Capt. H. N. Goss, II. S. N., and note dauthority on naval affairs and international sea power, has written an interesting article for the Haarst newspapers urging the construction of maya 1 base on the Aleuttian Islands, Alaska. He declares it is vital to the United States in defense of the Pacific ocean. Captain Goss explains how Japan. sweeping north easterly across the Pacific, could rav- age our northwest coast with sea- planes, because of our failure. to es- tablish a naval base on these islands, the strategic point for forestalling such attacks.

Leading the Leader Back,

Grover Whaler, former official "greeter" of New York, was talking to a New York reporter about Russia.
 "Russa thinks she is going to lead the world," he said. "Well, Russia in the end will fare like the man in the anecdote.
 My wife, this man said, told me to lead the old cat off somewhere and lose it. So l put the cat in basket and tramped out into the country about eight miles,
 "Well,' said another man, did you lose the cat?'
 Lose it?' said the first man. If l hadn't followed it I'd never have found my way back home.'"

It is altogether probable that. the Delegate to. ongress from Alaska to be elected on November s.. as well as all congressman, will only, serve 22 months of the term of two years for which they will be elected. What is known as the "lame duck" amend- ment to the Constitution provides that congressman shall take office: on January 3, following their election. To make this amendment effective 36 States must, through their legisla= tures,. ratify the. amendment. The other day Texas recorded favorable action, mkaing IT States, and as many State legislatures meet in Jan uary next it is now expected that there will. be sufficient notifications to make tn eamendment effective in 1883, so that the members eletced this year and who take office March A.. 1923, would retire January B.. 1885.

Henry O'Malley, Commissioner of Fisheries, who spent the summer in Alaska, returned to. Washington a few days ago after an officitl visit to Washington, Oregon and California, toawhich section he will return for a short. visit in November. Commis- sioner O'Malley expresses great de- light at tn exceedingly gratifying catch of. nearly 4,500,00O cases. of salmon in Alaska during the. past season, particularly when a number ofs the canneries were closed down. The pack of first-grade red salmon was exceptionally large, with the re- suit that the tax to. be turned into the Territorial treasury will relieve what was feared would be distress ing situation when. the legislature meets to make appropriations, next March.
 The various departments of the Federal Government have submitted to the Bureau of. the Budget their estimates of expenditures for the period from July l, 1,S3, to June 30, 1884.

Farmer Becomes '.Lack'
of Ill Engineers

THE old impression Of farmer as merely
one who works the soil to produce crops or
tends live stock for the yield IN meat, milk and
eggs Is fading before the new-day farming
which has transformed most successful farmers
into engineers.
Farming in these times in order TO pay q
profit entails something more than httl6s
blowing planting, calltivating and harveSttng.{
The agrfcultur1st must understand many OF the
principals Of mechanics, Of entomology, Of con-
struction, Of chemistry and biology He museS
be able 10 do more than through his personar
physical ability against adverse weather condi-,
tions and the passing Of time. He must be
able to plan so as to turn some Of these adverse
conditions to his personal advantage.
The question Of water supply is one, for In
stance, for which planning and preparation can
serve to find an answer A properly laid-out
system of irrigation bitches will protect land
which is likely to suffer either drought or food.
In food times the water Is spread quickly ove1
a large area by means Of the bitches and the
soft condition Of the bottom of the bitches
permits much Of the water to percolate quickly
into the soil. In times of drought these same
bitches serve to carry water from the auxiliary
source Of supply to the same area.

pipe lines that spring water can often be piped
directly to the stock at no cost of time or labor
for the farmer, once the installation is made.
Fields Of irregular size which cause consid-
cradle loss Of time during plowing and culti-
walton periods because of the difficulty OF
maneuvering the farm machinery in some of
the narrow spaces or tight corners can be con-
soldated through elimination of boundary lines
and the Transformation of the fields as nearly
possible into squares or broad rectangular
fields.
1t would be possible to go on at great length
to list various problems which confront the
modern farmer who must fight for efficient
operation in order TO keep his head above the
waters Of insolvency. These few serve 10 Nus
trate the engineering problems which come to
the farmer and which require all the efaci0t
planning an engineer could supply.

