An interesting account of a vacation
spent in Kashmir, the Venice of India,
is contained in a letter received here
this week from Mrs. P. A. Wenger,
the former Adah Good, of Bluffton,
who now is a missionary located at
Koeba, India.
The letter was written to Mrs. H.
E. Beidler of South Jackson street,
a sister of Mrs. Wenger.
In the account Mrs. Wenger com
ments on the beauty and picturesque
ness of Kashmir, where one finds
floating gardens, the richness of ori
ental furnishings and a way of liv
ing that is truly peculiar to that lo
cality.

The letter follows:
You will perhaps be interested to
hear of our trip to Kashmir, so I
shall try to write about it. No
doubt you will have to get out your
map to get any understanding as to
where we went. I will mention a
few of the large stations along the
way. You may begin tracing at Al
lahabad, as that is the first large
station. A few of the others are Del
hi, Saharanpur, Lahore, and last Ra
walpindi. From Rawalpindi we took
the motor bus for about two hundred
miles. We left Rawalpindi about
twelve noon one day and arrived at
our destination the next evening.
Former Bluffton Woman Visits
Kashmir, Beauty Spot Of India
You will no doubt think that this
was very slow traveling. But the
reason was rather that the driver
took his good old time at various stop
ping places and often wasted a lot of
time. The only thing that one can
do in such a case is to be patient!
Much of the way of course we were
traveling in the mountains, and some
times we wished that he would drive
more slowly for he often rounded
coiners so fast that the bus seemed
to be going on two wheels and sway
ed. With the narrow roads and two
way traffic, this was not always too
pleasant.
The first night we spent in a nice
rest house in a beautiful spot. Try
to locate the Jhelum river on your
map. This is a famous river and de
senes to be. It is a terrifically
swift stream. It carries great logs
down the stream at the rate of many
miles per hour, and is used as a
means of transporting them. The
rest house was on the banks of the
river and we could hear the rushing
torrent all night. We walked down
to the river and across it on a sus
pension bridge. We could feel the
bridge swinging as we walked over
it, but it was safe as it was so well
wired on both sides that one could
hardly have fallen out even by trying.
The second day we passed through
most beautiful pine forests where the
pine scent was lovely. After having
crossed the mountain pass we again
travelled on a fairly level road be
fore reaching Srinagar, which is the
main city of the Cashmir Hill station.
Srinagar is built on the banks of the
Jhelum, and of a lake called Dall
Lake. There are not many Euro
peans living in Srinagar and most of
the visitors who go there live out on
the lake in house-boats or on islands
in tents.
Most of the business traffic of the
Kashmir residents is carried on by
boat, likely somewhat as it is in Ven
ice. The boats are for the most part
crude wooden affairs of various sizes,
propelled by means of round or heart
shaped paddles. One often sees quite
a large boat propelled by a woman
or child sitting at the very point of
the prow of the boat, but for the pas
senger boats they usually have not
less than three oarsmen.
We lived in a house-boat together
with Rev. and Mrs. Menzies of the
Disciples Mission. A house-boat con
sists of a long boat from about eight
to twelve feet wide with rooms built
on it similar to a house. There are
usually a sitting room, dining room,
two or three bedrooms w’ith bath
rooms. Then there is another smaller
boat attached to it which al! the ser
vants live and where the cooking is
done. That is a thing which was al
most too much for one’s appetite. The
food looked nice and tasted good
when it arrived on the table, so there
was only one thing to do... .just de
liberately close out of your mind the
kitchen scenery, and all the unsani
tary possibilities and eat.
We of course tried to give instruc
tions in cleanliness, but who knows
what happens when your back is turn
ed. Well, I am convinced that the
same thing holds true in many eating
houses at home, but it is more care
fully hidden. When we wanted to go
to the city to see the shops, we had
to go by boat and it took us almost an
hour to make the trip. At first I
was always more or less afraid but
got over it to some extent. I suppose
the fright of our former boat accident
was still in my system.
The shops are most interesting, and
the things contained in them very
beautiful, often exquisitely so. The
main things of interest are woodwork,
carpets, embroidery, and paper
mache. In the wood work, one sees
marvelous carving, as well as most
beautifully polished plain furniture.
And you would be surprised to see all
the modem designs in furniture. The
wood is walnut and is only polished,
not stained or varnished. One often
sees a table with such beautiful grain
and polish that it looks like a piece
of beautiful shimmering silk. Then
the carpet weaving......... to see the
weaving is to understand the price.
