MULEY HASSAN AND THE JEWS,
He Presented to Them Only the Benevo-
lent GicIa nf His Cl,n-ao4a.

He Presented to Them Only the Benevo-
lent Side of His Character.
The Jewish subjects of Muley Has
san will sincerely lament his sudden
death. Nothing, 1t IS true, could be
much worse to our ideas than the con-
dition of the Jews under the late sui
tan, but lower depth may yet
open in the deep. Muley Hassan pre-
sented to the Jews only the benevolent:
side of his character. He showed no
countenance to the oppressors of the
Jews, says the London Jewish Chroni .
icle, and when well authenticated
abuses were brought under his notice
he did something to remove them.
About year ago an occasion arose
when Muley Hassan displayed at once
his genuine love of justice and his ori.
entail dislike of foreign interference.
The governor of Morocco citadel had
displayed more than usual vigor in ap-
plying the bastinado to the Jews. The
latter applied for redress to the minis.
tiers of foreign powers at Tangier. The
sultan resented this appeal. but RENE.
died the, abuse. Conduct thyself,'
wrote Muley Hassan to his oyer-ener
gctic officer in Morocco, towards the
Jews in the same way as thou actest
toward Mohammedans under thy ad.
ministration; in civil affairs do justice
to them, and in religious matters leave
absolutely to their rabbis the task OF
deciding them" This friendly disposi-
ton was more than shared by the Jews !
of Morocco. They had an almost ex-
aggerated fondness for Muley Hassan,
forgetting that while his active good |
will was but spasmodic the cruelties
and oppressive exactions of his depu- !,
ties were constant and never-failing
factor in the life of the Jews of his do /
minion. 1t may be that the death Of
Muley Hassan may urge forward that |
growth Of self-consciousness which |
has always preceded progress in Juda-
ism. The Jews of Morocco should not
let the opportunity slip. Let them seek |
equality before the law. If that were |
once granted to them they would show
themselves unworthy of the great race
of justice lovers to which they belong
were they to allow their rights to be
snatched from them by the small fry
of local oppressors.

THoUGHTLESS CRUELTY.
Heartrending Scenes Witnessed In South.
E,..ra

Heartrending Scenes Witnessed In South.
ern France.
Normandy and Brittany are full OF
scenes heartrending to the true lover
Of animals. The author of France OF
To-Day" describes one form of thought
less cruelty which is regularly prac-
ticed in the Pays de CauX, even by peo-
pie who are really kind and well mean
ing. She says:
To my thinking, the Pays de Caux
is very depressing. Each homestead
stands amid lines of beach and oak,
formal as toy trees of a child's mimic
garden. The trees, regularly planted
and cut at intervals, form paralleio-
gram affording shelter to farmhouse
buildings and apple orchards. You
enter this somber inclosure to light
upon an unwonted and heartrending
spectacle.
In the open space between house and
trees is a pen. perhaps two yards
square. This is the lifelong prison of
the trusty watchdog. Incredible as
it may appear, no one sees any cruelty
in thus keeping dog cooped within
iron palings from January to Decem-
ber. In fact, from its youth to old
age, never for a single moment is it al
lowed to escape. My kind host agreed
with me on the unnaturalness Of such
treatment.
"a dog, in the eyes of these good
folks" he said, sis q barking machine
aothing else"

A GOOD PROPOSITION.
Goldenda1e Wants Telephone Connection
With The DaiIes,

A move is on foot at Goldendale to
establish telephone communication
between that place and The Dale S.
The proprietors of the telephone sys-
tenn at Goldendale propose to estah-
lish line leading from that place, by
way of Centerville, to TIE Dalles. and
ask subsidy from this city of s12=
when the poles are set and 1925 wher
the line is in operation. Seufert &
Condor offer to give the use of their
line from here to the Norrows, a few
miles above the city, where the river
is little more than 800 feet in width.
and where connection with the Wash.
ington side can be made without diff
ficulties.
The projectors of this scheme pro-
pose, if the line is established, to kee,
daily bulletins in Goldendale and Cen

market in this city.

