
sey and Nebraska, were at the cap
ture of Vera Cruz.
The explosion of two 100-pound
charges of powder in a superim-
posed turret of the Georgia on
July Is. 1907, caused the death
of one officer and seven men and
the injury of a score of others.
The accident happened while the
Georgia was cruising off the coast
Of Massachusetts,. On September
23, 1910, one of the forward 12-
inch guns Of the Georgia burst,
but no one was injured.
Maine and Missouri.
ON 1880 tons displace-
ment, they were built by private
firms, costing about $5,165, 900
each, and Were completed in 1902
and 1908. Each has speed Of
IS knots. Tho Maine was built
as a memorial to the battleship
Maine which was sunk in the
Spanish american war. On April
Is, 1904, there was an explosion
on the Missouri In which 33 lives
We're lost.
South Carolina and Michigan.
OF 10000 tons displacement,
these two first-line ships were
completed in 1910 by private con-
tract. each at cost of about
$500, 1000. The Michigan Is the
faster of the two, having a speed
of 2O.01, while the South Carolina
makes but 1868. At the time Of
completion these vessels were con-
sidered the highest type of fight
ing ship then existing, exceeding
in power those Of any other coun-
try. Six men on the Michigan
were killed on January Is, 1918,
by the breaking of foremast in
a heavy gale.

COMMON CARRIERS-AND
A FEW NOT SO COMMON

Tractors are crawling over the snow
covered fields IF northern Greenland
carrying the supplies of the Lane Koch
expedition. This novel use Of new
born vehicle recalls that some of the
oldest transportation methods still are
employed in regions whose civilization
is older and higher than that of the
Greenland Eskimo.
The OK cart still serves the Southern
"darky" in North Carolina, Georgia,
and Alabama, as well as in other por-
tions of the South, as his coach and
four for the Sunday "go-to-meeting."
During the week the stolid beast plows
tobacco and cotton fields. In India
bullocks hitched to a wagon with an
ornate beehive shaped or elongated
covering, not unlike the picturesque
tobacco schooner, convey the Burmese
man and his family along the road to
Mandalay. Nor does this animal cease
being a means of transportation upon
his death. The natives blow up his
skin and use 1t as a float or raft on
which they cross the rivers.
In arctic regions and In Alaska par

he is the means by which letters, par

lent upheaval of Krakatoa In 1883.
Then mother nature turned anarchist
and planted a gargantuan Internal ma
chine on the doorstep OF Java.
Krakatoa is little island in the
Sunda strait, between Sumatra and
Java. Australians, as far from the
explosion as New York Is from El
Paso, heard the terrific detonation !;
more than half the island was blotted
out. parts of 1t were flung aloft -FOUR
times as high as the worlds highest
mountain, and to touch bottom below

Skyscraper waves flooded adjacent is

earth. Every human eardrum heard
though 1t may not have registered, the
air waves as they vibrated three or

Krakatoa levied a smaller toll in
human life than Klot, because OF It's
isolation, and many Of the 3o,OOO
deaths from Krakatoa's eruption were
at far-distant points by drowning.
An eruption anywhere on the island
means disaster. for Java, about equal

betoken another physical feature of
the island fraught with human trag-
edy. Not only has 1t steaming vents,
spoutlng geysers, sulphur lakes, but

TEMPLE STONES THAT
MAY BECOME HEARTH
, STONES

Cable reports recently stated that
Marlborough Rocks, one Of the best
known of the so-called Druid Circles
of England, would be broken up and
used by a company for building homes.
The reports bring to mind what
might be termed the flight for sur
vival" of the monuments and works OF
art of past ages against the activities
of later generations.
During the dark ages priceless mar
BILE statues by Praxiteles and other
Greek masters of sculpture were
burned to make lime. In northern
Africa and Asia Minor, in numerous
places where classical ruins are found,
beautifully chiseled stones-physical
symbols of "the glory that was Greece
and the grandeur that was Rome
have been built into the uncouth huts
Of the natives. The smaller stones
from Druid Circles" and avenues"
lying on the surface Of the ground
ready quarried, have long fallen prey
to nearby peasants in all the couh-
tries in which they occur. Even the
Stonehenge, on Salisbury Plain, Eng
supposed Druid temples and one OF
the most striking of the uninscrlDed
monuments of the world, has not en-
tlrely escaped the hand of the vandai
The larger monoliths are too massive
for easy removal, but some of the
smaller stones have disappeared ana
are reported to have been built into
bridges and mill dams of the adjacent
countryside.
Relatively small stone circles and
parallel rows of monoliths known as
avenues" are numerous in England
Wales. Scotland and Ireland. They
also are found in numbers In western
Europe, especially in France, and tc
a lesser degree in northern Africa, ano
in southern Asia as far east as india
Among them however, the compara
lively few great groups stand ou'
prominently. atonehenge differs from
most of the other circles in the great
size of the upright stones, and In the
fact that massive lintels are placed
from upright to upright, forming tril
ithons. The placing of the concentrit
circles and outlying marker stones OF
axis points practically 20 the rising
sun on the longest day of the year
the summer solstice-has led to gen
eral acceptance of the theory that
this was a temple for sun worship.
Because of an astronomical change
which slowly shifts the apparent point
of sunrise at successive summer sol
stices, it has been possible to compute
the date of the building of Stonehenge
as approximately 1880 b. G. 1t Is be
lieved that the smaller circles and the
avenues and other monuments of great
stones belong to approximately the
same period, which is the late Neoith
ic age While the larger circles like
the Stonehenge and Marlborough Rocks
doubtless are temples for sun worship
and human sacrifice, 1t Is believed thai
the smaller groups of stones mark bu
rial places

