SHRINE LOOTED OF TREASURE
Russia's Soviet Government Has Ap-
propriated Riches OF Famous
Church of Saint Sergius.

use as a barricade the buildings OF
what was once regarded as the rich

in the monastery. Fifteen others have
removed q mile and a half distant to
the Church of Gethsemane, at Cher
nigovskaya where they have founded a
humble community and till the soil.
The other monks who lived at this vast
religious mecca, to which yearly went
100000 pilgrims. have Neen scattered.
There are but few pilgrims now to
pray before the ikon of st. Sergius,
the miraculous powers Of which was
supposed by Russians to have saved
the monastery from destruction by the
French army of invasion in 1872. The
very jewels Of the open silver sar-
cophagus OF st. Sergius have been re-
moved or replaced with false ones, 1t
is claimed. Many of the vast treasure
Of church vessels, mitres and crozlers,
made of solid gold and inlaid with
precious stones Of immense value are
missing. 1t is claimed that the loot

reduction from that Of 1920, when the
figures were s227 $4,000. While in
certain departments there was fall.
Ing off in production, due partially to
business depression, still there is rea-

WOODPECKER SETS FIRE TO

Citizens Of Morrow, Ga, Puzzled

A red-headed woodpecker, harm

set the citiizenry of Morrow, Ga, all
agog.
And rightly so, for this same harm

set fire to one of the largest oak trees
in that town, in the front yard of W.

a Whitehall street jeweler, vouched
for the story Monday and gave lisl

strange event.

that woodpecker working on his home
there in my yard" Mr.. Nolan said

working overtime it seemed to me
but I didn't pay much attention tc
him. The tree had been topped and
was dead about two feet down from
the top.
Sunday afternoon I noticed RED
glow and some smoke coming out OF
the tree. l watched it for a while
and it got bigger and bigger. When
evening came a number of ne!ghbors
came by and watched the tree burn
l stayed up for 1 was afraid that a
wind might come up and set my house
on fire. At last, about 9 o'clock, we
had to cut the tree down and put Out
the fire.
"There are no wires whatever in
my yard and there was no possible
way for that tree to catch on fire
without the help Of the woodpecker
The fire seemed to have been on the
inside of the tree and when we had
cut it down nearly all the inside had
been burned.
"There have been a lot of specula-
tions about it. I don't know what
to believe, myself.
"My little boy had one suggestion
that is about as good as any. He
said that the bird had worked SO
hard that it's bill had got hot and set
fire to the dead part Of the tree. One
neighbor was positive that there was
some sort of gas formed by 1he dead
wood. Still another thought that
squirrels had been there and left q
match which the woodpecker had
struck. However it was, l know he
must have been the cause of it. The
woodpecker does not carry debris to
it's nest"
"Naturalist5 might find something
interesting in this to work on" he
said.s"As for me, l don't know"
