the possible political consequences. \
William II. is not, By any MEANS,
the first Emperor of Teutonic stock
to set foot in Palestine. For nearly
two, centuries the expulsion Of the iin'-.}I in
fdel from the Holy Land was held to-
be the sacred duty of the heads of the
Holy Roman Empire. In the Second
Crusade the Emperor Conrad organ;5.4s
lied the great expedition which cost
the loss of many thousands in the
march across Asia Minor; ultimately
reaching Ptolemais, he laid siege to-
Damascus in 114S. It is true that
the siege ended in catastrophe, but
the German bearer Of the cross;
had, at least, done his best to-
succor the Christian kingdom Of:
Jerusalem. About forty years later
the Hohenstaufen Emperor, Frederick
I. (Barbarossa), led German host toe.
Constantinople, and thence acr oss,
Anatolia, but he was not fated to sep
Syria, being drowned in Cilic inn
river. His grandson, Frederick Is,
was more fortunate. Proceeding by.
sea from Italy to Ptolemais, he o b.
tanned, in 1929, the surrender of the
whole of Jerusalem, with the exception
of the Mosque of Omar, and the ress..
toration to the Christians of the towns
of JaAa, Nazareth and Bethlehem. In
the Church of the Sepulchre he
crowned himself King of jerusalem
claiming the title by right of his wife,
Iolante, daughter of the Latin Em7s
peror of Constantinople. In 1910
Richard, Earl of Cornwall, who.
though On Englishman, became King
of the Romans and German Emperor,
headed an expedition to Palestine,
and, by treaty with the Mohammed dan
ruler of Syria, obtained terms even
more favorable to the Christians than
Frederick II. had secured. In 1274.

Dri,,inr Through a Coal Reef.

News has been received in Sydney,
Australia, of the progress of the scien-
tifc party under the auspices Of the
Royal society of London, guided by
Professor Finckh, who left Sydney
June l, for Funafute island, Samoan
group, to complete the work of boring
with a diamond drill the atoll at
Funafute, to prove the nature of the
original foundations upon which the
corals began to build. Scientists have
reached 720 feet, and have struck into
dolomitic rock. The natives at first
watched the proceedings with super
stitious awe and declined to aid in
putting the heavy machinery in place,
but afterward hundreds Of them
offered their servicea gratis, and
brought messages of welcome from
the chiefs Of several tribes, Chicago

,umstances it might regain much that

cumstances it might regain much that
it has lost. If, through On arrange
ment with the Sultan, the Germans
were permitted to undertake the task,
they would undoubtedly be able,
through the construction of railways
and the stimulation of industry and
trade, to regenerate the whole of west
lern Asia from the Tigris to the Bos-
phorus. The suspicion that William
IL has designs in this direction has,
DsturaEg excited ealousy in Paris
and st. Petersburg. France has long
considered that she has species OF
pre-emptive right to Syria, and has,
more than once, assumed tutelary
role toward the Christian inhabitants
of that country. Russia, from her
coign of vantage in Armenia, contem-
plates the prospect of absorbing Ana
tolia from the northeast, and has no
desire to. see her path obstructed by
German :nterposition. The Russian
censor allows the well-klown St.
Petersburg paper, the Novoye Vremya,
to declare that "the political signif.
canee of the German Emperor's trip
to Palestine is beyond all doubt. He
evidently desires to fap.iliarize himself
with Asia Minor, the theatre of the
German colonization movement in the
near future. All recent efforts have
tended to impel German emigration to
that quarter.
Forty new photographs of the EN-
peror William have been taken in the
tropical uniform which he wears on
his journey to the East. The uniform
is of q thin light brown material. The
coat is comfortable and little loose,
and bears the badges of general and
the cords of the guards. The trousers
are tight-ftting, and have broad red
stripes, and are worn with high yellow
boots. The scabbard of the sabre is
of brown leather. The light-colored
helmet is adorned with the Prussian
eagle in front. The photographs
His Majesty alone, on foot
and on horseback, in company with
General Won Piessen, Grand Master OF
the Horse; Count Wedel and Adjutant-
General Won Scholl, who are also in
tropical uniform, and, lastly, His Maj
esty alone in British Uniform.

