In the surface of the sea is mirrored
the mountain from which Jesus spoke
to the multitude. On this sea floated
the boat from the deck of which the
Great Teacher spoke to the multitudes
on the shore and around it rise the
same mountains which echoed His
voice. The waters are the same as
those upon which He walked in the
fourth watch of the night and winds,
similar to those He babe BE still"

word still remains.
Issuing from the southern extremity
of the lake, the Jordan enters a road
valley, which is designated in the
Bible as the plain. Its width varies
from five to ten miles. From Galilee to
the Dead sea no bridge spans the
stream. Its course is through a deep
chasm or assure in the earth's crust.
As 1t Enters the Dead Sea,
it is very shallow, it's depth not ex-
ceeding three or four feet. This body
of water, which marks the southern
boundary of the valley. is one of the
wonders of the world. 1t lies between
the mountains of Moab on the cast
and those of Hebron on the west. The
locality is that of the ancient vale of
Siddim, which Lot selected wheH part
ing from Abraham. The sea is sup
posed to have been formed by an
earthquake, accompanied by volcanic
action. The valley appears to have
sunk to a great depth and the waters
of the Jordan flowing in produced the
sea which was made intensely salt by
the saline strata exposed to their ac-
ton. In this great catastrophe the
cities OF Sodom and Gomorrah were de-
stroyed and it is supposed to have
taken place about 1900 years before
the mission of Christ.
In this mysterious body of water is
lost the river which drains the valley
of the Jordan. the lane which will for
ever live in story because it was the
scene of the iabors of Him who prom
Used eternal life.

President Hill Shows Railroad Men n
Trick OF Their Trade.
One of the most versatile men in the
country is James J. Hill, president of
the Great Northern Railroad. He has
a comprehensive grasp of the details
Of ra%ilroading that few men possess.
Since he began to pay close attention
to the financial side of r~ailroading,
public attention has been somewhat

cured recently, however, shows that
Mr.. Hill is as practical as ever. While
on a tour over the Great Northern road
his train. which was running down a
steep grade. became derailed. Run
ming at a low rate of speed as the
train was, no damage vas sustained
by the officials further than a general
shaking up. Mr.. Hill was the first
mar to aiight when the train stopped
after running several rods along the
ties. He found hat the engine had
been thrown from the rails and stood
watching the Intellectual efforts of the
train crew to place the engine back
on the track. Jackscrews We're used,
but the men did not seem to thorough
ly understand the work.
That won't do" said Mr.. Hill.
Your jacks won't lift when in that
position"
But the men applied the levers,
thinking that they would show the
president that they understood their
business. The jacks slipped. letting
the %ponderous machine down on the
ties with a bump.
Let me set that jack" said Mr..
Hill. Il don't think it will slip then
and grabbing the screw. he set it at
an incline to his own satisfaction and
after throwing a little sand on the
top and bottom he exclaimed, Now,
go ahead"
The trainmen were a little dubious
at first, but they applied the levers
and the huge machine slewly lifted it.

the Dead sea shimmers in the sunlight,
but the spirit and the life of the val

quake and time have contributed to
the surrounding scenes of ruin.
h valley of the Jordan stretches
from north to south in the eastern part
of Palestine. The river is formed from
the waters Of springs
Gushing From the Labanon Mountains
and Mount Hermon. For a number OF
miles its course is through a wildly
picturesque country. Mountains tower
above either side and the stream
dashes over dizzy precipices and
through deep and rocky chasms. 1t
varies greatly in width and depth. In
some places it Is not more than fifty
yards wide and from three to seven
feet deep. Its source is about LOO
feet above the Mediterranean sea
but where it flows into the Dead
sea it Is 1916 feet below this
level. In a direct line from its
source to its mouth it is 100 feet
miles long, but its course is so wind
ing that within a suace of sixty miles
long and from four to five miles
broad it %traverses at least 200 miles,
and during this time plunges over
twenty-seven formidable rapids. Be-
fore it spreads into Lake Meron, now
called Hulch, it struggles through a
morass which is thickly
with papyrus. On leaving this lake
the river is sluggish and turbid. but
is soon purified and becomes a tor
rem rushing between small islands
and rocks thickly set with oleanders.
About two miles below Lake Meron
is jacobs Bridge, where Jacob on his
return from Mesopotamia is said to
have crossed. 1t was built after the
crusades. probably in connection with
the caravan route from Egypt to Da-

MARTINELLI A CARDINAL NOW
Eleven Other Prelates EIeVated-POpe
in Pessinistic Mood.

