+
+The settlement of the terms of peace between Turkey and Greece promises to
+be a very long and tedious matter.
+
+It has been announced that Turkey offers to conclude peace, provided
+Greece pays her $15,000,000 to cover her war expenses, gives her certain
+strategic points in Thessaly, and turns over to her the Greek fleet until
+the war expenses are paid.
+
+The Sultan has begun the negotiations by asking for everything he could
+think of, but this was just what people expected he would do.
+
+England regards Turkey's demands as unfair, and will oppose them. She
+thinks that Greece should merely be made to withdraw her troops from
+Crete, and give Turkey a reasonable sum of money as war indemnity.
+
+It is a pity that England did not show some of this sympathy sooner,
+instead of standing idly by until Turkey had brought Greece to her present
+piteous plight.
+
+That Greece should have been so easily beaten is still a cause of
+wonderment.
+
+If all accounts are true, the Crown Prince Constantine deserves a good
+deal of the blame of the disaster. He was not experienced enough to take
+command of an army in an important campaign, and should not have
+undertaken so difficult a task unless he was sure of himself.
+
+It is said by all the newspaper correspondents who were with the Greek
+army, that the shameful flight from Larissa was the cause of the series of
+defeats that followed it. These men declare that after Larissa the Greeks
+lost confidence in their commanders, and had no hope of success.
+
+It is claimed that if the Greeks had pushed forward instead of retreating,
+the Turks must have been beaten.
+
+Up to the evening of April 23d, when the retreat occurred, the Turks were
+in a desperate condition. Edhem Pasha, the general in command of the
+Turkish army, had decided that it was impossible to break through the
+Greek lines, and had ordered a retreat to Elassona. That very night he
+telegraphed the hopelessness of his situation to Constantinople, and a
+special messenger left for Athens, bearing a message from the Sultan,
+asking for peace.
+
+The retreat on Larissa changed the whole fate of the war.
+
+There are many rumors why this retreat was ordered, but no one seems to
+understand the matter clearly.
+
+One report says that the Turks were actually falling back on Elassona, and
+one of the Greek generals, seeing the movement, mistook it for an attempt
+to surround the Greeks and cut their army to pieces. He is said to have
+galloped to the Crown Prince with this mis-information, and assured him
+that unless he ordered a retreat they would all be sacrificed. The Crown
+Prince did not attempt to assure himself of the accuracy of this
+statement, but at once issued the fatal order.
+
+If this account be true, the two armies must have been fleeing from each
+other at the same moment.
+
+Edhem Pasha, being a good general, soon discovered what had happened. He
+at once saw his opportunity and took advantage of it.
+
+The Greeks, unfortunately, had no general who knew thoroughly the art of
+war, and so their mistake was not understood.
+
+In reviewing the short Greek campaign, some interesting comparisons have
+been made between the war in Greece and the war in Cuba. The conclusion
+arrived at has been that good leaders are the essential for successful
+warfare, and that without them the bravest soldiers are of little use.
+
+The army sent by Spain against Cuba was about as large as that sent by
+Turkey against Greece, but there were only one-fifth as many Cubans to
+fight the Spanish army as there were Greeks to fight the Turks. The
+Cubans, moreover, were badly armed, knew little of the trade of
+soldiering, and were merely a band of sturdy patriots, fighting with a
+determination to conquer or die, while the Greeks were finely equipped
+soldiers.
+
+One would have supposed that the Greeks would have given the Turks some
+hard fighting, and have been able to make their own terms in the end, and
+that the Cubans would have been subdued in very short order.
+
+[Illustration: ATHENS: KING'S PALACE FROM THE GARDENS.]
+
+How different the results have been.
+
+Greece with her splendid army had no leaders worthy of the name, and has
+been whipped and shamed in two short weeks of war.
+
+Cuba, in spite of her motley, ill-armed bands of soldiers, is happy in the
+possession of some great leaders. Cuba had her Maceo, and has yet her
+Gomez and her Garcia.
+
+What have these generals done for her?
+
+For more than two years they have carried on the unequal war. Clever
+enough to avoid meeting the Spaniards in any pitched battles, that, if
+lost, would ruin their cause, they have succeeded in harassing their foe,
+wasting Spain's money, wearing out her patience, and keeping her at bay
+until time has made better soldiers of them, drawn more friends to their
+cause, and rendered the conditions more equal.
+
+The success of the Cubans can be looked forward to with confidence,
+because they are well generaled. The failure of the Greeks was expected
+with equal certainty, when it became evident that the Hellenic army had no
+leaders.
+
+Poor little Greece!
+
+There is still some fighting going on.
+
+The Turks are pressing on, and will continue to do so until the
+negotiations for peace are actually begun. Every Greek town they can
+capture, every mile they can advance into Greek territory before peace is
+formally asked for, gives the Turk the right of demanding better terms
+when the final arrangements are made.
+
+In Thessaly the Sultan's army has occupied Volo and Pharsala, and there is
+no doubt that it will soon gain possession of Domokho.
+
+In Epirus the Turks routed the Greeks when they attempted to advance after
+the retreat to Arta.
+
+The army is said to be completely discouraged by the frequent defeats, and
+sorrow and discontent reign throughout Greece.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The Greeks are a very excitable people, and it was only natural to suppose
+that when the fortunes of war turned against them, they would seek to
+throw the blame for their defeat on their rulers.
+
+Every trouble that has befallen Greece has been laid at the door of King
+George and his sons.
+
+There have been wild rumors of making the King give up his throne, and it
+was reported that a Russian vessel was moored off the Pirĉus to rescue the
+Royal Family in case of need.
+
+These stories have not been verified, and probably have little truth in
+them. When Greece calms down a little she will learn that her King has
+been doing the best he could for his country and his people, and their old
+kindly feelings for him will return.
+
+The Royal Family have kept themselves quietly in their palace during the
+worries, the Queen and Princesses working unceasingly for the relief of
+the sick and wounded.

+
+Important news has reached us from Cuba.
+
+Gomez is in Havana Province, and it is said that the Spaniards were
+defeated in a battle at Guines, thirty miles from Havana.
+
+The city of Havana is once more in a state of excitement. As usual, the
+authorities deny that there are any insurgents in Havana Province, and as
+usual the people do not believe a word of their proclamations, and are
+terrified lest the city be bombarded by Gomez.
+
+The first news of the nearness of the insurgents was brought by a few
+Spaniards who formed part of a garrison at Bermeja, a small town on the
+borders of Havana Province.
+
+These men straggled into the city with the information that the Cubans had
+seized the town and their little fort. They had all been captured, and had
+been brought before the general in command, who proved to be Gomez
+himself. All but ten of the prisoners were Cubans who had enlisted in the
+Spanish service.
+
+General Gomez freed the Spaniards, but ordered the Cubans to be hanged on
+the spot, as traitors to their country.
+
+The Spaniards reported that Gomez had a force of 2,000 men with him, and
+that General Carillo was following him with another party of 3,000 more.
+In Havana it is expected that an attempt to capture the city will be made
+within a few days.
+
+It is said that the Cubans have been concentrating their forces in and
+around Havana Province for some time past, and that the troops who served
+under General Rivera, some 7,000 men in all, are waiting in Pinar del Rio
+until Gomez gives them the signal to join him.
+
+Pinar del Rio is at the west of Havana Province. In Matanzas, at the east
+of Havana, more insurgents are said to be gathered. It looks as if the
+Cubans were really closing in on Havana for a definite purpose.
+
+Spain is trying to raise a new loan to meet the cost of the wars in Cuba
+and the Philippine Islands.
+
+There is a report that the health of General Rivera is failing. It is said
+that, for want of proper care, his wounds are not healing, and that he is
+suffering a great deal from them.
+
+Senator Morgan's bill for recognizing the belligerency of Cuba has been
+debated in the Senate.
+
+No progress has been made with it, however.
+
+Some of the Senators spoke very warmly in its favor, and reminded the
+Senate of the time when we, too, were struggling for our liberty, and
+needed and obtained the support of other countries.
+
+Other Senators tried to get rid of the bill by sending it to the Committee
+on Foreign Relations, which would mean a long delay before it could be
+brought to a vote.
+
+The chances are that nothing definite will be done for the present, and
+that the Cubans will not receive any help from the United States.
+
+The Navy Department has refused to send any more vessels to patrol the
+seas for filibusters.
+
+There are now three ships detailed for that duty, and more have been asked
+for.
+
+Mr. Long, the Secretary of the Navy, says that he thinks three are plenty,
+that the rainy season is at hand, and very little fighting will be done in
+Cuba after it once sets in.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The death of the Duke d'Aumale has just been announced.
+
+This gentleman was a personage of very great interest to Europeans.
+
+He was the fourth son of Louis Philippe--the King of France who was
+deposed in 1848. The Duke d'Aumale was trained to be a soldier. He loved
+his profession, and made great progress in it, winning honors for himself
+when but a lad of nineteen.
+
+The French people idolized him, and declared that he would some day be to
+France what Wellington was to England.
+
+His father was then King, and the Duke induced the King to send him on
+active service, and for six years he was in various campaigns, always
+distinguishing himself for his bravery and soldierly qualities.
+
+At the end of this time there was a revolution in France. The King was
+deposed, a second republic declared, and the whole Orleans family exiled.
+
+The King and the princes went to England, and purchased some fine property
+near London, at a place called Twickenham. Here the Duke lived, devoting
+himself to literature and study.
+
+The ungrateful French Government, forgetting the services he had done for
+his country, not content with banishing him with the rest of his family,
+took from him a famous estate called Chantilly, which had belonged to his
+ancestors for centuries.
+
+Despite this treatment the Duke's love for his country never changed.
+
+When the Franco-German war broke out in 1870 he instantly offered his
+services to France.
+
+Napoleon III., the same Napoleon who sent Maximilian to Mexico, was then
+Emperor of France.
+
+He declined the help of the Duke d'Aumale, fearing to allow any of the
+princes of the royal blood to serve in the army, lest they might endeavor
+to influence the soldiers to bring about a new revolution.
+
+After the battle of Sedan, when Napoleon was taken prisoner, and France
+once more became a republic, the Duke returned to France and took an
+active part in the affairs of State, and Chantilly and the greater portion
+of his lands were restored to him.
+
+The other Orleans princes also returned to France, and remained there
+until 1883, when the Minister of War, following the policy of Napoleon
+III., declared it undesirable to have the princes serving in the army.
+
+The Duke's name was struck off the army-roll by that General Boulanger who
+made such a stir in France at that time. All the commissions held by the
+Orleans princes were cancelled, and the whole family once more banished
+from France.
+
+A few weeks after the Duke had left France, the French people were
+somewhat ashamed to learn that this man, whom they had twice hounded out
+of the country, had returned good for evil, and made a present to the
+nation, or rather to the Institute of France, of his beautiful chateau of
+Chantilly.
+
+The Institute laid the matter before the Government, and asked that the
+decree of exile be revoked.
+
+After some time this was done, and the Duke returned to France to live in
+Chantilly, which, by the terms of his gift, he was at liberty to use
+during his lifetime.
+
+The Duke was seventy years of age. His death was caused by the news that
+the Duchess d'Alençon, a favorite niece of his, had been burnt to death in
+a dreadful fire which has just occurred in Paris.
+
+Some charitable ladies organized a bazaar for the benefit of sick women
+and children.
+
+The great ladies of France were interested in it, and its opening was one
+of the fashionable events in Paris.
+
+One afternoon during the progress of the bazaar, when the place was full
+of visitors, and many of the greatest ladies in French society were in the
+building, buying and selling, a cry of fire was raised, and it was found
+that one of the stalls was in flames.
+
+Unhappily, there was but one exit to the building, and the fire spread so
+rapidly that it was impossible for all to escape. A number of the ladies
+were burned to death.
+
+All Paris, indeed all Europe, is in mourning because of the disaster, for
+there is hardly a noble family in Europe which was not represented at the
+bazaar.
+
+The Duchess d'Alençon, one of the unfortunate ladies who perished in the
+flames, was not only the niece of the Duke d'Aumale, but the sister of the
+Empress of Austria.
+
+This same duchess came near being a queen herself, for at one time she was
+betrothed to the King of Bavaria, the same King who first understood and
+appreciated Richard Wagner, the famous composer, and encouraged him to
+write the wonderful works which have changed the whole history of music.

