which Zeus was supposed to reside,
but local legend says that the first
message was delivered by a dove speak

AT any rate, the prlestesses of the ora

HerOdOtus reports that while on a Wis

the oracle had been founded by an
Egyptian princess who had been spir-
tied away by Phoenicians.
AS the rivalry between the oracle Of
Zeus at DodOna and that Of Apollo
at Delphi grew more keen the
priestesses of the former invented new
methods of receiving messages, among
these being the Interpretation of the
murmur of a bubbling fountain near
the oak tree, the sound of the wind
rushing through the brazen cauldrOns
which stood in circle near the tenn
pie, and the sounds made by metal
tipped whip as the wind drove it
against q bronze tripod. Many Athen-
ians, Spartans and eastern potentates
consulted the oracle and it is said
that CrOesus, the last king of Lydia,
also consulted DodOna as to whether
he should attempt a campaign against
Cyrus, king of the Persians. Unhap-

of the oracle was verified, but the

The portion of the young branch rep
resented in Fig. gives an idea of the
characteristic appearance of the dis
aased foliage on the tree. The leaves
shown in Fig. 2 were selected to show
individual variations. The two on the
extreme left of this illustration are far
from typical of the great majority and
represent about the only specimens of
this character found, out of probably
more than one hundred collected.
While the yellowing appears to start
frequently along the line of the larger
leaf-veins, it is just as likely to appear
first in the tissues midway between
them.
In the preliminary studies made in
the field no definite clue could be OBJ
tained as to the cause of the trouble.
Silver Leaf.
AS far as the writer has been able
to learn, the only references to this
disease in American literature are con-
tained in the writing of Guissow. In
1910 he recorded its presence in Nova
Scotia. In giving the characters of the
disease he mentioned that the leaves
on the affected branches have silvery
appearance or milky white gloss, par
ticularly on the upper surfaces. The
epidermis on the upper surfaces of the
leaves is also very brittle. In this pa
per he states that when a branch is
attacked it dies, as a rule, after one
or two years, and that a tree once at
tackled by silver leaf will eventually
succumb. In this paper he mentions
that some European writer's consider
the disease to be physiological, but
says that it is remarkable that Ste
reum purpureum Pers. is constantly
associated with it,

GadIIe Of C9eece

- REECE was born amid the
mountains Of Epirus, if one
may believe not only what
Aristotle says but what mod
ern Investigations prove. 1t was this
ancient philosopher who asserted that
In Epirus dwelt the first Greeks, aft
erward called the Hellenes, and some
French and Greek explorers have un-
covered there the remains of the old
est oracle, the earliest temple and
theater.
The Epirus district, without respect
TO its modern bOundaries-Greek, and
Albanian-is described in a bulletin
issued by the National Geographic So
ciety.
IL ancient times the name Epirus
(mainland) was given to an extensive
area Of northwestern Greece TO dis
tinguish 1t from the islands of the
lonian sea, which form a fringe to the
west. 1t extended from an indefinite
northern boundary, somewhere in the
southern part of the territory now en-
braced in the infant principality of
Albania, to the COrinthian gulf, and
although the Athenians, Corinthians
and Spartans were wont to look upon
the inhabitants of the district as semi
barbarOuS, no less an authority than
Aristotle gave 1t as the original home
of the Hellenes.
Owing to its extremely mountainous
character, Epirus has never been a
great grain-prOduCing section, but
from ancient times up to the present
II has been famous for its fine cattle
and horses, also for a peculiar breed
of dogs, the MolOssian. In the east
ern part of the district towers Mount
LacmOn, the backbone of the Pindus
range, on which rise three of the great
rivers of northwestern Greece.
Famed Oracle of Ancients.
Epirus became wOrld-renOwned even
before historic times on account of the
great oracle of DOdOna, the ruins of
whose temples were discovered dur
ing the last half of the nineteenth
century only few miles southwest of
the modern Macedonian town of Jani-
ma. The messages from the gods were
received at DodOna through the rus
