STHENRY FLAINDEALER, <xmm C&LANDtilttij gualiiiway la ala»d of romance, but of a burgberlsh solid sort, the rory antipodes of the romance of the sunny Eaat. Dutch romance Is the child of In­ dustry, enterprise, dodged courage, fogs and waterways, and its great days fell within the limits of the seventeenth century. Then ships of Holland sailed all the seven seas and brought home wealth and tales of adventure. Then its sailors harmpered at ...the arctic ice-pack and pushed their trade among tropical spice island*. Then it was that De Ruyter sailed up the Thames with a broom #t his masthead; then, too, that Rembrandt painted and Vondel rhymed. That 4/- •' { also for Holland was a great building age, when Prosperity caused cities to grow, canals to be dug, ports to be built, and the multiplex activity- ^ of Dutchmen to manifest itself in all kinds of 'i. ^ makings and shapings upon the surface "of their ^ amphibious land--half earth, half water. Thus ^ It is the Holland of Rembrandt's day and there­ of about that remains most interesting to the trav- fc:." eler, and it is the buildings then erected that are most worthy of study and presentation within ^ her towns. Amsterdam, when Rembrandt went to settle there about 1631, was passing architecturally through a period of transition. The small core of the city, where everything was on a small scale, still retained many remnants of the me- dieval age. The canals in it were narrow, the ^ i accommodation for ships was exiguous. A grow- |§1 C, In? population and expanding trade were finding I A.'v themselves horribly cramped. Amsterdam grew like an onion, by layers sur­ rounding layers about a center. From time to time new rings of canals were added, with radial connections, and then more rings outside them. Of course fortified walls were erected round the •<]- whole at different dates, but they never lasted for II;. long and had to be replaced by new circuits as the city expanded. The moat of each new circuit , became a canal within the next. Those who were responsible for the important changes made at the beginning of the seventeenth century had the good sense not to destroy every memorial of medieval /days. In particular they spared some of the old fortification towers, applying them to a new purpose and refitting them accordingly. Thus the tower called Montelbaanstoren, which still stands by the old Sehans, one of the largest J. basins of the earlier canal system, was a part of ^'f- the medieval fortifications. They turned it into a picturesque bell tower by the addition of a superstructure set up in the year 1606. Though this was done before Rembrandt's day, he omitted the steeple in an admirable drawing he made of it, thus giving one among countless instances that might be cited, of his attachment rather to the past than to the coming taste of the people of his day. The only other high tower at Am­ sterdam drawn by him was the Westertoren or tower of the Westerkerk on the Prinsengracht, which unfortunately, we cannot produce in this place. That tower was a favorite with the folk of Amsterdam, and I have more than once found it referred to, in narratives of Dutch exploration, aa a measure of height, as, for instance, when a glacier cliff is said to have stood out of the sea about as high as the Westertoren. It is a storied tower, composed of four retreating rectangular stages, each with columns at the angles, not unlike some of Wren's towers in the city of Lon­ don. The Westertoren. however, carries us down rather too, late, when Palladian Ideas were af­ fecting Dutch architects. This was a feature yt .the change of taste, which made the art of Rem­ brandt old fashioned and terminated his pros­ perity. The Mint tower of 1640, and the others shown In our illustrations, are examples of Am­ sterdam steeple architecture of Rembrandt's own generation. If they must be called fantastic they are certainly picturesque, and admirably suited to enliven a canal vista or to poke up out of a foreground of crow-stepped gables. These are the typically Dutch towers, these buildings of the great days of Dutch romance. EajHer towers we can find in Holland, but they are Gothic, and re-echo the style elaborated In Prance. France also set the key of architectural style In the eighteenth century. In the seven­ teenth century Holland stood on her own feet, and other folk Imitated the work of her artists. The Dutch style affected England; it was Imi­ tated in the remarkable buildings erected in Den­ mark for Christian IV. It penetrated to the ends of the earth. It went with Dutch adventurers to New York, to Ceylon, to the Cape of Good Hope, where examples of it may still be hunted out by patient searching:. Our Illustrations include a few of the earlier towers of Holland, about which a word or two must be said. Here, for instance, are the Cathe­ dral and one of the medieval gates of Maastricht, neither of them in any sense characteristically Dutch, for the Holland that the world admires was created in the fire of the Reformation wars. The cathedral church of St. Servatius at Maas­ tricht is of early Christian foundation, and it is even claimed that portions of the existing walls date back to the sixth century. The building as we *see it, however, is a great romanesque church of Rhenish style, with restored eleventh century towers at the angles of its apse and a later Gothic bell tower adjacent to a side aisle. Utrecht and Delft have bell towers of a like kind, the upper story being many-sided and many- gabled. Another such tower is in Paradise itself. If we are to believe Hubert Van Eyck's picture of that delectable land, the famous altarplece still at Ghent, unless the Germans have carried