+
+Li Hung Chang has not forgotten us, though he is far away in his own
+country.
+
+His regard for General Grant was well known, and when he came to this
+country he expressed a wish to visit the tomb of his dead friend.
+
+While paying this visit he said that he would like to show his regard for
+the great man in some permanent way.
+
+It was suggested that he should plant a tree on the site of the old tomb,
+and he seemed greatly pleased with the idea, but nothing further was said
+on the subject at the time.
+
+The other day Mr. Yang Yu received a letter from the Viceroy, asking him
+to plant the tree before he left the country.
+
+Mr. Yang Yu is the Chinese Minister who has just been recalled from
+Washington, and sent on an important mission to St. Petersburg.
+
+When the Minister received the order from the Viceroy, he sent word to the
+Park Commissioners asking them if the matter could be arranged.
+
+It was not possible for Li Hung to send a tree from China, but he wrote
+Yang Yu that he would like him to select a tree that was a native of
+China.
+
+A tree was obtained which is a native of Japan and China. It is called the
+Maidenhair tree, because its leaves resemble those of the Maidenhair fern.
+
+Its botanical name is _Gingko Biloba_.
+
+The tree was partly planted by the gardeners, and then the Chinese
+Minister, accompanied by some members of the Grant family, proceeded to
+the spot to perform the ceremony in the name of Li Hung Chang.
+
+The Minister threw a few shovelfuls of earth on the roots of the tree, and
+then read some words in Chinese from a scroll he carried.
+
+The words were translated by the Secretary, and proved to be:
+
+"This tree is planted at the side of the tomb of General U.S. Grant,
+ex-President of the United States of America, for the purpose of
+commemorating him, by Li Hung Chang, guardian of the Prince, Grand
+Secretary of the State, and Earl of the first order.
+
+                                "YANG YU,
+            "Vice-President of the Centre Board.
+    "Kwang Hsu, 23d year, fourth moon, seventh day."
+
+This inscription is to be cut in marble, in Chinese and also in English,
+and placed near the tomb.
+
+The Mr. Yang Yu who performed the ceremony is the Minister whom the See
+Yups came on from San Francisco to visit.
+
+It does not seem as if he were going to be of much use to them, for
+instead of returning to China he is to go to St. Petersburg, and he may
+not see his Emperor for a very long time.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+An amusing story comes from Victoria, British Columbia, about the Chinese
+special envoy, who has just arrived in New York on his way to London.
+
+When the Canadian Pacific steamer which brought him over from China
+arrived in port, it was found that she had two cases of smallpox on board.
+
+The authorities of Victoria at once ordered her to quarantine for
+twenty-four days.
+
+The steerage passengers, who were all Chinamen, were taken to the
+quarantine station, where the usual process of fumigation and disinfection
+took place.
+
+There were, doubtless, many protests and wails from the unfortunate
+Celestials, but nobody heeded them, and the work was carried through
+without difficulty.
+
+When, however, it came to the other passengers, there was a great
+disturbance. The English were furious, threatening terrible things if any
+one attempted to fumigate them. A special company of 200 armed men was
+consequently detailed to guard the quarantine station, lest the passengers
+should attempt to get away before the twenty-four days were over.
+
+All this trouble was as nothing, however, to that which arose when it was
+conveyed to His Excellency Chang, Special Envoy from the Emperor of China
+to Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, that he needed disinfecting!
+
+Accompanying the Envoy was his suite, which was composed of a number of
+Chinamen of high rank. None of these illustrious persons had the slightest
+knowledge of Western ways, and they one and all protested that to fumigate
+them, or their great Chang, was practically fumigating the Emperor of
+China! In their eyes this seemed the most awful crime that mortal could
+commit.
+
+His Excellency Chang refused to submit to any such insulting treatment,
+and appealed to the Canadian Government, the British Government, and the
+Chinese Ministers in London to protect him.
+
+He declared that, rather than submit, he would go back to China without
+fulfilling his mission,--a proceeding fraught with considerable danger to
+himself, as he stated that the Emperor, his master, might cut off his
+head, and the heads of all his suite, for disobedience to his wishes. But
+the noble Envoy preferred death to fumigation.
+
+What he imagined fumigation was it is impossible to say, but he warned the
+authorities that if they attempted it, the Emperor of China would declare
+war on England.
+
+The unfortunate officials did not know what to do, and waited in a great
+state of anxiety for orders from the Government.
+
+The story does not say how the matter was arranged, but as His Excellency
+is now in New York, and war has not been declared by China, it is to be
+supposed that he was not fumigated.
+

+
+The Japanese are a very progressive people.
+
+A generation ago the inhabitants of Japan were not allowed to leave their
+country, nor were foreigners permitted to enter it.
+
+Since the war with China Japan has taken a wonderful start; her commerce
+and manufactures have greatly increased, and her people have begun to seek
+a better market for their labors, and emigrate to foreign countries.
+
+Japan is a densely populated land, and the inhabitants have not been slow
+to see that an overcrowded country, where thousands of people are
+constantly unemployed, is not a good place to make money in.
+
+Since the Japanese have been permitted to seek their fortunes in other
+lands, they have emigrated in vast numbers.
+
+They are now to be found all over the world.
+
+We have spoken about them in Hawaii, but the Sandwich Islanders are not
+the only people to protest against them as colonists.
+
+In British Columbia they have arrived in such hordes that the Government
+has been considering laws to keep them out in future.
+
+In California there is a strong opposition to them. They are not desired
+in Australia, nor in the English colonies in the Pacific Ocean.
+
+With all these countries making laws against them, and Hawaii sending them
+back from her shores, it would seem that the thrifty Japanese would have
+to stay in their own country. However, a haven has just been offered to
+them in Mexico.
+
+A Japanese syndicate has secured 300,000 acres in the Mexican State of
+Chiapas, on which a Japanese colony is to be established. The land is to
+be divided into lots of 20 acres, one lot to be assigned to each family.
+
+The immigrants are to raise coffee, cotton, tobacco, and sugar, and to
+introduce certain Japanese industries.
+
+The first party of colonists are now on their way to Mexico, and it is
+thought that thousands will follow them.
+
+The Mexicans are said to be quite pleased with the prospect of the
+Japanese settling among them. They need a great many laborers; these they
+find it very difficult to obtain, and they expect the new immigrants to be
+a great help to them.
+
+It will be interesting to watch how the amiable, active Japanese get along
+with the fiery, indolent Mexicans.

+
+Hawaii is disturbed over the news that the Japanese cruiser _Naniwa_ is on
+its way to Honolulu.
+
+She brings with her a special Japanese Commissioner, who will investigate
+the immigration matters, and claim from the Government of the Sandwich
+Islands the sum of $100,000 damages for preventing her citizens from
+landing.
+
+It is reported that the _Naniwa_ has on board three of the emigrants who
+were refused admission, and that she will try and land them, for the
+purpose of making the Hawaiian Government prove in the courts its right to
+forbid their entry.
+
+The Japanese insist that Hawaii has violated the treaty existing between
+Japan and the Sandwich Islands. The Honolulu lawyers have been studying
+the treaty, and insist that the immigrants had no legal right to land, and
+that the treaty has not been violated.
+
+In the mean while, the Government of Hawaii is doing all in its power to
+get white laborers employed instead of Japanese on all the sugar and
+coffee plantations. And as it is feared that the United States will not
+care to annex the islands if all the labor is done by Asiatics and there
+is no room for white men, it is trying to get Americans to go over with
+their families, and is promising them steady and paying employment.
+
+An Immigration Bureau has been opened, and every effort will be made to
+get first-class American laborers to go there.

+
+The revolution in Honduras has been suppressed.
+
+We mentioned this trouble in No. 26 of THE GREAT ROUND WORLD, and said
+that her sister republics had declined to interfere.
+
+Matters became so threatening, and the revolution took on such a serious
+aspect, that Nicaragua finally decided to help; but she did not move
+until Dr. de Soto had been proclaimed President by the rebel party, and
+had gained possession of the town of Puerto Cortez.
+
+Finding that the revolution promised to be something more than the usual
+South American affair, Great Britain and the United States both ordered
+cruisers to Puerto Cortez to protect the interests of their citizens.
+
+Nicaragua at the same time armed a steam-tug, and, loading her with
+soldiers, sent her to the little town to recapture it from the insurgents.
+
+This was evidently accomplished, and appears to have ended the revolution.
+A telegram has been received in Washington from our American Consul in
+Honduras, stating that the revolution is at an end.
+
+There is, however, a very indignant feeling against Nicaragua, in
+consequence of a story which has been brought in by the steamer _Rover_.
+
+Captain Reed, of the _Rover_, which is a fruit steamer, declares that when
+about four miles out of Puerto Cortez, his vessel, though flying the
+American flag, was fired upon by the Nicaraguan gunboat _Lucy B._
+
+The story as told by him is that he reached Puerto Cortez on May 6th, and
+knowing the port to be in the hands of the insurgents, he decided not to
+anchor, but to cruise about until the customs officers should board him,
+and tell him whether it would be safe to land.
+
+He could see that the town was in a state of ferment, and that the
+inhabitants were running about from place to place.
+
+After waiting a little while he thought it unsafe to land, and determined
+to go to the town of Omoa, where he knew the government forces were in
+possession.
+
+He had travelled about four miles from Puerto Cortez when he sighted the
+_Lucy B._
+
+He decided to wait for her, and find out from her how matters stood in
+Puerto Cortez.
+
+Suddenly, when about half a mile away, the _Lucy B._ fired on the _Rover_.
+
+Captain Reed instantly ordered the engines to be stopped, and brought the
+vessel to a standstill; but before the sailors had time to carry out his
+orders, another shot was fired at him.
+
+Soon after the vessel was boarded by General Reyes, of the Nicaraguan
+government, and six of his followers.
+
+He examined the ship's papers, and though finding them in order, still had
+the ship searched from end to end, declaring that the _Rover_ was carrying
+arms and ammunition to the rebels in Puerto Cortez.
+
+When his search was over, and nothing had been found, Captain Reed
+vigorously protested against the treatment to which he had been subjected,
+and pointed to the American flag which was flying at the mast-head.
+
+General Reyes replied that he might protest all he pleased, but he ought
+to consider himself lucky that the _Lucy B._ had not sunk his vessel.
+
+The captain of the _Rover_ will enter a protest against the action of the
+Nicaraguans.
+
+We have spoken several times about the insignificant character of the
+revolutions in South America. We think it may interest our readers if we
+quote for them the statement on this subject, made by a gentleman who has
+been a good many years in Honduras, and who has large interests there.
+
+He says: "A revolution down there is really nothing but an election.
+
+"At election times the candidate for the Presidency who controls the guns
+wins the election. If the President doesn't suit after he is elected, some
+man gathers a force together, and a revolution follows.
+
+"As nobody pays much attention to an election, so nobody pays much
+attention to a revolution, except those most nearly interested in its
+success or failure.
+
+"The present President, Señor Bonilla, came into office after he had
+carried through a successful revolution against somebody else.
+
+"He is a clever man, and absolutely honest, but his standard is too high
+for Honduras."
+
+Richard Harding Davis has written a story called "Soldiers of Fortune,"
+which gives a very excellent account of one of these South American
+revolutions.

