+
+There does not seem to be any prospect of a settlement of the Turkish
+troubles.
+
+The various European powers have called the Sultan to account for the
+massacres in Armenia, and laid out a system of reforms, which they think
+should be made.
+
+But this is as far as they have got.
+
+"You may lead a horse to the water, but you cannot make him drink." The
+various powers of Europe are learning that this is a very true saying.
+
+They have decided upon the reforms that Turkey ought to make, but they are
+as puzzled as they can be to know how they are going to make the Sultan
+order these reforms.
+
+Germany, France, Italy, Austria, England, and Russia have been discussing
+the matter for weeks.
+
+They have been saying among themselves, "What on earth are we going to do
+if Turkey flatly refuses to make any reforms at all?"
+
+This is the European conundrum.
+
+The consequence is, that the full list of reforms has not yet been given
+to the Sultan.
+
+All the powers are feeling that it is of no use to tell him what they
+insist shall be done, until these same powers have made up their minds
+what they are going to do, if he tells them all to go away and mind their
+own business.
+
+England suggests that, if the Sultan refuses, they shall call out their
+soldiers and sailors, and fight him till they make him obey.
+
+Russia is unwilling that the Sultan should be forced to do what he does
+not wish to do.
+
+The Russian Minister at Constantinople says that he knows for a fact, that
+if the powers do anything to lower the Sultan's dignity in the eyes of
+Europe, all the Turks will rise and make war upon the offending country.
+
+Russia says that to carry out the reforms that Europe asks for will take
+money, and she thinks it would be wiser for Europe to provide Turkey with
+the necessary money, and then keep an eye over her, and, through the
+control this loan of money would give, see that the reforms are carried
+out.
+
+This seems the most sensible plan, but nothing has been decided upon.
+
+The desired reforms deal entirely with the way the various provinces shall
+be governed.
+
+Turkey is a very large empire, and the trouble with the present system of
+government is, that the Sultan does not have resident ministers for the
+various parts of it, as other countries do, but governs the whole himself,
+being guided entirely by the advice of the few people near him in his
+palace, who do not know the affairs of the empire any better than he does,
+but advise him according to their own whims, or prospects of making money
+out of the country. The result is great injustice to the people.
+
+Europe feels that this is not a proper way to govern a great country, and
+insists that he shall rule his people with law and justice.
+
+Europe says that the Sultan must appoint ministers to govern the different
+parts and departments of his empire, and that he must, as other sovereigns
+do, ask the advice of his ministers before he makes the laws, and not be
+guided entirely by personal favorites and friends.
+
+While all Europe is uneasy about him, the Sultan is keeping very quiet,
+not letting any one have the smallest idea what he means to say or do when
+these reforms are offered to him.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The Czar of Russia is quite ill, and every one feels sorry that he should
+be sick now, when his advice and assistance are so badly needed to settle
+the worrying Turkish question, which has so troubled Europe.
+
+The young Czar Nicholas, who was crowned with so much pomp and glory at
+Moscow last August, seems unable to carry on the government of Russia.
+
+Many people say he is too weak to govern, and that there are going to be
+troubles and revolts in Russia.
+
+The truth of the matter seems to be, that the young Czar is a gentle,
+kind-hearted man, who will not govern Russia in the stern, cruel way that
+his forefathers have done, and who is therefore thought to be weak and
+incapable.
+
+While he is making a part of his people love him for his goodness, by far
+the larger half, who have, under the old rule, been able to make money
+and gain great power, are furious against him.
+
+Poor young Nicholas is not only hated by the people who were most friendly
+to his father, but by the Nihilists, who look upon him as their natural
+enemy, and, between the two parties, it is said that the Czar goes about
+in constant fear of his life.
+
+Nicholas never wanted to be a ruler. Those who know him say that he has
+become grave and sad in the few months since he came to the throne.
+
+It is said that he is of too gentle a disposition to be able to keep his
+ministers in order, and that they quarrel fiercely in his presence, and
+show very little respect for him.
+
+According to all accounts, his health is giving way under the constant
+worry, and it is reported that he received a shock a few weeks ago, which
+so completely upset him, that it brought on his present illness.
+
+He was walking in his gardens, and wishing to speak to one of the men who
+was at work, he signalled to him to come to him. The gardener, proud of
+his sovereign's notice, ran towards him at full speed. But a sentry, who
+had not noticed the Czar's signal, fearing that the man was going to harm
+the Emperor, fired his gun at him, and he fell dead at the Czar's feet.
