WHO NAMED PONT D'ARCOLE?
i
Only Legend Relied On to Account
for Appellation Given Famous
I Brldfle In Paris.
Though It la getting on for nearly
a hundred years slnco the old Pont
de la Qrcvp In Paris has been known
as tho Pont d'Arcole, nobody yet 1ms
been nblo to glvo chapter and verso
lor tho change. Now that the anni
versary of tho threo days of July, 1830,
the 27th, 28th, and 20th, which Paris
dubbed Lcs Trols Olorlcuscs, has
ceased to be kept, It is likely that this
ago of local history will remain ob
scure. In the old days tho Pont do
la Orcvo was merely n footway for
passengers. In the troublous year when
Paris rose, tho Tullerles palace was
sacked and tho king fled to England,
n young hothead leading n column of
Insurgents charged across tho bridgo
with n flag in his hand shouting
"Follow mol and if I faU know that
my namo Is Arcolo" or Darcole. So
runs the legend. The famous incident
nt the Pont d'Arcolo when llonaparte,
flag in his hand, heading his grena
diers, beat tho Austrlans, must have in
spired tho Paris revolutionary If It
did not In some way glvo rls6 to the
whole story. Yet there must have been
sonio reason for giving the bridgo the
nnme of Pont d'Arcolo n few days
later. Thero Is no record of who gave
tho order for tho change. No record
at all of anything connected with the
incident. It Is one of tho minor "mys
tercs do Paris." Christian Sclcnco

BIG FOOD SUPPLY NEGLECTED
Writer Points Out How Great Savings
Might Do Effected by Cultiva
tion of Certain Trees.
Nuts nro the best of all tree crops
because of their high food value, their
long keeping qualities nnd the long
life of tlio trees. Hut there nro many
other tree crops almost utturly neg
lected by us. In tropical countries the
food of wholo nations Is largely de
rived from true fruits, both for man
nnd animals. Tho bread fruit, the
bannna, tho avocado, tho paw-paw, tho
carob, the flg, nro examples. Hut with
such fruits ns the American paw-paw,
tho persimmon, tho mulberry, the
honey locust, tho acorn and beechnut
nro neglected sources of food, -espe-peclally
for animals. Doctor Smith
says that our domesticated animals
cat about nine-tenths of our food
crops nnd that few spend a largo pnrt
of our time waiting on these nnlmals.
Why not mnke our hogs and chickens,
for example, wait on themselves by
having food-crop trees, innny of which
keep dropping their fruit over n largo
period of time, under 'which we can
pasture them? In Portugal they en
tirely fatten their pigs on acorns nnd
In some of tho Mediterranean islands
on chestnuts. Exchnnge.

trustees of tho Near East Relief In
which ho covers In dctnll tho actual

organization In the Near East Mr.

of tho citizenship of tho peoples of the
Nenr East."
Irresletlblo Appeal of Orphans.
Describing tho orphanage work of
the Near East Relief In the Armenian
Republic, Mr. Vlckrey said:
"We have nt Alexandropol In the
Caucasus, one orphunago whero thero
re approximately 10,000 homeless
children, fatherless or motherless,
many of thorn having no known living
relative. Some of them do not even
know their own names, or tho place of
their birth. They havo shown wonder
ful recuperative powers, nnd to see
them play their kindergarten or other
games under the direction of our Ameri
can relief workers, one could never be
lieve that they hnd" passed through
tho years of suffering thnt most of
them have experienced since they, or
tholr parents, were driven from their
homes In Central Turkey live years
ugo.
"For the nccommodntlon of these or
phans thero nro Mxty splendid stone
buildings, erected ns barracks for the
Russian army. These buildings nro
now gen to us by the Armenian gov
ernment for n period of ten years and
lend themselves admlrnbly to relief
purposes.
"This orphnnnge nt Alexandropol Is
but one of the U20 orphanages that the
Near East Relief Is now operating In
Mirlors parts of the Caucasus, Anato
li", Clllela. Sjm'Iu and the Constant!-nopk-Stratts
area.
"Thirty miles from Alexandropol, nt
Kara, there Is another group of Rus
sian army barracks, which wero given
us by the Armenian government for1
relief pin poses. I waj going through
tho dormitories of this orphaunge nt
Kara when the young American col
lego girl In charge turned to me and
wild : 'Mr. Vlckrey, It HUiietlnuis makes
mo feel Just u little older than Me
thugelnh to bo called "Mother" by'
0,000 of those Armenian children.'.
And that Is exactly what she was
tho only mother that these (5,000 Ar
menian children hae, except as she
ivnlls herself of the organised assist
ants of nntho Armenian women, In
curing for this large family.
"In the hospital at Knrs I found
3,150 beds, which, the day I was there,
were occupied by 1,208 patients. It
frequently being necessary to jiut two
or more children In a Mnglo bed. At
Alexandropol wo have In one hospital,
or group of hospital buildings, l.fiCO
trachoma patients. At Karaklls, forty
miles east of Alexandropol wo have
an orphnnnge devoted exclusively to
tho enro and training of the blind
children. At Delljan we have another
orphanage, located on a mountain side,
for the enre of tubercular children,
this segregation being as much for
the welfare of tho healthy cliilflren In
tho orphanages as for the 'car of tho
unfortunate consumptives, At Erlvnn
we formerly had twenty-six distinct
orphanages, though they have now
been reduced and consolidated te
oven In number, Thero arc florae
thing more than (1,000 orphans lu the
foglon of Hurpout." f - ..

The essentlnl requirements of good

flats or low places so ns to have a
minimum grade of 1 to 200.
2. Construct subdralns to carry
nwny nil seepage wnter; nlso make
enough cross-drains to dispose of sur-face-wntcr.

For a farming community tho width

should bo taken under the rond by

Is, of course, the best, but a vitrified