+
+The Massachusetts Assembly has made its annual appropriation for the
+destruction of the Gipsy moth.
+
+This is a moth whose larvĉ (as the caterpillars are called) do so much
+damage to foliage that the State has spent large sums of money in an
+attempt to destroy the troublesome pest. The matter has now been brought
+to the attention of Congress, and in the last Agricultural Appropriation
+Bill a special provision was made for a careful investigation of the
+matter.
+
+The caterpillar of the Gipsy moth strips the trees of their leaves as
+completely as if they had been swept by fire. Almost every variety of
+tree, as well as of farm or garden crop, is attacked by these worms, and
+the farmers in Eastern Massachusetts are terror-stricken over the army of
+them which yearly attacks their crops.
+
+The history of the introduction of the Gipsy moth into this country is a
+somewhat curious one.
+
+The moth is not a native of this country, but of Germany and Austria,
+where vast sums of money have also been spent by the governments in a vain
+endeavor to get rid of it.
+
+In 1869 a French naturalist came over to this country and settled in
+Medford, Mass.
+
+He had brought some Gipsy moth eggs with him from Europe, and intended
+making some experiments with them.
+
+He had the eggs out on his table one morning when he was called away from
+his work. He went out of the room, leaving the eggs lying near the window.
+
+When he returned he found that a puff of wind had blown the whole paper of
+eggs out of the window.
+
+He ran down into the garden and searched everywhere for the lost eggs, but
+in their flight through the air they had become scattered, and he was
+unable to find them.
+
+He well knew the dangerous character of the worm which hatches out of
+these eggs, and he went all round the village, explaining to every one,
+warning every one, and imploring every one to be on the look-out for the
+caterpillars when they should appear.
+
+The inhabitants of Medford thought he was a crazy Frenchman, and took no
+notice of his warning.
+
+It was twenty years after this before the people began to suffer from the
+ravages of the caterpillar, though for several years the neighbors of the
+old naturalist had been annoyed and puzzled at the way in which their
+gardens were eaten up.
+
+In 1889 the worms became so numerous, and did so much damage, that the
+Legislature set aside a sum of money for their destruction, and appointed
+a number of scientific men to undertake the work.
+
+Every spring since then the Gipsy Moth Commission has been at work.
+
+One summer, policemen were pressed into the service. They were stationed
+on all the roads leading out of the infected districts to examine every
+vehicle that drove through, to see that none of the caterpillars escaped
+into the surrounding country by clinging to the wheels or the body of the
+wagon.
+
+That year there were such myriads of these caterpillars, that they would
+fall by hundreds on the vehicles as they drove under the trees.
+
+The moth policemen were both necessary and useful.
+
+The Commission starts in, this year, with several new inventions for
+destroying both caterpillars and eggs, and hopes to make good progress.
+
+Thus far Massachusetts has spent nearly $1,000,000 in her effort to rid
+herself of the Gipsy moth.

+
+
+INVENTION AND DISCOVERY.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Summer trips will be more easy to arrange and pack for, if we have such
+space-saving inventions as the travelling or military hair-brush, as the
+inventor calls it. It is a handleless brush, the back forming a box deep
+enough to contain a comb, and provided with a sliding lid which pushes in
+or out like the lid of a child's pencil-box.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+This invention comes from the ever-inventive West, and consists of a
+penholder formed of tightly rolled paper which in some ingenious manner
+holds the pen permanently in place.
+
+At last we seem to have a mucilage brush that is going to answer every
+requirement.
+
+We have had them in plenty with the handles so arranged that the mucilage
+would not get on one's fingers, and so that the neck of the bottle would
+not get clogged. But so far every invention has fallen short in one very
+important particular. The brush has always been left in the mucilage,
+where it got hard and stiff and unusable for a time, or had to be lifted
+out and put in a fresh compartment, where it again dries and hardens.
+
+The new brush is so arranged that it does not touch the mucilage, but is
+held above it by a spring in the handle. When the gum is to be used, the
+top of the handle is pressed, and the brush is forced down into the bottle
+until it meets the liquid.
+
+The moment the finger is taken off the handle, the brush springs back into
+place; and when taken out of the bottle it is found to be furnished with a
+metal rim which prevents any of the liquid from touching the fingers.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+We have chronometers which can register time, and odometers which can
+register distance, but there has been the double weight to carry of the
+two instruments; and, while every effort is being made to reduce the
+weight of the bicycle as much as possible, every ounce or fraction of an
+ounce tells. Consequently all cyclists are indebted to the man whose happy
+thought it was to combine the two, and who had the skill to do it. An
+instrument can now be had which will at one and the same time register
+time and distance.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Something new which will surely find favor with bicycle riders is a
+simple coupling apparatus by means of which any two safety bicycles may be
+converted into a tandem. We see so many bicycle tandems in the parks and
+bicycle paths that riders will surely be glad to know that any two people
+can have a tandem at a moment's notice, and at the same time, if one
+person only wishes to ride, the machines can with equal speed be restored
+to their original condition.

+LETTERS FROM OUR YOUNG FRIENDS.
+
+
+    DEAR EDITOR:
+
+    I read with the greatest pleasure THE GREAT ROUND WORLD, and
+    think, if I may express myself so, that it tells all that is
+    going on in a nutshell.
+
+    We subscribe for your little magazine in our class, and we all
+    take turns reading it.
+
+    I wish you would inform me the difference between the government
+    of Russia and that of Turkey.
+
+                                 Very truly yours,
+                                        ROBERTSON P.
+    NEW YORK, May 7th, 1897.
+
+
+DEAR ROBERTSON:
+
+Russia is an absolute monarchy, which means a government in which the will
+of the monarch is positive law.
+
+Turkey is a theocratic absolute monarchy, which means something stronger
+yet than an absolute monarchy. The Sultan of Turkey is considered the
+successor to the Prophet Mohammed, and therefore he is not only the
+political but also the religious head of his people.
+
+                                                      EDITOR.
+
+
+    DEAR EDITOR:
+
+    I read THE GREAT ROUND WORLD and think it fine. The following
+    are books I have read and found very interesting: "A Knight of
+    the White Cross," by Henty. "Boy Explorers," by Prentice. "Jack
+    Ballister's Fortunes," "Merry Adventures of Robin Hood," both
+    by Pyle. "Log-Cabin Series," by Edward S. Ellis. "Boris the Bear
+    Hunter," by Fred Whishaw.
+
+    Did the ten Chinamen who were invited to have their heads
+    chopped off, escape?
+
+    Wishing great success to THE GREAT ROUND WORLD,
+
+                     I remain your faithful reader,
+                                           HOWARD B.
+    NEW YORK CITY, May 2d, 1897.
+
+
+DEAR HOWARD:
+
+It is too soon to know about the Chinamen yet. They came from San
+Francisco to see the Chinese Minister in Washington. There was to be a
+change of Chinese Ministers in this country, and it was expected that Mr.
+Yang Yu, the gentleman who was leaving this country, would go back to
+Peking, and so the See Yups wanted to make him the bearer of their
+messages.
+
+Mr. Yang Yu has, however, been appointed to St. Petersburg, in Russia, and
+it is doubtful if he can be of much use to his countrymen, as he may not
+go to China for several years.
+
+It is to be supposed that the Chinamen under sentence of death will have
+the sense to remain in this country, where they are safe.     EDITOR.
+
+
+    DEAR EDITOR:
+
+    I like Cuba. Do you think Cuba is winning, or Spain? I hope Cuba
+    will win. I am six years old. I like THE GREAT ROUND WORLD.
+    Please put me in the paper. I think that monster you wrote about
+    was very nice, but I would not like him to catch me, and I like
+    the lazy man's stairs. Good-by.
+
+                                  Yours truly,
+                                            ROBERT D.F.
+    BALTIMORE, MD.
+
+
+    DEAR EDITOR:
+
+    I think THE GREAT ROUND WORLD is fine for young folks to read,
+    and even for grown-up people, too. I enjoy reading it very much.
+    I think there is no other little book that will do us so much
+    good as THE GREAT ROUND WORLD.
+
+    I hope the United States will make Spain pay for the cruelty
+    that was done to Dr. Ruiz by them. It looks as if Cuba will win
+    her freedom from Spain, and I hope she will. I remain,
+
+                                       Yours truly,
+                                                HENRY H.
+    GLOUCESTER, MASS., April 14th, 1897.
+
+
+    DEAR EDITOR:
+
+    I like THE GREAT ROUND WORLD very much. I anxiously wait for it
+    to come. I hope Cuba and Spain and all countries will soon be
+    free from war. Do you think that Greece can keep its little
+    island Crete? I was very much interested in the story about the
+    St. Bernard.
+
+                                    Yours truly,
+                                             EDITH MCK.
+    GLOUCHESTER, MASS., April 14th, 1897.
+
+
+The Editor takes much pleasure in acknowledging the very nice letters from
+Robert D.F., Henry H., and Edith McK. They are all nice, well-written
+letters, which the Editor is very pleased to receive.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The Editor would be much pleased if Ph.D. (McCoy Hall, Baltimore, Md.)
+would explain his views on the Bering Sea Arbitration Award.
+
+The columns of THE GREAT ROUND WORLD are always open to arguments on both
+sides of a question.
+
+If Ph.D. will favor us with a few lines on the subject we shall be
+delighted to publish them.

+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by

+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.

+
+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.

+
+<p>The settlement of the terms of peace between Turkey and Greece promises to
+be a very long and tedious matter.</p>
+
+<p>It has been announced that Turkey offers to conclude peace, provided
+Greece pays her $15,000,000 to cover her war expenses, gives her certain
+strategic points in Thessaly, and turns over to her the Greek fleet until
+the war expenses are paid.</p>
+
+<p>The Sultan has begun the negotiations by asking for everything he could
+think of, but this was just what people expected he would do.</p>
+
+<p>England regards Turkey's demands as unfair, and will oppose them. She
+thinks that Greece should merely be made to withdraw her troops from
+Crete, and give Turkey a reasonable sum of money as war indemnity.</p>
+
+<p>It is a pity that England did not show some of this sympathy sooner,
+instead of standing idly by until Turkey had brought Greece to her present
+piteous plight.</p>
+
+<p>That Greece should have been so easily beaten is still a cause of
+wonderment.<a name="Page_814" id="Page_814"></a></p>
+
+<p>If all accounts are true, the Crown Prince Constantine deserves a good
+deal of the blame of the disaster. He was not experienced enough to take
+command of an army in an important campaign, and should not have
+undertaken so difficult a task unless he was sure of himself.</p>
+
+<p>It is said by all the newspaper correspondents who were with the Greek
+army, that the shameful flight from Larissa was the cause of the series of
+defeats that followed it. These men declare that after Larissa the Greeks
+lost confidence in their commanders, and had no hope of success.</p>
+
+<p>It is claimed that if the Greeks had pushed forward instead of retreating,
+the Turks must have been beaten.</p>
+
+<p>Up to the evening of April 23d, when the retreat occurred, the Turks were
+in a desperate condition. Edhem Pasha, the general in command of the
+Turkish army, had decided that it was impossible to break through the
+Greek lines, and had ordered a retreat to Elassona. That very night he
+telegraphed the hopelessness of his situation to Constantinople, and a
+special messenger left for Athens, bearing a message from the Sultan,
+asking for peace.</p>
+
+<p>The retreat on Larissa changed the whole fate of the war.</p>
+
+<p>There are many rumors why this retreat was ordered, but no one seems to
+understand the matter clearly.</p>
+
+<p>One report says that the Turks were actually falling back on Elassona, and
+one of the Greek generals, seeing the movement, mistook it for an attempt
+to surround the Greeks and cut their army to pieces. He is said to have
+galloped to the Crown Prince with <a name="Page_815" id="Page_815"></a>this mis-information, and assured him
+that unless he ordered a retreat they would all be sacrificed. The Crown
+Prince did not attempt to assure himself of the accuracy of this
+statement, but at once issued the fatal order.</p>
+
+<p>If this account be true, the two armies must have been fleeing from each
+other at the same moment.</p>
+
+<p>Edhem Pasha, being a good general, soon discovered what had happened. He
+at once saw his opportunity and took advantage of it.</p>
+
+<p>The Greeks, unfortunately, had no general who knew thoroughly the art of
+war, and so their mistake was not understood.</p>
+
+<p>In reviewing the short Greek campaign, some interesting comparisons have
+been made between the war in Greece and the war in Cuba. The conclusion
+arrived at has been that good leaders are the essential for successful
+warfare, and that without them the bravest soldiers are of little use.</p>
+
+<p>The army sent by Spain against Cuba was about as large as that sent by
+Turkey against Greece, but there were only one-fifth as many Cubans to
+fight the Spanish army as there were Greeks to fight the Turks. The
+Cubans, moreover, were badly armed, knew little of the trade of
+soldiering, and were merely a band of sturdy patriots, fighting with a
+determination to conquer or die, while the Greeks were finely equipped
+soldiers.</p>
+
+<p>One would have supposed that the Greeks would have given the Turks some
+hard fighting, and have been able to make their own terms in the end, and
+that the Cubans would have been subdued in very short order.</p>

