RUINS OF SPRUCE TREE HOUSE Tumbling Caused of Great Tower Consternation in Eternal City. AFTER TEN YEARS IT IS AS IN OLDEN DAYS Berlin, April "William visited Cuxhaven before leaving for Corfu and held conferences there with high naval orncors. and he has now decided to establish a war harbor there. At present the only naval harbor on the North Sea is W'il- helmshaveti, is not capacious enough to accommodate -----------uoy-l iri decided der more vessels than are comprised in the first squadron. As it has just been to transfer the big new cruiser and several others from the Baltic to the North Sea, it becomes nec- essory to increase the harbor on tliat coast of Germany.

The change is dictated by that Britain has the its naval strength in and it has come to be German naval men and laymen that the German navy will find its chief use in that sea if it should ever into- action.

Moreover, this struggle itself, say the Socialists, makes for fewer marriages and fewer births. I 31 ethod for DS.scoverlng Ore.

A now method for discovering de- posits of ores, coal and oil, has been bv Prof. Jacob Koenigsberger. in many boreholes as dei, found, the rate rate at about Fahrenheit, but found After taking w'ith the most varied local surroundings, lie iound that the rate at which the crust grows warmer at lower levels is far from uniform.

It was however, that over coal deposits is only 47 to 55 feet.

Oil heats the earth still more rapidly, causing a gain of one degree 15 to 20 feet. It is believed that investigations will prove of great use in prospecting for mineral and oil deposits, since it will be determine by taking the for every Prof. Koenlgs- possible to determine temperatures in a borehole several hundred feet deep whether it is approaching valuable deposits: and it will not be necessary to waste large sums ot. money in boring deep holes without discovering anything. A Costly StruKsrle.

It Is a costly and unpromising struggle that Prussia is to convert the Polish province into German territory. It has cost the government not less than $6,000 for every German fam- brought into th' the Germanisation of lation is Tnaking no progress IS iiver, notwithstanding the settlement of Qiltnnans in the two provinces from other parts of the country. This conclusion is warranted by the annual report just published of the Settlement commls.slon, the public board having charge of the work of buying PoJisli lands and parceling it out and selling it to Germans. From a total of 85,600 acres of land bought in 1905 the purchases of the commission dropped last year to only 22,076 acres, and of this latter amount only 2,970 acres were bought from Polish owners. All the rest was bought from Germans.

The total cost of the land purchases since the year 1S86, when the commission began Its work, has been above $90,000,000. Durlnff this period 19,570 families, consisting of 141,200 persons, have been settled on the land parceled out by the commission. More than one-fourth of these families, however, already living in the two provinces. an allowance for this fact It appears that the number of German families brought In was only 14728. and this number includes nearly 5,000 families of Germans from Russia.

Many people think that the success of the commission has been very disappointing considering tho huge sum of money spent.

Call for 31edlority.

The of the American university has said that in this utilitarian age, ed- i ucation must be of practical value. While general culture is not over- i looked, new courses of training are being developed which will fit a man or a woman to enter at once upon a re- munerative work. The demand for the properly trained worker is greater than i the supply. While for mediocrity is little call, the expert may be sure of a comfortable income in whatever vocation he chooses. There are lawyers, doctors and preachers enough, but there are too few highly trained men in the newer professions.

It sounds like a paradox, but it is true that the profession of teaching is the newest profession of all. The time has passed when knowledge of a subject is considered sufficient training for a teacher. Now the fact is recognized that a man may be a scholar without being able to produce scholars. A knowledge of pedagogy is as important as a knowledge of a subject, if one is to be a successful teacher, even in a special subject. The different departments of the great universities supply the means of gaining the know'ledge of the special subject and in addition, their colleges of education now train the expectant teacher in the practical methods of teaching his science to others.

This is one of the newer developments of edu- ntional work. it, a complete utilization of all the resources of the expensive equipment of the university plant could not be secured. i lletter Training Xeeded. the normal shcools of the American public school system are admirably filling their part In training teachers for in tho elementary schools, there has until lately a lack of facilities for training teachers to teach in the higher schools and colleges. On account of this the time of the universities ha-s been wasted by the admission of students who were not prepared.

