Just now. 1t Is a good time to invest in Pal
estlne real estate. Corner lots are going cheap
in Jerusalem, and great numbers of the Chill
dren of Israel are said to be buying them on
easy terms. Now is the time for Israel and
Judah to re-establsh themselves on their own
soil and, as before stated, the movement is
strong that way. Several tourists, who have
lately sent reports from the Holy Land, say
that everywhere from Dan to Beersheba are
evidences of the renowned activity and ener-
gy of the Jewish race. One says that in Je-
rusalem and its neighborhood, particularly,
every plot of ground for sale is eagerly bought
up by them. They are gathering together
there from all parts If Europe, and their COM
ing looks like another crusade, save that
money and not the sword is the principal iac-
tor. 1t now really looks like business, and
may mean ultimate domini n in national
reorganization. 1t is suggested that it is en-,
trely possible for the Jews to issue among
themselves new Turkish loan Oh condition
that they should obtain the right OF govern
ing their own land under the guardianship
bt the great European powers. 1t IS further
asserted as not at all unlikely that many
wealthy Christians would be ready to assist

will begin to crush quartz on Monday next

order before they begin on any particular
