REAL CASTLES IN THE AIR.
Monasteries Of the Orient That Are
Accessible by Means Of
Ropes Only.

Among the most recent and curious
acquisitions OF the Metropolitan mu-
scum Is gallery of photographs re-
ceived from an attache of the Turkish
legation who, in his diplomatic journeys
about the world, has gathered remark
able collection of pictorial castles in the
air. All of them are colored, says the
Detroit Free Press, the same as the orig
lnais' and perhaps the most curious are
the Meteora monasteries, near Larissa,
on the Gulf of Salonica, in Turkey.
Accompanying each photograph is a
running comment in which the monas-
terles are described as having been orig
inally set far alOft in their impregnable
location for reasons of safety. A few
years ago, only eight of the original %
were inhabited, the remainder having
been destroyed, often by artillery fire
from commanding positions in the vi
cinity.
The monastery of St. Stephens is the
only one which could be entered on
foot, a plank drawbridge spanning the
ABYSS dividing it from the adjacent
mountain. This queer building was in
vaded by the Turkish Irregular Guards
in 1886. Disappointed in the rich booty
they expected, the vandals tortured and
Killed many of the monks. All of them
would have been slain in the first Greek
war OF revolution had it not been for the
English and Russian consuls at Larissa.
The other monasteries can be entered
only by means of ropes, windlasses and
nets, In which visitors sit and are drawn
up to a small window several hundred
feet in the air. Generally the monks
themselves use the ladders, and look like
black flies crawling up the face of the
rock.
Perhaps the most picturesque of the
ancient castles are Barlaam and Hagla
Moni, in the same neighborhood. Life
to-day in those aerial castles is the most
peaceful possible-no sound coming up
from below save the tinkling of the
sheep bells and occasional faint cries of
the villagers. The air is DELIGHTFULLY."-
fresh and pure, and all around stretches
magnificent panorama of rich plains,
brilliantly tinted hills and snowy noun
tains. Yet to-day the region is infested
with brigands, and every precaution is
taken to prevent unwelcome visitors en-
tering the lofty castles.
Besides these Turkish castles are
others in many corners of the world, one
of the most interesting being in China.
1t is the dwelling place and temple of a
small band of monastic priests on the
top and side of giant rock in the middle
of the Yangtsekiang river It about
three miles below Hankow, and is sell
dom visited by tourists It has all the
charms of mountain home and is one
of the most picturesque sights in Asia.

MAKING OVER OF PEKlNC.
Modern Buildings Are Being Erected
in the Capital City Of
China.

Picking is becoming something like a
modern city. Three railways now enter
the venerable walls, which have been
cut for that purpose, says the Chicago
Recorc-Herald.
New stations, warehouses and busf-
ness Offices have been built on modern
plans which form striking contrast to
the ancient structures that surround
them.
Nearly all of the European powers
have erected new legations upon an
extensive scale, which make up a mod
ern colony at one corner of the ancient
city, surrounded by massive walls and
deep moats, which are intended as a
protection in case of another siege.
There are barracks for military
guards connected with each of the le-
cations, and at present about 1,40O SOL
diers, representing all of the great pow
ers, furnish what some people think is
a necessary protection.
The United States has about $50 in
fantrymen, who, by their intelligence,
education and manly appearance, offer
a striking contrast to the troops of
other nations. One never realizes the
moral and intellectual superiority OF the
rank and file of the United States army
until it Is placed beside the conscripts
Of Europe
The American legation is slowly ap-
preaching completion. The architect,
an American, has had variety OF diff
culties to meet and obstacles to over
come, but has done his work well, and
although the new buildings are by no
means appropriate to the dignity of the
United States and the magnitude of the
interests represented, they are a de-
cided improvement over the old ones.

Good for the Sheen.

Dry lime and ashes should be kept
where the sheep resort. Stacked lime,
if scattered freely, will set the sheep
to sneeezing, and many grubs will ba
thrown out. This should be done in
the morning, as the grubs are then
lower down in the nostrils than at
other times.-Midland Farmer.

Diversity.

