happens that tlie general public Knows
but little Of the marvels that are
among US.
For instance, down on the Texas
border-at Laredo, to be exact-the
United States Department of Agrlcul-
ture operates fumigating plant or
vat which is sufficiently large to &C.
commodate train Of fifteen freight
cars at one time.
Freight cars arriving In the States
from Old Mexico are infected with
live, pink bollworm-a pest which
feeds and devours the unripened pods
of the cotton plant. If permitted to
enter and scatter In this country, 1t
would, provided it gained much head
way, create losses running into the
millions of dollars annually.
To prevent this loss and preserve
the crop, therefore, such cars are un-
tremendously shunted into these watts
and the unwelcome bollworms aboard
accorded Knockout reception.
This plant resembles long, brick
shed. After the cars are received,
the doors are closed and the plant
is flooded with gas, generated on
the spot, the fumes Of which are sure
death to bollworms. At the end OF
an hour or more, the gas is drawn off,
the cars removed and sent on their
way and the plant is ready for the
next Incoming train.
Other similar, but smaller, plants
are located at various coast points.

THE PLYMOUTH ROCK
BY TT. MAxEY
@. Western Newspaper Union.

THE PLYMOUTH ROCK
yXJHEN the Pilgrim Fathers landed
w from the Mayflower at Plymouth,
Massachusetts they stepped out upon
boulder which has become famous
as the Plymouth Rock.
This rock Is said to weigh seven
tons, possess greenish hue, to be
very hard and Its surface capable Of
taking high polish. Oval In shape
and having a fiat top, It offered
made-to-order landing place for the
forefathers. Scientists declare that 1t
was undoubtedly carried by glacier,
from some strange and distant land.
Like most movable things Of pecul-
lar historic value, a loving public has
been wont to disturb this valued relic
and change its location. In 1774,
while plans were under way to move
the rock to the town square, 1t was
discovered that the action Of the ele-
ments had separated the upper and
lower portions. Nevertheless, the top
portion was moved. In 1890 years
later-it was again moved, this time
to a location In front of Pilgrim Hall
and inclosed with an iron fence. Here
1t remained for forty-six years. Then
It was decided that the rock should
he returned to It's original location.
Accordingly after separation of
more than one hundred years, the up
per portion of the rock was carefully
placed over the lower portion, where
II now reposes under an ornate can
opy.
Here. this treasured shrine, to which
come visitors from every cline, shall
undoubtedly remain for all time, look
ing much the same as when its side
was first grazed' by the good ship
Mayflower.

WHERE WASHINGTON
WORSHIPED
BY T.T.MAxEY
o, Western Newspaper Union.

ISToRY shows that the plot of
L i ground on which stands Christ
church, In the quaint, old-fashioned
town of Alexandria, Virginia, first
settled about 1895, was acquired In
1904 for the sum of one penny.
Around this sacred relic of by-gone
days perhaps revolves more patriotic
sentiment than that which surrounds
any other of the many old and his
torlc churches In this nation. An iron
fence set upon an ancient brick wall,
encloses a grassy plot which is dotted
with many quaint grave stones and
also contains the church Itself
Although certain interior changes
and renewals necessarily have been
made, the general APPEARANCE of the
church is practically the same as in
the days of old. The same chancel
rail, communion table, reading desk
and chairs and brass candle holders
are In use, while among the relics In
the vestry may be seen the first bible
used-made In Scotland In 1776, and
the long-handled purses In which the
offerings of the parishioners were de-
posted.
1t was to this church, both before
and after the revolution as well as
after retiring from the presidency,
that General George Washington came
from Mount Vernon, In his coach and
four, to worship. The pew occupied
by the Washington family, as well as
the one used by General Robert e.
Lee, are maintained in exactly the
same condition as when used by them,

WONDERS
OF AMERICA
THE DEVILS TOWER
BY MAxEY
@, Western Newspaper Union.

THIS peculiar freak Of nature
i which has become one of Uncle
Sans National Monuments, Is located
near Sundance In northeastern WyO-
ming. 1t Is gigantic rock, 600 feet
high, probably 60 feet In diameter at
the top and mile around at the
base. Rising sheer from the level
plain, 1t is visible in some directions
for almost hundred miles.
Undoubtedly this tower was useful
to primitive races as well as to early
pioneers as a landmark. IT'S thought
that during the subsequent Indian
wars members of the Sioux and Crow
tribes directed their marches by the
aid of fires and other signals flashed
from this ever-visible tower.
AS one approaches this monstr0us
rock, his amazement and awe in
,creases, because It seems incredible
that any force Of Nature could have
carved this solitary monument.
To climb to the top would seem an
impossibility, yet it is said that a
number of years ago a man and a
woman accomplished this feat sue
cessfully.
Now that the war Is behind us and
Uncle Sam has more time to devote
to home matters, 1t seems not unlikely
that he may deem 1t advisable to
send an expedition to the top Of his
new possession and cause series Of
stairways to be constructed for the
accommodation and convenience of
venturesome tourists bent On getting
acquainted with their own country.
