CAIRO: ANCIENT CAPITAL
ATTAINS NEW POLITI-
CAL IMPORTANCE

Egypt's capital attains new political
Importance as the administration seat
of the more liberal home rule granted
the ancient empire by Great Britain.
Cairo, Queen of the Nile Valley"
the paris of the Levant," or "the dia-
mond stud on the handle of the fan
Of the Delta" as your Imagination pre-
fers, has about the population of Bos-
ton, a record of disorders that makes
bolshevism a nouveau-anarchy, and
picturesqueness all its own.
From the citadel ramparts the visit
or receives the best introduction to
Cairo, that unfOrgettable view-the an
cient city at his feet, vast panorama
of houses and palaces and novels,
aecked with cupolas, minarets and tow
ers the island-dotted river and the
verdant Nile valley ever widening to-
ward the north, yellow cliffs to the
east, and beyond them the desert. The
sea of sand suggests illimitable space
until the faint outlines of the pyramids
against the horizon turn ones thoughts
from space to time.
Descend to the streets of Cairo and
encounter bedlam. "City of the Ara
bian Nights" perhaps, but certainly
the days loose a thousand and one
noises There are the rattle of carts,
cries Of the water bearers, moaning of
| caEels, braying of donkeys, whirring
Of taxicabs, jangling of coins in the
open bazaars, continual shouts from
pilots Of this traffic medley, such as
"thy foot, sir or "to thy left. Oh
chief" all in the native tongue, Of
| course.
Gorgeous colors of every hue and
shade assail the eye-a post-impres-
sionistic fanfare of prehistoric color
schemes. The poorer the Egyptian
the more ragged; the more rags the
more colors. Then again the Arabs
1enOte their families and dynasties by
turbans of distinctive colors. To tell
prophets scion from a priest of to-
| lay, or one dervish order from an
other, or any of the countless dynas-
ties and sects apart, requires a study
rf turban lore as complicated as the
numerous insignia worn by American
soldiers returned from France.
The richer women, attended by serv-
ants, may be seen in carriages, faces
yelled to their eyes, eye lashes and
ids, fingers and exposed toes darkened
with henna, and bedecked with ear
rings, anklets, beads and bracelets.
Poorer women go afoot, also yelled,
garbed in plain robes highly sugges-
i've Of Mother Hubbards."
In the street crowds, too, are the
oeggars whose balloons serve the pur,
pose of the monkeys of our organ
grinders; snake charmers. vendors of
The ubiquitous scarabs and tiny craven
images, and the Berberine bead boys

CHINA'S HOLY PLACES

China's shrines, including those in
the much discussed Shantung, are de-
scribed in the following communica-
ton to the National Geographic society
by Frederick Mccormick:
"Coleridge could not have selected
a phrase more apt than stately pleas
ure dome had he intended to call at
tention to the best-known form in Chi
nese architecture. Like so much of
the wrought beauty of China, such as
is still seen in parks and gardens, pa
godas are the work of the Buddhist
church almost exclusively.
''The most beautiful specimens are
in the Yangtse valley, where pagodas
are most numerous. Every important
Chinese and Manchurian city is gar
landed with them. From the walls of Pc
king a dozen pagodas and towers may
be counted within the city, and with a
good glass half a dozen famous ones
may be seen rising from the surround
ing plain.
"Pagodas range in height from 20
to more than 200 feet, and are of va
rious shapes-round, square, hexag-
onal, octagonal, etc. They always have
an odd number of stories, ranging usu-
ally from seven to nine, and some
times possessing II and even Is.
"The Chinese have appropriated the
pagoda as counterpoise to evil, and
used it, subject to their rules Of ge-
ometry.
"At the city Of Tung, in the Peking
plain, a region in past years visited
by earthquakes, there is a prominent
pagoda which at one time had more
| than 1000 bronze bells suspended
from it's cornices, most of which are
still in place. The people have this
story as to its construction: A
water fowl lives underground at
this place and when he shakes his tail
| it causes earthquakes. Geomancers 10
Gated the end of his tail, and the pa
| CODA was built on it to hold it down
At the same time this did not prevent
the water fowl from winking his eye;
| but, as his eyelids have not been &C
curately located, second pagoda has
not yet been built. As a result, trem
blings of the earth still occur.
"The wonder inspired in the breast
of the traveller who visits China's vas
remains of abandoned capitals, exten
sive temples ranged in successive
courts and on terraces of mountains
it's pagodas, p'ai-lous, bridges, anC
canals, is equaled by the awe inspired
by the silent splendor of the tomb:
Of China's emperors. The tombs O
the kings of the six Kingdoms il
Shantung, though now only earther
pyramids terraced with little fields
have the air of the pyramids of Egypt

ST. PAUL'S: A CHURCH
WITH A STORY

Since postwar building needs al
'eady have robbed London of many
historic churches and threaten the ex-
istence of others, those that remain
will be enhanced in historic value One
Of those which will stand, barring
some natural calamity, is st. Pau's ca
fhedral. This famous church, like the
English constitution, represents a
growth of centuries rather than a def
lite period of construction. Indeed,
request for funds ito complete st.
Paurs" was made during the war. And
Englands esteem for the historic edi-
ice was shown by the continuation of
restoration work throughout the war
1espite the interruption to practically
al other building.
Still fresh in public memory is the
notable service of conservation attend
I'd by royalty and distinguished Amer
cans then in London, held in st. Paul's
April 20, 1917, to commemorate the
entry of the United States into the
war.
st. Paul's is the largest Protestant
,hurch in the world. Its dome is one
If the most beautiful. The church
smbodies architectural ideas of many
periods, because it is not the product
IF a generation, or even a century.
True, Sir Christopher Wren is credited
with the structure as it stands to-
lay, but he embodied many features
1f hn fa
n the great London fire of 1866. Wren
! lid not wish the restoration to be after
The "Gothick Rudeness of the old De-
sign" But he was compelled to mod
fly his own plans to a considerable
extent. Said he, of the balustrade
added over his veto: Ladies think
nothing well without and edging."
Travellers are apt to pass by an in.
scription on the south porch pedi.
nent, "Resurgam" Il shall rise again)
as religious reference to the resur
rection. When the architect was sur
veying the ruins he wished to mark
The center Of the projected dome. He
asked a workman to hand him a stone
The workman CHANGED to pick up G
chip from an old tomb bearing the in
scription, which Sir Christopher
adopted.
The motto was appropriate. Some
historians believe the cramped Lud
gate Hill site originally was that O
Roman shrine of Diana. A Christian
church is known to have been bull
here in the early seventh century. 1