Diversity! Plan to raise at least
fruits and vegetables enough for home
use. Special farming, or one crop
farming, is well enough in its place,
but we must not depend too much upon
It. What do you think about it?

\ few of our friends fail to see
the justice in discriminating be-
tween the new subscriber ami IA re-
newal by an old one in Tue cores
poudents contest, but the reason Is
perfectly apparent upon mo-
ment's reflection. We want the
old subscriber to renew, because we
get the amount of subscription
and have bis name for another
year, but, in the case of new SUBJ
scriber, we get the money, and,
along with it, a new name On our
list. In the one instance we have
a claim on both the man and his
purse. in the other case we estab-
fish a claim where we had none at
all. But the prime reason for this
discrimination WAS designed for
CORRESPONDENTS themselves, to whom
We looked for great things III the
contest: You can go to non
subscriber, with all grace, and urge
him to take the paper, setting
forth Il three.fold benefit helpng
you, encouraging us and dong
good for himself and familv-but
it would be embarrassing some
what to seek out old subscribers
and endeavol to secure votes by
asking them to settle for their pa
per. We believe this explanation
will suffice, and we hope each con-
testant will try to get us few
new names, every one of which
counts six votes for yourself.

The situation in the far East is
not materially changed. Toxic
reioices over the taking of the new
posjtion--203- Meter hill--near Port
Arthur, from which, it is claimed ,
tie Japs can command the harbor,
and with siege guns, sweep the
whole city.
The land forces remain close to-
gether, strongly eutrenched, but
not much doing. With the mer,
curv gradually going down, and
the two big armies close enough
to hear each other talk, one can
readily conclude that both sides
are feeling a little Shakhe.

The Louisiana Purchase Exposi'
ton has ended. From the incep-
ton of the project until the portals
were thrown open occupied IA period
Of seven wears. The duration of
the exposition has been seven
months. and in that time nothing
has occurred to throw a dampening
effect ON the interest or to detract
from the exposition i'll any way.
The best order has been maintain
ed throughout; there were few
fires, but all were of small mo-
ment. with the exception OF the de-
sruction of the House of Hoo Hoo
and the partia! destruction of the
Missouri Building recently. The
former was Immediately rebuilt.
No loss of life has occurred during
the exposition from accidents.
The man probably most prom
npntlv known in connection with
the Worlds Fair is the president,
David II Francis, and it WAS deem
cd fitting that the final day should
y. designated as Francis Day IN
his honor.
Il is estimated that the attrn-
dance was in the neighh"rhood of
n record br, akcr, but it will not be
known until the attendance figures
nre officially announced. The Of
fc;ul announcement last Sunday
night showed that 1S,3l7,4o7 add
missions have been recorded since
the exposition opened on April 30.
The banner months attendance
WAS in September, when the total
attendance was 1861 .813. The
largest single DAYS attendance was
ON September 10, when st. Louis
Day" was observed.

the wish that the great collection

Light and instruction of those who
are TO come after us Rut, Of
course, this cannot be. The vast
buildings are necessarily temper.

cost Of maintaining the Fair all

plate the destruction of this mag
nificent aggregation without keen
regret.

Observation-Disclosures Preparations
for an Alarm--PoUer Of Discipline.
Surprise tests to show, for one thing,
how faithfully rules are observed, and
for another to accustom persons 3previ-
ously drilled to act properly in case Of
emergency, are made of many people
and in many ways.
They are made, for example, of en-
CINE men on railroads, to see how close
ly they are obeying signals. These sur
prise tests are made by changing track
signals. A common test is to put a sig
nal in stop position at an unexpected
time and place. Tests are also; made
with torpedoes, and with flags, and with
lanterns; with switch lights out, and
with lights out In semaphores; with
block signals and with railroad cross
ing semaphores at danger.
Another way Of observing the engine
man, a way described as surprise
checking. is by the employment Of SUI
pervisors and inspectors who, TRAVELLING
on the road, observe the conduct Of the
engine man in the face Of signals 1re-
serted to him in the ordinary course.
And various officials take note Of the
engine mans observance OF signals, as
do track men. f1agmen and signalnen;
all these various ways other than by
surprise tests constituting the means
more generally employed.
