To the Arab God is everywhere and
to Mrs. Mansfeldt their devotion was
amazing. They point out to their chill
dren the value of temperance, clean
illness, purity, courage, resignation and
hospitality. While at Tunis, the guest
of the hey, she was agreeably sur
prised at the even tempered disposi-
ton of the members of the royal fam
fly and the splendid home government
Of which each was part.
TrayeaiEg in the desert was de-
Hghtful pastime without the least sug-
gestion of fear to this San Francisco
woman. True, she says, wild robbers
are constantly sweeping across the
desert, overtaking well laden caravans
and numbering some of the drivers,
but although she penetrated far south
into the Souf region she was rarely
disturbed by the de highway1nan.
Once Amar, her ch-,f camel driver
halted her caravan and pointed to

ton meaning robbers" Then behind

words of disgust and turned about
quickly going out of sight on the hor-
lion. It was fortunate that the fair
American was heavily yelled for if
they had seen her white face and clear
complexion they would have taken her
off for ransom.
Mrs. Mansfeldt tells of her expert
ence in a sirrocco, or south wind
storm. which is the real terror of the
desert:

While in Aigiers Mrs Mansfield was
the guest of the cadi. Boutaleb Boube-
ker, a descendant of the last sovereign
of Algeria, who was subdqed by the
French, and while in the desert she
was looked after personally by Sidi Ell
Hachmi, the marabout of Touggourt
and Ell Oued Souf. When she reached
Temassinin, that section of the Saraha
in which a white woman has never
placed her dainty foot, Mrs Mansfeldr
found that the Arabic language was
not spoken there. but instead an IN

able to translate correctly two long

THE CHRISTIAN ERA IS
 THREE YEARS LATE

According to Professor David Lyon, curator of the Semitic muse um at Harvard university. it is now the year 1913, and to write it 1910 is to assert a historical untruth. Researches, he declared, have defi- nitely esta blished this.
 Professor Lyon declares King Herod died 75O A. U C., instead of 753. according to prevalent belief, and in accepting the latter date as the beginning of the Christian era historians have erred. As Christ is known to have been born a year be- fore Herod's death, he was born in 749.
 From recent researches" said the professor, i've have positive proof that Herod's son, Archileus, was deposed in 759 of the era A. U. c. The records show that he ruled nine years, so that he must have ascended the throne in 75O.
 "Herods other son, Antipast, was deposed in 792 and cones have beer found which show Antipast ruled for forty.two years. He also must have ascended his throne 750 years after the building of Rome.
 We know that Herod, at his death, divided his kingdom between his two sons. Ancient historians placed Herod's death at 753, and this date has been accepted as the beginning of the Christian era. but is now proven that the event oc- cured three years previously"
