China's Majestic Altar.

No altar on earth vies in marble
majesty with the Altar Of Heaven
Tien T'an-in the south Of the Chi
nese city of Picking, which Emperor
Yung LIE of the Ming dynasty reared
in A. d. 1920 with its triple balus-
trades, stairs and platforms of pure
white marble carved miraculously, its
great circle covering wide area in the
midst of vast inclosure. Standing
alone, deserted under the blue Chinese
sky, it is dream Of majesty and beau
ty. AS the great setting Of scene of
ritual pomp that calls for thousands
and thousands of robed celebrants,
with music, incense, sacrifice, it is
transcendently imposing and impress
ing. There the emperor knelt once a
year and worshiped "the only being in
the universe he could look up to-
Shang 1.-THE emperor of the world
above, whose court was in the sky and
the spear tips of whose soldiers were
the stars.

Hidino Behind Smoke.

The accuracy of modern naval gun.
merry is so marvellous that the only
hope for a ship to escape being sunk
when within range of the guns is to
hide itself. That is easier said than
done, however, and there is only one
way in which it can be done, and that
is by means of smoke screen" II
is hard for one ship to hide herself
behind her own smoke unless the wind
is favorable, but for a number of ships
to put huge fog Of black smoke be-
tween them and their pursuers is com
paratively easy. The smoke is caused
by oil fuel, and 1t can be turned off
or on at will by supplying more or less
air to the furnaces. 1t is so dense and
black that it is quite impossible to see
more than few yards through it

A Grim Cathedral.

Once the capital of the kingdom Of
Portugal, Coimbra possesses a number
of interesting monuments. Its cathe-
dral dates from the early period when
it'upon the west, Toledo in the center
and Saragossa to the east were the
Christian outposts against the infidel.
Its color. a deep golden brown, is like
that of an old warrior tanned by the
wars. Squarely seated upon its plat
form. its walls pierced only by narrow
windows that resemble loopholes, its
roofs and parapets embattled, 1t recalls
the day when praying and fighting
went hand in hand, and its rough
hewn stones sheathe 1t as in a bronze
cuirass chased with the delicate tracery
Of its south door added at later epoch.
Its interior, too, is severely plain,
though adorned with the only fine rere.
dos that l saw in Portugal, and with
side chapels that contain a notable ar.
ray of old blue tiles.-Ernest Peixotto

Hawking In the Old Days.

Falconry, or hawking, was favorite
sport with the nobility and gentry of
Europe down to the first half of the
seventeenth century. Hawks were
trained to mount and pursue game and
bring it to their masters and mistresses,
coming and going to the call of the
latter with marvellous docility. The
hawks were tricked out with gay hoods
and held until ordered to pursue the
quarry, or game, by leathern straps
fastened with rings of leather about
each leg just above the talons, and
with silken cords called "jesses" to
each of these leathern straps, or "be-
wets," was attached a small bell. In
the fight of hawks 1t was often SO
arranged that the bells made "a con-
sort of sweet sounds"

OF interest In connection with ter
tiary gold bearing river gravels of
California Is the story of the Calaveras
skull. For a time this skull attracted
much attention not only from the peo-
pie in California, but from scientific
men the world over. 1t was reported
to have been found in 1886 near the
town of Angels, Calaveras county, at
a depth of 100 feet, In tertiary gray
els underlying tertiary lava. The find
ing of human skull embedded in such
deposits was for time believed to
indicate that man had been In exist
ence in North America longer than had
been supposed. Strange to say, the
skull is of a higher type than skulls
which, although known to antedate his
toric times, are known also to be much
younger than the tertiary. Although
Professor J. D. Whitney, then state
geologist, accepted the skull as bit
Of genuine scientific evidence, 1t is gen.
orally believed by students of the an
tiquity of man that the Calaveras skull,
while undoubtedly old, probably did
not come from the auriferous gravels
at all.-Argonaut

Losses From Communion.

The economic loss due to tubercu
losis is stupendous. Some years ago
made a careful estimate and was as
tonished to find that, counting the
earnings lost, the cost of medical at
tendance and nursing, special foods,
institutional care and, above all, the
capitalized value of the lives cut of
in their prime flor tuberculosis kills al
thirty or thirty-five), the total annual
cost in this country alone from tuber-
culosis is over billion Of dollars. This
is merely the cold cash cost and takes
no account, of course, of sentimental
or emotional losses from the death OF
loved ones.-Good Health.
