SEEK HOLY RELICS
MISSION OF EXPLORATION IN
PALESTINE.
solomon's Temple and other Things
of Interest to the Christian World
Are Sought So Far With
out Any Result.

King Solomon's temple, the ark or
the covenant, Aaron's rod and tho
seven-branched golden eandlestick
which stood in the holy of holies-
these are just a few of the treasures
for which a party of young English
men are now eXcavating in Palestine
In the ~neighborbood of Jerusalem.
The majority of experts are OF the
opinion that these treasures are not
to be found where they are now be-
ing looked for. but the members OF
the expedition have other information
upon which they place reliance.
This is n e%ryptogram, which Is said
to have been found in the Talmud by
a Finnish engineer and which Is
thought 10 give a elew to the place
where the treasures of King Solomon
are hidden. Exactly what this cryptic
gram Is has naturally been kept secret
by the Finnish engineer, but he has
convinced his supporters In the en-
terprise of its reliability, and already
a good teal of work has been done
toward a practical demonstration OF
its accuracy or ~inaceuracy.
Perhaps even more interesting
than the search for King solomon's
treasures is the composition of the
party engaged in 1t. At the head of
the syndicate is Clarence Wilson.
brother-in-law of Lady Sarah Wilson,
and n very wealthy man. Then there
Is Robert Vivian Duff, commonly
known as Robin, a lieutenant In the
G%renadier Guards and husband of
Lady Juliet Duff, perhaps the t%allest.
as she Is certainly one of the most
beautiful women in London society.
With these Is associated Hon. Cyril
Ward, a brother Of the earl of Dudley
and of Hon. John Ward. who married
Miss Jean Reid. daughter of he
American ambassador to England.
Cyril Ward, like Wilson and Duff. is
a man of means, having married Bar
oness de Bremen. a great Dutch heir
ess. Other members of the syndicate
are Capt. Montague b., Parker of he
Grenadier Guards, a brother of he
earl of Morley; and two other guards
men, Hon. Mr.. Walsh and Mr.. Foley.
Three months ago. the necessary
permits having been obtained from
the Turkish government. the party
sailed for Palestine in a yacht spe-
clally purchased for the purpose by
Mr.. Wilson, and work was shortly aft
erward started in the neighborhood OF
the Pool of Sloan. Sixty men were
engaged as laborers, and tho eXcava-
tions went merrily on. They are still
going on, but. perhaps less merrily.
for up to the present nothing has
been discovered to reward their la
bors. One by one the heads of the
| expedition are returning to England,
and Clarence Wilson got back home
a few days ago., some of the others
having preceded him. Capt. Parker,
Mr.. Walsh and Mr., Foley still remain
in Palestine, and 1t is supposed that
the party have not yet given up hope
of discovering the treasures they set
out to seek.

RAILROADS BAR THE SALOON
Argument for Abstinence Advanced by
Big Corporations as a Condition
3, of Employment.

Further progress in the new tenn
perance movement In which corpora
tions are arrayed against the saloon Is
evidenced by the rule n the mills of
the steel trust f%orbidding employees
to leave their work to get a drink.
This regulation, affecting as It. does
many thousands of workmen. Is cal
culated to do more for practical TEN:
perance than any amount of per-
%suasion.
Many of the railroads also enforce
sobriety in employees. Under the new
system of discipline on the Burling-
ton road drunkenness In an operating
employee is cause for dismissal with
out appeal. The Northern Pacific pro-
hibits the use of liquor by trainmen
either on or off duty. Employees of
the New York Central, the Pennsyl-
vania and the New Haven who drink,
do SO at the risk of discharge. The
Chicago & Eastern Illinois forbids
trainmen to frequent saloons, and the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas has only
recently issued an order making the
cash1ng or an employees pay check
by a saloonkeeper evidence warrant.
ing dismissal.
The attitude of the corporations
toward liquor has become an impor-
,,tant factor in a practical movement
the progress of which within five years
has been one of the notable reforms
of the time. The appeal Is no longer
to the self-respect but to the pocket.
The argument for abstinence is ad-
vanced not as a theory but as a con.
adition of employment.
The extent to which corporations
and other large employers of labor
have become instrumentalities of a
general moral uplift is one of the re-
markable developments of modern
business life. The order of the West
ern Electric Company requiring en-
ployes to abstain from gambling,
drinking and immortality is not the
only example of this exercise by a
corporation of censorship over the
conduct of employees.

Ave! There's the Rub.

The amateur sociologist was airing
his views to an admiring and high
proved audience. A professional poll
tician, ~cleyerly disguised as an East
side settlement worker, had managed
to pass the sacred portals, and was OBJ
scurely ensconced in a dark corner.
Graft Is the curse of the American
government" exclaimed the amateur
sociologist. THE rich man can buy
his way to political power, not that
he wishes to serve the people, but
simply to increase his wealth."
Hear! Heart" cried the high
proved audience. after the manner OF
the English.
"Huh!" came a grunt from the cor
ner.
I'VE don't want the rich man In
politics." continued the speaker.
What this country needs in office Is
the poor man."
How are you going 20 keep him
poor?' came a strident voice from the
corner.
And the amateur sociologist was
forced to admit that he hadn't thought
of that.

PLAN FOR DEHORNING CATTLE
Practical Chute Arranged That Does
Away with All Unnecessary
Struggle of Beast.

