More Syrian Horrors-Ubristlnn Women
Slain, RavisNed and Become Apostates.
recent letter-writer at Damascus says:
Horrible stories are afloat about the thou
sands Of Christian women of Damascus. Our
blood almost congeals at the thought of such
fate. knew many of them; they were fair
and beautiful, and many Of them gentle and
and to some extentcultivated. Hundreds of
these were doubtless buried beneath the ruins
of their burning houses; but we are told that
thousands were carried of into the interior
by the Kaords and Arabs Of the desert, to be
destroyed at their leisure. Horror Of horrorsl
We learn that many of them have turned
Moslems to save their lives. Several hundred
of such renegades have been reported, and
doubtless there are many more not yet heard
| from. A letter from the Greek refugees from
Hasbeiya, who had taken refuge in Damas-
Gus from the Druses coolly relates the fact of
their change of religion.
They state that upon the news of the in
surrection reaching them, they put turbans
upon their heads in the Moslem style, and
began to pillage the house of their host, as
If they had been Moslems. They rushed out
into the streets with plunder upon their
backs, cursing the Christian dogs, the Chris
tian religion, and uttering all the Moslem
imprecations. Thus loaded with curses and
shouts, they rushed unwittingly into a
Turkish part of the city, where they were
recognized as Christians. They were at
! tackled by the Moslems, and were forced into
an entire abandonment of their religion, and
have become Moslems, so far as all the outer
ordinances are concerned.

Atmospheric Poison.

People have often said that no difference
can be detected in the analyzation of pure
and impure air. This is one of the vulUar
errors difficult to dislodge from the public
brain. The fact is, that the condensed air of
crowded room gives a deposit which, if
allowed TO remain for few DAYS, forms
solid, thick, glutinous mass, having strong
odor Of animal matter. Ifexamined by the
microscope, it is seen to undergo remark
able change. First ofall, it is converted into
{. vegetable growth, and this is followed by
the production of multitudes of animacules; /;
decisive proof that it must contain organic
matter, otherwise ii could not nourish
organic beings.
This was the result arrived at by DR..
Angus Smith, in his beautiful experiments
on the air and water of towns, where he
showed how the lungs and skin gave out
organic matter which is in itself a deadly
poison, producing headache, sickness, disease,
or epidemic, according to its strength. Why,
if "a few drops of the liquid matter, obtained
by the condemnation of the air of foul
locality, introduced into the vein of dog,
can produce death, with the usual phenom-
ena OF typhus fever" what incalculable evil
must II not produce ON those human beings
who breathe 1t again and again, rendered
fouler and less capable Of sustaining life with
every breath drawn2
Such contamination Of the air, and conse-
quent hot-bed of fever and epidemic, il is
easily within the power of man to remove.
Ventilation and cleanliness will do all, SO
far as the abolition of this evil goes, and
ventilation and cleanliness are not miracles
to be prayed for, but certain results of
common obedience 10 the laws OF God.--

Mountains Considered rs to their Use.


Rev. 4. Starr King, in his work on The
White Hills: Their Legends, Landscape and
Poetry thus pleasantly discourses upon one
of the uses of mountains:
MIR. Ruskin notes it as one of the most
prominent uses of mountains that they cause
perpetual changes in the soils of the earth,
The physical geographers assure us that If
the whole matter of the Alps were shoveled
out over Europe, the level of the Continent
would be raised about twenty feet. And
this process of leveling is continually going
on. BY calculation which he made in the
valley Of Chamouni, Mr.. Ruskin believes
that one of the Insignificant runlets, only
four inches wide and four inches deep, car
ries down from Mount Blanc eighty tuns of
granite-dust year; at which rate of theft at
least $4,000 tuns of the substance OF that
mountain must be yearly transformed into
drift sand by the streams, and distributed
upon the plain below.
On Whiteface Mountain Of the Sandwich
group, O slide took place in 1920, which
hurled down huge blocks of granite, sienite
quartz, felspar and trap-rocks, and cut a
deep ravine in the sides of the mountain,
several miles in extent. But compensation
was made in part for its destructive fury.
An extensive meadow at the base, which had
borne only wild, coarse grasses, was rendered
more fertile by the fine sediment, here and
there four or five feet in depth, that was dis
tributed upon il, and now produces excellent
grass and white clover. Take century or
two into account, and we find the mountains
fertilizing the soil by the minerals they re-
store it to compensate the wastes OF the
harvests.. The hills, which, compared with
living beings, seem everlasting, are in truth,
rs perishing as-they.-hs veins of flowing
fountains weary the mountain heart as the
crimson pulse does ours; the natural force of
the iron crag is abated In its appointed time
like the strength of the sinews in human
old age; and it is but the lapse of the longer
years of decay which, in the sight of its
Creator, distinguishes the mountain range
from the moth and the worm.

4 Victim of Vicissitude-rhs Death of One
of the Zaphis.

= victim of Vicissitude-The Death of One
of the Zaphis.
The CoIum1is-ttGall Courier mentions, in
inferior English, the deafh~at<a person well
known as Zdphas in the mining districts of
California, the incidents of whose life present
a strange eventful history" He was a
Frenchman by birth, respectfully connected,
and well educated; -Was- teR-severaL-Tears-f4r
the French army of Aigiers in which he was
one of the Zaphis, or Algerine cavalry-one
Of the finest cavalry corps in the world, his
services in which were referred to with
pride. In 1852 he came to California, full of
Vigor and hope, struggled on .manfully for
years, toiling as miner in the neighbOrhood
OF French Camp, and other places around
Columbia, with answering industry, and
realized snug little sum; but when the
rush to Fraser River was at its hight. he
went TO that country, and, like thousands of
Others, he came back destitute. He went to
work again, mining, hoping to retrieve his
losses, but his wife and children, who live in
France, wrote to him few months ago to
come home, appealing to him in such forcible
language that the thought of his inability to
comply with their request drove him mad
not fur'ously, raving mad, for that would
have secured hiscare and comfort; but his was
thai. quiet, harmless madness-a perfect
death OF all hope, pride and ambitiOn-that
those afflicted with are suffered to roam
about unnoticed and unknown.
Since the receipt of that letter he has never
been himself has not worked any, but
wandered about from place to place, without
apurpose, Nd at the expense Of IA few of his
countrymen. He would not live with any
one, nor enter their houses, but preferred to
sleep out in the streets. For several weeks
past he has slept in a hole under the road,
on Jaeks0n-street. His hard fare and ex-
peeure brought on disease, till finally the
poor fellow could not help himself. When
the iacts came TO the notice Of our City
Marshal, he had the unfortunate man con-
veyed TO the Calabo0se (the only public
building we hayeA and had him we'll cared
for. Nothing, however, could raise him
from bis deep dependency, and in this con-
dition he died.