+<p><a name="Page_817" id="Page_817"></a></p>
+
+<p>How different the results have been.</p>
+
+<p>Greece with her splendid army had no leaders worthy of the name, and has
+been whipped and shamed in two short weeks of war.</p>
+
+<p>Cuba, in spite of her motley, ill-armed bands of soldiers, is happy in the
+possession of some great leaders. Cuba had her Maceo, and has yet her
+Gomez and her Garcia.</p>
+
+<p>What have these generals done for her?</p>
+
+<p>For more than two years they have carried on the unequal war. Clever
+enough to avoid meeting the Spaniards in any pitched battles, that, if
+lost, would ruin their cause, they have succeeded in harassing their foe,
+wasting Spain's money, wearing out her patience, and keeping her at bay
+until time has made better soldiers of them, drawn more friends to their
+cause, and rendered the conditions more equal.</p>
+
+<p>The success of the Cubans can be looked forward to with confidence,
+because they are well generaled. The failure of the Greeks was expected
+with equal certainty, when it became evident that the Hellenic army had no
+leaders.</p>
+
+<p>Poor little Greece!</p>
+
+<p>There is still some fighting going on.</p>
+
+<p>The Turks are pressing on, and will continue to do so until the
+negotiations for peace are actually begun. Every Greek town they can
+capture, every mile they can advance into Greek territory before peace is
+formally asked for, gives the Turk the right of demanding better terms
+when the final arrangements are made.</p>
+
+<p>In Thessaly the Sultan's army has occupied Volo and Pharsala, and there is
+no doubt that it will soon gain possession of Domokho.<a name="Page_818" id="Page_818"></a></p>
+
+<p>In Epirus the Turks routed the Greeks when they attempted to advance after
+the retreat to Arta.</p>
+
+<p>The army is said to be completely discouraged by the frequent defeats, and
+sorrow and discontent reign throughout Greece.</p>
+
+<hr style='width: 45%;' />
+
+<p>The Greeks are a very excitable people, and it was only natural to suppose
+that when the fortunes of war turned against them, they would seek to
+throw the blame for their defeat on their rulers.</p>
+
+<p>Every trouble that has befallen Greece has been laid at the door of King
+George and his sons.</p>
+
+<p>There have been wild rumors of making the King give up his throne, and it
+was reported that a Russian vessel was moored off the Pir&aelig;us to rescue the
+Royal Family in case of need.</p>
+
+<p>These stories have not been verified, and probably have little truth in
+them. When Greece calms down a little she will learn that her King has
+been doing the best he could for his country and his people, and their old
+kindly feelings for him will return.</p>
+
+<p>The Royal Family have kept themselves quietly in their palace during the
+worries, the Queen and Princesses working unceasingly for the relief of
+the sick and wounded.</p>

+
+<p>Important news has reached us from Cuba.</p>
+
+<p>Gomez is in Havana Province, and it is said that the Spaniards were
+defeated in a battle at Guines, thirty miles from Havana.</p>
+
+<p>The city of Havana is once more in a state of excitement. As usual, the
+authorities deny that there are any insurgents in Havana Province, and as
+usual <a name="Page_819" id="Page_819"></a>the people do not believe a word of their proclamations, and are
+terrified lest the city be bombarded by Gomez.</p>
+
+<p>The first news of the nearness of the insurgents was brought by a few
+Spaniards who formed part of a garrison at Bermeja, a small town on the
+borders of Havana Province.</p>
+
+<p>These men straggled into the city with the information that the Cubans had
+seized the town and their little fort. They had all been captured, and had
+been brought before the general in command, who proved to be Gomez
+himself. All but ten of the prisoners were Cubans who had enlisted in the
+Spanish service.</p>
+
+<p>General Gomez freed the Spaniards, but ordered the Cubans to be hanged on
+the spot, as traitors to their country.</p>
+
+<p>The Spaniards reported that Gomez had a force of 2,000 men with him, and
+that General Carillo was following him with another party of 3,000 more.
+In Havana it is expected that an attempt to capture the city will be made
+within a few days.</p>
+
+<p>It is said that the Cubans have been concentrating their forces in and
+around Havana Province for some time past, and that the troops who served
+under General Rivera, some 7,000 men in all, are waiting in Pinar del Rio
+until Gomez gives them the signal to join him.</p>
+
+<p>Pinar del Rio is at the west of Havana Province. In Matanzas, at the east
+of Havana, more insurgents are said to be gathered. It looks as if the
+Cubans were really closing in on Havana for a definite purpose.<a name="Page_820" id="Page_820"></a></p>
+
+<p>Spain is trying to raise a new loan to meet the cost of the wars in Cuba
+and the Philippine Islands.</p>
+
+<p>There is a report that the health of General Rivera is failing. It is said
+that, for want of proper care, his wounds are not healing, and that he is
+suffering a great deal from them.</p>
+
+<p>Senator Morgan's bill for recognizing the belligerency of Cuba has been
+debated in the Senate.</p>
+
+<p>No progress has been made with it, however.</p>
+
+<p>Some of the Senators spoke very warmly in its favor, and reminded the
+Senate of the time when we, too, were struggling for our liberty, and
+needed and obtained the support of other countries.</p>
+
+<p>Other Senators tried to get rid of the bill by sending it to the Committee
+on Foreign Relations, which would mean a long delay before it could be
+brought to a vote.</p>
+
+<p>The chances are that nothing definite will be done for the present, and
+that the Cubans will not receive any help from the United States.</p>
+
+<p>The Navy Department has refused to send any more vessels to patrol the
+seas for filibusters.</p>
+
+<p>There are now three ships detailed for that duty, and more have been asked
+for.</p>
+
+<p>Mr. Long, the Secretary of the Navy, says that he thinks three are plenty,
+that the rainy season is at hand, and very little fighting will be done in
+Cuba after it once sets in.</p>
+
+<hr style='width: 45%;' />
+
+<p>The death of the Duke d'Aumale has just been announced.</p>
+
+<p>This gentleman was a personage of very great interest to Europeans.<a name="Page_821" id="Page_821"></a></p>
+
+<p>He was the fourth son of Louis Philippe&mdash;the King of France who was
+deposed in 1848. The Duke d'Aumale was trained to be a soldier. He loved
+his profession, and made great progress in it, winning honors for himself
+when but a lad of nineteen.</p>
+
+<p>The French people idolized him, and declared that he would some day be to
+France what Wellington was to England.</p>
+
+<p>His father was then King, and the Duke induced the King to send him on
+active service, and for six years he was in various campaigns, always
+distinguishing himself for his bravery and soldierly qualities.</p>
+
+<p>At the end of this time there was a revolution in France. The King was
+deposed, a second republic declared, and the whole Orleans family exiled.</p>
+
+<p>The King and the princes went to England, and purchased some fine property
+near London, at a place called Twickenham. Here the Duke lived, devoting
+himself to literature and study.</p>
+
+<p>The ungrateful French Government, forgetting the services he had done for
+his country, not content with banishing him with the rest of his family,
+took from him a famous estate called Chantilly, which had belonged to his
+ancestors for centuries.</p>
+
+<p>Despite this treatment the Duke's love for his country never changed.</p>
+
+<p>When the Franco-German war broke out in 1870 he instantly offered his
+services to France.</p>
+
+<p>Napoleon III., the same Napoleon who sent Maximilian to Mexico, was then
+Emperor of France.</p>
+
+<p>He declined the help of the Duke d'Aumale, fearing to allow any of the
+princes of the royal blood to serve <a name="Page_822" id="Page_822"></a>in the army, lest they might endeavor
+to influence the soldiers to bring about a new revolution.</p>
+
+<p>After the battle of Sedan, when Napoleon was taken prisoner, and France
+once more became a republic, the Duke returned to France and took an
+active part in the affairs of State, and Chantilly and the greater portion
+of his lands were restored to him.</p>
+
+<p>The other Orleans princes also returned to France, and remained there
+until 1883, when the Minister of War, following the policy of Napoleon
+III., declared it undesirable to have the princes serving in the army.</p>
+
+<p>The Duke's name was struck off the army-roll by that General Boulanger who
+made such a stir in France at that time. All the commissions held by the
+Orleans princes were cancelled, and the whole family once more banished
+from France.</p>
+
+<p>A few weeks after the Duke had left France, the French people were
+somewhat ashamed to learn that this man, whom they had twice hounded out
+of the country, had returned good for evil, and made a present to the
+nation, or rather to the Institute of France, of his beautiful chateau of
+Chantilly.</p>
+
+<p>The Institute laid the matter before the Government, and asked that the
+decree of exile be revoked.</p>
+
+<p>After some time this was done, and the Duke returned to France to live in
+Chantilly, which, by the terms of his gift, he was at liberty to use
+during his lifetime.</p>
+
+<p>The Duke was seventy years of age. His death was caused by the news that
+the Duchess d'Alen&ccedil;on, a favorite niece of his, had been burnt to death in
+a dreadful fire which has just occurred in Paris.<a name="Page_823" id="Page_823"></a></p>
+
+<p>Some charitable ladies organized a bazaar for the benefit of sick women
+and children.</p>
+
+<p>The great ladies of France were interested in it, and its opening was one
+of the fashionable events in Paris.</p>
+
+<p>One afternoon during the progress of the bazaar, when the place was full
+of visitors, and many of the greatest ladies in French society were in the
+building, buying and selling, a cry of fire was raised, and it was found
+that one of the stalls was in flames.</p>
+
+<p>Unhappily, there was but one exit to the building, and the fire spread so
+rapidly that it was impossible for all to escape. A number of the ladies
+were burned to death.</p>
+
+<p>All Paris, indeed all Europe, is in mourning because of the disaster, for
+there is hardly a noble family in Europe which was not represented at the
+bazaar.</p>
+
+<p>The Duchess d'Alen&ccedil;on, one of the unfortunate ladies who perished in the
+flames, was not only the niece of the Duke d'Aumale, but the sister of the
+Empress of Austria.</p>
+
+<p>This same duchess came near being a queen herself, for at one time she was
+betrothed to the King of Bavaria, the same King who first understood and
+appreciated Richard Wagner, the famous composer, and encouraged him to
+write the wonderful works which have changed the whole history of music.</p>
+
+<hr style='width: 45%;' />
+
+<p>Li Hung Chang has not forgotten us, though he is far away in his own
+country.</p>
+
+<p>His regard for General Grant was well known, and when he came to this
+country he expressed a wish to visit the tomb of his dead friend.<a name="Page_824" id="Page_824"></a></p>
+
+<p>While paying this visit he said that he would like to show his regard for
+the great man in some permanent way.</p>
+
+<p>It was suggested that he should plant a tree on the site of the old tomb,
+and he seemed greatly pleased with the idea, but nothing further was said
+on the subject at the time.</p>
+
+<p>The other day Mr. Yang Yu received a letter from the Viceroy, asking him
+to plant the tree before he left the country.</p>
+
+<p>Mr. Yang Yu is the Chinese Minister who has just been recalled from
+Washington, and sent on an important mission to St. Petersburg.</p>
+
+<p>When the Minister received the order from the Viceroy, he sent word to the
+Park Commissioners asking them if the matter could be arranged.</p>
+
+<p>It was not possible for Li Hung to send a tree from China, but he wrote
+Yang Yu that he would like him to select a tree that was a native of
+China.</p>
+
+<p>A tree was obtained which is a native of Japan and China. It is called the
+Maidenhair tree, because its leaves resemble those of the Maidenhair fern.</p>
+
+<p>Its botanical name is <i>Gingko Biloba</i>.</p>
+
+<p>The tree was partly planted by the gardeners, and then the Chinese
+Minister, accompanied by some members of the Grant family, proceeded to
+the spot to perform the ceremony in the name of Li Hung Chang.</p>
+
+<p>The Minister threw a few shovelfuls of earth on the roots of the tree, and
+then read some words in Chinese from a scroll he carried.</p>
+
+<p>The words were translated by the Secretary, and proved to be:</p>
+
+<p>&quot;This tree is planted at the side of the tomb of<a name="Page_825" id="Page_825"></a> General U.S. Grant,
+ex-President of the United States of America, for the purpose of
+commemorating him, by Li Hung Chang, guardian of the Prince, Grand
+Secretary of the State, and Earl of the first order.</p>