+
+Nicholas was terribly overcome by the dreadful mistake.
+
+Some people say that his present illness is due to anxiety about the
+Czarina, who is also ill, and again others say that the wound which
+Nicholas received when he was travelling in Japan is the cause.
+
+He was struck by a crazy Japanese, and would have been killed, had not
+Prince George of Greece, the son of the present King of Greece, who was
+with him, warded off the blow. As it was, the blow was heavy enough to
+form a lump on the young man's skull, which has caused him great pain, and
+which some people declare is troubling him now.
+
+Whatever the cause, the Czar is ill, and in no state to attend to anything
+but his own affairs. It is a sad pity just at this moment, when Europe
+needs him so badly.

+
+There is a little flurry in Siam.
+
+Siam is in Asia, just below China, and next door to Burmah.
+
+Some weeks ago a report came from Bangkok, the capital of Siam, that some
+Siamese soldiers had fired upon and wounded our American Vice-Consul, Mr.
+Kellett.
+
+Our minister there protested, and sent word of the outrage to the King.
+
+But the King of Siam did not take the slightest notice of the protest.
+
+Then word was sent to Washington, with the request that an American
+gunboat be sent to Bangkok, to teach the Siamese to respect United States
+citizens.
+
+The gunboat was despatched, and has duly arrived off Bangkok, but still
+the King of Siam does not give any reason for the brutality of his
+soldiers.
+
+It is said that an American named Cheek, who owned some very valuable
+property in Siam, died a short while ago, and named Mr. Kellett in his
+will as the man who was to settle his property for him.
+
+No sooner was Mr. Cheek dead, than the Siamese government tried to
+prevent Mr. Kellett from settling his affairs, and did their best to stop
+the sale of Mr. Cheek's property.
+
+It is reported that Mr. Kellett would not submit to this interference, but
+did his duty very thoroughly, and tried to make the Siamese government
+behave honorably, too.
+
+This enraged the Siamese, so the story goes, and they tried to kill Mr.
+Kellett to get him out of the way.
+
+The captain of the gunboat, Commander Reiter, has orders from Washington
+to look into the whole affair, and if he finds that the story we have
+heard is true, and that Siam is in the wrong, he is to insist that the
+King makes proper amends.
+
+The Siamese, having wounded the Consul of one country, soon after had
+trouble with the representative of another.
+
+The German Minister to Siam was attacked in the streets, not by soldiers,
+as was Mr. Kellett, but by a mob.
+
+The dispatches say that an American named Bennett put himself at the head
+of the police, beat back the mob, and saved the German Minister's life.
+
+The reasons for this last outrage have not been given, but in this case
+the Siamese government has behaved very well.
+
+An apology has been sent to the German Minister, and the King has
+decorated him with some Siamese order.
+
+Of course this makes us feel all the more surprised that the King does not
+take any notice of the wounding of Mr. Kellett, but our gunboat is at
+Bangkok, and if the King owes us an apology, he will be made to give it.

+
+The long-talked-of treaty between England and Venezuela has been signed.
+These countries agree to settle the question of the boundary between
+Venezuela and British Guiana by arbitration.
+
+In NO. 9 of THE GREAT ROUND WORLD you will find a full
+account of the quarrel between England and Venezuela. It was said that
+England claimed more land than belonged to her.
+
+You will see, if you look at NO. 9, how the United States stepped
+in, and helped to adjust matters.
+
+The signing of this treaty brings a quarrel to an end that has been going
+on for upwards of a century.
+
+The boundary line which has been so much disputed has been surveyed
+several times, but no two surveyors have agreed, and so all the troubles
+have come about.
+
+The treaty says that the arbitrators are to find out just how much land
+belonged to the colony of British Guiana at the time it became the
+property of England, and that they are to work from that point.
+
+The Committee of Arbitration is to meet in Paris, and is to consist of two
+Englishmen, Baron Herschel, and Sir Richard Henn Collins, a Judge of the
+English Supreme Court; one American, Judge Brewer; and one member chosen
+by Venezuela, who is also an American, the Hon. Melville Weston Fuller,
+Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
+
+These four arbitrators are to decide among themselves who shall be the
+fifth man to join them in their work.
+
+If they have not been able to agree on the fifth man in three months after
+they meet, our old friend, King Oscar of Sweden, is to step in and fill
+the vacant place.
