that no provision Is made for paying warden, eX-
cept for the time during which he is actually fight
ing fire, and that these hardly be expected
to neglect their private business to devote their
time to State work without adequate compensation
He asserts that the fire warden system in the
AdirondaCks should be supplemented by perma-
nent force of rangers whose business 1t should De

believes be done and the forests protected from
fire at cost representing more than reason

the forests.
The need of a system OF roads and trails through
the sreat Adirondack Park help to the success
full fighting of any future fires is also emphasized
But after carefully reviewing the present lack OF
fire protection in the AdirOndacks and suggesting
possible remedies the representative of the Forestry
Bureau makes this statement full of significance
to all friends of the Adirondacks: FINALLY. the
important lesson of the fires is that should
another long drouth occur. the State would be
nowerless. under present methods against fire. 10

That warning. coupled with the prophecies Of an
other dry season. should be sufficient to enlist every
property owner, every camper and every visitor 10
the Adirondacks the coming summer in n great
league pledged to against the fire hend in
whatever guise he may appear. that the great

gers. first as well as second and third class were
carefully searched when the steamers OF Europe
arrive at Bombay, Madras and Calcutta, and in
the ports Of Ceylon. many a time celebrated
gems. forming the plumber Of some sensational
jewel robbery; either IN Europe or America,
would be discovered by the authorities. There IS
an individual in India--I think he is still alive
who could doubtless give many points to the po-
lice on this subject. That is Jacobs. the cele-
brated diamond merchant, who was portrayed by
Marion Crawford in his popular novel, Mr..
Isaacs."
Jacobs was for many years the man whom the
princes and potentates of Hindostan intruBted
with the purchase and. when in want OF money,
with the sale OF their precious stones which,
owing to their religious objections to banks
they regarded as Invested capital It Is no ex-
aggeration 20 assert that he knew and posi-
bly, still knows almost every precious stone OF
any Importance in India, being blindIy trusted
by the majority of his customers. and had he
not been the most discreet Of men there - no
doubt that he could have indicated 10 the police
the location Of many well known and famous
stones missed from American and European
Jewel caskets. Sometimes the stolen Jewels do
not get further than ConstantinOple. Thus
when the historic pearls Of the late Nine. Ra-
ia zzi were taken. the thieves knowing that every
jewellsr in Europe and America familiar
with the gems took them to Stamboul and man
aged to dispose OF them through some OF the
seragIo dignitaries TO the Sultan. Nor would
they ever have been traced had not Abdul
Hamed presented them to an IIustrious lady
visiting ConstantinOple, on whose neck they
were subsequently recognized with the result
that they had to be returned to Nine. Ratazzi
Let me add in support Of this assertion as
to the fate OF the stolen jewels the Significant
fact that with the exception Of those OF the
widowed Countess of Dudley, which were re-
stored by means Of a compromise, hardly any
OF the plumber OF the great jewel robberies OF
the last fifty years has ever been recovered. in
spite OF ali the efforts of police and jewellers
stimulated by the offers OF large rewards It
will be interesting to see whether the altered
monetary conditions in the Orient. resulting
from the reforms initiated by Lord Cromer
will result in the people OF India seeking a
more profitable investment OF their capital than
Jewels. IN which case many long lost gems OF
worldwide celebrity may be placed once more
on the market with startling developments IN
the way of efforts by former owners 10 recover
their stolen property. E&-AIIACHE

HIDDEN TREASURE.
MoaIems bay NO5o Deposit Their
Hoarded Millions an Banks.

To Lord Cromer, the British PlenipOtentiary
in Egypt, belongs the credit of bringing about
a reform which bids fair not only to revolution
ize the Mahometan world, but likewise to affect
economic conditions in Europe as we'll as in the
United States The Koran strictly prohibits
usury, denouncing it as one Of the most IN
pardonable of offences, and owing to this the
Mahometans have for more than twelve centu-
ries abstained from ever lending money out at
interest and have refused to make use of bank
ing institutions either boarding their gold or
investing it in precious stones. as less la
BILE to conhscation and seizure than land. AS
an illustration of the sentiments Of Moslems
about the matter. 1t may be stated that Of the
more than twenty thousand depositors in the
savings banks of Egypt last year less than two
thousand were Mahometans. Of the European
lied and essentially modern minded sort. and
even they, while willing to leave their money in
the Golfers Of these banks. absolutely refused to
touch a cent Of the interest accruing to them or
to allow 1t to be placed to their credit.
Lord Cromer, who enjoys IN a marked degree
TIE confidence and respect Of the Mahometans,
not alone In Egypt and the Soudan. but also In
india by reason Of his renOwn for unblemished
integrity as we'll as for the respect which he has
always manifested for the Mahometan creed and
Its prejudces, has during the last six months
had number of interviews at Cairo with the
Grand Mutt and other high authorities Of
Islam law and the chief dignitaries OF the Mos
lem faith, for the purpose Of securing through
them q more liberal Interpretation OF those por-
lions OF the Koran dealing with usury, so that,
while the latter remains prohibited, there should
be no further objection TO the devOut followers
of the Prophet making use OF banks and analo-
gous institutions. and receiving non-usurious
rates OF interest for their deposits.
Success has crowned the efforts OF the earl
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1904-05-01

who spent a number of years In India. both as
private secretary to the Viceroy and as Minis
ter of Finance. and he has now notified to the
government in London that the matter has been
virtually arranged. Inasmuch Cairo is the
headquarters OF Moslem orthodoxy and jurispru-
dence, and possesses a university which for
many hundreds of years mas ranked as the
principal seat Of Mahometan learning. TO which
teachers. clergy and judges focked from even
the most remote portions of Asia and Africa in
order to obtain the purest Interpretation OF
Koranic doctrines and Of Koranic law. any de-
cision reached there on the subject of bank
ing is bound to be accepted throughout by the
whole of Islam resulting in vast influx of
gold into the banks, and a consequent addition
of colossal proportions to the yellow metal at
the disposal Of the money markets.
Mahometan countries have often been de-
scribed as the graveyl rds Of gold. in the sense
that they swallow up the yellow metal remoV-
ing it from circulation. This is especially the
case in India where the SO,O0OOO0 Moslems
constitute the most prosperous and influential
element OF the population Of the empire. There.
as elsewhere. their wealth is represented not by
bonds and stocks, but by lizards Of the yellow
metal and in q lesser 4egree OF jewels, which

Mr. Suter in his report carefully reviews in de-

the water was deeper their death is attributed to
the I've leached from the wood ashes. These ashes