SINGING MOUNTAIN OF NEVADA.
a Musical Wonder Whose Strains wers

Musical Wonder Whose Strains Were
Long Puzzle to Prospectors.
In the Truclzee mining districts, down
the Truckee river near Pyramid lake.
is situated Nevada's musical mountain.
says the Virginia City Enterprise. This
mountain was first discovered by the
white settlers in 1858, at which time
there was some excitement in regard
to the mines found in it's neighborhood.
The d1scoverers We're a party Of pros.
pectors from the Comstock. Thev had
pitched themselves at the foot of the
mountain, and for a few evenings
thought themselves bewitched. Each
evening, little after dark, when the
air was calm and all was quiet, mys-
terious concert began. Out from the
face OF the big mountain were waited
soft strains that seemed to cause the
whole atmosphere to culver as they
Hoated over the camp. The music then
appeared to pass over until it was fts,
far away and almost lost in the dis.
tance, when, beginning with tinlzline
as of many little silver bells, there
would be fresh gush of sweet notes
from the mountain. During the day.
light hours little If the mysterious
music was heard, aud it was soon set
tied that it was not caused by the wind.
A spring near which the explorers had
pitched their tent afforded the only
good camping grounds in the neighbor-
hood, and as each new party of pros
pectors arrived at the spot the wonder
grew.
Some Piute Indians who came along
and camped at the spring were found
to be acquainted with the peculiar
musical character of the mountain.
They called it the Singing Mountain"
Some OF the men collected in the camp
became more interested in the noun
tain than in prospecting and gave
most of their time to an investigation
OF the mystery of the musical sounds
heard to proceed from it. They found
that the whole face of the mountain
was covered with thin flakes of a hard
crystalline rock, There were great
beds of these flakes. The investigators
concluded that the musical sounds
heard proceeded from this loose ma.
terial, huge drifts of which seemed to
be gradually working their way down
the steep face of the mountain. At
all events, the strains heard at the
loot OF the mountain in the evenings |
stiffness seemed to be produced by the
uniting and blending of the myriads of |
ben-like tinklings proceeding from the
immense beds of slaty debris creeping,
glacier-like, down the slope. This So
luton of the mystery of the musical |
mountain is the only one worthy of
notice. AS no mines of value were
found, the district was soon deserted |
and has Since seldom been visited.
Therefore few, except the old-time
knew much about the
Singing Mountain.

PROF. RoBINsoN's FUMl CATION
A Very Useful and Simple Invention ies'-
ed-Belief that 1t Will Give Its inventor
Fame.

In the rooms of the Board OF Healsh
yesterday afternoon an exhibition was
given OF the workings of the new fumlga-
ting apparatus invented by. Prof. ROD
inson OF Bowdoin college. Drs. Merrill
ana Cummings and Secretary Dyer OF
the Board of Health were present, also
Dr. Addison 5. Thayer who had been In
vited to be present. The machine Ie-
sembles very m"ch the ordinary STU
DENTS lamp. with the exception that
where the light, chimney and shade are
on the lamp, there is a funnel somewhat
in the form OF trunoated cone. Mid
way of this funnel is perforated disc
OF atestos, set into the funnel like a
false bottom.
Wood alcohol Is used in the apparatus.
To start 1t into operation the alcohol Is
igpited. SO that the famesswill heat the
disc. When chat begins to be red hot,
the flames are extinguished and the
fumes of the alcohol alone are allowed
to pass through the heated disc.
The reservoir. by the device such as is
used in student lamps, yields the alcohol
In quantities sufficient to allow the
fumes to pass continuously through the
disc.
AS these fumes encounter the hot as
bestors, chemical change occu.s. Just
what this change is would have to be
explained by chemist as it would be

lent for the purposes of this article is ths
statement that formio acid results, and

1t has long been known that formic
acid is one Of the best disinfectants, kill
ing the germs of disease more thorough
ly than the disinfectants in common
use. 1t is also less damaging to furni-
ture than sulphur and less offensive.
But fcrInic acid gas has not been
practical disinfectant because Of the diff
Guilty of producing it in sufficient guam

this difficulty.
The mach inc was set at work quickly,
and in two minutes was pouring the
formio acid gas into the room. The odor

Prof Robinson has tried 1t in rooms
where he has scattered diphtheria germs,
and in every case they have been found
