Air Warriors Predicament.

An accident, without precedent In
warfare, occurred to a French bomb
ing plane, and death was averted by a
feat of daring which will long be re-
membered. The airplane was about to
descend after a raid, when the pilot
discovered that two of his bombs had
caught in the rigging below the ear.
1t was impossible to land without ex-
ploding them and blowing the frail
craft to fragments. The gasoline was
already running low and some desper-
ate expedient must be attemptd within
the next two seconds. While the pilot
held his craft to an wen keel the pas
senger crawled from his seat to the
wing and thence to the rigging below.
The bombs must be released with the
greatest delicacy to prevent their ex-
ploding. Impossible as the feat seem
ed, 1t was at last accomplished and
the passenger regained his seat in
safety.

ORANGE Industry.

The interior of any one of the big
orange packing houses in either Flor
ida or California shows a wonderfully
systematic arrangement for grading
and sizing the fruit. There are a
dozen different sizes of oranges and
so automatic is the grading that every
box of oranges comes our with every
orang almost the exact size of its
companions. The result is oranges
which sell in the far Eastern markets
as low as one cent apiece-from this
to so or 60 cents a dozen. The only
things which must be left to human
judgment is the throwing out of culls
imperfect, too ripe or too green
specimens.
Nowadays in both of the big orange
growing states the orange business is
divided into two distinct and separate
industries-that of orange growing
and that of orange packing and ship
ping. The latter is handled by CO
operative associations and very few
oranges are packed and shipped direct
by the orange growers themselves.
The same conditions apply to lemons
and grapefruit.

home. Those whose talents and time
are given to millinery understand the
art of trimming better than even a
gifted amateur. But a fair needle
can copy many good trimming
ideas. Millinery shops and depart
ment stores, also, show many trim
mlngs all ready to sew ON the shape
and in this way smooth the path OF
the home milllner.
Three velvet-coyered shapes are
shown in the picture for three differ
ent types of hats. A small, round tur-
ban at the left of the group needs only
a ribbon cockade, a fur pompon, a
smart-tailored bow, or a fancy feather,
to be ready for street wear. 1t be-

written law generally has been OBJ
served, perhaps by geographical acct
dent or perhaps because of the adapt
able, conciliatory nature of the kindly
folk who claim the Sacred Mount for
their own.
But despite the strict regulations of
the Most Blessed Assembly of the
Holy Mount and the shock of horror
which assails the most humble of the

Founded in Third Century.
Although the remote history of the
colony melts into misty legend, it is
generally believed that the first relig-
iOus settlements on the peninsula were
made by refugees from the persecu-
tons of the Iconoclasts early in the
eighth century. The legends of the
monks attribute them to the age of
Constantine, in the third and fourth
centuries. Reference TO the existence
of the cluster of religious brother
hoods is made in historical documents
of the ninth century.
The claims of the monastery of
Laura, founded about the middle of
the tenth century by st. Athanasius,
appear to be well founded and to make
it, for historical purposes, the most
ancient of the monasteries. There is
reason to believe that VatOpethi is
of about equal antiquity. According
to the monastic accounts of VatOpe-
this founding, it is the most venerable
of all the twenty, having been estab-
lis5pd by Theodosius in recognition
Of the providential rescue of his son
from drowning on the coast hear by.
The most recent of the monasteries,
S%tavronikitu, was founded in 1915.
There are twenty of them. They
are situated on the wooded and noun
famous slopes of a peninsula which is
forty miles in length and from four
to seven miles in width. The total
population of the peninsula is about
1000. Three thousand of the inhab-
itants are monks and the rest are lay
brothers.

- YER one secluded nook of the
turbulent Levant still broods
~ the Tibetan calm which has
enveloped 1t for more than a
thousand years. 1t is the promontory
of Athos, the easternmost of the three
peninsulas extending into the Hgean
sea from the coast of Macedonia like
the gnarled fingers of an aged priest
whose hand is raised in benedictiOn.
There, only 40 miles from Saloniki,
the allied war base, dwells a monastic
community of some 1000 souls under
a republican form of government
which has outlasted the S%aracens, the
Byzantines, and bids fair to survive
the Sublime Porte. Mount Athos, the
glistening pyramid of marble in which
the 40-mile peninsula terminates, is
visible at sunset from the Plains of
Troy across the sea and shimmers
into view from the slopes of Mount
Olympus.
While airplanes were circling above
the ruins of Helen's city and the re-
mote founder of the superdreadnaught,
Queen Elizabeth, told of shells that
spanned the peninsula of Gallipoli, the
monks behind their marble barrier in

Columbus embarked o n his great ad-
venture and paced in brocaded and

grooved by sandaled feet when the

Bluff Of Foreman Failed.

Two of the nocturnal hosemen of the
street cleaning department were en-

MALE OSTRICH BUILDS NEST
Sets on Eggs at Night During the In
eubatlon Which Lasts Forty to
Fifty Days.