it off. Medieval Maastricht was not a large place. The Cathedral was in the center of it; not more than five hundred yards away are the remains of the city walls of 1290. The exigencies of war make the military architecture of a given date everywhere much the same. Thus the tower- flanked south gate of Maastricht is not different In*design from many another that can be found In the old cities of Europe. But though it had i •>v; * & namTr,. TtM7r3rQzvsw;jurjtxzvwsr little individuality to start with, the adventures and patchings of-time have endued it with a picturesqueness of its own. The builders gave It practically no decoration, but such solid works receive all they need from the hand of time, which adds detail with unerring taste. The plainer an edifice may have been to start with, the better time adorns it. provided it has been built with sound materials, good workmanship and in good proportions. Most of England's noblest castles must have looked gaunt and even (to contemporary eyes) ugly. To the Saxon citizens pf London the White (doubtless whitewashed) tower can hardly have conveyed esthetic pleas­ ure. But time has even decorated Norman cas­ tles, so that not the baldest modern sky-scraper need despair of future admiration if It can hold itself end up long enough. •" Amersfoort tower is anything rather than plain. On the contrary, it is in the Gothic style tending towards flamboyant, while its general design is of the type of the tower at Utrecht, which, indeed, being only fourteen miles away, doubtless sug­ gested it. That was built during the middle half of the fourteenth century, Amersfoort at -the very end of the fifteenth. Both have the open octagonal top story already described. Utrecht is 338 feet high, Amersfoort 312 feet. The latter is considered to be the finest Gothic tower in Hol­ land. I suppose it to have been surmounted or intended to be surmounted by a plain spire, but the present bulbous top and open-work crown were put on in 1655. Where did Holland get Its taste for these bulbs? She did not have a mo\ nopoly of them, for they are numerous enough In Germany and even In Switzerland. An oriental original probably suggested tbem. The Amers­ foort church was built in the fourteenth century, and the tower ftiay well have been projected from the first. An explosion damaged the building, but the damage was made good and the tower for­ tunately escaped. Few tourists stop at Amersfoort. but plenty of them can see the tower from the train on their way eastward from Amsterdam. The summit of It looks northward far away over the Zuyder ZeQ. and in every other direction over a country as flat as water. There was some fun In building high towers in Holland, they could be seen from so far away. Amersfoort can hail Utrecht on any clear day. and both of them Rhenen (I imagine), which Rembrandt sketehed. Anyone who has landed at Flushing, and pro­ ceeded thence anywhlther by train, has been carried for the first few miles over the am­ phibious region of the island of Walcheren. He has passed Middelburg and presently, if he looked away off to the left, he will have seen, at a dis­ tance of two or three miles, the little town of Veere. Both are old towns and highly plotttr-. esque. So indeed Durer recorded them to be when he visited them in the cold December of 1520. "Middelburg," he said, "is a good town, a fine place for sketching. It has a beautiful town hall with a fine tower. There is much art shown in all things here." All he has to say about Veere is that "It Is a fine little town where lie ships from all lands." The object of Durer's unfor­ tunate winter journey to the islands of Zeeland was not, however, to see towers and town halls, but to satisfy his insatiable curiosity atout natural history. He wanted to make a drawing of a whale that had been stranded in those parts. Such curiosity in the case of men like Durer and Leonardo is the first indication we possess of the approach of the age of science. The whale had been washed away before Durer's <OT3> juygrzSFOazzr arrival, so the drawing was never made, but a chill that he caught on this journey laid the foun­ dations of the illness which eventually carried him off. The town hall of Middelburg and its fine tower were new buildings when he saw them. The town hall and tower of Veere were some forty years older, having been built about 1470 by A. Keldermans the elder, though the statues on the facade were not added till after Durer's visit. Unfortunately the surviving pageB of his sketch-book contain no drawings of these places. There Is. indeed, on one page the complicated top of some tower, unnamed, the highest member of which is like that of-Veere, hut the rest is different. Durer was evidently entertained by these fantastic steeples and several of them ap­ pear in his sketches. In the nature of things, however, Buch light wooden structures as crowned the towers of the low countries were not so durable as the stone substructures. Some have perished by fire, others have lost their open­ work decorations, others have had to be retired In various degroes, and repair has generally meant simplification. The tower of Veere. how­ ever. was apparently never very elaborate, and probably remains much as it was originally built. Four-square and plain below, the stone portion Is completed with a clock chamber, strengthened at the corners. Then comes a balustraded bell chamber, with a bulbed spire for roof to It. of unsually slender and graceful proportions. Little imitation dormer windows were a common deco­ rative detail on these bulbs, but «on Veere spire they are reduced to the roofs of, them only. These and the Gothic crochets higher up are the only medieval