221Rh to the refrain: "Buzz, buzz, all by steam; whir, whir, all on wheels," while the Englishman keeps saying: "Tell the Pasha that the British yeoman is still, thank God, the British yeoman."

Although the educational work of the Americans in China is on the whole admirable, nothing directed by foreigners can adequately satisfy the needs of the country. The Chinese have a civilization and a national temperament in many ways superior to those of white men. A few Europeans ultimately discover this, but Americans never do. They remain always missionaries—not of Christianity, though they often think that is what they are preaching, but of Americanism. What is Americanism? "Clean living, clean thinking, and pep," I think an American would reply. This means, in practice, the substitution of tidiness for art, cleanliness for beauty, moralizing for philosophy, prostitutes for concubines (as being easier to conceal), and a general air of being fearfully busy for the leisurely calm of the traditional Chinese. Voltaire—that hardened old cynic—laid it down that the true ends of life are "aimer et penser." Both are common in China, but neither is compatible with "pep." The American influence, therefore, inevitably tends to eliminate both. If it prevailed it would, no doubt, by means of hygiene, save the lives of many Chinamen, but would at the same time make them not worth saving. It cannot therefore be regarded as wholly and altogether satisfactory.

The best Chinese educationists are aware of this, and have established schools and universities which are modern but under Chinese direction. In these, a certain proportion of the teachers are European

222Rh or American, but the spirit of the teaching is not that of the Y.M.C.A. One can never rid oneself of the feeling that the education controlled by white men is not disinterested; it seems always designed, unconsciously in the main, to produce convenient tools for the capitalist penetration of China by the merchants and manufacturers of the nation concerned. Modern Chinese schools and universities are singularly different: they are not hotbeds of rabid nationalism as they would be in any other country, but institutions where the student is taught to think freely, and his thoughts are judged by their intelligence, not by their utility to exploiters. The outcome, among the best young men, is a really beautiful intellectual disinterestedness. The discussions which I used to have in my seminar (consisting of students belonging to the Peking Government University) could not have been surpassed anywhere for keenness, candour, and fearlessness. I had the same impression of the Science Society of Nanking, and of all similar bodies wherever I came across them. There is, among the young, a passionate desire to acquire Western knowledge, together with a vivid realization of Western vices. They wish to be scientific but not mechanical, industrial but not capitalistic. To a man they are Socialists, as are most of the best among their Chinese teachers. They respect the knowledge of Europeans, but quietly put aside their arrogance. For the present, the purely Chinese modern educational institutions, such as the Peking Government University, leave much to be desired from the point of view of instruction; there are no adequate libraries, the teaching of English is not sufficiently thorough, and there is not enough

223Rh mental discipline. But these are the faults of youth, and are unimportant compared with the profoundly humanistic attitude to life which is formed in the students. Most of the faults may be traced to the lack of funds, because the Government—loved by the Powers on account of its weakness—has to part with all its funds to the military chieftains who fight each other and plunder the country, as in Europe—for China must be compared with Europe, not with any one of the petty States into which Europe is unhappily divided.

The students are not only full of public spirit themselves, but are a powerful force in arousing it throughout the nation. What they did in 1919, when Versailles awarded Shangtung to Japan, is well told by Mr. Tyau in his chapter on "The Student Movement." And what they did was not merely political. To quote Mr. Tyau (p. 146):—

One thing which came as a surprise to me was to find that, as regards modern education under Chinese control, there is complete equality between men and women. The position of women in Peking

If these things be so, to what shall we ascribe it but to pure Genius? Talent beats smoother the trodden ways; Genius alone strikes out a new path. Stevenson has already found imitators, but his only rivals are not of his own generation; they sleep on their marble shelves beneath quaint classic canopies. Not by copying their eccentricities, but by adapting their liberal spirit and scrupulous manipulation to his modern needs, has he woven round him the spell of a magic personality and renewed our affection for the mother tongue.

