+WORLD
+AND WHAT IS GOING ON IN IT.]
+
+ VOL. 1 MAY 20, 1897. NO. 28
+
+
+On Saturday, May 1st, the Tennessee Centennial Exposition was formally
+opened.
+
+The object of this Exposition is to celebrate the anniversary of the
+admission of the State of Tennessee into the Union, one hundred years ago.
+
+Tennessee is the first State thus to celebrate its centennial.
+
+The ceremonies at the opening of the Exposition were very simple; they
+had, however, one interesting feature.
+
+After the Governor of the State and other important persons had spoken,
+Mr. Thomas, the President of the Exposition company, came forward and
+dictated the following telegram:
+
+"To the President of the United States of America, Washington, D.C.
+
+"The people of the State of Tennessee send greetings, and request that you
+now put in motion the machinery of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition."
+
+There was a pause after the message was flashed over the wire. The people
+waited breathlessly, and then, amidst tremendous applause, the machinery
+began to move. President McKinley had received the message and answered
+it.
+
+To make this great feat possible, wires had been laid, connecting the
+Exposition with Washington; and they had been so arranged that the
+pressure of the President's finger on an electric button would start the
+current and put the machinery in motion.
+
+Like the World's Fair, the Tennessee Exposition was not quite completed
+when opened; but it appears to be a great success from an artistic
+standpoint.
+
+The various buildings are modelled after the most celebrated specimens of
+Greek and Roman architecture. The grounds are beautifully laid out, and
+the spot selected for the Fair abounds in natural beauties which the
+gardeners have used to the very best advantage.
+
+One of the wonders of the Fair is the great see-saw.
+
+This is described as being an iron tower seventy-five feet high, across
+which a great beam of iron is balanced. To each end of this a large car is
+attached; and the beam see-saws, lifting the cars up and down. When one
+car is on the ground, the other is lifted ever so high up in the air.
+
+Each car is made to hold fifty people.
+
+The see-saw is not allowed to move quickly, for fear of frightening
+people, but is arranged so that it lifts the cars very slowly into the
+air, gives the passengers a good opportunity to look at the magnificent
+view of the surrounding country, and then carries them gently down to the
+ground again, with a motion so slight that it can hardly be felt.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+The Leeward Isles have just been visited by a series of earthquakes,
+which have been felt throughout the entire chain of islands.
+
+The Leeward Islands are a part of the group of islands which form the West
+Indies. They are in the Caribbean Sea, and lie to the southeast of Cuba.
+
+The first shocks were felt on April 22d, and continued throughout the
+entire week. The most severe quakings were felt three days later, when
+great damage was done.
+
+The people of Antigua were so badly frightened that all business was
+brought to a standstill. Special services were held in the churches; and
+when the shocks had passed over, a thanksgiving was offered to the
+Almighty.
+
+So great was the terror throughout the islands that the people deserted
+the land, and went to sea in small boats. But even the sea was unfriendly
+to them, for the earthquake was accompanied by a tidal wave, which wrecked
+many of the small craft. The seas rose to a great height, and swept over
+the land, doing much damage.
+
+Hundreds of people are supposed to have been killed during this
+catastrophe, but the full extent of the damage is not yet known.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+Hawaiian affairs are occupying a good deal of attention at this time.
+
+In No. 26 of THE GREAT ROUND WORLD, we spoke of the invasion by Japanese
+immigrants, and how the government of the Sandwich Islands sent the last
+few shiploads back to their own country.
+
+The Japanese are extremely indignant at this action on the part of
+Hawaii.
+
+The newspapers in Japan are calling upon the government to send war-ships
+to teach the Hawaiians that Japan insists upon fair treatment for her
+citizens.
+
+In Japan, there is some talk of sending the emigrants back to Hawaii, with
+a demand that they be permitted to land. It is suggested that the Japanese
+Minister in Honolulu shall demand money damages from the Hawaiian
+government if these emigrants are refused the right of entry.
+
+The Japanese think that the action of the Hawaiian government was
+suggested by the United States, and that it is only the first step to the
+annexation of these islands by us.
+
+Japan declares herself opposed to such a union, and will do her best to
+prevent it.
+
+The Japanese in the islands have become very bold and defiant.
+
+They have been holding mass-meetings, and denouncing the action of the
+government in very strong terms.
+
+It would seem that the Hawaiian government had acted none too soon in the
+Japanese immigration question, for, were the Japanese stronger in numbers,
+the indications are that they would try and take possession of the
+Sandwich Islands for themselves.
+
+The cruiser _Philadelphia_ has arrived in Honolulu. She has been sent to
+this post to protect our citizens in the islands, in case of trouble with
+Japan.
+
+The _Marion_ is also stationed at Hawaii, and the Secretary of State
+considers the situation so serious that he will keep two of our
+war-vessels on duty there, until all fear of disturbance is passed.
+
+The people of Hawaii, as we have already told you, are most anxious to be
+annexed to the United States; and it appears as if President McKinley were
+willing to consider the proposal, though he has said nothing publicly to
+that effect.
+
+It is, however, fully understood that he will take no steps whatever until
+after the Tariff Bill has been disposed of.
+
+In Hawaii, they seem to be expecting that each incoming steamer will bring
+a Minister from the United States, who will be authorized to conclude the
+annexation treaty.
+
+A story is told that an officer of the Hawaiian National Guard wished to
+resign his commission. The President of the Hawaiian Islands, Mr. Dole,
+hearing of it, urged him to remain.
+
+The officer said he had seen enough service, and would prefer to retire
+and make way for a younger man.
+
+The President is said to have answered him:
+
+"I shall consider it a personal favor if you will remain until after the
+annexation."
+
+"How long will that be?" asked the officer.
+
+"It is very close at hand," was the President's reply.
+
+This looks as if we would have great news from the Sandwich Islands ere
+long.
+
+This probability of annexation explains the reason why Queen Liliuokalani,
+the Queen of the Sandwich Islands, has been in Washington this winter.
+
+You remember that we told you how President Cleveland tried to restore to
+her her lost throne, and that he failed to do so.
+
+When the Queen arrived in Washington this season it was at once supposed
+that she had come for some purpose; and either intended to make friends
+with the incoming President, or to persuade Mr. Cleveland to make one more
+effort to help her before he went out of office.
+
+Her suite and advisers kept their counsel so closely, that no one could
+find out the true reason for her visit. A few days ago, however, her
+secretary stated that the Queen considered that the republican form of
+government in the Islands could not last much longer.
+
+She said that it had been hurriedly established when she gave up her
+throne, and that the people are tired of it.
+
+She declares further that it is this knowledge that is making President
+Dole so very anxious for annexation.
+
+She thinks that if the United States was made aware of the way in which
+she was deprived of her throne, and also of the manner in which the Dole
+government was established, there would be no further talk of annexation,
+but that our government would help her to regain her throne.
+
+Queen Liliuokalani is apparently in this country so that when the subject
+of annexation comes up she may be on hand, and have an opportunity to
+state her case to the Government.
+
+Much interesting news about Hawaii has been brought out by these recent
+events.
+
+Col. R.H. McLean, who has just returned from the Sandwich Islands, where
+he has been reorganizing the Hawaiian army, gives a very amusing account
+of the state of things he found there.
+
+He went to Honolulu in 1895, just after the insurrection to restore Queen
+Liliuokalani was over.
+
+On his arrival at the palace he found it fortified as if for a siege; the
+grounds were bristling with big guns, which were all loaded, and ready for
+instant firing.
+
+Eighteen sentries were on duty, and 200 men were sleeping on their arms in
+the basement of the building, while 100 more were ready to rush into
+action at a moment's notice.
+
+A thorough soldier himself, and accustomed to see such preparations only
+in time of war, Colonel McLean asked what was the matter.
+
+He expected to hear that there was a new revolt; but he was merely told
+that the Queen was a prisoner inside the palace, and that unless these
+precautions were taken, another rebellion might break out at any moment.
+
+He had been previously told that the citizens were in a state of panic,
+and that the natives were sullen and discontented. He thought there might
+be some grounds for the fear of a revolt, and decided that he had better
+examine his defences.
+
+Walking round among the guns, he noticed that they were pointed at various
+groups of houses. He asked what these buildings were that lay in the line
+of fire.
+
+"Just houses," he was told. "Residences."
+
+"Do rebels or suspected rebels live in them?" he asked.
+
+"Why, no," he was told. "Citizens."
+
+The Colonel was so astonished at this that he did not know what to say.
+
+He didn't wonder that the people were dissatisfied and frightened.
+
+For months they had lived with the knowledge that the big guns were
+trained upon them, and that at any moment a careless or frightened soldier
+might pull the lanyard, fire a cannon off, and blow half Honolulu to
+smithereens.
+
+He did not say much, but felt that he would have to make many changes in
+affairs, and went to bed to think things over.
+
+He was awakened in the middle of the night by cries of:
+
+"Hi! hi! hi! there! Say! It's half-past two."
+
+It took him some time to realize that this was the soldierly manner in
+which the Hawaiian army changed the guard, and when the truth finally
+dawned upon him, he laughed himself to sleep over the comic army he was
+called upon to reorganize and train.
+
+The next day, to the horror of the people in the palace, he removed the
+guns, and reduced the number of sentries to four.
+
+There was a terrible outcry against this order. Those in the palace
+declared their lives were no longer safe. The first night after guns and
+sentries were taken away, they passed a night of terror, no one apparently
+expecting to live to see the morning.
+
+When, however, morning came, and they were all alive, they calmed down a
+little.
+
+So did the townspeople, when the guns were taken away.
+
+When the Colonel made arrangements whereby the imprisoned Queen could get
+a little fresh air daily, and no terrible consequences followed, he became
+the most popular person in Honolulu.
+
+The government decided that Colonel McLean was a wonder for quieting the
+citizens. The citizens were grateful to him for having had sense enough to
+remove the guns; the supporters of the Queen liked him for making matters
+more comfortable for her; and the army found that he knew what he was
+about, and trusted him accordingly.
+
+Colonel McLean has had three years of very hard work getting the soldiers
+into order, but has left the army in a very different condition from that
+in which he found it.
+

