MODERN GAVE DWELLERS
IN ASIA MINOR CITY
Natives of Cappadocia Are Still, to
All Intents and Purposes,
Troglodytes.
—————
WONDERFUL CONE DWELLINGS
There Are at Least 50,000, Says a
Traveler, and Some Have
Nine Stories,
—— ms
J. R. Stillington Sterrett has written
an instructive article for the Illus-
trated Londou News on the cave
dwellers of Cappadocia. From an
American standpoint the article is in-
teresting because of the fact that there
is an organization in this country
known as the Colorado Clift Dwellings
+ Assoclation, whose object is to protect
and preserve the historical cliff dwell
ings in Colorado,
It is in Cappadocia, Asia Minor, Mr.
Sterrett says, that th® real twentieth
century Troglodytes (cave dwellers)
are to be found. The whole cave
dwelling region of Cappadocia, he
says, is of volcanic formation, com-
posed of a deep layer of pumice stone,
tufa or peperine, overlaid in some
places by rugged lava fields. The pum-
ice or tufa is of incredible thickness,
but the overlaid layer of lava is com-
paratively thin, and so soft that it can
be dug away with the thumb nail.
The caves are formed in cones, ex-
tending in height from fifty to 300 feet.
The tallest cones usually stand in the
centre of an eroded valley, Mr. Sterrett
says. Many of them are in process of
disintegration, and in some the exter-
ior walls have been worn away to such
an extent that the inner chambers are
visible from the outside. Such exposed
chambers, if they lie fairly toward the
sun, are used for drying grapes and
other fruits.
Mr. Sterrett says there are easily 50,-
000 of these cone caves in Cappadocia.
The caves were bored out with com-
paratively little trouble. One chamber,
twenty - five feet long, thirteen feet
broad and ten feet high, was exca-
vated by a single workman in the
short space of thirty days.
The cave dwellers of Cappadocia
have gone to some pains, Mr. Sterrett
says, to ornament and give an ecrchi-
tectural and decorative effect to the
caves which they make their abode.
Especially have they given free play
to their architectural imagination in
the laying out of their churches, chap-
els and temples. Some elaborate ef-
fects have been produced.
Mr. Sterrett gives an entertaining de-
scription of the manner in which the
abodes of the cave dwellers of Cappa-
docia have been laid out. On entering
the doorway of any of these cone
dwellings, he says, the visitor finds
himself within a spacious chamber,
about the walls of which shelves and
niches for the storage of small house-
hold effects have been cut into the
stone. The stairways leading to the
upper stories are like wells or rounded
chimneys and the ascent from the
" lower to tb upper stories is made by
means of inéider holes cut into the rock.
The floors between the stories are
usually thick enough to sustain any
weight that might be put upon them,
but occasionally the excavators mis-
calculated the thickness of a stone
floor, with the result that they had to
cut out one .ofty chamber where they
bad intended to make two.
As many as nine stories are to be
found in a single cone, Mr. Sterrett
says, but the usual number is two,
three or four stories. The number of
stories can always be indicated by the
windows. The cave dwellers utilize
their windows as dove cotes for
pigeons, hosts of which flock to the
places provided for them. The natives
«eat the eggs and flesh of the birds.
Mr. Ste:rett contributes this com-
ment on the habits of life of these
modern cave dwellers:
“The natives of this region are still,
to all intents and purposes, Troglo-
dytes, but if we leave out of considera-
tion the fact that their Cwellings are
at least partially under ground, they
differ in habits and customs in no
whit from the ordinary Turkish villas
avith ordinary humdrum surroundings.”
Myr, Sterrett gives this description of
some of the modern cave dwellings:
“Sometimes the front of the house is
built of blocks of pumice stone, while
all the rest of the abode is subterran-
ean, the cone of cliff being used as an
annex, but in most cases a modern
dwelling is excavated, not in a cone,
but in the face of the bluff, and thus
becomes a cliff dwelling, properly so
called. This is true of the business
street of the town of Urgub, where the
front or facade opening on the street
is the only room in the dwelling into
which the light comes. The other
rooms are in midnight darkness all the
year round. The owner of such an
abode can extend his dwelling indefi-
nitely into the bowels of the earth and
no one need know aught of his en-
larged residence, a feature which is
not without its advantages in a land
where the wise man conceals the fact
that he is wealthy. The interior cham-
bers are used chiefly for granaries and
storage. Even their chaff, which is
made to take the place of our hay, is
safely stowed away in these dry and
dark chambers. In passing along the
main street of Urgub the superficial
observer will not detect the slightest
indication that he is in the presence of
Troglodyte dwellings, though he may
quickly convince himself that such is
the fact, The upland or plateau level
of this region abounds in humwmocks,
hills and lofty pinnacles and they are
