0oA the Egyptian temples scat
n tered along the Nile; if you
~ 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. M. Newman, the American travel
lecturer Petra had been jotted in his
notebook for many years, but he had
never found 1t 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 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
ised Land.
Only eight American travellers have
penetrated Petra. 1t is one of the last
of the interesting places on the earths
surface that have not been fully ex-
plored. Although it is believed that it
was a city Of 100000 population, it is
a city without modern history. Its
existence was unknown to Europe for
upward of IA centuries. Nobody knows
why it was forgotten, whether it's in
habitants left or were destroyed by
famine, food 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 1912, when it was
discovered by accident by Burkhardt,

rock, with gigantic arena, and even
private loges that are approached by
secret subterranean passages also
carved from the rock. It is the theory
that city that could support such an
arena for ornament must have been
exceedingly prosperous and wealthy.
But Petra has no certain history. 1t
is known that after his visit there,
the Emperor Hadrian ordered the
carving of Ell Kazneh, but most of the
buildings have no authentic record. 1t
is impossible to tell what was a pal
ace, what tomb and what a temple.
Perhaps much Of it's interesting his
tory will come to light when it is sci
entifically and thoroughly excavated
and explored, for many Of it's glories
have been covered by the drifting
sands; and perhaps it must remain an
eternal mystery, for it is 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 correct impression of its
magnitude. It's pillars, ornamental
front and its big chambers were
carved out of the solid rock, which
gives the whole thing, with its deli
cate design, the appearance of a giant
cameo. One sees that it 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.
81 stayed nearly a week in Petra,
but then did not feel that l 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
$50 tombs in Petra, but it seemed to
me, after attempting to see as many
Of them as possible, that there are
nearer $500. The great mountains in
which Petra rests are literally honey.

When WARMING Over Meat

The best way to warm up a roast OF
meat is to wrap it in thickly creased
paper, and keep it covered while in
the oven. BY having it covered the
steam will prevent the meat from be-
coming hard and dry, and it will be-
come heated through in less time.

CONTROL IN GOLF DIFFICULT
Condition Of Course Has Much TO Do
With Manner In Which Many
Skillful Players Play.

Greatness OF play in golf In its last
analysis depends upon control OF the
ball. What a master player n force
the ball TO do marks the greatest feat
In golf.
With a club which measures around
three inches by ~ OH its face. and a
ball which runs around 2h inches in
diameter. the expert will do wonder.
iul th,ggs. things which completely
battle the player OF ordinary ability.
On the drive skilled players will curve
a ball, undercut II 80 as to drop II dead
or hit II higher to cause II to drive low
and roll long after the drive has ceased
to carry. Pitching the ball on to the
ground dead to the hole Is a feature
of approach play which requires *
traordlnary skill to attain perfection
in. Putting Is n delicate task and
holding the ball so that II has nc

cess In this.
Skillful players do not play the same
course or even the same holes the
same on different occasions. The con
dition OF the course has much to dc
with this. On a heavy links OF where
the grass Is cut short the high drive IL
the thing. On II sunbaked course
where distance Is wanted the long, low
drive with roll is the winner. Obstruc
tions on the course can be got around
by an expert by causing the ball &c
curve. All of this means hitting the
ball n fraction low, high or to one side
and IL takes skill TO do this.