After pairing, the ostrich begins to
make his nest. 1t is the male alone
that performs this duty. To do it, he
squats upon the ground, and, balanc-
ing himself upon his breastbone,
scratches up the earth with his legs
and throws 1t behind him. When he
has dug out enough on one side to suit
him he turns round and begins to dig
on another side, and continues this
operation until he has made q hole
large enough for him to sit in comfort
ably. A few days after the nest is
finished the female begins to lay one
egg every alternate day for eighteen
or twenty days. She then rests for a
while, which time varies from four to
ten days, and then lays more. A pair
Of Ostriches yield about forty eggs,
though 1t is not unusual for a well-fed
well-kept pair to yield fifty to sixty
eggs. The eggs are placed so as to
leave no space between them. The
male and the female brood alternate
ly. At night the male is always on
the nest, as 1t possesses greater
warmth than the female.
These birds perform their duties
with the greatest skill, without any
noise or breakage of the eggs. The
incubation lasts forty-five days on an
average, sometimes fifty days, but new
er continues beyond that. When the
chicklings hatch out they can be heard
trying to break the shell of the egg
Sometimes they succeed in doing so
but usually the father breaks the egg
under the breast bone, tears the inside
skin with his bill, and frees the chick
ling. Upon first reaching the air the
chickling remains limp and weak. But
the warmth of the parent soon revives
1t, and a few hours afterward it be
gins to run about, exercising its long
legs, topping over at each step, and
recommending again its stumbling
journey. Four days after their hatch
ing the chicklings begin to eat. They
run after insects and swallow small
pebbles. The father and mother do
not help their little ones to find food

cred in factories by machinery. This
part of hat making has been brought
to such perfection that there is a great
output Of shapes In the stores, on sale
ready for trimming.
The shapes vary so much that there
is no good excuse for anyone to own
an unbecoming hat. There are small,
trim ones for street wear and large,
picturesque ones for dress, and those
that occupy q place between-just
smart, w~ell-shaped velvet hats that
are equal to almost any occasion

there are villages or settlements, in-
habited mostly by artisans employed
within the abbeys. Only precipitous,
winding mule paths afford means Of
communication. AS many races are
represented in the population as might
be expected in that cosmopolitan sec
ton of the Levant. The monks them
selves are, for the most part, Greeks,
but the monastery of Rossikon is a
stronghold of the Russians, and in
others are Serbs and Bulgars. Rou-
manians are also fairly numerous.
Own All Goods in Common.
All these dwell in harmony despite
the schisms which the great wal has
made in the outside world. As monks
they are divided into two schools,
both of which adhere to the canon of
st. Basil. One division has the lido
rhythmic form or government, which
allows considerable latitude to the in
dividual, although all goods are owned
in common. Monasteries of this order
are governed by two or three wardens,
who are elected annually by the eld-
ers. In the cenobite mO~nasteries
church regulations are much more
rigid, and the hegumen, elected for
life, has absolute control over the
property and inmates.
Hoarded behind massive locks in
the turreted abbeys are thousands of
beautiful illuminated ~parchments of
great antiquity. This treasure, though
impressive, is Il mere remnant of what
once existed. Some of the documents
have been taken to Paris, some to
Moscow, some fell into the hands of
early collectors, some We're fired in
cartridges at the Greeks during the

war of independence, some have been
mutilated by chance visitors and some,
according to authentic reports, were
torn into strips by their very guard
ians to be twisted onto fish hooks and
used as bait.
Many Beautiful Relics Preserved.
Less periShable md equally beauti-
full relics still remain, most of them
in an extraordinary state of preserva-
ton. The buildings themselves, some
of which cover as much as four acres,
r wonderful examples of Byzantine
architecture. There are choice speci-
mems of ancient and cunning mosaic
work. There are mural decorations
attributed to Byzantine artists so an
Gent that their work has outlived
their fame and their very names are
legendary.
The Phiate or Font of Laura in
front of the monastery church with
the marble panels was built in 1000.
The brick work was probably done in
the sixteenth or seventeenth century.
In the Monastery of XiripotamO,
which, according to mOnastic tradi-
ton, was established by the Empress
Pulcheria in the fifth century. but
more probably was founded 800 years
later, is a communion cup, carved
from solid jade, which bears an in
scription of the traditional founder
and is believed by many to be a true
relic of that earlier time.
V%atopethi contains many venerated
and quaint treasures, some of them of
great beauty. In the church Is a
throne inlald with ivory and nearby
a chased silver jeon of Andronicus ii.
~Palaeologus. An ancient case of solid
gold in which are receptacles for the
blood of saints contains a fragment of
the True Cross, which is set in gold
and studded with large stones of pale
hue.

a material point of view is the glrdle
Of the Virgin Mary, which now, for

of them kept in a separate yault OF
