can. see the temple of Jupi-
ter at Baalbek, but above
all, see the amazing KaZneh at Petra,
wrote an old-time traveller.
That was what fired the imagination
Of E. II. Newman. the American travel
lecturer Petra had been jotted In his
notebook for many years. but he had
never found it convenient to take the
time for the journey when he found
himself In the neighborhood OF the
Arabian desert. Last year, when he
was in the Holy Land. he gave in
structions for a caravan to be out
fitted for his use from the Arabian
town OF Ell Malan. At last he was to
gaze on Ell Kazneh, rightly called one
OF the wonders of the world; at last
he was to pitch his camp in that for
gotten city in the Arabian wilderness
where it is believed by historians and
Psychologists the children of Israel
fingered for 20 years when they were
on their way from Egypt to the Prom
Used Land.
Only eight American travellers have
penetrated Petra. 1t is one Of the last
OF the interesting places on the earth's
surface that have not been fully ex-
plored. Although it is believed that it
was a city OF 100000 population, it is

existence was unknown to Europe for
upward Of IA centuries Nobody knows
why 1t was forgotten. whether its in
habitants left or were destroyed by
famine, flood or pestilence. In the
fourth century the bishop Of Petra
was among the priests at conclave
at Jerusalem; and then it passed be-
yond notice until 1872. when it was
discovered by accident by Burkhardt

Is impossible to tell what was a pal
ace, what tomb and what q temple.
Perhaps much Of its interesting his
tory will come to light when it is SCI
entifically and thoroughly excavated
and explored. for many of its glories
have been covered by the drifting
sands: and perhaps it must remain an
eternal mystery, for 1t is a forgotten
city and seems to have passed from
the memory of man too long to be re-
called.
OF the Kazneh Mr.. Newman says:
mot even the photographs give any
thing like a correct impression Of its
magnitude. Its pillars. ornamental
front and its big chambers were
carved out Of the solid rock, which
gives the whole thing, with it's deli
cate design. the appearance Of giant
cameo. One sees that 1t became pos
sible only after millions of mallet and
chisel strokes had been directed
against the mountain. It is one Of the
most perfect structures in the world,
and before its vast portal are four
splendid Corinthian columns support
ing the portico, two others having bro
ken OF and tottered over.
II stayed nearly q week In Petra,
but then did not feel that had been
there half long enough. l had visited
merely the larger structures in this
amazing collection Of rock hewn .edi-
fees. It Is said that there are about
7s0 tombs in Petra, but It seemed to
me. after attempting to see as many
Of them a possible, that there are
nearer $500. The great mountains in
which Petra rests are literally honey
combed.

"ReSu1tS-that'S it"
A TEMPEST IN A TEA POT.

The nice little row going on at the City Hall in
which the Mayor, the Police Committee and two dis
charged police officers are concerned is surely
mix-up.
It is easily seen that the present management Of
the Herald has not been on the ground long enough
to be in possession Of sufficient facts to speak author
itatively, but anyone even blind man could easily
see that there is senegambian concealed in the wood
pile somewhere.
The silly talk that Mayor and Police Com
mittee can not discharge men whom they have ap-
pointed is puerle and assinine that it is not worthy
of consideration.
It is also easily discernible that there is much in
the controversy that does not appear the surface
and the question Of fitness for position the police
force seems to be the dividing point.
No police force is strong enough to have members
on it's rolls in whom the public has lost confidence and
if such condition is clearly proved then there is only
one course to pursue, and we hope and believe that
Mayor Phillips, the Police Committee, and Chief of
Police Schmidt are big enough and broad enough to
do the right thing and settle the question anhonor
able manner befitting the positions they occupy Time

him not to drown.
Things were looking very black for

suddenly some one said, Throw him

Returning few seconds later, breath
less and conscious Of bis heroism, he
rushed down to the waters edge and
threw the entire rope to the man!