There is n clock in Brussels, Bel

The rate at which Zulus can travel
in an emergency is astonishing. Some
will cover as much as fifty miles in
six hours. Eight miles an hour is an
ordinary pace.
No parental care ever falls to the
lot of single member of the insect
tribe. In general, the eggs of an in
sect are destined to be Matched long
after the parents are dead, so that
most insects are born orphans.
A peculiar law, in regard to life in
surance, prevails in Germany. If a
man whose life is insured loses both
hands, he can at once claim the full
amount of insurance, on the ground
that he has been deprived of the
means of support.
The body of woman buried in
Winchester, KY, thirty-three years
ago was recently exhumed and found
to be petriied. The body was buried
in metallic casket. The face had a
natural appearance, and in one hand
was a rose which was perfect in its
petrified shape.

Thrilling Dive.

AT the recent water sport exhibition
in London of the Hex and Scottish
Swimming Clubs several startling
feats were shown. The hardy Scots
aroused great enthusiasm by showing
how company of hardy Highlanders
could swim across stream in action
and keep their rifles in readiness for
work. But the crowning feat was the
twin brothers diving act, done by two
members of the Hex Club, evenly
matched in height and weight. The
distance diyed was not excessive, but
itrequired nice Judgment for the two
young men, hand in hand and clasping
each others bodies, to leap at exactly
the same moment. turn in air with the
same curve and descend, beautiful
picture of harmonious repose, plump

Harvest Festivals.

When fears of wet weather az d
blights no longer harass the husband
man, and the gollen sheaves have
been borne home through sunshine
scarcely more golden, festivity seems
to have q just excuse for being.
The best authorities regard this GUS
tom as of jewish origin, and the
heather followed the example Of the
chosen race in offering up, at the end
of the harvest, the first fruits to their
gods. The Jews reioiced and feasted
at the conclusion of reapinG-tide, not
only from a sense of gladress at labor
finished, but because they were under
religious obligations so to do. The
agricultural significance of the three
great festivals of the Jewish year is
clearly set forth in the twenty-third
chapter of Exodus and the twenty
third chapter of us.-Lippin'

Rudolph of Hapsburg, having gained
the imperial crown, pledged himself
to join in q crusade, but troubles in
Germany detained him and he failed
to fulfil his VOW. Thus we see that,
in his visit TO the Holy Land and IN
his declared intention to promote the
security anc: welfare of his fellow
Christians in that country, William
II. is recurring to duty which was
recognized by the German Emperors
for almost two hundred years after
the Christian kingdom of Jerusalem
was founded by Godfrey of Bouillon,
Duke of that very Lorraine which in
our day has been restored to Ger

ARE THEY SUPERSTITioUs4

Motormen and Gsipmen Have Grave Fears
Of Runnins Over Any Animal.
II WONDER" said an observer,
whether motOrmen and gripmen are
superstitious, or whether 1t is danger
GUS to run car over even small crea-
lures, or whether the men are simply
gentle-hearted and humane and loath
to hurt anybody or anything?
Coming In from the country while
ago on q trolley car, and coming like
chain lightning, too, we saw some
chickens ahead on the track. The
motorman shut her off and put the
brake on with celebrity and strength
that indicated that he would have re-
versed the car II he could. 1t was
clear that he didn't want to touch a
chick, and we didn't. The birds ran
across the track with wings a-fapping
and their feet a-going as fast as they
could make 'em. They didn't have
much margin Of safety, but they had
enough, and, as they topped across, the
motorman gave the car the wire again
and let her hum.
Coming down town on Broadway
cable car, the other night, l felt the
brake grip as we were rounding the
curve into Seventh avenue from Fifty
third street. An entirely new exper-
ience-for that curve is taken with a
running start to get around and down
to where they want to 60, and l knew
they wouldn't shut her off there, un-
less there was very good reason for 1t
and ! looked ahead expecting to see
a very large man, at least, or some
other equally impressive object on the
track, but it was just dog, and not
very big dog either, black and white
shaggy dog trotting across the track
and just clearing it-trotting along
easily, not hurrying a bit, but taking
its time to cross over.
"And the gripman was as careful to
keep clear of the dog as the motor
man had been Of the chickens"