+
+The State Department has sent to Mr. Uhl, the United States Ambassador to
+Germany, directing him to make a demand on the German Government for the
+release of an American citizen named Mayer, who has been wrongfully forced
+to serve in the German army.
+
+This matter is of interest to us, because it shows us our rights as
+citizens.
+
+The father of this Mayer was a German citizen who came to this country,
+lived here for a good number of years, and returned to his native land
+when his son was between eleven and twelve years old.
+
+The elder Mayer never took out his naturalization papers, and therefore
+remained a citizen of Germany.
+
+The younger Mayer was nevertheless an American citizen because he was born
+here, and this is the point that interests us.
+
+According to our law, all persons who are born within the boundaries of
+the United States are American citizens. The nationality of the parents
+makes no difference whatever, nor does it signify whether the father was a
+citizen or not. The mere fact of being born in this country is sufficient
+to make a man an American citizen. The United States claims him, and
+protects him if he needs protection.
+
+When young Mayer's parents went hack to Germany they educated their boy in
+German schools, and he grew up as a German boy.
+
+When he came to be twenty-one years of age he was ordered to serve his
+time in the German army. He refused to do this, on the ground that he was
+an American citizen.
+
+He was nevertheless claimed by the authorities and forced to join the
+army.
+
+In Germany there is a law, that every young man who reaches the age of
+twenty-one must go into the army and serve as a soldier for two years.
+
+The very day the young Germans come of age they are bound to offer
+themselves for military service.
+
+In many of the towns, advertisements are put in the newspapers giving the
+names of the lads who are nearing the age of twenty-one, and telling them
+where to report for duty.
+
+In other places the military authorities send each young man an order to
+report for duty on the morning of his birthday.
+
+There is no avoiding this service, which was formerly for three years, but
+has been changed to two.
+
+The young men who do not answer the call are searched for, and, when
+found, slightly punished.
+
+Lads who are in foreign countries are ordered home. If they do not report
+for military service within a certain space of time, they are punished
+with an extra year of service.
+
+When young Mayer was forced to join the German army, he appealed to the
+American Government to help him.
+
+When the matter was brought to their attention, the German authorities
+denied the right of the United States to interfere, saying that Mayer was
+the son of a German subject, and therefore was a German citizen.
+
+This Government has, however, made a formal demand for the release of
+Mayer, and there is little doubt that the request will be complied with.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+The trouble is not yet over for the trusts. You remember about the
+Investigating Committee appointed to look into the affairs of the
+different trusts. The members of this committee had a good deal of trouble
+with the Sugar Trust.
+
+Seven of the most important persons connected with the trust refused to
+answer the questions asked them by the committee.
+
+Among these men were such prominent persons as Henry O. Havemeyer and John
+E. Searles, men who are known as Sugar Kings.
+
+The impossibility of getting any information from these witnesses made the
+work of the committee very difficult; and when the investigations were
+over, complaints were made against the men who had given the trouble.
+
+One of them, Mr. E.E. Chapman, a stock-broker, was arrested by the United
+States Marshal, taken to Washington, and tried for contempt.
+
+His offence was that of breaking the law which binds witnesses to give
+their testimony before Committees of Congress with the same care that they
+have to exercise before the judges in the courts of law. A witness in a
+law court who refuses to obey the court is guilty of contempt of court,
+and can be fined or imprisoned as the court pleases.
+
+Mr. Chapman was found guilty of this misdemeanor, and sentenced to thirty
+days' imprisonment.
+
+Having disposed of Mr. Chapman's case, the United States District Attorney
+has sent word that he intends to try the other six refractory witnesses on
+May 17th. From the printed accounts at the time of the investigation, they
+all seem to have given as much trouble as they possibly could, and as Mr.
+Chapman has been found guilty, the chances are that the others will be
+also, and that the jail of the District of Columbia may contain some
+distinguished millionaires before the month is out.
+
+If we are to have Investigation Committees, it is just as well that people
+should learn they are not to be trifled with.