+

+
+<p>It does not seem as if he were going to be of much use to them, for

+
+<hr style='width: 45%;' />
+
+<p>An amusing story comes from Victoria, British Columbia, about the Chinese
+special envoy, who has just arrived in New York on his way to London.</p>
+
+<p>When the Canadian Pacific steamer which brought him over from China
+arrived in port, it was found that she had two cases of smallpox on board.</p>
+
+<p>The authorities of Victoria at once ordered her to quarantine for
+twenty-four days.</p>
+
+<p>The steerage passengers, who were all Chinamen, were taken to the
+quarantine station, where the usual process of fumigation and disinfection
+took place.</p>
+
+<p>There were, doubtless, many protests and wails from the unfortunate
+Celestials, but nobody heeded them, and the work was carried through
+without difficulty.</p>
+
+<p>When, however, it came to the other passengers, <a name="Page_826" id="Page_826"></a>there was a great
+disturbance. The English were furious, threatening terrible things if any
+one attempted to fumigate them. A special company of 200 armed men was
+consequently detailed to guard the quarantine station, lest the passengers
+should attempt to get away before the twenty-four days were over.</p>
+
+<p>All this trouble was as nothing, however, to that which arose when it was
+conveyed to His Excellency Chang, Special Envoy from the Emperor of China
+to Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, that he needed disinfecting!</p>
+
+<p>Accompanying the Envoy was his suite, which was composed of a number of
+Chinamen of high rank. None of these illustrious persons had the slightest
+knowledge of Western ways, and they one and all protested that to fumigate
+them, or their great Chang, was practically fumigating the Emperor of
+China! In their eyes this seemed the most awful crime that mortal could
+commit.</p>
+
+<p>His Excellency Chang refused to submit to any such insulting treatment,
+and appealed to the Canadian Government, the British Government, and the
+Chinese Ministers in London to protect him.</p>
+
+<p>He declared that, rather than submit, he would go back to China without
+fulfilling his mission,&mdash;a proceeding fraught with considerable danger to
+himself, as he stated that the Emperor, his master, might cut off his
+head, and the heads of all his suite, for disobedience to his wishes. But
+the noble Envoy preferred death to fumigation.</p>
+
+<p>What he imagined fumigation was it is impossible to say, but he warned the
+authorities that if they <a name="Page_827" id="Page_827"></a>attempted it, the Emperor of China would declare
+war on England.</p>
+
+<p>The unfortunate officials did not know what to do, and waited in a great
+state of anxiety for orders from the Government.</p>
+
+<p>The story does not say how the matter was arranged, but as His Excellency
+is now in New York, and war has not been declared by China, it is to be
+supposed that he was not fumigated.</p>
+
+<hr style='width: 45%;' />
+
+<p>The Japanese are a very progressive people.</p>
+
+<p>A generation ago the inhabitants of Japan were not allowed to leave their
+country, nor were foreigners permitted to enter it.</p>
+
+<p>Since the war with China Japan has taken a wonderful start; her commerce
+and manufactures have greatly increased, and her people have begun to seek
+a better market for their labors, and emigrate to foreign countries.</p>
+
+<p>Japan is a densely populated land, and the inhabitants have not been slow
+to see that an overcrowded country, where thousands of people are
+constantly unemployed, is not a good place to make money in.</p>
+
+<p>Since the Japanese have been permitted to seek their fortunes in other
+lands, they have emigrated in vast numbers.</p>
+
+<p>They are now to be found all over the world.</p>
+
+<p>We have spoken about them in Hawaii, but the Sandwich Islanders are not
+the only people to protest against them as colonists.</p>
+
+<p>In British Columbia they have arrived in such hordes that the Government
+has been considering laws to keep them out in future.<a name="Page_828" id="Page_828"></a></p>
+
+<p>In California there is a strong opposition to them. They are not desired
+in Australia, nor in the English colonies in the Pacific Ocean.</p>
+
+<p>With all these countries making laws against them, and Hawaii sending them
+back from her shores, it would seem that the thrifty Japanese would have
+to stay in their own country. However, a haven has just been offered to
+them in Mexico.</p>
+
+<p>A Japanese syndicate has secured 300,000 acres in the Mexican State of
+Chiapas, on which a Japanese colony is to be established. The land is to
+be divided into lots of 20 acres, one lot to be assigned to each family.</p>
+
+<p>The immigrants are to raise coffee, cotton, tobacco, and sugar, and to
+introduce certain Japanese industries.</p>
+
+<p>The first party of colonists are now on their way to Mexico, and it is
+thought that thousands will follow them.</p>
+
+<p>The Mexicans are said to be quite pleased with the prospect of the
+Japanese settling among them. They need a great many laborers; these they
+find it very difficult to obtain, and they expect the new immigrants to be
+a great help to them.</p>
+
+<p>It will be interesting to watch how the amiable, active Japanese get along
+with the fiery, indolent Mexicans.</p>
+
+<hr style='width: 45%;' />
+
+<p>Hawaii is disturbed over the news that the Japanese cruiser <i>Naniwa</i> is on
+its way to Honolulu.</p>
+
+<p>She brings with her a special Japanese Commissioner, who will investigate
+the immigration matters, and claim from the Government of the Sandwich<a name="Page_829" id="Page_829"></a>
+Islands the sum of $100,000 damages for preventing her citizens from
+landing.</p>
+
+<p>It is reported that the <i>Naniwa</i> has on board three of the emigrants who
+were refused admission, and that she will try and land them, for the
+purpose of making the Hawaiian Government prove in the courts its right to
+forbid their entry.</p>
+
+<p>The Japanese insist that Hawaii has violated the treaty existing between
+Japan and the Sandwich Islands. The Honolulu lawyers have been studying
+the treaty, and insist that the immigrants had no legal right to land, and
+that the treaty has not been violated.</p>
+
+<p>In the mean while, the Government of Hawaii is doing all in its power to
+get white laborers employed instead of Japanese on all the sugar and
+coffee plantations. And as it is feared that the United States will not
+care to annex the islands if all the labor is done by Asiatics and there
+is no room for white men, it is trying to get Americans to go over with
+their families, and is promising them steady and paying employment.</p>
+
+<p>An Immigration Bureau has been opened, and every effort will be made to
+get first-class American laborers to go there.</p>
+
+<hr style='width: 45%;' />
+
+<p>The revolution in Honduras has been suppressed.</p>
+
+<p>We mentioned this trouble in No. 26 of <span class='smcap'>The Great Round World</span>, and
+said that her sister republics had declined to interfere.</p>
+
+<p>Matters became so threatening, and the revolution took on such a serious
+aspect, that Nicaragua finally <a name="Page_830" id="Page_830"></a>decided to help; but she did not move
+until Dr. de Soto had been proclaimed President by the rebel party, and
+had gained possession of the town of Puerto Cortez.</p>
+
+<p>Finding that the revolution promised to be something more than the usual
+South American affair, Great Britain and the United States both ordered
+cruisers to Puerto Cortez to protect the interests of their citizens.</p>
+
+<p>Nicaragua at the same time armed a steam-tug, and, loading her with
+soldiers, sent her to the little town to recapture it from the insurgents.</p>
+
+<p>This was evidently accomplished, and appears to have ended the revolution.
+A telegram has been received in Washington from our American Consul in
+Honduras, stating that the revolution is at an end.</p>
+
+<p>There is, however, a very indignant feeling against Nicaragua, in
+consequence of a story which has been brought in by the steamer <i>Rover</i>.</p>
+
+<p>Captain Reed, of the <i>Rover</i>, which is a fruit steamer, declares that when
+about four miles out of Puerto Cortez, his vessel, though flying the
+American flag, was fired upon by the Nicaraguan gunboat <i>Lucy B.</i></p>
+
+<p>The story as told by him is that he reached Puerto Cortez on May 6th, and
+knowing the port to be in the hands of the insurgents, he decided not to
+anchor, but to cruise about until the customs officers should board him,
+and tell him whether it would be safe to land.</p>
+
+<p>He could see that the town was in a state of ferment, and that the
+inhabitants were running about from place to place.</p>
+
+<p>After waiting a little while he thought it unsafe to land, and determined
+to go to the town of Omoa, <a name="Page_831" id="Page_831"></a>where he knew the government forces were in
+possession.</p>
+
+<p>He had travelled about four miles from Puerto Cortez when he sighted the
+<i>Lucy B.</i></p>
+
+<p>He decided to wait for her, and find out from her how matters stood in
+Puerto Cortez.</p>
+
+<p>Suddenly, when about half a mile away, the <i>Lucy B.</i> fired on the <i>Rover</i>.</p>
+
+<p>Captain Reed instantly ordered the engines to be stopped, and brought the
+vessel to a standstill; but before the sailors had time to carry out his
+orders, another shot was fired at him.</p>
+
+<p>Soon after the vessel was boarded by General Reyes, of the Nicaraguan
+government, and six of his followers.</p>
+
+<p>He examined the ship's papers, and though finding them in order, still had
+the ship searched from end to end, declaring that the <i>Rover</i> was carrying
+arms and ammunition to the rebels in Puerto Cortez.</p>
+
+<p>When his search was over, and nothing had been found, Captain Reed
+vigorously protested against the treatment to which he had been subjected,
+and pointed to the American flag which was flying at the mast-head.</p>
+
+<p>General Reyes replied that he might protest all he pleased, but he ought
+to consider himself lucky that the <i>Lucy B.</i> had not sunk his vessel.</p>
+
+<p>The captain of the <i>Rover</i> will enter a protest against the action of the
+Nicaraguans.</p>
+
+<p>We have spoken several times about the insignificant character of the
+revolutions in South America. We think it may interest our readers if we
+quote for them the statement on this subject, made by a gen<a name="Page_832" id="Page_832"></a>tleman who has
+been a good many years in Honduras, and who has large interests there.</p>
+
+<p>He says: &quot;A revolution down there is really nothing but an election.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;At election times the candidate for the Presidency who controls the guns
+wins the election. If the President doesn't suit after he is elected, some
+man gathers a force together, and a revolution follows.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;As nobody pays much attention to an election, so nobody pays much
+attention to a revolution, except those most nearly interested in its
+success or failure.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;The present President, Se&ntilde;or Bonilla, came into office after he had
+carried through a successful revolution against somebody else.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;He is a clever man, and absolutely honest, but his standard is too high
+for Honduras.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Richard Harding Davis has written a story called &quot;Soldiers of Fortune,&quot;
+which gives a very excellent account of one of these South American
+revolutions.</p>
+
+<hr style='width: 45%;' />
+
+<p>The Massachusetts Assembly has made its annual appropriation for the
+destruction of the Gipsy moth.</p>
+
+<p>This is a moth whose larv&aelig; (as the caterpillars are called) do so much
+damage to foliage that the State has spent large sums of money in an
+attempt to destroy the troublesome pest. The matter has now been brought
+to the attention of Congress, and in the last Agricultural Appropriation
+Bill a special provision was made for a careful investigation of the
+matter.</p>
+
+<p>The caterpillar of the Gipsy moth strips the trees of their leaves as
+completely as if they had been swept by fire. Almost every variety of
+tree, as well as of farm or garden crop, is attacked by these worms, <a name="Page_833" id="Page_833"></a>and
+the farmers in Eastern Massachusetts are terror-stricken over the army of
+them which yearly attacks their crops.</p>
+
+<p>The history of the introduction of the Gipsy moth into this country is a
+somewhat curious one.</p>
+
+<p>The moth is not a native of this country, but of Germany and Austria,
+where vast sums of money have also been spent by the governments in a vain
+endeavor to get rid of it.</p>
+
+<p>In 1869 a French naturalist came over to this country and settled in
+Medford, Mass.</p>
+
+<p>He had brought some Gipsy moth eggs with him from Europe, and intended
+making some experiments with them.</p>
+
+<p>He had the eggs out on his table one morning when he was called away from
+his work. He went out of the room, leaving the eggs lying near the window.</p>
+
+<p>When he returned he found that a puff of wind had blown the whole paper of
+eggs out of the window.</p>
+
+<p>He ran down into the garden and searched everywhere for the lost eggs, but
+in their flight through the air they had become scattered, and he was
+unable to find them.</p>
+
+<p>He well knew the dangerous character of the worm which hatches out of
+these eggs, and he went all round the village, explaining to every one,
+warning every one, and imploring every one to be on the look-out for the
+caterpillars when they should appear.</p>
+
+<p>The inhabitants of Medford thought he was a crazy Frenchman, and took no
+notice of his warning.</p>
+
+<p>It was twenty years after this before the people began to suffer from the
+ravages of the caterpillar, though for several years the neighbors of the
+old nat<a name="Page_834" id="Page_834"></a>uralist had been annoyed and puzzled at the way in which their
+gardens were eaten up.</p>
+
+<p>In 1889 the worms became so numerous, and did so much damage, that the
+Legislature set aside a sum of money for their destruction, and appointed
+a number of scientific men to undertake the work.</p>
+
+<p>Every spring since then the Gipsy Moth Commission has been at work.</p>
+
+<p>One summer, policemen were pressed into the service. They were stationed
+on all the roads leading out of the infected districts to examine every
+vehicle that drove through, to see that none of the caterpillars escaped
+into the surrounding country by clinging to the wheels or the body of the
+wagon.</p>
+
+<p>That year there were such myriads of these caterpillars, that they would
+fall by hundreds on the vehicles as they drove under the trees.</p>
+
+<p>The moth policemen were both necessary and useful.</p>
+
+<p>The Commission starts in, this year, with several new inventions for
+destroying both caterpillars and eggs, and hopes to make good progress.</p>
+
+<p>Thus far Massachusetts has spent nearly $1,000,000 in her effort to rid
+herself of the Gipsy moth.</p>

