Then came the Mohammedan out
break. During the centuries when
the followers OF the Prophet overran
the eastern world this little spot
held out for Christianity.
The convent stands at the foot OF
the mountain called Jabal Musa,
which, according to many authori-
ties. is the actual mountain where
the Ten Commandments were COM
mitted to Moses By the Lord. The
site OF the Monastery, according TO
this theory. is the spot where Moses
delivered the Commandments to the
children OF Israel. This is a disputed
question, but there Is little doubt
that II is an important site. for the
natives in all ages have revered It.
Here passed the children OF Israel
during their forty years wandering
on their way from Egypt TO the Holy
Land. Here occurred the many mir
acles and wonderful events of the
Exodus-the cloud by day and the
pillar OF fire by night. the feeding OF
the people with mama. the miracu-
lous production Of water by Moses,
the battle with the Amalekites, the
appearance OF the Lord on the
mount, the building Of the Ark, the
worshipping of the golden calf. the
budding OF Aaron's rod. the raising
OF the brazen serpent by Moses and
finally the death OF Moses.
The Sinaitic Peninsula covers
about 10000 square miles, and there
was plenty OF room for the forty
years wandering. The traveller who
sees the land to-day can easily un-
derstand why miracles were neces-
sary to keep the children OF Israel
alive. 1t Is an exceedingly barren
wilderness. largely composed OF
rocks. 1t only maintains handful
number has hardly changed since
the land Is very picturesque, and the
red mountains rising abruptly into
the clear sky are wonderful
Nearly all the sites mentioned in
Exodus and the other books OF
the Old Testament are identified by
the monks and by local traditions.
There is a peak called Jabal Raises.
Safsaf, which Is said to be the exact
spot from which Moses witnessed
the worshipping of the golden calf
by the children of Israel. 1t is a
small peak, giving an excellent view
we'll have been the place where the
Israelites INDUCED in their idola-
trous festivities, as described in
Exodus:
And 1t came to pass as soon "a
he came nigh unto the camp that he
saw the calf and the dancing; and
Moses's anger waxed hot, and he
cast the tables out Of his hands and
brake them beneath the mount.
"And he took the calf which thew
had made and burnt It in the fire.
and ground 1t to powder and strewed
1t upon the water, and made tho
children Of Israel drink Of it,"
The peak where Moses is reputed,
to have witnessed this scene is mari.
of the same group where the leader
Of the chosen people received the
Ten Commandments from heaven
The local traditions assigning sites
for all these ancient occurrences
seem very reasonable.

the 'tOodex Sinalticus." BY some
scholars 1t Is dated as early as the
fourth century, and In that case it is
the oldest practically complete man
uscript OF the Bible. 1t consists Of
most OF the Old Testament, all the
New Testament and "the Epistle OF
Barnabas."
This wonderful collection Of manu-
scripts Tischendorf carried away
without saying a word to the monks.
There are doubtless collectors to-
day who would give 100000 for
these manuscripts. When the monks
slowly realized that they had been
robbed OF one OF the most precious
possessions in the religious world,
they became very angry. and their
anger lasted a long time.
For years travellers who visited
the out-of-the-world monastery re.
ported that the monks we're surly
and inhospitable. and would not af-
ford reasonable opportunity for an
examination OF their treasures. Many
OF these visitors reported that the
monks were ill-using their manu-
scripts in a deplorable manner, using
them as stands for cooking utensils
and flower pots.
FINALLY, IN 1884, two brilliant Eng
Hshwom Smith Lewis and
Mrs. Gibson-succeeded In winning
the confidence Of the monks and Sc
cured permission to make an exam
ination OF the library. Their search
was richly rewarded, for they dis
covered fourth century pallmpsest
manuscript OF St. Paul's Gospel In
Syriac. This is probably the oldest
known Bible manuscript, for the
TiEchendorf Codex, even allowing II
the oldest date mentioned, would
barely equal 1t.
Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Gibson found
that In order to put the library in
thorough order and reveal even
specifically all that it contained
would require the labors of a con-
siderable staff Of trained workers.

The present movement aims to

evidence that it was translated from

the Sinaitic peninsula. In one re-
spect it is even more interesting
than the Holy Land. for the wealth

scholars and religious leaders OF

lieved that the oldest existing Bible
manuscripts are TO be found.
Discoveries already made indicate
with practical certainty that these
manuscripts must. be there. but for
peculiar reasons very little progress
has been made IN searching for
them. During the years 1914, 1853
and 1859 the German scholar Tisch-
endorf spent much time exploring
the monastery library.
The monks were then very simple
and hospitable and quite unfamiliar
with the ways Of the outside world.

AN OLD INDIAN LEGEND.
The Incidents That Led Up to the
Naming of Poughkeepsie.

The Incidents That Led Up to the
Naming of Poushkeepsie.
During the days when the Indians
still held sway on the banks of the
Hudson there was a fierce battle be-
tween the Delaware and the Pequot
tribes. The former won, and among
their captives was a handsome young
Pequot brave. He was offered his life
If he would swear allegiance to the
Delawares and be branded with their
tribal mark-the turtle. He refused,
and preparations were then made to
kill him. AS his enemies were on the
point of doing this young Indian girl
broke into the circle and begged for
his life. She had at one time been
Pequot, but had been captured by the
Delawares and forced to join their
tribe. Her appeals were so touching
that the warriors were debating the
matter when the party was attacked
by still another enemy, the Huron In
aians. In the excitement the girl cut
her lovers bonds. but the two found
themselves in the midst of fierce bat
tie and eventually became separated
The young warrior escaped, but the
girl was captured by a Huron chief.
Determined to rescue her at any cost,
the Pequot brave disguised himself as
a medicine man and entered the camp
Of the Hurons. BY some pretext he
gained admission to the tent where the
girl was kept prisoner, and late at
night they managed to escape in the
darkness. Their fight was soon dis
covered and pursuit began, but the
young couple reached the river far
enough in advance of their pursuers to
embark in canoe and push off from
shore. They were still followed, but
the warrior was young and strong and
succeeded In getting his little craft
safely into cove at the junction of
the great river and q little stream en-
tering into it between two high, pro-
tecting banks, where they hid, and
later found a friendly tribe
Rejoicing that the place had been a
"safe harbor' for the girl and her low
er in time of peril, it was 50 designated
in the Pequot tongue. the Indian equiv
alent being "Apa-keep-sinck." Today,
after having filtered through the Dutch
and English tongues, 1t is known as
eepsie.-Ladies' Home Journal.

will deny that there Is considerable
truth in the remark. Amazing indeed
are some of the revelations which the
professor makes regarding crabs.
He relates, for instance, how the
common hermit crab actually keeps a
housemaid to clean out his house.
When he first starts life this particu-
lar species of crab hunts for some large
shellfsh's she'll In which he can live
at ease, rent free. He usually chooses
a large whelk shell and introduces q
large seaworm, belonging to what is
known as the "nereis" family and
which grows to a length of six or
eight inches, to keep the interior of
the shell clean. The crab feeds hearth
ly on sea creatures that wander care
lessly into the shell and throws the in
digestible parts of them about the
sumes these remains and keeps the
shell as clean as new pin.
The artfulness of this crab, too, is
strikingly illustrated by the ingenious
manner In which he protects himself
against the large fish which look upon
him as an excellent article Of food
Sometimes he induces a sponge to
grow on his she'll Sponges in living
condition give out n strong odor which
is distinctly unpleasant to fish, and
even a dogfish will not attack a crab
protected in this manner.
