They saw lovely lake Masha- paug, and visited Mrs. Lawton at Mount Ochepetuck, having a delight full visit and returning genuinely sur prised at the view, the fire lookout tower, and the general charm and i'm dividuality that set the place apart from the usual matter-of-cOurse, coun- try-side. An added attraction for the summer will be the tea-rOOm, plans for which are formulating and the many friends who for years have en- joyed the hospitality of the proprie- tress, will be glad of the opportunity of making her venture a success.

Appeals to Adventurous.

Though some of those who know the polar regions develop a kind of love for them, the experience of two British explorers who spent year on an Antarctic island with no shelter but an overturned boat must have been a severe test of whatever affection they may have had for those attitudes. r.. w. Bagshawe, geOlOgist and Lieu tenant c. M. Lester, navigating officer, had provisions, dogs and scientific in struments to keep them company when their companions sailed north, leaving the two to make observations. The re-, turn expedition fell into financial diff faculties and sent a rescue ship hack only in the nick of time. Besides scientific interest, ventures into the far north and the far south probably are actuated by what one may call sporting impulse. With them it is game. They return again and again, and with success comes a genuine lik- ing for the icy seas and archipeIagoes, such as led StefanssOn to call the northern polar region "the friendly arctic. ."-New York Sun.

MADONNA WITH SILVER HALO
Remarkable Picture Among Other Fine Specimens In Historic Greek
 Church at Sitka, AIaslGa.

Way up in Sitka, Alaska, that de- lightful old place of Russian memo ries where the thermometer seldom goes below zero in winter, there Is an old Greek church which is famous all along the Pacific coast. Dating from the days of Baranon, it has stood through many storms and vicissitudes, and was for years the chief see in the Russlan-Greek church of western America.
 There arc several unique paintings In this church which were brought over from Russia in the early years, ana everyone who is fortunate enough to go f9-AlaSka comes away from this "lnsS sss; faded, g1een-colOred church with Enthusiasm over the examples of fine art that decorate the chancel and 'al- tar. Chief among these paintings Is one of the so-called Sitka Madonna.
 The peculiar feature about thess paintings, which Is said to be em- plOyed nowhere else in the world, is the use of beaten silver for halOS and accessories The metal Is laid on such a manner that 1t is almost impossible to separate 1t from the rest of the painting, and 1t produces a rich effect that pigments cannot attain. The pie ture of the Madonna and Child has voluminOuS drapery of this beaten sill yer, and the fame of it's beauty is we'll understood along the Pacific coast.
 The Ascension, over the bronze doors to the holy of holy screen, is a gem of Byzantine art. and the jew eled helmets and halos in the paintings of the saints show the wonderful yer satility of the Old-time Russian artists. Massive candlesttcks, jeweled crowns, and robes of cloth of gold are in this historic church-a reminder of histOr- ic Alaska and the time when stern Baranoff and his iron-hsaTted followers held full sway.

Rabbits Made Sacrifice.

Careful observations have been made in France of the extent to which mosquitoes are attracted to domestic animals in preference to human be- ings. It was proved eXperimentally that mosquitoes have a strong predi- lection for the blood of rabbits, strong CT than that of any other domestic animal. This discovery has been practically applied in many parts of France as a protection from mos Quitoes, and particularly from those that carry germs of malaria and sim liar diseases. - Popular Mechanics Magazine.

It is reported that play entitled. "The Island of Monkeys" in which the players are all to be dressed in the guise of various sorts of apes, is shortly to be produced in Milan, Italy. Tn view of Rostand's successful dram atiZation of the dwellers of barn. yard, one will wait until after the pre- miere to say that 1t can't be done. Then there was the Operetta "Wood- Iand," in which all the characters were birds. David BelascO's press depart ment for some time nOurished rumor that the producer had in preparation a drama in which all the characters were insects. This manager secured very nearly as much publicity for this odd notion as William Gillette did for his consistently reported intention to play Hamlet.