+<h2>INVENTION AND DISCOVERY.</h2>
+
+
+<p>Summer trips will be more easy to arrange and pack for, if we have such
+space-saving inventions as the travelling or military hair-brush, as the
+inventor calls it. It is a handleless brush, the back forming a box deep
+enough to contain a comb, and provided with a sliding lid which pushes in
+or out like the lid of a child's pencil-box.</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/27a.jpg"><img src="./images/27a-tb.jpg" alt="Handless Brush" title="Handless Brush" /></a></p>
+
+
+<hr style="width: 45%;" />
+<p>This invention comes from the ever-inventive West, and consists of a
+penholder formed of tightly rolled paper which in some ingenious manner
+holds the pen permanently in place.</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/27b.jpg"><img src="./images/27b-tb.jpg" alt="Penholder" title="Penholder" /></a></p>
+
+<hr style="width: 45%;" />
+
+<div class="figleft"><a href="./images/28a.jpg"><img src="./images/28a-tb.jpg" alt="Mucilage Brush" title="Mucilage Brush" /></a></div>
+
+<p>At last we seem to have a mucilage brush that is going to answer every
+requirement.</p>
+
+<p>We have had them in plenty with the handles so arranged that the mucilage
+would not get on one's fingers, and so that the neck of the bottle would
+not get clogged. But so far every invention has fallen short in one very
+important particular. The brush has always been left in the mucilage,
+where it got hard and stiff and unusable for a time, or had to be lifted
+out and put in a fresh compartment, where it again dries and hardens.</p>
+
+<p>The new brush is so arranged that it does not touch <a name="Page_836" id="Page_836"></a>the mucilage, but is
+held above it by a spring in the handle. When the gum is to be used, the
+top of the handle is pressed, and the brush is forced down into the bottle
+until it meets the liquid.</p>
+
+<p>The moment the finger is taken off the handle, the brush springs back into
+place; and when taken out of the bottle it is found to be furnished with a
+metal rim which prevents any of the liquid from touching the fingers.</p>
+
+<hr style="width: 45%;" />
+
+<p>We have chronometers which can register time, and odometers which can
+register distance, but there has been the double weight to carry of the
+two instruments; and, while every effort is being made to reduce the
+weight of the bicycle as much as possible, every ounce or fraction of an
+ounce tells. Consequently all cyclists are indebted to the man whose happy
+thought it was to combine the two, and who had the skill to do it. An
+instrument can now be had which will at one and the same time register
+time and distance.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter"><a href="./images/28b.jpg"><img src="./images/28b-tb.jpg" alt="Chronometer and Odometer Combination" title="Chronometer and Odometer Combination" /></a></div>
+
+<p><a name="Page_837" id="Page_837"></a>Something new which will surely find favor with bicycle riders is a
+simple coupling apparatus by means of which any two safety bicycles may be
+converted into a tandem. We see so many bicycle tandems in the parks and
+bicycle paths that riders will surely be glad to know that any two people
+can have a tandem at a moment's notice, and at the same time, if one
+person only wishes to ride, the machines can with equal speed be restored
+to their original condition.</p>

+
+<p>    We subscribe for your little magazine in our class, and we all

+
+<p>Russia is an absolute monarchy, which means a government in which the will
+of the monarch is positive law.</p>
+
+<p>Turkey is a theocratic absolute monarchy, which means something stronger
+yet than an absolute monarchy. The Sultan of Turkey is considered the
+successor to the Prophet Mohammed, and therefore he is not only the
+political but also the religious head of his people.</p>

+
+<p>    I read <span class='smcap'>The Great Round World</span> and think it fine. The

+<div><span class='smcap'>Dear Howard:</span></div>
+
+<p>It is too soon to know about the Chinamen yet. They came from San
+Francisco to see the Chinese Minister in Washington. There was to be a
+change of Chinese Ministers in this country, and it was expected that Mr.
+Yang Yu, the gentleman who was leaving this country, would go back to
+Peking, and so the See Yups wanted to make him the bearer of their
+messages.</p>
+
+<p>Mr. Yang Yu has, however, been appointed to St. Petersburg, in Russia, and
+it is doubtful if he can be of much use to his countrymen, as he may not
+go to China for several years.</p>
+
+<p>It is to be supposed that the Chinamen under sentence of death will have
+the sense to remain in this country, where they are safe.   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  <span class='smcap'>Editor.</span>

+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+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
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT

+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.

+
+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.

+
+The settlement of the terms of peace between Turkey and Greece promises to
+be a very long and tedious matter.
+
+It has been announced that Turkey offers to conclude peace, provided
+Greece pays her $15,000,000 to cover her war expenses, gives her certain
+strategic points in Thessaly, and turns over to her the Greek fleet until
+the war expenses are paid.
+
+The Sultan has begun the negotiations by asking for everything he could
+think of, but this was just what people expected he would do.
+
+England regards Turkey's demands as unfair, and will oppose them. She
+thinks that Greece should merely be made to withdraw her troops from
+Crete, and give Turkey a reasonable sum of money as war indemnity.
+
+It is a pity that England did not show some of this sympathy sooner,
+instead of standing idly by until Turkey had brought Greece to her present
+piteous plight.
+
+That Greece should have been so easily beaten is still a cause of
+wonderment.
+
+If all accounts are true, the Crown Prince Constantine deserves a good
+deal of the blame of the disaster. He was not experienced enough to take
+command of an army in an important campaign, and should not have
+undertaken so difficult a task unless he was sure of himself.
+
+It is said by all the newspaper correspondents who were with the Greek
+army, that the shameful flight from Larissa was the cause of the series of
+defeats that followed it. These men declare that after Larissa the Greeks
+lost confidence in their commanders, and had no hope of success.
+
+It is claimed that if the Greeks had pushed forward instead of retreating,
+the Turks must have been beaten.
+
+Up to the evening of April 23d, when the retreat occurred, the Turks were
+in a desperate condition. Edhem Pasha, the general in command of the
+Turkish army, had decided that it was impossible to break through the
+Greek lines, and had ordered a retreat to Elassona. That very night he
+telegraphed the hopelessness of his situation to Constantinople, and a
+special messenger left for Athens, bearing a message from the Sultan,
+asking for peace.
+
+The retreat on Larissa changed the whole fate of the war.
+
+There are many rumors why this retreat was ordered, but no one seems to
+understand the matter clearly.
+
+One report says that the Turks were actually falling back on Elassona, and
+one of the Greek generals, seeing the movement, mistook it for an attempt
+to surround the Greeks and cut their army to pieces. He is said to have
+galloped to the Crown Prince with this mis-information, and assured him
+that unless he ordered a retreat they would all be sacrificed. The Crown
+Prince did not attempt to assure himself of the accuracy of this
+statement, but at once issued the fatal order.
+
+If this account be true, the two armies must have been fleeing from each
+other at the same moment.
+
+Edhem Pasha, being a good general, soon discovered what had happened. He
+at once saw his opportunity and took advantage of it.
+
+The Greeks, unfortunately, had no general who knew thoroughly the art of
+war, and so their mistake was not understood.
+
+In reviewing the short Greek campaign, some interesting comparisons have
+been made between the war in Greece and the war in Cuba. The conclusion
+arrived at has been that good leaders are the essential for successful
+warfare, and that without them the bravest soldiers are of little use.
+
+The army sent by Spain against Cuba was about as large as that sent by
+Turkey against Greece, but there were only one-fifth as many Cubans to
+fight the Spanish army as there were Greeks to fight the Turks. The
+Cubans, moreover, were badly armed, knew little of the trade of
+soldiering, and were merely a band of sturdy patriots, fighting with a
+determination to conquer or die, while the Greeks were finely equipped
+soldiers.
+
+One would have supposed that the Greeks would have given the Turks some
+hard fighting, and have been able to make their own terms in the end, and
+that the Cubans would have been subdued in very short order.
+
+[Illustration: ATHENS: KING'S PALACE FROM THE GARDENS.]
+
+How different the results have been.
+
+Greece with her splendid army had no leaders worthy of the name, and has
+been whipped and shamed in two short weeks of war.
+
+Cuba, in spite of her motley, ill-armed bands of soldiers, is happy in the
+possession of some great leaders. Cuba had her Maceo, and has yet her
+Gomez and her Garcia.
+
+What have these generals done for her?
+
+For more than two years they have carried on the unequal war. Clever
+enough to avoid meeting the Spaniards in any pitched battles, that, if
+lost, would ruin their cause, they have succeeded in harassing their foe,
+wasting Spain's money, wearing out her patience, and keeping her at bay
+until time has made better soldiers of them, drawn more friends to their
+cause, and rendered the conditions more equal.
+
+The success of the Cubans can be looked forward to with confidence,
+because they are well generaled. The failure of the Greeks was expected
+with equal certainty, when it became evident that the Hellenic army had no
+leaders.
+
+Poor little Greece!
+
+There is still some fighting going on.
+
+The Turks are pressing on, and will continue to do so until the
+negotiations for peace are actually begun. Every Greek town they can
+capture, every mile they can advance into Greek territory before peace is
+formally asked for, gives the Turk the right of demanding better terms
+when the final arrangements are made.
+
+In Thessaly the Sultan's army has occupied Volo and Pharsala, and there is
+no doubt that it will soon gain possession of Domokho.
+
+In Epirus the Turks routed the Greeks when they attempted to advance after
+the retreat to Arta.
+
+The army is said to be completely discouraged by the frequent defeats, and
+sorrow and discontent reign throughout Greece.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The Greeks are a very excitable people, and it was only natural to suppose
+that when the fortunes of war turned against them, they would seek to
+throw the blame for their defeat on their rulers.
+
+Every trouble that has befallen Greece has been laid at the door of King
+George and his sons.
+
+There have been wild rumors of making the King give up his throne, and it
+was reported that a Russian vessel was moored off the Piraeus to rescue the
+Royal Family in case of need.
+
+These stories have not been verified, and probably have little truth in
+them. When Greece calms down a little she will learn that her King has
+been doing the best he could for his country and his people, and their old
+kindly feelings for him will return.
+
+The Royal Family have kept themselves quietly in their palace during the
+worries, the Queen and Princesses working unceasingly for the relief of
+the sick and wounded.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+Important news has reached us from Cuba.
+
+Gomez is in Havana Province, and it is said that the Spaniards were
+defeated in a battle at Guines, thirty miles from Havana.
+
+The city of Havana is once more in a state of excitement. As usual, the
+authorities deny that there are any insurgents in Havana Province, and as
+usual the people do not believe a word of their proclamations, and are
+terrified lest the city be bombarded by Gomez.
+
+The first news of the nearness of the insurgents was brought by a few
+Spaniards who formed part of a garrison at Bermeja, a small town on the
+borders of Havana Province.
+
+These men straggled into the city with the information that the Cubans had
+seized the town and their little fort. They had all been captured, and had
+been brought before the general in command, who proved to be Gomez
+himself. All but ten of the prisoners were Cubans who had enlisted in the
+Spanish service.
+
+General Gomez freed the Spaniards, but ordered the Cubans to be hanged on
+the spot, as traitors to their country.
+
+The Spaniards reported that Gomez had a force of 2,000 men with him, and
+that General Carillo was following him with another party of 3,000 more.
+In Havana it is expected that an attempt to capture the city will be made
+within a few days.
+
+It is said that the Cubans have been concentrating their forces in and
+around Havana Province for some time past, and that the troops who served
+under General Rivera, some 7,000 men in all, are waiting in Pinar del Rio
+until Gomez gives them the signal to join him.
+
+Pinar del Rio is at the west of Havana Province. In Matanzas, at the east
+of Havana, more insurgents are said to be gathered. It looks as if the
+Cubans were really closing in on Havana for a definite purpose.
+
+Spain is trying to raise a new loan to meet the cost of the wars in Cuba
+and the Philippine Islands.
+
+There is a report that the health of General Rivera is failing. It is said
+that, for want of proper care, his wounds are not healing, and that he is
+suffering a great deal from them.
+
+Senator Morgan's bill for recognizing the belligerency of Cuba has been
+debated in the Senate.
+
+No progress has been made with it, however.
+
+Some of the Senators spoke very warmly in its favor, and reminded the
+Senate of the time when we, too, were struggling for our liberty, and
+needed and obtained the support of other countries.
+
+Other Senators tried to get rid of the bill by sending it to the Committee
+on Foreign Relations, which would mean a long delay before it could be
+brought to a vote.
+
+The chances are that nothing definite will be done for the present, and
+that the Cubans will not receive any help from the United States.
+
+The Navy Department has refused to send any more vessels to patrol the
+seas for filibusters.
+
+There are now three ships detailed for that duty, and more have been asked
+for.
+
+Mr. Long, the Secretary of the Navy, says that he thinks three are plenty,
+that the rainy season is at hand, and very little fighting will be done in
+Cuba after it once sets in.

