Post Office Business Has

December business this year at the
harrisburg post office showed an in
crease estimated at 80 per cent. No
records are kept of the number of
packages of mail and parcel post
handled. The figures are not avail
able.
Charles II. Hoffman, superin tendent
of delivery. said to-day. that holiday
business this year was something
enormous. One carrier on Christmas
lay had 500 parcel post packages to
deliver in addition to several thousand
pieces of regular mail" The receipts
last December from all sources showed
total of $4,000. This year $4,000
Is considered a low estimate.

TRYING CLIMATE OF THE GAR
DEN OF EDEN

The chief peculiarity about Kufna
is that the natives believe the place
where they live is the exact site of
the Garden of Eden. The climate of
Kurna is acknowledged to be the
most trying in all the world. The
heat is terrific in the summer time.
1t is claimed that the British govern
ment has a record of one hundred
and fifty-nine degrees in the shade
upon the bridge of a boat anchored
in the river at Busreh, little to the
south. The missionaries at Busreh
tell of nights when the thermometer
registers not less than one hundred
and twenty-five degrees. British
sailors bound for the Persian Gulf
in the summer time usually desert
if they can. Perhaps in Arizona the
thermometer rises nearly as high; but
there the air is dry, while in the
Persian Gulf it is exceedingly moist
The Europeans at Busreh must pass
the days in underground chambers
or serdaubs, while a native boy pulls
a huge fan, or punkah, suspended
from the ceiling to keep the air in
circulation. The nights are spent on
the roof, for it is impossible to sleep
below. In the winter time the air
seems exceedingly cold, for the
marshes are filled with salt: and as
the wind sweeps over the plain the
moist salt air is peculiarly penetrat-
ing. Frequently the Arab benumbed
by the cold, falls from his horse. -

THE MODERN ADAM

In the plain to the north of the viii
lage, maize is cultivated; but the far
mer in the Garden of Eden needs pay
little attention to his crop. The soil
is exceedingly rich. He merely plants
the seed, and when the gain is ripe
he stands upon a little tower of clay
rising above the grain and with a
rotary sling hurls little Jumps of clay
to frighten away the passing birds.
But the date trees which flourish
in the garden are the chief source of
his income. With a tree or two he
is independent; for they provide him
with shade in the terrific heat of sum-

is the support of his roof, from the
branches he makes his bed, his
