The French seriously damaged the tower in 1812 by tearing down the gilded cross which crowned its dome, in the mistaken notion that it was made of solid gold. Few visitors can have lefi Moscow without climbing to the top of Ivan Veliki to see the wonderful view of the city and the surround- ing country which is to be had from the top of it. "The Cathedral of St. Basil {s one of the architectural cVriosities of the world. It is crowned by a forest of onion-shapsd domes, which are as varied in hue as in size.

It stands on the Red Square outside the battlement walls of the Kremlin.

It is a startling fact that Ameri- can, Englisl, French and other in- vestigators have published broadcast the methods by which they obtained remedies for human ills, while Ger- many alone has mugged her valuable information, obtained patents in oth er countries and accumulated wealth by trading on the misfortunes of man- kind:- It is' necessary only to con- trast the conduct of Pasteur and Ebr- Teutonic selfishness put the cost of a remedy for the ferrible scourge of venereal diseases beyond the reach of the poor. The profits on that patent went fo a factory in which it is claimed the first poison- gas shell was manufactured. It is because of these facts that the philo- sophically inclined discern poetic jus- tice in the decision of the United States Government to release Ger-| man scientific secrets 10 American manufacturers. The present activi- ties of the Federal Trade Commission under the trading with the enemy act mean that, while German factor- ies that once produced remedies for the most of man's maladies are now turning out agencies for the.destruc- tion of human life, American factor- ips are working day and night on for- mulas that were once German secreis in a determined campaign to capture North and South American markets over which Germany had exclusive control.
