MUST SEE IT TO BE1IVE IT Celebration of lorn Dar r the Uvea a Fruit that Hnne Bark lata the Mists of the Tnat. AMATLAN DE CANA8. Teplc. Mexico, Auk. 10. About where the 104th meridian west from Oreenwlch Intersects latitude 21 decrees 15 minutes north Is the Vale of Jala, In the Prefecture of Ahuacatlan, Trplc. Its chief town la the village of Jala, and although like Auburn It Is the loveliest of the plain, Its fame does not rest on its undeniable beauty alone, but also on the fat-t that there Is garnered year after year one of the moat wonderful crop In the world the slant corn of Jala. From Immemorial time agea perhaps before the first phoentcan galley, adven turing for traffic, ' sighted the unknown coasts of the Iberian peninsula the aboriginal farmers of the Vale of Jala whoever they may have been, were wont to gather about the second day of August as time Is computed now, to celebrate the sacred feast of the giant' green corn a the foot of majestic Ceboruco, that alum bering volcanic presence which yet mut ters In Its uneasy sleep. And to this day the Industrious husbandmen of that fair valley meet for the same purpose on the same day, now veneered and Chris tianised Into "La Fiesta de la Kuestra Senore de los Angeles" the feast of Our Lady of the Angola. ' These same farmers, the Jala Indians, are ever busy about something, and when not engaged In pottering about among their endless crops for It Is a perpetual performance at Jala they are finding plenty for their adroit hands to do mak ing wonderful plaited leather bridles or busy with some other cunning handicraft which has made them famous In Teplc. When the Crop Orawi, The grett valley of Ixtlan, with the mighty SlerrHS north and south, Is divided Into two narrow valleys by the vast bulk of the extinct volcano Ceboruco, said to be forty-two miles In circumference at Its bane, a perfect cone 4,20 feet above the level of tire valley except for the seriated rdge.i of the crater. While extinct In the seuae that It Is not In violent eruption, this venerable mountain has had an epic his tory In the ajjrK of the past, as attested by huge maH.tes of trachyto, basalt and lava flung for inilea around, and even now it groans and grunts at times and emits clouda of smuke and showers of ashes and scoriae, so Its neighbors ray. And full well thus.- neighbors, the Jala Indians, know old Ceboruco and admire It. They probably worshiped It before the pari i en came, for they know that the un equalled fertility of tlx-lr onceatral Vale of Jalu Is due to these showers of atilies with which It enriiheg them from time to time, and that their ttlant corn, found nowhere else in all the land, is a direct gift from it This Incredible corn needs to be seen to be txlleed, and it would te a reckleas man und one careless of pubHc ex tee in who would link his character for veracity by giving accurate measurements made on the ground, both of plant and ears.

They are nice, amiable gentlemen. though, and it is the duty of every expatri ated patriot to send some corn back to his fatherland if he finds that he can't come back and bring his sheaves with him. The statement Is risked, speaking of the enormity of the height of the plant, that few of the growing ears could be reached by an average sized citizen of the corn belt of Illinois, without a stepladder or some other factitious aid. and the stalks bear two or three ears, nearly every one of them. These stalks are large, very large never mind how large and many of the humble folk of the village use them In the con struction of their jacals, as they call the huts In which tiey live, placing them close together In vertical arrangement to form the side walls. The ears are extremely long and rather small In diameter for their length, and ought to make ideal roasting ears, for there are such ideals if you have b-en trained right. The grains are enormous and the rows are beautifully filled out to the end. The ears hang down by a long stalk and H Is apparent even to an amateur corn ad mirer that the giant corn of Jala Is a type by Itself, If not a separate species.

