On Sept. 25, 1513, Vasco Nunez de Balboa had his first peep at the blue expanse of the Pacific ocean, remarks the Los Angeles Times. It was gained from the top of the mountain range at the isthmus of Darien. Four days later, on the 29th, he reached the slopes himself and stood waist deep in the waters. He called it the Great South sea and he took formal possession in the name of the king of Spain, after the manner of the old-time explorers. That was the big day in Balboa's life. He came to the New World as a stowaway and he attained the title of admiral of the Pacific and governor of Panama. Yet four years latef he was executed in the public square at Ada on a trumped-up charge of treason. Balboa was an adventurer with the passions of the gambler, the drunkard and the spendthrift; yet as he gathered power and authority he indicated prudence, judgment and foresight. He was a regular scout and now California has a delightful beach and a guarded bay named after him. It would be very proper to call the last week in September Balboa week in this section, for from the discovery to the possession of the Pacific four days elapsed. Its accumulators and electric motors give it a speed of six knots on the surface and nearly five knots under water. It is equipped with portholes recalling those of the famous Nautilus created by Jules Verne. The inventor claims that the vessel can be used for various operations, such as the location of wrecks, the collection of marine specimens, soundings, the study of ocean currents, or sponge fishing. The cost of construction, which was estimated when the plans were first drawn up in 1907 at $38,000, is now placed at $120,000. Poor Gondolas. Business had prospered with Mr. Cashtalks. So much so that his wife found herself established in a large house with grounds—nothing so low as a garden! One morning Mrs. Cashtalks sent for the gardener, of whom she was very proud. "I've had a letter this morning from Mr. Cashtalks, John," she informed the man. "He is traveling in Italy, and says that while in Venice he bought two gondolas for the lake, which should arrive this week. So you must go to the store at once and get some food for them and build them a nest or something. I'm sure the poor things will be tired and hungry by the time they get here!"— Houston Post. Nature Leaking In. I don't know anything sweeter than this leaking in of nature through all the cracks in the walls and floors of our cities. You can heap up a million tons of hewn rock on a square mile or two of earth which was green once. The trees look down from the hillsides and ask each other, as they stand on tiptoe: "What are those people about?" And the small herbs at their feet look up and whisper back: "We shall go and see." So the small herbs pack themselves up in the least possible bundles and wait until the wind steals them at night and whispers: "Come with me." Then they go softly into the great city—one to a cleft in the pavement, one to a spout on the roof, one to a seam in the marbles over a rich man's bones and one to the grave without a stone, where nothing but the man is buried—and there they grow, looking up from between the less trodden pavements, looking down on the generations of men from moldy roofs, looking out through the cemetery railings. — Oliver Wendell Holmes. ^5 £r$$s® 1U :i*-:/-k it !Q- • JW-v.-.V.-.fn*. ,«k OOO0C r,¥ ThIW|||;".-Strength Ak>: Endurance ^ /~x Look around at the men and wcnen you meet in a single day.
