" It brings the Whole World to the Library Uable/* 
The October Number of The Travel Magazine opens with a remarkable 
article, entitled, “Strange Musicians From Strange Lands,” by the 
well-known traveler, Oliver Bainbridge. This article deals with the barbarous 
music of a number of little known countries, and the illustrations made from pho¬ 
tographs of savage and semi-savage musicians have a peculiar attraction. 
Among other articles of interest, are “An Unexplored Country,*’ 
by Elise West, which tells of “The Dunderbergs ” and their environments. These 
mountains along the Hudson are hardly more than thirty miles from New York, 
yet they are but little visited and almost unii habited. They abound in legendary 
and historic interest, aird also have a wealth of beautiful scenery as can be seen 
from the illustrations that accompany the article. There are hundreds of scpmre 
miles of woodlands where no sign of human habitation or occupation is to be seen. 
It is strange that a section so beautiful and so wild should remain almost 
unvisited. 
Another beautiful spot, also little known, is described by Woodruff McCully 
in an article on “ The Snoqualmie Falls.” These are the largest falls in 
the Puget Sound country and can be easily reached from Seattle. 
“A Day in Moville,” nn article by Janies J. O’Connell, takes the 
reader across the water to a little village in Ireland, very ancient and quaint, and 
with surroundings that are full of interest. Travelers returning to America by 
way of Glasgow, stop at this quaint village on their way to America. 
“ The Enchanted Land of the Yoho,” by Katherine Louise 
Smith, describes the latest camping grounds for explorers and tourists. This is a 
new addition to the Canadian Park, the Yoho Park, 832 miles in extent and situ¬ 
ated on the British Columbia side of the Pocky Mountains. The Yoho AYlley 
here is regarded as one of the most lieautiful vales in the world, and the magnifi¬ 
cent mountains about it are a lure for ambitious mountaineers. 
“ The Witcheries of Westchester,” by Grace Isabel Colbron, tells 
in a charming manner of the many pleasures that can be derived from a days 
motoring about this beautiful suburb of New York City. 
“ The Calendar of Travel ” for the month, deals with Old Point 
Comfort, and the best known of the Mrginia and West Virginia Springs. Also, 
trips are suggested to The Luray Caverns — The Natural Bridge—Mammoth 
Cave—The Grand Canyon of the Colorado—and Along the Great Lakes. 
The Travel Club Department contairs many interesting stories and experi¬ 
ences of travel in various sections of the world.

The discharge was controlled by a valve 
in the base of the nozzle, and the opera¬ 
tor soon became expert and could paint 
8 feet or lo feet above his head and the 
same distance below his feet. Two men 
were required, one to keep the paint 
bucket full and the other to handle the 
brush. There was little waste of paint, 
though every crevice was filled, and the 
rough surface was covered better than it 
could have been done by hand. One 
gallon of paint would cover about 150 
square feet and the two men would 
cover about 5,000 square feet, in one day. 
The windows were protected by a light, 
movable, canvas-covered frame. The 
cost of the oil paint thus applied did not 
exceed 5d. per 100 square feet, and the 
cost of painting the buildings, including 
all labor and a reasonable sum for the 
use of the air-pump, pipe, reservoir and 
brush, was less than 7 i-2d. per square 
of 100 square feet, or less than one-half 
the cost of painting by hand.— Invention. 
LEASOWE CASTLE 
A GREAT chance for the collectors 
^ ^ occurred at the sale of an Eliza¬ 
bethan castle, with all its valuable con¬ 
tents, in Cheshire, England. It was the 
residence of Sir Charles Cust, and was 
built by the Earls of Derby, when it 
passed from that family to the pres¬ 
ent owner’s great-grandfather. It was 
chiefly noticeable as containing a fac¬ 
simile of the notorious star chamber, 
lined with the original oak panelling 
of that apartment. I'he wood is in an 
excellent state of preservation. The 
star chamber contains some fine speci¬ 
mens of antique oak furniture, and 
included in the contents of the cas¬ 
tle are valuable old oak cabinets, 
chairs and other articles, which have 
been in the mansion since the sixteenth 
century. 
Nearly all the subsequent changes of 
taste are represented, and the collection 
of Chippendale is of unusual importance. 
It makes the mouth water to think of all 
these treasures which were dispersed 
by auction, but the wise collector who is 
also rich will secure the star chamber 
and set it up in a brand-new house, a 
veritable star of antiques. Save for 
these forced sales of family relics abroad, 
people with fine tastes to gratify would 
not fare very well. But the fallen for¬ 
tunes of one are the happy accidents of 
others .—Boston Herald.
