GLIMPsEs or PERsIA's SHAH.
Nationalists' Chief Opponent Is Large.
" Russian In Taste and Looks.

Nationalist Chief Opponent Is Large.
ly Russian In Taste and Looks.
Mohammed Ali, the present shah Of
Persia. who is said to have taken
refuge in the Russian legation at
Teheran from the attacks of the Ma
tionalists. succeeded the late shah.
Muzaf far ed Din, in January. 1907. He
was born in 1872 and was the fayorite
son of his father. When the Nation
alfsts in the latter part Of his fathers
reign started a movement for con-
stitution the heir apparent was their
chief opponent The display of force
made by the Constitutionalists. how
ever. forced the late shah to grant
their demands.
During his fathers reign Moham-
med Ali served first as provincial gov
ernor over part of the Persian domin-
ions and subsequently as regent His
father had practically given up ruling
the domain during his last illness, and
the affairs Of state were handled by
the son. In these posts Mohammed
Ali showed keen intelligence and abil-
ity.
Mohammed is largely Russian in
taste and appearance. He has kept
Russian counselors around him, and
he appointed Lieutenant Colonel Liah-
koff, a Russian officer, to command his
troops. In doing so he evidently look
ed to the Russian government for sup
port to keep him in power. He made
treaties by which Russia and England
were pledged to act in unison in all
matters concerning Persia and as a
result found both countries ready to
help him with loans.
Mohammed All has always feared
Turkish aggression and the movement
for constitutional government alike.
He allowed parliament to meet. but
soon got into trouble with it. Accord
ing to the Persian constitution. the
parliament had the right to choose
and dismiss all cabinet officers Ac-
cordingly, after some trouble. the
shah's ministers, much against his
will, were dismissed for some act
which did not accord with parlia-
ment's views.
The quarrel between the shah and
parliament was aggravated by a plot
In which one of his brothers was i'm
plicated. together with several impor-
tant members of the Constitutionalist
parliament. Two bombs were thrown
at the shah while he was riding in
February. 1908, but both missed him.
He considered parliament accessory TO
this attack and called upon it to give
up the guilty members. This demand
was met with open defiance. and the
advisabiIity of the shah's deposition
was openly discussed.
The shah withdrew from his palace
and intrenched himself on the out
skirts of Teheran. sending Colonel
Liahkoff with body of royal troops
to lombard the parliament building.
Parliament was dispersed, and the
constitution was withdrawn.

AUTO IN SAHARA DESERT.
First Trip Excited Genuine Curiosity.
Arab Chief Delighted With a Ride.

Arab Chief Delighted With Ride.
The first automobile journey in the
Sahara desert was recently made by
Edward E. Aver of the Field museum.
In Chicago. and Mrs Aver. Among the
incidents was the acquaintance Of the
chief of nomads. who was given a
seat in the car to insure pacific rela-
tons. The car was shipped from Par
is to Algiers. After skirting northern
Africa Mr.. Aver says:
I'VE kept our course south over the
desert to the oasis of Biskra. where
we found growing 100000 date palms
At Biskra began the $50 mile trip to-
ward the heart OF the desert Over
the barren desert we urged our car to
Tougart
'sThis journey over the sands AMI
rocks was a pioneering effort 80 far
as a big touring car was concerned
We were forced to carry strips OF
mating, each thirty feet in length
which could be stretched before the
machine when we came. to reaches u
soft sand.
"The automobile excited the most
genuine curiosity. remember In par
ticular one Arab chief who r..de fer .
long time on his beautiful horse al ths
side of the car. His band followed
not far in the rear Finally NE &u9
gested that he fismount and rice With

DECREASE IN THE USE OF
WHISKEY.

Now and then some enthusiastic anti
in defending the liquor traffic is bold in
the assertion that there is as much
whiskey and beer drank now as before
the prohibition wave swept over the
country. The best refutation of such
statement is in the report of the
United States Government. According
to the Official returns of the Internal
Revenue Bureau of recent date, the
whiskey tax collections last year were
$I34,886,o34 as against $I4oI58,So7 for
the preceding year. The receipts of
beer and other fernented liquors
amounted to $s7,4so.4II, decrease of
S2.3si .aos compared with 1903
The decrease in the use of whiskey
and beer is due not alone to the senti.
ment OF prohibition which is increasing
amazingly, but also to the fact that men
who heretofore have been liberal con-
SINNERS of intoxicants, such as whiskey
and beer, are realizing the baneful eff
fects of such stimulants, as being detri-
mental To health, besides absorbing a
great percentage of their earnings. And
men too are growing to be more tenn
perate and find greater satisfaction in
the indulgence in cold drinks in SUM
naer and warm drinks in winter 1t is
only question of few years when
whiskey and beer and all such intoxi-
c&nts which rob good men of their rea-I
son and leads 30 pauperism, will be toll
Grated in few communities, and in time
4 drunken man will stand discredited
regardless Of his station in life. I'm
questionably one of the strong links
TO prohibition are the soda water foun-l
tains and the establishments where non.
intoxicating beverages can be Obtained
In solving this question the same rule
which applies in cities and towns where
prohibition has eliminated the license
contributed through the saloons ami
the brewery must be applied to the
government Of the United States. As
the cities and towns which are thriving
without the saloon license, the govern
ment must provide other Sources Of
revenue besides the tax on whisiey and
beer. Temperance and prohibition go
land IN hand Prohibition is stronger
soday IN the United States than it has
evex been. It's strength lies in its ac-
eosnphshment Of practical results for
the betterment of mankind. If the
liquor traffic did not realize. as force
fully IS they do, their doom. which they
can not turn aside, they would not ex-
hibit 50 keenly their enforced ridicule
Of the prohibition nor would their OPP
position Be As deterninedly radical nor
IS persistent as it is. IN the Official
record Of the United States Internal
Revenue Bnseau is the story which ali
Intelligent men can read and interpret
practically.

particles dancing about in the light.
You will be told by most persons that
there IS just as much dust in the non
Illuminated parts Of the room us in the
more favored spaces. but you cannot
see the particles because the rays do
not fall directly upon them. You will
think that this is eIninently plausible.
but it is not the case. The sun falling
upon the air creates irregular currents.
and these currents stir up the dust and
collect il in layers along the line OF
light hence there is more dust where
the sun shines than elsewhere. 4 Gu
rious experience In Il museum gave
proof of this. 1t was noticed that
there was always more dust on the
glass cases exposed to the sunbeamS
than on those which were never touch