A CCORDING to legend her power Of prophecy
n was inherited from her father, the sea god
GlaukoS. Her name was Amalthea, although
Virgil calls here Deiphobe. The first reference
to this seeress of Cumae was in De Mirabilibus,
while historians like Nevius and Piso Censoribus
refer to her.
To Ovid we are indebted for the best descrip-
tion of this mysterious prophecies who, from
the past has re-entered modern life. Ovid has
her reply to a query:
st am a mortal and through my own fault,
before long, this body will be dust. When was
young Apollo, to prove his love, asked the gift
I most desired. I replied, 7 desire to be one
body and soul so many years as there are grains
of sand In my hand
apollo replied, The favor that YOU ask has
little value but to better it I shall prolong
your youth, and not until you are 100 years
old will you become aged and nfrm.'
'Despising the gift Of the god, remained
without consort or lover. Now my beauty Is
gone and am left LII, weak and trembling.
IT must await the termination Of the age
that myself sought and live another 300 Of
the 1000 years I was granted. Eventually
nothing will be left Of me but my voice, the
only thing that heaven wishes to make I'M
mortal The oracle will not be extnguished."
is it the reading of Ovids words that have
] sent occultists hopefully to Cumae trying IN
vain to penetrate beyond Prof. Maillrts
bounds?
The Sibyline books bring the Cumaean Sibyl
into the realm Of history, for they are part
Of the life of Rome. The story goes that an
aged woman appeared before King Tarquin
and offered to sell him nine books In which

What she prophesied the ancient world be-
lieved, and what she wrote Rome cherished.
Somewhere In those corridors under Mount
Cumae certain psychics and occultists believe
that Sibylline prophecies lie buried which may
give guidance to the modern world.
They claim that Prof. Maiuri materialistfc

was written the destiny Of the world. At
Tarquin's refusal to buy, the woman burned
three books.
Then she offered the remaining six to Tarquin
for the original price. He rejected them de-
rsively. But when the mysterious woman
burned three more and again offered him the
remaining three for the same price as the
original nine the King was moved by her un-
canny resistance.
He bought them, begging her to rewrite the
burned volumes This she said she could never
do, nor could she tell him what they contained
unless inspired by the gods.
The books were placed in a chamber under
the Temple Of Jupiter on the Capitoline,
guarded by college of priests who executed
the oracles prescribed The books were de-
stroyed by fire in SO AID. Those which
Augustus removed to the Temple Of Apollo are
still preserved. These are fragments collected
In that mad search throughout the world, IN

not greater, more awe-inspiring.
The Cumaean sibyl used to prophesy In two
ways In that mysterious cavern. Sometimes she
would write her enigmatic utterances ON palm
leaves which were placed at the entrance to the
cave. These were often blown away by the
Winds which accounts for Virgil making Aeneas
ask for a vocal prophecy.
Among the rare finds Of Prof. Maduri Is a
leaf from the Sibyl. It Is not palm leaf, but
Is rather bronze disk on which is inscribed,

