Santo Domingo Is rich In historic In terest, says Samuel Guy Inman in the course of an article in the Pan-American Magazine. It is the oldest of all of the permanent settlements on Amer ican soil. Here Columbus founded various colonies, and Santo Domingo city became his favorite of all the New world. It was here that he spent some of Uie happiest time of his life, and here that he was reduced to pris on by his political enemies and from here he was sent in chains and dis grace to Spain. The old tower where he was imprisoned still remains and his bones lie in the great cathedral of Santo Domingo City. In this oldest city of the New world one still sees the remains of the first Church built in America. Its founda tions were laid In 1502. Here Is the house where Cortez kept the court rec ords before he had ever heard of Mex ico. From here Ponce de Leon set out In his search for Die Fountain of Vouth. Here lived Pizurro before lie went to Panama and sailed down the west coast to conquer the luca em pire. Everywhere one turns he en counters old landmarks where the fam ous couqulstadiires had their first ex periences In the New world. Padre de las Casas entered the priesthood here, and In his indignation because of the abuse of the Indians by the Spaniards began to import slaves from Africa to make lighter the work of the Indian laborers. Here was found ed the first university of the New world, when in 1538 a royal charter was grunted for the establishment of the University of St. Thomas. Unfortunately this glorious history was not maintained. Fifty years after the first settlement the Indians had almost been exterminated by the cruel ty of their masters and the finest of the conqulstadores had moved on to conquer new and glorious worlds. For nearly three centuries Santo Domingo dropped out of the notice of the world. In the early part of the Nineteenth century, wuetj the other Spanish col onies were declaring their Independ ence and establishing republics, Santo Domingo endeavored to join this move ment, but she was overpowered by the negro despot of Hayti, and was held under the dominance of the negro re public until 1844. Then followed twen ty years of Independent life, tilled with revolution, after which the country gain put Itself under Spain for some five years. Again declaring Itself as a republic, It entered an Independent existence until 191fi. when the govern ment was taken over by the United Stales navy. Southern Cypress Has Many Colors. Southern bald cypress Is about the most variable In color of any of our native woods, and in different locali ties Is known as red cypress, yellow cypress, white cypress and black cy press. There Is a rather prevalent belief that cypress with dark colored heart wood If the taOsf durable, hut the opin ion of the United States forest pro ducts laboratory' Is that as far as dur ability Is concerned the color of the wood makes very little difference. In service records obtained by the laboratory, any difference In the length of service of red cypress and yellow cypress appear! to be due entirely to a difference in the amount of sapwood In the timbers. Cypress trees with llght-coloi ed henrtwood usually have more sapwood than those with dark colored heartwood, and sapwood Is not revKi mil to decay. The Important thing. If durability Is desired, appears to be to select the heartwood of cypress regardless of its shade. Majority and Plurality. The candidate, who nmong several, receives the hinhest number of votes, ts snlil to have a plurality amounting to the difference between his tot and thnt of the candidate receiving the next highest number. If the vote of the candidate Is greater than the sura of the votes cast for all other candi dates for the same office he has a majority. A majority is more than half, while a plurality may be much less than half. DAIRY POINTS SWINGING CHURN IS FAVORED Durability of Homemade Device la Measured in Terms of Half a Lifetime.
