ALTERED BY fire
Destruction of Cathedral Led to
Great Changes.
Architects Work in Restoring Church
Left Scarcely Trace of Ancient
English Architectural Style.

"Will the destruction by fire during
the last year of the three oldest Cath
Ollie churches in Canada, ST. Anne de
Beau Pre-, the Trappist monastery at
Okla, and the Basilica at Quebec have
as much influence on the architecture
of present-dity Canada as the burning
of an English cathedral once had in
England?" asks Horace &. Cheney in
Cheney's Style Service.
How the destruction of single
building can influence a nations ar
chitecture is Il fact attested by his
tory; and the Canterbury cathedral
fire in LIZA provided a notable in
stance
"HopelesSly defaced by this great
conhagration, the cathedral presented
an important problem to rebuilding
skill, and William of Sens, French
architect was invited to England, that
he might reconstruct the beauty de
stroyed His hand sowed, then in
Britain a seed whose harvest spread
so greatly that toward the close of
the Thirteenth century scarcely trace
of ancient English architectural style
maintained itself in England.
French forms had become domi-
nant. Thenccforward, for Il space in
both countries, the early pointed arch
developed into the geometrical style,
and this in turn to the later decorated
style And France it was who always
led the way--a fact clearly illustrated
by the choir and transepts of lie Mans
cathedral 0@17-f254), the choir of
Amiens cathedral Q244-12SS), the
choir of Beauvais O225-1270)
all being of earlier period than Eng,
lish buildings of corresponding style
aod undoubtedly influencing them.
IN 1888 occurred yet another de-
termincr of architectural change The
Hundred Years war was ushered in
and England's troops, led by their SOW
ereign Edward Plantagenet, third of
his name, invaded France. Now this
invasion unquestionably had-through
the impressions formed in minds of
king and followers-notable reactions
upon England's structures. And these
Impressions were TO bear fruit, to
quote single instance, in the chapel
in the palace of WeStminster-the
magnificent conclusion of which the
st. Chapelle of Paris inspired Edward
to accomplish.

Tomb of Cyrus in Babylonia.

The tomb of Cyrus is in a remark
able ruin, in Il tOlerable state of pres
ervation, at Pasargadae in ancient
Babylona. 1t has been called "a
house upon pedestal" and consists
of pyramidal base constructed of
huge blocks of white marble, sur
mounted by a house of the same ma
te,ial covered with sloping stone
roof.
The interior consists of a small
chamber, ten feet long, seven feet
wide and eight feet high, entered by
a low and marrow door. There was
deposited in n golden coffin, the body
of the great conQueror.
Ii Is supposed that row of TWEEN
ty-four columns (some of whose brok-
en- shafts still remain) inclosed the

fin GIRLS FOB MOTHERHOOD
School of Homemaking In Detroit
Teaches Subjects Generally Ignored
by Schools and Colleges.

Detroit is perfecting the first great
school of motherhood in the country,
evolving science from the daily care
and scientific observation of children
and reducing that information to def
mite, concrete, teachable form, writes
Florence Davies in the Detroit News.
More individuals follow mother
hood, wifehood and homemaking as IA
vocation than any other occupation"
said Edna Noble White, director of
the MerrillPalmer school of home
making. Yet until very recently this
subject has been practically ignored
by schools and colleges.
Il do not refer to the domestic arts
and Sciences Miss White explained.
Much valuable work has been done
in that direction. But almost nothing
has been done to train women for
their most universal calling that of
motherhood"
The school is the result of the vision
of Mrs. Lizzie Merrill-Palmer, made
possible through large bequest left
by her in 1916.
1t was organized three years ago
with Miss White as director, but the
first two years of its existence We're
spent largely in research, preliminary
work and study.
just year ago the teaching method
took shape.
Instead of regulation school of
board of directors conceived the idea
of inaugluating in this country a nurs-
cry school where children could be
trained and where young women could
study them.