This fact wn.s recognized some years ago by the National Education association and as a result most of the largest universities of the country are now provided with a department of college ediication. The American university was the first to recognize the value of education as a science in Itself. than 50 years ago, a prominent English educator opposed the establishment of chair of education in 'the University of St. Andrew's, declaring that there could be no such thing as science of Now' the Englisii universities, profiting by the work done in the United States, teach education, although department in America. The first professor of education in an lOngiish speaking university died less than tw'O years ago.

He held the first chair of this subject In the University of Michigan. Nlw there are over 200 colleges and universities In tliis country having a professor of education. In the larger institutions, the subject of education has advanced from a struggling department In charge of one or two mediocre professors, to school or college of education having a faculty of high priced experts who teach each subject with special skill. The University of Chiago includes 10 main subjects In its department of education besides a large number of minor branches. In order that those preparing for educational ivork may have practical experience the university maintains system of eiementary schools.

These serve the organized as in teaching, a complete and secondary the students in education as laboratories for their worij; just as the physic.il laboratories help the students in that department. Education is thus placed upon a scientific basis and the students gain a knowledge of the principles of educational psychology, organization and methods, and a of the his- on Next Page.) Rome, Italy, April the Venetians stood about the utter ruins of tlieir campanile, just ten years ago, to them it seemed irrevocably lost, glimmering through ihe dream of things tliat In those first moments the disaster appeared irremediable, but still there is their tower today, refashioned just as before, and they rub their eyes almost thinking it all a bad dream. The campanile fell on the morning of 14, 1902, and already in the spring of the next year work had betn begun on the new structure, but not before much time had been lost and angry passions roused over the form it should take and where it should stand. One party argued that the ancients when ona of the great buildings was destroyed' did not erect another just like it in place, but built the best which living architects coiilJ produce. also said that the oUl tower had broken the symmetry of the piazza and that thus the site of the new structure I should be elsewhere.

The othei- party was for an absolute of the old tower and in the old place, and it wou the day. Xot So Had A Imftslned. It was soon discovered that matters have been much worse than they were; the campanile was indeed a rubbish heap, but out of that rubbish came wonderful things, bells cracktu but not destroyed, pieces of marble showing the designs and stiapes of wliat been, old bricks bearing the names of all tho from Nero to Theodosius, the angel v.hich stood on the top was little injured, and so on. After careful examination it was decided to use the old foundations (too small for the weight which they haq been made to carry for so many hundreds of years), as tliey were perfect. In 1903 the Count of 'I'urin.

with then patriarch of Venice, to bless it. layed the cornerstone of reincarnation, in the center of the original foundations. Around them wore driven, over an ai-ea of 12 feet, 3,076 fresh larchwood piles, from Cadore. the l)iles being, more or less, nine inches in diameter and twelve and a half feet long. Larch has two qualities which make they harden, almost petrify, in the pjeculiar clay of Venice, and they are straight.

They averaged J2 to every three square feet, making a total enlargement of 300 S(iuare yards, and were driven in by 570-pound weight, raised four feet six to absolute resistance. However the work presented many difficulties, as for instance, during the corner showed a depression of half a foot, due to a dif, ference of soil, so longer had to be selected and run through a sandy I deposit into the clay below. On this bed of piles were placed large blocks of stone cemented together, which when finished, it was estimated, would hold a weight of 90,000 tons, while the completed tower is about 20,000 tons. Requires 'I ears. This work took two years, and a year after the structure was already IS feet high.

Work was then suspended for over a year, due to disagreements so that the end of 1908 arrived before the shaft was finished. All this time artists were working over the recomposition of the beautiful Loggia dl Sansovino, whicli stood at the foot of the tower, a work of wonderful perseverance, as. for instance, the celebrated group of the Madonna with Christ and St. John, in terra cotta, which have been patiently picked out of the debris, and, with even more patience, fitted together in such a manner that what is really patchwork appears a perfect whole; that is, the Madonna and Christ, but St. was so reduced to dust that not one piece w'as found.