Eleven Other Prelates EIevated-Pope
in Pessimistic Mood.
A dispatch from Rome yesterday says: At
the consistory held today Archbishop Mar
tinelli, the papal delegate in the United
States, was preconiZed a cardinal. Eleven
other cardinals We're created.
The pope expressed great afI1iction at the
simultaneous revival in several parts of
Europe Of hostilities against the church. He
also spoke of the sadness Of the law against
religious associations in France, which had
not deserved such a calamity. The pontiff
also dwelt on the inconsistency Of coun-
try which proclaims liberty for. all, while
refusing even the existence of associations
whose members made profession of prac-
ticing the precepts of the gospel. He spoke
of the recent tumultuOuS demonstrations in
Spain and Portugal, which had aroused ap-
prehension that even worse events Were in
store for Italy.
The pope then alluded to the painful DO
sition in which the papacy was kept, and
referred particularly to the divorce bill
which will probably be submitted to parlia-
ment.
The pope. in his allocution, said sad and
dangerous events had come to pass, and
were becoming more serious and spreading
from one part Of Europe to another Sew
eral states widely separated, but united by
an identical desire, had entered into an
open war against religion. The campaign
cations in order to destroy them gradually.
Neither common law nor equity nor the
deserts of the congregations have prevailed
to prevent their destruction. The desire
was also manifested to prevent the youth
from being educated by the congregations,
Of whom many pupils had become iIlustrf-
ouS
The pontiff then spoke of the position of
the pope. which he said was most shame
full and disagreeable.
Abiding to the divorce bill drawn up by
a socialist deputy of the Italian chamber
the pope said: ITO the ancient insults lev
eled at the church, it is desired to add an
other, profaning the sanctity Of Christian
marriage and destroying the bases of do
mestic society,"
The pope deplored the seriousness of the
present times, and foresaw a still grayer
outlook In the future. He urged society to
have recourse to the light of God, and con-
cluded by announcing the appointment OF
the new cardinals, Of whom Mgr Della
Voice and Mgr. San Miniatelli are reserved
In petto.
The names Of the new cardinals are as
follows: Mgr. Martinelli, Mgr Fripett. Mgr
cabagnis, Mgr. San Miniatelii, Mgr Ceuna-
ri, Mgr. Della Voice. the archbishop of
Benevento. the archbishop Of Ferrara. the
archbishop of Prague. the archbishop of
Cracow. the bishop of Verona and the bish-
op OF Pavia.

Work Of Audubon Society.

At a meeting Of the executive committee
Of the Audubon Society, held yesterday
afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Wallace

plans for the work of the immediate future
were considered and adopted. These in
cluded members meeting toward the end

several well-known local ornithologists will
be present to give desired information in
response to such questions may be

the Washington Club. the afternoon of
May 3. the feature of which will be a riano
recital by Miss Cady of New York, and a
series Of Saturday field meetings during
May, which will be held at several favor
able localities about Washington.
The field meetings are novelty, and are
designed to give the members of the So
ciety an opportunity to become better ac-
quainted with the birds. Each will be in
charge of an expert ornithologist.

Under Consideration.

The District Commissioners have under
consideration a request of Prof. Cleveland
Able of 2017 L street that the keeping of
honey bees, especially those of the italian
variety, be made legal and allowable with
in the city limits under such regulations
as may be necessary for the protection OF
those who wish to prosecute this method of
making livelihood. 1t is understood that
the matter was referred to the Secretary
of Agriculture for suggestions some months
ago, when a similar request was made,
and Prof. Able says if no action has been
taken by that official the subject should be
revived.
1.-The bees" he says, Ordinarily attend
to their business without harming any
body. 1t requires great deal of irritation
from outside parties to induce them to
sting, and they are no more hurtful than
horses, dogs or CATS
