to Spain, France, Egypt, Italy,
and Jerusalem,

These are older and different 10 con.
struction from the others. They are
built In terraces BY the way, they
have made some important discov.
cries near these pyramids within the
last few months After much exca.
waiting they found q number Of old
tombs. These are so we'll preserved
that you can still distinguish the
colors 10 the inscriptions. The mum.
mics had all been taken away. They
also found there the tombs of several
Of the sacred bulls.
I'VE had a very peculiar experience
In Cairo. While we were there IL
rained hard on two days. 1t rained
so much that the streets became
muddy. Before that II had not rained
there for three months. It very sci.
dom rains hard. One night, while
some Of us had strayed into cafe
ohantant, we recognized among the
musicians one Of the men who had
played a sort Of guitar in the streets
Of Cairo at the Worlds Fair, He
recognized US and spoke. Several
Others Of our party saw various don.
key boys who had been here during
the Fair. I can say this: They don't
have anything much more peculiar In
the Cairo cafes chantant than We saw
at tho Worlds Fair. For alertness
and chic I will match the Cairo don.
key boys against our American news.
boys and bootblacks. They know how
to make the money.
Rode Tito Jerusalem ON y Train.
I'VE next sailed to JANA. We were
delayed q whole day In making the
landing on account Of the rough sea.
We took the train from Jsfla to
Jerusalem. The railroad is very
good, and they use locomotives made
In Baltimore. OF course Jerusalem
Is the sacred spot to almost every
person. They have lately In exca.
waiting there discovered the origina;
pavement Of the Via Sacra, or the
road over which Christ walked when
He carried the cross 10 Calvary. It
certainly would affect any person to
walk over that same road.
Jerusalem Is q very dirty town.
1t Is wonderful to see the immense
numbers Of Russians, members of tho
Greek church, who make this Dill.
grimage. They come from Russia In
boats, and then walk down to Jerusa.

march along carrying their food.
Smyrna was our next objective
point. From here few OF Us took
train for two hours ride to the On.
Client site Of Ephesus. Here we Ia.

"Athens was visited next I was
particularly interested there because

the ruins Of the Parthen0n 90 com.

than I had looked for.
Resemble Chicago Aldermen.
The modern Greeks are far infe.
rior to their glorious ancestors.
Their Deputies correspond to our
Aldermen. They ride around In dog.
carts and spend most Of their time
In finding Jobs for their constituents
and frienda There 10 much politics
In Greece. We didn't have time to
secure an audience with the king,
but I saw him out riding one day.
I'VE sailed to Constantinople and
remained there four days. We
reached there just at the beginning
OF the Ramszan or month Of fasting.
The mosques were thronged. We
attended services at St. Sophia's one
night. Fully 1000 Of the faithful
were kneeling and PROSTATE upon the
rugs on the floor. A the priest 10 q
soft, melodious tenor read and chanted
from the Koran the multitude bowed
and kissed the floor and arose again
all In unison. This rhythmic move.

lighting of the noble structure, made
1t most impressive.
Psspsd Into the sultan's Tpsssurs House,
"The next day we had the pleasure
Of seeing the Sultan's treasure house.
The crown jewels Of England and
those OF France are as nothing In
comparison. The treasures were
heaped In bowls. There were heaped
priceless gems, uncut, and gold, oil.