+
+The treaty provides that within six months after it is signed the
+committee must meet in Paris, and that the whole work shall, if possible,
+be completed within six months after the meeting.
+
+The two copies of the treaty, as soon as they were signed by Sir Julian
+Pauncefote for England, and Senor José Andrade for Venezuela, were sent
+off, the one to London, the other to Caracas, to be ratified by the
+governments of England and Venezuela.
+
+The ratification must be made within six months of the date of signing,
+and then the work of the committee will begin.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+Very little headway has been made with our own treaty with England.
+
+The Committee on Foreign Relations has made certain changes in it, and
+handed it to the Senate with a recommendation that it be accepted.
+
+The changes made strike out the name of King Oscar of Sweden as umpire,
+and narrow the work of the arbitrators down to dealing solely with matters
+that concern Great Britain and the United States in their relations with
+each other.
+
+The idea is to make it impossible for England to interfere if we wish to
+make a treaty with another country.
+
+Some people think that if the treaty be ratified as first presented, we
+will be compelled to ask the advice and permission of England in reference
+to every treaty or similar arrangement we may want to make with other
+countries.
+
+It seems most important, among other things, that we should be free to
+make the best terms for ourselves in the matter of the Nicaragua Canal,
+and that we ought to be entirely free to settle all questions with our
+Central and South American neighbors.
+
+From what we hear, these alterations are not pleasing to the English
+people.
+
+_The Times_, the most important London newspaper, says that it is a pity
+that the treaty has been so much changed that it is really of no value at
+all. The paper goes on to say that if the treaty should not be ratified by
+the Senate, the good work done on it will not have been wasted, for it
+will have given a great lesson to the people of both countries, and indeed
+to the whole world. The first step has been taken toward the beginning of
+universal peace.
+
+Meanwhile, the treaty is in the hands of the Senate, and may soon be
+discussed.

+
+News comes from Hamburg that the strike of the dock laborers is over.
+
+The strikers have been beaten because of their lack of money.
+
+In NO. 7 of THE GREAT ROUND WORLD you will find an
+account of the strike, and if you will also refer to NO. 10, you
+will see that it was thought that the strikers could not hold out very
+much longer.
+
+The money the strikers expected to receive from other labor unions to help
+them was so slow in coming that the men and their families were in want,
+and no man is likely to stand out for the benefit of others when his own
+children are suffering from cold and hunger.
+
+The men have gone back to their old employers and asked for work. The pity
+of it all is, however, that during the strike others have been taken on in
+their places, and the employers have now no work to give them.
+
+After holding out since the end of October, and refusing the masters'
+offer to give them $1.10 a day, and let all future troubles be settled by
+arbitration, the strikers have had to give in without gaining a single
+point. It is very sad.
+

+
+The plague in India is still raging fiercely, and every one is feeling
+very grave about it.
+
+Europe is so afraid that it will spread, that the greatest care is being
+taken to quarantine all people who have come from India.
+
+All letters and merchandise are carefully fumigated, and they say that in
+Italy the authorities are so frightened that they fumigate the people, as
+well as their clothes and baggage.
+
+So serious is the situation, that the Sultan of Turkey has issued an order
+forbidding the yearly pilgrimage to Mecca.
+
+The European Ambassadors in Russia and Persia are begging the rulers of
+those countries to forbid pilgrims to pass through their lands, or to
+embark from their ports.
+
+You will understand what a very serious order this is, when you realize
+that the pilgrimage to Mecca is a part of the religion of every Moslem,
+and that about seventy thousand pilgrims go every year.
+
+In all religions, there is some special ceremony or service that people
+must attend if they wish to be considered children of God.
+
+With the Moslems or the followers of Mohammed, it is necessary that once
+in their lives they make the pilgrimage, or hadj as it is called, to
+Mecca.
+
+It does not matter how many thousand miles of sea or land must be crossed
+to reach Mecca; once in his life every Mohammedan must make the
+pilgrimage, if he wants to reach paradise when he dies.
+
+The Mohammedans believe that when they have made their pilgrimage, they
+are forgiven their sins, and can go back to the world as free from sin as
+when they were born. All Mohammedans who have made this pilgrimage are
+given the title of Hadji.
+
+There are about one hundred and seventy-six millions of Mohammedans who
+believe this, and who have been believing it, and making their
+pilgrimages, since and even before the year 620 A.D.
