We found ourselves encoaching

descendants Of Ishmael. and were
overwhelmed BY a storm of abuse
from delegation Of the tribe who,
having sighted US afar off, stood
awaiting us at the ford of the river
which led up Beersheba way. No day
in Petra held more anxiety than this
one did; for parting with the mutin-
Gus wretches into whose hands we had
voluntarily placed ourselves at Aka
bah, compromising with those who
held us prisoners. and arranging With
the newcomers, required an amount
of intolerable yelling and bluster
which was more interesting than
pleasant. Swords, pistols, clubs,
spears, fists and guns were all used
but nobody was hurt-very much.

flowers Large flocks were there, at
tended by their shepherds; the fella-
hin were al work, and the women,
tall and erect, were everywhere car

The fields were protected from the tor
rents by stone walls such as we saw in
the wilderness, and olive groves and
vineyards abounded. II was a CRATE

A IeRal Amulet

The plea Of insanity as defense in
criminal actions is becoming pretty
threadbare. but device by which the
same effects are secured seems to be
working admirably. Nowadays it is
the fashion TO claim that the criminal
in an action, whether it be theft, black
mail, murder, or what not, is the VIC
tim of sunstroke. Apparently sun
stroke is the most convenient thing a
person can possibly have. It allows
him TO continue his ordinary course Of
life uninterruptedly, but confers upon
him the privilege Of doing anything
his vagrant fancy may suggest, quite
unhampered by moral or legal restric-
tions.
The Irishman who described "child
of fancy" as a child who did whatever
he fancied doing was not very far out
Of the way in describing the condition
Of a man who has been so fortunate as
10 have n sunstroke. That lucky nc.
cident places him abGye responsibility.
A man in western city amused him
self recently by firing a revolver into
a crowd, wounding three persons, one
of them fatally. A physicians GER
tifcate was produced stating that,
owing to the effect of a sunstroke re-
eeived in India, the prisoner was at
times irresponsible for his actions. OF
course, there was nothing TO be said
after that, and even the idea of shut
ting the man up seemed 10 his intel
ligent and impartial judges a super
huous precaution. He was allowed to
go at large on the strength of his lucid
intervals, the inference being that the
officials themselves ware not troubled
by anything OF that sort.
II would not be difficult TO multiply
instances, although il is hardly neces-
sary; whoever has thought Of the
mater must have recognized the con-
vincing nature of the argument from
sunstroko when properly applied 10
the average jury. To one who has
any inclination toward disregard Of
the laws a sunstroke would seem 10 be
Of the greatest possible benefit. II is "a
thing, moreover, SO easy TO have, SO diff
ticult 10 disproye and 30 admirably hex-
ible IN is effects, that il would seem a
matter ol tlr most obvious policy for
whoever Is likely ever to find himself at
variance with authority to provide
himself with q certificate of sllnstroke

Fire Threatens to Complete the
/. Destruction Of the stricken
City.
About Thirty Houses Were Destroyed,
Involving a Loss Of Probably
$35,000.
Only the Veering Of the Wind Saved the
City From Almost Total De-
structiOn.

. JoHNsTowK, Pa, June 25.--It was
only due to the direction Of the wind
that the remains Of Johnstown were not
entirely wiped out by fire. The blaze
began at o'clock with the First Ward
school house, which stood ON the bank
of Stoney creek. That building stood on
the upper side of the dismal waste, which
the torrent of water swept clear across
the town. Close by the school building,
all jumbled up together, were about
thirty buildings, some of them in good
state of preservation and inhabited.
Next to these houses was street, the
only one not yet cleared of debris, and
on the opposite side was wide stretch
of ground tightly packed with frame
buildings in all manner of decrepit at
titudes. Still further above were some
of the best preserved buildings in the
city. Had the wind carried the fame
in the opposite direction fire would have
destroyed what the food had left. As
it was the fire
Caused veritable Panic
in the immediate neighborhood, as it
enveloped one house after another in
rapid succession. One OF the abandoned
houses had been hardware store, and
the explosion of a keg of powder in it
sent the burning roof flying in frag-
ments, thus increasing the danger, Men
were put to work smothering the bon
fires that stretched across the open space,
with earth, and in this manner cut off
the fires line of communication to the
threatened buildings, whose oc-
cupants were already moving the
remnants Of their furniture. This bank
ing of the bonfires with earth and the
veering of the wind 30 that the burning
elnbers were carried into Stoney creek
ended the danger in this direction. On
the other side the fire met no opposition
until it had reached the ruin packed
street. The militia and gang OF labor
ers worked hard at clearing the street
and then tore down a number of houses
on the opposite side. BY this time the
streams Of water from the fire engines
had their effect and the fire was under
control after burning for two hours, and
twenty-five or thirty houses were in
ashes. The whole population of the
valley turned out to watch the confagra-
ton and so general became the belief
that every ything remaining would go up
in smoke that in all directions people
were loading their effects on wagons
preparatory to fleeing to the hills. The
money loss will be about $35, 1000. The
fire was caused by three small boys set
ting fire to pile of rubbish.