It is all hand woven. The weaver
sees no design before him to pattern,
but follows directions written cut in
the Persian character. Supposing
there are six men weaving on one rug,
then two who weave at the outside
edges will be doing the same pattern
in the border. But only one of these
has the directions so he reads aloud
as he weaves and the other fellow
follows from the reading. Likewise
those in the center. This accounts
as you can well see for the many er
rors and discrepancies in the design
of a hand made Indian rug. Without
these errors you can be sure that a
rug is not an Indian hand-woven rug.
The skill and speed of the weavers
is wonderful to see. We saw one rug
being made which was fully fifteen
feet wide and there were eight men
working on it, and we were told that
the eight men weave only about one
inch per day. The design was beau
tiful but difficult, and they were act
ually working very rapidly, in spite of
the seeming slow progress. In rugs
too, one finds some very modern de
signs. However, we all preferred the
old Persian designs and thought them
much more lovely than the most mod
ern ones.
The shop keepers are keen on busi
ness and sometimes almost pester the
life out of one to convince one that
one is in need of their goods and that
their shop can not be equalled any
where. They also try to prove to
you that their designs are original
and that they will never be duplicated.
They come as hawkers to your door
and display their goods before you.
They come in row boats or shikaras
as they are called. Then they also
insist that you come to their shop and
to make sure that you will do so, they
offer to give you a free trip there in
their own shikara, and make an ap
pointment for a certain day. When
the day comes they are there bright
and early and off you go.
The entrance to their shops are
unique. They take you through a
back alley, if one can speak of a
water way as an alley, and then after
landing, you walk usually a long dis
tance through rear alleys, winding in
and out between tall buildings and
fenced enclosures... .sort of a back
yard. These alleys are narrow’ and
filthy dirty, so that one almost feels
defiled after having w’alked through.
Arriving at the particular shop which
we are to visit, we go up a rickety
winding stair case, sometimes several
stories, and behold. .. .a most wonder
ful display of the beautiful things of
the Orient lies before you. The ap
pearance of the shops inside is for
the most part clean and neat. In
some of them one could almost im
agine ones’ self in a European shop.
Some of the shopkeepers in their
great desire to sell and to out-do
some other shopkeeper, becomes ex
tremely hospitable and serve tea then
and there. One even went so far as
to give us a special invitation to his
home and served a Persian lunch.
To do this he had to engage a special
Mohammedan cook. He had promis
ed to serve us twenty-five courses,
but he stopped somewhere around the
eighteenth. A course however, means
just a very little of several different
dishes. The food seemed to be served
with at least some cleanliness and
care, and some of it was most tasty,
so wTe really enjoyed the occasion.
Though the native ruling Prince of
Kashmir is a Hindu and there are
some Hindus, the majority of the pop
ulation is Mohammedan. For the
most part they are a healthy, happy
looking people, and the women are
noted for their beauty. Many of them
are very fair and their features very
beautiful. They love to sing and as
they go about on the lake with their
shikaras, one often hears some really
attractive tunes. On one occasion
during our stay there the Muhamma
dans had a special festival which they
attended in great crowds. Seeing the
boats or shikaras passing our house
boat both day and night reminded one
of city traffic at home. One day w’as
especially set aside for the women and
they had the privilege that day of
seeing a few hairs from the beard of
Mohammed, but I suspect that it w’as
mostly the outing that gave them the
thrill.
At Kashmir, one misses social con
tacts and church fellowship with oth
er missionaries for there are not near
ly so many as we always find in Land
our. However, we did have some nice
services in a small group gathered to
gether on a beautiful small island. It
seemed strange to go to services by
boat. It was just twenty minutes
ride from our houseboat. We also
had a few enjoyable times otherwise
getting together with missionaries
from various places.
We visited some of the gardens laid
out by some of the old Moghul em
perors, and they were most beautiful.
Among the lovliest flowers were the
pansies and the roses. There were
many long bed of pansies about six
by twenty feet, and in each bed a
single color of flowers... .one of
brown, on of blue, one of white, etc.
Then there were large beds of the
largest and most exquisite kinds of
roses that I have ever seen. Also
large stone walls covered with the
most beautiful climbing roses. And
scattered around in the soft green
grass were the sweetest old fashioned
daisies. Some of the gardens also
have fountains so arranged that the
effect is very beautiful-when the wat
er is turned on also, one of the gard
nes had a large natural spring with a
strong, swift current of water flowing
all the time also a trout hatchery
where we saw millions of trout of
different sizes. The keepers fed them
and they came to the surface of the
water and tumbled over each other
in greedy heaps to snatch the food.
