Christian BuriaIs at Jerusalem.

Until about fifty years ago Christians
in Jerusalem, and Franciscans as well.
were buried without q coffin. the latter
simply in the habit of the order. At the
grave the hood of the deceased was
sewed shut over his face, and thus he
was bedded in the earth The former
burial place of the Catholics was in the
valley of the Cedron, alongside the Gar
den of Gethsemane, at the foot of the
Mount of Olives. where the Jews are
still buried today. Only a century ago
y new churchyard was laid out on Mount
Zion, the place where King David and
and his successors are still buried The
exact spot is unknown, although many
attempts have been made to find it. An
old tradition says that about the fifth
century some workmen accidentally
penetrated this vault. They looked in
and saw the magnificent sarcophagi, but,
iii trying to enter the chambers of the
dead, they were repulsed by flames of
fire bursting forth from within. The
frightened workmen closed the entrance

GOTHAM IS FORTIFIED.
Waters of Race at Entrance
to Sound

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 9
After years of fruitless endeavor sub
marine mines have been planted III the
deep waters of the race" at the eastern
entrance to Long Island sound. and New
York city is today better fortified against
attack by sea than ever before. An
nouncement of the solution of this difficult
problem was made today by Gen. Arthur
Murray, chief of the coast artillery, in
his annual report to the secretary of
war.
Until recent experiments were made it
was believed by army and navy officers
that mines could not be planted in water
deeper than 100 or 125 feet.
1t was found, however, by officers of
the coast artillery that it was quite as
easy to plant the mines in deep water as
in shallow, if heavy enough anchors We're
obtainabe. So with anchors weighing
1900 pounds, mines We're planted in the
trace" at a depth of 125, then 200 and
finally 800 feet The complete subma>
rine equipment for the race is now
being prepared and will be in place soon.

DISCOUNT RATE LOWER
Bank of England Cuts 1t to Az Per
Cent.-Monetary Position
Improves

LONDON, Dec g. The monetary
position and the gold reserve improved
so noticeably during last month that the
Bank of England today found itself able
to reduce the rate of discount half of /
per cent. to AZ. The directors of the
bank apparently had some difficulty in
reaching a decision, as the meeting was
in session longer than usual.
That the bank maintained the > Ger
cent. rate for some weeks against the
open market rate of per cent. or lower
was attributable to desire to ascertain
the full effect of the political crisis, but
no material change followed the throw
ing out of the budget. so the directors
concluded that the reserve, which is
higher today than a year ago when the
rate was only 212 per cent, is sufficiently
strong to justify relieving trade of the
abnormal rate instituted to attract gold
here after the depletion of the reserve
last October.
The change in the rate had little effect
on the stock exchange. Consols were
steady at the opening, but declined 3-16
later,
