25. What became Of the Mausole-
um of Halicarnassus?
The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus,
in Garia, built in $50 b. c. and torn
down in 1902 A. D., was the fifth
wonder. Mausolus, as was the Gus
tom of the Kings of Caria, had mar
ried his sister, and when he died his
sister-wife erected this magnificent
monument to his memory. On plat
form at the top was stone chariot,
within which stood statues of Mauso-
lus and his spouse, Artemasia. An
earthquake shook the chariot from its
position in 1402, which was the same
year the Knights of st. John of Jeru-
salem took Halicarnassus and tore
down the mausoleum. using the
stones to construct the fortress of st.
Peter.
26. What bank was awarded first
place in the Third U. S. Liberty Loan
drive?
At the close of the Third Liberty
Loan Drive, the United States Treas
ury Department awarded first place
among all banks of the country to a
Negro bank, the Mutual Savings,
Portsmouth, Va. This bank was Civ
en- a quota of $500 to raise. A total
of over 100000. almost twenty
times the stipulated quota, was
raised. In the Fourth Liberty Loan
this bank was assigned $4,000. 1t
raised $115,000.

er?
After the betrayal and death of
Toussaint L'Ouverture, insurrection
blazed anew, and coupled with yell
low fever, the ranks of the French
were so thinned until they were
forced to capitulate to the dauntless
Haitians. Leaders vastly different to
Toussaint rose in Haiti; first Dessa-
lines, who styled himself emperor
then Christophe, who chose the title
King. But in 1920 a better period
was opened by Jeanne Pierre Boyer

SEA ADDS TO ENGLAND's SIZE
Silt Cast Up by the Ocean Retained
In Such q Manner That q New
Beach 10 Being Formed.

England's area Is growing. Some
geographers In London say that In a
few years it win be necessary to revise
the physical maps Of the country as a
result OF the phenomenon. For in
stance the coast line at Hastings Is
now half a mile nearer France than Il
was some time ago. In the dim future
II may be permissible for tourists to
regard the English channel with dis
dain. Coastal erosion formerly caused
much concern, especially on the part of
big land owners; but now engineers
have got busy and have been able not
only to check erosion In some parts of
the shore by means Of groins, but to
add large slices Of land to England's
littoral. An elaborate system Of groins
on the south coast has been developed
to check the ravages Of the floods
which at spring tide used to put some
Of the streets Of Hastings under water.
A groin Is a sort Of breakwater built
across beach in such q manner as to
retain the sediment washed up by high
tide, together with the earth that
otherwise would float away at .ebb.
Thus not only have the floods been re-
duced, but new beach developed.
While the south coast is rapidly re.
gaining new territory, the eastern and
northern shores are losing consider
able, particularly In Lincolnshire. But
losses are not proving as great as land
reclaimed, and It Is expected that the
construction Of groins will be as ef-
fective elsewhere as 1t has been on the
channel,