elements surviving In this tower. The town hall below contains a treasure cer­ tainly worth seeing, for lovers of fine goldsmith's work worth going to see--an/ admirable classi­ fication of "sights" which we owe to the common sense of Doctor Johnson. How useful a guide­ book to Europe, confined to the things "worth going to see." would be when peace returns, though a real peace In a once more friendly world Is hardly to be looked for In the days of any but the young. The treasure at Veere ts a magnifi­ cent goblet, richly enameled and chased, which the townsfolk caused to be made for, and pre­ sented to, the Emperor Maximilian. How they managed to have both the prestige of giving it and the solid satisfaction of keeping It Is not recorded in any books to which I have access. At all events, there It remains--a very handsome example of a fine period of art in tbe low countries. Veere also possesses a fourteenth century church, once in ruins but now repaired; also some remarkable old houses, a fountain of 1551 and other agreeable remains. On the whole a traveler on landing In Holland might well spend a night at Middelburg. where he can hire cycle or motor ani make In a single day a circuit of entertaining little 0places, which preserve the charms of old Holland more completely than the larger and more famous cltie«« wherein modern life ha9 compelled much external modernization.

The telephone is reached by climbing a 42-rung ladder to the platform outside the lighthouse doors. Before he can leave the ladder the pilot pushes open a trapdoor which cannot open the lighthouse door to reach the telephone until be has shut down the trapdoor over the manhole. The act of opening the outer light- bouse door connects the telephone St- tci outside the inner door of the light­ house. which is kept locked. Only one wire in the cable Is available for the telephone, and even this wire is re­ quired for other purposes, and closing tbe door after using tbe telephone con­ nects up several telltale devices.

Springfield.--Rain, falling at an In­ opportune time, cut seriously into the opening details of speed at the Illi­ nois state fair which was thrown open to the public. President Len Small, Secretary B. M. Davison and others Of the officers and members of the state board of agriculture, which controls the fair, were5 far from pleased with the re­ sults ; but, despite the threatening weather, many hundreds entered the gates before dusk and passed In and out among the many exhibits. Throughout the, day the capital city band g^Pve concerts from varloua of the pavilions in the grounds. One of the scenes of greatest activ­ ity was the boys' state fair school on the hill near the west entrance. Sat­ urday was formal opening day for the school, and the young men came In by the scores from various parts of the state in order to be ready for the first day of work. \ At the girls' school, the program course was followed, with a^tour of the grounds by the girls -itKfn© after­ noon. Lectures and class work pre­ ceded In the morning of the first day, and the visiting In the afternoon. Chief Denman of the fair grounds' police reported a quiet day. "We have had no reports of trouble of any con­ sequence whatever," he stated. Den- man's force consists of 90 men from Chicago and other parts of Illinois. One of the places which on the opening day attracted much attention was the "Made in Springfield" show In machinery hall. The booths In this exhibit are complete and the displays, most of them. In place. The first day visitors stopped short, upon entering the exposition grounds* to gaze at the transformation which had taken place within the small lake inclosure customarily occupied by thousands of birds from the now de­ funct state gaihe farm. Instead of pheasants, geese, ducks and other brilliant birds of scores of varieties, the visitor noted, resting complacently or walking leisurely about, half a doxen deer, fresh from the wooded regions of the East and the South. Suggestive of the days when the underbrush teemed with wild animals, and when larger pune was more plentiful even than Its meager successor of the present day, these deer gave fair patrons an inter esting idea of animal life as it has been in sparsely Inhabited regions. The machinery, much of which was in place on the opening day, will be unufeually strong this year. The same will be true of the motor vehicle lines, especially the cars. The auto­ mobile show this year will teethe largest In the fair's history. • Public Warned of Plague. The state board of live stock com­ missioners apid Dr. O. E. Dyson called on the public to aid in the eradication of the hoof-and-mouth disease. In their desire Co stop the spread of the disease, they stated that Governor Dunne agreed with them that slaugh­ tering of infected herds is the only method by which this disease can be stamped out in the state. The situation in the state will soon be critical, they said, if cattle owners follow the example of Mrs. Scott Durand arid one or two others In ob­ taining injunctions in an attempt to prevent the slaughter of infected cat­ tle. "The United States is the only coun­ try that has succeeded in eradicating the foot-and-mouth disease. This was accomplished by slaughtering every infected or exposed animal. So far this has been the only method by which the disease can be successfully combated. "The personal interests of a com­ parative few cannot and should not be permitted to dictate or Interfere with the eradication of foot-and-mouth dis­ ease by tbe only successful method known, that of the slaughter of all animals Infected with or known to have been exposed to the contagion of foot-and-mouth disease."

