NUMB. K YEARLY every cathedral in the M Old World has been used at some
 time as jumping off place for suicides. The great heights of such structures offer a surer death than the usually low European dwellings and public buildings.
 It was remarkable, therefore, that until recently St. Peters Basilica, in Vatican City, had never been the scene of such an unfortunate occurrence since its erection more than three cen- turies ago.
 But the other day one of the many pilgrims who visit the edifice jumped to his death after making his way to the cupola. Why he climbed to the top of the great dome and then plunged 400 feet to the ground provides a strange and tragic story. But even more curious was the manner of his fall. For after jumping from the cupola window he bounced against the dome that stretched out below him and then ricochetted to the pavement below. The pilgrim was Marcello Nitrati, thiry-three, of the town of Cortena. According to the story that is being told here, Nitrati was in love with 2

girl who lives in the Italian capital. He had come here purposely to see her and in the hope of winning her hand in marriage.
 But when she turned him down he became grief-Stricken. His friends noticed that he was Respondent and talked wildly of suicide. Then one day he joined many others in a pill grimage to St. Peters Basilica. When he decided to make the ascent to the top of the dome no one suspected any thing wrong.
 Indeed, thousands of visitors to Rome make the pilgrimage to St. Peters every year. They come, not only for religious reasons but also to see the artistically and historically fa- nous structure. This bears the handi- work of the famous sculptors, Bramante and Michelangelo.
 Pope Constantine founded St. Peters in the fourth century but its reconstruction was not begun until 1906 by Bramante. In 1546 the great sculptor, Michelangelo, was summoned by Pope Paul III to complete Bra nantes work.
 Michelangelo's greatest achievement, so far as St. Peters is concerned, is the design for the beautiful dome. Within it may be found his brilliant

mosaics which adorn all the interior of the Basilica. The dome, as he con- ceived it, is also enlivened with many small cupolas and few guards houses. There he placed four imposing statues which stand intact to this day.
 To reach the famous dome of St. Peters used to require a good deal of climbing. From the body of the church only a narrow flight of stairs, with a slim handrail as support, led up to the top of the dome. Today, however, an

 But Magda's achievement gave many other Hungarian amateur girl swim mers q jealous fright. A clique of them, in training for the 1882 Olym- piad. decided they didn't want new corners.
 So at the next contest not one of the clique appeared. The girls said they wouldn't swim races with Mazda because she was a professional. A circus artist can't be an amateur swim mer, the kirls said. But the press and public took sides with pretty, fun.lov- ing Mazda,
 Then the Swimming Association took up the matter and decreed that Mazda was as good an amateur as the rest. The conspiring competitors were sen fenced to one months abstinence from training on the charge of false accusa- tions against a fellow team member.
 During that month Mazda caught up

elevator is in operation there. The various guards usually allow all visi- tors to go to the cupola, at the top of the dome, without question. That was how Pilgrim Nitrati got up there so easily.
 For time he sat on the sill of one of the small windows in the cupola. A dome guardian approached him and asked what he was doing there. Nitrati's simple answer was that he was looking at the scenery-for it is true that from such vantage point one gets a fine panorama of the city.
 T am going away soon," Mar cello Nitrati added, but the guard v thought nothing of this at the time. The moment that the guard turned away, H however, Nitrati leaped VI through the window. Yet he did not fall directly to the street.
 Ordinarily the sloping dome, spreading out before him, would have broken his fall, so that he might have rolled down to the N roof of, the church. But when Marcello Nitrati jumped from the cupola he landed on the dome with such force that his body bounded far out from the struc- ture and crashed into the street.
 Henceforth it is likely that ) persons going to the dome will be watched - and questioned closely.

But now that he was so near the en-

So Whitefoot curled up in his bed
and In no time at all he was fast asleep.
Meanwhile, Peter Rabbit had found
Chatterer the Red Squirrel and had

never will be smart enough to fool me"

Chatterer turned his back to Sammy
and pretended not to hear him. Peter

Winter Food Bills Can Be
Materially Reduced by Put
ting Up Fruit Now

One cannot go to market these
days without being reminded that
this is the year to make jellies,
jams and preserves. Luscious fruit
is in abundance and cheap every
where, and pure cane sugar - the
best to be had offered at an
unheardrof low price.
The woman who puts up dozen
jars of fruit or few glasses of
jelly and jam will be surprised at
how little they cost her. But the
real saving will be noticed later
when these delicious homemade
preserves make it unnecessary to
buy others.
AS a means of making menus at
tractive, there are few foods more
helpful than jellies, jams and pre-
serves. For children, canned fruit
is a most desirable breakfast dish
or dessert.
Sweet pickles and relishes made
Of cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage or
melon rind are also easy and mex
pensive to put up. When served
with meat and fish the combination
is delicious. Good food promotes
