London. Letters from .Jerusalem gay that tho proclamation of tho Con stitution In Turkey has thrown open tho doors of Palestine to to incom ing of Jews from all parU ,of the world. In Jerusalem alono four-fifths f tho population of 100,000 now be long to the Jewish faith, wlills t Jaf fa, Tiberias, Safed, and Haifa Jews are reckoned by tens of thousands. Almost tho whole extensive plain of Esdraelon has been bought up by them. Their prosperous colonies spread from Dan to Boersheba, nrd even further soutli to the outskirts o.' Egypt. Thousands aro escaping from Persia to find shelter and protection In the Holy Land, while overy sh p from Odessa carries hundreds of them. The valley of tho Jordan, once the property of tho ex-Sultan Abdul Ham Id, 1b being eagerly sought after by Jewish capitalists and syndicates of Zionists, whose agents, distributed r.'l over tho land, aro buying up rich prc; erties of Mohammedan ofiendc s whoso Incomes Blnco tbo revoiut? n are considerably lessoned. The Holy City is essentially a Jew ish town. Banking, as well as trade and commerce, Is monopolized by Jews. The Government has found it necessary to organize a company of Jewish gendarmes. Hundreds of thou sands of pounds aro sent annually from Europe and America to enable the colonists to build homes, hospi tals, school;, and Invalid home3. Over 100 Jewish schools already exist in Jerusalem alone and synagogues are going up everywhere. The value of land has risen four fold. The Ignorant and poverty stricken fellaheen are being ousted from their homes and villages by the teharp European Jewish settler, whoso modern agricultural Implements and methods have made the land produce harvests never before dreamed of by the natives. The Anglo-Palestine Company, a Zionist banking and com mercial enterprise, Is pushing the cause of Israel with great determina tion. The racial excluslveness of tho Jews and their clannish proclivities are arousing the opposition of the Ot tomans and the Turkish constitutional regime has In this question one of tho greatest problems that a new and patriotic Government ever faced. PASSING OF ROTOKINO BILLY. Famous Decoy Sheep of Auckland Dies a Violent Death. Auckland, New Zealand. There is sadness here because of the death of Rotokino Billy, the famous decoy sheep of the Union Steamship Com pany, which shared with Pilot Tom, the white whispering grampus which guides vessels through Cook's Strait, between the North and South Islands, the protection of the Government Pilot Tom -was not to be shot under a penalty of $500, and It was prohibit ed to convert Rotokino Billy Into mutton under any circumstances. For tho last ten years tho sheep had been one of the crew of the Vnion Steamship Company's llnsr Wanaka, between New. Zealand and Australia. Billy's duty was to act as a decoy in leading sheep on and off the steamer. Ho was never known to make a mistake, and his salnt-liko expression ns he led his unforunate brethren to their doom was much appreciated by American tourists on the Wanaka. On the lnst passage of tho ship from Wellington to Auckland Rotokino Bil ly was knocked into ono of the coal bunkers by a heavy sea and broke his neck, to the Intense grief of the crew. Knowing Decalog Frees Him. Lancaster, Pa. It has been a pe culiar fancy of Mayor McCosky to ask prisoners to repeat the Ten Command ments, but he never, until the other day, found a man who could stand the test. Among his subjects was James Duffy, a resident of Philadelphia, who had been picked up for taking a snooze In a public hallway. James proved equal to the emergency, and, after establishing a record on which men in many professions and trades had failed, he was given his liberty. Ad. for Wife Brings Many Replies. Oconto, Wis. Letters from women flowed In on John Barney, a farmer, who advertised for a wife, offering to take her to town to see moving pic ture shows once every week, and to allow her all the physlclal culture training and piano playing sho might wish. He received thtrty-slx letters In two days. Allentown, Pa. James Wilson, who Is serving a thirty-year sentence for the murder of John P. Ebert of this city, whom he shot for money to get married with, has written to the warden, saying he is happy and noth lng worries blm; that he Is "glad ha has no wife, because they are no good." 