o.,1y connected with the Eastern emDire as she was, felt the impulse oA this strong artistic life. The fepeilu ing of St. Marks in the local ltaiian stvIe by Doge Orseolo had only luSe been completed. Hence Il was noe there but at Torcello that the new style made it's first notable appeal ance in the lagoons, and the suseo9= tion is at least plausible that the "oih done on the cathedral i'll that lslaho stimulated the people of Venice ltselh again to overthrow and more splehdld- lv rebuild the Basilica Marclaha Ill tho form which, with later additions, ie retains today. Now also the church "ds equipped with a noble marble sefeeh' or iconostasis. and well carved am bo. both thoroughly eastern lh type' whereof notable fragments remain to- day. The six columns and four paneis between the outer pairs of the screen are still in place, but the marble archl- trave or beam that lay on the capltals and doubtless supported precious lamps and other ornaments is gone, it's place being taken by all inferior row of painted panels.
 Beautiful Byzantine Sculpture.
 That the four great scuNtured slaps should be so perfectly preserved is matter for great satisfaction, no more finely decorative work of Byzantine chisel being in our day anywhere dis coverable. On the best of them a pair of peacocks, facing one another, are pecking at the contents of a boWi which is raised on a column between them. The rest of the space is filled with whorls of tendrils, and the whole is framed within a border, adorned with a series of those charming TO- settes within circles which decorated every Byzantine ladys ivory jewell easket of that time As for the ambo. or pulpit, that was pulled to pieces at later date and set up again in an altered position and blundertng fash ion, so that the parts are all wrqNlgly arranged and many are missing.
 About the time when the ambo was being pulled to pieces the cathedral underwent a further restoration It's inlaid floor was then put down and mosaic pictures were affixed all over it's west wall and in some other places But by that date the best age of Byzantine art was passed. and the west wall mosaics, though still highly interesting in spite of much radical restoration, are not very beautiful. Torcello had lost It's importance and no longer could command the re- sources of more prosperous days.
 It was, however at this time that the little church of Santa Fosca re- ceived the form which 1t still retains. Originally 1t was a small three aisled basilica, with little apse at the end of each aisle. For what reason and by whom the church was rebuilt in it's present octagonal. porticoed shape is not recorded. Nothing of the original church remains except two of the It. tie apses. The rest Is all built on rather an ambitious Byzantine model. and was evidently intended.to be sur mounted by dome

COMMITTEE AGREE
 UPON ARMY BILL
MEASURE WOULD AUTHORIZE PEACE STRENGTH OF 143,-
 900 MEN.
TRAINING FOR CIVILIANS
Members of Both House and Senate Admit They Have Doubts Wheth- CT Requisite Force Could
 Be Enlisted in Guard.

Washington.-The House military committee agreed upon the general terms of bill it expects to get be- fore the House in ten days, providing for regular army with an author ized peace strength of 143, ,0O0 men, a federalized National Guard, which would reach a fixed minimum strength of 424000 in five years, adequate re- serve systems for both of these forces, and organization of civilian training camps with wide discretion reposed in the War Department as to the terms of enlistment, training and govern ment
 Members of both the House and Senate military committees frankly admitted that they had doubts wheth- CT requisite force could be enlisted in the National Guard, even under the proposed federal pay and regulation provisions, and growing tendency to provide for federal army reserve in addition to the regular army and fed eraliZed National Guard was manifest in both committees Members said they favored a practical test of the possibility of forming a federal vol unteer army In peace times on lines somewhat similar to the continental army plan. The apparent intention to abandon the continental project wholly was one of the causes leading up to the resignation of Secretary Garrison.
 The Senate committee has agreed tentatively to a plan under which training camps would be authorized in every congressional district where sufficient men volunteered for training under an obligation for war service. The maximum force to be thus raised in any district would be a battalion, or substantially the same number as proposed for the first year of the Gar rison continental army plan. The camps would be under command of full complements of regular army of flcers.
 This tentative plan is in addition to the regular army and the federal ized National Guard proposals, and is intended to reach men who would not be found in either of those serv ices.

Many JelIYfish There.

An interesting feature of the bay of Naples is the great quantity of large iellyfish found therein. It is not un- usual to find them fully two feet in diameter and weighing up to 60 pounds. Some of them shine at night with a greenish light and are known as noctiluca (night lanterns) by the natives The jellyfish sometimes make migrations in great groups, sometimes so large and so thick as to impede the navigation of vessels, like the float ing plants iu the Sargasso sea of the tropics. Thpse shoals of medusae, as they are called, may at times be so dense that piece of timber plunged in among them will be held upright as if stuck in the mud, and ordinary row boats cannot force their way through them. Their migrations have never been explained.

Spending Money Relative
Matter Whether It's Buying
Peanuts or a Private Car

The spending of thousands without
thought is probably not SO different
from spending dimes and coppers
when you get used to it. The man
who makes half u million over night
in war babies probably feels much the
same when he blows $4,000 at u lick
as you do after you get your envelope
and take home bag of peanuts to the
kids. There is kind of glow of sat
isfactiOn in being able to spend
dime. As for the loss of the money
neither you nor the millionaire will
know the difference by Monday morn
ing. 1t is all u relative matter, says
a writer.
Just the same, it must be a sensa-
ton the first time you do as the man
did who breezed into the Pennsylvania
railroad office in New York one day
last summer and ordered private
car to take him to San Francisco. OF
course, the Pennsy gets similar orders
every once and so often and they are
not In the habit Of becoming excited
about them.
But this was little out of the
ordinary, because no private cars We're
to be had, and when the prospective
traveller was so advised he seemed to
feel somewhat as commuters do when
the incoming fall time table drops the
fast summer train. In other words, he
appeared to be annoyed and he showed
1t by ordering the railroad folk to buy
him car.
They did that little thing to obllge
and 1t cost him some $20OOO-but it
was worth it. He didn't have to
worry once between New York and
the coast about getting up and giving
a perfectly good, comfortable seat to
a lady.

Leather From Ostrich Skins.

Ostrich skins form the subject Of
late news item from Cape Town,
South Africa. The truth seems to be
that there has been no business man
enterprising enough to push this side
line of the ostrich feather business
during the last couple Of years, when
skins have been prOcurable at nomi-
nal sum. 1t can be produced in varl-
GUS colors and thicknesses, and Just
after tanning 1t Is about twice the
thickness of goatskln, is very tough,
with strong fiber, which, unlike ordl-
nary leather, is not interviewer but
lies in separate layers. which can be
pulled Off by hand so as to get the
thickness required. There Is no rea-
son, says the dispatch, why ladies'
leather goods, slippers, and other ar
ticles should not be extensively manu-
featured out Of ostrich hide.

Almost any kind of meat and bone
may be put into the stock pot and the
careful housewife will not waste one
clean scrap of meat or bone. Take
three and half pounds of beef, some
poultry or game bones, four cloves, two
bay leaves, one teaspoonful of whole
peppers, two quarts of cold water, two
carrots, two Drowned onions, two
stalks of celery, some sweet herbs, like
marjoram or thyme, and simmer slowly
for four hours; strain and when cold
remove the fat. The bones may be
again covered with water and sim
mered to extract all flavor, and this
thinner soup used to add flavor to
other soups.