all used in the background against
which modern dwellings are built. It
may even happen, as in the case of the
palace or castle of Ud), that the house
of the owner of a vineyard is actually
beneath the vineyard Itself.”
The soll of the Troglodyte region is
fertile and produces in abundance veg-
etables and fruit. Apricots of superb
quality are grown there. Mr. Sterrett
says it has been asserted by one of the
old travelers that the Troglodyte re-
gion is the original home of the apricot,
“Garden and desert,” says Mr, Ster-
rett, “are often close neighbors, for
the reason that the garden flourishes
wherever the stone has rotted |
ciently, whereas the adjacent, but
naked and unrotted stone is the most |
barren of deserts.”
Many of the cones inhabited by the
Troglodytes, . Mr. Sterrett says, are |
mere shells honeycombed with cham- |
bers. There is one ancient castle that
is filled from the base to the pinnacle |
with chambers,
Mr. Sterrett contributes an interest-
ing word or two about the piaces of |
worship of the modern cave dwellers
of Cappadocia. In the chapels, he
says, are still many paintings of Greek
saints named in the inscriptions,
In the floors of some of the chapels
graves are cut and in some of them
human skeletons still may be seen. In
fact, graves have been found frequent-
ly in the dwellings, and there are evi-
dences that the cave dwellers lived in
the same rooms with their pigeons and
their dead.
The date rf the origin of the cave
dwellings of Cappadocia is in doubt.
They are ancient enough for Cicero to
have made mention of them, and it has
been asscrted that the cone cnves of
Cappadocia were inhabited as early as
1900 B. C.—Brooklyn Eagle.
Highest Railroad Bridge.
A notable engineering work is now
being executed in France, and involves
the construction of a viaduct crossing
the Sioule Valley near Vauriat, This
structure, known as the Fades Via-
duct, when completed will be the high-
est railway bridge in the world, the
level of the rails being 434 feet 7 Inches
above the bed of the stream. There are
two granite masonry tower piers
that are founded on solid rock and rise
to a height of 303 feet. These piers,
standing alone, have the appearance
of large chimneys, but, says Harper's
Weekly, their function is to support the
three steel spans which have the un-
usual lengths of 472 feet 5 inches for
the cenire span and 378 feet for each
of the flanking spans. The latter con-
nect with masonry approach spans
formed by circular arches, This bridge
differs from other structures in the use
of masonry instead of steel for the cen
tre towers, and tae use of lattice girder
deck spans instead of the arch con-
struction of either masonry or steel,
a favorite method of crossing such a
valley.
Ought to Have Known the Rules.
Marshall P. Wilder says that the
small son of a friend in Brooklyn came
home one day with a badly disfigured
face. The “old man” took him aside
for the usual heart-to-heart talk.
“What have you been up to now?”
asked he.
“Fightin’,” answered the lad sullenly.
“And after all I've said to you about
fighting!”
“He smashed me on the cheek.”
“How often have I told you that the
Good Book bids us turn the other
cheek 2?”
“I did, dad—honest; but he smashed
me on the nose. I call that a foul; so
pitched in and licked the stuffin’ out of
him. Dad, he’s been to Sunday-school
just as much as I have, and he ought |
to have known the rules!”—Philadel-
phia Record.
Couldn’t Think of His First Name.
In the grammar department of one
of our public schools the teacher, after
talking with her class on the subject of
mythology, read to them as follows:
“Vulcan, smith, architect and charoit |
builder for the gods of Mt. Olympus, |
built their houses, constructed their
furniture,” etc. The following day the |
subject of the preceding day was given
as a language lesson, and, as no men-
tion was made of Vulcan, the teacher
asked the class who built the houses |
for the gods of Mt. Olympus. For a
while the children seemed to be lost in |
deep thought, when suddenly a gleam !
of intelligence illuminated the face of
one little girl, and she replied:
“I can’t think of his first name, but
his name is.Smith.”—Magazine of Fun,
Is a Tooth Property?
It is well known: jhat a corpse is not
property, but what about an extracted
tooth? So far as we know the point
has nct arisen in the courts of this,
country, At Gera, in G-rmany, how-
ever, it has just been decided that the
tooth still belongs to the man after it
has left his jaw. The dentist contended
that a tcotn evicted from occupancy !
with the full consent of its landlord
became ownerless and derelict, and as
the particular tcoth ‘n question was
curiously shaped he proposed to keep
it. But the patient also wished to
have it. And the patient won.—Pall
Mall Gaz:tte.
The Unkindest Ct.
Brooklyn has had a good many hard
things said about it in the past, but
the saddest blow of all fell last week,
when a young man who lives in that |
borough invited a girl to go to dinner
with him in Manhattan. After they
had settled on the other details of the
time and place of dining she asked
him where they should meet.
“At the American end of the bridge,”
he replied. —New York Press.

