Of sewage. Jerusalem has something
in the way of an antiquated system of
sewage, but the visitor would never
suspect 1t. Travellers talk Of the

no inkling of the real situation. The
proprieties of western life do not per-

Down David Street by Trolley.
Until recently it was impossible to
travel anywhere in Jerusalem by wheel
ed vehicle, but various streets have
been widened, thanks largely to the
visit Of various royal personages. But
on the whole, the streets of the city
are narrow and unfit for vehicle traf-
fic. Many Of them are vaulted, so
that they are really tunnels, and while
picturesque to the last degree, they
do not lend themselves to the purposes
of modern streets.
Now the reform government pro-
poses to install four or five lines of
electric trolley cars, all of them cen.
tering at the Jaffa gate. They will
connect the neighboring villages with
the city, SO that one may go to Beth
lehem for a nickel, and in less than
half an hour. One line will invade the
old bazars, widening the Street OF
David, carrying passengers past the
Mosque of Omar, which is the site of
the ancient Temple OF the Jews. Imag'
Inc the w~orshipers Of the Temple dis
turbed by the clang Of the bell of the
electric car!
At present most of the streets are
as narrow as footpaths. When the
soft-stepping camel comes along, as he
does every few minutes, all pedes
trians must stand aside in the re
cesses of the bazars, or against the
walls, to make way for his passage
Even the plodding donkey, who, still
as of yore, is the favored beast of bur
den, takes nearly the whole street
when he passes.
These electric lines will vastly en-
nance the comfort of the city, but they

given birth to a calf on the very day
when the girl was born and he could

Perhaps, the court opined, the
grandfather had recorded the birth of
the calf! The old farm book, careful
ly preserved in the family strong box,
sustained the judges theory; all the
circumstances Of the calf's birth we're
fully recorded. And thus the birthday
of the human being was at length es-
tablished.

The Spirit of Change Has Reached the
Holy Land and lite Famous Capital
Religious Sectarlanism Has Crowded
Holy City With Rival Establishments.
BY WILLIAM 7. ELLIS.

Jerusalem OF three holy cities that
are popular places of pilgrimage, Jeru-
salem, Mecca and Benares, the Turk
ish empire has two within her borders.
The Holy Land, as Christendom calls
the little strip of territory along the
Mediterranean coast north Of Egypt,
is an integral part of Turkey. 1t has
always been famous for the persist
ence of its ancient customs, so that
hundreds Of clergymen travel over 1t
every year, to get light on the Bible.
A generation hence, that search will
not be sc successful, for 1t is patent
that Palestine is sharing the awak-
ing of the ancient east.
Not only is there a railway from Bel
rut to Damascus, and from Damascus
to Haifa, and from Damascus to Me-
dina, and from Jaffa to Jerusalem, but
there Is also projected at the present
time a new railway that will go down
the coast from Beirut through Sidon,
Tyre, Acre, Haifa and Jaffa, clear to
the Suez canal.
Improving on Solomon.
The ancient City of David has come
under the new influences of modern
times. Negotiations are at present
pending for several radical and trans
forming innovations. The first of
these to be pushed to early completion
will probably be the water system.
Jerusalem still depends on the collect
ed rain supply in cisterns for It's wa
ter. The very pools built by Solomon
are still in use, although the munich
pal system has greatly deteriorated
since his day.
Now it is proposed to bring water
from two sources, in Fara, north OF
the Mount of Olives, and Fawar, an.
other spring in the same valley. II
has been found that this water is

pure and sufficient for the city's needs.
When this has been put into water
mains, and all the residents have been
compelled to install it in their homes,
it will mean a revolution in the hab-
its and the life of the people, and, it
is hoped, a revolution also in the mat
ter of personal cleanliness.
Where Foreign Governments Interfere.
In order to meet the expenses of
the installation of the water system,
the government decided to take, as a
special tax, the hides of the animals
slaughtered within the city. A COM
mon sight is a sheep tethered on the
Sidewalk outside the butcher shop,
awaiting it's turn. AS this bore hard
ly upon the butchers, many of whom
are registered at the various consul
ates as citizens of foreign countries,
these representatives of the powers
objected, so some other means of

New Lights for Old Streets.
Jerusalem is not so dark as some
Oriental cities, for the municipality
placed a thousand kerosene lamps
along the principal highways. Now 1t
is on the program of the government
to install an electric lighting plant for
the streets, and for the stores and
houses.
A telephone system also is on the
docket. At present practically all the
modern business Of Jerusalem is done
outside of the city walls. Messages
can be carried from one part to an
other only, as in the time of David,
by foot messenger. Soon the tinkle
of the telephone bell will rival the
more musical notes of the camels'
bells.