SINGLE ARMY FOR EMPIRE Consolidation of All Taoops of Colo nies with Imperial Aruir Plan of Esflsad, LONDON. Aug. 11 One great homogene ous Imperial EtritlHh army, brilliantly tralnel and equipped la to be the outcome of the imperial conferences on the navy and military defenses of the empire, held at the foreign office the latter part of July. The plans provide that all troops of se.f governing colonies shall undergo precisely th same training as the borne regulars, in order to be ready to take places beside the latter whenever necessity may arise. Mili tary training colleges sre to be established in the over-sea dominions, and there Is to be a continuous interchange of officers from all parts of the empire, so as to tu sure absolute uniformity of organisation and training. III. APLKS The little, pretty land of Belgium has one . attrac tion drawing endless caravans to it from all the earth. It holds the tragical field of Waterloo. In Paris you be come N sensible of the triumphs of the great Napoleon, but at 'Waterloo of his utter defeat.. In fact, it was that cul tivated farm region that drew me Into Belgium rather than anything else. Brus sels, the rather splendid capital, where you hear a French with a rather harder ring to It than at Paris, merits a visit. Indeed. Yet I Imagine that every visitor there car ries a restless spirit within him until he can hurry out to Waterloo, a rolling prairie district with good farms and farm houses, and the monument in the center in memory of not Napoleon's defeat, but of tHe vic tory of the allied forces that overthrew the mighty emperor. Wherever I went In Brussels, In the Immutable square in front of the superb gothlc Hotel de Vllle, In the quaint crooked almost Dutch-looking streets, or out In the magnificent bosch. city park, on the heights everywhere Waterloo was In my mind. y It looks very commonplace out In the memorable field, something like a farm region In Iowa or eastern Nebraska. But never a day, perhaps, passed that the spe cial train out to Braln-l'AUend does not carry a score, and often luindreds, of vis itors to Waterloo. The day I came out, and It was a very warm, dusty, fatiguing one, throngs came and went. A dozen young English schoolgirls of the ages of 1A to 18 listened with rapt attention to one English officer's explanation of the great historical tragedy and triumph. That was "history" on the spot for bright. Intelli gent school girls. The high mound Is crowned by a bronze Hon, and our English officer took pains to show the girls that it was a British Hon, not a Belgian lion, as the latter curls Its tall down and the Brit ish lion curls Its upward with satisfaction and pride. British alwas on top, of course. of the toilers there. Truly, when one sees In Europe the pitiful poverty of the woik Ing classes you need not be a rabid anarch ist to feel a deep sympathy with the agita tion of labor unions against the existing conditions. In America, with its vastly better labor sltuatioii, the strikes and rude revolts have a more criminal aspect. We complain in our country over .opportunities that would make an European woikingmuii feel happy as a lark. Very different from Brussels the great port of Antwerp, a Belgian city with a pronounced Dutch appearance. Formerly the trade of the world pulsed through this port, and even now the harbor Is full of steamships and sailors. I had a long talk with a harbor workman one evening there on the harbor situation In Antwerp. The man had an income of 6 francs (1) a day, and a family to support in this rather ex pensive city. He told me he desired to re' turn to the United States where the work lugmun's lot w as better ' than here in Bel glum. His detailed description, enlivened by comments from his wife, who accom panied him on an evening stroll on the old historic quay, enabled me to comprehend at.ni belter what I every day understood more thoroughly, that while Europe has no doubt an older, richer culture than we, American Is the land for the industrious poor, common man. Antwerp is a rugged oceansldo city. uomewhat uncouth 111 appearance, want ing in the elegance of its rival, Brussels The historical romance of this port appeals wit of Jt.re You leave Waaerloo In a strange mood, desirous to do honor to the conquerors of the heartless Napoleon and yet full of sad ness at the fall of so stupendous a general and statesman. One enjoys thoroughly the brisk half French life of Brussels. You notice the Dutch type to some extent. The long Span ish reign has also left its impress on the I'elgian people. Brussels Is a very modem city, full of grand public buildltm. exqui site stores with a good deal of l'arlslsn elegenance to them. The royal palace, finer hotels, the great park, all lie In the hills. There seems to, be a quiet, reflnei spirit here in this delightful capital, and the working people have a thoughtful, In telligent look. Brussels has often been the scene ot serious labor troubles, which testify In way to the Independent spirit to me more than the modern elegance the capital. Besides. Antwerp has an architectural gem, the superb Gothic ca thedral of t. Mary. The tower of this temple la, perhaps, the most beautiful Gothic