Besides, the ancient tradition is of no account here, as it varied down to the fourth century.

Clement of Alexandria relates that some regarded the 25th, Pachon (I. May 20), others the 24th or 25th, Phar-muthi (April 19 or 20), as the day of Nativity. It is rather difficult to say, according to the Philadelphia Public Ledger. But apparently the wings conventionally worn by angels are those of the albatross. At all events, albatross wings correspond most nearly to the patterns.

The albatross weighs about 18 pounds and has a wing spread of 11 feet. Each of its wings has an area of seven square feet. With a wing spread proportionate to size, an angel as well equipped for flight as the albatross ought to be able to fly very well. The trumpeter swan, which is the greatest weight-carrier of all long-distance flyers, would be at a disadvan tage as compared with an angel. It weighs 28 pounds and has a wing spread of only eight feet.

HILL PUZZLE TO GEOLOGISTS Stone Columns on Eminence Near Pa chuca, in Mexico, Out of Keeping With Other Formations. A very remarkable geological freak in Mexico is a mountain situated near Pachuca which presents the appearance at a distance of being covered with spikes. The sides of the moun tain are" closely studded with stone col umns or palisades. These columns are five to twelve feet long and as large round as an average man's body. It is a remarkable uplift of nature which has the appearance, however, of being the handiwork of human beings.

One side of the mountain Is almost perpendicular and the stone columns protrude from the surface at right angles, forming an Impressive picture. Pnchua Is one of the most noted mining districts In Mexico, and It Is said iy geologists unit this rennirk.v Lie spiked mountain In out of keeping) with the remainder of the formation of the mineralized region. The stone Is ns hard as l'lnt and has the eli ni'-iiH of litres. The spikes form a natural bnttleiiient that makes the mountain iipprnr from a distance like iui niifk-nt fort.
