damaged, and several serious assures
were opened Through these rain.
water permeated, and still permeates,
the whole masonic texture of the
dome, thus constantly weakening it.
Several cracks and assures also.
barely perceptible to the naked eye,
disfgure the harmony of the superb
mosaics in the interior of the dome.
Beyond Turkish Skill.
Several local attempts to fill nm
these chinks have proved far beyond
Turkish skill and knowledge, and
what once was an object of glory and
splendor is now a picture of decay
and of threatening ruin. A Constan-
tinople expert declares that if moth
ing is done the dome will break down
in about fifteen or twenty years.
Last year the Ottoman government
engaged the wellknown Italian arch
itect, Signor Marangoni, who had re.
stored the campanile on the Piazza
st. Marco in Vienna, to investigate
st. Sophia's dome and submit a de.
tailed account of necessary repairs.
Signor Marangoni estimated the cost
of these repairs at about 100000.
The Ottoman government considered
this was too high a sum to be spent
on an object that is, after all, of no
paramount national interest to the
Moslems themselves, since the edifice
is, Of course, a Christian house of
worship. They commenced, therefore,
to bargain with Signor Marangoni,
who left Constantinople in disgust.
A special commission has now been
formed of French, Italian and Turkish
experts. But as is generally the case
in Turkey, an interminable period of
discussion must first ensue, during
which affairs are left to fate. A COM
petent authority states, however, that
this commission is quite unable to
perform the task, and that, in the
end, Signor Marangoni will again be
! requested to undertake the resora-
ton of the dome, this time with a
free hand.

feet was established by the lamented
Renega', your subcommittee on alti-
tude adopted a resolution that the
limit of attainment in the upper ether
had been reached; yet less than two
months after, Santuza, the daring
Spanish aviator, flying his 200 horse
power Mercadio tri-plane with the inn
proved ailerons, reached the incredi-
BILE height of 23,76O feet, when the
ink in his barometer ran out and re-
fused to register a greater height, al
though Santuza is of the belief that
he climbed almost 1000 feet higher.
To pause for a moment from the
subject nearest our hearts, let me
only 81 eak for moment of the deris-
ion and ridicule heaped upon Column

of the insults and scorn directed at

tyrs in the realm of science, inven-
ton and discovery who, at first de-
nounced as fakirs and preposterous
humbugs, were proven after lapse OF
time to have been honest, sincere and
truthful in their claims.
Bearing these facts of history in
mind, permit me to present herewith
brief, accurate and truthful account
OF all that happened during my recent
ascent when, with the aid of John
Aid, my invaluable and greatly
mourned mechanic, l established an
altitude record which / do not believe
will ever be exceeded, if indeed 1t is
reached by other aviators within our
time. For not only are the difficulties
such that our machines will have to
be improved in some miraculous man.

breathing obstacles to further eXplor-
alton of the upper ether which. will
make all such experiments extremely
hazardous, and probably fatal to even
the most yenturesome aviator. For
have the important announcement TO
make, almost beyond your powers OF
belief, that | have discovered that the
upl er ether is inhabited This
astounding discovery was made stimuli
taneously by me and my mechanic,
John Aid, for whom the voyage OF ex-
ploration brought death In an unprece-
dented and most deplorabte manner.

Great Byzantine Dome

The magnificent dome of the world

architectural marvel of ages past, is
beginning to yield to the heavy
weight of its sixteen centuries of ax-
istence. Time, humidity, earthquakes,
CONGREGATIONS and bombardments

share of damage undermining slowly

spiration and Hellenic achievement.
1t is not likely that the dome will
ever be restored to it's full original
beauty and magnifcence, as only its
designer, Anthemius of Tralles, who
died in the sixth century, knew the
mysterious problems and the secrets
of the marvellous construction. AL
ready the casual observer perceives
that the eternal aspect of the cupols
presents no more a smooth, even
semi-circular outline. The eastern
part of it defects downward.

most in the course of ages. In $50
it was destroyed by an earthquake
