AN OLD MAP OF PALESTINE.
Valuable Find Made in the British
 Museum

SAAoaO1S q iHN N1aue In kha British
 Museum.
 A map that is destined to prove of practical benefit to Bible students and scholars generally was recently dis covered hidden in the midst of a lot of musty manuscripts found in the British museum. The map shows 3 plan of Jerusalem made in the seventh century and contains as well the loca- tion of every important place in Pales- tine. The drawings were made by Marine SanudO, the elder, Venetian nobleman, who made five Journeys to the holy land to perfect his design. His aim was to arouse the Christians of Europe to the importance of Palestine and to urge them to another crusade against the Moslem invaders who had captured Jerusalem in 636, under the command of Khalif Omar. The old map is carefully drawn to correspond to some scale of measurement which the discoverers have not yet been able to determine. Palestine is di- yided into eighty-one equal spaces in length and twenty three in width. Many of the identifcations of the his toric spots of sacred and profane his tory, the scenes of various battles and the tombs of the prophets and kings, for instance, are better placed in the Italian map than in more modern plans of the holy land The map, of course, is some hundreds of years re- moved from the actual time of the Sa- Vior's life upon earth, but it is nearer the destruction of Jerusalem by some 1,20O years than the world of today. Even the latest books issued on Pales- tine have very vague knowledge of the actual sites of the holy places. so that the map of the old Italian is destined to furnish light for subject that is seen at present only through a glass darkly.

GET A MOVE ON.

Some time ago a committee was form
ed to take charge of River park, when
it should be handed over to the uses Of
the public. AS River park has not been
so handed over, the committee has not
acted. But might it not be wise for
some member of that committee to in
terview the Minister of the Interior and
get from him some definite views with
regard to that piece of ground. 1t is
certainly not being put to the use the
Legislature intended.
The laws which set aside River park
says, Sections 1.-The Minister of the In
terror and his successors in office are
hereby authorized and directed to con-
vert all the property named in Section
/ of this act, in said Honolulu into free
and public recreation grounds and to
maintain the same as such for the use
and benefit of the public" Section 3
says that This act shall take effect
from the date of its publication"
The act was approved May II, 1898,
and was published a few days after
wards. All the notice the Minister of
the Interior has paid to the act has
been to turn the land which the Legis-

1t has taken a long time to right a
wrong, but at last those who have
championed the cause of Dreyfus, have
succeeded in their efforts, and the much
wronged man will land in France either
tomorrow or the next day. The peculiar
temperament of the French people is
strongly shown in this long fought bat
tel for justice. In spite of the fact that
evidence has piled up showing that
Dreyfus is innocent, there is still large
party which is bitterly opposed to hav-
ing the case opened up. 1t is animated
by pures prejudice, and has not the
slightest ideaNof fair play. In America
or in England such a set of facts would
call forth the sense of fair play at once,
and the idea would be, give the poor
fellow a chance. But prejudice in
France will not be reasoned with. The
anti-Semitic feeling, a survival of the
blind prejudice and ignorance of the
Middle Ages, has much to do with tile
attitude against Dreyfus. 1t is an at
titude of mind which is disgraceful to a
nation. Then again, the Dreyfus incl
dent is being used as a lever against the
Republic We have not seen the end of
the drama yet. 1t may be that there is
a great tragedy in store.

ground, into a quarry for road material.
From the moment the act was published
the Minister of the Interior, or the Sup
erintendent of Public Works, or the
Road Supervisor had no more right to
dig road material out of the park land
than any private party had, They had
no more right to divert soil which had
ben set aside for specific uses, to entire
ly different purposes, than they have 70
use the money appropriated for dredg-
ing Lahaina landing to the extension of
Kihei wharf, or any similar juggle with
funds
If this place which has been set aside
for public recreation had been for the
benefit of a different class doubtless
there would have been no trouble about
putting it in order, and handing it over
If instead of being River park, it had
been Kapiolani park that was waiting
there would have been a grand scramble
to turn it over, for the residence prop
erty about Kapiolani park is occupied
by influential people. But who cares
whether a play ground for the swarm
of children out Palama way is handed
over this year or ten years hence, GER
tainly neither the Minister of the In
terror nor the Superintendent of Public
Works. And if these are directly to
blame, the other Cabinet officers are
also to blame, in that they allow fiimsy
excuses to prevent a necessary public
improvement being carried out.
elapsed since the publication of the
law, and River park is no nearer reali-
cation as public recreation ground,
than it was when the subject was first
discussed before the Legislature of 1898
met. The matter then was largely agi-
tated. and the press of the city was
united in urging it upon public atten-
ton. Having succeeded in getting a
law passed, making oyer the property
for public purposes, the press consid-
cred its work was done. Experience has
taught the lesson however, that It is
one thing to pass a law through the
Legislature and quite different thing
to have it carried out The power of in
ertia will prevent or block the progress
of any improvement. If, however, as sug-
gested at the beginning of this article,
the philanthropic people who take an
interest in the establishment of the
park and play ground would bestir
themselves, and put as much energy in
to their demands as they have done to
make other things a success, the power
of inertia will have to give way, and the
children of Palama will cease to be
neglected.

inquiry.

