Made Out of Trees

IN Santa Rosa. California is a church
constructed entirely from the wood of Il
single redwood tree, the size of which can
be roughly computed from the fact that
after the church, which is a large one, had
been erected enough material remained
from which to cut sixty thousand shingles.
In a somewhat different sense church
in Gippsland, in the eastern part of Vie
toria. Australia, may be said to have
required only Il single treetrunk for its
construction, inasmuch as giant cucalyp-
tus was followed out until room suf-
ficent to contain a congregation of fifty
was formed
In San Jose, California, there is SINH
lar church capable of holding twenty-five
worshipers and a small organ.
Close by the little village of Laurel
Run. Pennsylvania, only Il few miles from
Wilkesbarrc, is an odd and beautiful little
chapel. 1t is Il mission of Saint Stephens
Episcopal Church of Wilkesbarre, and is
built of rough logs with the bark left on.
The baptismal font is composed of field
stones of varying sizes, piled up roughly
and cemented together, with depression
in the top arranged so as to hold water.
The altar. chancel rail, chandeliers, and all
other interior fixtures, are composed of the
same material as the walls. This chapel is
a favorite spot with the fashionabes of
Wilkesbarre for celebrating their weddings.

grass, space being left for a door and three
windows
On the island of Maize, off the African
coast, near Madagascar, is church built
of blocks of white coral.
Chicago has church constructed of Wit
rifed clay throughout, even the window
frames being of that material. The deco
rative features are white terracotta, as
we'll as altar, communion rail, and organ
loft. The ceiling is of brick and tile vault
ing. the keystones of terracotta, and theribs
of the arches and groins of nodded brick
Another popularity attaches to this church;
for, like Soomon's temple, it was built
without sound of hammer, not single nail
having been used in its construction.

that Of Walter Carmac as "Stella wife of
the above-named Walter Carmac, and
formerly known as Stella Ingersoll.'
The lawyers extraordinary haste and
anxiety with regard to the two wills was
explained after the funeral.
Il have always had reason to believe
that the validity of the marriage might
be questioned, he said when he had
drawn lngersoll, Yvonne, and Tollemache
into the privacy of the studio. "When
Mr.. Carmac executed the will that may
now, under advice, be set aside, he caused
two copies to be made, with blank spaces
for names and dates. A few days later
he lodged sealed envelop with me and
another with his bankers, and each bore
the superscription:
This document is to be kept in its pres
cnt condition, and never opened unless my
wifes succession to my estate shall be dis
puted. In that event the document must
be produced and acted on.

Mr.. lngersoll's telegram came to hand,
and was not surprised to find will, prop

Carmac's estate to Stella Ingcrsoll, for

one time resident in the Rue Blanche,
Paris, and dated subsequently to that al

tragic happenings might have been avert

touched Il penny of his uncle's money be-
yond the provision made for him in both

But a white-faced girl looked at her
father, and their eyes met, and each knew
that a Power not to be controlled by any
human agency had brought about the hor-
rors that had agitated their beloved vii
lage during that memorable month.

The Strangest Churches in the World

W7HEN people have real desire to
w worship they will find some way to
build church, even though-as in
the case of one Eskimo ongregation-they
have to build it out of blocks of snow
There are perhaps half hundred quaint
and curious churches scattered here and
there round the world, each one with its
own strange story. But perhaps the most
curious of all is the church inside the Arc
tic Circle, whose walls were once partly
eaten up by dogs.
Wood is very scarce on the desolate
shores of Blacklead Island, in the Arctic
Ocean: and when the lone missionary of
that region came to build his church he
formed its framework of whales ribs and
stretched over these forty seal skins sewed
together. All went well until the Eskimos'
dogs hard pressed by hunger, made an
attack upon the structure and partly de-
stroyed it. The desperate missionary was
forced then to substitute strips of canvas
and old sacking for the seal skin walls, and
these continued to do service until a few
years ago, when enough wood was secured
to build u church that could not be eaten
away.

be constructed of rough sandstone, COW
cred with coating of coarse plaster. On
nearer approach the surface of the walls
resolves itself into a delicate tracery of
leaves. branches, and twigs, preserved for
all time by being metamorphosed into
tilnty limestone, permanent mementos
of some primeval forest.
Church Services and Theater
A II one town in Western Australia the
first place of worship erected was
worthy of note, not only by reason of the
unusual materials employed in it's con-
struction, but because of the varied uses
to which it was put. When, in 1929, the
second company of the 63d Regiment ar
rived in the colony, the men proceeded to
collect quantity of rushes. from which
they constructed a small building, where
church service was held every Sunday
For more secular purposes, however, did
1t serve; for not only was it employed as
a harrack, but at intervals it did duty as
a theater.
Some years ago an odd church was to
be seen on the island of Kauai, in the
Hawaiian group. A framework of tim
Der was first constructed. No nails were
used, each Joint being secured either with
lashing or else with wooden peg, the
holes for the latter being drilled with u
human bone. On the top and all sides of
this framework were bound leaves of pill

Nightmare, Restlessness and
Night Sweats Usually Caused
by Indigestion--How to
Overcome 1t.

Overcome 1t.
Half of the nervousness in the
world; all of the disturbing
dreams and nightmares can usu-
ally be ended in a few weeks by a
simple, inexpensive treatment.
Upset stomach is most always
the cause of nervousness and bad
dreams. Your food is lying in
your stomach undigested and fer
menting; it is forming poisonous
gases which irritate the pneumo-
gastric nerve that leads direct
from the brain and ends in net
work of tiny branches running
through every part of the stom-
ach.
1t is also the irritation of this
great pneumogastric nerve that
almost invariably causes head
aches. Many times people have
severe headaches and know they
are caused by the stomach, but
do not know In what manner.
If you are nervous; have
dreams or nightmare; do not
sleep sound at night, get o box of
Mi-o-na stomach tablets and take
one or two after or with meals.
