They tell me that Bobby Burns the
Latin sharp of the Evening Sun, met his
match through the evil genius of a lit
erary comrade of Park Row. Burns
knows Latin SO well that he can think
in 1t, and there are times when he can
be persuaded to trot out a few quarter
sections Of Latin poetry for the edifica-
ton of his friends. On the occasion of
which I am about to speak Burns had
obliged so vastly that a wicked member
of the party said to him with an air of
man seeking to know:
Il heard little Latin phrase when
was a boy in school, but I was such a
poor scholar that I have forgotten what
it means. wish you would help me out
Fire away said Burns.
well, it runs like this: In pi ne taris,
mo ak non els; in mu declsa re; inclay

Burns puzzled half an hour without
discovering that the piece of foolery
with which he was wrestling was, in the
simple English: I'm pine tar Is, in oak
none is; in mud cells are, in clay none

HYPNOTIC AID is REFUSED
New York Magistrate Rejects Offer
Of Services Of "Profeeccr of
Hypnot,sm."

New York.-A simple and easy
means of solving all marital troubles
by hypnotism has just been refused
consideration by Magistrate Cornell,
presiding officer of New York's court
of domestic relations.
A tall, dark man of impressive ap-
pearance called upon Magistrate Cor
nell the other day and introduced him
self as professor of hypnotism." He
informed the magistrate he was ready
to place himself temporarily at the
service of the court.
81 can be of vast assistance" he
said. 81 am needed here. Nothing
can stand against my powers. Let a
couple who are at war come to me.

Magistrate Cornell said he would
take the name of the professor and
send for him if he was needed, but
that he would try to worry On unaided
fer while.

from the Volga and the Danube rivers
to the Ganges and from the Indian
ocean to the polar sea. The tribute of
thousand tribes and the homage of
seven-and-twenty conquered nations
were laid at his feet here But all this
glory has departed and for five centu-
ries Samarkand has been dying.
All the imposing structures that
once gave Samarkand its reputation as
the finest city in Asia have either dis
appeared or are in an advanced stage
of decay and dilapidation. They have
been almost entirely stripped of the
adornments that made them famous,
and the earthquakes that occur every
few years diminish the number of tur-
quoise and azure domes and the dimen-
sions of the enameled walls. and in
crease the heaps of debris which now
cover the ground. No effort has been
made by the government or the priests
or the people to restore or even to ar
rest the ravages of time or to protect
ments that have stood here for ages
against the vandals, the earthquakes
and other destructive agencies that
have made Samarkand a wreck of its
former magnificence.
You would think there would be suf-
ficient pride, piety and patriotism in
the Mohammedan world to perpetuate
monuments and institutions chiefly &c
clesiastic in their origin and purpose,
but the same conditions appear in
every country whore Islam prevails,
except in Constantinople, Cairo and
one or two other cities. I'd
Islam is a dying religion. 1t has
reached hopeless stage of decay, II
the appearance of it's mosques and me
dresses, its shrines, the mausoleums of
its saints, its cemeteries and other pub
lie institutions may be accepted as evi.
dence. l have never seen new
mosque in any Mohammedan country;
do not know of one that has been
built within the last century, and few
have been repaired. Everywhere the
Indifference is the same; everywhere
the same degree of dilapidation may
be found, even in the most fanatical
cities like Bokhara and Damascus.
The Persians used to call Saiaar-
kand the center Of the universe, the
hub, like Boston. 1t was the Athens OF
Asia for learning and culture. but a
Babylon for extravaganza and vice.
The luxury and immortality of its
rulers and its citizens was the cause
of its decay. Its population at the
zenith of its glory was million; now
il has scarcely LIS. 900 Inhabitants.

IN THE SCRAP HEAP

Vor and a desire to enrich his coun-
rrymen az well IS to add luster to his
own name and reputation. 1t was too
expensive a transaction, however, and
after the French government with
drew its patronage and the French
people declined longer to contribute,
there came scandals without number
that shocked the world, and De Les
seps withdrew to France to die of a
broken heart.
In the abandonment the French com
pany left on the ground all of its ma
chinery, some of which had never been
IN use, consisting of locomotives, steel
cars, huge steel scoops and dredges,
valuable tools Of iron and steel, bridges
that had been made in France and
were ready to put together, huge
cranes, levers and costly casting ma
terial.
This costly outfit lay in the path of
the American engineers when they
came to dig the new ditch which Uncle
Sam has in course of construction.
Some of 1t was covered with mud a
foot deep; some of it gathered rust an
inch deep in the forests of the tropics;
locomotives that cost thousands in
France lay upturned, the resting places
OF the swamp birds, and monkeys
swung from one bridge piece to the
other as had done their ancestors
