The Caucasians build floats on the surface of the river. Into them are water wheels. The whole affalr is fastened to the bank in such a way that it will rise and fall with any change the level of the surface of the river, so that the power is about constant all the time, In Hama, the anclent “entering in of Hamath,” the Syrians have accompligh- ed a feat that makes one think of lift. ing oneself over a fence by tugging at ora’s bootstraps. They have harnessed the historic Orontes, or Nahr el Asl, as the Syrians call it, Into the work of lifting itself many feet toward the ze- nith and trained it thus to water thelr frultful gardens and orchards As for size, the water wheels which do this are as to other water wheels what Niagara {8 to other water- falls, ids by one of these great wooden frames revolving upon its wooden axle and up at its perimeter forty feet above one thinks it large and is astonished when he turns his gaze up stream to see that relatively it is not a great wheel, for in the distdnce looms up one sixty feet in height. Even then he Is not prepared for the spectacle of one ninety feet In diameter grunting around on its cum- brous axle just outside the town. Life in Hama for some people is like the liking of others for olives, an acquired taste, because of these very water wheels, According as one feels about it, it is a musical city or one filled with nerve racking groans. Day and night without ceasing these mass- ive, slow revolving structures utter speech, For those who have acquiréd a taste for their companionship the never ceasing tones are soothing, resembling the ocean roar or a slow fugue played on some cyclopean organ. The dia- pason tones are deeper and louder than the deepest organ stop. Now they are in unison, now repeating the theme, one after another, now for a brief mo ment in a sublime harmony never to be forgotten, according to one traveler, then once more together in a tremens dous chorus. The sounds are describ ed ns a slow movement up the scale, followed with a heavy drop to the key- note ns: Do mi sol, do do do; do sol la, do do do.