From Srinagar there are good mo
tor roads leading out in various di
rections to other lovely places of in
terest from perhaps fifty to one hun
dred miles away. We took two of
these trips, one to Phalgam and one
to Gulmarg, and we saw the most
beautiful mountain scenes and climb
ed the mountain sides. At Gulmarg,
we took ponies and rode up to the
snowline. Laurence climbed still
higher and brought back some deli
cately colored lavender rhondeden
drons.
Leaving Kashmir, we were forced
to return via Jammu instead of Ra
walpindi because of a motor lorry
strike on the Pindi side. The jour
ney front Srinagar to Jammu is a dis
tance of 203 miles and mountain road
nearly all the way. We had to cross
the Bonnehal pass which is about
nine thousand feet at the highest
point. Narrow roads, two wTay traf
fic, sharp corners and careless Indian
drivers and an entire day of such
travel was just about enough, it seem
ed to be, to provide thrills a plenty
for the most enthusiastic thrill hunt
ers. It was enough to make me say
that one in a life time is sufficient,
though I cannot regret having seen
beautiful Kashmir.
I must not forget to mention one
more thing w’hich is one of the main
attractions of Kashmir, and that is
delicious strawberries and cherries in
abundance, so that one can eat ones
fill. We certainly did enjoy them.
The cherries are mostly sweet cher
ries of both the light and dark var
ieties, and very large. Besides the
fruit our food was mostly vegetables
and mutton. Mutton is really the only
kind of meat available. Beef in any
form is strictly prohibited. Travel
ers are questioned at customs on the
way up whether they have any beef
or firearms. A funny incident is told
about a certain traveller who had
w’ith him a bottle of English candy.
The candy is in the shape of balls
almost like an eye, and is black and
they are called “bull’s eyes”. So
when he was asked whether he had
any beef with him he said, “I have
i some ‘bull’s eyes’’ Which almost ex
cited the customs officers.
The vegetables are locally grown
and one sees many floating gardens.
I seems difficult to tell just how these
gardens are made, but I shall try.
The lake bottom is covered with veg
etation. The gardener goes out with
his boat and pulls up these plants and
weeds, and with it takes some of the
soil w’hich clings to the roots. Then
he has a way of tying these togeth
er into a garden plot which he is
able to tow along and place it where
he wants it, and anchors it. On this
he puts soil and silt, and it forms his
garden. Sometimes a floating gard
en may be stolen and moved away to
some other place during the night. It
appears to be very hard work, but the
gardener seems to be well paid for
the soil is very productive and the
vegetables thrive well. We often saw
large boat loads of kohlrabi and
onions taken off to market. These
two kinds seemed to be the most plen
tiful at the season when we were
there, although there were other
kinds as well.
Though the above is by no means
a full description of Kashmir, there
would be much more to be told, yet
this may give you some little idea so
you will know- what to expect when
you plan to visit there.

‘Second Gibraltar’ Lies
In Mid-Channel,
Nearer France.
Prepared by National Geographic Society,
Washington. D. C.—WNU Service.
Already tagged as a “second
Gibraltar” is Alderney, of the
English channel islands, as re
ports from London indicate
that plans are under way to
fortify this little island which
is closer to the coast of France
than to the coast of England.
Sixty miles from England
at its nearest point, less than
ten miles from the Norman
dy shore, Alderney was once
described by Napoleon as “Eng
land’s shield.” During the Napole
onic wars and after, it was heavily
and expensively militarized by the
British, who also launched consid
erable construction on a great
breakwater that was to make the
isle’s principal harbor safe for the
British fleet. This haven is on the
north coast facing England.
A Rock-bound Coast.
Only about three and a half miles
long and with an average of one
mile in width, Alderney is something
of a natural fortress in itself. With
high precipitous cliffs on its south
and west coasts, it looms in many
spots from 100 to 200 feet above
foaming seas below.
Rocks surrounding the island
make navigation extremely hazard
ous on all but the northeast side.
Between Alderney and the French
mainland is a dangerous strait
known as the Race, where currents
and wind combine, in bad weather.

graph stars and galaxies of stars so
distant that he could never see them
with his own eyes through the same
telescope if he looked a lifetime.
This is because the effect of light
on a photographic emulsion is cumu
lative, w’hich is not true of the hu
man eye.
Photographic Processes Improved.
The “seeing” ability of telescopes
grows greater also as photographic
emulsions are improved and made
more sensitive. Better emulsions
make the 100-inch telescope at
Mount Wilson considerably more ef
ficient today, for example, than
w’hen it w’as built 20 years ago,
though its mirror remains the same
size.
