The people +waited breathlessly, and <a name="Page_786" id="Page_786"></a>then, amidst tremendous applause, the machinery +began to move. President McKinley had received the message and answered +it.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>One of the wonders of the Fair is the great see-saw.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>Each car is made to hold fifty people.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>The Leeward Isles have just been visited by a series <a name="Page_787" id="Page_787"></a>of earthquakes, +which have been felt throughout the entire chain of islands.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>Hundreds of people are supposed to have been killed during this +catastrophe, but the full extent of the damage is not yet known.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>Hawaiian affairs are occupying a good deal of attention at this time.</p> + +<p>In No. 26 of <span class='smcap'>The Great Round World</span>, 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.</p> + +<p>The Japanese are extremely indignant at this action on the part of +Hawaii.<a name="Page_788" id="Page_788"></a></p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>Japan declares herself opposed to such a union, and will do her best to +prevent it.</p> + +<p>The Japanese in the islands have become very bold and defiant.</p> + +<p>They have been holding mass-meetings, and denouncing the action of the +government in very strong terms.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>The cruiser <i>Philadelphia</i> has arrived in Honolulu. She has been sent to +this post to protect our citizens in the islands, in case of trouble with +Japan.</p> + +<p>The <i>Marion</i> 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.</p> + +<p>The people of Hawaii, as we have already told you, <a name="Page_789" id="Page_789"></a>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.</p> + +<p>It is, however, fully understood that he will take no steps whatever until +after the Tariff Bill has been disposed of.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>The officer said he had seen enough service, and would prefer to retire +and make way for a younger man.</p> + +<p>The President is said to have answered him:</p> + +<p>"I shall consider it a personal favor if you will remain until after the +annexation."</p> + +<p>"How long will that be?" asked the officer.</p> + +<p>"It is very close at hand," was the President's reply.</p> + +<p>This looks as if we would have great news from the Sandwich Islands ere +long.</p> + +<p>This probability of annexation explains the reason why Queen Liliuokalani, +the Queen of the Sandwich Islands, has been in Washington this winter.</p> + +<p>You remember that we told you how President Cleveland tried to restore to +her her lost throne, and that he failed to do so.</p> + +<p>When the Queen arrived in Washington this season it was at once supposed +that she had come for some <a name="Page_790" id="Page_790"></a>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>She said that it had been hurriedly established when she gave up her +throne, and that the people are tired of it.</p> + +<p>She declares further that it is this knowledge that is making President +Dole so very anxious for annexation.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>Much interesting news about Hawaii has been brought out by these recent +events.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>He went to Honolulu in 1895, just after the insurrection to restore Queen +Liliuokalani was over.<a name="Page_791" id="Page_791"></a></p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>A thorough soldier himself, and accustomed to see such preparations only +in time of war, Colonel McLean asked what was the matter.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>"Just houses," he was told. "Residences."</p> + +<p>"Do rebels or suspected rebels live in them?" he asked.</p> + +<p>"Why, no," he was told. "Citizens."</p> + +<p>The Colonel was so astonished at this that he did not know what to say.</p> + +<p>He didn't wonder that the people were dissatisfied and frightened.<a name="Page_792" id="Page_792"></a></p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>He was awakened in the middle of the night by cries of:</p> + +<p>"Hi! hi! hi! there! Say! It's half-past two."</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>The next day, to the horror of the people in the palace, he removed the +guns, and reduced the number of sentries to four.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>When, however, morning came, and they were all alive, they calmed down a +little.</p> + +<p>So did the townspeople, when the guns were taken away.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>The government decided that Colonel McLean was <a name="Page_793" id="Page_793"></a>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>This matter is of interest to us, because it shows us our rights as +citizens.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>The elder Mayer never took out his naturalization papers, and therefore +remained a citizen of Germany.</p> + +<p>The younger Mayer was nevertheless an American citizen because he was born +here, and this is the point that interests us.</p> + +<p>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 <a name="Page_794" id="Page_794"></a>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.</p> + +<p>When young Mayer's parents went hack to Germany they educated their boy in +German schools, and he grew up as a German boy.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>He was nevertheless claimed by the authorities and forced to join the +army.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>The very day the young Germans come of age they are bound to offer +themselves for military service.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>In other places the military authorities send each young man an order to +report for duty on the morning of his birthday.</p> + +<p>There is no avoiding this service, which was formerly for three years, but +has been changed to two.</p> + +<p>The young men who do not answer the call are searched for, and, when +found, slightly punished.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>When young Mayer was forced to join the German <a name="Page_795" id="Page_795"></a>army, he appealed to the +American Government to help him.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>Seven of the most important persons connected with the trust refused to +answer the questions asked them by the committee.</p> + +<p>Among these men were such prominent persons as Henry O. Havemeyer and John +E. Searles, men who are known as Sugar Kings.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>One of them, Mr. E.E. Chapman, a stock-broker, was arrested by the United +States Marshal, taken to Washington, and tried for contempt.</p> + +<p>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 <a name="Page_796" id="Page_796"></a>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.</p> + +<p>Mr. Chapman was found guilty of this misdemeanor, and sentenced to thirty +days' imprisonment.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>If we are to have Investigation Committees, it is just as well that people +should learn they are not to be trifled with.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>New York has just had a visit from Chief Joseph of the Nez Percés Indians.</p> + +<p>Next to the old Sioux warrior, Red Cloud, Chief Joseph is the most +prominent Indian alive to-day.</p> + +<p>He came to New York at the special request of General Miles, and seemed to +be much interested in seeing the sights.</p> + +<p>His real business East was in Washington.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>There are 1,000 of the Nez Percés in Idaho, and it <a name="Page_797" id="Page_797"></a>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>The old chief feels sure that his request will be granted, because, as he +proudly says, he has come on himself to make it.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>The Sioux have a great admiration for the Nez Percés, and their surprise +and pleasure at seeing the chief was unbounded.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>The chief rode in the Grant parade, taking his place beside Colonel Cody.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>King Humbert of Italy had a narrow escape the other day.<a name="Page_798" id="Page_798"></a></p> + +<p>He was driving, when a man made a rush at the royal carriage, sprang on +the step, and tried to stab the King.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>The King was very little alarmed, and ordered his coachman to drive on.</p> + +<p>The would-be assassin was caught by the soldiers, and proved to be a +blacksmith, who is thought to be insane.</p> + +<p>The news of the affair reached the palace before the King.