It was not this side glimpse, this rambling excursion that I sat down to write. But after all there has been—there will yet be—no lack of criticisms on his several works. Personally, though I retract much that of old I hastily objected, there remains still more than one issue which I would gladly join with Stevenson, nor should I shrink from retorting upon him the playful charge of "protervity" which he once brought against me. A few words as to his influence will be more to the purpose. Some miserable rivals—their names I dare not breathe—may be more popular, but strange to tell, he is popular too. While on the one hand I was surprised at the gravity with which Pattison commended to me Stevenson's early essays, I have been equally struck by the keen relish of working men, not merely for his stories themselves, but for his manner of narration. After all, music can be enjoyed without understanding it. Upon the brighter spirits of the younger generation his influence is steadily growing. In the case of several whose development I have watched, the usual phases of enthusiasm lead up through various modern writers to Stevenson. There for the present they pause to enlarge their knowledge of bygone masters, as though conscious that he indicates the high-water mark of contemporary prose. From him they are learning the secret of fastidious and scrupulous diction, of rapid and veracious narrative, of measured design and proportion—graces which have too long lain dormant among us. But after all he marks but a transition, not a culminating point. Nothing he has yet put forth in scope, amplitude, or import challenges the great masterpieces. Yet is his place among the masters. What though his aim be short of the highest, his achievement less than perfect, his example point to no ultimate goal? He stands apart supreme in his own magic circle, compelling his spectres and chanting

 his spells. If we crowd round it is not to acclaim what is new-fangled and abnormal, but because we rightly prize Rarity, because the One is ever more to us than the Many, knowing as we do that in diversity of types lies the wealth of our literature as of our flora, and that every fresh literary form strikes light from yet another facet of the complex crystal of human mind. Whether the Magician will ever mellow into the Seer I cannot tell. All that he has yet done seems but of the nature of exercise and experiment—the capricious fluttering to and fro, the sportive circling of a swiftwinged bird that purposes a flight high and far. But Genius knows best its own time to soar, and should time, health, and circumstance bar its rise, should he never pen another line, Robert Louis Stevenson—graceful and melodious singer, accomplished essayist, enthralling story-teller, inspirer of generous boys, cheering comrade of tired men, high priest of the arcana of our glorious tongue-with honour and without reproach will pass over to Treasure Island having deserved well of the Commonwealth of Letters.

ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON:

A REMINISCENCE

enough, it was in what might be called an arena of abstract science that I first made the acquaintance of a young man who is now one of the most distinguished littérateurs of the age. On a sunny spring morning, now, alas! a score of years ago—sunny, though the huge stove was still roaring away in the corner with a rumbling sound like the rush of an express train through a tunnel—we were sitting in the mathematical class-room of the University of Edinburgh, awaiting the incoming of our dear old Professor (Kelland), I being then deep in the Daily News description of the German entry into Paris, when I felt a hand gently laid on my shoulder, and, turning round, beheld a young man with whose face I was quite familiar, though not yet cognisant of his name. Having always had a sharp and roving eye for varieties of type and

 character among my fellow-students, this particular youth had already arrested my attention by the possession of exterior qualities which marked him off strongly from the rest of his comrades a certain grace and refinement of manner and person not very common among the academic communities of Scotland, and withal a free and unconventional air with which a black velvet jacket and flowing flaxen locks were well matched. His whole appearance was much more indicative of the poet or the æsthete than of the scientist; and yet here was this attractive youth tapping my shoulder in one of the front benches of the mathematical class. Was not my name so and so, and was not I the fellow who had sent in a poem to the editors of the University Magazine, of whom, he added, he was one. His co-editor, who was sitting near him engaged in the perusal of a love sonnet instead of a treatise on logarithms, was another young man of equally fascinating exterior and charming manners—Walter Ferrier, son of a St. Andrew's professor and grandson of Christopher North—a young man of high aspirations and great promise too soon blasted by death; and nothing would content these Arcades ambo but that they should at once launch out into the literary career and try their 'prentice hand on a monthly venture entitled the Edinburgh University Magazine—a venture which did not last very long, and probably, indeed, received its death blow from the verses, monopolising about a third of one number, which the editors were indiscreet enough to accept from me and insert in their otherwise sparkling enough pages. It was a cantata, partly in the Lowland Scots' dialect, written in imitation of one of Burns's larger pieces; and, though I would give my worst enemy a very considerable douceur rather than that he should now rake this effusion up against me, I am at the same time pleased and proud to think that it was the means of bringing me into personal contact with Robert Louis Stevenson, for that was the name of the young man who had tapped me on the shoulder. Stevenson was, on the whole, well pleased with my poem, though he insisted on making certain editorial emendations, some of which, however, I am bound to say did more credit to the delicacy of his taste than to the accuracy of that sense of rhythm of which he subsequently became so great a master. From the mathematical classroom we hastened to repair to the privacy of a snug house of entertainment close by, called "The Pump," there to continue our discussion over Edinburgh ale and cold meat