But astronomers still would know
comparatively little about the uni
verse, if they merely looked at stars
and photographed them, even with
the largest telescopes. The light
that is concentrated by the giant
mirrors and lenses is not only pho
tographed directly, but is also bro
ken up into its spectrum of different
wave-lengths. By analyzing the
spectrum of a star, astronomers in
many cases can learn an amazing
number of things about it.—its dis
tance, mass, brightness, tempera
ture, size, speed of rotation, and
even sometimes the approximate
number of atoms it contains.

to churn the waters into wild, break
ing seas. On the other side of the
island, some seven miles west, is
the still greater hazard of the Cas
quet rocks on which many a ship
has gone down. Swinburne, the Eng
lish poet, once wrote a poem called
“Les Casquettes,” which described
a storm battering at the rocks and
mentioned a girl, who, it is claimed,
actually did live there.
Fortresses Still Usable.
Adding to the grim look of the is
land are the old forts and military
works, most of which have long
been dismantled. Fort Albert east
of the Harbor, Fort Tourgis on a
northwestern shoulder of the is
land, and Fort Essex on the south
eastern side, are still good, how
ever, for barracks. The latter,
named for Queen Elizabeth’s favo
rite, the Earl of Essex, was turned
into a military hospital, with facili
ties of wards, dispensary, and kitch
en.
Toward the interior, Alderney’s
fertile plateau displays a more invit
ing aspect. Almost in the center of
the island is located the only town,
St. Anne, with its well-paved streets,
postal telegraph office, hotels, and
shops.

Hero
(Continued from Page 1)
three miles south of town not far
from Gratz crossing. Enclossed by
a rude board fence, it lies in the se
clusion of an old family burial plot.
Two smaller unmarked graves in
the enclosure are believed to be
those of other members of the
Hubbell family.
The simple inscription on the
headstone reads: “Hezekiah B.
Hubbell, died Oct. 12, 1855, aged
100 years and one month. Served
in the Revolution under Washington
for seven years.”
Readrite Softball Team Wins
Second Straight Tops Celina 7-5
The Hubbell burial plot is located
but a short distance from the Dixie
highway. Today hundreds of cars
flash hourly over the road that as
an Indian trail he painstakingly
traveled in an ox cart when he first
came to this area.
Efforts made in recent years to
confirm Hubbell’s record of service
in the war of independence have been
fruitless. Official records at the
state house in Columbus do not bear
the name of Hubbell among the
Ohioans listed as members of the
Revolutionary forces.
Probably Irregular Soldier
While it is possible the musty
files of the war department at
Washington may list Hubbell’s name,
it is now believed that he probably
was one of the irregular soldiers,
hardy backwoodsmen who came and
went largely as they pleased, caring
little for military discipline and less
for honor and glory, but whose long
rifles with uneering aim more than
once turned the tide of victory for
Washington’s ragged continentals.
Chafing under the limitations of
army regulations, the backwoods
man’s name possibly never appeared
on the muster roll of Washington’s
troops, yet the service that he ren
dered must have borne its own satis
faction in the life of this man who
as a youth cast his lot with the
barefoot continental army which the
British disparagingly referred to as
“rabble in arms”.
Following the close of the Revolu
tion, life in the East likely became
tedious for the hardy backwoods
spirit and Hubbell set out across the
mountains seeking adventure in a
land of wild beasts and still wilder
men.
It was soon after Joseph Deford,
pioneer settler of Bluffton, had
erected his cabin and cleared a plot
of farmland along the Big Riley that
the Hubbell family made its appear
ance in this area. Deford settled
here in 1832 and the Hubbells ar
rived about six years later.
The emigrants undoubtedly passed
by hundreds of desirable farm spots
on their journey westward, but the
quiet woodland slopes and pleasant
surroundings in this part of the
country must have struck a respon
sive chord in the heart of the rugged
old pioneer, and it was here that
the command to halt was given.
Settle Near Bluffton
The family settled on what is
known as the old Benedict Andrews
farm about three miles southwest of
town on the Schifferly road, on Jan.
18, 1839. The land was purchased
from John Swain and the deed
drawn up to Hezekiah Hubbell.
For many years the several log
cabins erected on the farm resembled
a small village. Other pioneers call
ed the cluster of dwellings “Hubbell
town” and that name clung to the
section for many years following
Hubbell’s death.
Altho well over 80 years of age
when he settled in his new home
here, Hubbell was unflagging in his
battle to wrest the homestad from
the wilderness. He was active in
work about the farm until within a
few years of his death, and so de
voted was he to the environs that he
