CHINA'S HOLY PLACES

Chinas 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.
1.-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 dozen pagodas and towers may
be counted within the city, and with
good glass half 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 IL and even Is.
1.-THE Chinese have appropriated the
pagoda as a counterpoise to evil, and
used II, subject to their rules Of ge-
ometry.
AT the city Of Tung, In tie Picking
plain, region In past years visited
by earthquakes, there Is a prominent
pagoda which at one time had more
from Its 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
1t causes earthquakes. Geomancers To-
Gated the end Of his tail, and the pa
CODA was built on 1t to hold IL down.
At the same time this. did not prevent
the water fowl from winking his eye |;
but, as his eyelids have not been ac-
curately located, a 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 vast
remains Of abandoned capitals, exten.
sive temples ranged in successive
courts and on terraces Of mountains,
its pagodas, p'ai-lous, bridges, and
canals, is eQualed by the awe inspired
by the silent splendor of the tombs
of China's emperors. The tombs OF
the kings Of the Six Kingdoms in
Shantung, though now only earthen
pyramids terraced with little fields
have the air Of the pyramids of Egypt"

EARTHQUAKE PLAYED
PINC-PONC WITH
MAN-OF-WAR
Earthquakes play queer pranks.

earthquakes play queer prankS.
Recent seismic disturbances In Italy
have attracted renewed attention to
this phenomenon, and recall an amaz-
ing incident In the annals of the Amer
lean navy In which United States
man-of-war was carried on the crest
Of tidal wave three miles up the
coast, two miles inland, and set down,
entirely unframed, within a hundred
feet Of the Andes.
This thrilling incident is recounted
in communication to the National
Geographic society by one of the par
Elephants, Rear Admiral L. G. Billings,
u. S. N, retired, as follows:
''In 1868 was attached to the u. s.
S. Wateree. then on duty in the
South Pacific-one Of class of
boats built at the close of the Civil
war to ascend the narrow, tortuous riv-
ers of the South; she was termed
a double ender,' having a rudder at
each end, and was quite flat-bottomed,
a conformation which, while 1t did not
add to her sea-gOing worthiness, en-
abled her to carry large battery and
crew, and eventually saved our lives
in the catastrophe which was soon to
come upon us.
august, 1868, found us quietly at
anchor off the pretty Peruvian town of
AFRICA, whittier we had towed the old
United States storeship Fredonla to
escape the ravages of yellow fever,
then desolating Callao and Lima.
1T was August 8 that the awful ca
lamity came upon us, like a storm
from a cloudless sky, overwhelming us
all I'm one common ruin.
II was sitting In the cabin with our
commanding officer, about p. m,
when we were startled by a violent
trembling Of the ship, similar to the
effect produced by letting go the
anchor. Knowing II could not be that.
we ran on deck. Looking shoreward,
our attention was instantly arrested
by great cloud Of dust rapidly ap-

ST. PAUL'S: A CHURCH
WITH A STORY

Since postwar building needs al
ready have robbed London of many
historic churches and threaten the ex-
will be enhanced In historic value. One
of those which will hand, barring
some natural calamity, fseSt. Paul's ca
thedral. This famous church, like the
English constitution, represents q
growth CT centuries rather than a def
mite period of construction. Indeed,
a request for funds ito complete st.
Paurs" was made during the war. And
England's esteem for the historic edi-
fee was shown by the continuation of
restoration work throughout the war
despite the interruption to practically
all other building.
Still fresh In public memory Is the
notable service of conservation attend
ed by royalty and distinguished Amer
leans 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
church In the world. It's dome Is one
Of the most beautiful. The church
embodies architectural ideas Of many
periods, because II Is not the product
Of a generation, or even a century.
True, Sir Christopher Wren is credited
with the structure as IL stands to-
day, but he embodied many features
of the famous "Old st. Paul's," razed
I'm the great London fire of 1866. Wren
did not wish the restoration to be after
the "Gothick Rudeness of the old De-
sign" But he was compelled to mod
ify his own plans to 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
scrlption on the south porch pedi-
ment, "Resurgam" q shall rise agaln)
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 workman to hand him a stone.
The workman CHANGED to pick up a
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 Of
q Roman shrine Of Diana. A Christian
church is known TO have been built
there in the early seventh century. II