'Highest Known Temperature. Sir Andrew Noblo has reached tho .highest point of temperature in ter restrial .thermometry, says Harper's Magazine. Ho has Accomplished this ,by exploding cordite iin closed vessels wlth a .resulting prcaiuo of GO tons to the squaw inch, nnd . temperature or no less than 5,200 degrees C. Sir William .toookes saw iliat ono Inci dental .result of this experiment should have been tho formation of diamond that is, if his icalculatlons were correct. On working over tho residues of Hit' explosion chamber ho has recently (extracted from them small crystals diat seem to .bo verit able diamonds. 'We sec, then, that if men cannot control the conditions Uiat malLe for larpe diamonds, they, at least, understand .them. It Is. Jn all likelihood, a matter of a comparative ly short time when tlie diamond will have been conquered as absolutely as ruby. With this final temperature of 2,500 degrees C. we have reached the limit looking back we see that every step in temperature he has so far taken has led him Just so far along the path to universal conquest the absolute conquest which he is destined ulti mately to make. But in this phase of temperature alone he still has far to go. Wo have had evidence from many sources that even in tho sun, which is by no means the hottest of I lie heavenly bodies, and which yet possesses temperatures that transcend anything wo know on earth, the very elements of matter He there disin tegrated into simpler forms. Such temperatures are the distant Alplno heights ever and ever so far higher than the Hlght ascent to which we Jtae so tendiously arrived. Gum Going In Maine. Doleful reports come from the Maine wooda The spruce gum Indus try is on the decline, and the prices for tho sticky delight are on the rlso. Gum that would not hnve brought more than 50 or CO cents a plund a few years ago, gum of a gritty, acrid, Ill-flavored sort, now sells for ?1 and ?1.25 a pound at Bangor and other gum centres. A few years ago the best gum that was ever chewed, fresh from the wind-swept gum trees of tho north, sold at 75 cents a pound, and was chewed by the fairest In tho land. Bits of Maine were in everybody's mouth, so to speak, Maine spruce gum ranked alongside of James G. Blaine and Thomas B. Reed In mak ing Uio state famous. What Reed did for the House, spruce gum did for the common people It regulated tho Jaw movement. People sank their teeth into Maine spruce gum and ennobling thoughts camo perforce. It would be impossible to say ho wmuch of the nation's valor has found its origin in the effort to separate working parts of the system from Maine gum. But it is all oyer, and tho gum Is becom ing as scarce as great men In Maine. Boston Advertiser. Tale of an Animal Trainer. ' Animal trainers of tho old days led adventurous lives. In 1600 all London was talking of a man named Benkes, porvnnt to tho Earl of Efisex, who had taught his horse to count and perform a number of feats, Including mourning to the top of St. Paul's Cathedral while "a number of asses," as the his torian puts it, "brayed below." Sir Walter Raleigh, in his history, says of Bankes that he "would have shamed all of the enchanters of the world; tor whatsoever was most famous among them could never master or instruct any beast as he did his) horso." When Bankes took his horse to Rome both were burnt for witchcraft. Introducing Hall Caine. In ono of Hall Caine's visits to this country a banquet was given in his honor in a certain city and Thomas Nelson Page was Invited to Introduce the guest of the evening. Just beforo tho toast began Mr. Page's rlghthand neighbor passed his menu around the table with tho request that Caine should lead the usual "autographing" with his signature. "Good Idea," said Page; "I'll send my menu card along too. I've got to introduce Hall Caine in a few minutes and I want to be able to say that I havo read something he has written. New York's Y. M. C. A. Greater (Now York is tho greatest Y. M. C. A. center in the world. It has moro than 40 organizations and 20,000 members; It has 400 secretaries and employes, and 2,800 of Its mem bers aro officeholders and committee men. Its largest building, the Twenty third street branch, cost $i.6ou.Oi.i J has 3,000 members. Branch associa tions aro located In all parts oi ...o city, and are extending Into The Bronx and out Into tho parks ot Brooklyn. Survivor of Battle. Tho only known survivor of tho naval battle of Navarino, which took place In 1827, is still living near Rhyde, namely, John Stalner, who has just passed his hundredth birth day. Stalner was midshipman's stow ard on board the Talbot. A quaint superstition Is provalent in many English vlllagos. When a wo man Is going to be married every ef fort Is made