Berlin.-Two clever swindlers

prevalent nowadays-by making a
coup which resulted in netting them
half a million marks through adj

wealthy men IN platinum which
they produced In some underhand

which was to be delivered at a point
not far from Berlin on a lonely
road.
The purchasers appeared in

received the platinum, but on re-

Another family treasure of great
value which has since passed into the
keeping OF the nation is the Portland
vase, now exhibited in the British
Museum. This vase comes from
italy. and what its age is no man
knows. though It has been proved
that in 225 ID it was deposited IN
a sepulchre under the Monte del
Grano, three miles from Rome, and
is believed to have contained the
ashes of the Emperor Seyerus. But.
whether or no, Pope Urban VIII. had
1t dug up; and for more than two
centuries 1t reposed in the Barberlni
Palace at Rome. In 1885 the Duke
of Portland purchased it from Sir
William Hamilton for 1929 guinea5,
and deposited it in the British Mu-
scum fifteen years later. The vase Is
only ten inches high. In 1915 a man
named Lloyd, employed at the mu-
scum, picked up a stone and hurled
1t, ia a fit of frenzy, at the case
which contained the precious relic.
The vase was smashed into hundreds
of pieces. but with great ingenuity
they were all put together again, and
as 1t now stands Is said to be worth
at the very least SIS, 000.-West-

- SOME CURIOUS CHURCHES
Marvellous Cathedral Of Moscow
~. Chapels on Russian Trains.

N&. NuSpSis O' hhSSioH
= One of the most extraordinary and
fantastic Christian places of worship
Ia the world is tho cathedral of Mos
COW. strange not only in outline and
conception. but even stranger in its
history.
Nc ono knows the architects name.
but The story goes that the ear or.
dered his eyes TO be put out directly
after the church was completed 50
that he should never be able to sur
pass his work.
The idea of the building, says
writer in the Strand, was inspired By
The wickedest and maddest monarch
who ever sat on thrOne-Iyan the
Terrible. czar of Muscovy.
The church is known as Vasili
Blajenni, or Blessed BASIL and is
named after half-witted yagrant
monk who for some strange reason
was almost the only person in the
empire that the ear feared.
, Although every one else trembed
before Ivan. Vasii Blajenni would
Hcunt him, call him "Iyashka,' or
Bad little Ivan" and, most daring
thing of all. would try to protect the
victims of the cars fury. He and
another friar of the same calber
named Ivan the Idiot are buried in
two memorial chapels beneath the
cathedral.
The architecture Is in every re-
spcct eXtravagant and barbaric and
the coloring is garish in the extreme.
1t has nine chapcls, rooted by nine
cupolas, each different and each
stranger than the other. One rcscm-
bes a pineapple, another a melon, a
third is said to ape a hedgehog in
its appearance, and the rest are more
or less grotcsquc. Some are gilt,
others are painted in brilliant hues.
Indeed the only description Is that
IL is a nightmare Of church, the
tltung legacy Of a ruler who grilled
his counsclors in frying pans ana
clothed his subjects in bearskins in
order that trained dogs might worry
ard tear them to pieces.
Another freakish place of worship
is the church of the Holy Trinity at
Baura, in upper Austria. 1t is built
in the form OF triangle and stands
on little hill approached by a wind
ing ascent, If you examine it you
will find that everything possible has
been done to glorify and commence
rate the Three lin One.
1t has three fronts, three towers,
three doors and three windows. In
Size there are three affairs, three
organs and three saCristies. The
walls are decorated with three diff
forent kinds Of marble. and the
church cost 1888, 1888 forms to build.
Among other Injuries on the trains
of the Trans Siberian railway are
chapels, which are attached to the
principal expresses. Priests travel
with these moving churches. The
chapels ar OUR" elaborate. pane'ad
with beautiful woods, la.islly deco
ra,ed and gidcd. They are intended
not alone for the use of passengers,
but at an appointed hour on Sundays

borhood flock to the scryicc.-Ncw