necessary to call the image of that fateful seer
ess to mind.
Here" the guide continues, "came Nero to
meet the Sibyl through the corridor from
Baiae, his murdered mother, Agrippina, still
warm in bloody death"
It Is a place in which superstition and legend
blend so awesonely that everything seems cred
ible-Hell, the Sibyl, Cerberus and ALL There
are three chambers filled with fear and mys-
terry Beyond are corridors to Cumae and
Baiae.
The chamber with the Sibyls couch is vault
ed and shows traces of rich and colorful deco
rations The ceiling is still family azure and
the walls show former settings of rich stones.
The story Of the Sibyl-whose Cumaean
sible to the public-is important. 1t symbolizes
the deep desire of humanity to know the in
scrutable will of God
The very name Sibyl is combination Of
words meaning God" and will" History re-
cords 10 Sibyls, and Michael Angelo has i'm
mortalized five of them in the ceiling of the
Sistine Chapel at Rome.
Here the Cumaean, oldest Of the five, clasps
her book of fate and turns her enigmatic face
away from the observer who would learn her
secret The other four painted by Angelo are
the Persian, Libyan, Delphic and Erythrean.
There are five others-the Pythian, Cim-
merriam, Gergithian, Phrygian and Tiburtinan.
Of them all, the Cumaean was the most famous
of antiquity.
For centuries her word was law in Rome.
Even In the dawn Of Christianity her word
was sought in the Sibylline books, where, in
the eighth volume, was foretold the birth Of
Christ.

OCCULTISTS. American among them, who
~ look out over the beautiful but sinister
waters of Lake Avernus today, toward the So
called entrance to Hell and the Sibyrs Grotto,
regard it as a significant coincidence that at
troublous times.
In hours of stress and trouble man has
always sought to know the will of God. The
miserable inhabitants near Lake Avernus-
Hell, to thenl-watch the nearby tunnelng at
Cumae and repeat the question, will the Sibyl
give us hope or despair"
Few spots in the world are so rich in legend,
literature and history Homer, Virgil, Ovid.
Iivy have irnmortalized it. But the big lights
are the Sibyls cave and the entrance to the
lower world-Lake Avernus. The legend
haunted lake over which the ancients believed
no bird could fly is fit setting for tales Of the
occult and the supernatural.
Near the softly tapping waters Of the myste-
rious lake, once the crater Of a volcano, is q
subterranean entrance almost covered by vines
and bushes Glancing backward, the ruined
temple of Apollo, rising among the reeds and
marshes on the farther shore, is lovely pic
ture against the blue sky
Within, the dark corridor stretches on an
upward slant toward the unknown. But on the
right the seeker in the past is led to an OPEN
ing. Beneath is the sound of rushing water.

the prophetic voice of Cumaean Sibyl,
silent for 1000 years, to be heard again,
exhorting troubled world?
Will her mysterious portents resound
once more through the cove OF hundred
] corridors, close by the mouth of Hades?
Will the six lost books of destiny burned by
the Cumaean Sibyl before King Tarquin, reveal
some scattered leaves Of counsel within the
newly discovered Sibyls cave at Cumae?
This really isn't in the least likely as you
probobly don't need to be told But the myth
ical old Sibyl is back in the news these days
for the simple reason that not only her
tabled cave but q leaf of her oracular utter
ances have at last been brought to life.
Prof Amedeo Maiuri, superintendent OF ex-
cavations in Campania, Italy, is the man re-
sponsible.
More than six years ago Prof. Maiuri began
his excavations on the site of ancient Cumae,
Oldest Greek city in Italy, founded in 1856
BE-. six miles from modern Naples. Beneath
the acropolis where, according to ancient
writers, stood the temple of Apollo above the
cave Of Sibyl, he has delved into the long
buried secrets of the past.

trace ones steps and return to the upper air
that is the toll, that the difficulty"
How many high school boys and girls have
groaned over the Sibyl's words as they STUN
bled haltingly in their attempts to translate
Vigirs account Of the affair?
For years the reticulated Roman work has
baffied the seeker for the cavern hewn from
natural rock described by ancient writer's as the
home of the Sibyl. Now, beneath the Roman
work. have been found many inches and alcoves
OF evident Greek origin. These corridors with
Notifications of later Roman period, are
recognized as military tunnels. To such prac-
ticai purposes were the Grecian corridors OF
mystery connecting Cumae and Ayernus put?
While Prof. Maiuri is a materialist, like most
archeologists, he does believe in the connec-
tion between legend, tradition and history. And
the mystic Sibyl, who dwelt near the portals
of the lower world, Lake Avernus, has played
her part in historic annals.