to prevent her from see ing her wedding ring before the cere mony, as it is considered that a sight ot It except at the altar is bound to bring bad luck. SOOTH FEAREND OF WORLD Salvation Army Lender :8ays Destruc tion by Flra Is not Improbable In 4he Near Future. London. Jen. Booth of tho Salva tion Army has taken upon his shoul ders the mantle of those sad prophets who from time to time have predicted tho Imminent dissolution of the world because of Its wickedness. Address ing a meeting, lie said: "We have a world setting God Al mighty at nnught and rushing forward reckless of His wishes and threaten Ings nB to their fateu Notwithstanding all that has been done In years gone by, men and women still pursue their wickedness to-day In all the nations of the earth. "Not only one nation, but all na tions, seem banded together as ono great people of rebellion, transgres sion, nnd wickedness until some think I bellove with a considerable degree of probability that we may be ap proaching rapidly the end of all things, with similar results but far surpassing In magnitude anvtlilne that has gone before; that all things may bo wound up, but that instead of there being a deluge of water sweoplng tho world and its inhabitants there will be destruction by fire."

The Latter Apparently an Antidote for the Former In France. Paris. Some interesting statistics have Just been published In Paris re garding marriage nnd - lunacy In France. Why there should bo any re levancy the French authorities do not say. It appears that there aro In Franca 29 cases of lunacy per 10,000 bachelors and 32 per 10,000 spinsters, while the rate Is only 7 per 10,000 married men and 10 per-10,000 married women. For widowers the rate is 17 and for wid ows 18 per 10,000. These figures should not be taken as a standard for other European countries. In Switzerland, for In stance, the rate of lunacy Is much lower. There aro only 9 lunatics among 10,000 Swiss bachelors and only 7 among 10,000 married men, with 13 per 10,000 widowers and 31 per 10,000 divorced men. Cases of suicide in France aro far more numerous among bachelors than among married men, and the propor tion is double among widowers and divorced men. "EARTH SOLID AT FIRST." Professor Davis, of Harvard, Disputes Theory That It was Molten Mass. Boston. Professor William Morris Davis, of Harvard, took issue in n lec ture at tho Lowell Institute, with the theory that the earth was a molten mass at first. "In tho beginning, the outside of the earth was a solid crust," ho said. "This crust had a great attracting power, and drew to It many small bodies. "Tho constantly Increasing pressure of these bodies caused the centre of the earth to become molton, although at first It was solid, like the earth's crust, Tho formntlon of rocks In tho Grand Canyon proves this." SHOTS BRING AID TO HIM. Prospector's Leg Broken, Use of Hla Rifle Summons Rescuers. Redding, Cal. Having broken a leg, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, prospector, was six hours crawling to his cabin, 300 yards away. Unablo for llo days to move about enough to get hlinBelf food ho lay on the floor in a half-conscious condition. Driven almost out of his mind by pain and hunger he Anally succeeded in dragging hlmBolf to his rifle and fired several shots, which attracted the attention ot Homo section men on the railroad near by and brought them to him. INDIAN IMPORT8 BEAR8' N08E8. Fraud Unearthed When He Brings In Twenty-three In One Lot. Calais, Me. Joseph Lacoot, a Pas samaquoddy Indian, who from time to time has been bringing in bears' noses and paws and collecting the 5 bounty, has been sent to the Machlas jail for ninety days. His last lot of twenty-three noses waB his undoing. A detective discovered that Joe did bis hunting in a fur dealer's place in St Stephens, N, B., buying the noses and claws and smuggling them across the Una. Markln gthe Santa Fa Trait. Tho famous old Santa Fe trail Is to be marked so that its location will not bo forgotten. Tho school children of Kansas woro asked to contribute a penny each to socure suitable markers for this pioneer highway of progress, and 369.1G6 responded. With this fund tho trail will be outlined In an enduring manner from Kansas City to Santa Fo, 800 miles as the caravans made it, tho time consumed for tho round trip being 110 days. It Is be lieved the trail datos back to 1540, when a Spanish advonturer led an expedition from Mexico as far north as Kansas. But it was not until tho beginning of the last century that, tho American trader and pioneer utilized the long trail that stretched out into the wilderness of tho new El Dorado. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Where Elephants are Stolen. To steal an elephant would seem to bo wellnlgh impossible. But the Brit ish Consul reports that it is a com mon practice in Slam. There the huge quadrupeds are omployed In the toak forests and frequently disappear. Ono British flnm last year bewailed tho loss of a dozen and reported that a3 many more were stolen from their contrac tors. Another firm lost nine, only three of which were recovered. As the average value of tho elephants 13 about $1,000 a head, the consul natur ally enlarges on the seriousness of tte matter. What is annoying about It Is that tho officials are Indifferent and if one of the missing creatures is recov ered at' all it Is only by means of a search party organized for the purpose. Plnlcss Chinese. A member of tho Chinese legation, clad In splendid pale hued silks, stood before the Casino at Newport. "Pins," ho said, "cause untl.'y habits. Wo have no pins In ChUa. The right way to fasten things Is wi'h buttons and buttonholes, or with loops and frogs. To fasten things with pins is to make use of an untidy makeshift. To employ pins Is to be come lazy and slovenly. "We have no pins In China. Cer tain foreign manufacturers shipped millions of 'them to us in the past, but wo sent them back. Wo had no use for them. We were too neat.." Providence Journal. Foreign Educational Schools. A few yers ago the foreign mission ary schools were practically the only Institutions in Foo-Chow offering fa cilities for tho acquisition of Western learning. There are now at least 30 native schools fashioned after the for eign model. Foo-Chow is a city of 600,000 inhabitants and these schools embrace about 2,000 students. Posits placarded all over tho city advertise the opening of various modern schools, which are springing up In every nook and corner of the place. Scarcely a week passes without the announcement of the opening of a now school. American Goods in China. Noticeable among tho foreign arti cles In the shops at Shosi, China, ac cording to a British representative, were German and American clocks and watches; British, French and Ger man medicines, provisions and wines; British and German cutlery, and ev erywhere the widely advertised British and American cigarets. Serfdom In Hungary. In some parts of Hungary serfdom of the old Russian type still prevails. Tho peasant Is obliged to work fifty days each year for his landlord with out pay, the time to be cuosen by the latter, who Is almost sure to choose the season when the poor man can least afford to work for nothing. This system led to an Insurectlon in lb'JS. From the Cotton Machine. Eli Whitney's cotton gin was re sponsible for the Immense strides taken by King Cottin.yet It has been asserted that this machine was but the practical application of an Idea that found birth in the brain of tho widow of General Nathaniel Greene of revolutionary fame. Increasing Use of Glass. A noticeable Increase In tho imports of glass at Nabasakl, Japau, Is report ed by the British consul. It Is duo, he says to the growing use by the Jap anese of window glass for tho houses. Most of It is fourth quality and Bel glum is the chief source oi supply. Paving Roads With Straw. The experiment cf paving tho roads with straw has been tried with suc cess by the farmers of Western Amer ica. Every autumn tho roads are covered with dUBt, which, after tho heavy rains, becomes thick mud, mak ing travel hard for man and beast. After straw had been laid on tho main thoroughfares to a depth ot a foot or more traveling became easy. Wedding Superstitions. The Canadian Pacitic Railway Com pany is boasting that is has accom plished the feat of landing British malls in Hongkong In 29 days from tho dispatch from London, or nearly a week less than the previous' records. Corpus Chrlstl Procession. In Orotava, Tenerlffo, tho Corpus Christj procession passes jver floral carpets with which the streets on the route are covered during the festival. Beautiful tapestry designs ore imitated with fresh blossoms. TIIK MIDDLE AGED MAN. Why Ho Thinks It Is IthonmatUm That Bothers Hltn and Not Gout. "Can anybody tall ma," said the middle aged man, "the difforonce between rheumatism and gout? Now, not being very well vorsod in medical science, knowiag very little In fact about osteology or therapeu tics or anatomy, materia mcdlca or pharmacopoea, I wouldn't undortako, mysolf, offhand to