instead OF Jaffa, which has no harbor, and
the German railway will take away much
of the business from the French line. which
Is now operating between Jaffa and Jeru-
salem. The latter company, however, Is en-
titled to no sympathy. It's road Is only fifty
miles long, but the charges for freight have
been as high as 81 ton, and 10 cents a mile
for passengers. The future itinerary will
take a tourist from Beirut by rail to Dam
ascus, thence by rail to Nazareth, Liberals
and Jerusalem and back by rail to Haifa
at the foot of Mt. Carmel, where the

In the disputed territory between Eng
land and Turkey lies the wilderness OF the

10 very likely, for commercial IL not poifti-
cal reasons. 1t Is also true that British In
terests, whether commercial or of1cial.
have been stirring Up opposition to the
sultan on the eastern coast OF Arabia and
In the ports Of the Persian gulf. It Is very
important that the sultan should have mill
tary access to his own dominions without
being dependent upon British permission.
and therefore the railway from Maan to
Akaba Is being pushed with great energy
and the latter port has been occupied by
Turkish soldiers.
We may expect the Mediterranean feet
to pass the Suez canal and the Gulf Of
Suez and sail up the Gulf OF Akaba with
out wanting for the Turkish troops to
evacuate the latter place. The British do
not trust the sultan for a moment. His
promises are absolutely worthless. Every
government In Europe knows that they are
always Intended to deceive. The British
acquiescence to their demands and they
will take the trouble to be on the ground
when the day OF action arrives and remain
In possession OF the property.
The New Railway.
Three trains a week are now running
from Damascus to Maan and the new road
from Haifa, Syria, across the historic
plain Of Esdraeion Is also completed, 30
that one train is running daily both ways
The German syndicate. which has built that
road. now proposes to extend branch
from Afooleh on the plain Of Esdraelon to
Jerusalem via Jenin and Nablous. through
Samaria. Everybody will regret the in
vasion of the Holy Land with railways.
but they are of great commercial import
ance to the country, and sentiment does
not have much weight in this commercial
age The railways will add considerably
to the convenience of tourists, but, at the
same time, they will rob a visit to the
most sacred places ON earth of a great
part of the enjoyment. 1t is bad enough
to hear the whistle of a locomotive at the
gates of Zion, and under the walls Of
Damascus, the oldest. the most venerable
and in many respects the most interesting
city in the world. But II is even worse
to desecrate the paths that were trodden
by the feet of the Savior with railway
tracks. Modern enterprise has no venera-
ton or respect for sacred things The men
who are building these roads are after the
freight and the passenger traffic that the
country will furnish them. and they real
lie that thousand tourists will visit Ma
zareth and the shores of Galilee II they
can go on a railway train, where only
hundred will be willing to make the jour
ney by camel.
When this railway system Is finished

The trouble between Turkey and Great
Britain involves the boundary line between
Asia and Africa, which the sultan has
taken the liberty OF changing in order
that he may have the use Of the port Of
Akaba, or Tabah, as some Of the maps
have it. to send troops to suppress the
rebellion in the province OF Yemen In south
ern Arabia.
Originally the boundary between Egypt
and Arabia, which is the same as between
Asia and Africa, was a direct line running
from Suez at the northern end OF the Gulf
of Suez to the port of Ell Arish on the
Mediterranean. When the sultan of Tur-
key recognized the neutrality-suspicious. OF
Egypt many years ago he shifted this
boundary two hundred miles to the east
ward and drew the line that now divides
the continents, from Ell Arish to Akaba, or
Tabah, at the head OF the Gulf of Akaba,

Malt Gives Beer
High Nutrition
Eight-Day Malt, Exclusive Product
of an American Brewery, Makes
the Richest Beer.

Malt is the life of beer. Our readers understand,
of course, that In brewing beer the first thing to
do Is make the malt from which to make the beer
The richer the malt the more nutritious the more
wholesome the beer. Pabst learned years ago that
the forced method of making malt in three or four
days could not possibly be accomplished without
losing in large degree the life-gying, strength
giving elements of the barley. Most breweries use
this old process. 1t is quicker easier and less
pensiye. The Pabst way gives the full richness OF
the grain to the beer. 1t doubles the expense Of
brewing, but 1t makes Pabst Beer the leader Of all
beers.
Pabst Beer is the richest beer In actual food
value and strength building elements because 1t is
made only with Pabst eighf-day malt. Careful
test, practical experience in brewing always with
eye single to the very best product possible,
has taught Pabst that malt made Of grain grown
in this country must have eight days in which to
properly mature. Mnlt perfect in nutritious ele-
ments only be made by following the process
of Nature without crowdng. and that Is what
Pabst does. He makes his own malt by an exclu-
stve eght-day process, double the time and double
the expense of the common four-day method. This
Pabst process gets all the good out of the barley
and into the malt. No other process does
Pabst efght-day malt, made from finest barley,

ground moisteued By the rain and warmed by the

process there Is no forced unnatural growth that

THE cuPEY TREE.
Dne of the Most Curious GroNtha of
the West Indies.


The cupey, or. as it is sarcastcally
called in the English possessions. the
attorney" is one of the most curious,
as 1t Is one of the most picturesque,
dcniZnns of tho virgin forests of the
West Indian islands. 1t belongs to tho
parasiticai family OF trees or plants;
but, terrible TO relate, II invariably,
with the bascst lngr1titudc, destroys
all life i'll the unfortunate tree that
ehcrishcs 1t in It's carly growth. The
feeds arc borne OH the vgigs OF the
wind and deposited on the branches
or other trees. when they burst into
roots, which arc dropped toward the
ground all around the nurse" tree.
In time these roots reach the ground
and strike into the soil.
From this moment the roots grow
stronger and stronger until they rcsem-
bic Il lot Of rope ladders thrown over
the tree. Next the parasite sends down
n great cord, which twines around the
trunk of tho supporting tree, at first as
though in loving embrace but II grows
tighter and tighter eventually stran-
Cling its bcncfactor out OF existence.
The nurse tree thus killed rots to de-
cay, and from the immense fibrous
roots of the destroyer now springs
great trunk. which rises high into the
air. When cupcy is full grown it
presents magnificent spectacle, for
tho cortllkc root rises often to fifty or
sixty feet and supports In mldair the
vast tree itself