KEW: THE MART AND THE
SHRINE OF RUSSIA

kiev, which became Dattle center
once more during the Pole-Bolshevik
fighting, already has changed hands
ten times In three years with Its &C.
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-
leidoscopic adventures, though 1t was
sufficiently significant thousand
years ago to give its name to 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 it's fair to contract for merchan-
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. K1ev
lies upon the muddy Dnieper, the Ohio
river of Russia, formerly carrier of
some $60,OOO,OO0 worth of freight an
nualy for the 100000 people within
its basin. Near Its site Prince Vladi-
mir herded his people, for wholesale
baptism, after he had 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 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 jewellers 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 small city in itself.
Among the mummies that formerly lay
In open collins, enveloped In costly
robes, was that Of Nestor, the Russian
Herodotus, whose chronicles are re-
sponsible for the tradition that Kiev
was founded by three brothers In the
ninth century.
From the "Cave Town" quarter Of
the city one energies suddenly into the
Podol, or trading quarter, suggesting
New England factory city, with its
mills and shops, for paper, machinery,
tobacco, chemicals and hardware. Kiev
not only was the chief seat of the Rus
sian beet sugar trade, but also dealt
heavily In timber, live stock and grain.
It's recent growth has been rapid. In
1889 is had less than 100000 peo-
ple and In 1911 more than 100000.
Oldest Of the better known cities Of
Russia, Kiev gave Russia her first
Christian church, first library. first
Christian school, and today 1t boasts
the oldest cathedral of the former en-
pire, that of st. Sophia. Therein is
the so-called "Virgin Of the Unbreak-
able WALL" Because the figure re-
sisted the vandal frenzy Of the Ta-
tars when they smashed other price
less treasures of the church.
Kiev is the seat Of government Of
the new republic Of Ukraine. 1t is
624 miles southwest of Moscow and
270 miles north of Odessa.

was burned two decades after William
the Conqueror came to England. From
the ruins emerged "Old st. Paul's."
Fire destroyed that building. too, but
1t was restored on an even more pre-
tentious scale.
At the "Old st. Paul's" John Wy
cliffe faced the charge of heresy. Tyn-
dale's New Testament was burned.
Wolsey heard the reading of the papal
condemnation Of Luther, and under
"Powle's Cross" now marked by me-
mortal, heretics were forced to recant
and witches to confess.
Charlevoix county herald., 1920-10-15

and before our astonished eyes the
hills seemed to nod, and the ground
swayed like the short. choppy waves
of troubled sea.
THE clouds enveloped africa. In
stantly through, its impenetrable veil
aroseuthe cries for help, the crash Of
failing houses and the thousand COM
mingled noises Of great calamity,
while the ship was shaken as II
grasped by giant hand; then the
cloud passed on.
"But our troubles then commenced.
We were startled by a terrible noise
on shore, as of a tremendous roar of
musketry, lasting several minutes.
Again the trembling earth waved to
and fro, and this time the sea receded
until the shipping was left stranded,
while as far to seward as our vision
could reach, We saw the rocky bottom
of the sea, never before exposed to hu-
man gaze, with struggling fish and
monsters of the deep left high and
dry. The round-bOttomed ships keeled
over on their beam ends, while the
Wateree rested easily on her floor
like bottom; and when the returning
sea, not like wave, but rather an
enormous tide, came sweeping back,
rolling our unfortunate companion
ships over and over, leaving some bot
tom up and others masses of wreck
age, the Wateree rose easily over the
tossing waters, unframed.
'From this moment the sea seemed
to defy the laws Of nature. Currents
were borne here and there with speed
we could not have equaled had we
been steaming for our lives. At irreg-
ular intervals the earthquake shocks
required, but none of them so violent
or long continued as the first.
about 8 80 p. m. the lookout hailed
the deck and reported breaker APP
preaching. Looking seward, we saw,
first, thin line Of phosphorescent
light, which loomed higher and higher
until 1t seemed to touch the sky Its
crest, crowned with the death light of
phOsphorescent gloy, showing the sui
len masses Of water below.
"NNith a crash our gallant ship was
overwhelmed and buried deep beneath
a semi-solid mass of sand and wa
ter. For breathless eternity we were
submerged, grooming In every timber,
the stanch old Wateree struggled again
to the surface, with her gasping crew
still clinging to the life-lines-some
few seriously wounded, bruised and
battered; none killed; not one even
missing. A miracle 1t seemed to us
then, and as look back through the
years 1t seems doubly miraculous now.
1.-The morning sun broke on scene
of desolation seldom witnessed. We
found ourselves high and dry in little
cove, or rather indentation, In the
coast line. We had been. carried some
three miles up the coast and nearly
two miles inland. The wave had car
ried us over the sand dunes bordering
the ocean, across valley and over the
railroad track, leaving us at the foot
of the seacoast range of the Andes. On
the nearly perpendicular front Of the
mountain our navigator discovered the
marks of the tidal wave, and, by meas
urements, found II to have been Al feet
high, not including the comb. Had the
wave carried us 200 feet farther we
would inevitably have been dashed to
pieces against the mountainside."

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, q record Of disorders that makes
bolshevism nouveau-anarchy, and a
picturesqueness all Its own.
From the citadel ramparts the visit
or receives the best introduction to
Cairo, that unforgettable view-the an
Client city at his feet. vast panorama
Of houses and palaces and novels,
flecked 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. "Clty 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
camels, 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
denote their families and dynasties by
turbans Of distinctive colors. To tell
a prophets scion from a priest Of to-
day, or one dervish order from an
other, or any Of the countless dynas-
ties and sects apart, requires a study
OF 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
SeGed to their eyes, eye lashes and
lids fingers and exposed toes darkened
VIZ henna, and bedecked with ear
rings, anklets, beads and bracelets.
Poorer women go afoot, also yelled,
CARRIED in plain robes highly sugges-
tive of Mother Hubbards."
In the street crowds, too, are the
beggars 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.
