THE CROSSVILLE CHRONICLE Queer Cult on Tolstoy Estate They Practice Doukhobors Ideal-" ism, With a Mingled Belief in Buddhism. MANUAL LABOR A RELIGION Declared Enemies of Destruction of Property, Human or Animal Life, and Oppose Soviet Gov ernment. Yasnaja Polyana, Russia. Fifteen young men, two youug women and an elderly matron have recently established on the Tolstoy estate what they term "an Improved bolshevik community." Described as an attempt to rectify failure of communism, the members of the colony are the declared enemies of the destruction of property, human or animal life, and thus are arrayed against the soviet government. The members of the colony make a religion of manual labor and declare Its chief tenet to be embodied In the phrase "Love thy neighbor as thyself." They declare themselves, like Count Tolstoy, "searchers for the truth In all things." They arrived here In early September with a permit from Moscow to occupy a portion of the estate now classed as a national Institution." Teacher Organizes Movement.

A teacher, whose brother Is director of the colony, organized the movement. The 18 members, all of whom profess the practical Idealism of the Doukhobors sect, with a mingled belief In Buddhism, were alloted quarters In a once handsome but now tumble-down one-story building of the estate built In 1780 for the serfs of Prince Volkon-ski, father of Tolstoy's mother. The new arrivals have" made the building habitable and have started to prepare for the cultivation of the 100 acres included In their grant. Food so far has been supplied free by the soviet government, the same as to all visitors to the Tolstoy home. The three women do the cooking.

WOMAN FORCIBLY Russian Red Goes on Hunger Strike in Prison. Marie Spiridonova, Who Attacked Bolsheviks, Escaped Prison and Was Recaptured, Nearly Dies From Lack of Food. Moscow. Marie Spiridonova, social revolutionist leader, who broke with the bolshevlkl over the Brest-LItovsk treaty, Is dangerously 111 in the Cheka hospital as the result of a hunger strike that lasted 15 days and was brought to an end through forced feeding. Spiridonova is the acknowledged leader of the Russian peasants.

She was banished to Siberia under the czarist regime for bombing a provincial official. She denounced the Brest-Litovsk trenty In the fifth all-Russian soviet congress because she said it robbed stitution. He was given a bed in the ground floor room, characterized by a brick arch, a room occupied by Tolstoy some fifteen years. Just as he was dropping off to sleep he was roused by pleasing chords on the grand piano locuted in the room. The playing was done by a young man who wore high boots, a belted jacket and a sheepskin cap.

Seeing the correspondent, he stopped playing and apologized, saying he didn't know the room was occupied.

Arcadia, Cal. New fields in engineering studies are being opened at the army balloon and airship school at Ross field here, in the department of plotting from photographic maps, according to officers of the recently reorganized school. The plotting study-room is equipped with an enormous photographic map embracing 250 square miles of territory, almost to Los Angeles, of which Arcadia Is the center. The map Is a mosaic of several thousand photographs taken by brtlloon or airship from an altitude of 500 feet. As a result of these studies by the Langley Field, Virginia, and Arcadia the Tennessee FED IN RUSSIA the peasants of their food and clothing.

Spiridonova disappeared Immediately after her inflammatory speech. Bolshevist leaders caused the report to be circulated that she was mentally unbalanced and had been placed In a sanitarium. She was confined for a time in a building in the Moscow Kremlin, but managed to escape, and was not heard of for a long while. The cheka discovered her living quietly in an obscure section of Moscow and she was again Imprisoned. After repeated attempts to get released, Spiridonova started the hunger which came near ending her life.

She has been afflicted with tuberculosis for years as a result of her prison experiences under the old regime. The lack of food aggravated her malady and It was necessary to move her to a hospital and administer nourishment forcibly. Spiridonova was a school teacher at the time she became a terrorist, and while still in her teens took up the de chard, planted by the famous Russian author, and one of the first acts of the newcomers was to whitewash all the trees. This operation was preceded by an animated discussion as to whether It should be done. The young men carefully debated this problem.

If the trees are not whitewashed the orchard will be ruined by Insects, but If the whitewash Is applied the Insects will die of starvation and It Is wrong to destroy life. As the members of the colony are vegetarians and fruit is therefore the" prime article of food to thein. necessity prevailed over Ideals and the whitewashing was done. A second problem was solved much after the same reasoning. For many years the manager of the Tolstoy estate has been Prince.

Obollnskl, who occupied building once used by the author as a peusants' school. The newcomers, declaring that the presence of an overseer might restrict their "liberty of action," have decreed that the prince must go, and the Obollnskl family soon must seek food and shelter elsewhere. Finds Swarm of Bees and Honey in Porch Pillar Middletown, N. Y.

Other uses to which photographic maps are being put are preliminary Investigations of watersheds, hydroelectric developments, highway, railroad and canaL location, forest surveys and various engineering works. Army -air officers have perfected automatic timing of exposures to cover the proper ground area, and at the same time secure tha necessary overlap for the accurate fitting together of individual negatives. This permits taking of pictures from the moving airship or airplane.

Lenses have been discovered espe--cially adnpted for this type of wcrk, and the officers fiave developed the technique covering such details as the best height from which to take pictures for specific purposes, speed of airplane and maintenance of level flights to insure vertically of view. The maps now produced by air service photographers, according to officers, attain a high degree of accuracy and wealth of valuable detail Aerial photography Is among the subjects taught at the Ross Field school. Air service officers point out thnt among points of particular value to engineering to be found in aerial photography are the speed with which such maps may be produced, ability to cover territory inaccessible on foot, comparatively low cost and Impossibility of omitting any feature of the area photographed. The mosaic map, army officers say, does not mean transit, stadia and plane-table are in the discard, but thnt engineering surveys made solely by these time-tried instruments will be out of date. fense of pensanrs against the oppressions of government officials and landlords.
