err follows:
Its triumphal march through Damascus
stirred the White City of the East from center
to circumference. On its way into the country
1t broke down bridges innumerable, but pulled
itself out of the creek beds beautifully, and II
had the honor of being started on its pioneer
career In the presence OF the governor-genera
of the province, the field marshal in command
of the Fifth army corps and many other gen.
tlemen of high station in Ottoman civil and
military life. With its self-feeder automatic

genuity, and its service to this country In blaz-
ing the way for labor.saving machinery, with
its accompanying amelioration of Industrial and
social conditions in a region east Of Mount
Hermon. where people live and work as did
their forefathers when Abraham crossed their
pastures with his Chaldean hocks, Is beyond
estimation. In the Hauran to-day thousands
of acres are lying idle; they are likely now to
be reclaimed. and the predatory Bedouin tribes
who infest the country will have to retire be-

Consular positions do not pay large sums Of
money, but the life is in many respects an at
tractive one and there are always many APP
plcants for any vacancies which may exist
1t is virtually a necessity that the person who
desires place in the consular service shall be
able to speak at least two modern languages;
that is one in addition to English. While the
examinations are not supposed to be hard some
men who have been through college with credit
in their studies have failed to answer properly
enough of the questions put TO them to give
them hold on the service.

from the descriptions written by most consuls,

wherever the foot of the sand dune rested,
there was hopeless blight. A little wiry grass
grew In the shadow of the heather and gorse,
on which the sheep browsed under the eyes of
solemn-faced shepherds perched on stills and
knitting as they watched. On and on crept the
phalanx of the terrible dunes slowly but surely
blghting all in their path, not only creating a
desert but destroying hope. As long as the
winds blew from the west the dunes marched
to the east; the desert fires ravaged the inter
vening spaces; focks grew fewer, the desola'

The official document then tells us in the
words of its contributor how France was saved
by the adoption of the idea of Bremontier, one
OF the sons of the seemingly doomed region.
The seeds of the pine, the pin maritime" of
the French, We're gathered and sprouted care
fully and the young trees were planted In
places where the moving sands did not over
whelm them until their tough roots had taken
a firm hold, their wiry leaves, which loved the
briny spume, would offer no resistance 10 the
wind, and, falling about their roots would give
shelter and nutriment until forest grew which
would hold the sands in check and save the
threatened interior from desolation"
II was Napoleon who seized upon the idea
of Bremontier. His vision penetrated the
centuries and he saw the march of the deadly
dunes arrested and the desert they had created
made to blossom like the rose"
The consul tells us that after century has
passed the statue of Bremontier looks down
one of the great burrows which lie between the
dunes he showed how to conquer To-
day, as we are told. "the dark squad
rons of the pin maritime are posted on
thousands of sandy slopes, faithful guardians
in the shelter of which the vineyards and wheat
fields rest secure. The gray dunes which were
sweeping over the land have become serried
fortresses which shelter civilization and pros

At least one real live item was contributed

The 1909 pennant in the North
wertern Baseball League has been
won by the Seattle team, with Spo-
kane close second. This is the
first time in ten years that Seattle
has been at the top of the heap.
Last year Vancouver, B. c., won
the championship and the year
before that it went to Aberdeen.
The other teams in the race this
year were Aberdeen, Portland Van
couver and Tacoma, coming after
Spokane in the order named. Pres
President Taft, one of the most
ardent baseball fans in the country