In constructing a dehorning chute
no door at the entrance is needed.
When the animal enters, a stout stick
is thrust behind him into the cleats
one one side of chute, used to force
him into the proper position and then
fastened by dropping a pin into the
nearest hole in the specially arranged
piece on the other side. Such an ar
rangement practically does away with
all body struggle. A chute, with the
front as little INSTRUCTED as possible,
makes it easier to induce an animal to
enter. What head movement it Is
necessary to subdue after trap is
closed is best accomplished by tying
the head down to a ring.
Chute is 6 feet long, 6 feet high and
3 feet wide. The dimensions should
correspond as nearly as possible to the
average sized animal, because the less
freedom of movement the better. The
floor Is narrowed to IL inches, with
tight, slanting sides up to a height of
three feet. Each jaw of trap is sep

LITTLE RUM DRINKING AT SEA
Seasoned Traveller Discusses condl-
tons That Have Come About
in Most Natural Way.

Capt. George B.. Beardsley. a we'll
known American traveller in the far
east, who sailed the other day ON the
North German Lloyd liner Berlin for
China via the Suez canal, thinks that
the most striking feature in ocean
travel today is the steady decrease
in the consumption of liquor aboard
ship. 1t was noticeable. said Capt.
Beardsley just before he sailed. not
only in the Atlantic trade, but in all
parts of the world. and on vessels of
all nations.
when | first sailed to the East In
dies 35 years ago said the captain,
the quantity of the liquor supply was
the chief anxiety of the owners of
passenger ships. Food and accommo.
dations were secondary issues. 1t was
the same way with the crew. If the
sailors complained they couldn't eat
their lobscouse or salt horse a glass
of rum settled the difficulty until the
scurvy came along and ate 'em alive.
To-day the crews live better than
most working men ashore, and rum.
except in some foreign %nayies, is un-
known.
"On the big passenger liners across
the Atlantic the falling off in the bar
receipts has proved a serious loss to
the steamship companies. A quarter
of a century ago the saloon tables
groaned with the weight of cham
payne bottles. Captain and officers
sat at the head of their tables and
took their share. That is all changed
now. Captains and officers rarely take
stimulants at sea. The passengers
mostly indulge in free lemonade and
iced tea. 1t is rarely that you see an
intoxicated man"
What do you think is the cause?'
Capt. Beardsley was asked.
II think the principal reason" said
the captain, is that men who travel
to-day have more sense and take bet.
ter care of themselves than their fore.
fathers did. When | first went out to
Shanghai it was considered impossible
for any white man to go east and do
any business, a1oat or ashore, unless
he made an %ambulating brandy filling
canteen of himself. Ten years of that,
combined with the tropical heat and
feyers usually sent him out with the
tide. as they call dying in the east,
or ruined his constitution for the rest
of his short career.
Drinking on the steamships ira,
ding to India, China and Japan has
fallen off quite so per cent, and a
mar can go round the world and do
his business to-day without taking a
drink of anything stronger than gin
ger ale. All this has been accom-
plished without any laws IN the sub
ject or any organized prohibition
movement. Just common horse sense
has conquered the liquor habit"

however. it is less numerous, since
the draining of the morasses was be-
gun. 1t is still fairly common in Hol-
land and Belgium, but in France,
owing to its being prosecuted and the
fact of none of the original race sur
viving. it is seen only as a bird of
passage. In Alsaee and Lorraine its
better treatment is rewarded by a
certain number remaining during the
summer to breed.
In passing through Savoy in April
and in the early autumn 1t meets with
heartless persecution, especially on
its return toward the south. when the
young birds are often much %fatigued.
1t occurs generally throughout Turkey
and is fairly common in Greece. 1t is
met with occasionally in central Italy
and Sicily, and is plentiful in some
parts of A%ndalusia.
1t is believed that on n of their
%migrations which took place a little
after the middle of last century the
white storks experienced some sort of
catastrophe, as they returned in great
ly reduced numbers, and ever since
then they have been considerably less
numerous than before. The periods
of migration with the storks are very
regular. They arrive in central Eu-
rope generally between March 10 and
25 and prepare to depart a about the
end of August, first c~ongregating in
large bands, which break up as the
adult individuals come and collect the
young together to conduct them south
ward. 1t appears that they migrate in
large loeks. flying mostly by night.
The males and females, it Is sup
posed, migrate separately, the former
undoubtedly arriving about a week
before the latter to take charge of
the old nest or to settle on a favorable
spot for notification.
Wherever the stork is met with In
Europe, excepting in parts where its
occurrence Is rare, where 1t meets
with the common fate of rarity, 1t is
protected. The peasants mostly hold
it as sacred and consider is as a sort
of protector or house god to the house
on which it nests. and one will some.
times sell a nest to a neighbor to
bring him luck, in which case the bird
will discover the new situation of its
pest and continue to occupy it.

that her hair a whitened by the

Queen Sophia conducted the entire

WAS TAUGHT BY EXPERIENCE
Minister, Once in Favor of Licensing
Liquor Traffic, Learns Wisdom
by Work Among Poor.

They who have to deal with the
problem of poverty soon declare their
conviction of the close relation be-
tween the saloon and restitution and
crime. The Rev. DR.. William M. Hess,
an interchangeable worker among the
poor, in a letter recently published,
says:

liquor question, and after 25 years
experience with such men as form our
Bowery bread line, l must say that |
