London,s Treasures Guarded

Extensive precautions have been
taken in London to guard art treas
ures against the menace of air raids.
The custodians of art galleries and
museums long ago removed to vaults
or similar places the most precious
of their portable exhibits At the
British museum number of priceless
manuscripts, books, and other objects
have been stored away in safes. Some
measure of risk must, however, be
borne in a building which contains
40 miles of bookshelves and massive
pieces of sculpture. Visitors to the
National gallery find the major part
of the building closed. AT the Guild
hall the most valuable pictures have
been placed in the basement The
magnificent Gainsborough, ''Fording
the River" has been removed from
the walls. In the corporation strong
room in the basement is stored what
is probably the finest collection of
municipal records in the world 1t
includes the charter of William the
Conqueror ito William, Bishop and
Gosfegdh, Portreeve, and all the bur-
gesses within London securing 10
them their ancient liberties. Every
reign since the Conqueror is repre-
sented in the charters.

ness to accommodate us in the mat
ter of posing. After she had explained
to him the man told us that she was
his girl wife and that he thanked the
prophet for permitting him to arrive
in time to save her from disgrace.
Ten years from now," he said "the
people of this village may point their
fingers at my wife and say: There is
a girl who was willing to stand before
a Christian dogs camera for two
francs. "
Our dragoman caught the drift Of
the conversation. At first the man
told his wife to run away, but on Sec
ond thought he told her to remain be-
hind him and if we tried to snap the
camera he would throw stones at it
and try to break it. So after we found
out his intentions we decided to look
far a Christian Ruth.
From Bethlehem we went into the
Judean wilderness to attempt to snap
shepherds with their flocks of sheep
and goats. We met with little oppo-
sition from these lonely, half starved
lads, who when they were Christians
thankfully accepted the fee we gave
them and when they we're Moham-
medans begged for more money and
tren cursed us in the name Of the
Prophet as we departed.
At the old monastery of Marsaba,
perched high on cliff in a ravine
that seems like great crack in the
parched earth, we requested a monk
nearly ninety years of age to pose for
us. He had been an inmate OF the
lonesome convent for 40 years and so
unused to the world and the people
of the world that We suspected he had
lost all interest in worldly affairs. He
posed on a stone bench, with a prayer
book in hand, and when we thanked
him he said: viii you please send
me copy of my photograph? I'd like
to see it,

| Trying to Pose Ruth"
| One day as we were approaching
| Bethlehem we looked into a valley Of
ripening grain and silvery olive trees.
There are the fields of Boaz where
Ruth cleaned" said our dragoman, and
perhaps association of ideas caused us
to halt at the roadside. A woman was
sitting on the ground before a pile Of
wheat and chaff. She had been
threshing the little bundles of grain
that her daughter, an attractive girl of
perhaps fourteen years, had cleaned
in the large fields near by. Here was
Ruth of 1914. At least we thought SO

tons with her mother for her to pose
The girl was shy and the mother hesi-

hearsed in the little drama that she
was to play before the camera-she
was told to do exactly as she had
been doing with her little bundles of
wheat, no bigger around than her
wrist The camera was put into po-
sition on stone pile and the operator
was about to begin to turn the handle
when our attention was attracted by
shrill cries down the road. A man
was approaching on little donkey,
which he was clubbing and galloping
toward us. Immediately the girl heard
him she squatted beside her mother
and seemed to be very much fright
ened
The man shouted something at us
in Arabic as he jumped from his DON
key and made a gesture toward the
camera, but, seeming to realize that
it was the girl we wanted to snap, he
stood in front Of her as he scolded

STORM SAVED BURNING SHIP
Waves, Breaking Over Abandoned
Craft, Extinguished the Blazing
Benzine.

A strange shipWreck story, unreport-
ed by cable from the Azores, arrived
at New York from Horta, Fayal, by the
Holland-America freighter Zaandyk,
which was forced to put into this port
by heavy weather that reduced her
coal supply. Captain Barendsen says
he learned from the skipper of the
Norwegian tank steamship La Habra,
which arrived at Horta on, February z,
bound from Talara bay, Peru, by way
of the Panama canal, for London, that
her cargo of benZine caused an eXplo-
sion aboard as she was nearing the
Azores to replenish her bunkers.
La Habra was quickly ablaze from
stem to stern. About half Of the crew
were on the forward part of the tank
and the other half aft. Fearing that
the falls and other boat gear would
be burned, the tanks skipper ordered
all hands to leave her in lifeboats and
stand by. The engines had been
stopped and La Habra drifted into the
trough and, as she was deeply laden,
the seas, which were very high, washed
over her.
The chief officer and five men were
in boat towing astern when the
matches of the tank were blown off and
cataracts of blazing benzine shot over
her sides and stern. The boats painter
was burned off and the chief officer
and his men went drifting down the
blast, being without oars or sail, and
disappeared. The other boats were
threatened with destruction by the
burning benzine, which spread out all
around La Habra, making her look like
fire ship in lake of fame
The skipper of the tank expected
her to be destroyed utterly before his
eyes. He was elated when a giant
comber broke around her. dousing the
fire almost completely. Other seas
helped in the work, and all hands ex-
cept the chief officer and those in the
vanished boat went back on their ship.
They found that all charts, books and
instruments of navigation had been de-
stroyed.

