THE coLoRs OF SYRIA.
Glory of Syrian Landscape
Is in Brilliant Hues.

CxOwn1nR GlOFy OF syrian AanOAcapS
Is in Brilliant Huex.
The browning glory Of a Syrian
landscape, however, is it's brilliant COL
oring. Before I left America. says
Lewis CASTOR Leary in the World To-
Day, it seemed to me that b vivid
tints OF Tissot's pictures must be ex-
aggerated, but they fall short of the
reality. OF course, no artist can hope
to reproduce the marvellous warmth
and depth OF the colors in an eastern
landscape or to initiate the vague,
soft hues that are so characteristic OF
the Syrian atmosphere; but it would be
almost as impossible for him to hnd
tints that were overnight or to ar
range them in an order too daring to
be matched by the Syrian sun.
The very nights are full Of color.
The moonlight is so brilliant that it
is easy to read a guide book, and, even
on q moonless night and in the wilder
ness, far from any city's glare, tbs
starlight has been so bright that l
could see the second hand of my watch
and could find quite a distinct shadow
cast by Jupiter. A moonlit scene at
home gives only the impression Of light
spots and dark spots; everything is
black or white or gray; but here IN
Syria the moonlight shows all the col
ors of the rainbow. The green Of the
trees and grain, the red of tile roofs,
the blue Of sea n sky and the white
o. the distant mountains are softer
and more delicate, but hardly less dis
tinct, one from the other, than in the
sunlight.
But the sunset colors are the best
Of all, especially where the mountains
come close to the sea l hesitaSe to
compare Beirut with Naples;t yet we
have as clear skies here, the sweep or
the bay is much the same, and, In
stead OF smoky Vesuvius, there is the
splendid range Of Lebanon, culminat-
ing in Jebel Sunnin, almost twice as
high as the Italian mountain, and for
half the year crowned with dazzling
SNOW. E

DOUMA LEADERS HIT.
ACTION STARTED AGAINST SIGN
ERS OF vIsoRG MANIFESTO.
Members of Late Popular Legislative
Body May BE Sent TO Mines or
injured in Prison-Rebelifon
Among Troops.

The public prosecutor in st. Peters
the members of the lower house of par
lament who signed the Viborg mani
festo.
The charge under which the signers
OF the manifesto will be brought to
trial is q violation of article 129 OK
the criminal code, which provides for
attempts to overthrow the existing
government" This is virtually high
treason. The maximum penalty is hard
labor in the mines.
] No arrests yet hare been reported,
and the constitutional Democrats do
not anticipate anything approaching
punishment of their representatives. 1t
Is understood that the arrested will be
admitted to bail pending trial. The
constitutional Democrats are chiefly ap-
prehensive that the possibility of pros
ecution held over the heads Of their
leaders will render them ineligible for
reelection, in the anne name that
Prof. Milukoff and NJ. HesSel and 9TH
ers were excluded from the last lower
house.
Socialist and radica! members OF the
late house may have to cool their heels
in cells for a long time and thus be
prevented from continuing the full
fledged revolutionary agitation upon
which they now are embarked. Many
of these ex-members now are living I'M

Stolypin in an interview, is not stated,

need Of doing something to counterfeit

has attained an enormous circulation in
the provinces, in spite of the greatest

THE sWIFTEST FISH.

uackereI and shark Are Fast, but
slow as Compared to the Tarpon.
Study of the speed of fishes is embar-
raised by unavoidable difficulties. 1t
is not possible, as with birds, to set up
tall poles at intervals of a quarter or
a mile and, with the help of stop
watches, time them as they go by. New
ertheless, recent Investigation OF the
subject goes to show that the mackerei,
if not the champion racer Of the briny
deep, comes pretty near to carrying
off the honors. Jnquestionably 1t
travels sometimes as fast as an express
train at high speed-say, at the rate
of sixty or seventy miles an hour. 9th
err things being equal, the larger the
fish, the faster it swims-just as the
huge steamship is able to travel at a
speed much greater than the little har-
Dor tug.
Undoubtedly the energy employed by
a fish of great size, such as a 3O-foot
shark, when travelling at Its best gait,
Is something tremendous. An ordinary
tug, which represents u maximum OF
energy In q minimum Of bulk, utilizes
about 200 horse power. OF course 1T
Is only a guess, but 1t would not seem
to be over the mark to suppose that
n 7O-foot whale makes use Of 500 horse
power when it propels its huge bulk
through the water at a rate OF thirty
miles an hour. A whale, which is a
mammal and not a fish, might be COM
pared to a freight train If the shark Is
q cannon-ball express, but 1t cannot
beat the fastest ocean greyhound In
d speed contest.
II there Is a fish that a travel
faster thar a shark it must be the tar
pom, which can probably 'hit her up"
to the tune of eighty miles an hour II
pressed for time. Generally speaking,
1t may be said that finny creatures
which live near the surface of the sea
are swift swimmers, as compared with
those that dwell in the depths. Thur
the cod, which is a deep-water species,
is sluggish and would stand no show
at all in a race with the mackerel or
herring. These latter, which are dis
tinctly pelagic, depend for their living
upon their activity In pursuing the
agile prey, and they must be quick in
their movements In order to escape
their own enemies.
If the mackerel was as big as a good
sized shark it would probably be the
speed champion Of the ocean. No fish
is better shaped for rapid going. Some
years ago a yacht builder In New York
constructed a sloop with a hull pattern
ed exactly after the under body Of a
Spanish mackerel. She was called the
Undine, and If tradition does not lie
she never was beaten. Like the fish
after which she was modelled, she had
her greatest breadth OF beam forward
OF am~idships-a decidedly novel idea In
bodybuilding. One may say, indeed,
that all modern water craft are more
or less fish-like in their makeup