+
+These people are scattered through Asia, Europe, Africa, and Oceanica,
+which, as you know, is sometimes called the fifth division of the globe by
+geographers, and consists of Australasia and all the islands below Asia.
+The Philippine Islands, where Spain's second war is raging, are a part of
+Oceanica.
+
+If you will take your map, and see what an enormous portion of the globe
+is inhabited by Mohammedans, and then find Mecca, which is in Arabia,
+close to the Red Sea, you will understand that the making of this
+pilgrimage is no easy thing to many of the Moslems, and that it must have
+a most serious meaning to them to make them undertake such terrible
+journeys.
+
+These people must save a great deal of money, and have much difficulty in
+arranging their affairs, so that they can afford the time to make the
+journey, which their religion says must be made on foot wherever it is
+possible.
+
+Forbidding the pilgrimage for one year means the disappointing of seventy
+thousand people, and it is thought that the Moslems may rebel against the
+Sultan's decree.
+
+Even if they thought that the pilgrimage might spread the fearful plague,
+and kill the millions of people who do not believe in the prophet
+Mohammed, they would persist in going, thinking they would in that way be
+doing a great work for their religion.
+
+The Sultan has therefore this very difficult matter to deal with, and
+while Europe is wondering what to do with him, he is showing that after
+all he has a great deal of courage and common sense.
+
+The pilgrimage is made to Mecca to perform there certain religious rites,
+but particularly to visit the Great Mosque, or Temple, to pass around the
+Kaaba, and to kiss the sacred Black Stone.
+
+The Kaaba is the most sacred shrine or altar of the Mohammedans. It was in
+existence before Mohammed was born, in 570 A.D., and was a place of
+worship even then.
+
+In one corner of it is the sacred stone, which the Moslems believe was
+brought down from heaven by the angel Gabriel, and given by him to Abraham
+to make the corner-stone of the Kaaba.
+
+They believe that the stone was originally a ruby, but that the tears
+which the pilgrims have shed over it for their sins have turned it quite
+black.
+
+The sacred black stone was broken in the year 683, and the pieces are
+kept together by a silver setting. The stone itself is about eight inches
+long, and is set into the outside wall of the Kaaba, where it can be
+conveniently kissed by a person of medium height.
+
+Mohammedans always turn toward a certain point of the compass when they
+say their prayers, and it is toward the sacred black stone that they turn.
+
+The gathering together of the pilgrims at Mecca has often brought plague,
+and nearly always brings disease in its train, and there is very little
+doubt but that the Bubonic Plague, which is raging in India, would be
+caught by the pilgrims, and spread by them over the whole of Asia and
+Europe.
+
+This plague is supposed to attack only the dirty and unwashed, and as the
+majority of these pilgrims are filthy beyond description, it would be
+certain to fasten upon them.
+
+This will be the first year, since the death of the prophet Mohammed, that
+there has been no general pilgrimage to Mecca.
+
+We may hear a great deal more about it yet.

+
+At last active measures are about being taken in reference to the terrible
+Dead Man's Curve.
+
+Some weeks ago, it was said that it was to be done away with, and the cars
+run through a tunnel made under Union Square.
+
+Nothing, however, has so far been done, and the people are getting tired
+of risking their lives, to oblige a cable car company.
+
+At last the officers of the law have interfered, and the owners of the
+road are being prosecuted, for having their cars run in such a manner
+that it is a danger to citizens.
+
+The president of the company was called before the Grand Jury, and said
+that it was impossible to run the cars around that curve in any other way
+than that which is in use at the present time.
+
+Several engineers who understood all about cable cars were then called.
+They said that if the company would put a short cable on the stretch of
+road around the curve, there need be no more danger. They said that a
+gripman could stop his car or slow up on a short cable, but that with the
+long cable, such as the company is now using, it is impossible for the
+gripman to have any control of his car while rounding the curve.
+
+The president of the company declared that a short cable would not work.
+The case is to go to trial. While the worst that can be done to the
+company is to be fined $500, people are looking forward to the trial,
+because they expect that the witnesses who give evidence will show some
+way of getting the car round the curve without shaking everybody who is in
+it, and killing or wounding all who cannot jump out of its way.

+
+Did you ever see a house move?
+
+If you have not, you have missed a very funny sight.
+
+Imagine driving along a country road, and meeting a three-story house
+making a journey along the highway to new quarters.
