and send troops to their ia
nous Eveless Eden, where some of the
most priceless relics of the church are
now imperiled by the spread of war in the
Balkans?
The fear of war is nightmare of hOr-
Tor to the monks of Mt. AthOs and they
have sent two of their four presidents on
a pilgrimage in saCkCloth and ashes to
Athens to lay their terror before the rep
resentatives of the car.
Mt. AthOs is about eighty miles from Sa-
lOnih, and no woman or female of any
kind, not even a COW or a chicken, is per
mitted to set foot in the precincts of the
holy mountain. Erisso, on the contrary,
which lies in shouting distance from the
boundary, is virtually a manless Eden,
settled almost entirely by women-large-
~ relatives of the monks. The emissarieS
to Athens ask protection also for EriSsO.
Mt AthOs is not ignorant of war. Hence
the high, wide walls and watch towers
which give the mOnasteries the yisage vi
feudal castles, an illusion heightened by
the muzzles of cannon that peep through
the iyy-grOwn battlements. The monks
fought, with dire results to themselves, in
the Greek war for independence from OF
tOman rule in the early part of the last
century. In the Middle Ages they were
constantly subject to raids from maraud-
ing SaraCens, and today they are exposed
to attacks from rowing bands of bandits
that infest the surrounding country.
The community is made up of twenty
converts and chapels, each of which is
repository of curious works of art and
precious relics, such as the girdle of the
Virgin, given to her by st. Thomas, and
bits Of the true cross, all Of which are
said to possess miraculous curative pow

most precious Of the sacred possessions
to be placed in the security of the steel
safe in the imperial Russian legation
The blaCk-rObed elders are taking the
relics to Athens under guard of ten Of the
hired soldiers. They, too, set forth from
their cliffs and Crags and ventured out
on the Aegean in another of the old world
boats Later, if the Russian marines are
not sent, it is planned to convey the rest
of the treasures to Athens.
One of the most interesting sdeIights
on the mountain is the view the monks
take of the United States. A recent arti-
Gle by Gleason P. Lazarre, from which
some of the more intimat of the forego-
ing facts have been drawn, contains an in
terview with the prior of Monastery
Watopedi, one of the largest. The CONVEX

sation turned to America, and the prior
said:
In that country. both good and bad,
prosperity and calamity, seem always to
be on an extensive scale challenging our
admiration by their greatness. In This the
United States resembles those tropical
forests whore the life-givug bread tree
and poisonous plants grow de by side
in equal luNurianCe."
The monks are not frightened by the
vastness Of tho present war raging over
the face Cf Europe They do NOT trCmbls
at the Thought Of peril TO themselves.
Their ONLY wish is to protect the treasures
Of the chur, h. They fear only that some
of these will fan into the D. IDS Of those
of different faith. and this possibility is
living horror on the holy mountain.

of Lords the other day was an
interesting event. He took his
seat as Baron AstOr of Hever,
in the county of Kent.
His sponsors were Baron Cheylesmore.
who married in 1892 Miss Elizabeth
French, of New York, and Baron Newton,
a member of the government
The ceremony was rather quaint, and
Aston went through it with an air of
some Impotence. He first appeared at
the bar of the House attired in a scarlet
robe trimmed with ermine and a three
cOrnered hat. accompanied by his spon-
sors, similarly dressed. They were re-
ceived by the garter king of arms, who
led them in single file, Astor in the mid
die, up the floor to the woolsack, where
Aston presented his patent to the lord
high chancellor, who merely opened the
scroll and returned it. They then retired,
walking backward and bowling, to the
table, and as Cheylesmore was not going
quickly enough for the new baron the
latter turned and pushed him, to the as
constituent of the spectators, among
whom were several ladies in the peer
esses gallery.

mountain is the fngernall Of the peninsula,
which stretches south into the Aegean.
1t is grit on three sides by the sea.
The Turks, in their occupation of Mt
Athos, preserved the sacred relics and
treasures of gold and precious stones but,
what the monks valued more than the
gold and jewels, their priceless manu-
scripts, were used as wadding for the
Turk guns.
The religious ceremonies on the noun
tain are most rigorous. During the period
of Lent the monks pray or attend mass
sixteen hours every day. And their pc
riod of Lent lasts one-third of the year.
The rest of the year is divided each day
into eight hours for prayer eight for
manual labor and eight for rest.
The community is divided into distinct
classes: idiOrrhythmiC, in which each
brother is rule unto himself, and ceno-
bite, in which the recluses live in com
mon. The latter have one father superior,
who is elected for life. The former is
more or less of an aristocratic oligarchy
There are three other minor classes in
which the monks are literally hermits

is barren and grim in comparison to the

like dream nests by invisible cords. 1t
is the wonder of the world how these
hermitages were built on the precipitous
peaks and how they continue to withstand
the onslaughts of the terrific gales that
rage around the mountains.
The danger to which the monks are sub
ject is near and real, for the brigand band

organized body, with a leader whose
word is law under penalty of death AS
yet the car has not sent the expedition
to protect them, and perhaps will not. So

mountain. 1t is and is not a monastery
for among it's monks are no fewer than
fifteen hundred Russians transported
there principally for political reasons. The
majority of them are youthful, and their
stolid, typically Russian cOuntenances,
with their smoldering eyes, contrast
strangely with the thin, intellectual faces
and dancing eyes of their Greek compan
ions
NorthmOst on the western slope of the
peninsula is the monastery of KOnstamo-
mites, the oldest of all and one of the most
picturesque. 1t rises like a fairy palace
from a ring of cyprus trees. Its roofs are
incredibly red and its gray walls incred-
IDLY lofty, with windows only in the upper
half. On the top, peeping out here and
there, are numerous ramparts. The mon
astery was founded early in the fifth cen
fury by the son of Constantine the Great
The charter granted it by the Byzantine

the archives of the convent.
Entrance to this monastery as to
most of the others, Is gained by means
of a basket lowered from one of the win
dows in the first tier, about half way up,
to which point the walls are sheer and
impregnable.
To the passerby on the deck of

fantastic architecture from slope to sum-

nary beauty that it perhaps cannot be

COMING WITH THE DYES.

The New York Journal of Com
merce prints a list of "a firms that
are now engaged in making dyestuffs
in the United States. 1t quotes from
an additional report on the dyestuffs
situation recently issued by DR.. Thos.
H. Norton, special agent of the De-
partment of Commerce, who has been
detailed to study the conditions sur
rounding and affecting the develop
ment of domestic dye industry. Pro-
duction of these materials, which,
previous to the war, amounted to only
about 5000 tons, is estimated by DR..
Norton at approximately $4,000 tons
year at the present time. He de-
votes particular attention to the out
put of aniline, the black normally used
in four-fifths of the hosiery produced,
and points out that the manufacture
of sulphur black and synthetic indigo,
unknown here before the war, are now
progressing under favorable condi-
tions. DR.. Norton gives assurance
that the home supply of the crudes
has now assumed large proportions.
Aniline in itself, he says, when des-
tined for use in dying aniline black,
should be classed as a finished dye
stuff. When noting that single firm,
such as the Edison company, is turn
ing out 90 tons of aniine each month,
1T is possible to grasp what is being
done to lay the foundations for a COM

his bed only four days with that
dreadful disease, pneumonia. His
death came as a shock to his loved