225Rh inquiry by which they are seeking to build a new civilization as splendid as their old civilization in its best days.

While I was in Peking, the Government teachers struck, not for higher pay, but for pay, because their salaries had not been paid for many months. Accompanied by some of the students, they went on a deputation to the Government, but were repulsed by soldiers and policemen, who clubbed them so severely that many had to be taken to hospital. The incident produced such universal fury that there was nearly a revolution, and the Government hastened to come to terms with the teachers with all possible speed. The modern teachers have behind them all that is virile, energetic, and public-spirited in China; the gang of bandits which controls the Government has behind it Japanese money and European intrigue. America occupies an intermediate position. One may say broadly that the old traditional education, with the military governors and the British and Japanese influence, stands for Conservatism; America and its commerce and its educational institutions stand for Liberalism; while the native modern education, practically though not theoretically, stands for Socialism. Incidentally, it alone stands for intellectual freedom.

The Chinese are a great nation, incapable of permanent suppression by foreigners. They will not consent to adopt our vices in order to acquire military strength; but they are willing to adopt our virtues in order to advance in wisdom. I think they are the only people in the world who quite genuinely believe that wisdom is more precious than rubies. That is why the West regards them as uncivilized.

Rh why must Mary go to bed at eight? If all of her companions at school are allowed to smoke, why can't she? And conversely, for it is a question of the absence of a common standard far more than of the nature of the standards, if all the other little girls are given lovely fussy dresses and hats with flowers and ribbons, why must she be dressed in sensible, straight linen dresses and simple round hats? Barring an excessive and passionate devotion of the children to their parents, a devotion of a type which brings other more serious difficulties in its wake, children in a heterogeneous civilisation will not accept unquestioningly their parents' judgment, and the most obedient wil] temper present compliance with the hope of future emancipation.

In a primitive, homogenous community, disciplinary measures of parents are expended upon securing small concessions from children, in correcting the slight deviations which occur within one pattern of behaviour. But in our society, home discipline is used to establish one set of standards as over against other sets of standards, each family group is fighting some kind of battle, bearing the onus of those who follow a middle course, stoutly defending a cause already lost in the community at large, or valiantly attempting to plant a new standard far in advance of their neighbours. This propagandist aspect greatly increases the importance of home discipline in the development of a girl's personality. So we have the picture of parents, shorn of their economic authority, trying to coerce the girl who still

Rh lives beneath their roof into an acceptance of standards against which she is rebelling. In this attempt they often find themselves powerless and as a result the control of the home breaks down suddenly, and breaks down just at the point where the girl, faced with other important choices, needs a steadying home environment.

It is at about this time that sex begins to play a role in the girl’s life, and here also conflicting choices are presented to her. If she chooses the freer standards of her own generation, she comes in conflict with her parents, and perhaps more importantly with the ideals which her parents have instilled. The present problem of the sex experimentation of young people would be greatly simplified if it were conceived of as experimentation instead of as rebellion, if no Puritan self-accusations vexed their consciences. The introduction of an experimentation so much wider and more dangerous presents sufficient problems in our lack of social canons for such behaviour. For a new departure in the field of personal relations is always accompanied by the failure of those who are not strong enough to face an unpatterned situation. Canons of honour, of personal obligation, of the limits of responsibilities, grow up only slowly. And, of first experimenters, many perish in uncharted seas. But when there is added to the pitfalls of experiment, the suspicion that the experiment is wrong and the need for secrecy, lying, fear, the strain is so great that frequent downfall is inevitable.

