Tetuan the Jews number between 5000
and 5000, more than one-half of the en-
tire population. The Moorish Jews are
not quite as enlightened as their race in
European countries, but are greatly
superior to their fellow-citizens Of other
races in Morocco. The women are very
handsome and the men dignified, cour-
teous and diligent. AS might be sup
posed they are the commercial men, the
financial agents and brokers every
where, and are generally reputed for
their probity, a character they do not
get in some other countries. Their
Mussulman rulers compel the Jews
to live in a separate quarter of the town,
but these ghetto" are invariably the
cleanest and most attractive parts, and
always the most healthy.
The famous French traveller, Pierre
Lott, gives in one of his charming books
a vivid description of a Jewish home
which he visited in Tetuan. While the
exterior was shabby and gloomy, he
says, "once inside we were almostdazed
In the presence of a singular luxury.
We are received and welcomed in the

in an interior court, open to the sky,
running quite around which are COL
onllade and ornamented arcades. The

are arabesques of infinitely varied de-
sign and astonishing lace work carved
in stone, the whole picked out in blue,

MAXIM's NEW AIRsHIP.
Inventor Says He Has Crossed
America with 1t.
Announces, in Addition, That mt Last
He Has Perfected an Aerial Craft
Capable of Travelling 100
H'N ~ Miles nm Hour.

Aerial navigation is said to be an ac-
conplished fact. Hiram S. Maxim, in
ventor of the Maxim gun, who has spent
years on the invention of an airship,
has built one of yewKensington alumni
num-, He says that he has travelled
across. the continent and back in his
strange vessel, and has espeeded lite 100
some months ago II was anhoSneed
that the Pittsburgh Reduction. company
had received large order from he at.
lantic and Pacific Aerial Navigation
company. The order was for large
number of aluminium sheets, to be one
hundredth of an inch thick, two feet
wide and sixteen feet in length. T
bars, rivets and various other pieces of
the same material were ordered at the
same time. Not long after this the
order was duplicated. To show that the
company meant business, the cash,
amounting to several thousand dollars,
was sent with each order.
Recently the reduction company re-
ceived another order, for aluminium
from the Atlantic. and Pacific Aerial
Navigation company. This. time it was
printed on the company's letterhead,
with the names of the officers and cut
of the strange craft. Hiram S. Maxim,
the world-renowned inventor, is SUI
perintendent, of construction for the
company; c. a. Smith is president and
NJ. A. Terry. secretary. These two are
well-knoYn men in business and finan-
cial circles. of San Francisco.
Mr.. Maxim furnishes the following
description of his vessel to the Chica-
go Record. The dimensions are:
Cylinder, 3s feet inches in diameter
and 90 feet in length; length of for
ward cone, so feet; length of aftercone,

cupies 100000 cubic feet of space. The

and every part of the machine, so far as
practicable. is made of aluminium,
which was purchased of the reduction
company here. The ship will weigh
about 5000 pounds and will carry more
than ton of provisions and passengers.
The naphtha for the engine will be

stored in cases which hold enough to
drive the ship around the earth without
replenishing the tanks. The skin of the
ship is double and filed with hydrogen
gas. 1t will be confined in separate
compartments, and will be in the upper
part of the vessel and in the cones
The tall that projects upward from
the stern of the ship directs it up or
down as bird directs its movements
with its tail. The rudder changes the
course from right to left. Motive pow
er is secured by the big aeroplane at the
stern, which is driven by the naphtha
engine. \ speed of 100 miles an hour
has been attained without difficulty. At
this rate the trip across the continent
would be "a hours journey, while
Jules Verne is outdone, as Mr. Maxim is
able to make tour of the world in ten
days instead of so.
MIR. Maxim is not prepared to say
what his company proposes to do in the
airship line. A trip to the Klondike will
be made in a short time. and he doesn't
see that there is anything in the road
of him going to the pole if he feels tina {
way. He has passed the stage where be
uses the doubtful eff in speaking of
the success of his invention. Repeated
trials, he says, show that it is cont
plete success. His company proposes
to go into the business in earnest. With
an abundance of capital behind it, the
corporation proposes to construct a
large number of, these vessels of all
sizes. They will be used for carrying
passengers and fast freight, principal
ly of the character of express goods, as
the limit of weight will necessarily be
reached somewhere. The machine Mr..
Maxim has constructed costs $4,000.
Last summer great excitement was
caused in Denver, St. Louis, Chicago and
other western cities by the appearance
of what was said to be an airship, float
