THE MoNAsTERIEs OF METEoRA.
An Extraordinary Scene ON the Mace
DOMAIN Frontier.

From the Illustrated London News
Between the curve of the Macedonia
frontier OF the mount ains of Khassia and
the open town Of Kalabaka, which ter
inmates the long western plain Of Thes-
sally. lie the monasteries of Meteora.
casual glance gives the idea of the whole
space being occupied by lines of bare hills,
but on a nearer inspection a curious am
phitheater is found. carved out among the
mountains, and this is occupied by most
extraordinary collection Of rocks, on which
are perched-like storks' nests or the tur-
ban on a Turkish tOmbstOne-the aerial
mouasteries of Meteora. In one place
huge mouo.ith is found literally crowned
with buildings. as in the case of the Mon
astery of All Saints, popularity known as
Hagles Barlaam, in another a group OF
Jagged rocks will have one point capped
by a monastery, as is seen in St Nicholas.
The most striking feature about these
monasteries is the method by which they
are reached either by loose ladders hang
ing outside the perpendicular rocks, or by
being wound up by meas of windlass in
a net at the end of a rope.
From it's beautiful position, - size, and
the fair preservation of it's buildings, the
monastery of Hagios Barlaam is very
good specimen of these fifteenth century
mOndStGTleS. out Wudl Hldh6S lillS Ollt u
especial interest is that the rope is SAID
70 be the longest used for the purpose
$40 feet The ladders to this monastery
are not so difficult to climb as some but,
inasmuch as they pull out every time you
grip them and oscilate frightfully, it is
pleasanter to risk the net. The monastery
of Hagios Nikolaos appeared to be in
totally diapidated condition and entirely
deserted when we visited Meteora, while
the ladders, which are seen in the picture
rising from a neighboring peak and hang
ing from the bare rock, were impractical
BILE All of these monasteries are under
the Archimandrite, a man of commanding
presence and sanity countenance. The vii
lage of Kastraki is jammed in between
the outer rocks of this curious amphithea-
ter, and in the slit of this rocky wall at
the back of the village stands a most pc
culiar hourglass-lo looking monolith. The
rocks on either side are perforated with
strange holes, which in the fourteenth
century were inhabited by the monks of
St. Anthony.

The crew of the Mayhower consisted of

after the sun-blaze, and. when she wrote
her description of Norway, the Land of
the Midnight Sun. she did so with shud-
ders. as depicting something too horrible
for calm thought. She writes in whatever
gown is best fitted to her story. Those
who have seen her lately in her spring
room say that she is dressed in Louis
Quinze suit, with broad cuffs and lapels,
and that a story of that century must be
on the pad.
Amelia Barr, the wonderful Old woman
of sixty. who looks and writes like a girl
of forty. is busy now in her summer room
getting up the story which il is very likely
NAV prove much better than Trilby' and
almost as popular.
She writes in a large. roomy newly built
country house at CornwIll-on-th e-Hudson.
Though an Englishwoman and busy
writer, she is a much sought-aIter resi-

The piazza Is also used for another pur-

her writings for the time being into her
life, and the piazza becomes Scottish
homestead an Irish shauty. a French cha
teau or plain American dwelling. The
furniture Is changed TO suit the time and
place OF writing and meals are served out
there IN accord with the surroundings at
the time.
A visitor 20 the Barr home one summer
found Mrs Barr and the daughter who as
sists her up at 4 o'clock IN the morning
eating a corn cake and drinking Scottish
Cruel They were partaking Of tho break

book like Jan Neddcr's Wife" is being
written they eat ish-always hsh-for
Norway,
The piazza looks far up and down the
Hudson. and the only time Mrs Barr has
stopped work for twcnty-one years WAS
when the piazza was being built She
saw It's summer possibilities and was go
impatient to see q finished that She could
not work.