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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>The Dingley Tariff Bill was reported to the Senate on Tuesday, May 4th.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> +<p><a name="Page_801" id="Page_801"></a></p> + +<p>Word comes from India that the plague is gradually dying out, and it is +hoped that the worst is over.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>They make a great deal of use of elephants in India.</p> + +<p>You know, of course, that India belongs to England.</p> + +<p>The title of Queen Victoria is Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and +Empress of India.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>Their duty is to drag the heavy batteries and the guns of the siege-train, +which are extremely large and exceedingly heavy.</p> + +<p>The elephants draw them as if they weighed nothing, and march along, +keeping steady pace with the soldiers.</p> + +<p>These big beasts trample down and demolish any <a name="Page_802" id="Page_802"></a>barriers that are in their +way, and pull their loads through heavy mire without the slightest effort.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>The elephants, despite their great strength, will not allow themselves to +be overloaded.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>As soon as they have learned the work that is required of them, they will +do it at the word of command.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>It is reported that Mr. Henry Havemeyer is trying to build an American +Venice in the Great South Bay.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.<a name="Page_803" id="Page_803"></a></p> + +<p>Mr. Havemeyer's charming idea is not entirely original, however.

In No. 13 of <span class='smcap'>The Great Round + World</span>, 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.</p> + +<p> 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.

"Call" is considered the +better position.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>For instance: The State of Massachusetts is put out, and the "replys" name +it "Massachusetts—Northeastern part," and count one.

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 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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/15613-h/images/27-tb.jpg b/15613-h/images/27-tb.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3273193 --- /dev/null +++ b/15613-h/images/27-tb.jpg diff --git a/15613-h/images/27.jpg b/15613-h/images/27.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a66359c --- /dev/null +++ b/15613-h/images/27.jpg diff --git a/15613-h/images/28a-tb.jpg b/15613-h/images/28a-tb.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..cf13235 --- /dev/null +++ b/15613-h/images/28a-tb.jpg diff --git a/15613-h/images/28a.jpg b/15613-h/images/28a.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..590926a --- /dev/null +++ b/15613-h/images/28a.jpg diff --git a/15613-h/images/28b-tb.jpg b/15613-h/images/28b-tb.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d8a58b9 --- /dev/null +++ b/15613-h/images/28b-tb.jpg diff --git a/15613-h/images/28b.jpg b/15613-h/images/28b.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..68d1ea8 --- /dev/null +++ b/15613-h/images/28b.jpg diff --git a/15613-h/images/covera.jpg b/15613-h/images/covera.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c5ed0dd --- /dev/null +++ b/15613-h/images/covera.jpg diff --git a/15613-h/images/coverb-tb.jpg b/15613-h/images/coverb-tb.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..07dcf19 --- /dev/null +++ b/15613-h/images/coverb-tb.jpg diff --git a/15613-h/images/coverb.jpg b/15613-h/images/coverb.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ad5a18e --- /dev/null +++ b/15613-h/images/coverb.jpg diff --git a/15613-h/images/coverc.jpg b/15613-h/images/coverc.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c2d3a38 --- /dev/null +++ b/15613-h/images/coverc.jpg diff --git a/15613-h/images/favbicycle.jpg b/15613-h/images/favbicycle.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..bd58183 --- /dev/null +++ b/15613-h/images/favbicycle.jpg diff --git a/15613-h/images/title.jpg b/15613-h/images/title.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b061da3 --- /dev/null +++ b/15613-h/images/title.jpg diff --git a/15613-h/images/trialratea.jpg b/15613-h/images/trialratea.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b728f2d --- /dev/null +++ b/15613-h/images/trialratea.jpg diff --git a/15613-h/images/trialrateb.jpg b/15613-h/images/trialrateb.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..1f81a99 --- /dev/null +++ b/15613-h/images/trialrateb.jpg diff --git a/15613-h/images/trialratec.jpg b/15613-h/images/trialratec.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..15774a1 --- /dev/null +++ b/15613-h/images/trialratec.jpg |