+
+New York has just had a visit from Chief Joseph of the Nez Percés Indians.
+
+Next to the old Sioux warrior, Red Cloud, Chief Joseph is the most
+prominent Indian alive to-day.
+
+He came to New York at the special request of General Miles, and seemed to
+be much interested in seeing the sights.
+
+His real business East was in Washington.
+
+He came on from the Indian Reservation in Washington Territory, where he
+lives with 150 of his tribe, to ask permission to join the main body of
+the Nez Percés in Idaho.
+
+There are 1,000 of the Nez Percés in Idaho, and it is the dearest wish of
+the old chief's heart that he, and the remnant of the tribe that is with
+him, may be allowed to go back and end their days in their old homes.
+
+General Miles secured permission for Chief Joseph to come on to Washington
+and tell the Government the wishes of his people. He obtained an interview
+for him with Mr. Bliss, Secretary of the Interior, and also with the
+Indian Commissioner.
+
+The old chief feels sure that his request will be granted, because, as he
+proudly says, he has come on himself to make it.
+
+While he was in New York he went to see Buffalo Bill, William Cody, who,
+as you probably know, was one of the most famous scouts the army ever had,
+and who has done noble service for his country.
+
+The chief saw the Wild West Show from Colonel Cody's box, and after it was
+over went to the Indian quarters, and smoked the pipe of peace with the
+Sioux Indians who travel with Buffalo Bill.
+
+The Sioux have a great admiration for the Nez Percés, and their surprise
+and pleasure at seeing the chief was unbounded.
+
+The language of the two tribes is very different, but the Indians have a
+sign language which they all understand, and Chief Joseph and his hosts
+sat on the mats outside the tepee, and had a long session together,
+communicating by means of signs.
+
+The chief rode in the Grant parade, taking his place beside Colonel Cody.

