Princeton, N. J. — Approximately
2,200 photographs 4 of Biblical) manu
scripts In Greek Othodox monasteries
on Mount Athos, many never before
photographed and several never be
fore seen by American scholars, have
made it possible for Princeton univer
sity professors tor- reconstruct the
origins and development of Biblical
illustrations in manuscripts from the
Second to the Nineteenth centuries.
The photographic expedition, spon
sored by Princeton university, passed
two and a half months in 14 of the 20
monasteries on Mount Athos, one of
the richest depositories of early Bible
pictures.
Since late in January Profs. Albert
M. Friend, Jr. and Krnest T. PeWald,
of the Princeton departments of art
and archeology, and l>r. Kurt Weitz-
mann, leader of the expedition, have
been, compiling a preliminary classifi
cation of the photographs in prepar
ation for,publication of all the illus
trations found In the Greek manu
scripts of both the Old and New 'Pest-
aments. Doctor Weitzmann was as
sisted in the expedition by Frejbers,

The earliest of the manuscripts pho
tographed. many of which had not
b«“en catalogued and were therefore
unknown to scholars, were painted
in the Ninth century.

collection date to the Sixth century,
and, with the Mount Athos photo
graphs, make possible accurate deter
mination of the general structure of
Bible illustrations as far back as the
Second century, Professor Friend said.
In the collection which Professor
Friend began to compile about 1920,
are 10,000 photographs of Old and
New Testament manuscript illustra
tions, of which 2,000 are of minia
tures in the Vatican library. There
are about 1,000 similar illustrations
from manuscripts in the Bibliotheque
Nationale in Paris. With the addition
of the Mount Athos pictures seven-
eighths of the known material has
been assembled.
See Ancient Volume.
The expedition was the first per
mitted to see the contents of the
‘‘Gospels of Nicephoros Phocis,” an
imperial gift to the Monastery of
Great Laura, th6 first on Mount Athos.
The volume is bound in golden covers
and embossed with gems and enamels.
Miniature pictures in the volume of
the three great feast days, are among
the finest examples of early Eleventh-
century Byzantine art.
The work at Princeton has been un
dertaken as a part of the prepara
tion of an exhaustive index of Chris
tian art, a catalogue of Christian art
which has been in ,the process of
classification for .more than 20 years.
Two volumes on the Old Testament
corpus arc planned for publication this
year, with complete publication of the
enormous collection expected to re
quire about ten years. Ten volumes
of Old Testament illustrations and
four volumes of text about them are
planned. The New - Testament is ex
pected to require four volumes of illus
trations and two volumes of text.
Professor DeWald is in charge of prep
aration of the text of the Hist two
volumes.
Teach Soil Conservation
Through Motion Pictures
Washington.—Motion pictures will
be used as part of the administra
tion’s program for educating the farm
ers of America to the need of soil con
servation, keystone of the substitute
for the invalidated AAA. An appro
priation bill carries $79,000 for the
preparation and distribution of mo
tion pictures dealing with the Depart
ment of Agriculture's scientific work.
This sum will enable the department
to operate its movie laboratories, draft
its scenarios, and edit and prepare its
pictures on soil conservation.
The soil conservation service, out of
its own appropriation, may be asked
to earmark additional funds for edu
cational pictures on soil conservation,

LEONARD A. BARRETT
Whenever we hear the name of Col
onel Charles A. Lindbergh, we im
mediately think of
the flight of the
St. Louis to France
_ and of the heroic
qualities displayed
4* by America’s fore
most aviator. That
Colonel Lindbergh
made a contribu
tion to aeronautics,
second to none, no
one would deny.
Seldom is it given
| to any person to
I be accredited with
Bpllj fame in more than
one field of specu
lation. Colonel Lindbergh, however, is
destined to have his name Indelibly
engraved upon the records of two de
partments of science, the latter being
the field of medical research.
The month of March, 1986, will ever
be remembered in the history of medi
cine for the announcement made
through the Rockefeller foundation, of
the completion of an artificial body by

Oldest Temple-Fort Found
by Explorers in the Orient
A prehistoric architect's concep
tion of a combined citadel and ma
ple of worship, antedating by nearly
three centuries the earliest biblical
reference to temple fortresses, has
been uncovered by archeologists at
Tepe Gawra, In northern Mesopo
tamia, it was announced at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. The discov
ery and excavation of the masa've
walled "round house,” a circular
building of sun brick unique among
all prehistoric finds, climaxed the
seventh season of work at the “Great
Mound” lo miles northeast of Mosul
by a joint expedition of the unlver-
sTty museum and the American
Schools of Oriental Research.