+
+There is a good deal of this to be seen just now at Katonah, New York.
+
+A year or so ago the Croton water, which is in use in New York City, was
+found to be impure.
+
+A commission was appointed to go and examine the Croton Water-Shed. This
+meant that they were to examine the little streams, and brooks, and
+rivers, and lakes, which supplied the water to our aqueduct, and see what
+the trouble was.
+
+They found that along the banks of these streams and lakes, in villages
+and out in the country, a great many dwelling-houses and shanties had been
+built, the occupants of which were in the habit of throwing all sorts of
+rubbish into the water, making it unfit for drinking.
+
+In consequence of this, all of the houses were ordered to be torn down or
+moved away, and one small village of shanties was destroyed. Among others,
+the inhabitants of Katonah were ordered to move, that the banks of the
+stream might be cleared of dwellings.
+
+Katonah has a railroad depot, and a post-office, and thinks a good deal of
+itself.
+
+When the Water-Shed Commission said that it must move or be destroyed,
+Katonah gathered its residents together, and decided that rather than be
+wiped off the face of the map, it would pick up its houses and move
+itself.
+
+So a new Katonah was established, about a quarter of a mile away from the
+old one, and just outside the Water-Shed on which it was forbidden to
+build, for fear of spoiling the water for New York.
+
+For several months past there has been a procession of houses moving from
+old Katonah to new.
+
+[Illustration: HOUSE MOVING]
+
+_The Sun_ gave an amusing account of seeing a barber's shop leading the
+parade; this was closely followed by a large yellow cottage, with a cat,
+who had refused to leave her home, still seated on the front door-step.
+
+The way that houses are moved is very simple.
+
+You of course understand that only frame or wooden houses can be moved any
+distance. Houses of stone or brick would be likely to fall to pieces, and
+being so heavy, the difficulty of moving them is greatly increased. They
+are therefore seldom moved, and only for very short distances.
+
+Frame houses are always put on stone or brick foundations. If the wood
+were put right down on the earth, the damp would soon rot it, and the
+house would fall, so strong stone or brick foundations are first laid, and
+then the wooden house is built upon them.
+
+When a house is to be moved, a carpenter puts beams across in all the weak
+spots, the ceilings are shored up, and all is made snug inside. Then the
+house is raised off the foundations on beams, and made all firm
+underneath, and then is made to slide off its foundations on some huge
+rollers that are laid in the high road.
+
+Ropes are then fastened to some of the heavy beams under the house, and
+horses are brought. The ropes are tied to the horses, and as they pull,
+the house slips from one roller to another.
+
+Houses can be moved very safely, but not very quickly, and it is of course
+much less expensive to move an old house than to build a new one.
+
+One of the strangest things about the moving at Katonah, is that the
+villagers are trying to take their shade trees with them, as well as their
+houses.
+
+One of the residents had some very fine trees in his garden, and he hated
+to leave them behind him, so he decided to try and see if they could not
+be moved.
+
+The neighbors made the greatest fun of him, but he did not care, and set
+to work as soon as the ground was frozen hard enough, to allow of the tree
+being moved without disturbing the earth around the roots.
+
+The procession of houses is now varied by a great tree, forty feet high,
+which is moving down the road in the same quiet, stately way as the cat,
+and the barber's shop, and the yellow cottage.

+
+
+INVENTION AND DISCOVERY.
+
+
+A great sea monster has been washed ashore on the coast of Florida, and
+men who study natural history are much interested in it. What is left of
+the creature is said to weigh eight tons, and no one can tell exactly what
+kind of a fish it is, because it appears to have been tossed by the waves
+for a long time, and has been partly destroyed by them.
+
+Those people who have seen it think that it is a kind of cuttlefish, but
+that the arms, or tentacles, as they are called, have been broken away
+from it. These arms must have been from one to two hundred feet long. It
+is now only a huge body without much shape to it. Photographs and careful
+descriptions of it have been sent to the Smithsonian Institution in
+Washington and to Yale College, and the scientific men there expect to be
+able to decide what it is by comparing it with other known kinds of
+mollusks. Scientists study these things so carefully, that they can tell
+what the exact size of an animal was, and what it looked like, if but a
+small portion is left; we may therefore expect to hear all about this
+great creature ere long.
+
+The size of this wonderful creature can be better realized, when we learn
+that it took four strong horses, a dozen men, and three sets of tackle to
+move it.
