TRIBUTE TO THE JEW
RADBI MESSING sPEA<s FLO.
 QUENTLY OF HIS nACE.
Address Was Delivered Yester1ay AZ the PaasoveR ServDese--The SeW Has Always peen Mas-
 un6erafoo1s

' -
 The Jewish Festival of Passover was marked by special services at Temple Beth Or at 10 o'clock yesterday morn ing. They were interspersed Witn spe- cial prayers and the traditIonai meio- dies were sung by the cho1r.
 On Monday evening. the occasion was Jewish hornes. The 'Teder' is sa- cred meal during which symboitcsi foods are partsken of and the sig nificance of each explained Dy the mas. ter of the house in special ritual prepared for the occasion.
 The Festival of Passover corresponds with the Christian Easter and the "seder." historically considered. is the Hast supper"
 Large congregations were in atten- dance at both services and the spring festival was apparent in the fashion able attire of the worshippers.
 At yesterday morning's services Rab. bi A. ]. Messing delivered sermon on the theme, 'Israel's Contributions to the Religious Thought of Human ity."
 pr. Messing said in part:
 'To mankind in general. the Jew Is a riddle, sphinx. Never has peo- pie under such circumstances as those by which the Jews were surrounded, clung so tenaciously to opinion, or de- tended so strongly credal position.
  'vantages. social and political, and yet always abreast of the onward tide of thought, the Jew battles and puzzles the worlds thinkers. Shakespeare pie tured Shylcck as very rich and his daughter, Jessica, as very beautiful and. for long time, people thought every Jew was rich and every Jewess beautiful I wish it were so. The Jew, as old as time, has seen every thing, and has been everything except Pope, and once he came near being that, yet for a long time people thought the Jew could do only two things we'll. lend money and win 't back, buy and sell old clothes.
 we do not ask the world to love us but we do ask that the world shall cease to misunderstand us."
 The Rabbi then entered upon dis cussion of Israe1's place amidst the conflicting tides of religious thought. His exposition of Paganism. Buddhism 7 and Christianity were remarkably eio- quent and illuminating.
 "one book" said he, .snatched from the fire, Judaism lays as gift of its own, its best. on the birthday table or humanity. That book has had many that scoffed and jeered 1t, many also who admired and revered 1t, and man kind has adopted this Jewish child which has led the thirsty to the pool of siloah and auenched their tnirst with the waters of life. The Bible lives and at the priests altar still stands as of yore this people Of the book"
 The Jewish Passover will continue for seven days and will be concluded with services Sunday night and Mon- day morning.

And this Is not all. According 10 our

merchants, and professional men. and
some Of them actually earned little
money The writer says: Twenty-Five

was in independence a member Of the

THE SALT0N SEA.

A contributor to the North American
Review, Mr.. Edmund Mitchell, gives an
interesting description Of the peculiar
natural phenomenon by which a lake Is
being added TO the geographical feat
ures Of Southern California.
The water OF the Colorado River has
broken through is embankments and
is now pouring into the saton basin.
along the margin Of which saucer
shaped depression. very much below sea
level It formerly flowed. The level OF
the "gea" Is rising six incfts TJr

evaporation. the flow can 20 on for
thirty or forty years more. at the end
OF which time equilibrium will be re-
stored. with lake about the size OF
the Great Salt Lake ready TO make for
itself new outlet TO the yea. These
are some 81 the facts set forth IN the
paper In the Review.
The phenomenon Is remarkable
enough. from the standpoint OF the stu
dent Of nature. but Il seems that Il
has political Importance, too. The Colo
rado River is partly a Mexican water
course and by the diversion ~ the
stream, water that rightfully belongs TO
Mexican agriculturis;s Is being i'm
pounded In this country. The stream is
also rendered useless for navigation.
For these reasons the Mexican govern
ment has appointed a commission to in
yestigate the salton Sea curiosity. That
il can give rise 10 international COM
p!lcations is improbable. unless It can
be proved that the canal company that
proposed TO supply irrigation water
from the river TO the farmers Of In
perlal valley. through carelessness
caused the break that diverted the en-
tire stream towards the ancient lake
basin. In that case the interesting
question win arise as to how much
damages Mexico can recover for the
loss Of river. What is a river worth?