HAIN'T GEORGE WASHINGTON
Apocryphal Story Told of Col. George
Harvey-Not Remembered as
Peacham Boy.

A story-apocryphal, perhaps, but
at any rate timely-is going the
rounds of Park Row about Col. George
Harvey, the editor.
Colonel Harvey, according to this
story, visited his native Peacaam a
short time after his first brilliant New
York success, and, on a cold winter
morning, entered the Peacham gen.
eral store. But nobody, to his sur
prise, knew him.
Colonel Harvey, seated with the
Peacham veterano around the hot
stove, could not resist telling one or
two of his minor metropolitan sue
cesses-successes which the Peacham-
ties heard in cold silence.
"And l, too, am Peacham boy" said
Colonel Harvey. "Yet nobody remem-
bers me here Strange!"
He turned warmly to an old man
with red chin whiskers striped with
gray.
"You," he said, "are George Slo-
cum
He turned to another old man who
had very large, white, even false
teeth.
"You are George r. Boone" he
said
Then lie turned to the whole circle
of veterans round the stove and cried
impulsively:
Somebody, surely, must remember
my name. Come now, Think It's

lower of the prophet. We found that
the Christians of Syria and Palestine
are usually meekly obliging when
asked to pose, but we also found that
with few exceptions in Bethlehem
Nazareth and Jerusalem they are not
equally good subjects. We did not
come upon them in occupations as
interesting; they seemed never to be
so picturesque as their Mohammedan
brethren.
Didn't Know 1t Was "Movie."
Now any Mohammedan knows that
to click the camera before a camel
destroys the animals soul. Just ex-
actly what a camels soul is we en-
deavored to learn, but none of the
men who were certain that it had one
could enlighten us. When an animals
soul is destroyed, however, anything
is likely to happen to it. But after
offers of much money-much more
than man and camel would earn in a
day-the driver seemed to forget that
his camel might easily thereafter fall
a victim to the evil eye if he failed
to suspend a string of blue beads from
its neck. Here we found, as we found
afterward. that money was the best
cure for the cloud of Mohammed hang
ing over mems eyes.
The man swore at us Immediately
we began to bargain for his photo
graph. however, and we didn't know
at that time about camefs soul and
the driver wouldn't accept our figure.
He was wise. He knew that to be
photographed one must pose, so he
decided to spoil the picture, and, not
knowing about the cinema camera, he
started off and gave his land the fast
est blowing it had had since the days
of Moses. While had no way Of an
lticipating this action it completely
suited my purpose. One need no long

"a IA 4 lecturer, started through the
U.s. Holy Land with his camera,
~ 81 he declared he must get
something different" in that
much photographed country. He did,
but he had his troubles, for the Mo-
Ihammedan despises the camera as an
instrument of the devil, and a great
many of the inhabitants of Palestine
are followers of the prophet.
Writing in the New York Sun, Mr..
Newman says of his trip:
Our first experience with the Mo-
hammedans was when we stopped on
a roadside between Jaffa and Ramleh,
the modern name for Arimathea,
whence came Joseph, who offered his
tomb at Jerusalem for the burial of
Jesus Christ We saw a man driving
two camels that were dragging sharp
stick through the earth and turning
a subject that answered several re-
quirements of the desirable picture.
1t was unusual enough to offer GER
tain human interest. 1t was artistic.
1t was one of the best photographs
that was able to get illustrating the
survival of ancient manners and GUS
toms in Palestine in the Palestine of
the present.
But we found, as we often found
along the roads of Palestine, that the
gentleman had been spoiled for our
purpose by two agencies-his own
peoples superstition and the foreign
ers with their jingling purses. Too
many tourists have passed along these
roads taking it for granted that they
would never pass that way again, and
some of them have distributed money
with prodigal hand. The tourist
with a little hand camera has too often
tossed the peasant quarter where q
few cents would have done as well.
