far as the airport engineer knew
there wasn't stone on the island.
He flew to Miami to consult with
the chief engineer, leaving Cozu-
mel in charge of a native super
visor.
TWO weeks later, while he and
Il the chief engineer still were
trying to work out a solution, the
radio department handed him a
report from the Indian foreman
to the effect that the clearing was
done and "Surfacing of the run
ways is progressing" The next
plane was not too soon for him
as he sped back to Cozumel.
Yes, the Indian told him proud
ly, they had found lots of lovely
stones in the vegetation matted
mounds and they broke up
splendidly in the stone crusher. In
the "mounds?" The airport en-
gineer, Mortified, fastened to the
Maya temple he had uncovered.
Sure enough, blocks of stone
with hieroglyphics on the sides,
broken columns fashioned BY
skilled artisans of vanished civil
lization, grinning images of Magyar
godS-all were being ground in a
stone cruSher for an airplane run
way.
He put stop to that immedi-
ately. But, anyhow, it didn't take
much imported stone to finish the
job.

JOIN HANDS ON
MOUNTAIN TOP
u. S. Scientists Work Near
Monks at Egyptian
Observatory.
BY DAVID DIETZ,
Scripps-Howard Science Editor

Fifteen centuries have joined
hands upon the slopes of Mt. st.
Katherine, the peak near Mt. Sinai,
believed by many Biblical scholars
to be the mountain indicated in the
Biblical story of Moses, rather than
the mountain known today at Mt.
Sinai.
The Smithsonian institution has
just established a solar observatory
on Mt. st. Katherine, at which daily
observations will be made of the
amount of heat radiated by the sun
At present, the institution has two
other similar mountain observa-
tories. 1t hopes, by their work, to
solve the riddle of the connection
between variations in the solar ener-
gy and changes in terrestrial
weather.
The new observatories' nearest
neighbor and closest friends, accord
ing to a report from A. F. Moore,
Smithsonian scientist now at Mt. st.
Katherine are the monks of the ST.
Katherine monastery. This is the
oldest of all Christian monasteries
1t was established in the Fifth CEN
fury and has had an unbroken ira
dition ever since.
Drive Out Brigands
"The presence and hospitality of
these monks" Moore reports, "alone
made possible the establishment
and operation of the observatory.
1t is entirely due to them that the
desolate region is free from Bedouin
brigands. Moreover, they control
all the native labor in the vicinity.
They have constructed a trail up
Mt. st. Katherine which is truly a
marvel, we'll constructed and equal
to our best mountain trails On it
camels can proceed to a point only
$50 feet below the summit. Excel
lent stone steps complete the trail
to the top"
The main monastery is located
near the base of Mt. Sinai, which,
is not far from Mt. st. Katherine.
But the shrine is located upon the
summit of Mt. st. Katherine.
Show Deep Interest
Moore reports that the Smith
sonian scientists were welcomed
with open arms by the monks and
that the archbishop of the Greek
Orthodox church at Cairo also took
a deep interest in the plans for the
observatory.
Mt. st. Katherine is near the CEN
ter of the triangular mountainous
region forming the southern end of
the Sinai Peninsula.
The mountain, according to
Moore, towers above varicolored
mountains and chasms which sur
round it on all sides. On a clear
day the Smithsonian observers can
see the ships in the Gulf Of Suez
thirty miles away.
Location Is Ideal
To the south is the Red Sea, and
to the east the Gulf of Abaka, which
separate the Sinai peninsula from
Egypt.
The mountain towers $500 feet
above sea level. Moore reports that
there is little cloudiness on the
mountain top and that the observers
ought to get satisfactory measure
ments on about 80 per cent of the
days of the year.
The only difficulty is the forma-
ton of haze in the spring months
due to fine dust particles carried to
high attitudes from the sand storms
on the Sahara.
