A Cross In Perpetual Snow
Impressive though these forma-
tions may be, they become insignif-
cant when compared with the massive
grandeur of the Mount of the Holy
Cross. This latter may well be re-
garded as one of Natures MASTER
pieces. The mountain itself is a giant
of the Rockies, with an altitude of
practically 1000 feet above sea-level,
and it's rugged and rock-bound slopes
would command respect for sheer
magnitude alone. This phase of in
terest, however, is altogether sec
ondary. The real wonder of the pea X
is in the shining symbol of the Chris
tian religion wrought by the forces of
nature on it's eastern slope. Through
the striking arrangement of two
mighty clefts in the face OF the noun
tain Nature has created a perfect
cross, which extends along the noun
tain side for almost its entire height,
and which stands forth in solemn
grandeur to ehe- awe-inspired visitor.
The haAc of the cross are always con-
spiosSus by reason Of the snow which
S,hngs to the deep clefts in summer as
definitely as IN winter, a perpetual
and changeless bearer of the message
of Christianity.
Hanging Lake
When Colorado goes in for natural
curiosities it may be depended upon
to do things thoroughly and with strik-
ing results. In none of her strange
formations Is this more tangibly der.
onstrated than in the famous "HanginA
Lake" near Glenwood Springs. TniS
remarkable sight lies high up on the
slopes OF the canyon of the Colorado
Rfver-on theNery rim of the canyon
and attracts visitors from far and
near by reason OF its peculiar geo.
logical structure. AS seen by the
tourist, and as indicated in one of the
illustrations, this freak
or nature suggests nothing else so

Not in All Likelyhood the Easter Lily, But Prob
ablythe Gala Origin of Our Lilies of Easter
tide Trying to Grow the Bulbs in the u. S.
BY ERNEST BONN

XYm HAT were the "Iilles of the
field" OF which Jesus spoke
N which toll not, neither dc
V~ they spln?"
1t is popularity supposed that they
were of the kind which we call Easter
lilies; but there is good reason for be-
Aeving that this idea is not correct.
The original Easter lily was the
Madonna lily, known to the botanist
as Ltlium candidum. 1t is otherwise
called the "Annunciation Lily" be-
cause it is said to have been presented
to the Virgin Mary by the Angel of
the Annunciation. The incident is
depicted in one OF Murillo's most IA
nous paintings.
Jesus must have been familiar with
this lily. inasmuch as It was native to
Palestine and Syria Why, then, NAV
it not have been the flower to which
He referred?
Because 1t was not grown in fields
When cultivated in those days, it was
merely as a garden plant, SO far as
can be ascertained. There was at that
period no large-scale horticulture for
flowers such as is practiced NOWADAYS
to supply the market. One may see
fields of lilies in the Bermudas. but
there were surely none in ancient Pal
estine. The words used by Jesus sug-
gest the idea Of something commonly
to be seen in fields, as one would
speak OF onions or potatoes
If. then, Jesus was not speaking of
the Easter lily, to what kind of lily
did he refer?
Probably The Gala
The likelihood seems to be that He |
meant the Gala lily. which in that !
part of the world was grown in fields |

on very extensive scale, not for the
flowers but for food. The bulbs of the
Gala are good to eat. and were an
ciently nuch-este eemed vegetable in
the Levant. The same is true today;
and in Palestine at the present time
each season, great areas of swan1py
lands are gorgeous with the snowy
blooms of the calla- The Egyptians OF
old cultivated it in the same way, as
food plant. and their descendants
still continue to do so. Reproducing
itself by multiplication of its bulbs
underground, it grows SO thick that
the yield of a single acre is enorm-
GUS.
The Madonna lily has been grown
in European gardens for. many CEN
turies. But It is not the Easter lily

More than century age a Bermuda
sailor, returning from voyage to the
Far East, brought back with him from

variety. OF the bulbs which it yielded

and thus 1t came about that the

Pure Bred Chickens
To Be Given AS Prizes

Ten breeding pens of pure bred
chickens will be given away as door
prizes during the five days and nights
of the Baltimore Poultry Show, to be
held at the Fifth Regiment Armory,
December to s. Each ticket of adj
mission gives the bearer two chances
to obtain one of the two pens that
will be given away each night.
These pens have been donated by
fanciers interested in the Baltimore
Show, and the total value of the pens
will exceed $500. Each pen consists
of one male and four females.
From the flood of entries being re-
ceived, it is evident that Baltimore
will have the largest and finest ex-
hibit of prize poultry ever staged in
Maryland. Baltimore has gained the
reputation of being the proper place
to "try out" prospective birds for
Boston and New York.
1t is expected that nearly so pens
will be entered in the b. & o. Boys
ard Girls Club contest, which car
ries with it the largest cash prize of
fered in the show. This is $50 to de-
fray the expenses of the winner to
the Madison Square Garden Poultry
Show, in New York, in January.
