Cathedral of Antwerp Is
Tribute to the Faithful

The Cathedral of Antwerp, dedi-
Gated to Our Lady and known as
Notre Dame, is one Of the finest
Gothic buildings in Europe and one
of the most ma gnificent and famous
churches of Christendom. About the
year 1852, writes an Antwerp cor
respondent in the New York Her
aid Tribune, the population Of Ant
werp undertook the construction Of
the Church Of Notre Dame, known
later as the Cathedral Of Antwerp,
and laid the foundations Of the
choir. Without knowing if ever the
building would be completed, wor-
shippers were put to work, guided by
their profound faith that their de-
scendants might finish the structure.
The choir was not even terminated
in 1406 and the tower was COM
pleted 200 years later. The construc-
ton of the tower was begun in 1882
and completed in 1925. The central
nave with its small chapelS, the
chapter house and the sacristy from
1852 to 1920. The interior is divided
in seven naves and $50 arches sup
ported by 125 columns.
The cathedral contains many art
treasures, including three master
pieces of Rubens, '"The Descent
From the Cross" 1.-THE Raising Of
the Cross" and "The Assumption Of
the Virgin"

CROWD AT UNION PICNIC

The Union picnic, sponsored by
Twin City churches at Minnehaha
Park, Minneapolis, July 81, was
favored with much of the spirit of
former years.
A large crowd from both of the
Twins" enjoyed the beautiful
weather and the social contacts
that for many occur only this once
each year.
The young people overfowed the
park, spent their nickels at the
candy booth and wound up at the
free show staged by the park COM
missioners. The older folks dined
and gossiped and only a few were
able to crowd into the ice cream
line that the children kept full until
the delicacy was exhausted.

History of Coined Money
Dates to About 900 B. G.

The selection of gold and silver for
the principal monetary purposes
was due to their adaptability. In ad-
dition to their being desirable, OBJ
serves writer in the Indianapolis
News, they possess the following
qualities demonstrated to be requi-
site to just and equitable medium
Of value: Relative scarcity, porta-
bi1ity Containing large values in a
small bulk), durability. homogeneity
Cor uniformity, divisibility (capa-
BILE of being divided into small parts
and again united without apprecia-
BILE loss).
The use Of the metals as money
by weight proved cumbersome
process, and coming device was
introduced, probably by the Greeks
about 900 B. C. The bank check
came into use as means Of saving
the transfer of coined money. The
bank note is an evolution of these
preceding forms, being a promise
of the bank to pay the specified
amount on demand. The Bank Of
Sweden is credited with having first
issued this form of money in 1858.
The scarcity Of gold and silver, the
need of bills Of exchange and Of
money more convenient to carry,
and the issuance of government
credits forced on bankruptcy ma
tons brought about the use Of paper
money in European countries. Co.
lonial America early adopted this
medium of exchange from the Eng
hsh.
Paper money in America first was
issued by Massachusetts in 1890.
The object was not to supply any
supposed lack Of a medium for
trade, but to satisfy the demands Of
some clamorous soldiers. The first
issue Of money under authority Of
the Continental congress was dated
May 10, ITS, but not placed in cir
culation until the following August.

Amber Is Petriaed Gum

Amber is q light translucent SUBJ
stance, pale yellow or brownish in
color. It is the petrif1ed gum Of
trees Of the pine family. It is usu-
ally found washed up on the shores
Of certain seas. such as the Baltic,
Adr3atic, and China. In most cases,
1t appears In rounded humps up to
ten pounds in weight. The use Of
amber for ornaments is very old,
being traced back to the Stone age.
Amber beads, ETC., have been found
In prehistoric remains In Switzer-
land, Egypt and Assyria. The Greek
name for amber was "Elektron,"
from which we got our word "Elec-
tricity," as amber becomes electri-
fed when rubbed. Insects. such
as flies. are often found in humps
Of amber; they got entangled in the
gum and became foSsilized with it.

S EARCH
By LANGSTON Hughes

All life is but the climbing of hill
To seek the sun that ranges far beyond
Confused with stars and lesser lights anon,
And planets where the darkness reigneth still.
ALI life is but the seeking for that sun
That never lets one living atom die
That flames beyond the circles of the eye
Where Never and Forever are as one.
And seeking always through this human span
That spreads its drift of years beneath the sky
Confused with living, goeth simple man
Unlnowing and unknown into the Why
The Why that filings itself beyond the Sun
And back in space to where Time was begun.

Reindeer In Alaska

Unlike the American caribou,
which they resemble, reindeer are
not native to Alaska. They were
imported some years ago because
Of the slaughter Of whales and seals,
the Eskimos' food. Reindeer were
chosen to be the natives "cattle"
for they have long made possible
the existence Of the Lap1anders in
northern Europe and Siberia. These
hardy people drink reindeer milk,
eat the flesh, clothe themselves with
the skins, use the beasts as pack
animals. Laplanders accompanied
the first herds to Alaska to teach
Eskimos how to care for them, but
after while the reindeer were left
to shift for themselves.
