CONV|CTS SHY.
At LURE Of

Fear Lack Of Moral Strength
to Resist Temptation to
Make Escape

AUBURN, N. T., May 19.-'Con-
victs in the oldest prison in use
in New York State prefer to stay
behind the bars rather than enjoy
life in the open as workers in road
camps"
That lis the strange announce
ment of State Superintendent OF
Prisons James Long. who declared
that the moral fear of the tempta-
ton to escape keeps prisoners at
Auburn State Prison from accept
ing the free life OF the road in
stead of the drab monotony inside
the walls.
Auburn, prison is located In the
heart of the Finger Lakes region
and the gangs of convict highway
builders are stationed at wild spots
along the improved roads linking
and circling the inland lake. NOW
that it Is about time to commence
sending men out to work on the
various roads the prison officials
are trying to get together list
of men who desire to be outside
during the summer months.
One would believe 1t an easy
task to get the men interested
but such is not the case. Chances
for a getaway are, numerous. In
this environment the lure Of the
lake country to freedom, to indie
pendence and to recreation In the
zone which was the playground Of
the Indian is a temptation, indeed.
In virtually all cases where es-
capes have been effected from road
camps the convicts have later been
unprecedented. Their sentences were
then extended. II is the grim fear
Of this possibility which. the super
intendent asserts. Is keeping the

W0rld-Fan,ous Statue

The apollo Belvedere" is a famous
statue OF Apollo. discovered in 1895
among the ruins of ancient Antium
and purchased by Pope Julius II when
cardinal. 1t vas placed by him In
the 'BelyNderer of the Vatican palace
at Rome, whence its name. The
Apollo Belvedere Is more than seven
feet in height, and Is probably the work
of Calamis. the Greek sculptor, who
fiourished In the Fifth century before
Christ When the statue was discov-
cred the left hand and the right fore
arm were wanting. These were re-
stored by Montosorli, pupil Of Mi

The patricians of old Pompeii had
most luxurious tastes. Even the COM
mon people had many luxuries Pic
turesque public gardens and frescoed

full gardens was entered through a
carriage pavilion, the high entrance
surmounted by a bell. Across the
threshold a court in white and gold
between two rows of pillars led to the
spacious sloping terraces watered by
a drowsy brook. The twitter OF
thousand birds completed the pastoral
landscape. Excavators have resur-
rected this garden. The lawns are
green again, as they were when Vesuvi-

Long List of Places
of Wonderful Echoes

Most people have heard Of the Wills
pering gallery which surrounds the
dome Of st. Paul's cathedral. But few
living beyond the borders Of the Black
country know that there is singing
cave in the grounds Of Dudley castle.
The cave does not sing, any more than
the famous giided gallery whispers;
but by some accident In Its construc-
ton, the sounds Of voices ring round
Its cavernous walls and become pos
sessed Of such sweetness and power
as to make the cave a place of en-
chantment.
The tomb of the wife Of Sulla, In the
Roman Campagna, will repeat q line
Of poetry which takes two and half
seconds to utter.
In a cave In the Pantheon ut Rome

can create an echo like the report OF
