TvHE Bible of the Mahometans. who
are also called Moslems and the fol-
lowers of Islam, is that curious
book known for centuries as the Koran.
No dog OF a Christian is ever allowed
in Turkey to touch the holy book and
even a Mahometan must go through a
great ceremony of washing himself before
he can take the Koran in his hands.
Many of the Turks and other nations
processing this religion memorize parts of
IL, and this is regarded as most pious
act. Men who are considered as SANITY
priests have been known to learn every
word in the book. and in most of the
Turkish schools the study of the Koran
is the only thing taught. Merchants con
over it's verses while cursing a street boy
or bargaining with a customer. for they
imagine that the recital of its verses gains
them great glory in their future life.
The text of this book. they believe, was
co-existent with the throne of God and
was worshiped by, angelic hosts as the
eternal word a copy written in gold
and silver was brought down from heaven
by the Angel Gabriel to Mahomet in
pieces and each letter of the work is
said TO contain 10.o0S mysteries. The
saying aloud of certain verses is thought
TO be a sure preventive to/salamity and
will bring success In undertakings.
The matter of the Koran contains a
garbled account of the creation of man
varying widely from Genesis. But most
of the narratives of the Old Testament
are preserved. though in an odd form.

Christ and Mahomet are believed to be

Mohammedan is supposed to make each
year a pilgrimage to Mecca, as great
religious merit is assigned to the ac-
complishment of this task. {.
At the time for the professions to
start there are great gatherings of all
kinds of people and the holy city Is
overrun by thousands of the faithful.
1t is said that at least $4,000 pilgrims
visit Mecca every year
Among some of the queer teachings
of this religion is the story that when
the Jews rebelled against God in the
desert some of them were changed into
apes and that is the reason We have
such animals today. They also teach
that the earth is fiat body, resting
on the horns of huge OK, the OK sup
ported by cake of soap. Earthquake es
are produced by the OK shaking his
head. Thunder is the roar of the mill
stone which grinds this enormous
brute's food. The sky is a solid plate,
fastened up with four screws. The air
is full of demons. some SO strong that
they might destroy the sun and moon.

are so small that 10000 can live on a

planes. The coffin in which Mahomet's $

huge fat-bottomed boat, their first ex-

seeing at glance that the strangers,

noted that she took care to keep out

iron gate after the visitors had en-

The young lady proved to be the sis

girl who had been born in Manchester,
but who had lived all her life in

had not been afraid the night of the
Italian bombardment, she replied
frankly: "Oh, yes. but we are used to

it was not the Italian guns which were