KIEV: THE MART AND THE
SHRINE OF RUSSIA

kiev, which became u battle center
once more during the Pole-Bolshevik
fighting, already has changed hands
ten times in three years with its oc-
cupation by the Poles earlier this year.
Mother of Russian cities, also the
Jerusalem of Russia Kiev did not live
in the past, even before its recent ka-
sufficiently significant a thousand
years ago to give it's name to a three
century period of Russian history.
Both the Wall street and the Ply
mouth Rock of Russia each February
found thousands of merchants crowd
ing its fair to contract for merchap-
disc and produce, especially beet sugar,
and other seasons found hundreds of
thousands of pilgrims thronging its
unique shrine, the Convent of the
Caves.
Few cities offer such an agglomera-
ton of the old and the new. Kiev
lies upon the muddy Dnieper, the Ohio
river of Russia, formerly carrier of
some S60,0O0,000 worth of freight an
nually for the 100000 people within
its basin. Near its site Prince Vladf-
mir herded his people,, for wholesale
baptism, after he ha6 forsaken his pa
gan gods and thousand wives for
Christianity.
Russians embraced the new religion
with all the fervor with which they
had offered human sacrifices to the
abandoned idol, Perun. While Vladi-
mir held political sway at Kiev there
came a lowly monk, Anthony, who took
up his abode in cave Other devout
men followed his example. ,Archaeolo-
gists since have recognized in these
caves the homes Of dwellers of the
stone age.
The caves constitute but one feature
of the famous monastery which, with
its streets of churches, cells, inns and
schools, is a small city in itself
Among the mummies that formerly lay
in open coffins, enveloped in costly
robes, was that of Nestor, the Russian
Herodotus, whose chronicles are re
sponsible for the tradition that Kiey
was founded by three brothers in the
ninth century.
From the Gave Town" quarter Of
| the city one emerges suddenly into the
Podol, or trading quarter, suggesting
a New England factory city, with its
mills and shops, for paper, machinery
tobacco, chemicals and hardware. Kiey
not only was the chief seat Of the Rus
| sian beet sugar trade, but also deal
| heavily in timber, live stock and grain
Its recent growth has been rapid. II
1889 is had less than 100000 peo
| pie. and in 1911 more than 100000.
Oldest of the better known cities O.
Russia, Kiev gave Russia her frs
Christian church, first library, frs
Christian school, and today it boast
the oldest cathedral of the former EN-
pire, that of ST Sophia. Therein il

sisted the vandal frenzy of the Ia
tars when they smashed other price

MARKETING.

"It is surprising" said Mr.. Robin,
show many creatures forget that
they're not the only ones who go mar
keting
Ladies go to the shops and thec
think they're the only ones who see
that their families are fed. But they're
not at all. OF course they are most
important and so are their families,
and l wouldn't say they weren't, for
it wouldn't be so.
But still, others go to the markets
too, even though they may not all go
to the same ones. And it is good
thing they don't, for the shopkeepers
and the grocers and butchers would
run out of the foodstuffs they had
to sell.
"Now, all of the robins go a-mar-
keting. We Robins are very good
at it. And most of the gentlemen
birds do the marketing when the moth
| er birds are watching over the eggs
/ and the little birdlings."
"That is So" agreed Mrs. Robin,
/
about looking after the food for the
! home when we're busy guarding the
the nests and seeing that the eggs
hatch out into dear little birdlings.
"And you always know where to get
the best worms"
s"To be sure" said Mr.. Robin, ''and
that is what I meant when 1 said that
though we did not go to the same
markets as people we went marketing,
too.
What a horrible thing it would be
f people did come to the lawns and
began digging up all the worms
Gracious, the poor birds would have
a dreadful time!
But they don't do that any more
than we go to the grocery stores and
package of potatoes and another of
onions, and one more of meat which
we'd order at the meat shop.
"It is fair the way things are di
Tided up. The robins have theil
places where they market. The rab
bits have theirs, though they are quite
fond of things that the groups-ups
the people, have, such as carrots ant
lettuce. They love lettuce and they
adore carrots!
But they're also fond of clover anC
people do not eat clover.

who eat the insects and bugs whicl

METEoRS.

Observations made simultaneously
from stations far apart have proved
that the average meteor when first
seen is about eighty miles above the
surface of the earth. and disappears
from view at thirty miles, In other
words it travels fifty miles before the
atmospheric friction burns it up. This
friction, it is recKoned, raises it TO a
temperature of something like 3,000,-

size, it cannot reach our planet

GIVING NATURE FAIR CHANCE

able Excuse for Refusing to Be
Up and About.

"Arise!'' we said in tone admirably
adapted for declamatory purposes, i'd
dressing the sluggard. who was still
slugging at an unconscionably late
hour. ''The lark is up to meet the sun.
