Lighthouse Without a Keeper.

What do you think OF a perpetual
lighthouse, needing no keeper and yet
as regular In its flashes OF light as
one maintained by the government? ?"

that means much for navigation. It

about eight miles inland from the port
OF Acajutla. II is a veritable pillar
OF cloud by day and the flash OF its
light by night has been valuable to
mariners for years: It can be seen
far out at sea and a burst OF flame
has gone upward every seven minutes
without the variation OF second for
many years.

The Jews In Palestine.

A wonderful result is following the
opening OF Palestine to the Jews. by
proclamation of the Turkish constitu-
ton. The influx now in progress is
enormous. Jews are reckoned by tens
of thousands in Liberals. Jaffa, Safed
and Haifa. while the Hebrew popula-
ton at Jerusalem now numbers at
least 100000, or four-fifths OF the
whole population. Thousands are
fiocking from Persia and Russia. The
Jordan valley. which was the property
OF the ex-sultan. Abdul Hamid, is be-
Ing bought up by Jewish syndicates.

schools, which have leavened the
whole lump with American Ideals.
These are breaking down, to some de-
gree, the religious sectarianism which
is the curse of the country. They are
even making the new generation OF
Moslems tolerant A case in point is
that of the Maronites, who were so
bitter that they would not even let

outwardly appears to be more pros
porous than at any other time In Its
history. 1t numbers more than a hun
dred persons. none of whom, strange
to say, is n socialist. They claim to
be merely big family. with no partic-
ular theories to work out. They have
all things in common. and each does
the work for which he or she seems
best qualified. While large percen-
tage of the American colony are
Swedes. the majority Of the group
hold American citizenship. They do
an extensive business in pressed
flowers and olive wood articles. and
their store is admittedly the foremost
in the city, showing that even in the
Orient the one-price principle can be
made to pay. An official at the Amer
lean consulate said to me. when we
were discussing the colony, Il notice
that when anybody in the city wants
anything done he usually goes to the
American colony" Thus the American
trait of efficiency has come to be the
dominant characteristic of the COM
munity.
Like the Inflated American colony
at Jaffa. this one was started on a
peculiarly religious basis. A Chicago
lawyer and his wife came out here to
wait for the return OF the Messiah.
They held extreme views on many sub
jects, including the making of money.
Hard times eventually drove them to
work. and now. while the religious as

even making use of religious preju-
dices to that end. Russia fosters and
supports pilgrimages. AS one instance
of her interest in this direction, It
may be said that she maintains in Je-

She stands behind the Greek church,
and, equally important. the Greek
church stands behind her. A wide
spread ecclesiastical support is Of
more value out here than a warship.
France is no longer allied to the
church, but just the same she is the
protectress of all Roman Catholic in
terests. Nobody is so blind as to sup
pose this interest represents religious
zeal.
Both these nations, as we'll as Great
Britain also. seem to be hopelessly
outdistanced by Germany. The kaiser
impartially supports Protestant and
Catholic, AMI also goes out of his way
to throw elaborate, if artificial, buo-
quets to Islam, all in the interest OF
Germany's schemes here. The Ger

Of Baalbeck. which Emperor William
visited in 1898. may be seen an incon-
gruous marble and inlaid mother-of-
pearl tablet, recording his sentiments
Of appreciation of the ruin and Of Alb
dull Hamid-both ruins significantly
coupled. On the tomb OF Saladin the
Great, who drove the Crusaders from
Palestine, is still preserved a faded
wreath of flowers, laid there by the
Christian emperor of whose eulogy
of Islam the Mohammedans have made
so much. A gold wreath, with a pen
dant which Is apparently a postum
nous decoration, was presented to the
tomb by William. But as the decora-
ton contains the figure of cross, its
presence Is counted sacrilege by the
more fanatical Moslems, and It Is nee
essary to keep two guards always on
duty in the tomb to prevent the for.
chile removal Of the wreath.

certain features about these towers
which indicate that in time of wal

An inquiry was made recently concern
ing treatment of fancy post cards by post
Office clerks.
Now, this is certain: No cards are de-
stroyed by the clerks and none is sent to the
dead letter office for destruction unless it is
of such nature that it cannot, according to
the rules Of the department, be forwarded.
But many pretty cards never reach their
destination. This is because of the careless
ness or Ignorance of the sender. Cards with
nice tinsel and glass on them must be in
closed in sealed envelopes. Many do not
know this.

SAN PEDRO, July 1S.-1Work on

The new bridge is what is known
