ARTICLE KIN RETROSPECT.

Brush away the clouds of cam- pairn discussion. the smoke of cam paign oratory, the camoufiage used for campaign artillery.
 Do this because the League of Ma tions committee on membership has given a meaning to Article Ten that furnishes the wind to disperse those clouda and smoke and uncover tho stuff hidden beneath tho camouhAse.
 Tho representatives of the league oathered together have said that Article Ten does not guarantee the territorial integrity of the members as claimed by Republican orators.
 Article Ten merely condemns ex- ternal aggression on the territorial in- tegrity and political independence ot members
 It is reported also that Denmark replied to the request of the Council for troops for the League army at Wilma, that. although the party lead CTS favored granting the request. the Constitution required that the grant ing of such request must he approved by the Danish Parliament before it could bo complied with.
 The discussion in the United States concerning tho meaning. of this article may or may not have had something to do with this explanation and the action of the representative of Den mark. At any rate, had it been made before election, many of the notes for speeches. of political speakers would have had to be revised.
 In other words. by precedent and definition. the United States would not have to send her men across the sea to fight for d nation attacked by another. were the United States in the League, without the consent of con gross. and congress would be under no moral or other obligation 10 de- clare war against the aggressor. ac- cording to this latest definition com ing from the body which alone has the power to define-a body repre- senting the League itself.

subsequently became Pope Plus II and
incidentally was very close student
OF contemporary affairs of Bohemia,
records that the churches of the
Czechs possessed many thigh and wide
windows which were brightly and ar

decorating was not confined to the
churches in the large cities and towns,
but even the distant hamlets prided
themselves on churches containing
windows ornamented in a similar fash

OF technical arts Of the University of
Prague included courses in painting,
wood carving and glass ornamentation.

student unless he could exhibit suffi-
cient aptitude as a "glass man" or
qualify in "glassery," practical DEM

which this branch of the arts was held.

MEMORIES CLING TO CHAPEL
Old House of Worship in Santa Fe,
New Mexico, Worthy Of Rev.
erent Attention,

The chapel, in Sante Fe N. NJ, is
one of the oldest in the United States,
and is fraught with quaint, old-time
legends, interviewer with tales Of the
padres trials with the Indians in
days long past. To enter, one rings
a large, oldtime bell, which clangs
out harshly. An aged man appears
in answer to this summons, and leads
the way into the dim, whitewashed
chapel Great wooden beams bear tes-
timony to the solidity Of building in
those days, one bearing the date ITO,
this being the date of it's restoration
after having been badly wrecked by
the Indians, who preferred their
"Great Spirit" to the white mans re-
ligion, and too-officious padres. On
both sides of the affairs are ancient
paintings, faded now and worn. but
one may decipher on one the date,
1881" This church also has huge
old bell, said to have been cast in
Spain, the tones of which are clear
and very loud. The adobe walls, at
least four feet in thickness, bear evil
dence of the time when even the
churches must be so constructed as
to stop the flight of arrows and bull
lets. San Miguel carries one from the

PEK!NG'S WALL OF DRAGONS
Myth: ca! Creatures in Tiles That at
First Sight Appear Surpris-
ingIy Lifelike.

One of the unexpected treasures OF
Picking is the dragon screen. It is
barely mentioned in some of the guide
books and not mentioned at all in
others. 1t is hidden behind hillOck
in the winter palace grounds, and nine
tenths Of the visitors to Picking walk
within hundred yards of it and
never dream of it's existence.
1t is Il wall perhaps 20 feet high
and a hundred long, faced completely
with tile cast to represent nine life
size dragons in bas relief, of various
colors-yellow, purple, buff, maroon,
orange, dancing gayly above emerald
pillows, against pale blue sky.
Doubtless one should not speak of
life size dragons, but these creatures
OF the screen are the alivest dragons
one may ever hope to see; they give
rise to-. the feeling that if a dragon
lived he would be exactly like one of
them.
Most sculptured Chinese dragons
are liieess, angular beasts; but here
there is an almost un-Chinese vigor and
aui|ac:ty in the spring and twist Of
the I"the bodies. They leap, whirl
Iunge and writhe until the spectator
steps back, half afraid that they will
come tNmbling off the screen, striking
at the unWary with their sturdy claws.
There are, l believe, critics who teach
that plastic art should never under
take to portray moments of activity.
If this he correct, the dragons stand
condemned: but if the sculptor may
ever rightly give us life in it's vivid,
moving moments, here is a master
piece.-.James A. Muller in the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine.

No Self Starter.

A wealthy New Yorker invited a
party out to his summer home at Great
Neck, Long Island, to see his horses
and go for ride. One Of them, bank
er, though dressed for the part, knew
nothing of horses, had never been on
one.
Having been properly mounted, with
the assistance of a groom, the banker
took the reins as per direction and sat
motionless. He did not know how to
start; still, he realized with embar-
rassment that his inaction was at
tracing the attention Of the other
riders.

some irritation, commence !"-Satur-

Condor's Method of Killing.

Up among the cold white peaks OF
the Andes, higher than human foot
has had the daring to tread, is some
times seen a dark speck slowly cir
cling in the clear air. The speck
gradually descends. and we see that
it is the largest bird of the air, the
condor. Its flight is swifter than the
eagles. Nothing but the distance
could have made the condor of the
Andes seem small and slow on the
wing. Swiftly descending, cruel, hun
cry, he fastens his eye upon some
luckless lamb or kid. Rarely it is able
to escape; successful resistance is i'm
possible.
The condor cannot carry off its
prey in it's talons, like the eagle, for
it has not the eagles power of grasp,
and the sharpness of it's claws is in
time worn off on the hard rocks which
are it's home; so, standing on the
struggling animal with one foot, the
condor kills the poor thing with it's
powerful beak and his other foot.

I BOLIVIA soURC Z OF co CANE
South American Country Produces
Supply Of Anesthetic That Fills .

The most profitable agricultural
product of Bolivia is the coca plant,
from which the anesthetic cocaine
is derived. The world depends mainly
for it's supplies Of coca leaves upon
that South American country. A 3:
The Bolivian natives commonly
chew it for. it's narcotic effect. It en-
ables the Indian burden bearer. to go

work long stretches without rest. IN
fortunately, its continued use is in
furious to the nervous system, and
10 supposed to have much to- do with
the degeneration of the native race
OF the Bolivian plateau.
The coca plant is shrub three or
four feet high. Its leaves are of an
oval shape and light green. The
shrub Is grown on terraces built on
the hillsides. These terraces are about
ten inches wide and are protected by
ramparts of earth faced with stones
Or cement. The terracing prevents
the heavy rains from washing the

side, and also holds the moisture
about the roots Of the plant.
Young shoots are grown under
cover of dried banana leaves, and
when sufficiently advanced are trans
planted to the terraces. The plants
begin bearing when two years old.
After the leaves are picked they are
dried in the sun on a floor made of
slabs of slate. They are then pressed
into bales weighing fifty pounds each.
and wrapped in banana leaves and
burlap to protect them against wealth

to La Paz by mules. In La Paz they
are at present worth Al cents gold

Bolivia manufactures no cocaine.
The leaves are exported to other
countries for the extraction of that
active principle.
