One of the most curious scenes mi the
Ihessalian frontier is to faefotmd as
KalifaaJd, some 50 railes by rail above
Trfkhnla. The town lies on a plain
which is hacked by the extraordinary
rGoks of Meteors, rising precipitously
to a great height and commanding the
marked attention of travelers. In places
the cliffs ascend like a -wall to a height
of 2r000 feet. They are rough, free
from verdure and disfigured "by innu- j
mcrable holes and caves all over their
face. i
It is these cares and remains of monk-1
ish dvreHings in them that give the
recks of ileteora the strange, almost
.prehistoric appearance that has made
them famous.
There are several monasteries at
KalibakL The largess is St. Stephen's.
Unlike the other monasteries, this is
ranched by a drawbridge thrown across
a yawning chasm. This is one of the
largest of the monasteries of Aletecra
and has a guest chamber especially fls-,
ted up f gt visitors that is to say, there
are three iron beds in it, and it is only
courteous to surmise that the wadded
coverlei and single sheet that go to
make up a Greek bed once were new. j
The hegounjeaos is most hospitable.
-He gives his visiters excellent monastic
wine, a dinner of many weird courses
and is himself very gcod company. As
usual, there are two churches in this
monastery,, the smaller of the two pes-:
sessing some very fair ikons Eet in
beautifully carved frames, and one very
old picture, dated 387. j
The hjrge church consists of a nave,
antecbapeL with the body of the efenrcfe
under the dome, which is decorated
with the usual half length figure of,
Christ. Here are seen some of the in
laid ivory and mother of pearl stools
and lectures which at one time were the
stapie work of the .lleteora monks.
All the manuscripts of any value have
been removed to Athens. A long build-,
lag at the right of the bridge coetains '
tba cells of the mocks, which open into
& dark covered corridor. In time of war
these monasteries are used as places of
refuge. I
Not the least curious feature of these j
mtique recks of Meteors are the holes '
SBd caves which literally pepper the
fas of the cliffs in places. ;
In many cases these retreats of the
hermits cf St. Anthony are merely
cagesr At a distance they look, some of
sbem, like big birdcages huag up
against the face of the cliff. As dwell
ings they ace all exceedingly primitive.
The The--alia u hermit did not ask
much of life. A reeky floor to lie oo,
bars or railings tc keep him from fall
ing out of his hole, a sheky ladder
down which he might now aad then
descend to earth and a basket and string
'to let down for supplies were all be
needed in addition to his crucifix and
other religicas necessities.
Thse aerial eaves were ocsspied in
the fourteesth century fhoosaads af
heratits, jodgisg from Ute remai&s of
fiafeitsriooe, most at one time or aaotbex
have soogh; refuge ia these digs. Pew
of them can bow he eater-ed, fer the
lu4ers have tor the meet pert fallen
away. j
Seemingly the way. a hermit proceed
ed was to choose a hole thafr took his
fancy. Up to this be ran a ladder. Then,
driving poles iato the reek before the
cave, he bailt out a HttJe platform, j
This he roofed in and ssrrocaded with '
a wall made of Etkks or dried grass, j
Prom one platform to another these '
anchorites ran -up their ladders mail the ,
whole face of the reek was alive wkh ,
these hermits of St. Anthooy.
"After the rime hoperad' fashioa of re
ligious recluses, the cliff dwelling her- ,
mits of St. Anthony depended wholly :
on charity for their sosteaaBce. Jrar -ap j
in their airy caves they spent their days .
and nights in prayer and coatersplasioeL.
When hungry or thirsty, they let down
their baskets to the graced, a ad when
these were filled they polled them up