The four bronze figures which stood in tlie niches are now there as before, and the marvelous gates which were literally torn apart into fragments have been reconstructed piece by piece, a i)erfect mosaic, an impossibility but for old prints which gave the designs. The marble plJlars are practically the original ones, and where the missing chips pieces could not be found the necessary material was taken from th.e insidp of the themselves. The only really new things are the doors, wliich are of wood, but on the old model. The Tower. The tower as It now stands as It was when it collapsed) is 322 feet high, the shaft, an absolute reproduction, Is composed of about 1,200,000 copper-colored bricks, each handmade ovor a wood fire, according to antique measurements.

Each was tested before being put in place, and if not absolutely perfect was rejected. The belfry looks out over the same entrancing view, one of its pecularities being that not a canal can be seen, and holds the recast bells, and the one old one which escaped injury, the the largest of all. which was brought from Crete centuries ago. Over the belfry stands the original golden angel. She is 30 feet high and is made of gilded copper with the extremities in bronze.

The total cost of the reconstructed tower as It now stands comi)leted has been about $225.150, almost entirely contributed by Venice and the province of Venice. The Inauguration takes place on April 25, coincidin.g w'ith the openln.g of the great bi-annual International Exhibition of Paintings and Sculi)ture, which will take place on April 23. Tt is difficult for strangers to understand what the campanile meant to Venetians, and therefore what its reappearance signifies to them. It was begun as far back as 888. and was a watchtower to signal the arrival of the enemy, of course from the sea.

In it had already been transformed into a bell tower; in 1417 in was provided with a marble belfry, and in 1517 boasted an angel as Its crown of glory was later destroyed and replaced by the present golden one. In all these centuru-s tne campanile has been the protection of tlie city, through it no enemy could unexpectedly, while the peal of bell.s called the citizens to arms thanksgiving, as the case might be.

April the mystic measas of the arid southwest has been established a government reservation of strange and fascinating Interest. In the high and almost inaccessible recesses of the which border the cavernous canyons of the San and the Rio Manccs, near the common corner of Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico, are found the long abandoned homes of the ancient and extinct inhabitants of this novv' deserted country, the cliff dwellings of a race of prehistoric men of the stone agt. Little Is known ay to the extca era of the cliff existence. The archaeologists tell us that the cliff cities w'ere in ruins at the time of tho coming of the Spaniards and place a thousand yeari ago as the most recent date of occupation in the localities described. The cliff themselves were small of stature, a shown by the undersized and dwarf- like mummies found in their dwellings.

Tho lived in communities for mutual protection, all evidences pointing to a peaceable and industrious people, who. unable to wage successful derenslve warfare w'ith the hostile bands of Indians on the south, fortified themselves in their cliff houses far up In the rocky walls of the canyons. Reached Only by Xnrrow Trails. Access to these lofty fortresses Is obtained only by follow'lng narrow trails along the face of the cliffs. In places reduced to merely hand and foot holds, carved in the sheer precipice, and through tunnels cut in rock barely large enough to admit the entrance of diminutive cliff dweller.

From some of the structures the rod: formations which permitted entrance have caved away, leaving them isolated on high ledges and balconies in cliffs, inaccessible and unexplored. Uved In Stone On the level mesa above the these ancient people cultivated the soil and raised their crops. Here are found the quaint and prehistoric mounds from which have been unearthed stone arrow heads, grinders for pottery and other objects of peculiar interest. The absence of any metal from their abodes shows beyond doubt tha: their age was a stone era; the attractive decoration of their pottery and their geometrical pictographs indicate a high state of artistic development, and the masonry of the cliff demonstrates an advanced stage of architectural and engineering skill. That the cliff dwellers were not Indians is the latest archaeological word on the subject.

The mummies of the cliffmen are narrow'-headed. while the neighboring Pueblo Indians are broad-headed. The hair of the mummies is of fine texture; not coarse like Indian hair. One theory of their origin which is gaining wide but by no means universal acceptance assumes that they were Asiatics, w'ho came to this continent by w'ay of the Aleutian Islands, Alaska. and thence southward.

The Cliff Palace. The principal and most Impressive ruin in the Verde National park Is the Cliff palace, an imposing structure approximately 300 feet In length, built under the rock roof of an enormous cave, which rises in an arch above the ruin. Cliff palace contains over 200 living rooms, with numerous larger chambers, called kivas. used for assembling places for the purpose of worship, ceremonies, councils and the like.
