LONDON, October 2.-Americans
visiting England usually put two places
. at the head Of things to see One is vast,
associations with the great in all walks

country, Warwickshire, sacred to all
lovers Of the works of the Bard of
Avon.
WarWickshire is also the scene of
SCOTS 'Kenilworth" and contains the
countrysides described SO we'll by
Washington Irving.
Visitors to Warwickshire prize the
picturesque old cottage Of Mary Arden,
mother OF Shakespeare, at Wilmcote
1t has been restored to much of its
original beauty by the removal of the
plaster that hid the half timber de-
sign OF its outer walls. This cottage is
but short distance from the Strait
ford-on-Avon.
Warwickshire is especially beautiful
with its five estates, quaint villages and
romantic castles. Historic Warwick
Castle has changed but little with the
years. Huge stone walls and towers
rise in grim grayness above a peaceful
landscape of trees and river The
lawns and terraces are ornate with
flower beds and peacocks.
Not far away rise the stately remains
Of Kenilworth Castle, where Queen
Elizabeth was frequent guest.
Few people realize that Stratford-
on-Avon combines many points Of
interest not connected with the Bard
of Avon. Here stands the house where
John Harvard was born. Half of his
estate, bequeathed to Harvard Col
lege, gave to that institution its first
great endowment-and its name the
old house 1t has been restored and
fitted with the furnishings popular in
Harvard's time Many Harvard grad
yates and students call there during
the year.
There is also the Red Horse Inn,
where Washington Irving produced
part Of his Sketch Book" The little
parlor in which he wrote is much the
same as it was during his visit here.

NEW YORK CITY, October q
There is a travellers paradise in the

This new land has not sprung from

place in the world since the world

as 'uninhabitable, but, as Smolka ex-
plains, there are two maps" And
it is of the second map of Northern
Siberia that he speaks.
The author made his survey by in
vitation after expressing his doubts
of the existence of the second map,
which says there can be life; that
ships can travel along the shores;
| that plants can be made to grow in
the soil; that towns can be built, and
that thousands can live there.
