known country. The mission" as the
invasion is automatically called, has
necessitated the continued exposure Of
a very large number Of untried men
to life at attitudes ranging between

general results are Of considerable

Mountain sickness has been closely
observed by the medical men accom-
panying the mission. Indigestion has
been common on account Of the eating
Of imperfectly cooked food. At 5000
feet water boils at temperature about
30 degrees f. lower than at sea level,
and the normal amount Of cooking 10
therefore quite inadequate. At $4,000
feet It Is almost impossible to boil rice

make the native understand these

the natural result.

work Whether you handle a pick

out work are men who worked the
hardest Don't be afraid Of killing
yourself with work. my son. Men
cannot work so hard as that on the
sunny side OF thirty. They die some
times, but 1t Is because they uuit
work at 6 p. IN. and don't get homo

Iuly aud Helen had invited number

hostess entertained her guests by tax

she had planned other del'ghtf"' en-

At length the place WAS reached.
1t was not n public picnic ground; In

reached the spot the road lay between
great open fields, the canyons just
visible across them. They turned on
the road and drove through u great
field: when they reached the trees they
all stepped from their traps and the
girls waited while the boys fed aud
watered the horses. then they walked
down steep incline and into the
canyon. At frst they were swed by
the grandeur and silence OF the place
silent but for the rush OF the river
and the occasional song OF bird; but
they were young and full OF life and
fun, and 1t was not for long that the
serious mood lasted.
The boys fell to gathering faxots
for a tre on which to roast the chick

did this by taking two-pronged stick.

NEW Works. DwARFeO SPIRES.
Modern Skyscrapers BelittIe the State.
~ GOthics.

One Of the most notable effects Of
the high and massive modern archi-
lecture In New York has been the
dwarfing OF Gothic church spires. Old
Trinity spire. which a dozen years ago
was landmark for the region all
about New York bay has long been
made insignificant by the marble pack
ing boxes. some of them exceeding 1t
in height. with which It Is surrounded.
The noble view up Wall street, which
the artists have done much to perpet-
uate. still remains, but there Is hardly
beautiful spirc in the city can be seen
to advantage. Grace spire still dom
mates the view mp Broadway, but that
church pays large annual rental to
prevent construction on the front OF
the lot to the SOUTH which is used in
summer for an Open-air restaurant.
Everywhere the Gothic spires are
being crowded about and belittled by
the pressure of business and the many
stored architecture Of the day. But
the most notable victory over the ira
ditlonal spire Is in the case OF DIR.
i'arkhurst's Madison avenue church
The present editice. liemmed In on two
sides by skyscraping Office building
which belittles It's spire. has been sold
across Twentyfourth street Obvious
ly Gothic architecture and a spire
would be at the same disadvantage on
that lot as the present spire is on the
other side Of the street SO the archi-
tect has designed a church which Is
COrinthian In its main features. but
with the addition Of a dome. 1t will
look like bank rather than the con-
ventiOnal church, but it will suit the
situation. and ii is only ono example
Of the extent to which the American
school OF business architecture is mod
flying the ideals OF church builders.
