Technically speaking, the President is not elected by the people and the people do not vote directly for any presidential candidate. They cast their ballots for electors and these electors choose a President and Vice-President. In each State the number of elec- tors is equal to the number of Senators and Representatives which the State has in Congress. Each party has an Electoral ticket with the names of its electors printed on it. The electoral ticket which receives the greatest number of popular ballots in the State, would be chosen by the people, and the electors named on it, will be entitled to give their votes for the candidate whom they represent. - "- \ The electors who are chosen will meet in each State on the second Monday in January, and cast their votes for a President and Vice-President. As a matter of law, they can then vote for whom they please. As a matter of usage and public trust, they are expected to vote for the candidate whom they are pledged to support. Certificates of the votes cast by the electors in each State are then made out and sent to Washington. These Certificates are opened in the presence of the Senate and the House of Repre- sentatives, and counted on the second Wednesday in February. The candidate for President receiving the majority of electoral votes will then be declared President. If no person has a major- ity, then the election goes into the House of Representatives, which is required to choose a President from the persons (not ex- ceeding three) who have received the most electoral votes for President. In the House the vote is by States, each State having one vote. The following law, given in full, passed February 3, 1887, governs the counting of the Electoral Vote: An act to fix the day for the meeting of the electorals of Presi- dent and Vice-President, and to provide for and regulate the countmg of the votes for President and Vice-President, and the decision of questions arising thereon. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa- tives OF the United States of America in Congress Assembled, That the electors of each State shall meet and give their votes on. the second Monday in January next following their appointment at such place in each State as the legislature of such State shall direct. Sec. 2. That if any State shall have provided, by laws enacted prior to the day fixed for the appointment of the electors, for its final determination of any controversy or contest concerning the appointment of all or any of the electors of such State, by judicial How the President of the United States is Chosen— continued. or other methods or procedures, and such determination shall have been made at least six days before the time fixed for the meeting of the electors, such determination made pursuant to such law so existing on said day, and made at least six days prior to the said time of meeting of the electors, shall be conclusive, and shall govern in the counting of the electoral votes as provided in the Constitution, and as hereinafter regulated, so far as the ascertain- ment of the electors appointed by such State is concerned. Sec. 3. That it shall be the duty of the executive of each State, as soon as practicable after the conclusion of the appointment of electors in such State, by the final ascertainment under and in pursuance of the laws of such State provididing for such ascer- tainment, to communicate, under the seal of the State, to the Sec- retary of State of the United States, a certificate of such ascer- tainment of the electors appointed, setting forth the names of such electors and the canvass or other ascertainment under the laws of such State of the number of votes given or cast for each person for whose appointment any and all votes have been given or cast ; and it shall also thereupon be the duty of the executive of each State to deliver to the electors of such State, on or before the day on which they are required by the preceding section to meet, the same certficate, in triplicate, under the seal of the State; and such certificate shall be inclosed and transmitted by the electors at the same time and in the same manner as is pro- vided by law for transmitting by such electors to the seat of gov- ernment the lists of all persons voted for as President and of all persons voted for as Vice-President ; and section one hundred and thirty-six of the Revised Statutes is hereby repealed ; and if there shall have been any final determination in a State of a controversy or contest as provided for in section two of this act, it shall be the duty of the executive of such State, as soon as practicable after such determination, to communicate, under the seal of the State, to the Secretary of State of the United States, a certificate of such determination, in form and manner as the same shall have been made ; and the Secretary of State of the United States, as soon as practicable after the receipt at the State Department of each of the certificates hereinbefore directed to be transmitted to the Sec- retary of State, shall publish, in such public newspaper as he shall designate, such certificates in full ; and at the first meeting of Con- gress thereafter he shall transmit to the two Houses of Congress copies in full of each and every such certificate so received there- fore at the State Department. Sec. 4. That Congress shall be in session on the second Wednes- day in February, succeeding every meeting of the electors. The Senate and House of Representatives shall meet in the Hall of the House of Representatives at the hour of one o'clock in the afternoon on that day, and the President of the Senate shall be their presiding officer. Two tellers shall be previously appointed on the part of the Senate and two on the part of the House of Representatives, to whom shall be handed, as they are opened by How the President of the United States is Chosen— continued. the President of the Senate, all the certificates and papers purport- ing to be certificates of the electoral votes, which certificates and papers shall be opened, presented, and acted upon in the alphabetical order of the States, beginning with the letter A ; and said tellers, havang then read the same in the presence and hearing of the two Houses, shall make a list of the votes as they shall ap- pear from the said certificates, and the votes having been ascer- tained and counted in the manner and according to the rules in this act provided, the result of the same shall be delivered to the President of the Senate, who shall thereupon announce the state of the vote, which announcement shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons, if any, elected President and Vice- President of the United States, and together with a list of the votes, be entered on the Journals of the two Houses. Upon such reading of any such certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any. Every objection shall be made in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and with- out argument, the ground thereof, and shall be signed by at least one Senator and one member of the House of Representatives be- fore the same shall be received. When all objections so made to any vote or paper from a State shall have been received and read, the Senate shall thereupon withdraw, and such objections shall be submitted to the Senate for its decision and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall in like manner, submit such ob- jections to the House of Representativ^es for its decision, and no electoral vote or votes from any State which shall have been reg- ularly given by electors whose appointment has been lawfully certified to according to section three of this act from which but one return has been received shall be rejected, but the two Houses concurrently may reject the vote or votes when they agree that such vote or votes have not been so regularly given by electors whose appointment has been so certified. If more than one return or paper purporting to be a return from a State shall have been received by the President of the Senate, those votes, and those only, shall be counted which shall have been regularly given by the electors who are shown by the determination men- tioned in section two of this act to have been appointed, if the de- termination in said section provided for shall have been made, or by such successors or substitutes, in case of a vacancy in the board of electors so ascertained, as have been appointed to fill such vacancy in the mode provided by the laws of the State ; but in case there shall arise the question which of two or more of such State authorities determining what electors have been appointed, as mentioned in section two of this act, is the lawful tribunal of such State, the votes regularly given of those electors, and those only, of such State shall be counted whose title as electors the two Houses, acting separately, shall concurrently decide is sup- ported by the decision of such State so authorized by its laws, and in such case of more than one return or paper purporting to be a return from a State, if there shall have been no such determina- How the President of the United States is Chosen— continued. tion of the question in the State aforesaid, then those votes, and those only shall be counted which the two Houses shall concur- rently decide were cast by lawful electors appointed in accord- ance with the laws of the State, unless the two Houses, acting separately shall concurrently decide such votes not to be the law- ful votes of the legally appointed electors of such State. But if the two Houses shall disagree in respect of the counting of such votes, then, and in that case, the votes of the electors whose ap- pointment shall have been certified by the Executive of the State, under the seal thereof, shall be counted. When the two Houses have voted, they shall immediately again meet, and the presiding officer shall then announce the decision of the questions submit- ted. No votes or papers from any other State shall be acted upon until the objections previously made to the votes or papers from any State shall have been finally disposed of. Sec. 5. That while the two Houses shall be in meeting as pro- vided in this act the President of the Senate shall have power to preserve order ; and no debate shall be allowed and no question shall be put by the presiding officer except to either House on a motion to withdraw. Sec. 6. That when the two Houses separate to decide upon an objection that may have been made to the counting of any elec- toral vote or votes from any State, or other question arising in the matter, each Senator and Representative may speak to such objection or question five minutes, and not more than once ; but after such debate shall have lasted two hours it shall be the duty of the presiding officer of each House to put the main question without further debate. Sec. 7. That at such joint meeting of the two Houses seats shall be provided as follows: For the President of the Senate, the Speaker's chair ; for the Speaker, immediately upon his left ; the Senators, in the body of the Hall upon the right of the pre- siding officer; for the Representatives, in the body of the Hall not provided for the Senators; for the tellers. Secretary of the Senate, and Clerk of the House of Representatives, at the Clerk's desk; for the other officers of the two Houses, in front of the Clerk's desk and upon each side of the Speaker's platform. Such joint meeting shall not be dissolved until the count of electoral votes shall be completed and the result declared ; and no recess shall be taken unless a question shall have arisen in regard to counting any such votes, or otherwise under this act, in which case it shall be competent for either House, acting separately, in the manner hereinbefore provided, to direct a recess of such House not beyond the next calendar day, Sunday excepted, at the hour of ten o'clock in the forenoon. But if the counting of the electoral votes and the declaration of the result shall not have been completed before the fifth calendar day next after such first meeting of the two Houses, no further or other recess shall be taken by either House. The President's Successor in case of Death, etc. The following law, given in full, adopted January 19th, 1886, explains who succeeds the President of the United States, in case of a vacancy in the office of Vice-President : An Act to provide for the performance of the duties of the office of President in case of the removal, death, resignation, or in- ability both of the President and Vice-President. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress Assembled, That in case of removal, death, resignation, or inability of both the Presi- dent and Vice-President of the United States, the Secretary of State, or if there be none, or in case of his removal, death, resig- nation, or inability, then the Secretary of the Treasury, or if there be none, or in case of his removal, death, resignation, or inability, then the Secretary of War, or if there be none, or in case of his removal, death, resignation, or inability, then the Attorney-Gen- eral, or if there be none, or in case of his removal, death, resigna- tion, or inability, then the Postmaster-General, or if there be none, or in case of his removal, death, resignation, or inability, then the Secretary of the Navy, or if there be none, or in case of his re- moval, death, resignation, or inability, then the Secretary of the Interior, shall act as President until the disability of the Presi- dent or Vice-President is removed or a President shall be elected: Provided, that whenever the powers and duties of the office of President of the United States shall devolve upon any of the per- sons named herein, if Congress be not then in session, or if it would not meet in accordance with law within twenty days there- after, it shall be the duty of the person upon whom said powers and duties shall devolve to issue a proclamation convening Con- gress in extraordinary session, giving twenty days' notice of the time of meeting. Sec. 2. That the preceding section shall only be held to describe and apply to such officers as shall have been appointed by the ad- vice and consent of the Senate to the offices therein named, and such as are eligible to the office of President under the Constitu- tion, and not under impeachment by the House of Representa- tives of the United States at the time the powers and duties of the office shall devolve upon them respectively. Sec 3. That sections one hundred and forty-six, one hundred and forty-seven, one hundred and forty eight, one hundred and forty-nine, and one hundred and fifty of the Revised Statutes are hereby repealed. 