In the success of the planter is the germ of our success. First, the best, and ; next, the plainly told practice of accepted experts in gardening. This is why we publish books on, and from a modest beginning this feature of our business has grown to very considerable proportions. The past year we distributed many volumes, which shows how fortunate we are in publishing books the people want.

This is really a 30-cent book, but it is so obviously nooded by every one that we offer it to our customers at the merely nominal charge of ten cents.

It is a brief, clear, and reliable book of 125 pages, illustrated with more than 75 engravings, including a map of the Life Zones of the United States.

treats of the Location and Management of the Home Garden, Soils, Drainage, Manuring, Composting, Concentrated Manures, Hotbeds and Cold Frames, Selection of Seod, Preparation and Planting, Climate, etc.

gives accurate and complete Cultural Directions for all Culinary Vegetables described in, with Notes on Varieties and Time Required from Planting until Vegetables are Ready for Use.

In the Appendix are revised Planting Tables for Vegetables, Grass and Forage Crops, Weights of Agricultural Commodities, Formulas for Insecticides, and Tables of Annual Rainfall for all the States of the Union.

The book has been compiled from our own publications, the trial records of, and a comprehensive manuscript on general gardening, which has not been published, for which we paid five hundred dollars.

This new book tells how to grow successfully flowers from seed, both indoors and out. It has been written by, who for many years has been the general superintendent of our Trial Grounds. Few writers have had such opportunities to learn flowers, and what he knows the author tells in language that can be easily understood.

But it had not yet found safety

From the fierce hands of the Fire,

And a second time it wandered

To the dwelling of the Fire,

That it should be forged to weapons,

And to sword-blades should be fashioned.

“On the marshes wolves were running,

On the heath the bears came trooping.

’Neath the wolves’ feet quaked the marshes,

’Neath the bears the heath was shaken,

Thus was ore of iron uncovered,

And the bars of steel were noticed,

Where the claws of wolves had trodden,

And the paws of bears had trampled.

“Then was born smith Ilmarinen,

Thus was born, and thus was nurtured,

Born upon a hill of charcoal,

Reared upon a plain of charcoal,

In his hands a copper hammer,

And his little pincers likewise.

“Ilmari was born at night-time,

And at day he built his smithy,

Sought a place to build his smithy,

Where he could construct his bellows,

In the swamp he found a land-ridge,

And a small place in the marshes,

So he went to gaze upon it,

And examined the surroundings,

And erected there his bellows,

And his anvil there constructed.

“Then he hastened to the wolf-tracks,

And the bear-tracks also followed,

And the ore of iron he saw there,

And the lumps of steel he found there,

In the wolves’ enormous footprints;

Where the bears’ paws left their imprints.

Then he spoke the words which follow:

In an ill abode thou dwellest,

In a very lowly station,

 We want to place a copy of this excellent new book in the hands of every farmer in America. It is a book for which farmers have waited for years, telling them what they want to know about manures and the management of land in a way that can be clearly understood. It is in every sense a farmer’s book, written for the men who plow and sow and reap. The farmer’s business is to grow profitable crops without impairment to his soil. This book tells in a plain way how to do it. 218 pages. illustrated.

A complete and convenient treatise on insects destructive to Fruit, Field, and Garden crops. Contains the latest and best methods for preventing insect injuries and gives reliable formulas for making insecticides, Plainly written for the million, and filled with life-like illustrations which will greatly aid the farmer in identifying his insect focs. 216 pages.

A book on artistic gardening, by a trained artist and enthusiastic amateur gardener. The pages overflow with pen-and-ink skelebes from nature, while the subject matter is drawn from the best in the artistic world of gardening, showing the influence of the formal English style, the Italian renaissance, and the art of the Japanese upon gardening.

An important part of this valuable book is devoted to descriptions of flowers easily procured and grown from seeds, bulbs, and cuttings, with bright sketches showing their form of growth. The closing chapters comprise careful cultural directions. The prevailing idea in the book is to teach harmony in the arrangement of flowers and plants.

