Congress has overridden a veto by President Wilson for the first time and enacted into law the immigration bill with .its long-fought literacy test provision The senate voted, 62 to 19, to pass the measure notwithstanding the veto and in spite of eleventh hour informa- tion that Japan again had protested against the language of the Asiatic exclusion section.

Naples, aside from its amazing local beauty, is a dirty south Italian seu- port, full of fleas and beggers noiew ag pandemonium day and nigui, wilbout a really distinguished edifice, and peo- pled by a conglomerate mass as strik- ingly beautiful physically as they are notoriously untrustworthy. From the storied heights that sweep in a magni- ficent amphitheater around the bril- liant bay the old city straggles down- ward in a picturesque huddle of dense- ly packed houses and other buildings. tortuous streets full of color and bub- bling with the nervous activity of the south, black canyons of stone stairs, slippery with damp and dirt, across which its teeming houses gossip and quarrel in neighborly wise. Nowhere are fisher folk more pictur- esque in habit and costume. Nowhere is there so salty a dialect, spiced with such myria:l quaint and startling phrases snd cxclamations. Bare and brown of le. dressed in ragzed, parti- colored mot.ey, a stout canvas band about each :inewy body for hauling in the net without cutting the hands to pieces. they bring ashore their shim- mering silver quarry right along the widest. finest promenade in the city— the handsome Via Caracciolo. Across that broad street the charm- ing Villa Nazionale—not a house, but a public park. wholely conventional in ~ design—contains an aquarium whick may fairly be considered the most re- markable in the world for both the variety and interest of its finny and monstrous exhibits and the thorough- ness of its scientific work. To it many of the great universities contribute an-. nually for the privilege of sending ° special investigators in zoology. The commertial activity of this lar- gest ‘city and second seaport of Italy e¢lings closely about the skirts of the enormous royal palace—800 feet long on the bay side and ninety-five Feet high—and the naval basin yard. Every smell and sound of a thriving seaport may be smelled and heard, multiplied generously, every flag seen on the ships at anchor near the stone wharves.—A. 8. Riggs ia Na- tional Geographic Magazine. Ambigueus. When Bilkins was away from home on a long business trip he got a letter from his wife that still puzzles him, It ended thus: “Baby is well and lots brighter than she used to be. Hoping that you are the same, I remain, your loving wife.” —Manchester Union.
