Monks of Mount Athos
Form Large Community

Mount Athos Is a rocky promontory
stretching 40 miles out into the
Aegean sea. II is the home OF the
greatest monastic community In any
Christian land. Nearly 5000 monks
dwell in this republic. Athos and all
its buildings are owned by the 20 SOW
ereign monasteries of the orthodox
church that rule the peninsula. The
Greek governor generals relation to
the administration is that Of minis
ter plenipotentiary. In a thousand
years only one woman has set foot on
Athos She was the wife Of Lord
Stratford de Redcliffe. British minis

can war. and was permitted to land
there as a special favor to her hus-
band. Others claim to have been there.
but the authorities at AthOs deny their
assertions. According 10 tradition. the
first religious settlements were made
during the reign of Constantinople II
is known, however, that st. Athana-
sius established the great monastery
Of Lavra In $50 and 1t is still standing.

Matter of Orderliness
More Than Being 'sTidy"

II you talk to some folk about their
lack OF orderliness, they tell you, more
often than not, that they cannot be
bothered. Somehow they seem to love
their dIsarrays II is always odd to
see man happily doing his work In
the midst OF a pile OF disordered
papers.
1t Is all very well TO enjoy such I'M
tldiness; but 1t does not seem eco
nomlcal; in fact. 1t is surely a waste
Of two things: time and pleasure.
Time is, OF course, very important in
these days OF speed. and to the ma
jority of US the probability Is that
pleasure OF orderllness is Of second
Importance. am not so sure that II
Is not almost as important as the saw
ing of time We must not rule out OF
our consideration psychological values,
and that is what pleasure In work is
not only for ourselves. but for others
Disorderliness In a home, on the
bench or desk or table. is not pleas
ant to look upon. Besides, IL we are
orderly In our work. we shall be order
ly in our mind; that means more eff
fectiveness. and therefore greater sue
cess. We have no right to do any
thing. or have any method or lack Of
method, that retards progress.-"G. II.

Odd Beliefs Long Held
Concerning the Sneeze

The Greeks, when they ask for q
blessing upon those AFFLICTED by sneez-
ing, claimed to follow the example
Of Prometheus, who stole celestial
fire to animate the beautiful figure he
had made Of clay; as the fire perme-
ated its frame, the newly formed crea-
ture sneezed, and the delighted Pro-
metheus invoked blessings on It" Ac-
cording to Aristotle, the first man who
conceived the idea that the head was
the principal seat of the soul, re-
garded the sneeze with great respect
because It was the most manifest op-
Grafton of the head. Hence the COM
pliments of the Greeks and Romans,
Long may you live; may you enjoy
health"
Some rabbis explain the custom by
declaring that not long after the ere
alton, God made a general decree that
every man should sneeze but once,
whereupon his soul should depart
from his body without previous warn
Ing or indisposition. Jacob got the de
cree withdrawn so that man can sneeze
as often as he chooses without dan
ger. Therefore, whenever a man finds
himself still living after a good gusty
sneeze, people should express their
gratitude with q blessing.

Saved by Salt

One of the secret activities developed
toward the end Of the war was the
creation OF mine fields. One Of the
most important fields, go miles long
by IS wide, was laid down by Capt d.
Pratt Mannix and his associates. and
is described by him in a special ar
ticle for st. Nicholas Magazine. The
mine laying ships consisted only OF
storage space for the mines and deck
railway to drop them overheard One
mine (weighing 300 pounds), was
dropped and anchored every eight sec
onds. The only thing that prevented
(usuallyD an explosion from rough
handling was small cap Of COM
pressed salt which dissolved after half
an hours soaking In the ocean. and
left the mine ready for work Salt

Long Line of Caesars"
in Annals of Old Rome

Caesar was the surname Of a re-
nowned branch of a line of Roman
patrician generals with the forename
Julia. They claimed descent from the
sons Of Aeneas. the mythical IuIus.
Sextus Julius Cueser. a praetor in
206 p. c.. is the earliest by that name
to be mentioned In history. No direct
male descendant was left to bear the
name Of the great Julius Cnesar Oc-
tayius, whom he had adopted and who
later became the Emperor Augustus,
took the name. The name passed. also
through adoption. from Augustus to
his Immediate successors. Tiherius
and Callgula. The use Of the name
was continued by Claudius and Nero.
although they were not Julii. When
Nero was Killed the use Of Caesar
as 4 family maine was discontinued
and 1t became the title OF the reign
ing emperor. The title Caesar was
used later TO designate especially the
heir presumptive. although it con-
tinued to remain part of the imperial
title. 1t Is from the title Caesar that
those Of the former Russian czars and
German kaisers were derived.