Celery offers greater chances for making money than any other garden crop. The difficulties encountered by the old methods of growing made success uncertain, and sure only with comparatively few expert growers. All this uncertainty is now a thing of the past, as modern methods make profitable Celery growing possible to all intelligent gardeners. Specially written for us by, author of.

’Neath the wolf-prints in the marshes,

And the imprints of the bear-paws.’

“Then he pondered and reflected,

‘What would be the upshot of it,

If I cast it in the fire,

And I laid it on the anvil?’

“Sore alarmed was hapless Iron,

Sore alarmed, and greatly startled,

When of Fire it heard him speaking,

Speaking of the furious Fire.

“Said the smith, said Ilmarinen,

‘But indeed it cannot happen;

Fire his friends will never injure,

Nor will harm his dear relations.

If you seek the Fire’s red chamber,

All illumined with its brightness,

You will greatly gain in beauty,

And your splendour greatly increase.

Fitted thus for men’s keen sword-blades

Or as clasps for women’s girdles.’

“Therefore when the day was ended,

Was the Iron from out the marshes,

Delved from all the swampy places,

Carried homeward to the smithy.

“Then he cast it in the furnace,

And he laid it on the anvil,

Blew a blast, and then a second,

And he blew again a third time,

Till the Iron was fully softened,

And the ore completely melted,

Like to wheaten dough in softness,

Soft as dough for rye-bread kneaded,

In the furnace of the smithy,

By the bright flame’s softening power.

“Then exclaimed the Iron unhappy,

‘O thou smith, O Ilmarinen,

Take me quickly from this furnace,

From the red flames that torment me.’

"Yet even so," continued Mr. Huss, "I do not see why you should be so anxious for technical science and so hostile to the history of mankind."

"Because it is not a true history," said Sir Eliphaz, his hair waving about like the hair of a man electrified by fresh ideas. "Because it is a bunch of loose ends that are really not ends at all, but only beginnings that pass suddenly into the unseen. I admit that in this world nothing is rationalised, nothing is clearly just. I admit everything you say. But the reason? The reason? Because this life is only the first page of the great book we have to read. We sit here, Mr. Huss, like men in a waiting-room All this life is like waiting outside, in a place of some disorder, before being admitted to the wider reality, the larger sphere, where all the cruelties, all these confusions, everything—will be explained, justified—and set right."

He paused, and then perceiving that Mr. Huss was about to speak he resumed, raising his voice slightly.

"And I do not speak without my book in these matters," he said. "I have been greatly impressed—and, what is more, Lady Burrows has been greatly impressed, by the writings of two thoroughly scientific men, two thoroughly scientific men, Dr. Conan Doyle and Sir Oliver Lodge. Ever since she lost her younger sister early in life Lady Burrows has followed up this interest. It has been a great consolation to her. And the point is, as Sir Oliver

Perhaps you might become outrageous,

And commit some furious action.

Perhaps you might attack your brother,

And your mother’s child might injure.'

“Therefore swore the Iron unhappy,

By the oaths of all most solemn,

By the forge and by the anvil,

By the hammer and the mallet,

And it said the words which follow,

And expressed itself in this wise:

‘Give me trees that I can bite them,

Give me stones that I may break them,

I will not assault my brother,

Nor my mother’s child will injure.

Better will be my existence,

And my life will be more happy,

If I dwell among companions,

As the tools of handicraftsmen,

Than to wound my own relations,

And disgrace my own connections.’

“Then the smith, e’en Ilmarinen,

He, the great primeval craftsman,

From the fire removed the Iron;

Laid it down upon the anvil,

Welded it till it was wearied,

Shaped it into pointed weapons,

Into spears, and into axes,

Into tools of all descriptions.

Still there was a trifle wanting,

And the soft Iron still defective,

For the tongue of Iron had hissed not,

And its mouth of steel was formed not,

For the Iron was not yet hardened,

Nor with water had been tempered.

“Then the smith, e’en Ilmarinen,

Pondered over what was needed,

Mixed a small supply of ashes,

And some lye he added to it,

To the blue steel’s smelting mixture,

For the tempering of the Iron.