J. D. Hasfleld of Lcs Angeles, cross
ing the continent on a bicycle reached
Denver recently. He plugged across the
Arizona deserts and through the New
.Mexican mountains, taking the railroad
tracks for nearly the entire distance.
i "When, he started from Los Angeles, he
was accompanied byD. V. Hearn, hut
; the latter stepped at Trinidad to go on
j. down into Kansas and work. Maxfield
is a nephew of President Bates, the
well known writer of bicycle stones.
He left Los Angeles April 19 and has
taken his time to the trip. He crossed
theiMohave desert from end to end on
his wheeL When he left Los Angeles,
he had claimed records of fcurmen who
said they had ridden across the desert,
but when he got out in the sands at ev
ery section house they told him the oth
er fellows had crossed it in the cars. He
then provided himself with a little book
and took the affidavits of every section
thti he passed that he had ridden the
whole way.
The bane of the ride was rattlesnakes
and Gila monsters. One night the two
tried to go after dark, and, while work
ing along the track, heard the ominous
rattle of a snake ahead. They came to a
dead halt and peered into the darkness.
The rattle could be heard, but the Eource
whence it came could only be con
jectured. The boys slipped down the
bank and around where he lay, listen
ing intently at every step fcr another
warning signal from another direction,
but that was the last night they tried
to ride after dark.
Another tremor was sent through
their frames when in- another camp two
hoboes who had been sleeping on the
ground awoke in the morning to find
their blankets shared by a Gila monster.
Thereafter the boys would take their
blankets in the recesses beneath water
tanks, in outbuildings and anywhere
but the hat ground.
Three weeks were occupied in cross
ing the desert, meals being taken at sec
tion houses. Kct many years ago sec
tion house people in the desert refused
to feed travelers, but orders were issued
compelling them to do so. Since that
time a high tariff has prevailed, but it
has teen possible to procure meals. The
usual price is 0 cents, and in some in
Etances Lis demanded. Xear the bound
ary line between Arizona and .New
Mexico the travelers espied a large
mountain lim sneaking along a bilL
He was in pursuit of several cows and
paid no attention to the bicyclists. Sev
eral wildcats were seen in rocky places,
but they always sneaked out of Eight.
The terrors of the ride were varied in
2tew Mexico. Near San Jose, at a little
place called Rio Perco, on a river of
the same name, a large herd of cattle
were spread out on both sides of the
track. The ordinary cow or steer would
eye the travelers for a time and then
bolt as if shot out of a gun. The only
danger wag when the herd was pn both
sides of the track. The minute one
started all started, and they ran in the
same direction. If the cattle en the
wrong side of the track did not have
proper rocm to get by the wheels, there
might be dt-xtage.
But at this particular place a mon
strous old bull was willing to stand for
his rights. The boys had been chased
several times by bulls of a like temper,
but had each time sprinted from dan
ger. Here they were caught on a rough
track with a long way to a safe place.
Wr- Bull scraped several times in the
dirt to work up his mad and then
charged- He was about 300 yards away
"jyheri he started, and half vanished in
a little draw on the way over, but he
came cut of that on the jump, his eyes
rolling and his tail lashing. Half the
distance done, he fell to a trot arid
threw up his head to take another view
of his prey. Then he ducked his head
and started on a business drive. Max
field met him as he came the last 50
yards, with a bullet'square fn the head.
TIjeoId fellow stopped, staggered and
felL The boys mppnted their wheels
and resumed their ride without ascer
taining the extent of his wounds.
In the Glcrietta canyon they met an
other species of danger. It is the coun
try infested by a gang of Mexican ban
ditti, who rob and then kill that the
robbery may not be traced to them. The
boys noticed two Mexicans on horseback
following them, who were afterward
joined by two others. The Mexican
men rcoe on aneau ana came down by
the railroa'd. The coys avoided them by
a detour and a 'duck" past same low
lulls, to the next station. They slept in
a little station house and piled up every
available article pf furniture against the
0ocr. Neither slept during the night, and
pear midnight they heard some one try
ing to push the door open. In the morn
ing they made haste to get out of the
country. In the last year or two eight
men have been robbed and murdered in

the latter, there were watches, dia

"Just punch my ticket, will your"
requested the man with the satchel,

Then tie stranger passed up a bril

Meager details- of a fiendish outrage
and robbery on Samuel Burnell, the
hermit, and for years the government
lightkeeper at Brown's island, have
been received. Burnell lives alone in a
eabin on the West Virginia shore op
posite the foot of the island, and it has
been rfiported for years that he had a
large amount cf money secreted there
The other morning at daylight, after
Burnell had returned from tending his
lamps, he found his cabin in possession
of three men who had ransacked every
thing and found nothing, asid in tlieir
rage they pounced on the venerable
lightkeeper and beat him almost uncon
scious. They tied Burnell to a tree and
threatened to Burn him if he did not
disclose where his money was. Burnell
offered them 85 cents, which he said
was all he had, and showed them where
his. bankbook was, in evidence that bis
money was nGt secreted there. The men
fied a sheet over his head and body and;
after pouring oil pn the sheet threaten
ed tc set fire tg it, but for some reason
they did not carry out their purpose,
leaving with a threat that they would
be back in an hour. Burnell managed
to work loose and get to a farmhouse

condition. Cleveland Plain Dealer
