phenomenon has been made. the result being an

geologist. Edward Orton, assigns the rotation
to two causes First, the ball becomes more
heated In the sunshine than the heavy base and
consequently expands more giving rise to a
slight creeping. The ensuing contraction. he
says, is probably not enough to take up the dis
placement caused by the heat in the earlier part

THE HOLY CARPET.
Annually Carried from Cairo to
Mecca to C0Uer the Kaaba.

A few days ago Bedouins attempted to rob
re caravan escorting the Holy Carpet from
Cairo to Mecca. On this occasion they were
enable to secure the spoil which had tempted
them, for they were beaten off and several of
them killed.
This is not the first time the caravan trans
porting the Holy Carpet to the Holy City of
the Moslems has been attacked by the Bedouns.
The carpet is frequently accompanied by thou
sands of pilgrims from all parts of Africa. They
carry with them much treasure. This tempts
the marauding Arabs of the desert to attack
the caravan. The fact that the Arabs are
Jealous AIussulmans does not deter them from
falling upon fellow religionists performing one
Of the most sacred duties of their faith and
conveying the covering of the most holy object
connected with their worship. The goods of the
pilgrims they consider to be their legitimate
prey.
The caravan carrying the Sacred Carpet is
the most important one which traverses the
pilgrims road over the sandy wastes of 1.-The
land of pilgrimage" Annually similar cara
van makes the journey, for the carpet covering
the Kaaba at Mecca must be replaced each
year. The Kaaba is a box-shaped stone build
ing standing in a low part of the Holy City.
1t is about 40 feet long, 33 feet wide and 80
feet high. The building is covered with a heavy
black silk damask. Around this cloth is a

green threads. The band passes entirely

feet above the ground This covering is the
Holy or Sacred Carpet. Few Christians have
it in its place over the old stone house.
for to Christians Mecca is, like Lhassa the
capital of Tibet, 4 forbidden city. Those who
have been able to enter it did SO in disguise
and at a risk of losing their lives Only Ma
hometans may enter the sacred valley on the
floor Of which the little building stands.
The Holy Carpet is replaced each year by a
new one especially woven at Cairo. The maxi
ing is intrusted to the same family year after
year. 1t is begun in part of the city and
carried in state to another where it is COM
pleted. 1t is made of silk and lined with cot

which prescribe that nothing made entirely of
silk shall be used.

upon a pain, ache or lameness in the

to pass off, giving no thought to the

story leaked out while the Solace was
at Honolulu. The San Francisco Cali
tells the story of the incident as fol-

While Commander Bulls sub )rdi-
mates were rejoicing over the prospects
that the inquiry into the Costello Incl

executive officer being detached from
the vessel, orders have been received
transferring DR.. f. j. b. Cordiero, the
ships surgeon, and Dominick Glynn,
chief boatswain, to shore duty on wait
| ing orders. DIR. Cordiero was among
several of the Soace's officers who went
to Lieutenant Commander Knapp and
protested against his treatment of Mrs.
Costello. After the arrival of the Solace
| here the surgeon, as was published in
| yesterdays Call, was, on "a slight pre-
text, sent to his quarters for ten days.

the executive officer, has since been

The fact that these two men, who, by
their manly defense of an unfortunate
woman, incurred the enmity of the
Solace's lieutenant commander, have
now been transferred from the vessel,
has naturally caused the other officers
of the vessel to hastily arrive at the
conclusion that Captain Knapp is going
out on the Solace as its executive Off
Ger.
A movement was recently inaugural
ed to have Knapp detached from the
| Solace, but apparently the Navy De-
partment has decided to ignore the pro-
tests made against him and instead of
removing him those who appealed to
him for justice to Mrs. Costello will
soon be assigned to sea service on some
other Government vessel. The feeling
| against Lieutenant Commander Knapp
aboard the Solace is not confined only
to the officers, but has extended to the
crew, one Of whom recently dared to
! overstep the bounds of discipline while
ashore and roundly roast Knapp for his
seemingly ungentlemanly conduct to-
ward the humble wife of an American
citizen.

Draped with the American colors,
the purple pennant of the Elks also
conspicuous IN the decorations, the
Royal Hawaiian Hotel was the scene
last evening of a gathering of the ant
Tered herd of Honolulu to do honor to
the biggest Elk of them all, Grand EX-
allied Ruler w. J. O'Brien of Baltimore.
1t was a notable event in Elkdom and
the Individual Elks showed up well.
The Antlers were well polished and the
owners thereof looked sleek and well
fed, indicating that they had browsed
and drank in bounteous places.
The Ianais and ballroom of the hotel
were attractively decorated with palm
branches and bunting, and throughout
the building with it's beautiful display
of electric lights, there was evidence
that the Elks were 1T"
The Grand Exalted Ruler and Mrs.
O'Brien were guests of honor at a din
ner given by the chief representatives
Of Honolulu Lodge, No. SIG. The other
guests were Past Exalted Rulers, DR..

Thompson, Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Fisher
and Mrs. Thompson, the present Ex-
allied Ruler. George Angus, and Mrs.
Angus. and H. Wingate Lake and Mrs

ed with purple asters.
During the dinner the Hawaiian Gov
eminent band under the direction of
Captain Berger gave a complimentary
concert in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. u
Brien and in the presence of large
and appreciative audience in the bril-
liantly illuminated hotel garden. AL
ternating with the band was Solomon's
Hawaiian Glee Club which played
Hawaiian music. The Glee Club look
ed attractive in their tropical costumes
of white, relieved by red Spanish sash
es In the meantime the Elks, accom-
panied by the gentler sex, gathered in
the parlors and on the lanais. The
reception was informal, and soon the
guests were gliding away in the mazes
of the waltz and the deuX temps. 1t
was a pretty scene throughout and one
which the Grand Exalted Ruler said
was one of the most attractive he had
ever seen. 1t would impress itself on
his memory and always remind him of
his visit to the Hawaiian Islands.

CHARGES Geo. DAVIS

A motion for a new trial On behalf of
All On. convicted of receiving a bride
as an executive officer was filed by A.
S. Humphreys yesterday. An affidavit
by All On is attached, which charges
Geo. A. Davis, his counsel at the trial,
with being intoxicated on that occasion
and in consequence mismanaging the
defence in various ways. 1t is related
that when defendant was on the stand
Davis said: cit is only a case of
bribery and if the jury find him guilty

Mention is also made of Judge De
Bolts citing Davis for contempt on
account of intoxication, while the trial
was In progress, also of the courts fire.
quent rebuking of Davis for his con-
dition and misconduct-all of which is
represented as having been prejudicial
to the defendant. 1t is submitted as
error to the court that F. e. Thomp-
son should have been requested to
close the case for the defense to the
jury, when he had not participated in
the trial nor heard the evidence.