Sir Eliphaz cleared his throat. "We have already evidences and descriptions of the life into which we shall pass. Remember this is no idle talk, no deception by Sludges and the like; it is a great English scientific man who publishes these records; it is a great French philosopher, no less a man than that wonderful thinker—and how he thinks!—Professor Bergson, who counselled their publication. A glory of science and a glory of philosophy combine to reassure us. We walk at last upon a path of fact into that further world. We know already much. We know, for example, that those who have passed over to that higher plane have bodies still. That I found—comforting. Without that—one would feel bleak. But, the messages say, the internal organs are constituted differently. Naturally. As one would have expected. The dietary is, I gather, practically non-existent. Needless. As the outline is the same the space is, I presume, used for other purposes. Some sort of astral storage They do not bleed. An interesting fact. Lady Burrows' sister is now practically bloodless. And her teeth—she had lost several, she suffered greatly with her teeth—her teeth have all been replaced—a beautiful set. Used now only for articulate speech."

‘Even yet it does not please me

For the blue steel’s smelting mixture,

And perfecting of the Iron.’

From without a bee came flying,

Blue-winged from the grassy hillocks,

Hovering forwards, hovering backwards,

Hovering all around the smithy.

“Then the smith spoke up as follows:

‘O thou bee, my nimble comrade,

Honey on thy wings convey me,

On thy tongue from out the forest,

From the summits of six flowerets,

And from seven tall grass-stems bring it,

For the blue steel’s smelting mixture,

In the tempering of the Iron.

 (9) What steps should a petitioner take to resolve the improper rejection, from Lockbox staff, of a request to add an eligible derivative to a Form I-829?

Petitioners should contact IPO’s Inquiry Management Team at uscis.immigrantinvestorprogram@uscis.dhs.gov, if a petitioner believes we incorrectly rejected their request to add a derivative to Form I-829.

(10) Can investors receive their investment back after submitting the Form I-829, if they have met the eligibility requirements at time of filing?

To qualify for removal of the conditions on permanent residence, the immigrant investor must, in part, show that at least 10 full-time positions for qualifying employees have been created or will be created within a reasonable time, and provide evidence that they sustained their investment throughout the period of their status as a conditional permanent resident. USCIS reviews the investor’s evidence to ensure sustainment of the investment for two years from the date the investor obtained conditional permanent residence.

Since the immigrant investor must submit Form I-829 within the 90-day period preceding the second anniversary of obtaining conditional permanent resident status, filing Form I-829 may not necessarily account for the entirety of the investor’s required sustainment period.

In cases with a similar fact pattern, the required 10 jobs may not have been created or the record may not demonstrate that the requisite jobs will be created within a reasonable time, which may result in us denying the Form I-829.

From the ground with care uplifted,

Carried thence into the smithy,

Or the youngest of thy sisters,

Or some other near relation?

 The regulations state that if USCIS denies the Form I-829 petition, USCIS will provide written notice to the investor of the decision and the reason(s) and will issue a Notice to Appear. The investor’s lawful permanent resident status and that of their spouse and any children will be terminated as of the date of USCIS’ written decision. The investor cannot appeal this decision with USCIS; however, they may seek a review of the decision in removal proceedings.

Because an immigrant investor whose Form I-829 has been denied may seek review of the denial in removal proceedings, USCIS issues a temporary Form I-551 until an order of removal becomes administratively final. An order of removal is administratively final if the decision is not appealed or, if appealed, when the appeal is dismissed by the Board of Immigration Appeals.

(12) Would a Form I-829 case adjudication be affected by the termination of its sponsoring regional center, if all other requirements have been met, such as job creation, etc.?

It depends on the facts of the case. An immigrant investor’s conditional permanent resident status, if already obtained, is not automatically terminated if the investor has invested in a new commercial enterprise associated with a regional center that USCIS terminates. The investor will continue to have the opportunity to demonstrate compliance with EB-5 program requirements, including through reliance on indirect job creation. However, there are times when the reason a regional center has failed to promote economic growth and USCIS has terminated its designation which may have a bearing on the I-829 adjudication. For example, depending on the facts of a particular case, if a regional center was terminated and there was evidence of misappropriation, such evidence could undermine the petitioner’s ability to make the showings required under 8 CFR 216.6. In such a scenario, it is not the termination of the sponsoring 15 of 18

 The pandemic and USCIS’ hiring freeze affected IPO staffing levels and workplace procedures. Early in the shift to pandemic-safe operations, IPO experienced operational deficits which temporarily impacted our program’s ability to transition cases to the National Visa Center. This deficit has been identified and we are actively working to address this concern.

