RECIPROCITY DISCUSSED
At Portland Economic Club Dinner
Argument Pro and Con.

Portland. Me, March 16.-President AL
bett Clark of the Home Market Club,
Henry NJ. Whitney of Boston and John B.
Osborne of the bureau of trade relations of
the state department at Washington dis
cussed reciprocity Wednesday at the
Portland Economic Club dinner. Col
Clark declared that the greatest objection
he brought against the agreement was
that it makes a large inroad upon the
protective policy of the country. He said
that it Disseminated against the far
mers. lumbermen and fishermen and that
it was entirely one-sided and to Canada S
advantage. His concluding point was
that as it is not a treaty it would with
out doubt be terminated by one side Or
the other within three years.
Mr.. Whitney said that the opening of the
agriculture area OF Canada as a source of
food supply, was most important to the
country. He declared that Maines slow
growth was due to the fact that she had been
barred from trade relations with the coun-
try to the north, and that had reciprocity
prevailed 20 years ago, Canada would not
be making the effort it is to develop the
ports of Halifax and St. John.

NEW AFRICAN RAILROAD.
Five. Day Trip to South America Aim
Of the Project.

Nothing else that has come into the
State Department recently has created
more interest than the news that Eu-
ropcan interests have on foot a project
to build railroad through Africa to
that place where the Atlantic Ocean is
SO narrow. \ steamship can cross the
Atlantic at this point in three days.
ard it is estimated that when the rail-
road is finished journey can be made
from Europe to South America in five
days
The railroad is being pushed by a
Spanish government committee. which
publishes an estimate that it will cost
not more than .sl35, 100000. The plan is
10 run the road from the Straits Of
Gibraltar. down the coast. to the best
port to be found at the point nearest
South America. If Monrovia. the capi-
tai of Liberia, had a harbor. it would
undoubtedly be the place selected. thus
giving this forlorn little black republic
Il chance to get upon the commercial
map OF the world. But as it is the
best harbor nearest the desired loca-
ton is that of Bathurst. about l25
miles south of Cape Verde. Another
good harbor is to be found at Dakar.
right on Cape Verde
The distance from Gibraltar to Da-
kar is lao miles and from Gibraltar
to Bathurst ! ,S64 miles. AS the Straits
of Gibraltar are but 10 miles wide. it
is proposed to send trains across on

commercial reasons, but by the neces-
sity for keeping the delicate relations
between the various countries of Eu-
rope from getting tangled. 1t is said
the Spanish committee could easily
finance the enterprise in Spain, but
dares hot make it a purely Spanish
undertaking because of the Algeciras
conference, by which the integrity of
Morocco was guaranteed by the vari-
GUS participating countries. not from
love for Morocco, but from the desire
OF each of them. except the United
States, to keep some other country
from gobhling Morocco.
y curious part of the business. which
illustrates phase of European politics
and certainly amuses the American
authorities, is that the government OF
Morocco intimates that it would vast
ly prefer to have the railroad financed
built. and operated by Americans. bu,
in preparing it's sketch of plans the
Spanish committee has not figured on
the United States in any way.
In order to avoid an international
tangle before the scheme gets under
way, the Spanish committee has sug-
gested that the government of Swift
zerland take the initiative in calling
an international conference to pave the
way for the formal launching of the
project and the organization of a
strictly cosmopolitan company to ham
die it.-Washington Dispatch to the

The Sacred City Of Persia, Made Fa
nous by Fatima's Shrine.

Kun, generally known as the "Sa-
cred City Of Persia" lies about 100
miles southwest of Teheran and, be-
ing on the beaten track for travellers
between Teheran and Ispahan. would
be more familiar to western visitors.
were it not that the fdnaticiSm of the
inhabitants makes inquisitiveness de-
cidedly dangerous.
What makes the city sacred is the
fact that here was buried Fatima the
Immaculate, sister of Reza, the eighth
of the holy imams. or prophets, whom
the Persians reverence. She had fed
from Bagdad. according to the legend
to escape persecution at the hands of
the Khalifs, and, dying at Kun. was
buried there by her brother. Since
then her tomb has become a great re-
sort for pilgrims. Moreover, owing
to Fatima'S reputation for holiness, it
became the fashion for the devout of
the Shah school Of Momammedanism
to which nearly all Pcrsians belong. to
have their bodies buried close to the
shrine.
The appearance Of Kun at Il dis
tancc is picturesque in the extreme.
Above the belt of mingled brown and
green that in the east signifies a large
city. the sun flames on the FURNISHED
cupolas and soaring minarets of
fatima' : mosque. Upon near ap-
proach the sacred buildings loom larg-
er and are presently seen to consist of
two domcs overlaid with gilded plates
and five lofty mnarets disposed in two
pairs and Il single standing in close
proximity to the larger dome.
Emerging from small clumps of trees
arc to be seen the conical tiled roofs
of scores of mausolcums erected over
the remains of famous saints and
prophets, whose bones have been
transported hither and laid to rest in
the consecrated dust Of Kun.
The copper sheets which cover the
domes are plated with gold eighth
of an inch thick, the work on the
larger dome being due to Faith Ali
Shah of the present dynasty. on the
top is an ornament of solid gold
which weighs $40 pounds The
minerals near the dome are adorned
with a beautiful mosaic of azure, can
ary and iridescent green tiles.
The tomb beneath is overlaid with
beautifully painted Chinese tiles and
ovcrspread with a cloth of gold that
hangs down to the ground on every
SIDE. Half foot from the tomb is ii
massive silver gate 10 feet high. each
corner of which is crowned with ap-
| pies OF gold, but owing to acts of van
dalism of former tourists it is practi-
caily impossible nowadays for nom
Mohammedan to penetrate the shrine
and see the tomb.

SAFE TO GO TO SEA NOW DAYS.
Wonders Of Modern Science Rob the
Ocean Of Most Of Its Terror and
nanoAr

In the olden days before the COM
ing of steam vessels. a voyage across
the Atlantic was tedious and hazard
Gus trip. When q white sailed ship
set out to cross the ocean no one knew
whether it would reach the other, side
or not.
With the coming of steamships much
of the tediousness and some of the
danger that characterized the voyages
made by the sailing vessels was done
away with. and ever since there has
been constant Improvement. until now
one is practically as safe on one of the
giant ocean liners as in ones own
home.
Each of the dangers that made trav-
cling by the sea. so hazardous has its
remedy in some safety device. Even
seagickness will be banished in short
time. 1t is thought, by the application
of the gyroscope principle. The gyro-
scope is a wheel that is placed in the
hold of vessel. where 1t revolves
rapidly and does away with the rocking
and rolling motion of the ship. 1t has
already been tried successfully on
small boats and on cars that run on
one rail. The wonderful instrument,
it has been found, causes the car to
remain upright and prevents the ship
from rolling in rough water.
In former days the list of catastro-
phes on the ocean resulting from col
lisions. fires and storms was large.
Nowadays thousands of men and wo-
men cross the ocean each week with
no thought of danger. The wireless
telegraph has eliminated many of the
dangers of navigation, and the pictur-
esque figure of the wireless operator
at work at his post on the high seas
has been exploited to the full.
Probably the greatest danger that
the old navigator had to cope with

seems that a successful physician has
no business to keep on his practice-or

The case was brought before law
court. which condemned the chauffeur
to pay fine of so francs. But the
physician had also applied for dam
ages. his claim including f4s0 for