THE LONG, LONG TRAIL OF
THE GYPSY

Now that the weather is becoming
mild again, some fine day you Will
discover u camp of gypsies near your
doorstep and wonder where in the
world they came from. The world has
been wondering for many century
whence the original gypsies came.
George Borrow relates that the first
gypsies made their appearance In MOL
dayia In 1417, and no one seems to be
very certain In regard to their place
of origin. The original 5000 increased
to formidable proportions in century
or two, and Maria Theresa and Joseph
III tried to civilize them, with no sue
cess.
In the early days each little band
had a captain whom they honored with
the title of count. To secure the COW
eted position this leader had to be
valiant and courageous In the pillag-
ing expeditions for food and sagacious
and crafty enough to settle their cls-
putes. For this he was allowed third
of anything that the band stole.
Despite their marauding tendencies,
and their more or less contemptuous
attitude toward people not "of the
blood" they have a code of morals
which contains many excellent require
ments. A true gypsy must not have
uuarrelsome disposition, and he never
reveals the secrets of the brotherhood.
Though they make the rest of mankind
their lawful prey, they are capable OF
great sacrifices for each other. They
pledge themselves never to marry out
of their own sect, nor will they teach
their language to anyone not gypsy
by blood or adoption.
Their daredevil spirit perhaps has
had Il passing influence on most of the
countries In which these wanderers
have lived At least England is ac-
credited with having contracted her
love of horse racing from them, and
they are nearly always to be found
among her jockeys and in attendance
upon her Derbys.
Pretending a knowledge of the meta
physical and dabbling in fortune telling
have always been within the province
of the gypsy women. They have
claimed that they could witch away
troublesome ailments of the heart and
have compounded queer love philters
which instead of lmbuing the unfortun-
ate taker with a steadiness Of aim with
his love arrows, have poisoned his d.
gestive tract.
But they realize the monetary value
of the myth concerning, their ability
to divine the future, and have since the
beginning of their history capitalized
1t. In Spain where large proportion
of the race now lives, travellers say
that they find neatly whitewashed
caves lighted by electricity, and that
even gypsy royalty will caper and ca
reer around in fantastic dances for
the coins of casual visitor.

4 CHILDREN'S LIBRARY
An anthology of Good Litera-
tre Intelligently arranged

Six volumes of good literature, edited
with care for children from three to
hfteen years of age, have just appeared
under the comprehensive title Of MY
Bookhouse,' published by the Rook
House for Children. Chicago. The
series is edited by Mrs. Olive Beauprc
Miller, a Smith College graduate. who
has had experience In teaching aIrl in
mothering her own children. Her se-
Lotions have been made after three
tests. The story or poem must be liter q.
ature, 1t must be interesting and il must
be constructive. Mrs. Miller might have
failed to produce an anthology deserv
ing consideration II by constructive she
had meant "preachy." But she ap.
parently knows too much about child
psychology to admit any scrmonizing.
by constructive she means that the &C.
lcctions must exhibit fine human quail
tiles in action in a way to appeal and
not to repcl the child. For example.
in the fifth volume she includes the
story of Joan of Arc, of Robert Bruce.
of William Tell and of the home COM
ing of Ulysses.
The child who reads these books will
acquire taste for the hest there is in
literature, and will in many instances
be led to read the great books from
which selections are made. The vol
umes are artistically illustrated and
bound in substantial manner so that
they will stand long reading by many