Good Old Feather Bed
Not Entirely Obsolete

Although feather beds are seldom
seen in the cities, numbers Of them are
still in use in rural New England. par
ticularly among elderly persons, says
a writer In the New York Times Mag
azine In earlier days the feathers
Of wild geese were considered best for
stufing the ticking. with duck feathers
next. Both geese and ducks were
numerous, and farmers and their sons
found cunning profitable. There was
a ready market not only for the feath-
ers but for the bodies.
John Winter. in his account of ex-
penditures at Richmonds island,
(Malne), in 1889, mentions paying a
shilling each for geese, four pence for
ducks and two pence for teal. In
1910 a Maine gunner paid for farm
from the proceeds of the fowl he shot,
the greater part being derived from
the sale OF brant feathers. The arls-
tocracy demanded brant feathers for
their feather beds; probably not be-
cause they were better than goose
feathers, but because they were more
rare.

Peeuli.ri,ie, Of Concrete

The bureau of standards says that
concrete does not blow up. Concrete,
however, as well as practically every
other material. expands with an in
crease In temperature. On a very hot
day, under a sun. with no clouds In the
sky, concrete roads will become very
warm and expand to a considerable
extent. II means are not taken in the
design Of the road to accommodate
this expansion the road will "heave,"
as It is called. frequently breaking at
the point where 1t has been raised
In the air. The more cement that has
been used per unit volume of concrete
the greater will be the expansion.
Concrete also changes its volume due
to changes in water content Drying
out causes shrinkage and wetting
causes this expansion and contrac-
ton.

Birth Rate of Leaders
Found Below Average

Except under very favorable condl-
tions, such as that In royal families,
the successful sections Of society have
always tended to die out. Just now
our college graduates are easily dem
onstrated to be vanishing as a human
breed. From them have sprung near
ly three-fourths Of our leaders. and
in the future nearly all our leaders
will secure some form of higher in
struction.
In addition, DR.. Raymond Pearl of
Johns Hopkins has shown that all oc-
cupational classes, which he divides
into nine categories, are disappearing
as groups, owing to insufficient birth
rate. Only three classes. he finds. are
reproducing themselves, namely. the
farmers, factory workers and miners.
The other six, namely the profession
ais, clerical, trade, domestic service,
public service, and transportation
groups, are not maintaining them
selves.-Albert Edward Wiggam.

State Boundaries Long
Matter of Disputation

For great many years the boun-
Diary between the colony Of New York
and Massachusetts was in dispute. The
government Of New York maintained
that the eastern limit was the Con-
nectirut river. basing its claim upon q
Dutch title. The Massachusetts gov
eminent claimed territory westward as
far as the Hudson river For the pur-
pose Of establishing this claim the
Boston government in 1859 made a
grant uf land on the Hudson river
below Fort Orange and in 1872 sent
John Payne to New York to solicit
permission to pass and repass by wa
ter. He was most courteously re-
ceived, but the claim was never rec
ognized. The dispute finally reached
such n stage. resulting in riots. etc.
that II was submitted TO the lord
commissioners of trade Of England,
and George II In 1857. by royal order
In council. Determined lie boundary,
granting the Territory to New York.
This was still not acceptable until
1913. when commissioners from New
York and Massachusetts met and f.
nally decided the boundary according
to the present lines.

Test for Posture

An excellent test for correct pos
ture. says Marguerite Agniel in the
Parents Magazine, is to stand facing
the wall, placing the hands against
the wall in front Of the thighs so that
the palms point upward. Now notice
which part Of the body strikes the
wall first. If 1t is the chest, well and
good; II it is the head, 1t is not so
bad, but If the stomach touches first,
something is wrong. To attain correct
posture stretch the arms above the
head until the back is arched and the
chest high. Then with elbows pulled
all the way down. draw the hands
down to the shoulders. head back. Now
retaining the general position of the
body. return the hands to the sides
and you will find yourself standing
perfectly. Exercises for correcting bad
pasture include pushing up with the
arms from a reclining position and
raising the trunk from the same posi-
lion without lifting the feet.

Feared Census Taking

One Of the lettering factors in con-

WAS superstition. says an article In
he United States Daily.
In I712 Governor Hunter Of New
York attempted an enumeration. but II
was SO inaccurate that he apologized
10 the home government and said that
the inaccuracy was due to the super
stitlon among the people that sick
ness had followed the last enumera-
ton. Being so close to the New Eng

likened the enumeration to the sin
that David committed in numbering
the people, and they feared 1t might
