AN INTERESTING RELIC

Among the many interesting relics
of the civil wal is one recently dis
covered by a United States dredgeboat
near jacksonville, Fla. This relic was
in the shape of a 4-inch shell, fully
loaded and in good condition. The
Florida Times Onion, winch teiis the
story of the find, says that it has been
recalled by a veteran of the civil wal
period that during the invasion of the
st. Johns river by federal gunboats, a
number of shells similar to the one
found were sent at the boats from the
battery below Jacksonville, and that
the shell found is doubtless one that
fell short and went into the river. The
Times-Union adds: "The shell is in a
good state of preservation. 1t is fouI
inches in diameter and wrapped with
a leaden band, placed on it for the pur-
pose of causing the shell to make num-
erous revolutions while going through
the air, i'll order that it strike with
great force and discharge. Aboard
the Winyah Bay is a cannon ball that
was sucked up at Key West while the
boat was engaged in clearing the har-
Dor last year. The ball is loaded, and

! those familiar with such missiles have

They found a strange palace indeed. For
more than 900 years of loneliness the red
sands OF Arabia had piled around it. For
more than 1000 years probably nc human
foot had entered II. Yet It looked out over
the illimitible deserts, not a ruin, but a
noble structure with all its lines intact.
There was only one door to the whole
building. Nothing could induce the Arabs
to enter and the Austrians went in alone.
To their great delight they found the
great wall paintings of which the legends
had told. The colors we're still we'll pre-
served and the pictures showed the life and
history of centuries before Christ and OF
a nation and kings whose names have been
only legends for twenty centuries.
The travellers had been in the castle a
little more than an hour when shots rang

The explorers who were turned back were
luckier than most Of those who got through.
Most of them never returned. The few
who did had little TO tell except stories
OF fights with Bedouins and narrow es-
capes. None Of them saw the "GhOst Pal

DR.. Musil was more fortunate. In 1900
he had made a short visit to Arabia and
had won the friendship of one OF the most
powerful of the Arab rulers, Emir Tajjal,
the chief of the Benz Sachr, the Sons of
the Rocks" He accompanied him on a
fighting expedition against another tribe
and his services as surgeon had endeared
him to the old Arab.
The Emir Tajjal was an Arab of the
Evolutionary kind. Throughout the deserts,
from end to end of the peninsula, he was
equally honOred for his integrity and no.
bility Of character and feared for his power.
So, when DR.. Musil, accompanied by his
friend, Alphons Leopold Mielich, the
painter, arrived in Madaba on the desert
frontier in 1901, prepared to search for
Amra, the watchfulness OF the Turkish au-
thorities was set at naught by his Arab
friends.
The Turks, suspecting the object Of the
Austrians, warned them that they would
be arrested il they tried to leave the place.
But one night they evaded the guards and
made their way 10 a rendezvous in the
desert just outside of Madaba.
Here Sheik Hazel, the. brother Of the
Emir, and as nOble-hearted as that Emir

himself, met them with seven camels OF
the purest breed to be fouLd in Arabia.
Armed bedouins guarded the outfit, while
others crept into the town and struggled
out the travellers effects.
Then the two Austria1s were CARRIED by
the Arabs in the favorite disguise OF the
men of the Arabian Nights stories-that

stefan Musa and Mielich the physician
Hanna.
Sheik HAZEL had spared no expense. That
involved no financial hardship for him,
however, for DR.. Musil says that he is so
rich that he cannot estimate his own
wealth.
Tens OF thousands OF tribesmen pay him
tribute and every caravan that goes be-
tween Mecca and Muscat, or Mecca and
Damascus, does the same. The unhappy
caravans call it robbery. The Sheik and
the Emir call it tribute paid to them as
masters of the land.
For three days and nights the party
crossed fiery sands. Then they saw, far
on the horizon, c great building. and the
Arab warriors stopped and prayed. The
shiek once more pressed on the Austrians