+
+King Humbert of Italy had a narrow escape the other day.
+
+He was driving, when a man made a rush at the royal carriage, sprang on
+the step, and tried to stab the King.
+
+His Majesty happily saw the blow coming, and, rising, struck the man's
+wrist. The dagger turned, and buried itself in the cushions of the
+carriage.
+
+There was great confusion for a moment. The crowds which lined the streets
+rushed forward to the royal carriage; but the King's escort charged them,
+and drove them back.
+
+The King was very little alarmed, and ordered his coachman to drive on.
+
+The would-be assassin was caught by the soldiers, and proved to be a
+blacksmith, who is thought to be insane.
+
+The news of the affair reached the palace before the King. When he reached
+there he was greeted with shouts of welcome, and had to bow again and
+again to show the people that he was safe and sound.
+
+He appears to have treated the matter very lightly, and is reported to
+have said to those who congratulated him on his escape:
+
+"Oh, it was only one of the little accidents which happen to people of my
+profession."
+
+There was the greatest excitement throughout the city of Rome.
+
+A large number of workingmen made their way to the palace, and asked to be
+permitted to congratulate their sovereign.
+
+Special thanksgiving services were held in the churches, and the entire
+city gave itself up to rejoicing.
+
+The excitement and enthusiasm must have been very great.
+
+Crowds stood around the royal palace, and both King and Queen were obliged
+to come out on the balcony to bow to the people, who cheered frantically,
+and then joined in singing the royal hymn.
+
+A friend of ours witnessed just such a scene as this in England many years
+ago.
+
+It was just after Queen Victoria had come to the throne.
+
+One day, when she was out driving, a crazy man tried to shoot her.
+
+The people of London were so excited about the matter that they could not
+be made to believe that the Queen had escaped unhurt.
+
+After her Majesty had bowed from her balcony and shown herself smiling and
+unhurt, there was still a rumor that she had been wounded; and, fearing
+some demonstration from the people, the young Queen's advisers thought it
+best for her to appear in some public place and convince the people of her
+safety.
+
+It was during the opera season, and it was decided that her Majesty should
+occupy her box there for a part of the performance.
+
+The house was very crowded; and the opera was half over when Victoria
+reached her box.
+
+The great singer, Jenny Lind, was singing at the moment of her arrival,
+and so entranced was the audience with the song, that it did not become
+aware of her presence, until the singer broke off, silenced the orchestra
+with a gesture, and walking to the front of the stage, made a low curtsey
+to the Queen's box, and then lifting up her glorious voice, began to sing
+the national anthem, "God Save the Queen."
+
+The effect was electrical.
+
+The orchestra took up the strain with her. The chorus rushed on to the
+stage to join their voices to the hymn. The audience started to its feet,
+women waved their handkerchiefs and wept with excitement; men shouted and
+joined their voices to swell the great chorus.
+
+The poor young Queen, whose courage had been tried enough during the day,
+stood in the front of her box, bowing and smiling, until at last the scene
+became more than she could bear; then she burst into tears, and had to
+leave the opera-house.