+
+The death of the Duke d'Aumale has just been announced.
+
+This gentleman was a personage of very great interest to Europeans.
+
+He was the fourth son of Louis Philippe--the King of France who was
+deposed in 1848. The Duke d'Aumale was trained to be a soldier. He loved
+his profession, and made great progress in it, winning honors for himself
+when but a lad of nineteen.
+
+The French people idolized him, and declared that he would some day be to
+France what Wellington was to England.
+
+His father was then King, and the Duke induced the King to send him on
+active service, and for six years he was in various campaigns, always
+distinguishing himself for his bravery and soldierly qualities.
+
+At the end of this time there was a revolution in France. The King was
+deposed, a second republic declared, and the whole Orleans family exiled.
+
+The King and the princes went to England, and purchased some fine property
+near London, at a place called Twickenham. Here the Duke lived, devoting
+himself to literature and study.
+
+The ungrateful French Government, forgetting the services he had done for
+his country, not content with banishing him with the rest of his family,
+took from him a famous estate called Chantilly, which had belonged to his
+ancestors for centuries.
+
+Despite this treatment the Duke's love for his country never changed.
+
+When the Franco-German war broke out in 1870 he instantly offered his
+services to France.
+
+Napoleon III., the same Napoleon who sent Maximilian to Mexico, was then
+Emperor of France.
+
+He declined the help of the Duke d'Aumale, fearing to allow any of the
+princes of the royal blood to serve in the army, lest they might endeavor
+to influence the soldiers to bring about a new revolution.
+
+After the battle of Sedan, when Napoleon was taken prisoner, and France
+once more became a republic, the Duke returned to France and took an
+active part in the affairs of State, and Chantilly and the greater portion
+of his lands were restored to him.
+
+The other Orleans princes also returned to France, and remained there
+until 1883, when the Minister of War, following the policy of Napoleon
+III., declared it undesirable to have the princes serving in the army.
+
+The Duke's name was struck off the army-roll by that General Boulanger who
+made such a stir in France at that time. All the commissions held by the
+Orleans princes were cancelled, and the whole family once more banished
+from France.
+
+A few weeks after the Duke had left France, the French people were
+somewhat ashamed to learn that this man, whom they had twice hounded out
+of the country, had returned good for evil, and made a present to the
+nation, or rather to the Institute of France, of his beautiful chateau of
+Chantilly.
+
+The Institute laid the matter before the Government, and asked that the
+decree of exile be revoked.
+
+After some time this was done, and the Duke returned to France to live in
+Chantilly, which, by the terms of his gift, he was at liberty to use
+during his lifetime.
+
+The Duke was seventy years of age. His death was caused by the news that
+the Duchess d'Alencon, a favorite niece of his, had been burnt to death in
+a dreadful fire which has just occurred in Paris.
+
+Some charitable ladies organized a bazaar for the benefit of sick women
+and children.
+
+The great ladies of France were interested in it, and its opening was one
+of the fashionable events in Paris.
+
+One afternoon during the progress of the bazaar, when the place was full
+of visitors, and many of the greatest ladies in French society were in the
+building, buying and selling, a cry of fire was raised, and it was found
+that one of the stalls was in flames.
+
+Unhappily, there was but one exit to the building, and the fire spread so
+rapidly that it was impossible for all to escape. A number of the ladies
+were burned to death.
+
+All Paris, indeed all Europe, is in mourning because of the disaster, for
+there is hardly a noble family in Europe which was not represented at the
+bazaar.
+
+The Duchess d'Alencon, one of the unfortunate ladies who perished in the
+flames, was not only the niece of the Duke d'Aumale, but the sister of the
+Empress of Austria.
+
+This same duchess came near being a queen herself, for at one time she was
+betrothed to the King of Bavaria, the same King who first understood and
+appreciated Richard Wagner, the famous composer, and encouraged him to
+write the wonderful works which have changed the whole history of music.

+
+Li Hung Chang has not forgotten us, though he is far away in his own
+country.
+
+His regard for General Grant was well known, and when he came to this
+country he expressed a wish to visit the tomb of his dead friend.
+
+While paying this visit he said that he would like to show his regard for
+the great man in some permanent way.
+
+It was suggested that he should plant a tree on the site of the old tomb,
+and he seemed greatly pleased with the idea, but nothing further was said
+on the subject at the time.
+
+The other day Mr. Yang Yu received a letter from the Viceroy, asking him
+to plant the tree before he left the country.
+
+Mr. Yang Yu is the Chinese Minister who has just been recalled from
+Washington, and sent on an important mission to St. Petersburg.
+
+When the Minister received the order from the Viceroy, he sent word to the
+Park Commissioners asking them if the matter could be arranged.
+
+It was not possible for Li Hung to send a tree from China, but he wrote
+Yang Yu that he would like him to select a tree that was a native of
+China.
+
+A tree was obtained which is a native of Japan and China. It is called the
+Maidenhair tree, because its leaves resemble those of the Maidenhair fern.
+
+Its botanical name is _Gingko Biloba_.
+
+The tree was partly planted by the gardeners, and then the Chinese
+Minister, accompanied by some members of the Grant family, proceeded to
+the spot to perform the ceremony in the name of Li Hung Chang.
+
+The Minister threw a few shovelfuls of earth on the roots of the tree, and
+then read some words in Chinese from a scroll he carried.
+
+The words were translated by the Secretary, and proved to be:
+
+"This tree is planted at the side of the tomb of General U.S. Grant,
+ex-President of the United States of America, for the purpose of
+commemorating him, by Li Hung Chang, guardian of the Prince, Grand
+Secretary of the State, and Earl of the first order.
+
+                                "YANG YU,
+            "Vice-President of the Centre Board.
+    "Kwang Hsu, 23d year, fourth moon, seventh day."
+
+This inscription is to be cut in marble, in Chinese and also in English,
+and placed near the tomb.
+
+The Mr. Yang Yu who performed the ceremony is the Minister whom the See
+Yups came on from San Francisco to visit.
+
+It does not seem as if he were going to be of much use to them, for
+instead of returning to China he is to go to St. Petersburg, and he may
+not see his Emperor for a very long time.
+

+
+An amusing story comes from Victoria, British Columbia, about the Chinese
+special envoy, who has just arrived in New York on his way to London.
+
+When the Canadian Pacific steamer which brought him over from China
+arrived in port, it was found that she had two cases of smallpox on board.
+
+The authorities of Victoria at once ordered her to quarantine for
+twenty-four days.
+
+The steerage passengers, who were all Chinamen, were taken to the
+quarantine station, where the usual process of fumigation and disinfection
+took place.
+
+There were, doubtless, many protests and wails from the unfortunate
+Celestials, but nobody heeded them, and the work was carried through
+without difficulty.
+
+When, however, it came to the other passengers, there was a great
+disturbance. The English were furious, threatening terrible things if any
+one attempted to fumigate them. A special company of 200 armed men was
+consequently detailed to guard the quarantine station, lest the passengers
+should attempt to get away before the twenty-four days were over.
+
+All this trouble was as nothing, however, to that which arose when it was
+conveyed to His Excellency Chang, Special Envoy from the Emperor of China
+to Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, that he needed disinfecting!
+
+Accompanying the Envoy was his suite, which was composed of a number of
+Chinamen of high rank. None of these illustrious persons had the slightest
+knowledge of Western ways, and they one and all protested that to fumigate
+them, or their great Chang, was practically fumigating the Emperor of
+China! In their eyes this seemed the most awful crime that mortal could
+commit.
+
+His Excellency Chang refused to submit to any such insulting treatment,
+and appealed to the Canadian Government, the British Government, and the
+Chinese Ministers in London to protect him.
+
+He declared that, rather than submit, he would go back to China without
+fulfilling his mission,--a proceeding fraught with considerable danger to
+himself, as he stated that the Emperor, his master, might cut off his
+head, and the heads of all his suite, for disobedience to his wishes. But
+the noble Envoy preferred death to fumigation.
+
+What he imagined fumigation was it is impossible to say, but he warned the
+authorities that if they attempted it, the Emperor of China would declare
+war on England.
+
+The unfortunate officials did not know what to do, and waited in a great
+state of anxiety for orders from the Government.
+
+The story does not say how the matter was arranged, but as His Excellency
+is now in New York, and war has not been declared by China, it is to be
+supposed that he was not fumigated.
+

+
+The Japanese are a very progressive people.
+
+A generation ago the inhabitants of Japan were not allowed to leave their
+country, nor were foreigners permitted to enter it.
+
+Since the war with China Japan has taken a wonderful start; her commerce
+and manufactures have greatly increased, and her people have begun to seek
+a better market for their labors, and emigrate to foreign countries.
+
+Japan is a densely populated land, and the inhabitants have not been slow
+to see that an overcrowded country, where thousands of people are
+constantly unemployed, is not a good place to make money in.
+
+Since the Japanese have been permitted to seek their fortunes in other
+lands, they have emigrated in vast numbers.
+
+They are now to be found all over the world.
+
+We have spoken about them in Hawaii, but the Sandwich Islanders are not
+the only people to protest against them as colonists.
+
+In British Columbia they have arrived in such hordes that the Government
+has been considering laws to keep them out in future.
+
+In California there is a strong opposition to them. They are not desired
+in Australia, nor in the English colonies in the Pacific Ocean.
+
+With all these countries making laws against them, and Hawaii sending them
+back from her shores, it would seem that the thrifty Japanese would have
+to stay in their own country. However, a haven has just been offered to
+them in Mexico.
+
+A Japanese syndicate has secured 300,000 acres in the Mexican State of
+Chiapas, on which a Japanese colony is to be established. The land is to
+be divided into lots of 20 acres, one lot to be assigned to each family.
+
+The immigrants are to raise coffee, cotton, tobacco, and sugar, and to
+introduce certain Japanese industries.
+
+The first party of colonists are now on their way to Mexico, and it is
+thought that thousands will follow them.
+
+The Mexicans are said to be quite pleased with the prospect of the
+Japanese settling among them. They need a great many laborers; these they
+find it very difficult to obtain, and they expect the new immigrants to be
+a great help to them.
+
+It will be interesting to watch how the amiable, active Japanese get along
+with the fiery, indolent Mexicans.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+Hawaii is disturbed over the news that the Japanese cruiser _Naniwa_ is on
+its way to Honolulu.
+
+She brings with her a special Japanese Commissioner, who will investigate
+the immigration matters, and claim from the Government of the Sandwich
+Islands the sum of $100,000 damages for preventing her citizens from
+landing.
+
+It is reported that the _Naniwa_ has on board three of the emigrants who
+were refused admission, and that she will try and land them, for the
+purpose of making the Hawaiian Government prove in the courts its right to
+forbid their entry.
+
+The Japanese insist that Hawaii has violated the treaty existing between
+Japan and the Sandwich Islands. The Honolulu lawyers have been studying
+the treaty, and insist that the immigrants had no legal right to land, and
+that the treaty has not been violated.
+
+In the mean while, the Government of Hawaii is doing all in its power to
+get white laborers employed instead of Japanese on all the sugar and
+coffee plantations. And as it is feared that the United States will not
+care to annex the islands if all the labor is done by Asiatics and there
+is no room for white men, it is trying to get Americans to go over with
+their families, and is promising them steady and paying employment.
+
+An Immigration Bureau has been opened, and every effort will be made to
+get first-class American laborers to go there.

