fore the present pilgrimages-this was the
route by which the gold, frarkincense. and
Arabian products found their way into Syria:
but the Suez canal and steamer transport by
the Red sea seem to have abolished all, or
almost ALL trade prospects. and only the pill
grims remain.
On leaving Maan 1t may inded be said that
all hope of dividend is left behind and the line

dying camels as the caravan toied along The
line crosses constant succession of small wa
dis.
Some SO miles south of Maan comes the most
remarkable change In the landscape and the
veritable gate of Arabia and the home of the
genie is at last reached The line arrives quite
suddenly at the edge of the curious escarpment
known as the Batn-elGhrul, the Hollow OF
the Genie.
From the station OF Batn-elGhrul at the top
of the descent, the traveller walk to the
edge of the cliff and take in the immense

The escarpmcnt is visible for some 20 miles to
the east and is sheer clin without, 1t is said,
a single passage of descent. For some is miles
to the west, also the escarpment is fairly well
defined. until 1t merges in the high ranges
erlooking the Gulf of Akaba. The pilgrim route
follows the descent close alongside the line

gether.
The view from the summit is extremely stri-

black rocks, at first sight volcanic, but, as
wac told by an engineer. they were really of
sandstone blackened by the intense heat OF the
sun. The depression extends south for a dis

the country to the east gave It as an almost

AT Tebuk 430 miles from Damascus, is the
nrst oasis OF any size. and here depot has
been formed. at which the railroad can re-
coup itself before another long strentch OF
nearly waterless desert is entered and the next
depot at El Ula reached. A group OF buildings
Tor the employees, small repairing shop and
hospital with 60 beds form the principal part
OF the depot.
Tebuk consists OF group of date palms

houses. with few walled gardens belonging
to the permanent Inhabitants of Tebuk All
that were seen were of a distinctly negroid

Besides date palms, there are In the gardens

gineer In charge of this section had managed
to make garden in the sand where by means
OF irrigation he grew most kinds of European
vegetables. but none of the Inhabitants seemed
inclined to copy his example.
1t seems certain that Mohammed visited Te-
buk In his earlier wanderings, and tradition
refers to Jebel Sherora as the Pulpit of the
Prophet, probably from It's commanding post-

The landscape gets bleaker as the train
moves south. The mountains of Moab are
passed some distance to the west, and the
track is laid far out in the desert where the
valleys are wide and easy to cross, and before
trey deepen into narrow ravines as they enter
the mountains.
The old pilgrim route is followed very close
ly throughout and at the stations the stone
cisterns and reservoirs. to provide supply of
water to the pilgrims are noticed. Water be-
comes very scarce; in few places wells have
been dug and water is raised by wind-pumps.
For some reason boring for artesian wells
does not seem to have been tried. One at
tempt was made in rocky ground, and when
the drills broke further attempts were
made.
AS the line approaches Maan an extremely
desolate country is traversed. Low ranges ap-
pear to the east. apparently of sandstone or
limestone formation. although the ground Is

by Italian workmen, with some Greeks and

1t IS difficult to think of this railroad be-
coming a great highway or developing any
great trade with Central Arabia, as the sec
tfon from Maan to Medina traverses an untro-
ductive country without possibility OF develop