change slowly and the roads are good,
bicycle manufacturers are still doing a,
good business.

«Matters
To Air the Room.
To properly air a room, open the win-
dow at the top and bottom, The reason
for this is to allow impure air, which
always rises, to escape at the top, while
the cool, fresh air will come in at the
bottom from outside.
Tobacco Smells.
The unpleasant smell of tobacco
clinging to curtains and furniture may
be dispelled by sprinkling ground cof-
fee on a shovel, setting it alight, and
carrying the latter about the “oom.
Coffee fumes are, in all cases, admira-
ble as disinfectants,
About Egg Bolling.
Many people boil eggs to their liking
by placing the eggs in cold water,
which is allowed to come to the boiling
point. One housekeeper at least uses
the same method for poached eggs,
taking them from the almost boiling
water perfectly cooked,
On Removing Slains,
Every housekeeper should remember
that soap is an alkali and sets vege-
table and other stains. Therefore, all
stains shouid be removed before the
articles are put in a washtub. The
sooner the stain is treated the more
readily it will yield to the treatment.
Pour boiling water through fruit stains.
Where obstinate, soak in a solution of
oxalic acid. Wash vaseline stains in
alcohol; paint in turpentine, kerosene
or alcohol; varnish, in alcohol; grass
or other green vegetable stains in ai-
cohol, kerosene or molasses. For stains
from blood, meat juice and white of
egg use cold water.
In the case of milk, cream, sugar or
sirup stains soak in cold water and
wash with soap and water. Tar, wheel
grease or machine oil stains should be
rubbed with lard and allowed to stand
a few minutes. Then they should be
washed with soap and cold water. Tea,
coffee or cocoa stains should be re-
moved with boiling water; if obstinate,
with a weak solution of oxalic acid.
Use oxalic acid for iron rust spots, and
for ink stains use lemon juice and salt;
then hang in the sun. If the ink does
not disappear at first, repeat the opera-
tion until it does. When oxalic acid is
used care must be taken that the arti-
cle is thoroughly rinsed to remove
every particle of acid. When boiling
water is used, stretch the stained parts
over the bowl and pour absolutely boil-
ing water from a hight until the stain
disappears. Be careful that the boiling
water does not touch any silk embroid-
delicate
ery or other colors.—New
Haven Register.
Myrtle Soup—Fry three chopped
onions in a little beef dripping until
they are a golden brown; stir in one-
fourth of a pound of ground oatmeal;
fry that brown; add one quart of
water, a half dozen potatoes cut in
thin slices; salt and pepper and boil
until the potatoes are soft, then strain,
set on the stove again to boil for five
minutes and serve.
Plain Marlboro Pie—Into two cups
of sifted apple sauce, stir while hot
two tablespoonfuls of butter. Beat the
yolks of two eggs; add one cup sugar;
one-half of the grated rind and all the
juice of one lemon. Mix this with the
apple. Cover plate with a rich crust;
turn in the mixture and bake about
half an hour in a moderate oven. Cover
with meringue or whipped cream, or
put a top crust on.
Half Moons—Four eggs,
of powdered sugar, one cupful of rice
flour, one teaspoonful of vanilla and
the juice and rind of one lemon. Beat
the butter to a cream, then add the
sugar gradually, beating all the while.
then add the whites beaten to a stiff
froth, and, gradually, the rice flour.
Flavor, beat until fine and light, and
pour into small patty pans, which have
been well buttered. Bake in a mod-
erate oven for twenty minutes.
Baked Squash-—-Baked squash