+
+At first it seemed impossible to believe that such a terrific monster
+really existed. Sailors have told so many yarns for the sake of making a
+good story, that people are a little afraid to believe the wonderful tales
+of the sea, but THE GREAT ROUND WORLD took pains to find out
+that this eight-ton cuttlefish story was true, so we need have no doubts
+about it.
+
+The cuttlefish, which supplies the bone we buy for our canaries, is a very
+terrible fish indeed.
+
+The bone, as we call it, is not really bone, but a sort of half-formed
+shell which the cuttlefish wears under its skin.
+
+It has a large round body, surrounded by eight arms, which are many times
+the length of the body, and which it can twist or turn in any direction.
+The mouth is in the centre of these arms. Professor Winchell describes
+this ugly creature for us. He says:
+
+"Staring out from either side of the head (the head and body are really
+one) is a pair of large, glassy eyes, which send a shudder over the
+beholder. At the bottom of the sea the creature turns its eight arms down,
+and walks like a huge submarine spider, thrusting its arms into the
+crevices of the rocks, and extracting thence the luckless crab that had
+thought itself secure from so bulky a foe. Each of the arms is covered
+with what are called suckers. Each sucker consists of a little round horny
+ridge, forming a little cup, which is attached to the arm by a stem. When
+the arm is pressed upon an object, the effort to escape from the grasp of
+the arm causes a suction which effectually retains the object."
+
+Professor Winchell goes on to tell that these cuttlefish or octopods
+sometimes attain a very great size, and that sailors tell wonderful
+stories about them. In one of these stories, the captain of a ship
+declared that, while sailing off the African coast, he sent three of his
+men over the side of the ship to scrape it. While they were at their work
+one of these monsters reached its long arms up from the water and drew two
+of them into the sea.
+
+Professor Winchell says that while this may be only a sailor's yarn, it is
+at the same time well known that these creatures do attain a fearful size.
+
+The recent discovery of the cuttlefish in Florida may lead to some
+extremely interesting discoveries.
+
+
+HORSELESS FIRE-ENGINE.
+
+A monster steam fire-engine is being built for the city of Boston, and it
+is to be a horseless engine.
+
+For some time past the Fire Department has been seeking for some engine
+powerful enough to throw water to the top of the very high buildings--the
+skyscrapers, as they are called.
+
+An ordinary engine is of very little use for these tall buildings. And an
+engine large and powerful enough to throw the water to the necessary
+height would be so heavy that no horses could draw it.
+
+The difficulty has been met by the invention of this horseless engine,
+which will throw a two-inch stream of water over 300 feet into the air.
+
+The engine is propelled much in the same way as a steam engine. The driver
+sits on a seat in front of the engine, and steers it by means of a wheel,
+and the engine is moved by steam.
+
+When it arrives at the fire, the driving arrangement is disconnected, and
+all the energy of the steam is turned into the apparatus for forcing up
+the water.
+
+The engine is sixteen feet long, seven feet wide, and ten feet high. How
+terrified the horses in the roads will be when this huge monster comes
+rushing toward them, spouting fire, and appearing to move of its own free
+will.
+
+
+LIEUTENANT WISE AND HIS KITE.
+
+We gave an account, in an earlier number, of Lieutenant Wise and his
+efforts to make kites strong enough to lift soldiers into the air, that
+they may overlook an enemy's fortifications.
+
+He has almost succeeded. The other day he made a fresh attempt, and had
+himself raised forty-two feet in the air.
+
+He sent up four kites, with a pulley and rope attached. To this rope a
+boatswain's chair was fastened, and when the wind was blowing steadily
+enough for him to make the attempt, he seated himself in the chair, and
+had the soldiers who were helping him draw him up toward the kites.
+
+They succeeded in pulling him up forty-two feet, and when he was lowered
+again he said that he did not feel uncomfortable while in his lofty perch,
+and that the swinging motion was very slight.
+
+The experiment was made on Governor's Island, New York Harbor.

+    Publisher _Great Round World_.
+
+    DEAR MR. HARISON:
+
+    The conception of _The Great Round World_ magazine appeals to me
+    very strongly. It meets what has always been lacking in the
+    field of reading for the young; current history is of the
+    highest importance to the child, and should be clearly and
+    honestly told. In their book reading, the children have the
+    established facts of history presented in accurate and approved
+    form. The events of to-day, however, which will make possible
+    the chapters of history in the books of another decade, have
+    never been accurately presented in equally agreeable form until
+    the advent of the new magazine. It seems to me, therefore, that
+    it deserves and will have a vigorous growth. I congratulate you
+    on the form of the new magazine, and the careful summary of the
+    news of the world thus far given.