spire In the world, unless It be the tower of the cathedral of Ovledo, Spain. Anyone that has heard the chimes of this cathedral has an undying memory of beauty. How astonished I was one even ing as I stood talking with a shopkeeper near the church to hear the entire tower, as it seemed, ring out not a plain mel ody, but a very complicated fugue-like coin position that sounded as if it had come from the pen of some of the learned com posers of Antwerp in the fifteenth or six teenth centuries. And the beauty of these bells, and the silvery lone of them. How can these European churches get such bells? Our Ameiican church bells are vastly Inferior. The tone of the good European bell rings with the purity, beauty and car rying power of silver. There must be some precious metal In many of them, as they, have a richness to which our American ear is wholly unaccustomed. As you cruHS over ' from Antwerp to Dusaeldorf on the Rhine you get a thor ough Initiation Into the different types of people on the European continent. Your Belgium, half French, half Dutch, mild and easy going, then a atrip of north east Holland with the chubby, slow, good natured Dutch, and at Gladbach, on tho German frontier the Prussian customs house officers bursting in on you with military commands, sharp, somewhat cross, forbidding and exacting, but punctual and wide awake. The finest railroad train I have seen In Europe was on this Qlod-bach-Berlln line. I question very much If we have any coaches In America on ordinary express trains more excellent In appointments than those I saw on this Journey. After the little stumpy Eng lish, French and Belgium cars these Ger man ones on the Goldbach express were a .relief. But you obey orders when you travel In a north German train! "It Is forbidden," Is a sign that strikes the eye wherever It glances. And ' there Is no "please" attached to a Prussian "Es 1st verboten." From the easy Belgians to the commanding, determined Prussians you never forget the foellng! I was. In fact, very glad to step off from this mili tary train-life and hide myself for a few hours In a room at the Dusseldorf hotel, where we lodged. We poor Americans, with our independent training, rebel against cesseless commands. Dusseldorf, one of Germany's most beautiful cities, had glori ous parks. Your Amorlcan fairly panted on this hot day for a spot in the lovely, cool green grass In the park near the art exhibition, but no. "It is forbidden" to touch a blade of grass with 'your Inde pendent A merles n foot. Preferring to obey Prussian law and stifle American do-as-you-pleaje desires, I rested content h a good look. The German parka were rested to look at, not to touch. . "It Is forbidden." All t through the Prussian empire, but especially In north Germany, where the German life has a sterner, stlffer and more exacting tone than In the south, you feel this military spirit in things great and small. Yet, mark you, this very hsrd, somewhat rude and unsympathetic Prussian spirit has had much to do with the splendid orderliness, progress and prowess of the great Ger man empire, great rot in extent, for European countries are not relatively small, except Hussla, but great In all lines of modern civilization, culture and ad vancement. Just at this time the art exhibition Is on In DuHseldorf-on-the-IUiine. It has two divisions, Becular and Christian art, the latter, In my estimation, much superior to the former. One Is fairly astonished at the wealth of art In this display, which Is principally from the Rhine provinces. French art has degenerated Into tho finicky, sterile salon spirit that falls to convince any but weaklings and- the super cultured who "should hitch their wagon to a star" and ride off to a world where life Is constructed on the r'an of a vaudeville theater. In German art, If It Is heavy at times, there Is a loftier Idealism, a grander boldness of spirit and a depth of soul that profoundly Impresses a manly mind. The Christian art division was an astonishing display of artistic fertility of mind and superior workmanship. Germany has some thing to say In Its art as well as In Its Industrial, civic and political life. Now just one little note more this time. On the way to Duesseldorf some little coun try school girls, T to 12 years old, entered our compartment and greeted us heartily and politely In their plain but winning way. They came from a private school, children of such as depot masters, shop keepers. The oldest girl, aged it. was Dutch by birth, spoke Dutch and German fluently, studied French and got along fairly well with English. How Is that, school girls of OmahaT When they were to leave they all politely shook hands with us and wished us "guts relse" a happy Journey. Btlll, they were children of plain people In a tiny country village, dressed very, very simply. Their mental alertness and their beautiful politeness pleased and Impressed me deeply. Europeun children understand politeness toward elders and superiors. mm Is to love children, and no home can be happy without them, yet the ordeai through which the expectant mother must pass usually is so full of suffering and dread that bhe looks forward to the hour with apprehension.
