An interesting romance

The admirers of the great
pianist hope it is true and
that he will be happy for
though he has had a bril-
liant career, it has been a
tragic one as well.
He has made vast sums of
money on his concert tours
and has also spent vast
sums, for wherever he has
gone he las travelled in a
private car with at least
three friends to keep him
company and make a bridge
foursome, for he loves cards.
This enthusiasm for cards
seems to be shared by a
number of great musicians,
notable among them Rach-
mammoth, who is playing

Odd Floating Islands

Near the City of Mexico is the
Lake of Xochimilco, nearly covered
with floating gardens, called chin
ampas, on which are raised flowers
and vegetables for the city markets.
They are formed Of floating masses
of water plants, covered with soil,
and secured by poplar stakes. The
latter take root, and surround the
islands with living hedges. Among
the largest natural floating islands
are those formed by tangled masses
Of trees and brushwood carried
down by great rivers.
On the Mississippi and Its tribu-

RATS" One of the most remark
able Of these RATS began forming
in the Atchafalaya, one of the lower
arms of the Mississippi, In 1878, and
gradually increased until by 1915 1t
had extended to ten miles In length,
over six hundred yards In width,
and eight feet In length. Although
1t rose and fell with the water,
1t was solid enough to support the
growth of trees, some of which were
sixty feet In height This vast OBJ
struction was finally removed by the
state of Louisiana at great expense.
