RESTORING OLD VIRGINIA Engraving at Oxford University Helps }Restoration of Ancient Capitol to Old - Time Dignity. Not long ago several sketches, of. the. Old Fort, Toronto, made by a British officer in the year 1805, were discovered in England. As the draw- ings are the only pictures of the fort of that period, they are most valuable. historically in showing the various buildings of the garrison eight years before the Americans destroyed it. Hitherto, there had been some doubt as to just whatthe fort looked like in the first decade of the nineteenth century. The sketches purchased by. Mr. Doughty of the Canadian Ar- chives, Ottawa, were, in part, repro- duced in the press at the time, and if at some future date Torontonians might desire to reconstruct the most historic landmark in that city, the drawings would furnish the inform ation desired, says an article in tate. Toronto Telegram. • In this connection it is interesting to see that 'a quaint old engraving discovered in the Bodleian Library at Oxford University is being studied Inc the re-creation of part of William-^,- burg, the aatient capital of Virginia. A research worker'engaged in obtain- ing information fur the restoration to Williamsburg by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., of much of its old Colonial dig- nity, found an engraved copper plate among the Bodleian records. This discovery has been regarded as the most important step in the entire re-- search, e-search, it seems. On the plate is engraved a view of the first capitol, known as .such, in North. America - older by far than the first capitol in Washington, which was burned down by a British force in 1814, as a return call for the burn- ing of the Parliament Buildings, York (Toronto), less than a year be- fore. Another view shows the first royal governor's palace in the former American Colonies; a third depicts the oldest academic building in the Colonies; a fourth, the first Indian school. Another shows the house of the president of William and Mary College -the latter an institution still flourishing, and from which graduated Christopher Robinson, one of the first barristers enrolled in To- ronto oronto and founder of a celebrated Canadian legal family, the fourth generation of which ie practicing in that city. The capitol, the palace and the main building of a Virginian college, which was named after William of Orange and his queen, are the three major buildings of the -restoration. For more than two years 'research Workers had sought,aecurate views of these three buildings, searching every possible' source in America and Eng- land. The Bodleian plate provided all in a single find. The discovery was made by l Miss: Mary Goodwin, of Williamsburg, and a print was immediately made from the engraving and transmitted by ra- dio to the United States. Restoration officials, however, reported that their architects, working chiefly from writ- ten records and archaeological find- lags, had prepared drawings before the discovery was made, which are now found to be almost identical with the engraved views. The plate is, nevertheless, held to be • most valu- able as corroborative evidence. Apparently no otherauthentic pic- ture of the buildings in that epoch exists,' the Oxford plate having evi- dently been prepared between 1732, when the college president's house was erected, and 1746, when the first capitol was burned. The plate.meas- ures about 15% inches by 11 inches, and is divided into three sec- tions, one of which represents some flora and fauna of the country, show- ing, among other things,a naked man smoking 'a pipe, and -specimen of that tiny marine creature, the sea horse. Brailerton Indian School, shown on the plate, was erected in 1723, and presumably amplified in the ensuing 200 years. It still stands and is still in use, though for white college pur- poses. The view of William, and Mary Colege is a front one. Erected in 1695, it is the oldest academic build- ing In the United States, and said to be the only definite example on this continent of Sir Christopher Wren's. architecture. Fire has damaged the building three times, but the walls. are largely original and the picture shows the place as it looked after the first fire of 1705. Spanish Onion. Vendors. The Spanish 'onion boy; who is of- ten a Breton, and not a Spaniard at all, maintains his picturesque occu- pation. With his persuasive tongue, velveteen jacket and long staff, bend- ing beneath strings of onions, his presence in Spain's suburban roads is not unattractive. These onion sell- ers ordinarily ply their trade from August to December, and for the rest of the time are cultivating the land' in Brittany. They are among the linguists of in- ternational commerce. Among them- selves they converse in Breton. They speak ,English with a strong accent, but fluently, as many a housewife knows when she is left a shilling poorer and with two strings of un budgetted onions' on her hands. If a prospective victim cares to air her French, they never fail in their com- pliments to madame on her excellent pronunciation -a tactful tribute most helpful to trade. Daring Lady Bandits. fA gang of .bandits, the majority of whose' members were women, has Just been broken up in Poland. The oldest of these female criminals was ander thirty -live. Not very long ago the American newspapers were featuring the ex- *loils of the "bobbed hair bandit" - a pretty girl who was responsible for a number of robberies. Women have been prominent in a number of revolts and revolutions to the Latin countries. In China some of the most' daring acts of piracy committed during last year have been the work of clangs led lay a` woraese. Posters urging quiet are being dis- tributed in New York's anti -noise 'ate.

Forty feet underground in the heart of the business district in the city of Worcester, Mass, unknown to the thousands of people who pass above them every day, there, exists an =faz- ing labyrinth of 'subterranean rooms and passages. Some thirty of the dis- mal, dungeon -like apartments - wind in and out beneath the cellars of build- ings covering several city, blocks. Built perhaps a century ago, the massive briotc walls and supporting pillars now crumbling from decay, present a picture of desolation. But: the history of these- underground apartments, as recalled by old 'resid- ents through stories they heard ie. their youth, surrounds the passages with colors of romance, adventure and 'intrigue. ',Legends .people the rooms with the gay young men of an early generation, gambling and ' drinking, far from the prying eyes of the police. One story places Jen Mase, former English heavyweight, in the largest of the roosts, and relates that the Eng- lishman fought fifty gruelling rounds before he subdued his American, op- ponent, unnamed, in bare -'fisted battle, and according to the London prize ring rules. 'The date of the construc- tion of the man-made caverns goes back to abo'l'itionist days, and there are numerous tales that they were a spin on the "underground ,railway"' which aided the slaves of the south to escape to Canada.

The King came forwarcl and greeted high in a cordial manner, welcoming hint in well- chosen English. At the luncheon the conversation was friendly and un- restrained; except that some of those present did not speak English, and the ambassador, though a hard stud- ent of Itatian and a good Latin scholar, would not trust himself to use the beautiful language of the c'ouniry, in which he later became quite fluent. ',We are farmers out here," said the King pleasantly, "'and we do not dress this way all the time. Today I am dressed to meet the ambassador £none' the United 'States." "I'm a farmer mysolf in Virginia," the attbassador replied. "I hope you. do not think I area's this 'way all the time, 'I've only put these clothes on to meet the Ring Of Italy."
