* SITES OF HISTORIC INTEREST Many Places Around Dutch City of Doom 8hould Be of Internet to the Kaisor. Doorn. the little Dutch town now the home of the former emperor of Germany, Is surrounded by sites that may gtve the former kaiser cause for reflection, says a bulletin of the National Geographic society. At Rhenen he might find an historical companion In misery. Frledrlch of Pfalz, the exiled king of Bohemia, took refuge there. Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of Rhenen Is Its tower, which bears the name of Kunera, after the daughter of the ruler of the Orkney Isles, who accompanied Ursula and her 11.000 virgins on a pilgrimage to Rome. Upon their return, according to the legend, now known to have been based on a misreading of a Latin text, the maidens were coming ashore to Cologne when Hans killed them all except Kunera. Later she leaped to.her death from a castle parapet. Prom the Moravian settlement of Zelst the former kaiser might learn of humility, virtue and genuine piety. Considerable property is held in common by the people. There widows, married women and girls are classified by their attire. At Maarshergen the Pyramid of Austerlltz was erected hy Marmont^s soldiers to commemorate the crowning of Napoleon. At Utrecht the treaty was signed which opened the way for Britain's present great commercial power, os it gave her Gibraltar and several colonies. PURPLE DYE FROM SHELLFISH Possibility That New Industry May Be Developed, Since the Supply le Inexhaustible. On the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, especially in the region about Cocos bay, there abounds a kind of shellfish called the "nvascol," from which a fine purple color Is obtained. So far no way has been found for preserving this dye, and the Industry has remained In the hands of the few old people who take the trouble to dye a few ounces of thread every summer. * The process is very simple. On picking up the shell from the beach or detaching It from a bowlder, the gatherer blows ner breath Into It, wherenpon a few drops of a greenish liquor ooze out. This liquor Is collected In a clamshell and after a sufficient quantity has been collected the thread Is passed through It, soon after assuming, on exposure to the sunlight, a beautiful purple color, which is absolutely fast after it has turned purple. It la thought possible that the dye turns fast only on exposure to the air and that the'liquor could be preserved by keeping the air from It. There is little doubt that this Industry of dyeing thread could be extended to greater proportions If an extensive demand at good prices could be found cur m? nf?BlUIL. Gsnsral Wood's First Battle. When Geronlmo. the last of the great Apache chieftains, began mnrdering American women and most hideously torturing American children In New Mexico and Arlaona, Leonard Wood, then an army surgeon, exchanging bis surgeon** scalpel for a rifle, became one of a famous little company which chased the monster over the sandy and burning plains of the Southwest and northern Mexico, and did not desist until the enemy surrendered. The reports of Generals Lawton ml "'"op <v!fr>cp? to the hcnlthymindeu s<. ai which Wood manifested toward the barbarians who wreaked their savagery on American women and children; and the fact that Wood received that greatest of all military distinctions for his efficient bravery In this campaign?the medal -of congress?Is testimony of the same kind. ?Burton J. Hendrlck in the World's Work. Trunk Line* * ? the Air. Longdistance air transportation will soon be a commonplace. The successful trip from London to Australia recently completed has encouraged Great Britain to lay out a number of great air routes, connecting England by great trunk lines with Its possessions. The service will be maintained at first by airships and later doubtless by airplanes. The first of these trunk lines will connect London with Canada by way of Newfoundland. Another line will operate between London and Egypt and will be extended to South Africa. The air lines will be backed by large government subsidies.?Boys' .V ... rtM? :?