+
+The revolution in Honduras has been suppressed.
+
+We mentioned this trouble in No. 26 of THE GREAT ROUND WORLD, and said
+that her sister republics had declined to interfere.
+
+Matters became so threatening, and the revolution took on such a serious
+aspect, that Nicaragua finally decided to help; but she did not move
+until Dr. de Soto had been proclaimed President by the rebel party, and
+had gained possession of the town of Puerto Cortez.
+
+Finding that the revolution promised to be something more than the usual
+South American affair, Great Britain and the United States both ordered
+cruisers to Puerto Cortez to protect the interests of their citizens.
+
+Nicaragua at the same time armed a steam-tug, and, loading her with
+soldiers, sent her to the little town to recapture it from the insurgents.
+
+This was evidently accomplished, and appears to have ended the revolution.
+A telegram has been received in Washington from our American Consul in
+Honduras, stating that the revolution is at an end.
+
+There is, however, a very indignant feeling against Nicaragua, in
+consequence of a story which has been brought in by the steamer _Rover_.
+
+Captain Reed, of the _Rover_, which is a fruit steamer, declares that when
+about four miles out of Puerto Cortez, his vessel, though flying the
+American flag, was fired upon by the Nicaraguan gunboat _Lucy B._
+
+The story as told by him is that he reached Puerto Cortez on May 6th, and
+knowing the port to be in the hands of the insurgents, he decided not to
+anchor, but to cruise about until the customs officers should board him,
+and tell him whether it would be safe to land.
+
+He could see that the town was in a state of ferment, and that the
+inhabitants were running about from place to place.
+
+After waiting a little while he thought it unsafe to land, and determined
+to go to the town of Omoa, where he knew the government forces were in
+possession.
+
+He had travelled about four miles from Puerto Cortez when he sighted the
+_Lucy B._
+
+He decided to wait for her, and find out from her how matters stood in
+Puerto Cortez.
+
+Suddenly, when about half a mile away, the _Lucy B._ fired on the _Rover_.
+
+Captain Reed instantly ordered the engines to be stopped, and brought the
+vessel to a standstill; but before the sailors had time to carry out his
+orders, another shot was fired at him.
+
+Soon after the vessel was boarded by General Reyes, of the Nicaraguan
+government, and six of his followers.
+
+He examined the ship's papers, and though finding them in order, still had
+the ship searched from end to end, declaring that the _Rover_ was carrying
+arms and ammunition to the rebels in Puerto Cortez.
+
+When his search was over, and nothing had been found, Captain Reed
+vigorously protested against the treatment to which he had been subjected,
+and pointed to the American flag which was flying at the mast-head.
+
+General Reyes replied that he might protest all he pleased, but he ought
+to consider himself lucky that the _Lucy B._ had not sunk his vessel.
+
+The captain of the _Rover_ will enter a protest against the action of the
+Nicaraguans.
+
+We have spoken several times about the insignificant character of the
+revolutions in South America. We think it may interest our readers if we
+quote for them the statement on this subject, made by a gentleman who has
+been a good many years in Honduras, and who has large interests there.
+
+He says: "A revolution down there is really nothing but an election.
+
+"At election times the candidate for the Presidency who controls the guns
+wins the election. If the President doesn't suit after he is elected, some
+man gathers a force together, and a revolution follows.
+
+"As nobody pays much attention to an election, so nobody pays much
+attention to a revolution, except those most nearly interested in its
+success or failure.
+
+"The present President, Senor Bonilla, came into office after he had
+carried through a successful revolution against somebody else.
+
+"He is a clever man, and absolutely honest, but his standard is too high
+for Honduras."
+
+Richard Harding Davis has written a story called "Soldiers of Fortune,"
+which gives a very excellent account of one of these South American
+revolutions.

+
+The Massachusetts Assembly has made its annual appropriation for the
+destruction of the Gipsy moth.
+
+This is a moth whose larvae (as the caterpillars are called) do so much
+damage to foliage that the State has spent large sums of money in an
+attempt to destroy the troublesome pest. The matter has now been brought
+to the attention of Congress, and in the last Agricultural Appropriation
+Bill a special provision was made for a careful investigation of the
+matter.
+
+The caterpillar of the Gipsy moth strips the trees of their leaves as
+completely as if they had been swept by fire. Almost every variety of
+tree, as well as of farm or garden crop, is attacked by these worms, and
+the farmers in Eastern Massachusetts are terror-stricken over the army of
+them which yearly attacks their crops.
+
+The history of the introduction of the Gipsy moth into this country is a
+somewhat curious one.
+
+The moth is not a native of this country, but of Germany and Austria,
+where vast sums of money have also been spent by the governments in a vain
+endeavor to get rid of it.
+
+In 1869 a French naturalist came over to this country and settled in
+Medford, Mass.
+
+He had brought some Gipsy moth eggs with him from Europe, and intended
+making some experiments with them.
+
+He had the eggs out on his table one morning when he was called away from
+his work. He went out of the room, leaving the eggs lying near the window.
+
+When he returned he found that a puff of wind had blown the whole paper of
+eggs out of the window.
+
+He ran down into the garden and searched everywhere for the lost eggs, but
+in their flight through the air they had become scattered, and he was
+unable to find them.
+
+He well knew the dangerous character of the worm which hatches out of
+these eggs, and he went all round the village, explaining to every one,
+warning every one, and imploring every one to be on the look-out for the
+caterpillars when they should appear.
+
+The inhabitants of Medford thought he was a crazy Frenchman, and took no
+notice of his warning.
+
+It was twenty years after this before the people began to suffer from the
+ravages of the caterpillar, though for several years the neighbors of the
+old naturalist had been annoyed and puzzled at the way in which their
+gardens were eaten up.
+
+In 1889 the worms became so numerous, and did so much damage, that the
+Legislature set aside a sum of money for their destruction, and appointed
+a number of scientific men to undertake the work.
+
+Every spring since then the Gipsy Moth Commission has been at work.
+
+One summer, policemen were pressed into the service. They were stationed
+on all the roads leading out of the infected districts to examine every
+vehicle that drove through, to see that none of the caterpillars escaped
+into the surrounding country by clinging to the wheels or the body of the
+wagon.
+
+That year there were such myriads of these caterpillars, that they would
+fall by hundreds on the vehicles as they drove under the trees.
+
+The moth policemen were both necessary and useful.
+
+The Commission starts in, this year, with several new inventions for
+destroying both caterpillars and eggs, and hopes to make good progress.
+
+Thus far Massachusetts has spent nearly $1,000,000 in her effort to rid
+herself of the Gipsy moth.

+
+INVENTION AND DISCOVERY.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Summer trips will be more easy to arrange and pack for, if we have such
+space-saving inventions as the travelling or military hair-brush, as the
+inventor calls it. It is a handleless brush, the back forming a box deep
+enough to contain a comb, and provided with a sliding lid which pushes in
+or out like the lid of a child's pencil-box.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+This invention comes from the ever-inventive West, and consists of a
+penholder formed of tightly rolled paper which in some ingenious manner
+holds the pen permanently in place.
+
+At last we seem to have a mucilage brush that is going to answer every
+requirement.
+
+We have had them in plenty with the handles so arranged that the mucilage
+would not get on one's fingers, and so that the neck of the bottle would
+not get clogged. But so far every invention has fallen short in one very
+important particular. The brush has always been left in the mucilage,
+where it got hard and stiff and unusable for a time, or had to be lifted
+out and put in a fresh compartment, where it again dries and hardens.
+
+The new brush is so arranged that it does not touch the mucilage, but is
+held above it by a spring in the handle. When the gum is to be used, the
+top of the handle is pressed, and the brush is forced down into the bottle
+until it meets the liquid.
+
+The moment the finger is taken off the handle, the brush springs back into
+place; and when taken out of the bottle it is found to be furnished with a
+metal rim which prevents any of the liquid from touching the fingers.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+We have chronometers which can register time, and odometers which can
+register distance, but there has been the double weight to carry of the
+two instruments; and, while every effort is being made to reduce the
+weight of the bicycle as much as possible, every ounce or fraction of an
+ounce tells. Consequently all cyclists are indebted to the man whose happy
+thought it was to combine the two, and who had the skill to do it. An
+instrument can now be had which will at one and the same time register
+time and distance.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Something new which will surely find favor with bicycle riders is a
+simple coupling apparatus by means of which any two safety bicycles may be
+converted into a tandem. We see so many bicycle tandems in the parks and
+bicycle paths that riders will surely be glad to know that any two people
+can have a tandem at a moment's notice, and at the same time, if one
+person only wishes to ride, the machines can with equal speed be restored
+to their original condition.

+
+
+    DEAR EDITOR:
+
+    I read with the greatest pleasure THE GREAT ROUND WORLD, and
+    think, if I may express myself so, that it tells all that is
+    going on in a nutshell.
+
+    We subscribe for your little magazine in our class, and we all

+
+    I wish you would inform me the difference between the government
+    of Russia and that of Turkey.

+    NEW YORK, May 7th, 1897.
+
+
+DEAR ROBERTSON:
+
+Russia is an absolute monarchy, which means a government in which the will
+of the monarch is positive law.
+
+Turkey is a theocratic absolute monarchy, which means something stronger
+yet than an absolute monarchy. The Sultan of Turkey is considered the
+successor to the Prophet Mohammed, and therefore he is not only the
+political but also the religious head of his people.

+
+
+    DEAR EDITOR:
+
+    I read THE GREAT ROUND WORLD and think it fine. The following
+    are books I have read and found very interesting: "A Knight of
+    the White Cross," by Henty. "Boy Explorers," by Prentice. "Jack
+    Ballister's Fortunes," "Merry Adventures of Robin Hood," both
+    by Pyle. "Log-Cabin Series," by Edward S. Ellis. "Boris the Bear
+    Hunter," by Fred Whishaw.
+
+    Did the ten Chinamen who were invited to have their heads
+    chopped off, escape?
+
+    Wishing great success to THE GREAT ROUND WORLD,

+
+DEAR HOWARD:
+
+It is too soon to know about the Chinamen yet. They came from San
+Francisco to see the Chinese Minister in Washington. There was to be a
+change of Chinese Ministers in this country, and it was expected that Mr.
+Yang Yu, the gentleman who was leaving this country, would go back to
+Peking, and so the See Yups wanted to make him the bearer of their
+messages.
+
+Mr. Yang Yu has, however, been appointed to St. Petersburg, in Russia, and
+it is doubtful if he can be of much use to his countrymen, as he may not
+go to China for several years.
+
+It is to be supposed that the Chinamen under sentence of death will have
+the sense to remain in this country, where they are safe.     EDITOR.
+
+
+    DEAR EDITOR:
+
+    I like Cuba. Do you think Cuba is winning, or Spain? I hope Cuba
+    will win. I am six years old. I like THE GREAT ROUND WORLD.
+    Please put me in the paper. I think that monster you wrote about
+    was very nice, but I would not like him to catch me, and I like
+    the lazy man's stairs. Good-by.
+
+                                  Yours truly,
+                                            ROBERT D.F.
+    BALTIMORE, MD.
+
+
+    DEAR EDITOR:
+
+    I think THE GREAT ROUND WORLD is fine for young folks to read,
+    and even for grown-up people, too. I enjoy reading it very much.
+    I think there is no other little book that will do us so much
+    good as THE GREAT ROUND WORLD.
+
+    I hope the United States will make Spain pay for the cruelty
+    that was done to Dr. Ruiz by them. It looks as if Cuba will win
+    her freedom from Spain, and I hope she will. I remain,
+
+                                       Yours truly,
+                                                HENRY H.
+    GLOUCESTER, MASS., April 14th, 1897.
+
+
+    DEAR EDITOR:
+
+    I like THE GREAT ROUND WORLD very much. I anxiously wait for it
+    to come. I hope Cuba and Spain and all countries will soon be
+    free from war. Do you think that Greece can keep its little
+    island Crete? I was very much interested in the story about the
+    St. Bernard.
+
+                                    Yours truly,
+                                             EDITH MCK.
+    GLOUCHESTER, MASS., April 14th, 1897.
+
+
+The Editor takes much pleasure in acknowledging the very nice letters from
+Robert D.F., Henry H., and Edith McK. They are all nice, well-written
+letters, which the Editor is very pleased to receive.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The Editor would be much pleased if Ph.D. (McCoy Hall, Baltimore, Md.)
+would explain his views on the Bering Sea Arbitration Award.
+
+The columns of THE GREAT ROUND WORLD are always open to arguments on both
+sides of a question.
+
+If Ph.D. will favor us with a few lines on the subject we shall be
+delighted to publish them.
+
+                                                      EDITOR.

+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no
+one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation
+(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
+permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark.  Project
+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do

+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+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
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+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.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+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
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact

+
+
+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.
