by little. It is destined to reign
over the place where the cruel and
tyrannical emperor, believing himself
master of the world, thought he
alone had the right to rule.
But the waves themselves offer
strange paradoxes. While the Tyrrhenian
Sea is eating away in this
vicinity the cliffs and the strand of
anoient Latium, on the other hand
fon the opposite or eastern coast of
Italy the Adriatic is constantly movy
ing away from the ancient Etruscan
town which gave it its name.
Adria, which three thousand years
ago was a famous and flourishing
seaport, lies to-day desolate and forgotten
in the midst of fields of corn,
of vineyards and of prairies, twentyfive
kilometres distant from the sea,

at the rate of ten metres or so every
year, on account of the alluvium of
the Po and the Adige.
Alluvial Deposits.
Like the Rhone, in France, and
the Nile, in Egypt, the Po and the
Adige are constantly bringing down
soil from the higher ground and carrying
it to their mouths. The floods
to which this region was subject from
the beginning of the thirteenth century
necessitated recourse to dykes,
and they have since caused the adoption
of a general system of embankment,
with the result that the Po and
the Adige and almost all their tributaries
are now kept within artificial
borders, which are very much raised

thus restrained acquire gives
them the power to transport to the
sea a very much larger quantity of
| sediment than formerly. Thus the
deltas of the Po ana the Adige have
constantly encroached upon the Adriatic;*
Moreover, a part of the sand
and slime, which in a natural condition
of things would have been spread
over the plain by annual floods, is deposited
on the bottom of the beds of
the streams, whose capacity thus becomes
diminished.
It therefore becomes necessary to
STRENGTH OF.
How It Kills Human I
Other A
Of all the existing man apes the gorilla
is heyond question the most formidable,
a large male standing not
infrequently over five feet six inches
in height, and bones being known of
on? which apparently measured in
life no less than six feet two inches.
It is not, we now know from experience
in the gardens and elsewhere,
always when young so "utterly untamable
a. beast" and so "entirely and
constantly an enemy of man" as Du
Chaillu represented, but it is savage
and morose enough.
It is still uncertain whether in a
wild state, except in the immediate
moment of attack, it ever actually
-walks erect without either resting its
knuckles <3n the ground or supporting
itself by a branch overhead, but that
it does beat its fists upon its breast
? -when enraged (Du Chaillu says that
he heard the noise "like a great bass
drum" at a distance of a mile) is established.
and when the male gorilla
turns, as seemingly it does, to confront
man fearlessly when attacked,
with its huge size, its great hairy
limbs, and hideous head set almost
down into its shoulders, we can believe
that "no description can exceed
the horror of its appearance." Add
that the gorilla usually lives in the
depth of forests where the light is so
dim that it is difficult to see any ob-1
ject clearly at a distance of more than
a few yards, and it is not to be won'
dered at that the natives have invest- J
^ } ed it with attributes even more hor,
rific than those which it possesses.
Many believe the gorilla to be Luman;
others hold that, though itself
im a beast, it is often informed with the
WU transmigrated spirits of the human
dead. It- is said to lie in wait!

A ?up to its lurking place. It is cred&
ited with capturing and stealing women
and carrying them off to keep
them in the forests, and, armed -with
clubs, is said to attack and beat off
elephants. The formldableness of the '
great apes as compared with other

that the lion and the gorilla

and carry it back to the banks.
This gradual raising of these rivers
has the result that in our day they
cross the valley on a greatly elevated
bed like water that runs in an aqueduct.
It follows that the surface oi
the Po, for example, is higher than
the roofs of the houses of Ferrara.
Encroachments of the Land.
The increase of the land is considerable
in aefl this region. The town
of Ravenna, which was formerly surrounded
by lagoons and was a seaport
like Venice, and under Augustus
was a naval station for the Adiatic
fleet, is to-day ten kilometres from
the sea and its only communication