Jobs Offered by Hie State Bireto. A year ago the only Itinerant Workers sure of positions. were the painters assigned to the making of "No Help Wanted" signs. The Illinois free employment bureau is face to face with the task of finding men instead of jobs, of explaining the labor market conditions to tbe employer in­ stead of to the would-be employee. the discrepancy between the num­ ber of men and the number of jobs will be noticeable this winter, as it was last, but this year it will be re­ versed. The problem of the "unem­ ployed" will have resolved Itself, ere the snow flies, Into the old municipal care of keeping professional beggars on the move. All this is indicated in the reports now being prepared by Charles J. Boyd, general superintendent of the bureau. Mr. Boyd was placed in charge of the bureau when it was reorganized, with a central office at 526 South Dear­ born street, Chicago, instead of three Scattered bureaus acting independent­ ly of one another. His figures show that the Dearborn street officials supplying skilled labor as fast as it can be found. In the central office dozens of ex­ ceptional positions, some of them pay­ ing as high as $8 a day, are going beg­ ging. Among the unfilled applications tor help are the following: Malleable Iron molders, an unlim­ ited number at )4 a day.* Five trimmers and die makers, 36 cents an hour. Machinists, an unlimited number, 46 cents an hour. ' 8team hammer men, twelve, at from $4 to $8 a day. Die sinkers, twelve, at 47% cents an hour. Factory hands, five. Auto striper. Landscape gardeners, two. Car repairmen, thirty. The bureau has received its call for machinists to work upon war orders, though as a general rule this branch of the business has been little sought. Dozens of machinists' jobs await fill- 4ng, and metal workers of all sorts are in exceptional demand. "There is a great deal more work going on in Chicago on war orders than a casual observer would believe," said Harry I. Weber, assistant general 1 superintendent "We can gues^ It here in the sudden call for lathe workere." •' The employment bureau has placed nearly 21.000 in the last ten months. Approximately 25 per cent of this number were women. The Dearborn street office has been open about a month. In that time 446 men have been placed in permanent positions. The following list of jobs open at the unskilled labor bureau is offered by the superintendent as an example of the short market faced by railroads and farmers with the harvest season only just beginning: Wanted, ten ex­ perienced stone yard workers, 100 deckhands. 400 laborers, 100 section men. 50 laborers for a railroad in Iowa, ten farm hands. In the woman's department 100 do­ mestics. 20 copper plate workers, five stenographers, five cooks, an Elliot- Fisher billing machine operator and six button-hole machine operators are wanted. "We expect this office to placo 160 to 200 men a day when we get the business established," said Mr. Weber, "providing we can get men enough to fill the Jobs." Tbe last few days of warm weather have brought benefit to the corn crops of the middle West, and an Increased demand for farmhands at good wages, according to Dr. Percy L.

The batsman was fanning the air. "Play yet again, Senor; you are the great wonder!" cried the most promi­ nent citizen, and from that moment the reputation of the young scientist was made. Now he made the ball speed like lightning until it smoked its course. Again it swept about In a graceful serpentine curve.

Then it was that they drew from him that he had been on the second team at Columbia University and fo% a time had pitched even for the regu­ lar nine. Messrs. Halter and Watson told how much they desired to have snakes and bugs. After the explorers had scored in this way there was no snake ilk Santo Domingo too good for them. The swamps and thickets were ran­ sacked and the inmates were dragged wriggling into the light.
