Chapman Writes of Travels CONTINUED FROM last week The legends that are told you by ' tlie guides are extremely interest- | ing and as 1 have told the name of the founder of Rome, I might recite one of the legends as to his origin. His grandfather, fearing the chil dren of his brother might revolt to his usurpation, caused his only son to be murdered and made his daughter, the mother of Romulus, a vestal virgin and compelled to live and die unmarried. This vir gin, however, by the God of Mars became the mother of twins. She was accordingly put to death be cause she had broken her vow, and her babes doomed to he drowned in a river nearby. This river, the Ti ber, overflowed its hanks and the cradle in which the babes were placed was stranded and overturned on the root of a wild tig tree. They were discovered by a she wolf and carried into her den and she suckled them, and when they wanted other food a wood-pecker, a bird sacred to Mars, brought it to them, They were aftenvaads discovered by the king’s shepherd. So it would seem from this that Moses was not the first babe to he found in the reeds and Elijah not the first to he fed by birds. This legend goes to prove that or igin is not so essential and that man’s destiny lies in his own hands. W hile in Naples I went out to Pompeii and visited the old ruins of this lava covered city. Much of this lava has since been cleared away, rev--aling the walls and IVnn dalions of hull lings in which thous- How to Cpoa a Can of Corn.

The million would secure a blazing diamond, easily turned into lampblack; not so easily—intense beat would be required. However, coal and wood are really more valuable than diamonds. They surrender life giving beat, while the only use so Un discovered for diamonds is to cut glass, and for this carborundum is a good substitute.

Mystery of tho Egg. An egg for one thing is a succession of bags, bagged up in one another, a series of envelopes enveloped in one another, bags and envelopes without joints, seam 3or openings. Puzzles, ships buiit up and full rigged in bot tles, flies in amber, are simply simplic ity itself as puzzles when it comes to how these bags wrap one another up. bag in bag. In a lien’s egg there are eight or nine or ten of the sacks in sacks ensac-ked. Everybody thinks he knows what an egg is, and after weary reading and study in many languages he only begins to learn that nobody knows a tiny fraction of all the world of secrets and mysteries hidden in an egg. “As full of meat as an egg” is not the true comparison, but “as full of mystery as an egg” Is nearer the truth. Eggs are the greatest puzzle in all nations.—New York Press. No Cause For Worry.

I also visited the mouth of the crater of Mt. Ve suvius which was reached by the cable ears. This famous old volca no is still sending forth a vapor la den with sulphuric fumes. From Naples I sailed for New York via the Mediteranean and Gi braltar reaching my point of desti nation two weeks later, where the land seemed greener and the villas along the New Jersey coast more ar tistic and cozy than any I had seen on my long journey home. The ti ip across was not lacking in excitement, as twice we encoun te?bd terrific winds and were forced stop the machinery on account of our boat plunging so. Three deaths occured affording us more fortunate passengers the opportunity of wit nessing the solemn sight of a burial at sea. Taking into consideration that we had in the neighborhood of three thousand passengers, fifteen hundred of which were Italian im migrants, our death rate was re markably low. 1 must say in conclusion that my travels abroad and my knowledge of other countries makes me a more loyal American citizen and I can now appreciate our dear old land of liberty as never before.

The Title “Esquire.” . The title “esquire” is derived from the Trench word ecuycr (a shield bear er) and originated in the old days of chivalry, when, as is well known, each knight appointed one or more persons of gentle Girth to carry his shield and perform other honorable services. T-’icse persons wore known as Squires, or, more accurately, esquires, and were of such birth as would per mit ..of their being in their turn cre ated knights when they should have merited the distinction by deeds of valor or otherwise. In the reign of ltichard 11. the status of au esquire was granted for the first time by let ters patent as a title of honor merely, no duties being attached. This meth od of creation is now obsolete, but it marks an advanced stage in the de cay of chivalry, which decay resulted in the titles “knight” and “esquire” becoming wholly honorary.—Pall Mall Gazette. A Lazy Man. A worthy old citizen of Newport who had the reputation of being the laziest man alive among “them hil locks,” so lazy, indeed, that be used to weed his garden in a rocking chair by rocking forward to take hold of the weed and backward to uproot it, had a way of fishing peculiarly his own. He used to drive his tea white faced mare to the spot wnefe The tautog (blaekfisk) might be depended on for any weight, from two to twelve pounds, backed his gig down to the water side, put out his line and when the tautog was safely hooked start ed the old mare and pulled him out.
