FACTS ABOUT TIE JE US.

A recent official statement rs TO
the present proportion of the Jewish
to the earth's population shows that
in Palestine the Israelites now form
but a small community. From there
they seem to have migrated to the
northern part of Africa and to the re-
gion between the lower Danube and
the Baltic, in which it is estimated
there are about four million lsraelites.
Everywhere the race is reported to
be increasing. 1t is singular to note
now how widely they are scattered,
and in strange and out-of-the-way
corners they have settled down.
Tinbuctoo has Jewish colony near
Iy all merchants. The other Jews in
AFRICA are the FaLaschss, or Abyssin-
fan black Jews, and few European
Jews at the Cape of Good Hope.
There are numerous Jewish colonies
in Yemen and Nedscsan, in Wes-
tern Arabia. 1t has long been known
that there are Jews Persia and the
countries on the Euphrates ; in the
Turcoman countries they inhabit the
four fortresses of Scherisebs, Schama-
tan, Kitab and Urta Kurgan, and
thirty small villages, residing in
separate quarter, but treated on an
equal footing with the inhabitants,
though they have to pay higher tax
es. There are also Jews in China,
and in Cochin China there are bot b
white and black Jews. The white
Jews have q tradition according to
which their ancestors, numbering
ten thousand, settled at CrauganOre,
on the coast of Malabar, after the
destruction of the Temple, about the
year A. d. 70.
