Miss Zoe Boyle Explains Workings of

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 it 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

HYPNOTIC AID is REFUSED
New York Magistrate Rejects Offer
of Services of professor of
Hypnotism."

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 a professor of hypnotism." He
informed the magistrate he was ready
to place himself temporarily at the
service of the court.

said. II am needed here. Nothing

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

Remnant of French Panama

Costly Machinery Brought Over by
Backers of Ferdinand de Lesseps
Being Sent to Furnaces to
Be Made Over.

Harrisburg, Pa.-The ghost of old
Ferdinand de Lesseps, the French en-
gineer, would stand aghast were it to
visit the yards Of the Harrisburg Iron
and Steel company and see what is be-
ing done with the costly machinery
and equipment which he shipped from
France to the Isthmus of Panama in
the '70s, to aid in the construction of
the big ditch that was to be dug solely
by French labor, conducted by French
skill and paid for by French cash from
the strong box of the banker and the
humble wooden sock of the French
peasant.
AS all the world knows, after De Les
seps had made such a great success in
building the Suez canal, he was urged
to greater efforts to build a canal
across the Isthmus of Panama to con-
meet the Atlantic and Pacific oceans;
and he set about the task with fer

The latter was up the masthead be-
fore any mischief could be done, and
a lieutenant, the proprietor of the
orangoutang, the quartermaster, and
member of the crew flung themselves
upon the hungry python-one at the
head another at the tail, and third
in the middle.
Then the fun began, for the python
wanted to get one of the aggressors
nicely in it's coils, and the men were
determined it should be kept out in
something as nearly approaching
straight line as possible.
For a minute it was the LAGOON
group all over again, only in this case
the three men and the snake were
sprawling over the deck instead OF
standing upright in a classic attitude.
Reinforcements, however, arrived in
hot haste, and about 20 bluejackets.
each embracing a foot of python, re-
duced the reptile to comparative
ouiescence. The procession marched
back to the python's box, coiled the
creature inside, and shut it up. But
the orangoutang sat aloft in the mast
head a long time before he came to
the conclusion that he was of the
menu for the day.

LIVELY TIME WITH PYTHON
Crew en- British Gunboat Has E<ctin9
Experience When Reptile
Breaks Loose.

Once when the British gunDoat rat
tier was in eastern waters the ere"
had a lively time looking AFTER
python on board that got loose.
Besides the python there was on
board a big Borneo orangoutang. Inc
python. which was 10 or 20 teet III
length, having dined heartily on a
deer about three weeks before, began
to feel its appetite returning, ana IN
searching about its box for place OF
egress found one side in bad repair
1t did not take the python long 10
come through the weak part, ana
quite unobserved, it began its peram-
bulations around the boat.
Seeing the orangoutang chained up
a few yards of, the big snake invited
itself to a dinner very much to us
taste 1t would have been all ever
with the orangoutang had not the
quartermaster at that moment MADE
the discovery that the two pets were
about to be merged into one. he
promptly cut the orangoutang loose.

when De Lesseps and his merry men
began to dig the ditch that failed.
There was only one thing to do with
this old stuff, and that was to gather
it, ship it north and sell it for junk,
to be remelted in the Yankee smelling
pot, to make useful things. Tons upon
tons of it were sent to New York and
sold, and among those who got share
was the Harrisburg Iron and Steel
company. Thus far Harrisburg has
handled 1900 tons of this scrap. As
none of it can be used for it's original
purpose, as fast as it is received here
it is cleaned of the rust of years and
the mud of Panama and sent to fur
naces, for there is always demand
for it, because of its quality.

black camePs-hair tent is probably of
the same shape as that of the patri-
archal days, and is made in such a
manner as to facilitate it's erection
and it's removal and transportation on
the backs Of burden-bearing camels.
The Bedouin is surrounded in his
wanderings by just as many camels,
oxen and other animals as was the
wealthy patriarch Of early days.
Biblical Scenes Rehearsed.
In the fields one sees living illus
trations of many of the parallels, and
in the villages are rehearsed many in
cidents mentioned in the Bible. There
is a great variety of homes to be seen
in Palestine representing the various
stages of the evolution of homes
from the abodes in the rocks of the
poor peasant or the leper to the mod
ern stone house of the wealthy Mo-
hammedan. There are the more pic
turesque homes made of tWigs and
branches. These are literally "a sha-
dow in the day time from the heat"
They are also made of cloth from
camePs hair-and merely supported
by long, rude poles. Then there are
the houses of clay.
The ovens in these mud-hut villages
are also made of clay, one large one
serving for the use of the whole viii
Iage. The Israelites of old used just
such ovens. They heated them by
fires of dried twigs and grasses. The
loaves were placed inside and around
them.
The houses have fat roofs. These
fat earthen roofs are not much pro-
lection against transforms. They soon
become soaked and then commences
disagreeable dripping of water
through the roof, which continues day
and night In summer the people
sleep upon their roofs, and some spend
the day there, taking their cooking
utensils up.
In olden days every city had high,
wide walls. 1t was possible to walk
around the city upon them. Today
parts of the walls of Jerusalem are
wide enough for this. The gates of a
city were always closed at sunset.
Caravans arriving after dark were
obliged to wait outside until morning
Travellers on foot could enter the city
by the small door of the gate, which
was known in the gospel days by the
fgurative expression: THE eye of the
needle" Christ was referring to this
custom of making the camels wait
outside the gates until dawn, because

found, had been subsisting on fresh

The Oracle Spoke True.

When Josephine Preston Peabody,
known in real life as Mrs. Lionel
Marks, found that her play, THE
Piper" and another had been given to
the duke of Argyle to read and to
choose between them for the $500
prize, she consulted an oracle in the
shape of copy of Shakespeare in her
hand, opening at random. The line
that first attracted her attention was,
"All that l will tell you is that the
duke hath dined," from Midsummer

ww WHAT has been one of the
chief charms of the Holy
EFM Land for Bible students will
before long be a thing of
the past. After centuries,
even millenniums. of conservatism in
customs and speech, the barrier to en-
iightenment has been broken down
by the Young Turks, and men OF en-
terprise have been invited to enter
PaIestine-so long held in bondage by
the late sultan-and to form it into
modern and progressive country
With the entry of civilization and
modern culture the many peculiar
customs which have been observed
since the days of the patriarchs, and
the poetical speech OF the natives
which re-echo words of the prophets,
will soon be banished. For even III
the smallest actions of their life the
people rehearse Biblical scenes OF the
DAYS of the patriarchs and speak TO
each other in the poetical phraseology
of the Psalmist and the prophets,
quite unconsciously.
Perhaps the most interesting figure
in Oriental life is the tall, dark Be-
douin, whose life resembles in every
detail that of Abraham OF old. Even
he, illiterate and ignorant as he is,
wanderer of the desert, living the
most primitive life, embodies his ideas
in highly metaphorical language. HIS

the ceremonies were of a peculiarly
lively character, and the distinguished
initiate is said to have enjoyed them
hugely. The character of the doings
may be judged from the illustrations
representing stunts through which
the ex-president was put. From the
expression On his face it may be
judged that the fun in no way dis