8 The Monroe Doctrine. What is called " the Monroe Doctrine " is not, properly speak- ing, a doctrine at all. Rather is it a declaration of Executive policy, for as originally made by President James Monroe, on December 2, 1823, it did no more than define the attitude of his Administration toward the question, then pending, of the occupa- tion and colonization of territory on this hemisphere by non- American powers. The direct cause of this declaration was Spain's inclination still to regard South American states which had successfully revolted against Spanish rule,, as dependent colonies although it had shown itself unable to control them and their independence had been maintained and acknowledged. The fol- lowing is the essential part of President Monroe's message, known as the Monroe doctrine : " With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not interfered and shall not interfere; but with the governments who have declared their independence and main- tained it, and whose independence we have on great consideration and on just principles acknowledged, we could not view any inter- position for the purpose of oppressing them or controlling in any manner their destiny by any European power in any other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States." That declaration, reiterated by Monroe on Dec. 7th, 1824, was made with England's knowledge and consent, and bound the Nation no further than the end of the Monroe administration. That doctrine would have lapsed with its author's exit from office had it not struck the chord of public sentiment, and had not Mr. Monroe's successors recognized the wisdom of giving adher- ence to the policy defined by him. ■ This they did, and the policy of Monroe was reasserted : By President Tyler on December 30, 1842. By President Polk on December 2, 1S45. By President Polk on December 7, 1847. By President Polk on April 29, 1848. By President Buchanan, on Dec. 6, 1858. By President Buchanan, on Dec. 3, i860. By President Grant, on May 31, 1S70. By President Grant, on Dec. 5, 1870. By President Grant, on April 5, 18 71. By President Cleveland, on Dec. 2, 1895. By President Cleveland, on Dec. 17, 1895. By Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt on numerous occasions. President Grant, in reasserting the doctrine, declared it should be extended, and on May 31, 1870, in a message to Congress, said The Monroe Doctrine — continued. that thereafter territory on this hemisphere should not be held "subject of transfer (by treaty or otherwise) to any European power." As the original declaration of this policy was made in a mes- sage to Congress, so has been each reassertion of it, and outside of these documents, the doctrine of Monroe has no official exis- tence. It does not live in any act of Congress nor in any of the treaties by which nations are bound, nor has it ever been recog- nized as a principle of international law. Therein lies its princi- pal weakness, outside of public sentiment, and save as a Chief Executive of the Nation chooses to give it his adherence, it is non-existent. It is, therefore, not a doctrine, but merely a matter of administrative polic^^ The (jrand Canyon of the Colorado. The average width of the Grand Canyon of Colorado from rim to rim does not exceed ten miles throughout the widest portion of the canyon and it frequently narrows to eight miles. The river does not occupy the middle of the gigantic trough, but flows at a distance varying from one to three miles from the south side. Practically all of the magnificantly sculptured pinnacles and so- called temples lie north of the river at distances of from five to seven miles from view-points usually visited by tourists. The depth of the Grand Canyon measured from from the south rim is considerably less than a mile. From the rim at the Bright Angel Hotel where the altitude is 6,866 feet above sea level, to the high water mark of the river at the foot of the tourist trail, the drop is 4,430 feet. The highest point on the south rim at the Grand View Hotel is 7,496 feet, about 4,900 feet above the river. From the north side, however, the drop to the water level averages consid- erably over a mile and in places exceeds 6,000 feet. In a general way it may be said that the north rim is 1,000 to 1,200 feet higher than the south, thus producing the high, even, sky-line so im- pressive to the tourist. The figures quoted are derived from spirit levels, the first ever run. Rag Day in the United States. June the 14th, the anniversary of the adoption of the National Flag, IS celebrated as Flag Day in the public schools, and by the display of the emblem on public buildings and private houses in a large part of the Union. 10 Presidents of the United States, etc. GEORGE WASHINGTON, born in Westmorland County, Va., February 22, 1732.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT, born at New York City, Oct. 27, 1858. President, Sept. 14, 1901— 12 Crater Lake, Oregon — No Other Lake Like It. Crater Lake, Oregon, which with its surrounding mountain, made a National Park by an act signed by President Roosevelt, is being more and more talked about since attention w^as then called to its beauty. Tourists from all over the country go to see it and they come away enthusiastic. Crater Lake, Deep Blue Lake, Hole-in-the-Ground, Lake Mystery, and Lake Majesty— it has been called each in turn. There is no other lake like it in this country and probably none in the world. White men first visted it in 1853, and ever since then it has been talked about as a national wonder by the comparatively few who have seen it. It was made at some far distant date when Mount Mazama, a peak in the Cascade Mountians in southern Oregon towering 15,000 feet above the sea level, was shaken by some volcanic force so that the upper part of the mountain sank within itself. Seventeen cubic miles of matter disappeared. Where, no one knows. That part of the mountain above timber line, or 8,000 feet elevation, entirely disappeared, carrying with it 4,000 feet of the inside and leaving only a great cauldron, a mere shell of a great mountain. In the course of time water flowed into this cauldron from an un- known source and filled it half full, and now there is Crater Lake, 2,000 feet deep, with almost perpendicular walls nearly as tall on all sides, the surface 6,239 ^^^^ above sea level. On the southwest side of the lake is a circular island, or cinder cone, 845 feet high, and known as Wizard Island. In its top is an extinct crater 500 feet in diameter and 100 feet deep. On the southeast side is a jagged rock two or three hundred feet high, known as the Phan- tom Ship. These are the only islands in the lake. The water is marvelously clear, and looking upon it from the cliffs, or from a boat, it is blue beyond description. When its surface is unruffled by \vind it reflects the surrounding walls and the heavens like a plate-glass mirror. A man who recently rowed out on its surface at night, when there was a full moon and clear sky, came back telling of the uncanny feeling he had had. ' 'The full moon glowed above," he said, "and a full moon below. A vast ball of the uni- verse was around and about me with the earth left out, and I suspended in the centre, felt my hair rise. I had to shake the boat to spoil the picture and feel myself really safe." First Printing Press The first Printing Press used in the United States was intro- duced in 1629 First newspaper advertisement appeared in 1653.. 13 Where Four States Meet. In the United States there is but one "four corners," where four States and Territories join. More than this, it is the only- place of its kind in the world. This point, upon a spur of the Carizo Mountains, is the one where Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona join. At no other place on the globe do we find four States, Territories or provinces uniting to form such a junction. This spot is not easy of access and few tourists ever see it, yet a monument stands at the point, erected by United States surveyors and inscribed with the names of the States and Territories whose boundaries meet there. The point is reached by a trail from the road leading from Navajo Springs in Colorado, in the Ute Indian Reservation, to the San Juan River. The trail leaves the road crosses the river near Scott's trading-post in Utah, and leads to the monument, which is of the usual type erected by Government surveyors to mark State corners. A former monument was de- stroyed a few years ago by Navajo Indians and only the cairn of rocks was left, but recently another surveying party visited the spot and rebuilt the monument. The Largest Tree on Earth in California. What proves to be the largest tree yet found among the giant forest throng of California, already famed in song and story, has recently been discovered in a wild, unfrequented nook of the State. The tree which goes to the head of the list of California's "big trees' measures 109 feet in circumference, giving it a diameter of 33 feet, surpassing the giants General Grant, in the General Grant National Park, and General Sherman, in the Sequoia Na- tional Park. The new discovery is a sequoia gigantea semper virens — that's what, the learned say. For untold centuries it has reared its stately form in the region now called Fresno County, just back of Millwood, three miles from Converse Basin, ten miles from the General Grant National Park. There is no record of any larger tree standing in any of the California forests. It has been asserted that there are some trees in the South Calaveras grove which possess a diameter of thirty- four feet, but these measurements seem to have been made around the base on the ground. The largest measurement re- corded by Prof . Whitney was 29.5 feet in diameter at the base, the tree yielding these figures being in the Mariposa grove. 14 South Dakota's "Wind Cave. The good people of South Dakota regard Wind Cave as the tenth wonder of the world. From surface indications it would seem that a large part of the State is hollow, and the extent of Wind Cave is unknown. It was discovered in 1877 by a noto- rious character known as "Lame Johnny," who distinguished himself on several occasions by holding up the Deadwood stage and ambushing caravans of unwary travellers. His lack of pru- dence in one these adventures resulted in a " neck-tie party " which ended Johnny's career, so that he was not able to profit by his discovery. J. B. McDonald rediscovered the phenomenon in 1884 by finding a large gap in the plain through which wind was pouring out with great force, like the draught of a chimney. There are similar vent holes at frequent intervals over the prairie, and the people of that neighborhood claim that several have been opened within the last few years. The cave is divided into chambers. It is asserted that more than 3,000 different rooms have already been discovered, varying in size from twelve feet in diamenter to over three acres, and this is believed to be only a small portion of the cavern. The cave ceiling is not so high as that of Mammoth Cave, and the geologic formations are not as wonderful as those of Luray, but it has many attractions, and one in particular, the dryness of the atmos- phere — which is said to afford instant and complete relief to asth- matic people. The temperature of the cave is about 45 degrees the year round, being unaffected by the variations of the ther- mometer outside, but the variations of the barometer are sharply perceptible. "When the mercury rises on the outside a current of air flows into the cave and follows a certain direction. When the glass falls this current changes and the air flows in another direction. This phenomenon has not been studied by competent meteorologists, but is so apparent that it attracted the attention of the early explorers of the canon. The effect of the air of the cave upon asthmatic people is equally peculiar. A sufferer from that disease finds immediate relief upon entering the cave, and there will be no return of the trouble for several days after. This has suggested the possibilty of a permanent cure for such as can have the privilege of visiting the cave frequently, and a hotel is planned for their accommo- dation. 15 The Liberty Bell. The order for the bell was given in 1751. The State House of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, work on which had been suspended for a number of years, was then approaching completion. The lower floors were already occupied by the Supreme Court in the chamber, while in the other assembled the Freemen of the Pro- vince of Pennsylvania, then consisting of one body. A com- mittee was appointed by the Freemen, with Peter Norris as chair- man and empowered to have a new bell cast for the building. The commission for the bell was in the same year awarded to Robert Charles, of London, the specification being that the bell should weigh about 2,000 pounds and cost one hundred pounds sterling. It was to be made by the best workmen, to be ex- amined carefully before being shipped, and to contain, in well- shaped letters around it, the inscription: " By order of the Pro- vince of Pennsylvania, for the State House in the city of Philadelphia, 1752." An order was given to place underneath this the fatal and prophetic words from Leviticus xxv, 10: "Proclaim liberty throughout the land and to all the inhabitants thereof." The reason for the selection of this text has been a subject of much conjecture, but the true reason is apparent when the full text is read. It is as follows : " And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land and to all the in- habitants thereof." In selecting the text the good Quakers had in memory the arrival of William Penn their forefathers more than half a century before. In August 1752, the bell arrived, but though in apparent good order, it was cracked by a stroke of the clapper while being tested. It could not be sent back, as the captain of the vessel who had brought it over could not take it on board. Two skillful men understood to recast the bell, which, on being opened revealed a bell which pleased very much. But it was also found to be defective. The original bell was considered to high, and a quantity of copper was added to the composition, but too much copper was added. There were a great many witticisms on account of the second failure, and the ingenious workmen undertook to recast the bell, which they successfully did, and it was placed m condition in June 1753. On Monday, the 8th July (not the 4th), at noon true to its motto, it rang out the memorable message of " Liberty through- out the land and to all the inhabitants thereof." For fifty years the bell continued to be rung on every festival and anniversary 16 The Liberty Bell — continued. until it eventually cracked. An ineffectual attempt was made to cause it to continue serviceable by enlarging the cause of its dit- sonance and chipping the edges. It was removed from its position in the tower to the lower story, and only used on occasions of public sorrow, such as the death of ex-Presidents and statesmen. Subsequently it was placed on the original timbers in the vesti- bule of the State House, and in 1873 it was suspended in a prominent position immediately beneath where a larger bell pre- sented to the city in 1866 now proclaims the passing hours. The "Washington Monument. The corner-stone was laid by President Polk, July 4, 1848, and December 6, 1884, the cap-stone was set in position. The founda- tions are 126)4 feet square and 36 feet 8 inches deep. The base of the monument is 55 feet 1)4 inches square, and the walls 15 feet ^ inch thick. At the 500 foot mark, where the pyramidal top begins, the shaft is 34 feet 5)4 inches square and the walls are 18 inches thick. The monument is made of blocks of marble 2 feet thick, it is said there are over 18,000 of them. The height above the ground is 555 feet. The mean pressure of the monu- ment is 5 tons per square foot and the total weight foundation and all, is nearly 81,000 tons. The door at the base, facing the capitol, is 8 feet wide and 16 feet high, and enters a room 25 feet square, an immense iron framework supports the machinery of the elevator, which is hoisted with steel wire ropes two inches thick. At one side begins the stairs, of which there are 50 flights, containing 18 steps each. Five hundred and twenty feet from the base there are eight windows, 18x24 inches, two on each face. The area at the base of the pyramidal top is 1,181 X ^^^t, space enough for a six-room house, each room to be 12x16 feet. The Washington monument is the highest permanent structure in the world. It cost about $1 , 500, 000. Devil's Tower— One of Wyoming's Wonders. Mato-Teepee, or Devil's Tower, stands 500 feet above Belle Fourche River, in Northeastern Wyoming. Rising 600 feet, it is visible 40 miles away. From a point near by, its formation im- presses one strangely, the tower being one of the most curious natural objects in the State. 17 The Yellowstone National Park. The Yellowstone National Park is rightly termed the American Wonderland, for there may be found grand and unique scenic features in the richest profusion. The reservation known as the Yellowstone National Park, set apart for public uses by an act of Congress passed in 1872, covers a tract of about 65 miles in length, from north to south, and about 55 miles in width from east to west, lying chiefly in Northwestern Wyoming, and overlapping to a small extent the boundaries of Montana on the north and Idaho on the west. This gives an area of about 3,350 square miles, a tract of land that is nearly the area of Rhode Island and Delaware combined, and nearly half as large as the State of Massachusetts. The Rocky Mountain chain across the southwestern portion is an irregular line, leaving by far the greater expanse on the eastern side. The least elevation of any of the narrow valleys is 6,000 feet and some of them are from 1,000 to 2,000 feet higher. The mountain ranges which hem in these valleys are from 10,000 to upward of 11,000 feet in height, and Electric Peak (in the northwest corner of the park, not far back of Mammoth Hot Springs) has an elevation of 11,155 feet, and Mount Langford and Turret Mountain (both in the Yellow- stone Range) reaching the height of 11,155 and 11,142 feet re- spectively. There are three great centres of attraction : the Mammoth Hot Springs, the geysers and springs of the Upper Basin of the Fire- hole River, and the beautiful canyon of the Yellowstone. The Mammoth Hot Springs are constantly building on the ruins of ancient spring formations, terraces, galleries and fretted walls of exquisite beauty, with pure white and soft and lovely tints. The pools are of the deepest azure and wonderful transparency. In the geyser region the view from Willow Park, a plateau 7,000 feet high, near which is Electric Peak, is grand. Hot springs, '' mud-pots " and '' paint-pots" may here be seen. At one point the roadway runs beside a cliff of obsidian or volcanic glass 200 feet high, which glisten in the sunlight like stacks of glass bottles. In the Upper Geyser Basin are seen huge fountains of scalding- hot water. Over 4,000 hot-spring pools are known to exist. Yellowstone Lake, 140 square miles in extent, lays amid the mountains 7,000 feet above the sea. The Great Canyon of the Yellowstone and the Great Falls of the Yellowstone River are features that no pen can describe. 18 Standard Time. Primarily, for the convenience of the Railroads in the United States, a standard of time was established by mutual agreement in 1883, by which trains are run and local time regulated. The day the change of time in the United States went into effect was November 18, 1883. There were previous to that time 58 kinds of time used by Railroads in the United States, now there are only four kinds of time in use by Railroads in the United States. They are Eastern time. Central time, Mountain time, and Western time. EASTERN TIME Is the local time of the 75th Meridian from Greenwich. The Meridian (like all Meridians of Longitude, running from one pole to the other) passes a few miles east of Philadelphia, so that Eastern time differs only 38 seconds from Philadelphia local time. Eastern time covers a strip 15 degrees wide, extending 7^ degrees on each side of the 75th meridian, reaching from the eastern part of Maine to the vicinity of Detroit, Mich. The time in Boston, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, and all places in this area is the same. CENTRAL TIME Is the local time of the 90th Meridian. This time prevails over similar area of 15 degrees of longitude, and is just one hour slower than Eastern time. It commences in the vicinity of Detroit, Mich., and extends to the vicinity of Yankton and Austin. The time at Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, vSt. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, and all places in the area is the same. MOUNTAIN TIME Covers the area of 15 dgs. of longitude next to the west. It is local time of the 105th Meridian, which passes through or near the city of Denver. This time is one hour slower than Central time, and extends from Yankton and Austin on the east, to the vicinity of Salt Lake City on the west. The time in all places in this area is the same. WESTERN TIME Is the local time of the 120th Meridian, and covers all west of 112^ degrees of longitude, which commences in the vicinity of Salt Lake City on the east, and extends west into the Pacific Ocean. This time is one hour slower than Mountain Time. The time at Huntington, Walla Walla, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Ore. , and all places in this area is the same. 19 First New York and Brooklyn Bridge. First talked of by Colonel Julius W. Adams about 1855. Act of incorporation passed April, 1866. Survey begun by John A. Roebling, 1869. Construction begun January 2, 1870. First rope thrown across the river August 14, 1876.

Depth of the Brooklyn foundation below high water mark, 45 feet. The New York tower contains 46,945 cubic yards of masonry ; the Brooklyn tower, 38,214. Weight of the Brooklyn tower, about 93,079 tons. Weight of the New York tower, about a third more. Size of the towers at high water line, 140x59 feet ; at roof course, 136x53 feet. Height of the towers above high water mark, 276 feet 6 inches. Height of roadway in the clear in the middle of the East River, 135 feet. Grade of the road- way 3 feet 3 inches to 100 feet. Width of the promenade in the center of bridge, 16 feet 7 inches. Width for railway on one side of the promenade, 12 feet 10 inches. Width of carriage way, on the other side of the promenade, 18 feet 9 inches. Width of bridge 85 feet. Length of main span, 1,595 feet 6 inches. Length of each land span, 930 feet. Length of the Brooklyn approach, 971 feet. Length of the New York approach, 1,560 feet. Length of each of the four great cables, 3,578 feet 6 inches; diameter, 15^ inches; number of steel galvanized wires in each cable, 5,434; weight of each cable, about 800 tons. Ulti- mate strength of each cable, 15,000 tons. Weight of steel in the suspended superstructure, 10,000 tons. Total cost, 15,000,000 dollars. Opened for traffic in 1883. State Capitol Building at Albany, N. Y. It was decided to erect the New Capitol on the first day of May, 1865. On the ninth day of December, 1867, the work of excavation commenced, and proceeded to a depth of 16 feet be- low the surface. On the seventh day of July, 1869, the first stone in the foundation was laid. The Corner-stone was laid on the twenty-fourth day of June, 1871. The size is 300 feet north and south, by 400 feet east and west, with the porticos will cover three acres and 7 square feet. The walls are 108 feet high from the water table. Total cost of the building up to January 1, 1903, was $24,265,082. It is estimated that it will cost at least $2,000,000 more to complete it. It is without doubt the finest building in the world. 20 The Gettsyburg (Penn.) Battlefield. The Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association has done a magnificent work, and a work whose importance, perhaps, has hardly been estimated aright up to this time. Under the foster- ing care of so many of the States of the Union, the long extended "Federal battle lines have, under their management, been peopled by a multitude of imperishable shafts in granite and bronze. In the spring of 18T9 the first memorial was erected, now there are hundreds and hundreds of them. They mark the spots where fell gallant officers ; where regiments made a daring charge ; they tell where each corps, division, brigade, regiment and battery was stationed on the three days of fearful struggle, each telling in eloquent and pathetic story the purchase price of national unity and lasting peace. In 1895 the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association trans- ferred its grounds (about 850 acres), together with its beautiful monuments and memorials, erected by a grateful people, to the care and protection of the general grovernment. The battlefield in the hands of the United States has been made (by Act of Con- gress, 1895) a " National Park;" a park only in the sense of its be- ing restored to the condition in which it was at the time of the battle. A United States battlefield commission has been ap- pointed (three members), under whose supervision there has been opened up magnificent Telford avenues along the Federal and Confederate battle lines ; marking (with Bronze Tablets) the po- sition of every corps, divisions, brigade, regiment and battery in the Confederate army, so that it is now possible for the tourist to visit the locations of the troops of both armies, and to intelligently examine and understand them. There is no spot in the world connected with more memorably events than the thirty-five square miles of ground which wit- nessed the terrible conflict between the Federal and Confederate troops at Gettysburg, Pa., on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, July 1st, 2d and 3d, 1863. The Federal Army, commanded by General George G. Meade, numbered about 90,000 men of all arms, and 354 pieces of artillery. Gen. Meade's fighting strength was 85,000 men. The Confederate Army, commanded by Gen. Robert E. Lee, numbered about 86,000 men of all arms, and 265 cannons. General Lee's fighting strength was 72,000 men. The first day's battles occurred west and north of Gettysburg. The second day's battles, southeast, south and southwest. The 21 The Gettysburg (Penn.) Battlefield — continued. third day's battles, east, southeast, south and southwest of Get- tysburg. Over 150,000 soldiers were engaged. About 40,000 men were stricken down. The Battlefield covers an area of 35 to 40 square miles. The work of surveying the Gettysburg battlefield was in progress three days after the battle, and it is the only accurately marked battlefield in the world. About 450 artistic regimental and brigade monuments and memorials, many eques- trian statues and bronze figures have been erected. Breastworks, stone walls, lunettes and shattered trees still remain. Over 350 cannon has been placed in actual position. Five steel and iron observatories, 60 ft. and 75 ft. high have been erected. It has the most beautiful Soldiers' National Cemetery, containing 3,633 Federal soldiers bodies, of which 1,632 are unknown. The Natural Bridge, Va. This wonderful structure overlooks the James River Valley, being on the western slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains and at the center of the State of Virginia. Height, 215 feet ; width, 100 feet; span, 90 feet. The bridge connects two of the five round- top mountains that rise boldly from the great Valley of Virginia, near the confluence of James and North Rivers. It ranks among the great wonders of the world. It approaches Niagara in grandeur and exceeds it in height and awful mystery. It is a single block of limestone, with many shades of color. The walls are smooth as if cut with chisels, and there is no sign of displace- ment. Under it "men look like boys and trees like bushes." Washington, when a surveyor for Lord Fairfax, visited it, and carved his name where it may now be seen. During the Revolu- tion the French organized two expeditions to visit it. From their measurements and diagrams a picture was made in Paris, which for nearly half a century was copied in Europe and America as correct. The place was much visited when first dis- covered. Marshall, Monroe, Clay, Benton, Jackson, Van Buren, Sam Houston, and others were registered there. The original Bridge tract was granted by King George III to Thomas Jeffer- son in 1774. After he was President he visited the place, sur- veyed it, and made the map with his own hands. Clay wrote of ' • the bridge not made with hands, that spans a river, carries a highway, and makes two mountains one." Jefferson spoke of it as " a famous place, that will draw the attention of the world." 22 The Caverns of Luray, Va. Situated at Luray, Page County, Virginia, in the famous Shenandoah Valley, on the line of the Norfolk and Western Rail- way, in a region renowned for the picturesqueness of its scenery, and celebrated for its historical associations, are the Caverns of Luray, The caves were discovered in 1878, and shortly there- after were opened to the public. The full extent of the sub- terranean depths was not then known, or even dreamed of, and not until thoroughly equipped exploring parties had penetrated seemingly endless chambers and labyrinthine passages were their boundless riches disclosed and made accessible to visitors. Persons from all quarters of the globe — scientists, explorers and tourists, have wandered through the wonderful chambers, and the general verdict of their united testimony is that the Luray Caverns excel all others in variety, scientific interest and beauty of their calcite formations. A party sent from the Smithsonian Institute reported that ' ' comparing this great natural curiosity with others of the same class, it is safe to say that there is proba- bly no other cave in the world more completely and profusely decorated with stalactitic and stalagmitic ornamentation than that of Luray." Cement walks have been laid, stairways, bridges and iron railings have been erected where such help was neces- sary, and the entire cavern is illuminated by electric lights. The interior is singularly free from dampness or dripping water, and no special preparation for a visit is needed in the matter of clothing. The temperature of the cave is, winter and summer, at about 40 degrees. Entering the grand' vestibule, the first emotion felt by the visi- tor is one of mute wonder. The mind fails to grasp the grandeur revealed in such a majestic manner, until it gradually accustoms itself to the monstrous shapes, the almost perceptible silence and the weird influence of this subterranean realm. Queer shapes present themselves at every turn, aping grotesquely the objects of the outer world, now suggesting some growth of animal life, now resembling some familiar vegetable formation, or taking the shape and form of some creation of man. Glittering stalactites blaze in front, fluted columns, draperies in broad folds and a thou- sand tints, cascades of snow white stone, etc., fill the mind with wonder and admiration. Almost every object in nature is repro- duced in startling similarity. A number of small, but beautiful lakes, are found in various parts of the cavern. 23 The Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. It was about 1802 when the Mammoth Cave, in Edmonson County, Kentucky, was discovered in a romantic ravine. There are seemingly endless avenues, galleries, grottos, and labyrinths aggregating over 150 miles in length, with lofty halls, and a navi- gable river. It is strange to relate that its first exploitation was connected with mercenary motives and that saltpetre, intended for use in gunpowder and connected with the war of 1812, was the incentive that led to more complete examination. The men who mined the soft soil, rich in nitre, are the men who first gave to the outside world any reliable information of the great extent of this now famous world's wonder. Albeit their stories savored of the wonderful to an extent that many pronounced them roman- ces, a knowledge of the cave that was really quite exact became common property, and the immense cavern soon took its place among the great natural features of the earth, and will never cease to attract visitors of every degree and from every land. A visit to Mammoth Cave constitutes a unique experience in one's search of pleasure and the marvelous. From the moment of arrival at the quaint old hostelry, which dates far back toward the beginning of the century that is really a part of the history of the cavern, to the last backward look which is always given when the top of the rough stairway of rock, at the entrance, is reached on the return from the depths, there is continuous sur- prise, new experience, and pleasant memories. It is impossible to mention, less possible to describe, all the object of interest to visitors in this most gigantic cavern of the world. Visitors to the Mammoth Cave are most impressed with the lofty domes and deep pits which are found in some portions of this underground domain. The best known are Gorin's Dome, the Bottomless Pit, Mammoth Dome, and Scylla and Charybodis. Fairy Grotto, Gothic Avenue, Martha's Vineyard, Giant's Coffin, Echo River, Dead Sea, Star Chamber, Corkscrew, The Standing Rocks, Pass of El Ghor, Rotunda, Audubon's Avenue, Green River, Lover's Leap, Caesar and Pompey, the Pillary of Hercules, Oak Tree, the Bridal Chamber, Elephant's Head, Wasps' Nests, Stalactites, etc., are some of the other features of the cavern. The Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is near the main line of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, ninety miles south of Louis- ville, Ky., and reached by a branch railroad which goes direct to the cave from Glasgow Junction. 24 Highest Mountain or Land in each State.

The Egyptian Oloelisk in Central Park, Uew York City. The Egyptian Obelisk was presented to the city of New York by the Kedive of Egypt. Lieut. Commander Gorringe, U. S. N., after three years' struggle obtained possession of the Obelisk, and moved it to its present position in Central Park, New York city, at an expense of nearly $100,000. It was finally swung into position at noon, January 22, 1881. The height of the Obelisk, from base to tip, is 69 feet 2 inches. The measurement of the base, square through its axis, is 7 feet 8^-^ inches. The entire weight of the monolith is 219ji|f tons. Since it was quarried near the torrid zone, it has traversed the entire length of Egypt, most of that of the Mediterranean Sea, and the whole width of the Atlantic Ocean — a distance of 6,400 miles, proving itself a first- rate sailor for an Old Salt of thirty-five centuries ; having in the course of its long existence seen Moses; Pharaoh and his host going to their destruction in the Red Sea ; Shishak marching to the Conquest of Jerusalem ; Cambyres desolating the land ; Hero- dotus, Solon, Plato, and other Greek students of Egyptian lore; Alexander the Great on his victorious expedition through the Land of Goshen ; six and a half centuries of Roman Sovereignty and Christian struggle at Alexandria ; all the long line of Moslem rulers since Caliph Omar; and now looking down upon the mill- ions of dwellers of New York city, whose site was even unknown to the Eastern world when this Obelisk had an existence of two thousand years. 26 State Capitals, Governors Salaries and Term of Of&ce. state or Territory.

Congress makes all laws for the District of Columbia. By an act of Congress approved June 11, 1878, the government ot the District of Columbia is vested in three Commissioners, two of whom are appointed by the President from citizens of the Dis- trict having had three years' residence therein immediately pre- ceding that appointment, and confirmed by the Senate. The other Commissioner is detailed by the President of the United States from the Corps of Engineers of the United States Army, and must have lineal rank senior to Captain, or be a Captain who has served at least fifteen years in the Corps of Engineers of the Army. The Commissioners appoint the subordinate official serv- ice of said goverment, make police regulations, building regu- lations, plumbing regulations, and other regulations of a muni- cipal nature. Mason and Dizon's Line. A name given to the southern boundary line of the Free State of Pennsylvania which formerly separated it from the Slave States of Maryland and Virginia. It was run — with the excep- tion of about twenty-two miles — by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, two English mathematicians and surveyors, between Nov. 15, 1763, and Dec. 26, 1767. During the excited debate in Con- gress, in 1820, on the question of excluding slavery from Missouri, the eccentric John Randolph, of Roanoke, made great use of this phase, which was caught up and re-echoed by every newspaper in the land, and thus gained a celebrity which it still retains. 28 The American and Spanish "War Events— 1898.

There are seventy- two of the hot springs discharging about 1,000,000 gallons daily. The temperature of the hot springs varies from 90 degrees to 157 degrees, Farenheit. The largest hot springs have the highest temperature, so that the average temperature for the whole group is 135 degrees. They issue from the west side of Hot Springs Mountain. The Hot Springs of Arkansas, and 2,000 acres of land around them are owned by the United States Government, which acquired possession of them in 1832. The object of the Govern- ment was to establish a national sanitarium, and to this end the government has expended about two million dollars in parks, im- proving the mountain roads, constructing beautiful driveways, etc. The city of Hot Springs is unique. There is no other city like it in the world. It is shaped like a dumb bell ; a narrow valley in the centre between the mountains, with just room for the principal street in the city. Central Avenue, with stores and shops on the west side, and the bath houses on the east side. At each end it spreads out, on the north, into innumerable valleys with streets and residences ; on the south into a broad valley with streets and residences. It is about 1,000 feet above sea level, and the moun- tains around it on three sides are about 500 feet higher. Has a population of about 10,000, and all the appurtenances of a modern up-to-date city. It has over 100,000 visitors annually. It has upward of 100 hotels, with rates from $3.50 per week upward. In 1880 the Army and Navy General Hospital was established here for the treatment of sailors and soldiers. Generally speak- ing the following diseases are successfully treated, and cures are effected in about 90 per cent of cases treated : All diseases of the skin, blood, digestive and secretory organs, nervous affections, alcoholism, catarrh, chronic inflammation of the bladder and ure- thra, chronic ulcers, eczema, gout, hysteria, indigestion, insomnia, kidney and liver troubles, malaria, nervous prostration, neuralgia, locomotor ataxia, paralysis, phthisis, rheumatism in all forms, scrofula, stomach diseases, tobacco poisoning, etc. Chronic rheu- matism is cured in from three to eight weeks on an average. The distribution of the hot water, bath houses, etc. , are under government control, and the government fixes prices charged for baths, and also maintains free bath houses for those unable to pay, and there is also a free dispensary, with medical attendant. 32 Land and Water Area of the States and Territories. state or Territory. ^"^"'^'"^Lind^ Alabama 51,028 Alaska 575,162 Arizona 113,738 Arkansas 52,412 California 156,203 Colorado 103,669 Connecticut 4,794 Delaware 1,969 District of Columbia. . . 59 Florida 54,801 Georgia 58,850 Idaho 83,271 Illinois 56,004 Indiana 35,860 Indian Territory 30,717 Iowa 55,697 Kansas 81,848 Kentucky 39,898 Louisiana 45,399 Maine 29,894 Maryland 9,875 Massachusetts 8,038 Michigan 57,530 Minnesota 79,997 Mississippi 46,383 Missouri 68,431 Montana 146,240 Nebraska 76,777 Nevada 109,901 New Hampshire 9,056 New Jersey 7,454 Mew Mexico 122,545 New York 47,687 North Carolina 48,972 North Dakota 70,172 Ohio 40,723 Oklahoma 38,710 Oregon 95,746 Square Miles Total Square Water.

The hits seem few in number, but they w^ere sufficient to almost totally destroy the Spanish fleet. The Flag of the United States. On April 4, 1818, Congress enacted the following law, which is the law of to-day: "Section 1. Be it enacted that from and after the Fourth day of July next, the flag of the United States be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union have twenty stars, white in a blue field. "Section 2. And be it further enacted that on the admission of every new State into the Union, one star be added to the Union of the flag; and that such addition shall take effect on the Fourth of July next succeeding such admission." 35 United States Capitol Building at Washington, D. C. On July 16, 1790, "the temporary and permanent seat of the government was located," and on December 13, 1791, President Washington transmitted to Congress a brief message, in which he said: "I place before you the plan of a city that has been laid out within the district of ten miles square which was fixed upon for the permanent seat of the government of the United States." In this plan the Capitol building was located where it stands to-day, the grandest and most imposing structure of its kind in the world. The corner-stone of the Capitol building, was laid with Masonic ceremonies en the 18th day of September, 1793, by President Washington. A silver plate had the follow- ing inscription: "The southeast corner-stone of the Capitol of the United States of America, in the city of Washington, was laid on the 18th day of September, 1793, in the thirteenth year of American Independence, and in the second term of the Presi- dency of George Washington, whose virtuous administration of his country has been as conspicuous and beneficial as his military valor and prudence have been useful in establishing her liberties, and in the year of masonry 5793, by the President of the United States, in concert with the grand lodge of Maryland and several lodges under its jurisdiction and the lodge from Alexandria, Virginia." The inscription was read aloud, and then handed to President Washington, who, attended by the Grand Masters and three Worshipful Masters, laid it on the corner-stone and poured corn, oil and wine upon it. Then followed a prayer, an oration, "the thunders of artillery and the cheers of the multitude." Then came the feast. At sunset a discharge of artillery closed the day. Work was then pushed on the North wing of the build- ing, but as money and labor were scarce, this part of the Capitol was not completed until in the summer of 1800, the year named by Congress for the removal of the government from Philadelphia. The government offices were removed from Philadelphia and settled in their new quarters in Washington on June 15th. The second session of the Sixth Congress convened in the North wing of the Capitol on November 17, 1800. Work on the South wing was begun in April, 1803, and was not completed until 1808. The two wings were-used by Congress and the Senate until they were burned by the British on August 24, 1814. Up to the time of its destruction, the building had cost $787,163.28. At the commencement of the last century Washington was little 36 United States Capitol Building — continued. more than a wilderness. In a letter to a friend, Representative John Cotton Smith, of Connecticut, says: "Only one wing of the Capitol has been erected. It, and the President's house, a mile distant, are white sandstone. Pennsylvania Avenue, the whole distance, was a deep morass, covered with alder bushes, which were cut through the width of the intended avenue the en- suing winter. Of the streets and avenues on paper not one was visible, unless we except a road with two buildings on each side of it called New Jersey Avenue. There appeared to be but two really comfortable houses, in all respects, within the bounds of the city. The roads in every direction was muddy and unim- proved. A sidewalk was attempted in one instance by a covering formed of chips of the stones that had been hewn for the Capitol. It extended but a little way and was of small value, for in dry weather the sharp fragments cut our shoes and in wet covered them with mortar. A block of buildings was on the side of what was intended for Capitol Square, and was a well-kept hotel, and accommodated a goodly number of members. Our party took lodgings in one of the New Jersey Avenue houses, and Speaker Sedgwick had a room to himself, the rest of us were in pairs." What a contrast with the Capital City of to-day, with its magni- ficient public buildings, private residences, broad avenues, public parks and drives, the like of which cannot be found in any other Capital City. After the burning of the Capitol and the White House by the British in 1814, there was some discussion in Congress on the re- moval of the Capitol to some more convenient city, but Congress declined to do so, and on February 13, 1815, "the President was authorized to borrow from the banks in the district $500,000, at six per cent, to be applied to repairing and rebuilding the Capitol, President's House and Public Offices." During the year 1818, Congress appropriated $100,000 " for procuring materials, laying the foundation and other preparations for the center building of the Capitol." The two wings and the center, or main building, called the Rotunda, were completed in 1827. Its construction had cost $2,433,814, a rather large sum in those days. Gas was first used to light the Capitol and Capitol grounds in 1847, $17,500 be- ing appropriated for that purpose. The building is now lighted by electric light, the House and Senate each having its own electric plant. 37 United States Capitol Building — continued. In the later forties it became evident to Congress that the Capi- tol building would in a few years be too small to accommodate the increased membership of the House a.nd Senate. In the month of September, 1850, the Senate adopted a resolution offer- ing a premium of five hundred dollars for plans for the extension of the Capitol that should be approved by the joint committee on public buildings of the two houses of Congress. In addition to this Congress appropriated $100,000 for the extension of the Cap- itol according to such plans as may be approved by the President. The cost of this extension was $8,075,299, although the first esti- mate was for $2,675,000, and five years to complete the work. But the extensions was not completed until November, 1867. The corner-stone of the South or House extension was laid by Presi- dent Fillmore on July 4, 1851, assisted by the Grand Lodge of Masons of the District of Columbia, the Grand Master wearing the regalia worn by President Washington as Master Mason when he laid the corner-stone of the original Capitol. Daniel Webster, Secretary of State, was the orator of the occasion. An appropri- ate record of the event was deposited beneath the corner-stone. The present Dome of the Capitol was authorized by the act of March 3, 1855, an appropriation of $100,000 being made " for the removal of the Dome and the construction of one according to the plans of Thomas U. Walter, architect of the Capitol." It took nine years to complete the construction of the Dome, and its cost was $1,250,000. The next improvement to be made was the enlargement of the Capitol grounds. In March, 1860, bills were introduced in the House and Senate to enlarge the grounds, but the bills failed of consideration, and the subject was allowed to slumber for more than ten years. In the meantime sentiment in favor of the improvement was growing, and on May 2, 1872, President Grant signed the act for the enlargement of the Capitol grounds. The work of transforming the grounds into the perfect landscape garden that it is to-day, required a number of years of constant toil and expense. It is estimated that the improvement of the grounds has cost $2,000,000. The terraces and grand stair- ways were commenced in 1883, and finished a few years later. The improvement of the Capitol and the grounds goes merrily on. On an average Congress appropriates about $50,000 for annual repairs and improvements. In round figures the Capitol building cost about $16,500,000. 38 Niagara Falls. No other land on the earth's wide surface possesses an object of such grandeur and great impressiveness as Niagara Falls. From Prospect Point and Table Rock one takes in at a glance the whole of the two great falls — the American Fall and the Horseshoe Fall, or, as the latter is sometimes called, the Canadian Fall — a wall of water which is nearly a mile wide and about 160 feet high. The American Fall is about 1,050 feet in width, and about 164 feet in height, while the Horseshoe Fall is six feet less in height, or 158 feet. The width of the river is about 4,750 feet. The average depth of the river between the Fall and Rapids, is about 180 feet — corresponding nearly with the height of the banks. The Horseshoe Fall has a contour of about 3,010 feet. The green color of the Horseshoe Falls is due to its depth. All but one of the chain of the great American lakes are pouring their ceaseless floods over the precipices at the rate of 275,000 cubic feet a second. The average recession along the whole contour of the Horseshoe has been, since 1842, about 2)4 feet per year. In the center of the channel, where the bulk of the water passes, the average yearly recession is about 4^ feet. The recession of the American falls since 1842 has been slight. The State Reservation at Niagara Falls was established by an act of the Legislature of the State of New York, passed April 30, 1883, and was formally opened to the public July 15, 1885, and access to all parts of the Reservation is free of charge. In 1885 the Canadian government established a Reservation on the Cana- dian side, and to which access is free. The Gorge of the Niagara River below the Grove on the Ameri- can side and below the Steel Arch Bridge in which, about two miles below, are the famous Whirlpool Rapids, the Whirlpool and the Devil's Hole, is not within the boundaries of the State Reservation. Watkins Glen, N. Y. Watkins Glen, on the west side of Seneca Lake, in New York State, is one of the most remarkable of the many similar chasms in the United States. A small stream courses down a rugged ravine, descending 800 feet in three miles, forming innumerable pretty cascades among rocky barriers which rise to heights of several hundred feet. There are many grottos, gorges, pools and romantic nooks. 39 The Presidents in Hhyme. The first of our Presidents every one knows. For yearly the fame of George Washington grows. When eight years he'd served, John Adams served four ; Thomas Jefferson followed for eight years more. James Madison next, and then James Monroe. Each sat for two terms; next, for one term, you know, Came an Adams again, John Quincy by name. Andrew Jackson for two terms as President came. Then Martin Van Buren four years held sway. But William H. Harrison in a month passed away. Giving place to John Tyler who next took the seat, And became President, the full term to complete. James K. Polk for one term came from old Tennessee ; Then Zachary Taylor, the next one we see. But death ere two years, called him from the race, Millard Fillmore completing the term in his place. Franklin Pierce, his successor the next four years ; Then for one term James Buchanan appears, Then Abraham Lincoln, whose first term was passed In guiding our country through war's fierce blast ; But his second term hardly begins when it ends, And his murder brings grief to his millions of friends, Andrew Johnson completed the unexpired space ; Then Ulysses S. Grant for eight years held the place. Rutherford B. Hayes for one term held the chair, Though Democrats held his election unfair. James A. Garfield the people next chose as their chief, But though mourned by the country his time was but brief, For a murderer's hand shot the President dead, And Chester A. Arthur was chief in his stead. Grover Cleveland for four years next sat in the chair. When Benjamin Harrison succeeded him there, Four years in his turn, in the seat to remain, And when his term ended came Cleveland again. For William McKinley, one term's barely o'er When the people have given him four years more. Once more in our nation comes sorrow and grief, Again an assassin strikes down our chief. And Theodore Roosevelt assumes the command. The latest Executive her$ in our land. 40 Death Valley, California. There are various kinds and degrees of deserts in the United States, but the most utterly hopeless are found in the so called Great Basin, between the Rockies and the Sierras. This is a vast region of deserts, with here and there an area where Nature in prankish mood seems actually to have made an effort to produce spectacular effects of horror. From the Wasatch Mountains to the Sierra Nevada Mountain extends a ghastly stretch of territory, which is intersected by a series of high mountain ranges, running parallel north and south, with valleys between. A bird's-eye view of the landscape shows three principal ranges, two of which are known as the Amargosa and Panamint, and between these is Death Valley, so called because it is the very abode of death. Imagine a narrow strip of arid plain, shut in between two mighty mountain walls, the peaks stretching up to about 10,000 feet into a burning sky. The surface of this plain is 175 feet be- low sea level, is a mere crust of salt and alkali, through which a ridden horse breaks up to his knees into a horrid paste that eats both hair and hide. A gray haze that never lifts makes every- thing indistinct and puzzling to the view. No vegetation is to be seen save a very scanty sagebrush, with leaves that are not green, but gray, and here and there a sort of cactus that grows to five or six feet in height, with extending branches. It is called the ' ' dead man," because in the night each stalk looks like a corpse by the wayside. But the supreme horror of the place is the heat, which is unspeakable. There is a breeze, but it is so scorching hot as to blister your face. The air of Death Valley is much drier than that of the African Sahara, and the heat so great as to put the body through a sort of evaporating process such as that to which a dried apple is artificially subjected. So rapid is this evapora- tion of the body moisture that two gallons of water a day are absolutely necessary for each individual, instead of the three pints one ordinarily consumes. If one were to sit down in the valley all day long, and do nothing but drink water, he would still feel thirsty. Even with a supply of two gallons a day the blood of the traveler crossing the torrid waste becomes thickened, the features grow thin and peaked, and fever threatens madness. In crossing the valley one cannot very well carry with him more than enough water for one day's supply. The only way to do is to hurry over and try to reach a kno^vn spring in a gorge on the other side— only about fifteen miles distant— before one succumbs 41 Death Valley, California — continued. for want of drink. During the mining fever in that neighborhood, from 1872 to 1878, hundreds of people were lost in trying to get across. Death Valley is by no means so devoid of life as its aspect by daylight would lead the observer to imagine. As soon as night falls it is all aswarm with creatures of various sorts. Countless lizards come out of their burrows to look for insect prey ; snakes wriggle across the alkali crust; horned toads creep about, and scorpions and tarantulas of enormous size sharpen their claws for combat. Wildcats and coyotes forsake their lairs on the mountain sides and roam over the plain in pursuit of smaller mammals. Of birds there are very few in the neighborhood of Death Val- ley; the "chaparral cock," which prefers scorpions to any other focd, though it eats great numbers of centipedes, lizards and horned toads, is the most notable. Queer desert toads live in Death Valley, in "washes," where there is water for part of each year. When the water dries up they bore their way down deep into the mud, which hardens over them like so much brick, and stay there, buried alive, until the water comes again a few months later to release them from their baked prisons. This Is one of the most extraordinary examples of the adaptation of animal life to extreme desert conditions. The Colorado Desert —Hottest Spot on Earth. Two hundred miles south of Death Valley, in almost a straight line, is the famous Colorado Desert, which, if possible, is even more horrible than Death Valley, Cal., itself, although, of course, this includes but a small portion of the area of the State which, as a whole, is one of the most fertile in the Union. It covers 9,000 square miles, and in some parts its bottom is 230 feet below tide- water. Reliable authorities assert that this is one of the most intensely hot spots on the face of the earth ; the Sahara is nowhere compared with it. Its surface may fairly be said to be strewn with the bones of human beings who have lost their lives there. One might call this the ideal desert of the world ; in no other of the earth's most fearful wastes can be found such natural condi- tions of horror. Even the mirage, tempter of the dying traveler, reaches a more extraordinary development there than anywhere else. 42 The Yosemite Valley, California. The Yosemite Valley is vsituated in the Sierra Nevada Mouii' tains, in Mariposa County, Calif ornia, and was discovered in 1851, by a party of men known as the Mariposa Battalion, while in pur- suit of a band of Indians who had been raiding and murdering. The Yosemite Valley is about 4,000 feet above the sea. It is about ten miles long and one mile wide. Its general course is north- easterly and southwesterly. The main Merced River runs through it. In many instances the walls of the Valley are nearly vertical. The mountains surrounding it will average about 4,000 feet in height. It has numerous waterfalls, and their height runs from 350 to 3,270 feet. The Yosemite Valley is one of the grandest sights in the United States and no pen can describe it. It is a strange spot, and it contravenes, challenges, defies and over- shadows all other works of nature. Ausable Chasm, N. Y. Ausable Chasm, Clinton County, N, Y., is one of the great natural wonders of the world. A long description would be necessary to convey \n idea of the features of this Yosemite in miniature. The length of the chasm is nearly two miles. In some places it is fifty feet wide, in others it is compressed to only ten, and from one to two hundred feet deep, with sharp turns, lateral fissures, immense ampitheaters and chambers. The scenery is grand beyond description. It combines grandeur like Niagara, and excitement like the Rapids of the St. Lawrence, with the quiet beauty of its fern-covered gorges and moss-clad banks. The principal features of the Chasm are Rainbow Falls 70 feet high, Cathedral Rock 200 feet above the level of the floor, Horse Shoe Falls, Pulpit Rock, Elephant's Head, Devil's Oven, Jacob's Ladder, The Fernery, Devil's Punch Bowl, Jacob's Well, Mystic Gorge, Cape Eternity, Hyde's Cave, The Grotto, Smuggler's Pass, The Post-Office, Hanging Garden, Table Rock, The Altar. The Anvil, Cathedral Rock rising 200 feet above the level floor, and the Sentinel. A portion of the trip through can be made by boat, which, although exciting, Is attended with no danger. The boat ride compares favorably with the St. Lawrence River Rapids. There are walks, stairways and bridges constructed along the course, from which the visitors can see all points of interest. 43 Length of Navigation of the Mississippi River. The length of navigation of the Mississippi river itself for ordi' nary large steamboats is about 2, 161 miles, but small steamboats can ascend about 650 miles further. The following are its prin- cipal navigable tributaries, with miles open to navigation: Miles Miles Minnesota 295 Wisconsin 160 Chippewa 90 Rock Illinois 64 Iowa 80 350 Missouri 2,900 Yellowstone 474 Big Horn . . • 50 Ohio Monongahela 950 Allegheny 325 110 Muskingum 94 Kanawha 94 Kentucky 105 Green 200 Wabash 365 Cumberland 600 Tennessee 270 Clinch 50 Osage 302 St. Francis 180 White 779 Black 147 Little White 48 Arkansas Issaquena 884 Big Hatchie 75 161 Sunflower 271 Yazoo 228 Tallahatchie 175 Big Black 35 Red 986 Cane 54 Cypress 44 Ouachita 384 Bartholomew 100 Boeuf 55 Macon 60 Tensas 112 Atchafalya 218 Teche 91 Lafourche 168 D'Arbonne 50 The other ten navigable tributaries have less than fifty miles each of navigation. The total miles of navigation of these fifty- five streams is about 16,500 miles, or about two-thirds the distance around the world. The Mississippi and its tributaries may be estimated to possess 15.500 miles navigable to steamboats, and 20,200 miles navigable to barges. How Southern Confederate Money Depreciated. During the Civil War when the first issue of the Confederate money was scattered among the people, it commanded a slight premium. It then scaled down as follows: June, 1861 90c December 1, 1861 80c December 15, 1861 75c February 1, 1862 60c February 1, 1863 20c June, 1863 8c January. 1864 2c November, 1864 4^c January, 1865 2>^c April 1, 1865 l^c After that date it took from $800 to $1,000 in Confederate money to buy a one-doUor greenback until the end came. 44 Number of Miles from New York City to Adrian, Mich 775 Akron, Ohio 610 Albany, N.

The Treaty with Great Britain, Sept, 3, 1783, fixed the boundaries of the United States, as the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes, From this, however, was to be excluded Florida, which belonged to Spain and the part of Louisiana, east of the Mississippi. The Thirteen Colonies occupied a narrow strip along the Atlantic seaboard, embracing 318,752 square miles. If we include the Northwest, Southwest and Mississippi Territories, the whole area was about 800,000 sq. miles. In 1787 the Great Region north of the Ohio was organized into the Northwest Territory. This was slowly settled, and as late as 1819, that portion now comprising the State of Michigan, was thought to be a worthless waste. The Northwest Territory embraced the present States of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and a part of Minnesota. It belonged to New France before the French authority ceased in 1763. The British held posses- sion for twenty years, when the country was ceded to the United States. The Territory South of the Ohio River, claimed by Vir- ginia, North Carolina and Georgia, was all included in the general name of the Southwestern Territory. After the close of the Revolu- tion, Virginia and North Carolina relinquished their claims to Western lands, and their respective cessions Kentucky and Ten- nessee, were admitted into the Union. In 1800 Georgia ceded her Western lands to the United States, and the extensive tract was organized under the title of the Mississippi Territory, from which the States of Mississippi and Alabama were formed. In 1803 the Louisiana Territory was purchased of Napoleon, for $15,000 ;000, of which 2>^ million dollars was retained by the United States as a compensation for the illegal captures made by France. This extended from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains, from Mexico on the South, to British America on the North. From this immense tract of more than a million square miles, were formed the States of Louisiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming; Montana, Dakota and Indian Territories. In 1819 Florida was purchased of Spain, for five millions of dollars. The treaty then made with that Govern- ment secured not only the possession of Florida to the United States, but embraced a relinquishment on the part of Spain of all authority over the region West of the Rocky Mountains claimed by the United States, as belonging to the Louisiana purchase, but not previously acknowledged by Spain. 47 The Historical G-eography of the U. S. ~ oontinued. In 1845 Texas was annexed to the United States. In 1846 the boundaries of Oregon were settled with Great Britain. In 1848, in the treaty ot Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexico ceded to the United States, the extensive territory of California and New Mexico. In return the United States gave Mexico fifteen millions of dollars and assumed Mexican debts to the amount of three and a half (some say five) millions of dollars. In 1853, growing out of some difficulties on the boundary ques- tion, between Mexico and the United States, Gen. Gadsden pur- chased a large tract of land from Mexico, now part ot Arizona, lying South of the Gila River, for the sum of ten million of dollars. This is known as the Gadsden purchase. In 1867 Russia ceded the Territory of Alaska to the United States for the sum of seven millions of dollars. Thus our country has acquired by purchase, including that of 1803, a territory amounting to more than two millions of square miles, or more than nine times the extent of the German Empire, or more than sixteen times the size of the British Islands. The Phillipine Islands was ceded to the United States on December 10, 1898. The Philippine group, lying on the southern coast of Asia, between longitude 120 and 130 and latitude 5 and 20 approximately, number about 2,000 islands, great and small, in a land and sea area of 1,200 miles of latitude and 2,400 miles of longitude. The actual land area is about 140,000 miles. The six New England States, New York and New Jersey have about an equivalent area. The Island of Luzon, on which the capital city (Manila) is situated, is the largest member of the group, being about the size of the State of New York. Mindanao is nearly as large, but its population is much smaller. The latest estimates of areas of the largest islands are as follows: Luzon, 44,400; Min- danao, 34,000; Samar, 4,800; Panay, 4,700; Mindoro, 4,000; Leyte, 3,800; Negros, 3,300; Cebu, 2.400. Hawaii. — Hawaii was annexed to the United States by joint resolution of Congress, July 6, 1898. The area of the several islands of the Hawaiian group is as follows: Hawaii, 4,210 square miles; Maui, 760; Oahu, 600; Kauai, 590; Molokai, 270; Lanai, 150; Niihau, 97; Kahoolawe, 63. Total, 6,740 square miles. Porto Rico. — The island of Porto Rico over which the flag of the United States was raised in token of formal possession on October 18, 1898, is the most eastern of the Greater Antilles in the 48 The Historical Geography of the U. S. — continued. West Indies, and is separated on the east from the Danish Island of St. Thomas by a distance of about 50 miles, and Hayti on the west by the Mona passage, 70 miles wide. The island is a paral- lelogram in general outline, 108 miles from the east to the west, and from 37 to 43 miles across, the area being about 3,600 square miles, or somewhat less than half that of the State of New Jersey (Delaware has 2,050 square miles and Connecticut 4,990 square miles.) Guam. — The island of Guam, the largest of the Marianne or Ladrone Archipelago, was ceded by Spain to the United States by Article 2 of the Treaty of Peace concluded at Paris, December 10, 1898. It lies in a direct line from San Francisco to the southern part of the Phillipines, and is 5,200 miles from San Francisco, and 900 miles from Manila. It is about 32 miles long and 100 miles in circumference. Wake Island. — The United States flag was hoisted over Wake Island in February, 1899, by Commander Taussig, of the Benning- ton, while proceeding to Guam. It is a small island in the direct route from Hawaii to Hong Kong, about 2,000 miles from the first, and 3,000 miles from the second, The "Wedding Anniversaries.

The State of Franklin once formed in area, if not in population, an important part of the United States. It had its executive, legislative, and judicial departments, exercised governmental functions, maintained a respectable militia, flourished apace, and then, after a varied experience, completely disappeared from the • • sisterhood of States. " From historians the State of Franklin has received scant attention, and to the majority of the present gener- ation its identity with the State of Tennessee seems almost as mythical as that of Plato's Atlantis with the American continent. One desirous of dwelling on the romance of facts may find much to attract in thi5 obscure chapter of our national history. A few thousand mountaineers, in a remote wilderness, infused with the principles which inspired the Revolution, had banded together and formed a State Government of their own. With John Sevier, an ideal frontiersman, as the hero, with local self-government as the animating motive, with a variety of plots and counterplots to lend a picturesqueness of incident, with phases of comedy, inter- spersed no-w and then with the episodes truly tragic, the drama was acted out amid the motmtain regions of Tennessee. When the American Revolution broke out, what is now the State of Tennessee was an unorganized, sparsely settled territory. In 1776 its inhabitants, under the leadership of Capt. Sevier, peti- tioned the North Carolina Legislature to be annexed to that State, in order to contribute their share toward national independence. As the expenses of the war bore heavily on North Carolina, her Legislature was only too glad to divide the burden. The petition was granted, and what is now Tennessee formed part of North Carolina until the close of the Revolution. As it had now become a source of expense rather than help, the North Carolina legisla- ture in June, 1784, without consulting those most affected, ceded to the Federal Government the whole annexed territory under the name of the District of Washington, provided the Government should within two years signify its assent, The settlers, naturally objecting to such a wholesale disposition of themselves, rose up in wrath. The manner and conditions of the cession were repugnant, and the people felt that they had not only been trifled with but subjected to two years of anarchy and disorder. Calling a convention in August, 1784, they formed the 50 The State of Franklin — continued. State of Franklin. The North Carolina Legislature, realizing its error, hastened to undo its mistake, and reannexed the "Wash- ington district." The inhabitants of Franklin rejected offers for reconciliation, and Capt. Sevier, though at first inclined to advise a return of allegiance to North Carolina, yielded to an overwhelm- ing public sentiment and accepted the Governorship of the new- State. He was inaugurated at Watauga on March 1, 1785. Some sort of order was now established, at least for a time. A court was created, the militia thoroughly reorganized, and peace effected with Indians who had been carrying on a destructive warfare for a quarter of a century. But peace did not long prevail. Complications arose which kept the young State of Franklin in a constant turmoil. Congress still asserted jurisdiction. A reaction, stimulated by disappointed office-seekers, ensued among those who had been most clamorous for the new State. Jealousy of Sevier's success animated his rivals, who henceforth sought to make his life a burden. The population was divided into the Franklin and the North Carolina factions. Elections were held and appointments made under the laws of both States. Two sets of officers claimed authority, each nullifying the acts of the other. One faction would steal the public records from the other, only to be treated in like manner in turn. The courts were in a chaotic condition. Wills could not be proved, titles perfected, or justice administered. No taxes were paid. Marriages performed by officials of one faction were not recognized by the other. Still the determined young State fought for its life. It exercised even Federal power and authorized the coinage of specie, though its chief medium of exchange concxnued to be the skins of wild animals. Finally emissaries were sent to the North Carolina Legislature to make overttu-es of peace. The address of Frank- lin's representative was a model of eloquence, fervid with the rhetoric of the era. But it fell upon unheeding ears. No recog- nition would be made of the rebellious State, though North Carolina had once cut her off without her consent. The last session of the Franklin Legislature was held in Sep- tember, 1787. That there was then no intention of surrendering is evident from one of the acts of the Legislature, which has been preserved and is interesting as an example of primitive financier- ing. The law is as follows : 51 The State of Franklin — continued. ' Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Frank- lin, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same. That from the 1st day of January, 1788, the salaries of the officers of this Commonwealth be as follows, to-wit: "His Excellency the Governor, per annum, 1,000 deer skins. " His Honor the Chief Justice, 500 deer skins. •'The secretary to his Excellency the Governor, 500 raccoon skins. "Treasurer of the State, 450 raccoon skins. "Each County Clerk, 800 beaver skins. " Clerk House of Commons, 200 raccoon skins. "Member of the Assembly, per diem, 3 raccoon skins. "Justice's fee for a warrant, 1 muskrat skin. "Constable for serving a warrant, 1 mink skin. " Enacted into a law the 18th day of October, 1787, under the great seal of the State." Meantime, Governor Caswell of North Carolina, issued his proclamation declaring the Government of Franklin illegal, stig- matizing its officers and adherents as rebels, and demanding sur- render and acknowledgment of the authority of North Carolina. The Franklinites refused, and it was only when forced by a supe- rior number of troops that they yielded. The State ended its short-lived career with a sort of judicial farce. Sevier, of course, was arrested and prosecuted. During the proceedings an ardent Franklinite rushed into the presence of the Court and dramatically referred to the popular idol then on trial. In the uproar that fol- lowed Sevier walked out of the courtroom, and was not again molested. Years afterward he was elected first Governor of Tennessee. The State of Franklin was obliterated, its territory forming part of North Carolina once more, until 1790, when, under the name of the District of Washington, it was ceded to the Federal Govern- ment. June 1st, 1796, it was admitted to the Union as the State of Tennessee. Sizes of American Lakes.

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. Ceded to the United States on December 10, 1898. The Philippine group, lying on the southern coast of Asia, be- tween longitude 120 and 130 and latitude 5 and 20 approximately, number about 2,000 islands, great and small, in a land and sea area of 1,200 miles of latitude and 2,400 miles of longitude. The actual land area is about 140,000 miles. The six New England States, New York and New Jersey have about an equivalent area. The Island of Luzon, on which the capital city (Manila) is situ- ated, is the largest member of the group, being about the size of the State of New York. Mindanao is nearly as large, but its popu- lation is much smaller. The latest estimates of areas of the largest islands, are as follows: Luzon, 44,400; Mindanao, 34,000; Samar, 4,800 ; Panay, 4,700 ; Mindoro, 4,000 ; Leyte, 3,800 ; Negros, 3,300; Cebu, 2,400. The estimates of population vary from 7,500,000 to 10,000,000. A conservative estimate is 8,000,000. The late Spanish masters had never caused a census to be taken, and indeed, some parts of the islands are yet unexplored and are inhabited by tribes nearly savage. Racially the inhabitants are principally Malays. The country has been in the possession of Spain since 1565, and the religion introduced by the proprietors has long been that of the natives. The climate is one of the best known in the tropics. The islands extend from 5 deg. to 21 deg. north latitude, and Manila is in 14 deg. 35 min. The thermometer diiring July and August rarely goes below 79 deg. or above 85 deg. The extreme ranges in a year are said to be 61 deg. and 97 deg. and the annual mean 81 deg. There are three well-marked seasons, temperate and dry from November to February, hot and dry from March to May, and temperate and wet from June to October. The rainy season reaches its maximum in July and August, when the rains are con- stant and very heavy. The total rainfall has been as high as 114 inches in one year. Very little is known concerning the mineral wealth of the islands. It is stated that there are deposits of coal, petroleum, iron, lead, sulphiu-, copper, and gold in the various islands, but little or nothing has been done to develop them. A few conces- sions have been granted for working mines, but the output is not 62 Colonial Possessions of the United States— continned. THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. large. The gold is reported on Luzon, coal and petroleum on Cebu and Iloilo, and sulphur on Leyte. Although agriculture is the chief occupation of the Filipinos, yet only one-ninth of the surface is under cultivation. The soil is very fertile, and even after deducting the mountainous areas it is possible that the area of cultivation can be very largely extended and that the islands can support a population equal to that of Japan (42,000,000). The chief products are rice, corn, hemp, sugar, tobacco, cocoa- nuts and cocoa. Coffee and cotton were formerly produced in large quantities — the former for export and the latter for home consumption ; but the coffee plant has been almost exterminated by insects and the home-made cotton cloths have been driven out by the competition of those imported from England. Rice and corn are principally produced in Luzon and Mindoro and are con- sumed in the islands. The rice crop is about 765,000 tons, annually. The cocoa is raised in the southern islands, the best quality of it at Mindanao. The sugar cane is raised in the Visayas. The hemp is produced in Southern Luzon, Mindoro, the Visayas and Mindanao. It is nearly all exported in bales. Tobacco is raised in all the islands but the best quality and greatest amount in Luzon. A large amount is consumed in the islands, smoking being universal among the women as well as the men, but the best quality is exported. Cocoanuts are grown in Southern Luzon, and are used in various ways. HAWAII. Hawaii was annexed to the United States by joint resolution of Congress, July 6, 1898. The area of the several islands of the Hawaiian group is as fol- lows: Hawaii, 4,210 square miles; Maui, 760; Oahu, 600; Kauai, 590; Molokai, 270; Lanai, 150; Niihau, 97; Kahoolawe, 63. Total 6,740 square miles. At the time of the discovery of the islands by Captain Cook in 1778, the native population was about 200,000. This has steadily decreased, so that at the last census the natives numbered but 31,019, which was less than that of the Japanese and Chinese im- migrants settled in the islands. A recent census taken revealed 63 Colonial Possessions of the United States.— continued. HAWAII. a total population according to race, distributed as follows: Haw- aiians, 31,149; Part Hawaiians, 8,485; Japanese, 24,407; Chinese, 21,616; Portugese, 15,100; Americans, 3,086; British, 2,250; and the balance composed of many other nationalities. There are about 71 miles of railroad and about 250 miles of tele- graph in the islands. Honolulu, the capital, with a population of about 30,000, is lighted by electricity, and has most of the local features of an enterprising American city, The bulk of the busi- ness is done by Americans and Europeans. Of sugar, of which it is said the Hawaain Islandz are more productive in a given area than those of the West Indies, the an- nual exportation is about 600,000,000 pounds. Of coffee, the annual exportation is about 400,000 pounds; of rice, the annual exportation is about 6,000,000 pounds. In the matter of imports, nearly all the necessities of life, aside from sugar fruits and vege- tables, are imported, the products of the United States being given the preference in nearly all cases. PORTO RICO. The island of Porto Rico over which the flag of the United States was raised in token of formal possession on October 18j 1898, is the most eastern of the Greater Antilles in the West Indies and is separated on the east from the Danish island of St. Thomas by a distance of about 50 miles, and Hayti on the west by the Mona possage, 70 miles wide. Distances from San Juan, the capital, to important points, are as follows : New York, 1420 miles; Charleston, S. C. 1,250 miles: Key West, Fla., 1,050 miles; Havana, 1,000 miles. The island is a parallelogram in general outline, 108 miles from the east to the west, and from 37 to 43 miles across, the area being about 3,600 square miles, or somewhat less than half that of the State of New Jersey (Delaware has 2,050 square miles and Con- necticut 4,990 square miles.) The present population is about 900,000. Porto Rico is unusually fertile, and its dominant industries are agriculture and lumbering. In elevated regions, vegetation of the temperate zone is not unknown. There are more than 500 varieties of trees found in the forests, and the plains are full of palm, orange and other trees. The principal crops are sugar, coffee, tobacco, cotton and maize, but bananas, rice, pineapples. 64 Colonial Possessions of the United States.— continued. PORTO RICO. and many other fruits are important products. The largest article of export from Porto Rico is coffee, which is over 63 per cent of the whole. The next largest is sugar, 28 per cent. The other exports in order of amount are tobacco, honey, molasses, cattle, timber and hides. The principal minerals found in Porto Rico are gold, carbonates, and sulphides of copper, and magnetic oxide of iron in large quantities. Lignite is found at Utuado and Moca, and also yellow amber. A large variety of marbles, limestones, and other build- ing stones are deposited on the island, but these resources are very undeveloped. There are salt works at Guanica and Salinac on the south coast, and at Cape Rojo on the west, and these con- stitute the principal mineral industry in Porto Rico. There are about 300 miles of railway, and about 470 miles of telegraph lines. These connect the capital with the principal ports south and west. Submarine cables run from San Juan to St. Thomas and Jamaica. The principal cities are Ponce, 40,000 inhabitants ; Arecibo, wdth 30,000; and San Juan, the capitol, with 25,000. GUAM. The island of Guam, the largest of the Marianne or Ladrone Archipelago, was ceded by Spain to the United States by Article 2 of the Treaty of Peace concluded at Paris, December 10, 1898. It lies in a direct line from San Francisco to the southern part of the Philipines, and is 5,200 miles from San Francisco, and 900 miles from Manilla. It is about 32 miles long aRd 100 miles in circum- ference, and has a population of about 9,000, of whom about 6,000 are in Agana, the capital. The inhabitants are mostly immigrants or descendants of immigrants from the Philippines, the original race of the Ladrone islands being extinct. The prevailing lan- guage is Spanish. Nine-tenths of the islanders can read and write. The island is thickly wooded, well watered, and fertile, and pos- sesses an excellent harbor. WAKE ISLAND. The United States flag was hoisted over Wake Island in Feb- ruary 1899, by Commander Taussig of the Bennington, while proceeding to Guam. It is a small island in the direct route from Hawaii to Hong Kong, about 2,000 miles from the first, and 3,000 miles from the second. 65 Public Debt of the United States. Year. President.

