of him, but when the heirs or the old
banker dismissed him from the paper
and he learned that he had been left
nothing in the will ,he became the most
bitter enemy of the family and like
wise OF all members OF theJewish race.
Since then his time and effort have
been devoted to opposing the interest
and advancement OF the Jews In
France. He Is considered a fanatic by
his countrymen and is seldom seriously
taken Despite his peculiar actions and
apparent ingratitude he is not a cow
ard and has fought several duels. He
is undoubtedly one of the most unique
characters now before the eyes OF the
French public.

The reason is simple. Long before
the introduction of wall paper Arras,

tapestries called "arras." These we're
used as wall coverings, and the men
who were employed to put them I'D

The earthquake which has occurred
on the island of Ceram must. If the
accounts of it be correct, have been one
OF the most terrible OF which we have
any record. since no fewer than 1000
people are said TO have been DESTROYED.
Ceram lies Il little 10 the northeast nf

well within the sphere Of that volcanic
activity which showed itself in the
amazing eruption Of KrakotOa-th3
greatest known in history-in 1888. 1t
is to be hoped that the earthquake
whirh has desolated the island Is not
the precursor of a new outbreak on the
part OF that tremendous volcano. 1t
will be remembered that the great
eruption was preceded by just such y
