Formalcies. Prince and Princess unveiled a statue of John Ericsson west of the Lincoln Memorial at the river brink. It was a plaster model of what is to be. The President spoke, then the Prince. The Prince and Princess visited Mount Vernon, and laid a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington...
...heavily to the event by emptying a deep body of water in a sudden and enormous sluice upon mountain hamlets and terraced, rice-grown countryside. About 1,000 were killed, though a month of anticipatory rumbling had warned them to flee. The eruption was out of the bowels of Mount Tokachi, in the centre of Hokkaido, northernmost of the main islands of the island empire of Japan and last retreat of the Hairy Ainus.* One of the 50 technically active of Japan's 200 or more volcanic peaks, Mount Tokachi, is at the intersection of two volcanic ranges that...
...rather clever one, but there are considerations which lead one to expect that it may be ineffectual. The salient difference between the western independent and his Nebraska predecessor, stands in the way. Bryan knew only the politics of a presidential campaign.

And so all the caps and bells, and all the cap pistols too, in Cambridge are concentrated there...
...this long file of exalted spiritual triumph will come first the Catholic laity and the lesser clergy ?gold bannered folk, Dominican friars in their white cassocks, Trapist and Capuchin monks in brown, Benedictines and Jesuits in black?then the resplendent, gold-draped bishops and archbishops. Homage and glory mount as the procession nears its end. Fifteen cardinals are coming, vanguard to the Host behind. Papal guards in scarlet, blue and yellow uniforms follow. Then comes, under a canopy of gold and surrounded by censor-bearing acolytes, the Blessed Sacrament. It is inclosed in its golden ostensorium, its jeweled monstrance...
