*Twm morning, for we knew It hr
The amber fight around,
- Our ship In clouds like clammy shrouds
Continued to be bound.
The days went by; our latitude
And longitude were nil.
For we were sailing on and on
Through leaden vapors still.
Our voyage neared\ts end; gray clouds
Were heavy overhead.
And clouds beneath us everywhere
Irlka Helds of lilies spread.
**We must be off the coast of France,**
Our captain cried aloud,
And then we landed and behold I
We found *twas In Saint Cloud.

BEGAN WITH GLAZED FRAMES
Gigantic Modem Greenhouses Hava
Grown From Simple Idea of the
Seventeenth Century.
Like everything else, the modern
greenhouse la a product of evolution.
It began in the seventeenth century
under the form of gla7.cd frames set
In front of a wull on which fruit trees
were trained to, keep the sun’s light
and hent within. Also later, to con-,
serve the heat of a due within the
wall. Then it became a room, with
windows for the storage of plants iu
winter, like the orangeries at Ver
sailles arid elsewhere.
Gradually the windows grew larger,
but even up to the beginning of the
nineteenth century a roof was consid
ered unnecessary, as It was believed
that glass overhead would allow the
artificial heat within to escape.
As soon as It was discovered that
the roof could he glazed as well as
the sides without undue loss of heat,
the modern greenhouse came into be
ing, the supports diminished to the
minimum required to support the
glass, and, as might be expected, the
latest thing in glass houses Is a steel
frame with the lateral supports almost
suppressed and with even bent panes
of glass replacing the old-fashioned
eaves. Thus thd greenhouse has eon-’
ttnually traveled further from the
architecture from which It first arose.
ORIGINAL SHYLOCK NOT JEW
New York Scholar Brings Evidence to
Show That Shakespeare's Char
acter Was a .Christian.
That Shylock wan not a Jeer Is
the contention made by Dr. Maurice
Packard, professor of clinical medi
cine at New York Polyclinic Hospital
Medical school. Writing with a great
deal of passion, as well as aehnlerahlo.
wmwi mb wvbmpM an ar
gument that Ahowa the prototype of
Shakespeare’s character was not a
Jew bat a Christian named Secchl, who
actually did wager a pound of hla
own flesh against the thousand scud!
of a Jew named Antonio. This wager
was declared void by Pope Sixtus V.
Subsequently the parts played by
the principals In the case were re
versed by legend. Shakespeare took
the Inaccurate version on which to
base lii9 famous play, making, how
ever. no use of the wager motive. Doc
tor Packard has no difficulty In show
ing that Shylock, as the immortal
dramatist portrays him, ia not true
to Jewish type, but fulfills the de
mands of public opinion of the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries.
At the same time Doctor Packard pays
an ungrudging tribute to the Immor
tal bard for “his protests against
the cruel treatment and unuttera
ble persecution of a class of human
beings too little understood.”
Word “Anzac” of Simple Origin.
How the word “Auzac” was first
used is, of course, a little story In It
self. It Is a story of telegraphic code,
as a matter of fact, for Auzac was
merely Sir W. R. Birdwood*s code
word, chosen by him to serve as tele
graphic address for the Australian and
New Zealand corps when he took com
mand. He may not have realized that,
In cbining a word from the initial let
ters of Important distinguishing words,
ho was following a well-known method
of advertising experts in devising trade
names for goods of particular quality;
nevertheless, the Anzacs were “the
goods,” and they deserved, as they re
ceived, the name which they, and no
body else, could make famous.