+
+    Yours sincerely,
+           CHARLES S. DIEHL.

+SIMPLE LESSONS IN THE
+
+STUDY OF NATURE
+
+By I.G. OAKLEY
+
+
+This is a handy little book, which many a teacher who is looking for means
+to offer children genuine nature study may be thankful to get hold of.
+
+Nature lessons, to be entitled to that name, must deal with what can be
+handled and scrutinized at leisure by the child, pulled apart, and even
+wasted. This can be done with the objects discussed in this book; they are
+under the feet of childhood--grass, feathers, a fallen leaf, a budding
+twig, or twisted shell; these things cannot be far out of the way, even
+within the stony limits of a city.
+
+Nor are the lessons haphazard dashes at the nearest living thing; on the
+contrary, they are virtually fundamental, whether with respect to their
+relation to some of the classified sciences, or with reference to the
+development of thought and power of expression in the child himself.
+
+The illustrations are few, and scarcely more than figures; it is not meant
+to be a pretty picture-book, yet is most clearly and beautifully printed
+and arranged, for its material is to be that out of which pictures are
+made. It will be found full of suggestions of practical value to teachers
+who are carrying the miscellaneous work of ungraded schools, and who have
+the unspeakable privilege of dealing with their pupils untrammelled by
+cast-iron methods and account-keeping examination records.

+_From New York Sun Editorial Dec._ 30, 1896.
+
+In too many of the little school histories there is but a tedious, bare
+narrative of apparently unconnected facts, and there is a profitless
+rigmarole of dates and names: but when the sequence of cause and effect is
+not obscured, and form and life are given to the actors, and the
+development of events and institutions is traced, the story of the United
+States becomes, as it should become, the most, fascinating as it is the
+most important of histories to Americans; and whatever in historical
+inquiry and writing promotes accuracy, adds detail, and clears up
+obscurity, increases the worth and the, charm of the work.
+
+W.B. Harison has published in his "Evolution of Empire" series, a brief
+historical sketch of the United States, by Mary Platt Parmele, whose other
+volumes in the series have received cordial praise. In this book one finds
+the story of our country told in about 300 pages, and very interestingly
+is it written. The book leaves out the innumerable incidents and figures
+which are of great importance to students, but which are not necessary in
+a book for general reading, and presents the narrative in a graphic
+manner, in which the interest of the reader never flags. The book is bound
+in blue buckram and costs but 75 cents. The other volumes in the series
+deal with the histories of France, England, and Germany, in the same
+brilliant vein.--_Hartford Post._
+
+Its value does not lie in the multitude of facts which it contains, but
+rather in the lucid, natural way in which a few really important facts are
+presented and grouped, and in the stimulus which it imparts to a rational
+study of our country's history.--_The Review of Reviews._
+
+In "The Evolution of an Empire," Mary Platt Parmele has endeavored to give
+in outline the story of the discovery, settlement, and development of the
+United States of America, touching only upon vital points and excluding
+all detail. The task has been a most difficult one on account of the
+constant temptation to deal with matters of minor importance. The author
+has, however, succeeded in making a very acceptable book.--_Boston
+Transcript._
+
+The latest issue in the "Evolution of an Empire" series is Mary Platt
+Parmele's "History of the United States." It is a short and simple
+outline, which presents in a book of about 300 pages the main facts of our
+national history, and a very fair and judicial presentment it is, too.
+While the general reader will find it of interest, it has been prepared
+more particularly for the young, who are easily wearied by the prolix
+details which encumber so many of the histories prepared for them. Mrs.
+Parmele very truly remarks that the child, bewildered in a labyrinth of
+unfamiliar names and events, fails to grasp the main lines and soon
+dislikes history, simply because he has been studying, not with a thinking
+mind, but with one overtaxed faculty, memory, intended to be the humble
+handmaid of the higher faculties. In the work under consideration, she
+begins with the first voyage of Columbus and brings us down to the
+principal events of 1893; she is sparing of details, and has merely
+skeletonized her theme, adding sufficient of incident, to avoid dryness.
+It seems a meritorious and well-prepared work, and a chronological table
+adds to its value.--_The Detroit Free Press._

+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
