In addition, the notes show a water

The watermark is produced by a de-

never been successfully initiated.
Extraordinary precautions are taken
for the security Of the mill where these
notes are made, as well as Of every

ARAB SCHOOLS.
Their Peculiar Methods In Teaching

Their Peculiar Methods In Teaching
and Studying.
"An Arab school," said "a traveller,
lis n of the most interesting places
in Cairo to visit. The children, with
the schoolmaster. SIT upon the floor or
b ground in a semicircle, and each
has a tablet Of wood which is painted
white and upon which the lessons are
written. When the latter are learned
they are washed out and replaced by
other lessons. W.
During study hours the Arab schools
remind one Of the Chinese, for the
children all study aloud, and as they
chant they rock back and forth like
trees in a storm, and this movement is
continued for an hour or more at a
time. The schoolmaster rocks back and
forth also, and altogether the school
presents a most novel appearance as
well as sound. Worshipers In the
mosques always move about while re-
citing the Koran, as this movement is
believed to assist the memory.
1.-THE desks Of the Arab schools are
old c~ontrivances Of palm sticks, upon
which is placed the Koran or one of
the thirty sections Of 1t. After learn
ing the alphabet the boys take up the
study Of the Koran, ~memorizing entire
chapters of it until the sacred book IL
entirely familiar.
"A peculiar method Is followed In
learning the Koran. The study begins
with the opening chapter, and from
this it skips to the last. The last but
n is then learned, then the last but
two. and SO on in inverted order, end
ing finally with the second chapter.
During the students progress it is
customary for the schoolmaster to
send on the wooden tablet a lesson
painted in black and red and green to
the father, who returns it after inspec-
ton with q couple Of plasters pasted
upon it The salaries Of the school
masters are very meager indeed

How Those Found In the North At

The distance covered by an iceberg
of the north Atlantic from the time
it is formed until it reaches the banks
is fully $500 miles. It may have been
afoat for a year, exposed to wide
changes Of temperature, battered by
Ice foes, possibly other bergs and
ceaselessly washed by the waves. Yet
some Of those seen 1000 miles south
Of their starting point are nearly 500
feet in height and truly of majestic
proportions, often 1000 or more feet
in length, while 1t is an established
scientific fact that so much more. Of
the bulk is under water than is visible
that the largest bergs may extend into
the ocean. to a depth Of over half a
mile. s.s !. +
Their enormous size when, they be-
come detached from the glaciers is
proved by the observations Of explor-
ers along the Greenland coast. A few
years ago a berg was measured as
nearly as possible around the edges.
This distance, was about five miles.
1t had several peaks. estimated to
range from 300 to 500 feet high. Judg-
ing from It's appearance, 1t was a solid
mass that had separated In its entirety
from the glacial edge Of Greenland.
AS arctic navigators who venture
far north often see a score OF more Of
great bergs in a day, the tremendous
glacial activity in this region can be
appreciated. The majority of these
that drift to the Grand banks come
from Melville, bay. Some Of the dis
tinct glaciers that terminate the Green
land ice cap on this coast extend along
it a distance of fully twenty-five miles.
Their thickness or height can only be
estimated, but In places near the open
sea it is believed to be several hun
dred feet. as
Recent examinations Of this coast
show that during the short summe
the formation Of bergs In the bay is
almost continuous. The glacial move
ment keeps pressing the ice forward
until a thick stratum often projects
many feet beyond that beneath. After
a time the great weight overcomes the
tensile strength Of the mass. and It
falls into the sea, and a berg Is ere

How Elephants Cross . River That
Has Steep Banks.

ROW EIoPhantS Crosse River THAI
Has Steep Banks.
It is a great sight to see a line Of
elephants crossing a river with steer
banks. They go down slowly, striking
the ground with their trunks before
each step and never making a slip o,
a miss, although you feel every min.
ute as II they were going to take q
header into the water. Then they
wade OF swim, as the case may be
and they swim beautifully, not hesitat.

any moment and take you under. Be

ting, which In India means an excel
lent chance Of fever.
Having crossed the stream, they
must climb to the top Of the bank, and
this is the most peculiar operation of
all. Down on their knees they go and
with trunk and tusks dig out a foot
hold for themselves and SO step by
step work their way to the top, their
position being sometimes like that of a
fly climbing up a wall. As they reach
the top they give a lurch sideways and
shoot n leg straight over the bank,
then give a lurch to the other side and
shoot out the other leg in the same
way, which brings them into the posi-
ton Of a boy hanging by his arms
from the edge Of a roof. Then they
come to their knees and finally. with
a great scrambling and kicking Of
their hind legs, bring themselves to
level ground again.
In spite Of these perilous' ascents and
descents I never knew an elephant to
miss his foothold. although there was
a case where one of the herd got
stuck In the mud and sank gradually
deeper and deeper until only his head
and part Of his back could be seen.
The rajah ordered ten other elephants
to be brought up. and they were hitch

He pazed Lew Wallace.

Shortly after the first success Of
"Ben-Hur" Lew Wallace had occasion
to go over to London and one day
picked up a pirated copy of the. novel
at a railroad newsstand. To his
amazement he found the subtitle left
off. a preface interpolated and one OF
the chapters rewritten. OF course he
boiled with rage, and as soon as pos
sible he called on the publisher. That
gentleman coolly admitted his crime
and told Wallace he thought the
amended form better adapted to the
British taste, d~oncherknow. His gall
was so ~stupendous that the novelist
was awed and went. away without
splitting his gore.

When Ii Hung Chang was Chinese

which be had reason to suspect con-
tanned poison. He put the cake aside
and set all his powerful machinery
to work to find out who was at the
bottom Of the plot. The Investigation
was partly successful. the crime being
traced to three men, Of whom one at
least raj absolutely guilty. II had
the trio arrested and brought to his
yamen. When they arrived they were
ushered into bis presence and were re-
reived in his courtliest manner. The
cake was produced with the remark
that p~oliteness, forbade his tasting It
until the three generous donors had
had an opportunity to enjoy its excel
lence. II cut the cake, and one Of his
servitors handed it to the unwilling
guests. Each took a piece and ate or
pretended to eat 1t. One crumbled the

The mar was removed and promptly
