undermining tho Orient.

Even the structures Of the ancient
city Of Jerusalem have changed. Where
once were crumbling walls and ancient
temples are now blocks Of government
buildings. On the site of the Jaffa
gate Is a broad and imposing avenue.
In the streets are tramways and taxi
cabs, and the western water cart has
supplanted the man on foot with his
goatskin Of water. In the plains of
Sharon and on the tablelands between
Jaffa and Jerusalem steam driven
thrashing machines and self binding
reapers are at work. Water is sup
piled by means Of pumps driven by
motors, Abraham's well at Beersheeba
being pumped in this fashion. Up to
date motorboats now cross the sea or
Galilee, and a scheme is under consid-
Grafton whereby similar boats will ply
the river acknowledgement. -

The Shape of Smoke.

What Is the shape of smoke? This Is
not one Of the numbered foolish ques-
lions, but a subject dealt with serl-
ousfF ise4he first bulletin issued by the
mok inyestrw,1ng commission in
Pittsburgh. The commlMsan eAperl5
say that it is necessary not 6Hfy -
know the chemistry of smoke and how
1t acts harmfully upon metal work,
masonry and building materials gener-
ally, as well as vegetation, but 1t III
important to know also the shape and
size of smoke particles, how the diff
ferent kinds vary, whether they are
electrically charged and how they
form nuclei for the condensation OF
fog and rain.

Thirteen In France.

Superstitious people in France are
worried by the new method Of count
ing the hours. Trains which start at
1 p. IN. nov 10 o'clock are much less
crowded than others, especially Oh
Fridays. 1t is curious how the super
stition Of thirteen persists. Massenet
never dated his letters on the fatal
day. Even his manuscripts he num-
bered thus: -, IL bis, II. BY a strange
coincidence or fatality the great COM
poser died on the thirteenth Of the
month in n year whose figures added
up amounted to thirteen.

Fall of a Famous Rocking Stone.

When the famous rocking stone Of
Tandil. in the southern part of the
province Of Buenos Aires, fell recently
from Its narrow platform on the edge
Of u cliff Argentina lost one of its most
interesting natural curiosities. This
great granite block vas more than six
teen feet in diameter and thirteen feet
high n weighed about 100 tons. 1t
was balanced so nicely that the strong
winds from the pamlpas made 1t rock
perceptibly. and great numbers of tour
lists amused themselves by cracking
nuts and empty bottles under it. Yet
many years ago the tyrant Rosas with
a team Of sixty oxen tried uns~cess-
fully to pull it down. 1t is thought
that the hard ~pulverized glass from the
thousands of broken bottles left on the
cliff by visitors gradually wore away
the stone and the foundation until a
slight shifting of weight caused the
bowlder to fall.-Youth's Companion.

HEALTH OFFICIALS
FACING PROBLEM
How to Keep Up Efficiency with
Less Money Worries DR..
W. C. Woodward.

Health Ohicer William c. Woodward
is facing a problem. the solution OF
which seems almost impossible. The
condition OF his department after the
new District appropriation bill becomes
operative on July l will be chaos-like.
and even now. with the promotion of
DR.. John l. Norris to the position OF
deputy health oficer. II will be neces-
sary to revise almost the entire per-
sonneI Of the department
Dr. Norris assumed his duties yeSter-
day He succeeds DR.. II. F. Sawtelle,
resigned. AS result OF his advance
ment there will be a number Of promo
tons in the department and one ap-
pointment from the eligible list to a
500 position.
the rearrangement Of several branches
sary by the reduced appropriation. The
appropriation for personal services in
the contagious disease service has been
reduced from Sl5.O00 to $1,000; for the
maintenance OF the crematory, from
$500 to 1850: for the employment Of
laborers in the pound, from 1900 TO
1900; for the maintenance OF the bac-
THEOLOGICAL laboratory. from $50 to 500.
and for the abatement OF nuisances,
from $500 TO 1900
All these reductions are causing much
concern, but none is more vital, Mr..
Woodward says, than the reduction OF
the appropriation for personal service in
the contagious disease service. The only
thing that can be done now is to trans
fer some OF this work to the regular
inspection force. but the disadvantage
Of this plan viii lie in the fact that
It will diminish the effectiveness Of the
inspection force. This the health officer
is desirous OF avoiding.

ASKS MONEY FOR MILITIA.
Army Veto JeopardIEes Big Joint
ManeuVers.

Secretary If War Stimson yesterday
Of Virginia, chairman OF the House
Committee on Military Affairs. that the
item in the vetoed army bill appropri-
ating H.S5OOOO for joint maneuvers OF the
army and the militia this summer be
enacted separately and as soon as POS
sibIe.
Secretary Stimson pointed out that
tentative arrangements for these ma
neuvers. which occur only every other
year, have been made at considerable
expense. and that the militia organiza-
tions have entered into these arrange
ments in good faith. depending upon the
passage OF the army Appropriation bill.
Failure 10 make the money provided for
in the original bill available. Secretary
Stimson declared, would be detrimental
to the best interests Of the militia and
deprive II Of instruction most necessary
TO its morale and efficiency. Some Of
these maneuvers are due to begin July
5, for which army funds are being ex-
pended in preparations. Seventy thou
sand militiamen are involved in the ma
neuvers. Is addition. Mr.. stimson rec
commended that an appropriation Of $685.
COO be provided for the extra expenses
of the regular army forces paTticipat-
ing in the maneuvers.
Representative Hay, who conferred
with Secretary Stimson yesterday aft
crnoon, said that II would be impOssi-
BILE to pass such a bill before July .
under the agreement of both houses to
transact no business between now and
that date. While he himself would not
oppose such A bill, said Mr.. Hay. he had
heard other members OF the House ex-
press themselves in opposition to appro-
priating for the militia manuevers.
