How had she gotten in? And more important, how would she get out? A smnll boat lay alongside her, and as he watched, a lank man descended Into It.

Fellowes chuckled as he remembered the whimsical feud between the brothers. They had been enemies from the day the firm of Inglepln Brothers was dissolved in DM, after Joshua had declared General Wash lugton was plotting to return the country to the British Crown. Joshua believed In Jefferson ; Ben cursed him for a demagogue. Joshua considered Washington hud been "that libertine. Hamilton's, puppet"; Ben all but said his prayers to the General's memory.

The actual color of tbe they believe, is the dull brown This suggests of weathered rocks. that the surface of the satellite may have been weathered by oxidation at some previous time, although the moon Is known to have no atmosphere now. Mars, according to E. J. Gounod of the Amateur Astronomers' association, may be covered with green vegetation like the earth. The reason it appears moon, red, he says. Is that tbe tight ricjs have to pass through the atmosphere of both Mars and the earth before they reach our eyes. These atmospheres filter out the blue and green rajs but allow the red rays to pass. The three reasons most often given for the red color of Mars, says Popular Science Monthly, are that the planet Is "rusty" with Iron rust, that Its soil and rocks are red or that It Is red vegetation. to Form "All the world loves a soldier," sighs a contemporary.

Its fame in scientific and industrial accomplishments Is as wide as the world, and Its great and glorious history Is something that no other city In the land can ever take away from It It has a record In "flrsts" that Is magnificent the list published by the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, containing nearly 50 premier events of national Importance, which have, unquestionably, given this city Its very It Is generally enviable reputation. known, of course, that Philadelphia was the first capital of the nation; that the first paper and carpet mills .were started here, and that the first convention ever held by manufacturers In this country was held In this city. It Is also well known that the first law and medical schools were established here and that the first grand These opera was produced here. and many other of the "firsts" associated with the Illustrious history of Philadelphia are well known throughout the country, but we regret to say In connection with this mention of few trade union"firsts" that only ists In this city seem to know that It was In their own historic city that this country's first trade unions were established. Historians Support Claim. For a labor Journal published In Philadelphia to make such a claim as that will appear very natural but inaccurate to trade unionists In some other old cities, but our claim Is sustained by the most reliable historians of the labor movement In this country. Those who are Inclined to scoff and pooh-pooour claim should consult the history writteu by John It. Commons and his associates, who are regarded by the International Labor News service, published at Washington, as "the leading authorities on the subject" The title of their book Is "The History of Labor In the United States," and In It they make this very significant assertion: "We place the beginning of the American labor movement In the year 1827 at Philadelphia. In that year and place American wage earners for the first time Jolued together ns a class, regardless of trade lines, In a contest with employers." The contest referred to In the above paragraph was a strike of build r lng trade workers for a day and other Improvements In their working conditions, which strike, we are pleused to note, was successful. These Interesting historic facts regarding the origin of the labor movement In the United States were broadcast throughout the nation by the I. L. N. S. and published In hundreds of lnbor newspapers.
