Bard by St. Anthony's chapel `the torch of the guide illuminates a magnicent shrine and archway hewn in one of the passages. Again, as we move along, we see gures of saints in attitude of prayer and a few minor rooms which we pass hurriedly through bear the names of mar- tyrs. The queen s chapel, with its mag- nicent altar, carved with expert skill in, solid salt, contains on one of its sides a view of Bethlehem. As we turn `from it the beautiful chandelier in. the `chapel catches our eye and makes us marvel that such a delicate conception with so many pendant chains of white should have so long resisted the wear and tear of Qme. When illuminated, as it often is," the chan- , delier, with its myriad lights, is indeed i beautiful to see. , mu, _ .:-_.-..._4. 1......

In the `interior a salt chandelier of 800 lights gieams brilliantly on the rugged sides of. this imposing room.

As we steamed slowly round the berg he came into view again, a beautiful white animal with con- trasting black "nose, moving leisurely along the surface of the iceberg. The cap- tain and I both chanced a shot at himpat long range, and the captain's bullet grazed his hind leg, making himwhirl and snap savagely at the wound. Then he galloped awkwardlyaway and disappeared round a pinnacle of the berg. Circling the berg again, we discovered` him in the vwater swimming vigorously, and several shots l were red at him, one of which took eect, andhe apparently collapsed completely, yet a few moments later he was swimming o . again, and it was only after I had a boat lowered that he was secured. fI'IL _ A.__. 41 LI_l.. -...8....;.I --...u an noun`-`Anni: IUVVUIUU until: no wan ucvuavu.

Professor W. J. McGee declares that two slow but interesting changes are taking ` place in Bering sea. -The immense quan- tity of debris that is borne down the Yu- ~-kon river from its sources and sides is be- ingvdeposited in the sea beyond the mouth of that mighty stream, and its weight causes the bed of the sea to subside. A corresponding rise in the earth's crust is produced along the chain of the Aleutian islands, Now, not only are the islands themselves increasing in size in conse- quence ot being lifted up out of the water, but new islands are beingformed in the gaps between the others. In some in- stances the new islands are the result of - the rise and in others they are the product of volcanic action. Most of the Alentians are of volcanic origin, and they mark the . position of a fold in the ea:-th s.crust that is predisposed to eruption. In time, Profess- or McGeo says, there is likely to be a nat- ural bridge from America to Asia along this route, but he admits that nobody now ` living is going to see.it.-New York Trib- nu-an 4 Church Finances.
