Everywhere American self-bind-
ing reapers and ploughs may be
detected, quite an advance on the
old method of reaping by hand and
thTeshing out the grain by the tread
of oxen on the primitive threshing
floors. Then, ali over the country,
particularly in the orange groves,
the primitive way Of raising water
for irrigation and other purposes. is
being superseded by pumps driven
by kerosene motors.
Some few months ago the Turkish
Government granted a concession
for the exploitation Of the minerals
in the Dead Sea basin and allowed
h Mohammedan to place a motor
boat on this historic sheet OF
water. and l. was then the only self
propelled craft on Palestine waters.
Now an American, al the moment
residing in Cairo, has approached
the Government with the object Of
placing similar vessels upon the
River Jordan and the Sea Of Galilee.
Such craft would be more than vel
coined as affOrding an easy means
of visiting the sacred places, and
also for conveying freight from one
mort to another. Indeed, such trans
port facilities are badly needed on
these historic waters.

Reinforced Concrete Is Being

When the German Emperor Wis
tied Jerusalem, some thirteen
years ago, a drastic improvement
was made near the Jaffa Gate by
filing in the mOat here and taking
down part Of the old wall, giving
quite a wide space, for traffic
There was set up here later a fOun-

Two modern water carts recently
arrived in Jerusalem from Eng

only the other month that the
municipality acquired a set Of mod

while an English company are
about to furnish the Jerusalem po-
lice with bicycles. Also the very
latest appliances may be detected
in the building operations that are
now going on. Reinforced con-
crete is being used on some Of the
more important edidces.
Perhaps it is in transportation
facilities that the development Il
most marked. When the Turkish
Parliament met in the Spring there
we're submitted to it plans for the
construction Of no fewer than 1.50O
miles Of railroad with mineral and
oil rights in the Asiatic dominiona
Of the Sultan TO show the rapid de-
Velopment now going on in this
part Of the world Many OF these
ventures will be financed by power
full American syndicates.
Briefly, the railroad programme
Is as follows: The Government has
determined to carry the lines Of the
HedjaZ Railroad with all speed
across the 2S5 miles Of desert be
tween Medina and Mecca. Start
ing from Damascus, this line runs
almost due south through wild and
sterile country for more than 90
miles to Medina, the burial place.
Of MOhammed It Is principally
used for carrying Mehammedan
pilgrims. On many Of its more in
portant stations one can now send
kilograms in almost any European
language to all parts Of the world.
Until quite recently they had to be
written in either Turkish OF Arabic.
Tourists visiting Palestine now
make use Of this line for reaching
the rOck-heWn city Of Petra. on the
edge Of the great Arabian desert
It means a saving Of at least eight
days in the journey.
This is, Of course, BY no means
the only railroad in Palestine. The
first TO be opened was that which
connects the seaport Of Jana with
Jerusalem, built by the French,
and which viii finally revert 20
Turkey. Then followed one from
Beyrout, on the coast to Damascus,
also the work Of the French, and.
more recently, the Turkish line
from Haifa, also on the coast, round
the southern end Of the Sea OF
Galilee. 70 Damascus.
OF the lines yet to be built IN
Asiatic Turkey one viii extend from
SAMSON. on the Black Sea, in a
southeasterly direction to a point
near the Persian border. Then. Of
course, there is the famous Bagdad
enterprise. the concession to con-
struct which vas given to the Ger
man Emperor some eleven years
ago by The depOsed Sultan.
Few realize what this win mean
in the way Of connecting the Asiatic
dOminiOns Of The Sultan and the
kingdom Of the Shah with Europe
by direct railroad communication.
