PROGRESS IN JERUSALEM.

Two notables in Jerusalem have applied for the concession for fur nishing Jerusalem with electric light and building an electric tram way between Jerusalem and Jaffa. The daily receipts of the electric tramway in Damascus average 40 Turkish lira ($116). At present only one line is in operation, but a considerable expansion of the sys- tenn is under preparation. Electric light has been introduced into 45o places of residence and business in Damascus. The streets of the city are lighted with 1000 electric lamps, while the Serail, the city hall and the grand mosque are served gratis with electric are lights.

EARTHQUAKES AND RAIN.

Mist and rain so often follow great earthquakes, like that of Mes sina. that it is thought there must be some connection and Prof. Milne has suggested that the shock, trans mittcd to the air, may cause the condensation of water vapor. Com pairing the magnitude of earth quakes by the area shaken, it is found that the Messina shock affect ed not more than 95,000 square miles, while that of California in 1906 was felt over 312, 300 square miles and that in India in 1897 sock up 1,,50,000 square miles.

DuMDUM BULLET IS DEADLY.
Practically Employed Only by Great Britain in Her Wars Against Un-
 civilized Peoples.

A "dumdum" bullet is a bullet sometimes used in the British army, where it is styled Mark ". It re- sembles the ordinary service bullet, except that the leaden core is left uncovered, and by further making the casing weak at the apex the bull let spreads out immediately on striking a bone, and tears or splin- ters the body, usually with fatal re- suits. It was first made at Dum- dunn arsenal, in India, whence its. name. The report of the command mg officers in the Chitral campaign of 1895 called attention to the fact that while the service small-bore bullet had immense penetrating power, it did not possess sufficient stopping power, and man struck by 1t did not at once suffer>shock or disablement, but continued to fight. The wound of the Lee Metford (the
 
 British service rihe) bullet, like that of the Mauser, is a perfectly clean perforation, which in many in- stances will soon heal. It was to secure greater stepping power" that the Dumdum was employed; and although it is under the ban of the peace conference, Great Bri- tain still employs it, but only against uncivilized peoples. Great Britain refused to subscribe to the clause conforming this type of bull let, and thus left herself free to re- tain it. It was used in Egypt in 1895, but not in the Boer-Brltish war of 1S99-02.

THE SUITAN'S CROWN.

Every event concerns the profes- sion. The connection between the variety showmen and the deposition of Abdul Hamid, the cruel Turk, is not obvious, but the Stage points out that it cost French clown his position. Years ago the Frenchman exhibited trained cat. The sultan liked the show, had the Frenchman arrested and imprisoned in the Yil- dig kiosk and paid him $2,5o0 a year to train animals for the amuse- ment of the ladies of the harem. The sultan is now a prisoner, sub iected to the third degree, the ha- rem women are scattered to the winds and the Frenchman and his cat find themselves out of date in the modern variety halls.

She had a hat like hayfield, and, sitting in the fifth row of the pit, was hoping with all her might that it would attract MT. Walters attention, and get him to notice her moment. She fattered herself she was looking uncommonly hand- some. The gentle finger of pale faced man, sitting behind her, tapped her on the shoulder.
 ''Please, miss," murmured that unfortunate individual, do you mind removing your-ahem - your hat ?"
 "Yes, l dol" she snapped, and glued her eyes once more upon her idol.
 Look here, miss," persisted the pale gentleman, q want to look as well as you"
 "Oh, do you?' she retorted, turn ing round and looking him straight between the eyes. "Then you'd bet ter run home and change your face .'-London Tit-Bits.

A GROWING LOVE.

Mir. and Mrs. Married Bliss were both growing very plump, and every effort to reduce weight had proved fruitless, and their discontent with their failure was pathetic.
 'It is too bad" said a mutual friend to a sympathetic physician. "The Blisses are so fond of each other and used to be so graceful and slender when they were first mar ried."
 "Ah, wellr" replied the physician. ''Think how much more they are to each other now."-Life.

BOYS NO LONGER HARM BIRDS.


 At the public schools a remark able change in the attitude of boys Coward birds) has taken place in the last twenty years. There was d case not long ago at one of them where, in the knowledge of every boy in the school, a bird was allowed to hatch out its eggs within a stones throw of the buildings. And this is typical My experience is that no public school boys, though most of them search for nests, take eggs except for definite collections.- London Times.

that the name John Rockefeller meant
no more to the New York Central, which

gretted, from an artistic point of view,
that so many of these little women are
adopting the cosmopolitan dress of Eu-

man one sees on the streets in the
Flowery Kingdom Is almost invariably
delight to tie eye, from her black,
shining, beautifully coiffure to
her small feet. The kimono and obi
are never bright or snowy. but are
rather of some soft, somber shade, har-
perfectly, the only touch of
color being given by the small fan
which IL as much part OF the toilet
as the kimono itself. The Japanese
women seem quite as anxious to put
aside their National musical fnstru-
ments, the samisen and koto, for the
piano, as they do to discard their Ma
tional dress. This, also. is too bad. A
little Japanese maiden, dressed in Euro
pean dress, her black hair pompadored
and puffed, seated on a piano stool,
humping away on the piano, cannot be
in the same breath for pure
artistic Beauty with one arrayed in her
graceful, free kimono, a rose stuck in
her shining hair, "done" in the elab-
orate style Of her country, seated on
her mat playing the samisen. Well, /
should say not.
