Lived Thirty Year. on Pillar.

A shepherd of Cilicia named Simeon, now known in church history as St. Simeon Stylites, was the founder of the Stylites, sometimes called the Air Martyres, but usually known as Pillar Saints, and its most conspicuous ex- ample. With the idea of gaining the favor of heaven and attaining saint ship on earth, he took up his residence on "a pillar, or column, said to have been 60 feet high, the top of which was about three feet in diameter, and was inclosed by an iron railing.
 He is said to have lived here for 50 years, never descending, eating spar ingly of food sent up to him, always standing or lowing in prayer, and ex- posed to all kinds of weather. He wore the skins of animals, and al- ways kept an iron band around his neck. At a certain hour every day he addressed those gathered at the foot of the pillar, exhorting them to lives of holiness. He died on top of this pillar, and his body was taken to Antioch and buried with imposing ceremonies. The sect did not entirely disappear till the Twelfth century.

PlIinas Now Made of Paper.

Piles for submarine supports are now being made of paper in California, the chief recommendation of which Is the fact that they are not subject to attack by the toredo, which ruins wooden piles in short time. On a long wooden cylinder a long roll of tarred paper with glued edges Is wound and covered with cord. Over this another band of paper, much mar rower, is wound diagonally like the bandage on a wounded arm. The cylinder Is revolved while 1t Is bound with more cord, hot glue being applied continuously. After three layers of paper have been put in place, the wooden cylinder is removed and the paper cylinder is reinforced with a coarse mesh.
 A mixture of cement and sand Is squirted all over the cylinder, and several cylinders are joined end to end with the same cement so as to make a pile 60 feet long and from IS to 30 Inches in diameter, A square steel head is fitted over the top to receive the shocks of the piledriver.

 He had not been able to determine, during the evening, Wassaquam's atti- tude toward him. Having no one else to trust, Alan had been obliged to put a certain amount of trust in the h. dian: so as he had explained to Was saquam that morning that the desk and the drawers in the title room off Corvet's had been forced, and had warned him to see that no one who had not proper business there entered the house. Wassaquam had appeared to accept this order; but now Wassa- quam had implied that 1t was not be- cause of Alan's order that he had re- fused reporters admission to the house.
 Alan started and went quickly to the open door of his room, as he heard voices now somewhere within the house. One of the voices he recog- nized as Wassaquam's; the other in- distinct, thick, accusing-was un- known to him; 1t certainly was not Spearman's. He descended swiftly to the first floor, and found Wassaquam standing in the front hall. alone.

 Alan got his coat and hat. The sudden disappearance of the man might mean only that he had hurried away, but 1t might mean, too, that he was still lurking near the house.

 "Is that the man, Judah?" he de- handed.
 "Yes, Alan"
 Alan ran down the steps and at full speed after the man. But when he reached the corner, he was nowhere in sight. Alan retraced his steps for several blocks, still looking; then he gave it up and returned east toward the Drive.
 The side street leading to the Drive was not well lighted; dark entry ways and alleys opened on 1t but the night was clear Alan could see at the end of the street, beyond the yellow glow of the distant boulevard lights, the smooth, chill surface of the lake. A white light rode above 1t; now, below the white light, he saw a red speck- the masthead and port lanterns of steamer northward bound. Farther out, a second white glow appeared from behind the obscuration of the buildings and below 1t green speck- starboard light. Information he had gained enabled him to recognize in these, lights two steamers passing one another at the harbor mouth.

 One night a fire was announced by the violent ringing of the alarm bell. and the sleepy brigade arrived at the scene of action to find the building wreathed in curling black smoke.
