.RANUKKAH FESTIVAL
 THE FEAST OF LIGHTS

HanuTkah the Jewish feast of ded- ication begins tonight and extends over a period of eight days. The account of it's origin is set forth iu the Books of the Maccabees. The syrian king, Antiochus Eppiphanes, had determined to unify all the peo- pies of his kingdom To accomplish this he believed it necessary to com pei all to adopt a common religion. The Jews were his political subjects. Their monotheism and distinctive re igious practices based upon the Bible were in sharp contrast TO his religion, form of organism originally inn ported from Greece. Judaism must he destroyed became the WatchworG of the Syrian court In 169 E. C the royal command went forth that shrines and altars be erected for idol worship. Jewish rites and practices were interdicted. The sacred writ
 ngs wherever found were destroyed. Direst prosecutions were visited upon the faithful As climax in the campaign to extinguish the Jewish faith. the altar in the Temple of Jc- rusalem was profaned. syrian sol diers offered up sacrifices to Zeus Olympus. These drastic measures aroused the Jews to revolt. Judas Maccabeus was appointed leader by his father. Mattathias After three years of successful warfare against the Syrians, Judas was in a position to dedicate new altar at JerusaI lem the festivities in connection with the dedication lasting eight days. To commemorate this event. Judas and his brethren and the whole congre- gation of Israel ordained that the dedication of the altar should be kept in their seasons from year to year by the space of eight days from the 18th day of Kislev with gladness and joy. This festival is also known as the Feast of Lights. probably because burning lamps and torches in the ancient temple and home were used to celebrate.

The deep green protective, color of katydids makes it difficult to locate them on the foliage. We hear the earth full of rasping noises of katydids at night, but when the sun comes eup and chases the last bit of darkness off the face of the earth. the noise of the katydids ceases. When we go out to observe some of the noisy creatures we become disgusted with, the futile attempt. The trouble is we are likely to have a dozen katydids under our eyes and not distinguish their forms from the deep green leaves. Katydids belong to the grasshopper family They sometimes make noise ill daytime, but this is rather weak and very diff ferent one compared to the noise made at night.

The great industry of Venice is that of meeting the demands of tourists. The movements of the foreigner, .as they are skillfully guided and directed by host of competent experts, are not difficult to forecast. It is known that if the foreigner arrives at the railroad station he will take a gondola 1te his hotel. He may travel in the ferryboat or on foot all the rest of the time, to save money, but when he arrives he will take gondola, so that he may casually mention in writing home that he stepped directly from the train into luxurious gondola. Knowing this peculiarity, the municipality of Venice keeps tab on the gondola traffic from the railroad station as a sort of gauge of osperity-Argonaut. F- a.ma

Malay Weapons.


 The national Malay weapon, tho creese, is said to have been invented by a Javanese monarch of the four
 teenth century. Its varieties are sai6 to exceed a hundred, and there are ii Javanese no fewer than fifty names for them. It varies in size from the two foot wavy blade of Sulg down tG a mere toothpick. But the peculiarly is that the weapon is never, ground, but kept rough and sawlike in edge by securing with lime juice or the juice of an unripe pineapple, sometimes mixed with arsenic, and it is on this account that creese wounds are so dan
 gerous. Old specimens are so eaten away by this practice that the blade seems formed from a bunch of wires roughly welded up. Such creeses are highly valued, and some of the ancient ones, heirlooms of chiefs, with gro tesquely carved and inlaid hilts and sheaths, are almost unpurchasable.r,,a ,as
