SACRED CITY OF THE JAMS
One Of the Most Remarkable Of the
Sights the Traveller Sees
in India.

Palitana is among the most wonder
ful places in that land of marvels. 1t
is in the Kathiawar peninsula, to the
north of Bombay, and is the capital
Of the small state CT the same name
which adioins Baroda. The town
stands OH the Shetrunja river, whose
Dverfiowing has frequently caused dis.
aster. and above rise the twin peaks
Of Shetrunja hill. nearly 1000 feet
above the plain. 1t is the most sacred
of the five sacred hills of the Jains.
and their temple city crowns the sum.
nit. The Jains. who today form one
of the large merchant castes, may be
described as heretical and ultra
humanitarian sect of Hinduism. Its
founder was contemporary with
Buddha. The jams in all ages have
been great temple builders; their most
marked peculiarity in this respect be.
ing their tradition of building cities
composed entirely of temples and con-
tanning no human habitations what

CHINESE CRUISER IN REVOLT.
Crew Mutinies and Battles With Fleet
and Fort at Shanghai.

Shanghai, Dec. 6.-The crew of the
Chinese cruiser Chaotic mutinied yes
terday and opened fire on two other
warships and the arsenal. The fire
was returned, the engagement lasting
for one hour. Several shots fell in
the foreign concessions. Apparently
the outbreak was confined to the
Chao-Ho. The Chinese authorities
announce that she will be shelled and
sunk at daybreak. Conflicting ac-
counts of the nature OF the outbreak
are current, and owing to strict
measures taken by the authorities it
has been impossible thus far to obtain
official information. 1t appears, how
ever. that at . O'Clock Sunday after
noon twenty men set forth from the
foreign settlement in a launch and
went alongside the Shao-Ho, which is
lying opposite the Kiang-Nan arsenal.
On the arrival of the launch the crew
of the Chao-Ho mutinied. apparently
by pre-arrangement. It is presumed
that the mutiny is the result of plot
against the proposed monarchy.

photographs on the Wing.

Germany has employed many inge-
nious devices in the great war. and
surely one of the most unique is that
of employing carrier pigeons for TAX
ling military photographs. Some years
ago the camera employed for this pur-
pose was exhibited in Germany. It
was invented by Doctor Neubronna,
and was wonderfully light instru-
ment, weighing only 24 ounces. The
lens was only 2-inch focus. and the
photograph produced measured ~
Inches square. One of the models

NOBILITY OF THE NATIONS
Writer Contradicts Assertion Made
by Lord Rosebery. Famous
British Statesman.

"A nation cannot be as noble as a
single man in It can." said Lord Rose
bery.
would say a single man cannot
hope to be as noble as a nation can.
A nation is capable of an accelera.
tion-a momentum of moral action.
The nobility that is in a single man,
a nation can raise to an nth power.
One man who pulls himself together
and loves or one man who pulls him
self together and hates, is impressive.
A nation that pulls itself together and
loves-is sublime.
Even a nation that pulls itself to-
gether and hates all over with one
mighty heat of hate. is sublime. Ev-
cry man in Germany who is singing
Lissauer's chant of hate and fighting
England with that chant of hate-has
ten times as much hate in his one
single heart than he would have II
he were hating as single man. He
hates everybody else's hate on top OF
his own hate. One stick of wood in
a fire may be hot-but it is hotter
with three more-and still hotter
that one stfck-with three million
more.
It is absurd to says a nation cannot
be as noble as a single man can. It
is defiance of psychology and of the
laws of dynamics in the human heart.
