Losses at sea sustained by the mer-
chant service Of the world in the last

FASCINATING CAIRO.
The Most Picturesque and interesting
of Oriental Cities.

The Most Picturesque and Interesting
of Oriental Cities.
From its founding in 900 by the
Fatimite calffs, as IN offshoot Of the
tented settlement of Eostat, to the pres
ent rule Of Abbas Pasha, seventh Khe-
dive. or viceroy, of the dynasty of Me-
hemit Ali, Cairo-apital of Egypt,
metropolis Of the African teaching-has
had a romantic history. Scene Of fa-
nous exploits of great personages,
from Saladin to Napoleon, of sanguin-
ary conflicts between Christianity and
Islamism, and the memorable massacre
of the Mamclukes; cradle Of religion
and cults; home of the ARABIAN
Nights" tales; the place where lasting
principles of philosophy and science
were conceived, and where Bible
scenes were laid, Cairo has become the
meeting-ground of winter idlers from
every cline.
Cairo looks old, but comparatively Is
not; Alexandria has the appearance of
newness, but was twelve hundred
years old before the first stone of the
present capital was laid. But the
Cairo of to-day is only the develop
ment of Fostat. Old Cairo. New Baby
Ion. and Heliopolis. probably. There
has always been a great city there or
thcreabouts, changing in appellation
with its locale.
The visit to Egypt has become almost
as essential to Americans-and fully
half of the eight thousand winter visit
ors are from the States-as the pilgrim
age of good Mohamlnedans to Mecca.
The Mohammedans' religion takes
them but once to the sacred city of the
prophet, but pleasure draws those IA
vored by fortune to the Nile capital
time after time. Cairo is more than in
teresting; it is fascinating. The anti
quarian. the student. and the savant
have always been at home there; and
the invalid, real or imaginary. seeking
a climate. finds in and about the khe-
dival city the superlative of air and
temperature.
Artists never weary of reproducing
Cairo's picturesque cenes and vivid
colorings. The blue of the skies, the
splendor of the setting sun, the Turner.
esque afterglow, and the delicate
browns of the desert, seem to be best
suggested in water-colors. Like Venice,
Egypt demands q master hand in oils.
The traveller of impressionable ma
ture yields to the fascination Of Cairo's
quaint Eastern life, as perfect as If met
far beyond the Orient's threshold, and
doubly satisfying, because found with
in a half-hour of the creature comforts
of hotels %conspicuously modern. To
walk the streets of an Oriental capital
wherein history has been made, be-
tween meals, as it were, and delve by
day in museums and mosques perpetu-
ating a mysterious past, and dine de
rigueur in the evening. with the best
music in Europe at hand, explains q
charm that Cairo has for mortals lik-
ing to witness Eastern life provided
they are not compelled to become a part
of it. If Egypt disappoints, the indie
cisive idler can in four or five days be
back in Paris or the Riyiera.-Century.