The progress of the United States as
manufacturing nation is simply Won
derful. Three years ago during the
month of March the exported manufac-
tured goods amounted to 1925, 1876.
This year during the month of March
the exports of manufactured good
amounted to $S6025,19 This is 80 per
cent more than was exported a year
ago, and pretty close on to double what
it was three years ago. This expansion
of trade means expansion of trading
posts and commercial influence. It
means a larger navy to protect the
goods of it's citizens and see that their
rights are not abused. Indeed the COM
mercial force of the United States has
driven her forward on the line of poll
tical expansion.

A CLASH.

The friction between civilian and
military men, to which attention was
called when the news from the Philip
pines was received by last mail, has
ended in an open rupture, and the
civilian has retired. 1t was inevitable
that this should be so. AS long as the
sword is being used, especially with an
ignorant population like that of the
Philippines, it is no use putting forward
another means of a solution of the ques-
ton. Once an appeal to the sword is
made, there should be no solution save
submission.
The presence of the Peace commission
in the Philippines has in all human
probability prolonged the war, and
caused the loss of many more lives on
both sides. The Filipinos regard the
Peace commissioners as confession of
weakness. They cannot realize that we
want the war to cease from humane
reasons. 1t is only superior force that
can teach them the lesson, and the
sooner it is learned the better. The
peace party in the United States is
responsible for very many lives.

Secretary Wilson seems very sangune
that the United States viii in time sup
ply the whole of the sugar required by
the nation and he also looks forward to
producing all the rice that is needed.
But sanguine as he is, it does not seem
likely that the mainland will produce
all its sugar for some time yet. At
present the mainland only raises 16 per
cent of it's needed supply, and it must be
remembered that the consumption of
sugar as we'll as of coffee is constantly
upon the increase. 1t does not look as
if we need worry about our sugar pro-
duction for good four or five years to

men belonging to the Mokulele, who put
to sea ten days ago in a crazy skiff.
Nothing has been. heard of them, and
news has been received from the rock
bound villages of Napali. There should
be an official investigation into this loss
of life. The men We're known to be
drunk, had been drunk for days, and
were in no sense responsible for their
actions. 1t looks very much as if the
deputy sheriff of Hanalei should have
arrested them in the first instance In
stead of simply warning them to clear
out. Then, to allow five drunken mon
to start upon such an expedition in a
crazy skiff does not look at all the right
thing. The matter will bear searching

The Indian nnd Water.

The American Indian, be his tribe
what it may, has no great fondness for
water taken internally, and no use at
all for it as an external application.
One or two quarts of water will carry
family through day, and even in
the arid regions of New Mexico and
Arizona, where the atmosphere takes
up moisture from the body before it
reaches tho surface Of the skin, the
per capita of water used is small. Per-
haps the scarcity of that fluid has
something to do with the wonderful
economy in its use which prevails, for
it is almost never applied to the body,
with the single exception that no In
dian will lose an opportunity to wash
his long, glossy black hair. Of their
hair they are as proud as any woman,
and devote much time and attention
to its proper care, even sacrificing a
small quantity of the precious water
now and then for that purpose. Two
quarts, with the bruised roots Of the
yucca, OF soap weed, are all that is
necessary for this purpose. As might
be expected under these conditions
the tribes are periodically visited by
dreadful epidemics of smallpox, which
often decimate them. New York Post.

years ago he proclaimed the coming
power of the South in all industrial
pursuits, and heralded it not as dis
aster to Pennsylvania and to New
England, but as an added strength to
the industrial power of the country.
"The development of the South, said
he, "means the enrichment of the ma
tion." In this light the progress of
the South should be watched, for
while its industrial upbuilding may
mean the changing of some forms of
industry in other sections, there is
versatility enough in our people and
in our country to find a new avenue
for the employment of brains and
energy and capital for every one that
may be closed by changing business
conditions. New England may yield
the sceptre of cotton-manufacturing
to the South, to the vast enrichment
of the South, but New England will
find new openings for its tireless
energy and its accumulated capital.