to have drawn breath enough to make
any sound whatever. Then I remem-

barks of fright than screams of pain.
Somewhat wonderingly, therefore, I set
the trap again, to see if there was a
companion. Within five minutes it
nailed another. There was no sound

WORDS OF WISDOM.
O what a power hath white simplic-
ity.—John Keats.
The right-of-way does not always
mean the way that is oppressive.
Man looketh on the outward appear-
ance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
—Bible.
Michael Angelo once said: Bring me

imprisoned ‘in it.”
Some flowers and herbs that grow

and healthful use.—Robert Leighton.
The only ambition worthy of an im-
poortal soul is the ambition to realize

Howard A. Johnston.
Do not despise any opportunity be-
cause it seems small. The way to
make an opportunity grow is to take
hold of it and use it.—Bacon.
For the man to whom our natural in-
telligence is equal to the soul's neces-
sity for finding God there is no lack of
revelation. The universe is full of
visions and of voices.—~Tohn White
Chadwick.
We cannot educate our grandmother,
we say; but there are grandmothers
whom we can educate. The children
of to-day are the grandmothers of the
future; we can educate them.—Alice
Wellington Rollins.
He that loveth a book will never
want a faithful friend, a wholesome
counsellor, a cheerful companion, an in-
tellectual comforter. By study, by
reading, by thinking, one may inno-
cently divert and pleasantly entertain
himself, as in all weathers, so in all
fortunes.—Isaac Barrow.
To feel the eternal in the passing mo-
ment, to catch the rustle of God's gar-
ment now, not to be burdened with a
vain regret, not to be peering forward
through the curtain; all that, with the
open eye and feeling heart, is to be
childike. And of such is the kingdom
of Heaven.—G. H. Morrison.
A Matter of Titles.
A story is going the rounds of legal
circles at the expense of the late Gen-
eral W. H. L. Barnes, and it is receiv-
ing considerable impetus in its travels
through the efforts of William 8S.

of his distinguished sire.
General Barnes was trying a civil
suit, and persisted in referring to the
opposing counsel at “Judge.” The op-
posing counsel was an elderly and dig-
nified Southern gentleman, who dis-
liked to be characterized by a title he
did not possess, and rising to his feet,
he said:
“If the Court please, I am not a
Judge, have ‘never: been a Judge, and

spoonful of melted butter. Let the
mixture boil up once, add a cup of

General Barnes persisted in the use
of the title, however, and again he po-
litely protested. Once more Barnes
caused a chuckle to go around by re-
ferring to the opposing counsel as
“Judge,” and for a third time the latter
rose to protest.
“If the Court please,” he said, “for
the third and last time I desire to in-
form counsel that the title of ‘Judge’ is
one that I have never carned and do
not possess, and if counsel persists in
giving me the title, I shall be prompted
to retort by referring to him as ‘Gen-
eral’ "—San Francisco Chronicle.

Suicide and Women
“Women as they become more highly

themselves .or love,
“But now, being educ:ted, they live
like men. Like men they write, paint,
build, run groceries, drug stores, bro-
kerages, And like men they commit

“They committed suicide in the past
from love alone, but now from disap-
pointed ambition, from loss of money,
from a book’s failure, from a fall in
stocks, from a rise in drugs.