A manifesto to the peasants Of Rus
STA has been issued in the joint names
Of all the various labor, socialist, and
revolutionary organizations, including
the representatives Of these organiza-
lions in the defunct lower house. This
manifesto declares that the hopes re.
posed in the lower house Of parliament
have been blasted by the diabolical de-
signs Of the crowd Of grand dukes,
courtiers, and wealthy land proprietors
assembled around the Emperor, whose
only purpose "a be the maintenance Of
their power I'VE the people. BY dis
persing the elected representatives Of
the people and arresting and imprison-
ing them the government has declared
war on the nation, and a struggle is be-
ginning in which rivers Of blood will
flow and for which the criminal gov
eminent is responsible. The people
must not spare the government.
Alleges Betrayal of People.
This manifesto further accuses the
government Of ~betraying the ~fatherland
by invoking the aid Of German and
Austrian troops. The people therefore
are urged to remove the local author
ity everywhere, to replace it with men
elected by themselves and to confiscate
all state funds. The troops also must
conform to the orders Of those elected
by the people. The workmen in the
towns, the ~peasantry, and all toilers
must, in conjunction with the troops,
seize the liberty and take the land
which the government has denied them.
The land thus possessed must be hand
ed over to the popularity elected local
authorities pending the elaboration of
a new land law.
Rebellion Breaks Out Among Troops
From Poltava was reported the first
serious revolutionary outbreak involv-
ing the army. The outbreak followed
the arrest OF several soldiers discovered
in a house known to be a meeting place
OF the rsvolutionaries. After the ar
rests the entire first battalion, accom-
panied by a large crowd, paraded the
streets in defiance Of the military au-
thorities. The soldiers proceeded to
the military barracks, where they seiz-
ed several guns and marched with them
to the prison the political prisoners
are confined in. At this stage all the
remainder OF the Poltava garrison were
called out

Lady Caraven instantly quilted the

DIR. Abbott Herald Socialism.
DR.. Lyman Abbott, in delivering the
baccalaurate sermon at Harvard created
quite a stir among his audience by an
nouncing that the age of socialism was
surely coming. The proper term was, he
added, fraternalism. He said that there
had been three conceptions of human re-
%lations, and that we were about to enter
upon the third. He used as texts ex-
tracts from the Scriptures to support his
statement, as follows "a few wise. good
men shall be selected to rule over the
race Let every nan be free to do as
he pleases," and THE organization OF
society on a basis of mutual service and
helpfulness.'' These, he said. represented
the dead ages of autocracy, the present
order of individualism and the coming age
OF fraternalism. In the future, he said,
we would no longer honor mere wealth /;
that accumulation was already on trial (;
but that we would think first of the good
we could do while getting it. The one
remedy was to consider society as a unit.
E~raternalism, he concluded. would be felt
in the church, in the uniting of all creeds,
and sects into one cserch of God
Crime n. an inheritance.
The plan of having the state take
charge of the children of defective par
ents, or logical elimination of such off
spring, is advocated by DR.. g. Frank
Lydston of the Chicago college of ply
sicians and surgeons. He takes the ground
that the children primarily have no NOR
al sense; that they are litt3e animals.
That any couple may get a marriage IL
cense, without regard to mental or ply
steal condition, is, to his mind. the cause
OF our criminal tendencies. He proposes
that if the child of such a union becomes
a criminal or a degenerate, hat society,
instead Of Furnishing him or imprisoning
him, in the spirit Of hate or revenge,
should undertake systematically to ~du-
cate and reform.
