pass, situated at the junction of the
frontiers of Austria, Italy and SwitZ-
erland. Over this a fine carriaged road
leads from Italy into Austria. The
pass has hitherto been considered
amply defended by the fact that the
route passes for a distance of about
eight miles across a narrow point of
neutral Swiss territory but since the
construction by Italy of a fortified
camp at the foot of Monte Umbrail
and of a fort upon Monte Opa, both
near the Italian end of the pass, and
the extension of the Italian railroad
to Bormio, a strong agitation has
started for defensive measures on the
Austrian side.
Italy's activity on this corner of her
frontier is shown by the fact that
mountain climbers are no longer al
lowed to ascend Monte or Piz UNI
brazil. one of the well known alpine
ascents.
Great Wine Output.
The wine makers on the Rhine and
Moselle have just gathered their
grapes with unusual demonstrations
of satisfaction with the years crop.
When the church bells tolled in hun
dreds of villages to announce the be-
ginning of the grape picking they
awakened memories Of the good old
days of some ten years or more back,
before the vineyards were damaged by
phylloxera, worms and other pests:
for this year the hot weather and the
long cloudless days were death to the
insects but caused the vines to bear
grapes of a sweetness almost without
parallel.
And the quantity harvested was
somewhat more than a half crop
which is regarded as a very good result
in view of the continued failures OF
recent years. Owing to these failures
grapes and craps juice are bringing
extraordinarily high prices now. The
best grapes are bringing as much as
As cents per pound. and grape juice
for wine making is sold at from 70
cents to one dollar gallon. The best
JUICE at Bingen brought $2.45 a gallon
These are reported to be the highes,
prices ever known.
German makers of gas engines and
chemist have been for several years
working on the problem of Classifying
peat for use in gas engines. The solu-
tion appears to have been found by an
establishment in Gorlitz, which uses
the so-called half water gas process
which is different from the Mond pro-
cess used in England. The Germans
call the product a suction gas. be-
cause the engine pumps in into itself
instead of it being forced into it under
pressure. This new method of gen
Grating suction gas is said to give
five and one half to six times the heat
and power effect of Mond gas. The
new process has now been in operation
for several months, with the remark
able result that it yields as much pow
er pound for pound from peat as can
be Grated out of the best coal. This
discovery has ma enormous meaning
for Germany, where there are not less
/ than 5,000,0 900 ceres of peat lands.

PALESTINE.
Many ways In Which u ssrlkinsly
Resembles CaIifornia.

Palestine is more like the state OF
California than any other in the Union
in everything except size. II lies be-
tween longitude "a degrees 80 minutes
and &c degrees 30 minutes east and
between latitude 30 degrees 30 min
utes and SO degrees 45 mioutes north.
IL is practically California reduced
to about one-twentieth In size, but
markedly similar in general topogra-
ply. climate, vegetation and agricul-
tural and economic possibilities.
Like California, Palestine is longest
from north to south. Like California,
too. II has both very high mountains,
having an elevation Of 1900 TO 10000
feet. and very deep depressions. The
Dead sea. 1900 feet below sea-. level.
is the greatest depression known, and,
like the Death valley Of California, it
is situated in the southern extremity
of the country.
In Palestine. just as in California. we
have a dry, warm season and humid
and more temperate one. The rainy
season extends from October TO May
and the dry season from May TO oc-
tober.
Palestine is even more favored than
California with regard to the winter
temperature. Although the thermome-
ter rises as high in summer in Pales-
tine as i'm California, with extremes of
ITO degrees to 115 degrees f., though
not so often, 1t very rarely drops In
the winter to the freezing point. Snow
is rare, even on the plateaus, and our
farmers are practically safe from any
damage by frost over nearly the entire
extent of the country.-From Aaron
Aaronsohn's agricultural and Botani-
cal Explorations In Palestine"

Marbles.

Marbles got their name from the
fact that originally little bits of mar
BILE were rolled down the hills and
rounded and pounded by other stones
until they became toys for the chill
dren to play with. 1t is said that the
Dutch exported them 10 England.
Whether they did or not makes little
difference to the boys and girls of to-
day. No matter who introduced the
world to marbles as toys, they are
with us and always will be. Some of
you get them from other children, some
of you trade postage stamps for them.
but some persons originally bought
them from the little store around the
corner, whose owner got them from
the greatest toyshOp in the world
Germany. In the beginning marbles
were called bowls" and men and wo-
men played with them as well as chill
dren.-Dundee Advertiser.

KEPT HER BUSY.
The Way She Tried to Discover the
Telephone Numbers.


Il don't believe that the public
schools teach their graduates TO use
their minds" remarked well known
citizen Of Philadelphia the other day.
Heres story just to illustrate what
] mean:
Il got a secretary last summer who
had just been graduated with high
honors from the Commercial high
school. She had been picked out for
me as the best girl in her class, and
found her excellent in all that required
methodical, parrot-like work.
"One day l jotted down some tele-
phone numbers that / wanted TO re-
member and, having a poor memory,
forgot In the course of the morning
whose the numbers were or what the
business was upon which i wanted TO
phone.
so I called Miss Blank just as
was going out and said, Before you
get your luncheon / wish you'd find
out for me whose those telephone num-
bers are
1.-TWO hours later l came back. and
Miss Blank was sitting at her desk,
weary and pecseveringly studying the
telephone book.
Il asked her If she had got some let
tiers written that | had left. if she had
lunched, if she had done several little
things. She said no and then ex-
planned:
