An Artificial Mound of Which the Dutch Are Very Proud. It seems absurd to speak of a hill in Holland, but it the best guessers are right the name of the country is from our word "hollovs," meaning A ae- pression in the land. An American tourist, however, found at Gronigan a hill that was the showplace of the town. It was artificial. "There is a fine hill in the Planta - age," said his companion, a Hollander, "and from the summit of it you will be able to see the country for a great dis- tance around." It interested the tourist greatly to hear that there was such a thing as a hill in Holland. "But where is it?" he asked, look- ing around the interminable plain. "I can see no hill." "It is just over there, but you can- not see it for it is hidden by that bush!" The tourist ascended this fine hill, which proved to be an artificial mound not twenty feet in height, but the na- tives are very proud of it and speak of it as if it were some huge mountain. As an instance of how successfullY a Groningener is deceived by his ad- mini:don for the town hill, it may be mentioned that the tourist's Com- panion heaved a deep sigh, mopped his face and dropped as if exhausted in a chair, thoughtfully placed there bY the corporation for this object, when he reached the summit. But to do this eminence Justice it must be admitted that the hill is be- yond dispute above the level of the sea. • The Planting of a Tree. . million dollars a day merely to pay our indebtedness abroad.

Marne canal, an air-lbie distance of less than seventy-five miles. The coal fields themselves lie about Saarbrucken. They cover about seven- ty square miles-. and before the war produced some 10,000,000 tons a year. That tonnage equals a tb.ird of the an- nual coal output in France. Thus not all the Saar valley, it is evident, is a mining region. Toward the mouth of the little river are vine- yards, often planted in the beds of the former loops of the river before it carved out more direct coursen, from which came a portion of the famous Moselle wines. Moselle wines are older than the Rhine wines, Vines were .planted along the Moselle less than three cen- turies after the birth of Christ. Lat- in poet, Ansonins, sang their praises in "Moselle.," wherein he also men- tioned a royal villa whose remains are to be seen to this day at Conz.

Saarbrucken, but forty miles north- east of Metz and fort,y-iive:Mies., from the French border, was the Fort Sum- ter of the Franco-Prussian war, scene of the first and last success of the French arras in 1870 and the one brief foothold the French gained on Ger- man soil. There Napoleon II., with his son at his side, led the unprepared French forces against a vanguard of the army of Prince Frederick Charles. The Germans practiced an adroit sort of camouflage. Day by day the same soldiers would appear in different uni- forms and now caps, leading the French to believe they were opposing a much greater force than was on hand at that point. When the emperor's son fired the first mitrailleuse the war was an, the Prussians retreated in a fear hours and in Paris the victory was hailed as a smashing initial =mess. -Later it was learned that fewer than a hun- dred men were killed onboth sidee.

""4, • 4‘ I.' T., R 6041 MONTREAL "Elizabeth" is a Favorite Name In the British Navy, The name "Elizabeth" is one of the traditional names of the British Navy. There was an Elizabeth in the Fleet as early as 1514, and the name was hand- ed on from ship to ship almost with- out a break for 250 years. Then for a century it remained forgotten, until 1912, the prefix "Queen" being added in accordance with the fashion intro- duced by King Edward. Strangely enough, former Elizabeths have been associated rather with the failures than the successes of the Bra tish Navy; and. so the superstitious will wonder why the "Lizzie" was sent. to the Da,rdanellest Tiger is another example of the con- tinuity of naval nomenclature, for there has been a Tiger of some sort, fighting, chasing, blockading and cut- ting out for the last throe centuries of naval warfare in various quarters of the glebe.