Besides, all along this coast, sc
celebrated in history, may be seen the
works of man in constant struggl<
with nature and only dominating hei
on condition of subjecting himsel1.
to her laws. But, on the whole, th(
victory remains with nature. Th<
works of man are nevertheless lasting.
All the marvels of ancient ari
which have escaped the carnage oi
wars, of invasions and of revolutions
and which have been preserved
for us, often by the earth iself, and
handed down from century to century,
bear testimony to this.
Vestiges of Former Glory.
The ancient lighthouse of Adria
washed by the waters of the sea three
thousand years ago, is still standing,
but for a long time it has not looked
out upon the Adriatic, which is constantly
moving away. It has become
the belfry of a church. This lighthouse,
which antedates the foundation
of Rome, could tell us of mans
human depravities if only as the witness
of its neighbor, Ferrara, the
famous city over which still, hangs
the tragic memory of Lucretia Borgia.
For example among other deeds,
it might remind us of the following:
Marquis Obizzon d'Este, detested foi
his cruelty, strangled by one of hie
sons; Alberto, who cut off his nephew's
head and burned his wife alive;
Marquis Giovanni d'Este and his wife
torn to pieces with red hot pincers;
Nicolas III., legitimatized son of Alberto,
cutting off the head of his second
wife and aiding in the bloodj
quarrels of his twenty-two natural
children; Hercules I., causing hit
nephew to be hacked to pieces, cutting
off the right hand and puttin?
out an eye of 280 conspirators; his
son, Hippolyte d'Este, causing the
eyes of his brother Julius to be ton
out on account(of his rivalry in love
etc. In this order of things mar
sometimes seems to surpass nature.
To return to her from these scenes
the secular transformation of coasts
constitutes one of the most interesting
chapters in the history of oui
planet. Everything is rapidly changing
on our mobile globe. Alone the
progress of mind triumphs over the
slow and inexorable work of Time
whose Scythe gathers in its harvesl
everything about it. and this progress
is perpetually upward toward the conquest

~ BRAIN BACKERS FOR

Album, Gift to Postmasteri
General, Shows Whar They
Have to Contend With.
Postmaster-Gene al Hitchcock has
received as a present from W. E.
Blizzard, a steamship mail clerk, an
. album containing traced samples of
queer addresses on some of the letj
ters that cross the ocean. When a
r passenger on the St. Louisin 1906 Mr.
[ Hitchcock in talking with the mail
. clerk became so interested in the
; subject that the clerk said he would
i gather a few specimens and send
them to him. There are forty of the
tracings, each pasted neatly in the
little green morocco-covered alfaim,
. and on the page opposite each is a
i short story of the letter and a com

it.

This superscription was taken from
I the envelope of a letter mailed in
Russia and no address or other clue
. for the delivery of the missive api
peared upon the envelope.
. Again an Instance of the mistaken
postscript appears in the last specimen
in the collection, which Mr. Blizzard
has described as "an old address
vet a most appropriate one
with which to write 'Finis.' " This
envelope bore the legend:

To Bake Potatoes.
Baked potatoes are a staple article
of diet in most families. They are in- j
expensive and easy to prepare. Yet I
constantly as they are used it is rare f
to find one well baked?the skin is |
: either burned or the contents are not j
I mealy. |
| Do not have the oven too hot for
i baked potatoes. If they are done in a
moderate heat for a longer time they ,
will be more evenly cooked.
Pricking the small end of a potato ,
i with a fork before putting it in the
oven will keep the skin from bursting, i ?
A German cook noted for her deli- J J
cious baked potatoes washes them '
j carefully, then rubs the skin with ' '
pure lard before putting them in the 1
oven. They are much more delicate^'
and. tender all through when so 1
cooked. | ?
A pleasant variety in baked pota-1 1
toes is to skin them when raw, rub 5
them over with a greased paper 1
dipped in butter and baked in the or- '
dinary way. 1
j In serving baked potatoes they
should be passed on a folded napkin, c
i and taken with the fingers rather than 1

nearly three times the size oi

and Quiet," "My Wife

I "About two years ago my eyes got in

about. They were terribly inflamed, both
f . the balls and lids. I tried home remedies
' without relief. Then I decided to go to our
family physician, but he didn't help them,
j Then I tried two more of our most promi- '
l. nent physicians, but my eyes grew contini
ually worse. At this time a friend of mine
" I advised me to try Cuticura Ointment, and
" I after usins it about one week my eyes were i
i considerably improved and in two wee Its j
they were almost well. They have never i
given me any trouble since and 1 am now
f sixty-five years old. I shall never fail to
praise Cuticura. G. H. Halsey, -Mouth of