+The Dingley Tariff Bill was reported to the Senate on Tuesday, May 4th.
+
+A great many changes have been made in it by the committee; and a great
+many more are expected to be made before it passes through the Senate.
+
+Germany is still declaring that, if the Dingley Bill is passed, she will
+make such a tariff on American goods that our export trade with Germany
+will be killed.
+
+One of our consuls, however, writes us that there is a very small market
+for American goods in Germany, and that our trade will not be very greatly
+damaged if she does carry out her threat.
+
+It seems, from the accounts given, that Germany buys very little from us
+besides the raw material which she cannot get elsewhere; and so, if she
+does make a tariff against our goods, it may not make much difference to
+us.

+
+Word comes from India that the plague is gradually dying out, and it is
+hoped that the worst is over.
+
+The authorities will continue their care in quarantining people from
+infected districts, and fumigating all the baggage, but the fear that the
+plague may reach Europe has pretty well died out.

+
+They make a great deal of use of elephants in India.
+
+You know, of course, that India belongs to England.
+
+The title of Queen Victoria is Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and
+Empress of India.
+
+England is obliged to keep a great many soldiers in India, and the
+elephant has gradually become one of the most important factors in the
+Indian army.
+
+When the British first occupied India, the soldiers used the elephants to
+work on fortifications, to haul timber, and to do any work that required
+great strength.
+
+After a while, as they began to understand the creatures better, the army
+officers gave them more important tasks, until at last an elephant
+artillery corps was formed.
+
+It is said of the animals in this company that they know as well what to
+do as the best artillerymen, and will bring their guns in line with the
+precision of old soldiers.
+
+Their duty is to drag the heavy batteries and the guns of the siege-train,
+which are extremely large and exceedingly heavy.
+
+The elephants draw them as if they weighed nothing, and march along,
+keeping steady pace with the soldiers.
+
+These big beasts trample down and demolish any barriers that are in their
+way, and pull their loads through heavy mire without the slightest effort.
+
+Before the plan of using elephants was adopted, the guns were drawn by
+bullocks; but one elephant can easily draw a load which it would take
+thirty bullocks to move. The elephants are very tractable and clever,
+while the oxen are stupid, ill tempered, and hard to manage.
+
+The elephants, despite their great strength, will not allow themselves to
+be overloaded.
+
+If they are worked too hard, or made to draw heavier weights than is
+pleasant to them, they become sulky and will not obey orders. Their
+drivers, therefore, have to treat them very kindly; and then they will do
+all that is asked of them.
+
+As soon as they have learned the work that is required of them, they will
+do it at the word of command.
+
+The British soldiers do not attempt to manage these big beasts themselves.
+Natives are employed for this task, each elephant having his own special
+attendant.
+
+These Mahouts, as they are called, feed and care for the elephants, who
+become very much attached to them, and pine terribly if their keepers are
+changed.

+It is reported that Mr. Henry Havemeyer is trying to build an American
+Venice in the Great South Bay.
+
+Two years ago he purchased a large tract of marshy land, which he has
+drained, filled in, and which is now ready to be built on.
+
+He will construct some handsome villas, facing a grand canal, and
+separated from one another and also from the mainland by various other
+water-ways.
+
+Mr. Havemeyer's charming idea is not entirely original, however. His
+Venice already has a very lovely rival in the West.
+
+A charming little village has been built on sandbanks formed by the delta
+of the St. Clair River, which delta reaches put into Lake St. Clair, about
+thirty miles from Detroit, Mich.
+
+The houses of this village are all built upon piles, some rising clear out
+of the lake, some having small yards around them.
+
+A few trees and such flowers as will grow are carefully cultivated by the
+inhabitants, and add to the charm of the place.
+
+The only means of communication is by boat.
+
+Steamers go down from Detroit at short intervals, many of the business men
+in that city having their summer homes in this Western Venice.

