A German traveller, writing from
Palestine to Cologne paper, says:
"Our guide, tall, swarthy, long beard
cd man, who could earn much money
as a model, grew eloquent when We
came to Schechem, place which
should be sacred to the Hebrews be-
cause its history is so closely inter-
woven with theirs. Here we saw what
is known as Jacobs well, which is in
the shadow of Mount Gerizim. 1t Is
about seventy feet deep, they told us,
and eight feet In diameter. Here,
said our guide, stood the oak Of Mo-
reh, where Abraham, when he came
to Canaan, built the first altar. In the
days Of Jacob, Schechem had become
q business town, and here 1t was that
the traders of that time came with
their live stock and products of the
field to trade All its commercial
greatness has vanished, but 1t will at
tract religious people as long as the
well, which is still In good state OF
preservation, remains"

the tree to support the falling branches.
The cavity has been noticeable only

much greater In girth than now.
Aged as 1t is, the tree bore acorns In
1901 and 1905 and always produces a
fair amount of foliage. In 1893 IN

planted near by, and tree Is growing

CONDITIONS ON MARS. 3
, From TN, Call Of Another World" by Charles .
Tofoust In tho Metropolitan Magazine.
sseeeseeseseseeesosseseo

The days In Mars are of about the
same length as ours: twenty-four
hours, thirty-nine minutes, twenty
three seconds. Mars makes her orbit
around the sun In little more than
6S6 days, therefore the seasons are
almost twice as long as they are with
us. The atmosphere Of Mars is rich
in watery vapors. Oceans can be
seen, and at the poles thick ice, which
melts when summer comes. The
variations in temperature are ex-
treme. Mars receives only half as
much solar heat as our globe does.
The sun appears half as large, and
the nights receive their light from
two moons. which are smaller than
ours-Deimos and Phobos.
The weight is such that one Of our
Kilograms would only weigh three
hundred and seventy-six grams there.
A man is only able to carry his own
weight on his back. Transported to
Mars, he could carry three times as
much, something like two hundred
and twenty-five kilos. In taking OBJ
servations OF Mars through the tele-
scope, one can see a distinct red
disk, marked with more or less brill
liant spots. Some OF the spots which
are greenish are the oceans, other
very red ones are the continents.
greater in extent than the oceans.
which is the opposite to the way the
earth is disposed. The most brill
liant spots are the Recovered re-
gions of the poles, and the clouds
are almost equally bright. The at
mosphere of Mars Is more transpar-
ent than ours, and its sky is incom-
parably clear.
The waters OF Mars are more di-
vided and distributed in inland seas
joined by long arms, which are some
times incurving, but oftenest almost
recti1inear, and which mark the bril-
liant surface of the planet with dark
lines, Just as the line of lead divides
the panes of glass in our church win
dows- All these dark lines form a
pattern which is relatively symmetri-
cal, and which does not seem to have
been made by chance. A plan SO
regular must have been designed, and
for long time the observers of Mars
have been disposed to consider these
lines as canals dug by the inhabitants
of the planet for the needs of their
civilization.

Frances Opium Peril.

Just now France is having trouble
in both branches of her service. The
army has been declared incompetent
and inefficient in many particulars
by some of the men highest In that
branch OF the service.
Opium, valued at several thousand
dollars, has now been found in the
stores of several Oriental curio
dealers in Marseilles. A search was
made upon the complaint of the wives
of naval officers who declared that
their husbands were obtaining and
using the drug. Investigation shows
that the habit has increased to an
alarming extent in the navy, and
there are not wanting those who con-
meet this disclosure with the many
accidents that have occurred to the
French navy in the past eighteen
months.
The French peasant is the most
frugal and the most productive force
in European economic life, but how
long he will stand the burden of mill
tary and naval expenditure when it
seems to result in so little real good
to the country is question. The
most disheartening thing to France
is that the naval authorities have
been endeavoring for some time to
stamp out the opium evil, but to
have been unable to accomplish much
along this line.

Window Cnnsed wnr.

A terrible war was once caused
by a window
1t was in the days when Louis XIV
(the Grand Monarchy was dazzling
Europe. His Minister, Louvois, was
experimenting on the Kings behalf
the building of the Palace of Trianon
In the park at Versailles. Louis in
spected the buildings one afternoon,
and declared one OF the windows to
be out of shape and smaller than the
rest. This Louvois denied, and the
King had the window measured.
with the result that he was proved
to be right, and he openly before all
the court ridiculed Louvols.
But the Minister had his revenge.
for with the angry ejaculation that
"he would find better employment
for a monarch than that of insulting
his favorites,' he embroiled France
by his insolence in a quarrel with
the powers, which ended years later
only in the Peace of Ryswick, after
a war which entailed the loss of
many lives and the expenditure of
large sums of money.

Good Business.

George B. Cortelyou, the Secretary
of the Treasury, was talking at din
ner about the recent panic.
There's a story about a we'll
known railroad man in the panic that
is almost too good" said Mr.. Cor
telyou. This man is kind-hearted,
and he was deeply moved by letter
that country parson wrote him
when things were looking their worst.
"The letter ran like this;
Dear Sir-As the pastor of -
Church, my aim has always been in
vestment and not speculation. Re-
garding your railroad as a sound busi-
ness institution, solid as a rock, in
1904 / purchased 400 of its shares
at 106, sinking my little all in them
and great deal more. They have
now fallen to fifty-five, and l am un-
done. My congregation cannot face
as a bankrupt. and at my age-sev-
enty-two years-what am l to do?
l throw myself upon your mercy
well" said Mr.. Cortelyou, 1.-The
banker read this letter several times
and each time his pity for the poor
old parson increased. Finally, call
ing in his stenographer, he wrote to
the man that. considering all the
painful circumstances of the case. he
would himself buy back the 400
shares at 106, the price the parson
had paid for them.
Immediately on receipt of this
generous letter, the parson wired to
his brokers:

Whnt He WAS Wnitinr For.

A mysterious stranger with low
cred brow and menacing glare, stood
alongside one of the shoemaking ex-
hibits in a department store yester-
day and watched the shoemaker at
work. For long time he stood
there, never shifting his glance, star
ing steadily at the bench workman,
watching him put handful after hand
full of tacks in his mouth and grad
ually empty each nav load into a
shoe sole. Finally a store detective
became suspicious, and after keeping
an eye on the fellow for a while went
over to him and asked him what he
meant by his actions. "Oh, moth
ing" answered the man. 'I'm just
waiting to see what will happen to
that shoemaker should he sneeze
when he has a mouthful of tacks. )"
