MONASTERY OF z|CA
Ancient Edifice il Servia That
Was Built in 1907.
Small Chapel of Tenth Century Con-
tains Many Frescoes Perfectly
Preserved, Except That Turks
Shot the Eyes Out.

Tschatschak, Servia.-The following
narrative was written by a woman,
who was the first of her sex to visit
the Monastery of Zica, near this city.
She tells of her experiences in the an
cient edifice 1t follows:
We got away from Tschatschak at
two O'Clock for the Monastery of Zfca,
pronounced Schitscha, which stands
high amid the mountains, five kilome-
tiers from Kraljevo. 1t was built in
1907 and is the monastery in which
Servian kings are crowned, a special
door being made for each and walled
up after the ceremony. 1t was here
that King Alexander Obrenowitsch,
poor unfortunate, was crowned in
1892, and the present King Peter in
1904
Two hours more of climbing and we
arrived at the Cabana of Studenitza.
before the monastery gates. Inside, to
our surprise, all was clean and well
kept the paths, the green turf, the
trees laden with fruit and well cared
for, and the beautiful marble church
itself with its fine doors and dome. We
we're Immediately received by the arch
imandrite bishop, the head of the
monastery, who seemed most delighted
to see US and told me was the first
stranger woman he had ever received.
We were at once taken upstairs into
the guest rooms of the convent long
corridor of clean boards, the only clean
rooms / had seen since l left home.
Here we took the inevitable slatko and
very good slivovitz and cGbowitz, which
is liquor made from grapes, and
then went into the churches-the first
and oldest, small chapel of the tenth
century, full of old frescoes, in a per-
feet state Of preservation-except that
the Turks shot out the eyes of the
saints when they occupied the con-
vent
There are fourteen or fifteen small
chapels-one behind the cathedral
built by Stepan Urosch, grandson of
the holy Simeon, who founded the con-
vent in 1914. The cathedral, of white
marble, built in the twelfth CEN
fury, is the most beautiful monument
of old Servia and well worth the long
journey to see. Owing to a stupid ad-
dition. the beautiful old carved doors

Girl Goes Hunting in Order to
Save Set of FurS.
Never Known to Miss Fair Shot.
Miss Helen EIcock Of Quincy,
Mass, Has IS Kills to
Her Credit.

Quincy, Mass.-Quincy owns to the
youngest and perhaps the most sue
cessful woman fox hunter in the coun
try. Her name is Helen B. Elcock
and she is still couple of years or
the near SIDE of twenty.
Last year rs red and 1 black fox
fell victims to her skill with the
rife. and she has started out with the
avowed intention of lettering this
record.
II all came about in a curious way
Miss Eleock. like any other girl. long
ed to be the owner OF a set Of real,
sure enough furs Her father jok-
ingly suggested that the easiest and
quickest way for her to get the GOV.
eted articles would be to go out and
collect her own skins. He also offer
ed to take her along on one Of his
hunting trips. being an ardent fox
hunter himself.
Miss Elcock needed no second in
vitation. Dressed in regulation hunt
ing costume and armed with a re-
peating rife. she started of with her
father and his pack of hounds
The result of her first hunt was
two fine pelts. and subsequent trips,
some of them made alone, brought the
seasons total up to 25.
Her fox skins, which she proudly
exhibits. have brought buntsmen
from all over the state to view her
trophies. After her exceptional sue
cess Miss Elcock decided that she
would keep her fox skins for exhibit
tion instead OF having them made into
garments.
Miss Elcoek's skill with rife is con-
sidered remarkable. as she has never
been known to miss fox when fair
target was offered. She also is a
crack shot with a revolver.
She now has her own pack of IA
thoroughbred foxhounds.
On one occasion Miss Elcock cap
tured alive a baby fox. which she
took home with her. 1t is now a
sturdy little creature, and follows its
owner like a dog. It never makes any
attempt TO escape. although allowed
almost complete freedom.
In speaking OF her hunting trips,
Miss Elcoek grows enthusiastic. THE
outdoor life is simply splendid" she
says. Getting up at two or three
o'clock in the morning and going out
after foxes may sound like pretty
hard work to some people. but to me
1t is so much play. The fresh air
and exercise are great health builders.
| used to be considered frail, but now
! never know what It is to be ILL.,"
Miss Elcock has almost as great
record as a snake killer as a fox
hunter Last year she killed scores
OF rattlers. the largest being 4 feet
8 inches in length. and bearing IA
rattles.

New York.-A real Noah's Ark OF
approximately the same size as the
original Of the Old Testament, con
tanning animals In great variety and
capable Of navigating any sea. is the
unique plan of company which has
become public here. In reality the
ship will be huge marine circus.
The plans provide for a ship with a
length OF 525 feet. corresponding as
nearly as may be to that OF its
prototype: a beam of 80 feet. a tribe
less than the supposed width OF
Noah's ship. and depth from awning
ridge to keel of little more than fifty
feet. or about the same as its original.
Her lines will be those of first
class freighter of from 10000 to $4,000
tons and, like several of the latest
ships of its class, she will be fitted
with oil engines in order that space
and fuel may be economical and fun
nels dispensed with.
This will secure an uninterrupted
view In the arena. In the lower hold.
anti-roll tanks will be placed In posi-
ton to lessen motion in heavy seas.
and there will be oil reservoirs. ma
chiIery and engine-rooms. and store
rooms in addition to water-tight COM
partments. while a double skin and
bottom will make the ark practically
unsuitable and uncapsizable.

tiers for the various side shows. for an

Story of the Famous Battle OF
Gettysburg, Fought Fifty
Years Ago.
LOSS OF LIFE WAS FEARFUL
Both Armies Struggled BraVeIy, and
the Confederates Were Conquered
Only After Three Days Of
Bloody Conflict.

Fifty years ago nearly 10000 Amer.
leans met on the field of Gettysburg,
and for three days fought one of the
greatest battles of history. Gen. Rob
ert e. Lees army of some $4,000
southerners which had invaded the
north was met there and overcome by
about $4,000 Federal troops under the
command Of Gen. George g. Meade,
and the tide of fortune in the Civil
war which up to then had often ia
vored the south, was turned. There
after the Confederacy was on the de-
fensive.
Though the south lost the battle,
there was nothing to choose betw. On
their bravery in the conflict ana that
of the northerners. Both armies
fought with valor and stubbornness,
and the losses in dead and wounded
were tremendous.
Commanding the corps of the Union
army were Generals John +. Reynolds,
w. S Hancock, Daniel F. Sickles,
George Sykes, John Sedgwick, o. o.
Howard and II. w. Slocum. Lees
corps commanders were Generals
James Longstreet, Richard S, Ewell
and A p. Hill.
Reynolds, sent ahead to feel out the
enemy, arrived at Gettysburg the eve
ming Of June 81, and in the fighting
which began early the next day was
killed Gen. Abner Doubleday, who
succeeded him, was forced back to
Seminary Ridge, after hard lighting
and then had to abandon that posi-
tion, 30 that the first day of the bat
tie was in reality a Confederate vic
tory. That night Meade ordered the
entire Union army to Gettysburg, and
by next morning the two armies were
confronting each other along a ten
mile line of battle.
Lee ordered Longstreet "a turn the

The third day opened with a won

the entire war, and then came Pick

they fell like grain before the reap
ers, some of them reaching the Union
lines, only to be speedily overcome.
That ended the mighty battle, and
there was nothing left for Lee to
do but get back into Virginia.
Gettysburg cost the Union army the
lives OF a number Of generals, and the
loss of nearly $4,000 men. On the
Confederate side FIVE generals were
killed and nearly 10000 men killed or
wounded.