say; but In a gen eral way I would say that gout Is an ailment that attacks tho rich and rheumatism tho poor; and, being not what you would call a rich man, I Buppose what I've got is rheuma tism. "I have read In novels and seen pictures of portly gentlemen of mid dle age or rather more who sat in great easy chairs and with ono foot all swathed up in bandages stretched out in front of them supported on a foot rest. This Is the old gontleman, living in a fine old manor house or in a splendid mansion In town, who is described in tho novel as being testy and choleric choleric, as I un derstand it, meaning not that ho has cholera or anything of that sort but an uneven temper; and this old gen tleman with foot thus done up in bandages and supported on a foot rest has gout. "But several of my symptoms arc different. I don't live In an old manor house, nor in a mansion in town; and howover disposed I might bo to be testy and choleric, I have to keep my temper, and I don't swath my foot in bandages and re cline It on a foot rest. I havo to keep more or less on the move. "So I suppose that In the absence of the familiar gout symptoms we might safely diagnose my case as one of just plain rheumatism; but I guess my rheumatism hurts me about as much as the gout of our testy and choleric old friend hurts him." Ono Tlook Authors. Robert Burton, the author of "The Anatomy of Melancholy," may claim this honor: His book has stood the test of" time as few books have. Pro fessor Salntsbury writes that "all fit readers of English literature have loved him." Lamb praises "tho fan tastic great old man" and, indeed, borrowed from him many a choice phrase. Among other remarkable "ono book authors" may bo mention ed Sir Thomas Malory, whose fa mous collection of Arthurian ro mances Is one of the Imperishable treasures of the English tongue; Richard Hooker, whoso "Laws of Ec clesiastical Polity" is still a stand ard book on the constitution of the Church of England, and Gilbert, White, whose immortal "Natural History of Selbourne" Is still read with pleasure and profit. Business Philosophy. Play is work that you don't have to do. Never hide a traveling man whoso waistcoat Is more Insistent than his personality. Don't rise so high in your calling that you see only one side of your fellows. It's true that a marble statue has no faults, but then it has no friends, either. There are plenty of doors labelled "Pull," but tho majority, after all, bear the legend "Push." There are self-made men In this world who ought to be suffering from remorse. Warwick James Price In Llppincott's. Canadians in This Country. In tho United States, according to the census, aro 819.2G4 Canadians 10 years of age and over. Forty per cent of these aro engaged in manufacturing, 30 per cent lu persoual service, betwoeu 17 and IS per cent in trado and trans portation, about the same percentage In agriculture, and somewhat over 4 per cent in professions. The percent age in tho professions is approxi mately the saran as that of the native born white population In tho United States. Tho largo numbers, as com pared with the number left behind following tho same occupations throw light on conditions in Canada for ex ample, tho number of expatiated Cana dian teachors and college professors, lawyers and clergymen. Disinfecting Churches. The Alcado of Madrid, who, at least In sanitary matters. Is decidedly pro gressive, has issued an oruer for the disinfection of churches. This order, which is based on a report from the director of the municipal laboratory, prescribes that all the churchea ot the Spanish capital are to be swept out dally with sawdust moistened with a solution of copper sulphate. All tho fittings and furniture of tho churches, chaira. bauahesi, caneff onnl holy water fonts, etc., are to bo disinfected every day. For Surveying Great Depths. A new Instrument for surveying deep-bore holes contains a compass, plummet, small cameras and electric light, the whole connected with a small adjustable clock, so that the light may be turned on for a given period after the apparatus has been lowered Into the hole. It has been used in survoylng a number ot holes In South Africa and has proved satis factory. Both dip and deviation ore recorded by means of photographs of the positions of both a plumb-bob and a magnetic needle ot any desired pllnt in the bore bole. The photographs are taken by means of twf small electric lamps lighted by a time contact PKOFBSSIONAIj CARDS. Attarneya-at-Law. H WILSON, . ATTORN XT A COUHSKLOR-AT-LAW.
