keeping a watchful eye on them may
have been looking forward to a fish
banquet. The least appetlZing fish were
some homely grey little ones, which

They were all very much alive and were

the only live articles to be purchased
| There were rows of lobster, mostly dis
played on their backs with all legs
working overtime, and a lot of crawling
crabs and quivering devil fish.
On the same stalls in the middle of
the market were displayed all of the
meats and all ont where you could pick

the choice of the white man and the
Chinese. The Chnaman fingers long

Never in my life have I seen such a
mixture 4 mixture of narionalities,
mixture of languages, mixture of vehl-
eies, mixture of viands and a perfect
babel of mixed sounds. The largest
sound of all came when a Chinaman
drove mp in a rickety wagon drawn by
a smokey white and a pale pinto pony.
IN the vehicle were many wooden trays
flled with fish. The driver stood up
on the seat anu rang a cracked bell,
which was the signal for a perfect
swarm of Cinnamon and japanese to
gather round the trays. which were be-
ing spread out on the sidewalk. Then
the bidding began. The bidders called
out their bids in their own language
and the auotiOneer repeated them in
English, while an assistant stood by and
made notes in a book. The last tray of
fish I saw sold contained some fifteen
or twenty medium small silver eolored
fish and was knocked down to a China
man for 1925. / had been lead to be-

were fish of all sizes and more than all

was more salt to be had for the asking

Jerusalem Water Supply.

Ever since the days of Solomon, and
probably before that, the water supply
Of Jerusalem has been matter of
some difficulty.
Today Jerusalem, with its $4,000 in
habitants, depends almost entirely on
rain for it's water supply, says the
United States consul in a report, but
in many cases the roofs and cisterns
are filled with surface water, and the
unsanitary elements with which the
water is impregnated are held respon-
sible for large percentage of the fe-
vers and other diseases prevalent to-
wards the end of the dry season.
About seven and one-half miles to
the south on the carriage road to He
bron are three enormous reservoirs
known as Solomon's Pools. These were
constructed in the bed of a valley
across which heavy walls were thrown
and cemented. and are large enough
to contain 100000 gallons Of water.
From these pools there was a ma
sonry aqueduct built, said to have
been the work of Solomon, which car
ried the water to the temple in Jeru-
salem. At one point this conduit
went through a mountain by tunnel.
In the second century the Romans
probably under Pontius PLATE, began
to execute q most ambitious scheme
which they seemingly we're never able
to finish. The present scheme is to
pump water from Ain Farrah, foun-
tain about twelve or thirteen kilome-
ters to the northeast of Jerusalem and
500 meters lower. The water Is Of the
best quality and gushes out from be-
meath solid rock cliffs.
