Noted visitors from many lands, men of renown with International missions sent by foreign governments, have come to the Sagamore Hill house to find the Colonel writing, dictating or reading by the light of oil. lamps. Throughout his great home oil-burning lights only were to be found until few months ago.

Jt was neighborly reminiscences today which revealed why at last oil surrendered Its place to the more mod ern electricity. "You know," the Colonel was quoted ty a neighbor as saying 'half apologet ically, "we just had to put In electric lights. The servants demanded It." High In the air over Sagamore Hill last night and today Army airplanes from Hazeihurst Field maintained a rcaseless vigil, occasionally swooping toward the earth to drop a wreath of laurel among the elms near the man sion.