SAVED The: CROPS
Alberta Spent Haf-MIIlicn Dol
lars to Protect S82,OO0,0.0.
Governments Campaign Against the
Grasshoppers Nets Big Return
for the Farmers

The Province of Alberta spent more
than half million dollars in 1922 in
the destruction of grasshoppers, but
saved to the farmers of the province
approximately $29o00,0O0 worth OF
crop, according to returns received by
the Dominion Department of Agri"ul-
ture from municipal secretaries and
others. OF the tota cost Of $5l2.233, the
municipalities and local Improvement
districts are charged with $251, 900,
the provincial government bearing the
balance.
The success of the campaign forms
an outstanding example of the result
of organized and concentrated govern
ment, municipal and community effort
Not only government officials, but mu-
nlcipal authorities, farmers and even
the citizens of the towns and some of
the cities in the infested area, played
their part in winning victory over a
pest that threatened TO wipe out the
crop vegetation and rob the farmers
of the fruits of their labors.

became serious some years ago, but
aside from government efforts to edu-
cate the farmers in the matter of APP
plying poison bait, and to provide ma
terial at certain Centers, there was no
real or united effort To combat the
pest 1t was at the beginning of 49,
that the minister of agriculture and
his officials realized that IA combined
effort on the part of all concerned was
needed If the crops of a large portion
of the province were to be saved from
devastation. Alberta by this time had
begun to feel the effects of lack of ac-
ton in Montana, where infestation
was enormous, and from which large
flights into Alberta had taken place.
In order to combat this pest every
possible medium of education was util-
lied. Meetings were held, pamphlets
were issued and the newspapers gave
generously of their space. Scouts We're
appointed to see that infested areas
were poisoned, and the government
supplied the bait mixers and paid the
men VINO run lnelll, tht tosi pFi'N
charged against the district. The bait
used was II mixture of bran, sawdust,
salt, molaSseS and arsenic. 1t was
found TO be most effective when dp-
piled between the hours of s 30 and 10
in the morning, before the bait had
dried out under the sun, and during
the hours when the hoppers were feed

The "Noodus noises have been
heard again These noises come from
underneath the Haddam hills, low
ridge, near the iowa of Moodus Conn.
The noises have been described as
sounding like the "rattlipg of coaches
on the street." or the rumble of ldis-
tant artillery" The ground trembles
plates and dishes rattle in the pam
tries in Moodus, clock peEdulums
cease to wag, and the inhabitants OF
the town look at each other and won
der what the noises mean. They have
been heard from time to time ever
since the first white man came to
those parts. 1t seems as if giant

vanced to explain the phenomenon,

Debut" THAT is STRENUOUS
Doubtful Whether Washoe Indian
Maiden Can Really Enjoy Her
Formal "Coming-Out" Party.

The modern society" flapper, with
her coming-out party, has nothing on
the American Indian maiden, whose
marriage commencement party has
been among the tribal customs from
time immemorial.
Among the Washoe Indians of Ne
vada there is a dance or ceremony
known as 1.-THE girls dance" in honor
of the young girl who becomes eligible
for marriage. Her white cousin, how
ever, would hardly care to be the star
of such feast, for the guest of honor
is allowed to eat nothing at all for
four days previous.
On the fourth night the dance
starts, at about eight o'clock, and
continues until sunrise the following
morning. The Indians form a circle,
joining hands, and move by short side
steps in ring, humming sort of
chant without words or meaning. The
girl, accompanied by an older woman
as sort of chaperon, and carrying a
long staff to support her because of
the weakness induced by her long fast,
weaVes in and out of the dance, join
ing in the step.
AS the dance proceeds late into the
night the girls family gives money
and other possessions to the dancers
to keep them moving and to induce
others to join in. The greater the
number of dancers, the greater the
popularity of the family. Shortly after
midnight feast is given by the girls
relatives, and all participate.
The ceremony closes AT sunrise
when the girl is taken to her tepee
and attired in lunches of sagebrush,
in which money is concealed. She
appears before the assembled dancers
and throws the money to Them, amid
a wild scramble. A can Of water is
then dashed over her head as the con-
Guiding ceremony, after which she is
ready to receive Il proposal of mar
riage.
