lowing, there surely will be found one
which will suit the palate of all:

Beautiful Bronze SundiaI Serves as a Landmark

NEARLY all strangers who travel to
~ the beautiful close of the Cathedral
Of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, on
Mount Saint Alban, gather around the
sundial. Most of them mount. the
three granite steps to stand on the
narrow granite platform about the
sundial and its rectangular pedestal
the better to read the inscription and
to study the devices engraved on
stone and bronze. The structure Is
called "the cathedral landmark and
sundial." According to the handbook
of the Washington Cathedral, "On
Ascension Day, A. D. 1906, the land
mark given by Mrs. Julian James to
commemorate the freedom of the
cathedral land from debt and the con-
sequent hallowing Of the cathedral
close was presented and consecrated.
This landmark is a beautiful bronze
sundial, surrounding an open air al
tar, on which are inscribed the names
of those it commentaries. The sun
dial marks not only the hours of the
day, but the different seasons Of the
Christian year by means of a device
designed by the bishop and worked
out by Rev. Prof. Bigelow."
Beginning at the northwest edge OF
the altar is this inscription:

Brokers Do a Biz Business in Stolen Stamps

I INSPECTORS have learned that
stamps of all classes and denomi-
nations stolen by burglars from post
Offices and embezzled by employees
from great business houses and manu-
featuring establishments were pur-
chased and resold by the brokers at
prices far below their face value.
The postal laws make 1t a crime
punishable by Imprisonment to sell
any stamp issued by the government
for less than its face value. Investi-
cations disclosed the fact that, In ad-
lition to selling the stamps for less
han a price they could have been
purchased for from the government,
the brokers in many cases knew that
the stamps we're stolen when they
purchased them.
Stamp frauds against the govern
ment and various business concerns
aggregating hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars annually have been unearthed
in New York city alone, while Illegal
t~raficking in stamps in many other
cities has reached large proportions.

Expert Saws Icebergs Are Invisible by Night

apt to be indistinguishable from the
sky, and would always be so If they
stood alone out on a plain or out at
sea.
I'm order to test this matter, notice
first that 1t Is the most nearly hori-
zontal top surfaces of a berg, snowy
roof or other white object that re-
ceive the most skylight, and conse-
quently most nearly match it. 1t fol-
lows that with the average hilltop
shape of an iceberg it will be the
highest expanses Of it visible from
the ships watch that are surest to be
indistinguishable. These highest ex-
panses of course constitute the con
tour that the watch would see II the
berg were visible, and when these be
come thus effaced the berg itself is
effaced.
Even when a near berg is not tall
enough to stand up against the sky
to the eyes of the watch its top will
necessarily be looked at against the
most distant part of the sea; and
this part averages, especially in calm
weather, much brighter than the
nearer water; and a sky-matchine
berg top could not often he distin'
guished from it any better than from
the sky ITSELF"

of the New York state government
at Albany. The employee confessed
to post office inspectors that he re-
mitted to the stamp broker from $25
to $50 a week In stamps stolen from
the state.
The department redeems postal
cards from original purchasers at rs
per cent. OF their face value. A few
weeks ago a member OF congress and
a former deputy commissioner Of po-
lice Of New York City requested the
third assistant acknowledgement to
redeem more than a million cards for
a constituent Of the representative.
Inquiry by inspectors developed tho
fact that the cards we're the property
OF a stamp broker, whose business Is
declared by the department officials
to be clearly illegitimate.
