Legion of Honor Origin

The Legion or Honor, the famous
French order, was instituted by MAJ
poleon Bonaparte when he was first
consul, May 10, 1902. Although this
order confers honors upon distin-
guished civil servants of the state and
eminent benefactors of humanity 1t is
provided that ,three-fifths of all the
medals awarded must go to the Off
GERS and men of the army and navy.
During the World war thousands of
the medals OF the legion We're award
ed to soldiers and public servants
There are now five classes, the Grand
cross being the highest
Many American and British citizens
received the medal of the Legion of
Honor, and Immediately after the war
it was also conferred upon the mill
tary leaders of the allies of France.

come apparent that the city could not

80 many briefs as the cases indicate.
AS matter of fact, the brief case

Tibetan Church Music
Charmed SUen HediN

DR.. Sven Hedin, the Swedish ex-
plorer, who was the first white man
to penetrate into the interior Of Tibet,
has excited the curiosity of musicians
by his extravagant praise of the
church music of that mysterious coun-
try. He claims that he has visited
no fewer than 81 temples in the land
of the Grand Lama, and that he found
the music of the temple service" to
be so beautiful that he was spiritual
ly transported by 1t to regions super
nal. He writes: "All through Tibet
the life of these monks has appealed
to me and filed me with delight be-
yond anything l can say The most
delightful thing in all Tibet is the
church music Fresh young voices,
softened by thick, dark draperies
along the front of an open gallery,
pour forth their wonderful hymns,
full Of peace and love and longing.
Between whites you hear the rumble
of thunder of the bassoons and the
rhythmical clash of the cymbals !;
then the flutes with their shrill mel
odies and the rolling drums, which
echo through the high halls of the
temples. But the singing is by far the
most beautiful; 1t carries one up and
away from the troubles of this EARTH"

Constitution.

The principle of the entasis, which
is a swelling or outward curve of the
pillar, is utilized to avoid appearance
of concavity in it's middle portion. In
the finest examples of Greek Doric the
swelling is little below the middle
point of the shaft, but never so great
as to interfere with the steady diminu-
ton of the shaft from the base up
ward. The entasis is designed partly
to counterfeit the optical Illusion which
would cause the profiles of the shaft
to appear curved inward If they were
bounded by straight lines. The entasis
Is almost invariably introduced in the
spires of English churches.

UNDERGROUND CAVE
REAL WONDERLAND
Cavern of Rare Beauty in
New Mexico.

An underground wonderland, sur
passing In size sublimity and beauty
anything Of the kind hitherto known,
has been discovered by DR.. Willis L.
Lee, who has just returned to Wash
ington after a summer spent In sur
veying and mapping a portion OF the
caverns which run under the Guada-
lupe mountains, near Carlsbad, N. M.
Doctor Lee and his associates, work.
ing under the auspices of the National
Geographic society, traced the ramlh-
cations of the main cavern, an under
ground avenue about half mile wide,
for two miles under the mountains.
How much farther it extends Is not
known.
A great number of the smaller ave-
nues branch off. No attempt was made
to follow these There is every indi-
cation, Doctor Lee said, that the dis
covery of the Carlsbad cavern Is just
start Of the wonders which further
exploration Of the Guadalupe noun
tain region in southeastern New Mex
leo and western Texas will disclose.
Texas has already taken steps to set
aside her section as a state park. 1t
Is probable that the mountains are
honeycombed with subterranean re-
cesses, Doctor Lee said.
The most striking feature of the
Carlsbad cavern Is the extreme deli
cacy Of the architecture Of the stall
actites and stalagmites In the man.
moth chambers. All sorts Of fantastic,
onyx marble.
Doctor Lee found the caverns Of
Guadalupe mountains the home Of a
prehistoric civilization. Two skeletons
have been sent to the Smithsonian In
stftution for Identification. Other
skeletons, buried in baskets, were
found on shelves In the walls.
The people who inhabited the caves
are believed to have been close rela-
lives of the basket-weaving people
farther west. The caverns are a geo.
logical and biological treasure house
blind crickets and worms and spiders
of hitherto unknown Species
Entrance to the cavern now is very
difficult. 1t is necessary to climb 1000
feet up a mountalnside and then go
down through a hole in the roof in a
guano bucket for ITO feet A walk Of
about two miles is then necessary over
very difficult flooring before the end
of the main cavern is reached.
The avenue leads downward through
great chamber after chamber, until
one is 800 feet below the surface Of
the earth outside. At this point the
avenue drops off abruptly 90 feet. This
has to be negotiated with Wire lad
der. Mr.. Lee explored a series Of
basement chambers never before seen
by human eye.
The cavern is in dense darkness
The temperature remains all the time
at Sc degrees Fahrenheit.
