ISLE OF ROMANCE:
Monte Cristo Famed in Hist::::y
and Legend.
aumor That Ex.President WIIsos
Would Make His Home There
Awakened Worlds Interest.

Newspaper reports to the effect
that eX-President Wilson had bought
tie island OF Monte Cristo in the
Tuscan archipelago, as the home for
his retirement, caused the Rome
Epoca to publish an interesting ac-
count of this romantic island, six
miles square, which the elder Dumas
assigned as title to the hero of his
famous novel, '"The Count Of Monte
Cristo." Ex-President Wilson, says
the Rome correspondent Of the Lon.
don Morning Post in summarizing the
EpOca story. even had he so wished,
could not have purchased the island,
which Is the property OF the Italian
state. and has been for many years
leased by the king Of Italy.
In the quiet days before the wal.
Victor Emmanuel iii and Queen Elena
used to pass some Of their happiest
hours at Monte Cristo. far from the
cares OF state and not near the Italian
peninsula-for Monte Cristo is by no
means easily accessible. Before the
king, that we'll known sportsman and
Alpinist, the Marchese Carlo Glnori,
acquired In 1880, and on which he
spent during his tenancy large sums
Before his tine Monte Cristo became,
n 1876, an agricultural colony, de-
pendent upon the penal settlement of
he neighbOring island Of PianOSa. the
'xile of Agrlppa Postumus, the grand.
son of Augustus, who, as Tacltus mar
rates, was there put to death on the
accession of Tiberius. Earlier still.
between 1850 and 1875, Monte Cristo
was the abode Of a strange visionary.
Davide Lazzaretti, who lived I'm a cave
and fancied that, like st. Francis Of
Assist, he had received the stigmata.
Shortly after the middle Of the last
century an Englishman named Taylor
leased the island, laid out gardens and
constructed Ponds, till he, too, disap.
peared from It's history. At that time,
before the union Of Italy, Monte Cristo
was the property Of the grand duchy
Of Tuscany, which, In 1850, had sent
four soldiers and q corporal thither
from Elba, whose successor was a GER
tain Nj. Abriel, Il Frenchman in busi-
ness at Leghorn. In Abriel's time the
population rose to eleven, and the two
buildings were erected which torn
the nucleus Of the present royal shoot
ng box.
For centuries before 1850 the island
vas forgotten by all save Dumas and
his readers, most Of whom probably
knew not where 1t was or whether It
-eally existed. But there was q
'amaldulesian monastery there In the
Thirteenth century. Of which the ruins
still remain, an evidence Of the piracy

Chicago Board of Trade
To Push Waterway

Chicago, Sept. ga committee to
.epresent the grain trade in the ST.
lawrence deep seaway project has
cen appointed by Robert McDougal,
'esident of the Chicago Board of
'rade.
Full development of the inland
seaway," said Chairman Geoge S.
Bridge, in announcing the commit
tees plans today, "would add from
five to ten cents bushel to all grain
crown in the great productive area.
This is based on surveys by trans
ortation experts.
ut is estimated that five cent a
bushel saving on transportation cost
o European countries would add
$183 100000 to the agricultural in

eft to the farmer as we'll as to the
public generally readily can be seen
Transportation has long been prime
factor in distribution costs. A deep
5eaway would be logical solution.
he Chicago Board of Trade will
work for the contamination of the

ed all other sound movements in be
half of greater returns to the farmer.
In the district that would benefit
.'irectly by the deep seaway are six
cen states that pour part of their
Ggricultural products into Chicago.
These states produce three-fourths
Of the wheat of the country, and more
han 400,0O0,O0O bushels Of wheat is
handled every year by the Chicago
3oard of Trade.
"These same states also produce
70 percent Of the corn, and half Of
The cattle, hogs, horses, butter, eggs,
: hees and wool. They mine 85 per-
cent of Theron ore, 40 percent Of the
copper and coal, rs percent Of the
zinc and AS percent of the lead.
Chicago is the focal point of the
great production area, a world rail

The American Mule
Reigns Supreme In Armenis


k Erivan, Sept. 21-The American
mule is 2.06 times as efficient as the
Armenian OK, and 2.68 times as eff
cient as the Caucasian horse, accord
ing to figures reported by the Am
erican farming experts in charge Of
the agricultural program Of the Near
East and the Caucasus.
These computations are made on d
cost efficiency basis, taking into con-
sideration capital investment, upkeep,
length of service and amount of work
accomplished, The mule beats even
the tractor in small farming opera
tions, but farms of more than 500
acres bring down tractor costs per
unit Of work done to a basis below
that of the mule.
American mules were introduced
here about year ago. American re-
lief organizations now use 800 Of
these animals on their various agr,.
cultural relief projects. Plans for the
breeding of the American type mule
on Armenian soil will be shortly carr
ried into effect in northern Armenia.

ihe Marriage of Priests
Made Easier in Russia

Moscow, Sept. 2s.-Questions re-
lating to the right Of marriage Of the
clergy have been thrashed out at the
congress of the new living church"
which aims to succeed the old ortho
aox church of Russia. The conclu-
son was reached by the young cler
gy," as they call themselves, that vir-
tually ali restrictions of wedlock be
removed.
After devoting several days to dis
.ussing matters of matrimony it was
decided to permit married priests tS
Lecome archbishops; to allow priests
70 marry second time and retain
he same dignity as before; to per-
nit monks to marry after they have
renounced their vows and without
losing their rank of honor, and to per.
.nit priests to marry widows. 1t was
also decided not to consider as an
obstacle to marriages the fourth de.
cree of relationship.
Requests to the Soviet govern
ent providing Tor the transfer oi
the treasures of the chorches and
id monasteries, were framed as part
the program gradually to take
over the affairs of the old orthodox
hurch.
The new living church desires the
establishment of a single church
;reasury, and in this connection it has
nade plans for handling all the sums
collected in the various churches
throughout Russia, the government
having been asked to make it posi-
HE for the new element to take over
Am:nis ration of church affairs

from the worshippers; revenues from

Predicts Wide Use
Of Dirigibles

Belleville, ILL.,, Sept. 29.-One-third
of the population of the United States
will be flying in dirigibles in the
near future, according to a predic-
ton of A. Leo Stevens, chief instruc-
tor of aeronautics for the United
) ates army at Scott Field, near
here. Mr.. Stevens, in 1902, made the
frst dirigible flight in the country.
The dirigibles, Mr.. Stevens said,
will range in size from the small
"vest pocket" type to mammoth ma
hines carrying from 10 to 20 motors.
"The dirigibles of the future will
have pontoons," he asserted, "and
the water will be helpful for landing
places. The machines of the future
will carry from ten to twenty motors.
The compartments in the large air.
ships will be equipped with safety
Serths. The touching Of button by
the commander will cause every pas
senger to descend towards earth at
the same time. Each berth will have
all necessary equipment for landing
and floating it's passengers to safe
ty.
"The army Of the future will travel
through the air and it will be nothing
to see thousand or more men trans
norted at one time in one machine.
! believe it is only matter Of a short
time when one-third of the population
Of this country will be flying all sorts
of aerial contrivances, and we will
have west pocket size dirigible for
those who don't care to own large
craft"