Johnny Behr, athletic director of the
Illinois Athletic club of Chicago, has
been named head coach of the Ameri
can Olympic boxing team for 1996. Mr.

Colonel Lindbergh. It is called the
robot heart. The mechanism consists
of glass tubes of various dimensions,
glass receptacles, and so on. into which
can he placed a wounded part of the
body, and the healing process watched
and studied with scientific precision.
In other words, the parts of the human
body surb as a diseased thyroid gland,
or kidney, can be made to function un
der normal conditions, because the re
ceptacle into which these organs are
placed functions exactly as does the
human body. Organs separated from
the human body can.thus be kept nor
mally alive, and the process of healing
under the influence of the curative
methods employed, studied as it never
lias been possible before.
The physician or surgeon studies
the effect caused by certain bodily con
ditions as they are manifested in fever,
pains, and symptoms. From these ef
fects lie seeks to discover the cause of
the malady. This effort to discover the
cause may be attended by the element
of a “guess.” .Many times the cause is
difficult to discover, it is claimed that
the robot heart will reveal not only
the efi'eet of disease but the cause as
well.
It took Colonel Lindbergh five years
of most painstaking toil to perfect his
contribution to medical science. Ac
cording to a representative of the
Rockefeller foundation, it is impossible
to predict the ultimate value of the
application of Colonel Lindbergh’s new
creation to the healing of disease.
All hail to America’s foremost avia
tor. In the future we qhall doubtless
think of him also, as a scientist of the
highest order.

T UK limits ot a room are essential
to remember in a homemaker’s con
sideration of decorative schemes. This
was impressed upon me recently when
going over some pictorial plans for in
teriors. It was not that the rooms
were badly arranged. They were good
Rut where would there lie sufficient
space in the average living room, for
instance, for two large davenports, a
large knee hole writing desk, great
over stuffed chairs, capacious tables, a
piano and seven lamps, three of them
floor lamps, to say nothing of the vari
ous footstools, small tables, side chairs,
etc.? It certainly would require a man
sion.
In my work of interior decoration, I
have become accustomed to calculat
ing floor spaces and gauging room
areas. The measurements of this room
would have to be at least 20 feet wide
by 80 feet long, and 29 hy 85 or 40 feet
would be more accurate to give the
spaciousness pictured. However at
tractive the arrangement, it could not
he practical for ordinary size living
rooms.
Visualising Arras.
The home decorator must learn to
visualize rooms. To some persons this
is an easy matter, while others have
difficulty In doing It. If you belong to
the latter group, begin by seeing in
your mind’s eye, how some article yon
want would fit first Into one space and
then In another In the room. Know
the measurements of your rooms so
that when you see pictures of rooms,
and would like to have something sim
ilar in arrangement, you can. yourself,
gauge whether it would .he feasible, or
not.
It is important to give an impression
of space in rooms of small dimensions.
For tills furniture and furnishings
must either be chosen carefully to
conform to sizes of rooms, or furniture
must be quelled when pieces are over-
large or there are too many as is often
the case in these days, when moving
Into sumller homes is practiced for
economy's sake. By careful arrange
ments of furniture certain articles can
seem to diminish, when they are too
large, or the number of pieces seem
less than they really are.
On the other hand the limits of large
rooms can be made to seem less by
good arrangements of furniture when
there is scarcity of pieces.
Lure of Hatnei.
Furniture and furnishings have an
amazing number of names apart from
those of classification, such as beds,
chairs, tables, etc. Seme of these oth
er names are due to the fact that a
person originated the deki’gn, and was
also, perhaps, the craftsman who ac
tually made the pieces, as instanced in
Chip|K*ndale, Sheraton, Hlckok. Morris,
etc.
The fame of Chippendale has come
down through the centuries largely
through his chairs, but by no means
for them alone for his list of kinds is
a long one. Some of Ids pieces bear
the further descriptive name of Chi
nese, expressive of the inflnence of the
art of that great country from which
returning merchant vessels were bring
ing to England treasures In many arts.