+Spain is going to try to raise more money to carry on the war in Cuba and
+the Philippine Islands. The Queen Regent has authorized the raising of
+about $40,000,000 for this purpose, and the Bank of Spain is to undertake
+the task. The loan is to be secured by the customs duties of Spain.

+
+After more than three months of consideration, the General Treaty of
+Arbitration with Great Britain was rejected by the Senate on Wednesday,
+May 5th.
+
+From the moment the Treaty was first proposed it met with great opposition
+in the Legislature, and many people predicted that the Senate would never
+ratify it.
+
+The feeling of the public was, however, so strongly in favor of the
+Treaty, that it was thought it would surely be ratified after certain
+objectionable clauses were changed.
+
+The Committee on Foreign Relations took the Treaty in hand to make these
+alterations; and when it was reported back to the Senate, people hoped
+that it was in a form that would be found acceptable.
+
+This has not proved to be the case.
+
+The Constitution of the United States requires a two-thirds vote for the
+ratification of a treaty, which of course you understand means that
+two-thirds of the Senators present must vote for it, or it is lost.
+
+On Wednesday, the 5th, there were sixty-nine present when the vote was
+called. Forty-three voted for ratification, twenty-six against it.
+
+You will see by this that the Treaty was defeated by only three votes.
+
+When this Treaty was signed at Washington in January, everybody rejoiced.
+The United States was praised by all Europe for being the first nation to
+take such an important step in the advancement of peace.
+
+The leading papers declare that, in spite of the rejection of the Treaty
+by the Senate, the American people are still in favor of it; and that, had
+the matter been given to the people to decide, the result would have been
+different.

+
+The war in the East is practically over.
+
+Report says the Greeks have appealed to Europe for help, and are now
+willing to withdraw from Crete.
+
+It was felt from the first that the struggle between Greece and Turkey
+would be an unequal one, but the well-known courage of the Greeks, and
+the righteousness of their cause, made people hope that success would
+crown their efforts.
+
+Such has not been the case.
+
+Disaster has followed disaster. At the critical moment the Greeks always
+appear to have lost faith in their leaders, and to have behaved in a
+disorderly and insubordinate manner.
+
+The retreat from Epirus seems to have been very little better than the
+flight from Larissa.
+
+From Pharsala, after their fine and determined stand at Velestino, the
+Greeks again retreated to Dhomoko.
+
+Whether it be from fatigue, want of military training, or lack of proper
+leaders, the Greeks seem to have been unable to withstand the advances of
+the enemy.
+
+At the time of writing, it is too soon to say what action the Powers will
+take in the settlement of Greek affairs. It is only certain that the
+situation in Europe has been made very much more difficult by the apparent
+sympathy of the Powers with Turkey.
+
+The success of the Turks will certainly make them more difficult to
+handle.
+
+There is a rumor that some of the Powers would like to remove King George
+from the throne of Greece.
+
+An alliance is also spoken of between Russia, Germany, and Austria against
+England and France.
+
+It would certainly seem as if the troubles in Greece had stirred up so
+much bad feeling that another and much more serious European war must soon
+follow.
+
+As for poor little Greece, if she has been obliged to appeal to the Powers
+for help, she will have to be content with whatever terms they make for
+her.
+
+It is said that Turkey will not be satisfied unless she gets Thessaly back
+again, and the boundaries of Turkey are made the same as they were before
+the Treaty of Berlin.
+
+Some people think that Turkey will not demand the return of Thessaly, but
+that she will insist that Greece shall pay all the expenses of the war.
+
+It is said that Russia and Germany will support Turkey in her claims.

