ARAB SCHOOLS.
Their Peculiar Methods In Teaching
and Studying.

Their Peculiar Methods In Teaching
and Studying.
IAN Arab school," said traveller,
as one of the most interesting places
In Cairo to visit. The children, with
the schoolmaster, sit upon the floor or
the ground in n semicircle, and each
has 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.
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 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 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 contrivanees 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 1t until the sacred book is
entirely familiar.
"a peculiar method is followed In
learning the Koran. The study begins
with the opening chapter, and from
THE 1t skips to the last. The last but
one 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 1t after inspec-
ton with couple Of plasters pasted
upon It. The salaries Of the school.

PAPER FOR MONEY.
Extreme Care and Secrecy Used In lie
Manufacture.

Manufacture.
The various great nations devote
much study to the improvement Of
their secret processes Of manufactur-
ing paper for money and banknotes,
the principal object being, Of course,
to render counterfeiting more and
more difficult.
Our own government guards with
extreme care every detail Of the man
ufacture Of this paper, laying special
Importance upon its secret Of getting
silk thread into the composition Of the
paper itself.
The efforts of this government, how
ever, are not nearly so painstaking as
those put forth in making the fimsy
paper used for Bank Of England notes,
which are probably the finest paper
money in the world These notes are
manufactured from fine Irish linen,
and the peculiar properties of the Test
water $50 called from the river Of that
nance produce paper Of purity and
texture unsurpassed. The secret Of
the security Of the Bank Of England
note against forgery and counterfeit
ing Is said to be entirely in the paper
itself and not In the printing.
In addition, the notes show water
mark so cleverly devised that an ex-
pert from the mill can tell by glance
at the date of manufacture the very
name of the employee who made 1t.
The watermark is produced by de-
sign countersunk in the woven wire
bottoms of the trays In which the hot
paper pulp Is poured and dried. 1t has
never been successfully initiated.
Extraordinary precautions are taken
for the security Of the mill where these
notes are made, as well as of every
thing In the mill. There is, of course,
a staff OF police constantly In attend
ance and private wire to police head
quarters, nine miles away.
The watchmen who patrol the mill
corridors every night must pass at
each quarter of an hour clocks Of Won
derfully ingenious construction, the re-
volving dials Of which are pierced with
holes, which at the precise moment
the Waterman is due before them pass
over slot. The Waterman pushes
through peg he carries, and the clock
ticks on. Should he not present him.

THE SEA ELEPHANT.
His Fearful Jaws the Chief Danger In
an Attack

His Fearful Jaws the Chief Danger In
an Attack.
The chief danger attending the kill
ing Of the sea elephant is in approach
ing too near his terrible Jaws, which
are capable of biting In two an iron
rod the thickness Of ones finger. The
hunter, however, must get pretty close,
as the thick hide and blubber have
rendered the animal practically I'M
pervious to attack, the only vulnerable
point being spot about the size of q
walnut above each eye. Careless hunt
ers have at times got within reach of
the brute's teeth and have escaped
only by dexterously wriggllng from
their clothes. l had occasion once to
shed my coat with great agility, one
of the smaller beasts having caught
me by the sleeve, says Captain b. d.
Cleveland in the American Magazine.
One afternoons kill had been about
forty animals, some OF which had
given me and my four hunters con-
siderable trouble. This was mainly
due to the treacherous footing and the
heavy nature of the work, not only In
killing, but In stripping the ponderous
brutes We were anxious to make the
afternoons kill an even fifty, and night
was fast coming on.
In cutting out two particularly hard
fighters, male and female, ! had
overlooked young bull partly hidden
behind an Ice hummock. We had strip
ped both animals and, walking over
to the hummoek where our guns were
stacked, I was leaning to pick mine
up when, with n below Of rage, the
young bull reared and whipped his
fail-like fippers at me. Luckily the
guns were stacked so as to form tenn
porary barrier, but unluekily one thick
paw was impaled on bayonet. Rear
ing in fresh rage, the animal lunged
at me with incredible speed, swapping
the gun between his javelin teeth as
though It were a straw. 1 leaped back
ward, but slipped.
Instantly he clutched at my body,
but missed in the semidarkness, lunged
and clutched again, catching my right
arm In his powerful NAV. His awk-
wardness enabled me to regain my
feet, but. with ripping tug. the AMI
NAL fastened on to the sleeve OF my
heavy skin jacket, out Of which
slipped just as one Of my men drove 4
harpoon into him just above the eye.

LAND HUNGRY.

Two or three years ago there were
millions of acres of land subject to
entry in the region between the Mis-
souri, river and the Black Hills, in
western South Dakota, the region hav-
ing formerly been a part of the Great
Sioux reservation.
The construction of two lines of
railroad from the Missouri river to
the Black Hills resulted in the rapid
settlement of the immense region by
white h~omesteaders.
So great has been the influx of
homesteaders that practically every
acre of government land now has been
entered. The great scarcity of land
in that region is shown by the fact
that two homestead entries recently
were made on land lying almost en-
tirely within the breaks of the
Cheyenne river. Neither homestead
contains over twenty-five acres of till
able land, while the persons who made
the entries will each be required to
pay the government for the full 100
acres. 1t is suggested that the par
an article recently published under
tie title Land Panic" in which it
was predicted in twenty years from
now, at the present rate of increase
III population the proportion of land for
each individual would not exceed four
acres.
At any rate the recently occupied
land between the Missouri river and
the Black Hills is increasing in value
beyond the nose sanguine expectations
Of two short years ago. At that time
accomplishments covering good quarter
sections Of land (160) were rejected
at $3.50, which today could not be
purchased for less than $40 per acre.
Real estate men who have investi-
gated the prospect of purchasing either
relinQuishments or decided land in this
region report that every homesteader
on q good quarter section of land Is
holding the same at prices ranging
from SIS to $50 per acre for improved
homesteads. Many refuse to even con-
slider offers of $25 per acre.
The government charged fifty cents
an acre for the land, and prior to the
construction Of the two railroad lines
across this region two or three years
ago, the land found no takers even
at this low price.
