OLD LONDON MADE MODERN
Circumstances Under Which the Trav-
eler May See All That He Has
Travelled Far to See.

st. Etheldreda, in Ely place, Hol-
born, London, is one OF the old city
churches about which Dickens decIar-
ed a full half of his pleasure in them
arose from their mystery. That they
existed in the streets of London was
a sufficient satisfaction to him, but pos
Sibly he would have added st. Ethel
dreda to the list of the three famous
old churches whose names he admitted
were household words, if, on his night
walks abroad he had heard the watch
man cry the hour, as Etheldreda's
Waterman does to this day. Old LON
don, lurking up byways and round
corners, is still to be discovered by the
curious who carry the lantern Of
certain neutrality-suspicious.. The cry.
"Past ten, past eleven" from the
Waterman of the church with the Sax
on name, lying off Holborn with itx
asphalted pavements and motor buses,
bears witness to the assertion.

MIsIandn in the Air.

Three miles south of the Mesa En-
canbada in Mexico is splendid speci-
men of fantastic erOsion-an island"
in the air: a rock with overhanging
sides nearly 400 feet high and 20
acres in area on the fairly level top,
indented with countless bays, notched
with dizzy chasms. The greater part
OF the island Overhangs the sea like a
huge mushroom, and on the top stands
q ,ovn which for artistic charm, eth
nological interest. and romantic his
tory has no peer This little town of
Ancoma is one of the prehistoric
Pueblo architecture. 1t was only with
inconceivable labor this island town
in the air was built. 1t was reached
by a mere trail up the stem Of the
mushroom" The age of the island is
not known, except that if was already
old in 1910.

Civ Model Planes With the Wind.

AS regards the flying of a mode
plane. the beginner has much TO learn,
writes William Maclean in the Every
day Engineering magazine. Ii should
always be remembered that while 4
occurs to the average person that a
model should be flown into the wind
this in reality is not the case; a model
should always be flown with thetwind
Another point TO remember is that
a scale or reproduction model can
never be a long distance flyer as are
types of stick models. Further, a re
production model must neces sarily
have a propeller or tractor screg out
of proportions as screw to scale i
not capable of delivering the leces-
sary thrust to fly model which must
necessarily be too heavy fos the

lance it presents a most attractive pic
ture. From miles away in the desert
one can see the green mass of Bagdad
floating in the atmosphere and as one
approaches nearer along the dreary,
dusty track, its cOlored domeS and
gilded minaretS can be distinguished
showing above the palms and trees.
AS one enters the town most of this
is lost to sight and one finds oneself
in a narrow winding street The walls
on either side are usually very bare.
Every now and then one passes a
door, sometimes plain sometimes quite
ornate with jolly brass door knockers
Above, from the first floor are pro-
jecting Oriel windows, these, too, vary
ing from plain brick and timber to
carved wood of great richness-with
pierced screens, often of very beauti~
full design. But be they plain or fancy
they cast a pleasant shadow on the
road beneath and incidentally block
out from view except for a glimpse
here and there the domes or minarets
which were so noticeable from outside
the city walls.
Out of the maze of these narrow
streets one would never emerge had it
not been for the kindness of the Turk.
who very thoughtfully cut a broad
road right through the center of the
town in commemoration of the fall OF
Kut. Now, in our day, we use it for
vain o.traoro op +roASo
But the most charming feature of
Bagdad is the river front and this
alone is sufficient to compel ones adj
miration for the city. Basra in conn
parison is all mud and shipping.
Amara is pretentious with a row Of
buildings of uniform design facing on
a promenade, which reminds one too
much of a terrace on the 'front" of a
small seaside resort. Kut is pic
turesque too, but designed on scale
BETTING it's size and Importance, and
with it's mosques and public buildings
the palms and the trees and more eS-
pecially the numbers of delightful riv~
erside houses, with their verandas and
balconies and their exquisite little gar
dens overhanging the river, Bagdad
has a character and a charm all it's
own.