'''(17) It appears that USCIS is now back to scheduling biometrics for I-829 petitioners and dependents. However, it appears that USCIS has been scheduling the petitioners first and dependents later. Can biometrics appointments for family members be consolidated?'''

When USCIS offices temporarily closed on March 13, 2020, the Biometric Scheduling System canceled all pending appointments. When application support centers reopened, the system automatically started scheduling the petitioners. We are actively trying to schedule all family members on the same day, when it is possible.

(18) Is USCIS considering implementing a premium processing fee for EB-5?

USCIS is not considering implementing premium processing for the EB-5 investor program petitions and applications at this time.

This great Harp floats across the dome of the heavens on summer evenings with the blue jewel Vega blazing on its frame. Longfellow in "The Occultation of Orion" clearly visioned

It is easy to imagine that these twinkling chords still sigh and give forth strains of music, for an Æolian Harp is a harp that sings when a wind passes over its strings, and the music of such an instrument is of a drowsy, lulling quality which blends beautifully into dreams.

Just east of the Harp Star, in the center of the Milky Way, rests a cross of stars, clear and bright, as if a cross had really been placed there and then studded with five big stars.

During the month of May the Cross rises on its side (as viewed by an observer in the northern hemisphere), but it rests north and south as it reaches the zenith in midsummer. By December it has reached the slope in the west, and now assuming an upright position, descends majestically to the horizon. This descent is quite effective, especially at the moment when the pale orange star, which rests at its base, lightly touches a mountain range etched in the distance or the edge of a far-reaching plain.

All the blood that forth has issued,

So that not a drop escapes me,

That the red blood flows no longer,

Nor the blood to earth drops downward,

And the blood no more may issue.

“But if manly strength has failed me,

Nor is Ukko’s son a hero,

Who can stop this inundation,

Stem the swift arterial torrent,

Thou our Father in the heavens,

Jumala, the clouds who rulest,

Thou hast manly strength sufficient,

Thou thyself the mighty hero,

Who shall close the blood’s wide gateway,

And shall stem the blood escaping.

“Ukko, O thou great Creator,

Jumala, aloft in heaven,

Hither come where thou art needed,

Hither come where we implore thee,

Press thy mighty hands upon it,

Press thy mighty thumbs upon it,

And the painful wound close firmly,

And the door whence comes the evil,

Spread the tender leaves upon it,

Leaves of golden water-lily,

Runo IX]

Thus to close the path of bleeding,

And to stem the rushing torrent,

That upon my beard it spirts not,

Nor upon my rags may trickle."

Thus he closed the bleeding opening,

Stemming thus the bloody torrent,

Sent his son into the smithy,

To prepare a healing ointment

From the blades of magic grasses,

From the thousand-headed yarrow,

And from dripping mountain-honey,

Falling down in drops of sweetness.

Then the boy went to the smithy,

To prepare the healing ointment,

On the way he passed an oak-tree,

And he stopped and asked the oak-tree,

“Have you honey on your branches?

And beneath your bark sweet honey?”

And the oak-tree gave him answer,

“Yesterday, throughout the evening,

Dripped the honey on my branches,

On my summit splashed the honey,

From the clouds dropped down the honey,

From the scattered clouds distilling.”

Then he took the slender oak-twigs,

From the tree the broken fragments,

Took the best among the grasses,

Gathered many kinds of herbage,

Herbs one sees not in this country;

Such were mostly what he gathered.

Then he placed them o’er the furnace,

And the mixture brought to boiling;

Both the bark from off the oak-tree,

And the finest of the grasses.

Thus the pot was boiling fiercely,

Three long nights he kept it boiling,

And for three days of the springtime,

While he watched the ointment closely,

If the salve was fit for using,

And the magic ointment ready.
