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 Tiberias, Jaffa, Safed
and Haifa, while the Hebrew popula-
tion 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.
So Is the large and beautiful and fer
tile plain of Esdraelon. The value Of
land is already quadrupled. One day
the world will wake up and rub it's
eyes with wonder when it discovers
what Is going on.

Lighthouse Without a Keeper.

What do you think of a perpetual
lighthouse, needing no keeper and yet
as regular In it's flashes of light as
one maintained by the government" ?"
asked Albert d, Van Wyck.
This natural light never fails, and
that means much for navigation. 1t
Is a volcano on the island of San Sal.
vador. This volcanic lighthouse is
about eight miles inland from the port
OF Acajutla. 1t is veritable pillar
OF cloud by day and the fash 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 a second for
many years.
"A lighthouse fee is collected OF all
vessels that put In at the harbor near.
est the volcano and no skipper OBJ
jects. He knows that the volcano Is
more reliable than the lighthouses
kept by human beings on other coasts
and the novelty of the light Is worth
the price charged by the government"

ter say that there Is now on the Bos.
phorus a new classi cation OF war
ships-"frst class, second class and

Young Turks were afraid to trust
themselves TO bring TIE ships from
Germany, so they had German officers
man them until just outside the Dar-
danelles, where they ran up the Tur-
kish flag. The German officers de-
manded two hundred al fifty thoas
and marks for their services and re-
fused to haul down the Turkish 1ag
until the sum was paid. Rumor has it
that one Of the ships broke down en-
route. At any rate, the Turkish gov
ernment paid the money and the ships
sailed ND the Bosphorus, streaming
bright new crescent flags behind them.l
That New Turkey has something TO
learn In the way Of naval administra

rience Of my own. Late one night ii

Big Hats and MosIem Wells.
The advent Of the western styles
Involves unforeseen difficulties for an
oriental people. 1t Is easy for the
Turk In baggy trousers and shoes that

tage OF the American colony are
S~edes, the majority OF the groyn
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, "I 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 ill-fated American colony
at Jaffa. this one was started on
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.

work, and now, while the religious as

feminine interest in dress. One Of
their sisters came along the other day
wearing Merry Widow" hat and a
hobble skirt and as l passed / noticed
these queer yelled figures stop and
turn and look as long as the new
fashions We're in sight. What will
happen to the economic system in
Turkey with its low scale of income
when husbands have to pay for Paris
millinery and their wives have a right
to wear them, is more than l can
project.
Immediately after the revolution
many Moslem women took off their
wells as they appeared in public
places Such is the state of the Tur-
Rlsh mind, however, 20 pe described
by no other words better than by the
English phrase absolutely rotten"-
that this could not endure.
A Turkish official himself explained
to me the reason why he could not
hope for the unveiling of the women
for a generation or two. The men of
today are utterly devoid of western
ideals concerning womanhood. What
western women, who understand the
language, have to endure as they
travel and live in Turkey, has never
yet been written. 1t needs a new
mind in the people before some Of the
conditions that are the salt Of civiliza-
ton can fully obtain in Turkey.

confusing the tubonic plague with
cholera.
AS is we'll known, there is a direct
relationship between cholera and
Islam, for Mecca is the seat OF the
plague. All pilgrims bathe in holy
well at Mecca which analysis has
shown, contains more germs than the
sewage of London. That holy water
is carried over the empire and dump
ed into the village wells. A more dia-
bolical scheme for inoculating q ma

trived, yet the faithful will not per-

archaeological museum in the world
is that at Constantinople, with many
priceless treasures. Yet this collec
tion has been made by taking toll OF
the enterprise and learning Of west
ern nations and educational institu-
tons. All arCLaeologists at work in
the Turkish empire are obliged to
give the government frst choice OF all
their finds. In sharp contrast with
this wonderful museum is the fact
that all over Asia Minor priceless
archaeological relics in the way of in
scriptions and statues, are to this dav
being broken up and burned to make
lime for the villagers.
New Turkey must go long way be-
fore she finds herself standing in the
equality OF fellowship with the wide
awake and enlightened nations of the
world.