+
+
+INVENTION AND DISCOVERY.
+
+
+Some clever person has thought of a very novel advertising scheme.
+
+It is for use at night, and consists of a sign made entirely of small
+electric lights, which is sent up into the air and held there by means of
+balloons.
+
+Advertisers have used the pavements under our feet for their signs, and
+have disfigured some of our grandest rocks with their Sapolios and their
+St. Jacob's Oils; pretty nearly everything on the face of the earth has
+been made to serve their purpose. The heavens have thus far escaped, but
+this new invention brings them also into line.
+
+[Illustration: NONPAREIL]
+
+If it proves a success the glaring announcements of the bill-boards, which
+annoy us by day, may be repeated in the sky at night; and the romantic,
+peaceful heavens will be dotted all over with "H.O. is the Best;" and the
+obnoxious "Yellow Kid," with a hideous electric toe, will parade among the
+stars undaunted and unchecked.
+
+This fruit-cutter seems to be a very clever invention.
+
+As you can see from the sketch, it opens like a pair of scissors. Its
+blades are very sharp, and as it cuts the fruit, the blades pierce right
+through the flesh until they meet the pit in the center. The curves in the
+blade catch the stone and hold it fast, while the points and heels of the
+blades overlap until they have cut entirely through the flesh.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+This invention should save a vast amount of time, and be a boon to the
+good housekeepers who put up preserves, not to mention the young folks of
+the household who are called in to help.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+This sketch shows a folding crate for transporting or housing bicycles.
+
+It is a very ingenious affair, folding tightly up when not in use, and
+taking up very little more room than an umbrella.
+
+Opened, it looks like an ordinary crate--only made of iron instead of
+wood.
+
+It has a baseboard to which hinges are attached, and if desired it can
+stand against the wall to hold the bicycle when not in use.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+For packing and transporting it is joined by straps, and would seem to be
+a very useful invention.

+
+LETTERS FROM OUR YOUNG FRIENDS.
+
+
+ DEAR EDITOR:
+
+ I am a subscriber to THE GREAT ROUND WORLD, and read it with
+ great interest every week. In No. 13 of THE GREAT ROUND WORLD,
+ you published a picture of the iron statue of King Arthur by
+ Fischer. Last summer we stopped for a short time in Innsbruck,
+ and I saw the said statue in the Cathedral of that city.
+
+ There was one thing which puzzled me considerably and I know
+ that you will be willing to explain it. Why was the fleur-de-lis
+ placed on the shield supplied to the statue? I can't see what
+ possible connection Arthur could have had with France, for I
+ always thought that the fleur-de-lis was not borne by any
+ British sovereign until after the hundred years' war was begun.
+ Since King Arthur is supposed to have lived in the fifth or
+ sixth century it seems strange to me that he should have been
+ supplied with a shield bearing a device of a so much later
+ period. Since I know nothing of heraldry, I have been much
+ puzzled by this, and would be very grateful for an explanation.
+ I should like to mention three books which I enjoyed so much
+ when I read them that I am sure they would be appreciated by
+ many. They are Miss Yonge's "Dove in the Eagle's Nest," and a
+ "Chaplet of Pearls," and the "Caged Lion."
+
+ Wishing THE GREAT ROUND WORLD continued success,
+
+ I remain your devoted reader,
+ KATHERINE P.
+ NEW YORK CITY, May 26, 1897.
+
+
+MY DEAR KATHERINE:
+
+In reference to your question about the fleur-de-lis on King Arthur's
+shield.
+
+It can have no heraldic meaning whatever, because armorial bearings were
+not in use in England until long after the Norman Conquest.
+
+The kings and the great barons chose certain devices for their seals; but
+the same device was not used by the members of a family, nor was it handed
+from father to son, until armorial bearings came into use.
+
+The use of the fleur-de-lis is not of French origin.
+
+It was used as an ornament on the sceptres, seals, and robes, not only of
+the French kings, but of Greek, Roman, German, Spanish, and English kings,
+and was a symbol employed by many noble families in various parts of
+Europe.
+
+Particular symbols have in all ages been assumed by various families of
+mankind, civilized and uncivilized, but they have nothing whatever to do
+with heraldry.
+
+King Arthur was a legendary person, and his story is sung alike by the
+bards of Wales and the minstrels of France.
+
+According to the Welsh legends he was born in Wales, and went over to
+Brittany in France, where he fought some of his famous battles.
+
+According to the Breton (French) legends, he was the son of one of the
+early Britons who fled to France at the time of the Saxons. He was born in
+Brittany, and with the help of the Bretons went back to England and
+wrested his kingdom from the Saxon's hands.
+
+The reason for the fleur-de-lis on the shield may therefore be that the
+sculptor chose to pin his faith to the Breton legend of the hero, and
+therefore placed the symbol of France on the shield. EDITOR.
+
+
+The State of Montana has just adopted THE GREAT ROUND WORLD for use in all
+its public schools.
+
+
+ DEAR MR. EDITOR:
+
+ I am very much interested about Crete and Cuba, and I always
+ want to see what THE GREAT ROUND WORLD says about them.
+
+ I was interested about Princess Charlotte of Belgium. I hope you
+ will tell us more about her.
+
+ I hope that Cuba will gain her liberty, and that Crete will free
+ herself from the rule of Turkey.
+
+ I think that King George of Greece is a very nice man, and I
+ hope that he will keep the Powers from interfering with Greece.
+
+ The kindergarten for the blind is in Jamaica Plain, very near
+ us, and last week I went to an exhibition there.
+
+ Sometimes I visit the kindergarten, and I have often seen the
+ girls knitting and sewing.
+
+ Our teacher, Miss Cushman, takes THE GREAT ROUND WORLD. She
+ lends it to the girls who do not take it, and they find out
+ about Crete and Greece. We are studying about the Eastern
+ Question, and your magazine helps us to find what we want. Do
+ you know any more about the big python that was found in
+ Florida, or was it just taken to the Smithsonian Institute?
+
+ Will you please send me a "Who? When? What?" Chart?
+
+
+ Your devoted reader,
+ FANNY R.H. (aged 12.)
+ BROOKLINE, MASS.., April 28th, 1897.
+
+
+DEAR FANNY:
+
+Many thanks for your kind letter. We have heard nothing further about the
+python. We understood that it was to be stuffed for the Institute.
+
+ EDITOR.
+
+ DEAR EDITOR:
+
+ Will you please publish an account of the phonographic
+ graphophone--its invention, when, and by whom? We have recently
+ had a concert by this wonderful invention, and I am requested
+ to get all the information I can from whatever source I can. THE
+ GREAT ROUND WORLD, which is read every morning in our
+ schoolroom, is so much appreciated by all that I am sure my
+ schoolmates will be pleased to see your reply. I shall be glad
+ to get this information as early as possible.
+
+ Very respectfully,
+ LUCY F.
+ BRENT, GA., April 28th, 1897.
+
+
+MY DEAR LUCY:
+
+The graphophone is an improved phonograph, the cylinder being of hard
+rubber instead of wax.
+
+The phonograph was invented by Thomas A. Edison in 1877, and improved by
+him about 1889.
+
+It operates by means of a thin diaphragm set in vibration by the voice or
+any other sound. It bears a stylus which records the vibration, on a
+rotating, wax-coated cylinder, in a faint wavy line.
+
+This line is sufficient, however, to guide the stylus over the same course
+again, and agitate the diaphragm into reproducing waves of sound, similar
+to those originally recorded.
+
+
+The Editor is very much obliged to Dallas S. for his pleasant letter.
+ EDITOR.
+
+
+
+In reply to Mrs. C.H. Parkhurst, we suggest that a letter of inquiry to
+Mr. Ford will be the speediest way to ascertain where the combination tool
+can be procured. EDITOR.

+
+ =GREAT ROUND WORLD GAME OF STATES=
+ COPYRIGHT, 1897
+ By William Beverley Harison
+
+_Complete in handsome box, price 50 cents, post-paid_
+
+ A new and delightful game has just been invented. It is called
+ "The game of States." The directions have been written
+ exclusively for THE GREAT ROUND WORLD; they are as follows:
+
+
+_DIRECTIONS_
+
+This game may be played by four, six, or eight players. Two players toss
+up for the first choice of partners; the winner also has the right for his
+side to be "call" or to "reply."
+
+After sides are chosen the winner of the toss consults with his side, and
+they decide whether they will "call" or "reply." "Call" is considered the
+better position.
+
+The game is played with a map of the United States made of perfectly plain
+pasteboard with each State a separate piece, and without names or marks of
+any kind on the pieces.
+
+This map should be large enough to have Rhode Island about one inch long,
+and the game should be played around a table with the sides named North,
+South, East, and West.
+
+The side which "calls" takes all of the States in a box. When "time" is
+called by the "reply" side, the "calls" must put a State on the table, and
+the "replys" must name it and give the position it occupies before the
+time-keeper of the "calls" can count 25; if the name or position is not
+correctly given, the "calls" must themselves name the State and its
+position, and place it on the table in about the position it will occupy
+when all the pieces are in place; if they do this, they score.
+
+For instance: The State of Massachusetts is put out, and the "replys" name
+it "Massachusetts--Northeastern part," and count one. This is continued
+until the entire map is complete.
+
+As maps may be obtained which have the Great Lakes also cut out, it is
+great fun to see the mistakes made.
+
+The "calls" or "replys" will frequently in playing it turn a state upside
+down; this counts against the side making the mistake.
+
+The game may be varied by putting one State on the table and calling for
+"next North," "next South," "next East," etc., when the name of the State
+occupying that position must be correctly given.
+
+The side having the greatest number of points wins the game.

+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

+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.