Lake Cicott, Cass County, Indiana, has been an interesting phenomenon to the people of northern Indiana for many years, but the secret of its rise and fall has never been discovered. It is the only lake in Cass county and is about one mile long and one mile wide, with neither outlet or inlet that is at any time visible. The water is clear and cold and perfectly fresh. Its most mys- terious characteristic is the fact that it overflows its banks every seventh year. The farmers who own the land upon its banks have become so used to this that they never attempt to cultivate the land in the seventh year, as they know it is sure to be claimed by the waters. The Pottawattomie Indians who inhabited what is now Cass and adjoining counties were familiar with the characteristic of the lake. They believed that its bottom was inhabited by a powerful spirit, which at intervals of seven years caused the lake to over- flow. They construed this action as approval of the tribe by the spirit, and watched anxiously for the time to come, for they saw in the rising waters a sure indication that they had done nothing to displease it. The early white settlers became acquainted with the legend, and the oldest inhabitant is not able to recall a time that the overflow did not take place every seventh year. Residents of the locality say that the weather conditions have no effect upon the lake, for its rise in the seventh year takes place regardless of the fact of rain or drought. An old resident who lives on a bluff overlooking the lake, says the only apparent dif- ference between wet and dry seasons when the rise occurs is that the water appears to be colder in time of drought. What is true of the rise of the waters is also true of their recession, for they gradually disappear regardless of the amount of rainfall in the county. The phenomenon is explained on the theory that there is a sub- terranean outlet, which becomes closed in some way and is opened by the pressure of the water when the highest point is reached* every seventh year, but this is mere guesswork and nothing has ever been discovered to justify such a theory, and it is probable that the mystery will forever remain unsolved. From soundings made at various points the greatest depth that has been found in the lake is about ninety feet, when at its lowest ebb. 67 The Vastness of the United States. To those who have not traveled extensively through the United States it is not easy to form even an approximately accurate idea of the vastness of its territory. We all know in a general way its dimensions, its length and breadth ; but those figures help us little to realize how great it is in area. A recently published table, in which the relative size of the states and territories that make the Union is shown, will help some of us to a better com- prehension of the magnitude of the land that we proudly and fondly call our own. Rhode Island, being the smallest of the States, is made the unit of measurements. Its area is about 1,250 square miles. Texas, the largest State, would make no less than 212 States each equal in area to Rhode Island. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont or New Jersey, would either make six States the size of Rhode Island. The southern States range from fifty-five to twenty-five times the size of Rhode Island. Montana, would make over one hundred and eighteen States the size of Rhode Island. California would make over one hundred and twenty-six States the size of Rhode Island. Alaska, being two and one-eighth times the size of Texas, would make about 440 Rhode Islands. Illinois or Florida would either make over forty-six States the size of Rhode Island. Pennsylvania or Ohio would either make thirty-seven States the size of Rhode Island. The State of New York is about forty times as large as Rhode Island. Idaho, Minnesota, Kansas or Utah would either make sixty- seven States the size of Rhode Island. The Phillipine Islands, if they could be brought closely together, would occupy a space just about equal to the area of Arizona. Little Guam could be tucked away in one corner of Rhode Island and would leave fifteen-sixteenths of that State uncovered. The whole United States would make not less than 2,420 States of the size of Rhode Island. Then, if each of these small States had a population equal to that of Rhode Island, the total popula- tion of the country would be in round numbers, one billion and thirty-seven millions. 68 AMERICA'S FIRST REPUBLIC. It Was Not the United States, but the Republic of Louisiana. The first republic in this hemisphere to succeed in compelling recognition of its independence was, of course, the republic whose proud capital is Washington, D. C. But there was an earlier one which died soon after its birth, of which little or nothing is said in our American histories. The Louisiana Purchase Exposition must be credited with a revival of the memory of the " Republic of Louisiana," which had its tragic little existence vSome years before Patrick Henry and Sam Adams were talking about revolu- tion in the North. When France, in 1764, ceded Louisiana to Spain, the subjects of King Louis XV. objected to the transfer without their consent. The local government submitted the question to the council, which, under the lead of Nicholas Chauvin de Lafreniere, rose in revolt. Lafreniere called a convention of the people at New Orleans, while the new Spanish Governor was on his way to the colony, and the convention selected a delegate to go to Paris to dissuade the French King from his course. Louis XV., however, rebuffed the delegate and sent back word that the people must recognize the authority of Spain. It was then that the people of Louisiana resolved on a radical course. On the night of Oct. 28, 1768, the rebels took possession of the French forts and the gates of the town in the name of the Republic of Louisiana. The old French Governor offered no resistance, while the new Spanish Governor took refuge on a ship and sailed for Havana. On Oct. 29, 1768, the Council at New Orleans adopted a formal declaration of independence, officially named itself the republic of Louisiana, elected Lafreniere "Pro- tector" and prepared a written constitution. This interesting Government lasted from October, 1768, to July, 1769, when a Spanish squadron of twenty-four vessels, with an army of 2,600 men, arrived at New Orleans. The new republican State was destroyed and five republican leaders, including Lafreniere, were put to death. Then all the republic's official papers, including its declaration of independence and constitution, were burned in the public square. The Louisiana episode of 1768-69, which has never won more than a mere foot-note in history, should be of interest to the American people. Republics have somre right to our sympathy. 69 FORGOTTEN EEPUBLICS. Independent Commonwealths "Within the Dominion of the United States. Within the domain of the United States on the North American continent there have been divers independent republics, the very name of three of which is known to but a few, while the record of two others, though memorable, is fast fading. How many Ameri- cans of to-day have heard, for example, of the Commonwealth of Watauga, which in 1772 was organized as an independent com- munity by North Carolinians who had crossed the AUeghenies, and, descending into the basin of the Tennessee, had made them- selves homes in the valley of the Watauga river ? How many remember the Commonwealth of Transylvania, which was orga- nized in the eastern part of what is now Kentucky in 1775, and which sent to the Continental Congress a delegate — who, how- ever, was not admitted ? How many have heard of the short- lived State of Franklin, or Frankland,. which at a somewhat later period was self-created out of certain western counties of North Caroline ? [See pages 49, 50 and 51, for a more fuller description of State of Franklin.] Of the present generation of schoolboys at the North, not many are familiar with the early history of Texas, which declared its independence of Mexico in 1836, and which for some nine years remained an autonomous republic, entering into treaties with foreign countries, including the United States. Again, but little attention is now paid to that part of the annals of Vermont which deals with the fourteen years during which the territory bearing that name was an independent re- public, unadmitted to the union of the American colonies, although it disclaimed allegiance to the British crown, rejected the over- tures of British generals, and bore a conspicuous and useful part in the war of the Revolution. Cities that have been Capitals of the United States. Philadelphia, Lancaster and York, Pa., Baltimore and Annap- olis, Md., Princeton and Trenton, N. J. and New York City are the places at which the -Continental Congress met at various times, and during those periods were the capital of the United States. After the formation of the Constitutional Government, the capital was at various times in New York City, Philadelphia and Washington. Washington, D. C. is now the capital. 70 United States's Growth. According to the Census of 1900 the increase in the population of continental United States— that is, the United States exclusive of Alaska and the recent insular accessions — was 13,046,861, or 20.7 per cent. Only one country — Argentina — has shown by the most recent figures a more rapid rate of growth. The present rate of growth in continental United States is estimated as double the aver- age rate of Europe. It is nearly double that of Canada, and exceeds by one-sixth that of Mexico and by one-tenth that of Australia. In the decade 1890 to 1900, for the first time in our National history, the Southern States increased faster than the Northern. East of the Mississippi, however, the Northern States, as a group, have grown in the last ten years somewhat more rapidly than the Southern ; but west of that river the Southern States have in- creased almost two and one-half times as rapidly as the Northern, and it is this fact which makes the growth in the South as a whole exceed that of the North. In the North Atlantic States the rate of increase has risen steadily since the civil war, a notable con- trast to the trend in the country as a whole. The region west of the Mississippi River is still increasing faster than that east of it, but the difference between the rates of growth in the two regions, during the period from 1890 to 1900, was little more than one-fifth of what it was during the period from 1880 to 1890. The region east of the Mississippi increased more rapidly from 1890 to 1900 than from 1880 to 1890, while that west of the Mississippi increased in the later decade not much more than half as fast as in the earlier. The conclusion is drawn that the in- creased growth of the East and the decrease in the growth of the West may both be connected with a probable decline in the current of westward migration. Between 1890 and 1900 the percentage of increase in the popu- lation of all cities having at least 2,500 inhabitants was only about two-thirds of what it was between 1880 and 1890, (35.6 per cent, compared with 53.8 per cent.) The increase in the aggregate population living outside of such cities was approximately the same for the two decades, (12.4 per cent, for 1890 to 1900 and 12.9 per cent, for 1880 to 1890.) The most noteworthy result of the entire discussion, it is stated, is the cumulative evidence of the rapid approach to equality in the rates of increase of various parts of the United States. This appears whether North be compared with South, East with West, or city with country.
