Wild Schemes of Dinocrates.
The most remarkaole proposal ever
made about Mount Athos was that of
the architect Dinocrates. His plan
was to cut it into tbe shape of a gi
gantic statue of Alexander tbe Great,
holding In tlie right hand a city, in the
left a tank that was to receive all the
waters of the region. Alexander was
much taken with tbe scheme. But It
was eventually rejected on the ground
that the neighboring country was not
fertile enough to feed tbe Inhabitants
of the projected city. Another of Dlnoc-
rates' plans was n temple to the wife
of King Ptolemy of Egypt, with a roof
of loadstones that would keep an Iron
statue of her floating In the air.

— DINING ON SHIPBOARD.
Different Now From What It Wso
Whin Dickons Visited Us.
When Dickens came over to America
some seventy odd years ago there was
one large table in tbe dining room for
the passengers. The first officer sat at
the head, carving the turkey with all
tbe grace be could command between
lurches of the good ship, trusting to
Providence that the gravy would not
slop over. The passengers sent their
plates along the line and waited for
their helpings.
Today the dining room of a large
ship looks like the dining room of a
fine hotel It is Just as exquisitely ap
pointed and has every good thing to
eat that can be found on laud. In
fact, one of tbe new ships has a res
taurant named after a famous one in
New York, and the two keep in touch
by wireless so that the menus, day by
day. are the same. Think of having
your dinner arranged by wireless—
your macaroni by Marconi!
The dining room is divided up into
a number of small tables, so that you
can have your own party, with only
half a dozen of you, with your owu
waiter, instead of sitting at a long ta
ble and passing your plate, as Dickens
did.
Tbe development of the wonders of
cold storage has done more than any
other one thing to make life on tlie
ocean wave one long round of Joy.
Cold storage gives you tbe best In tbe
world to eat and every day of the
year. A world traveler was telling me
the other day that he bad eaten grape
fruit every morning all around tbe
world. Tbe ship on which be sailed

when he arrived in San Francisco, be
