On the Plains of sharon.

Leaving Jaffa, we ride for some miles by
nothing but orchards, There are orange
groves loaded with blossoms and fruit
There are orchards Of olives, pomegran-
ties and figs, and many gardens sur
rounded by cactus hedges twice as high as
our heads. Leaving the orchards we enter
the rich plains upon which the Philistnes
lived. The soil is brown and 80 fat that
you have only to tickle it with the pillow
and It laughs with the harvest
Here is a green field of wheat The stalks
stand as thick as grass in the ground and
rise and fall with the winds from the sea.
Gyhere a native is blowing with bullock
land donkey harnessed together The pillow
is the rude, old-fashioned one of the
Scriptures, and the dark-sldnned farmer
steades 1t with one hand while he carries
a goad in the other. Further on are cam
els dragging the plOws. In places we see
flocks of fat sheep, herded by boys, and
now and then pass village OF white
walled houses, with thick roofs Of thatch'
on which the grass grows. Nearly every
house has a roof of sod about a foot deep,
and as we near the hills the towns on their
sides rise up in green terraces.
The landscape here is far different from
that OF the United States, There are no
houses nor barns standing alone In the
fields. There are no outbuildings Of any
description, and no haystacks or straw
stacks The people live in villages and
20 out 20 work in the fields, The only
hences are hedges OF cactus, and the most
OF the holdings are not fenced at all.

The total cost Of the railway was g.,
100000, or a little less than $4,000 per
mile. The road was originated by an
American, a civil engineer named Zmpel,
who came to Palestine as q peddler of a
patent medicine which he called sun

scheme before the sultan at CONSTANT
nople, but failed to get the concession to
build IT. After his death the matter was

The land remains fertile clear to the

places there is nothing but rocks, which
are laid up in such ways as to make one
think they were constructed by man. The
limestone strata are piled stone upon stone,
looking like mighty monuments rising the
hills. In some places whole mountains are
steps, forming pyramids Of white lime
stone, sparsely sprinkled with patches Of
grass and red peoples.

The HiIIs of Jud9a.


The trip from Jaffa to Jerusalem gives
one a fair idea of the character of Pales-
tine. The coastal plain is typical of the
richest part of the country. Its soil is
chocolate brown. the grass is as green as
that of Egypt and there are big orchards
of olives and fruits of all kinds The roads
are carpeted with rich red peoples and
wild flowers are everywhere
Climbing the hills is like jumping from
the Nile valley into the desert. There is
nothing but rocks with a sparse vegeta-
ton scattered here and there through
them. The limestone crops out every
where, and in places mountains of stones
have been picked up in clearing the fields.
Such fields are fenced with stone walls.
There are also corrals for the sheep
