TROM time to time there have ap-
- peared in the newspapers re-
ports that the Senussi were
about to begin holy war on
the allies, having been persuaded to
take this action by the Vaccinations
of Teutonic emissaries. Indeed, once
or twice there have been stories of &C
tual hostilities on the part of these
jewellers in the desert of Sahara. Gu
riosity concerning this great body OF
Mohammedan people has naturally
been aroused, but information about
them is not plentiful.
The following account of the Senussi
aud Djaraboub, their capital, is part
of an article by George Remond
published in ILLUSTRATION of Paris
some two years ago, incorporating the
experiences of a member of Enver
Bey's mission to the Senussi in 1912:
Djaraboub is built on one of the hill
locks which cover this part of the
country. Sid Mohammed ell Senussi,
passing through it in 1858, by order
of God" founded little zaouia. This
was the beginning of Djaraboub. This
holy man was an Algerian, pious and
learned, who had done the pilgrimage
TO Mecca several times. He received
hospitality from the tribes to whom he
commented on the Koran, gaining
thereby great reputation for wisdom
and knowledge. Seeing in what state
of barbariSm and ignorance the inhabi-
tants of Cyrenaica lived, he decided
to teach them the word of God, and
built in the Green mountain the first
zaouia, which got the name of zaouia
el Beida (the white), taught his dis
ciples, and founded a religious order,
the authority of which extended
throughout the country, and has
spread today in the greater part of
the Moslem world. He died at Djara-
boub and was buried there, and his
son, Sidi ell Mahdi, set up a magnifi-
cent tomb in his memory.
There are now 40 Senussi zaouias
in Africa, eleven or thirteen of which
are in Egypt, five or six in the Tripod
itania, the remainder in Cyrenaica and
the Sudan.
The zaouia of Djaraboub is sur
rounded by an Enclosure to which five
doors give access. The houses, built
of stone, are two-storied; each has it's
own bath. The population is of $50 in
habitants; there are neither merchants
nor shopkeepers nor cafes, which are
to be found in all places where Arabs

An Electric Floor Brush,

An improved electric brush for pol
ishing wood floors uses an electric mo-
tor at the top and large round fiat
brush underneath the motor. To keep
the motor from turning about along
with the brush, there is used steady
ing device in the shape of pair. of
square-shaped fiat brushes at the sides
of the central one. Each square brush
is mounted on the end of shaft pro-
jecting from the middle casing and
is geared up so that the shaft works
in and out as a plvnger, so as to pro-
duce a to-and-fro movement of the
side brushes. This steadies the whole
set and at the same time allows of
moving the whole very rapidly over
the floor by means of the long handle.

New TREATMENT FOR
SWOLLEN Veins

Swollen veins are dangerous and
often burst. Sufferers are advised to
get a two-ounce, original bottle OF
Emerald Oil Gull strength) at any
pharmacist and start to reduce the
veins and punches at once.
Physicians recommend Emerald Oil;
it is used in hospital practice and
small bottle will last long time, be-
cause it is very concentrated. Apply
as directed until the swelling is re-
duced to normal.

The Masked Tuaregs.
Another interesting people of the
African desert-the masked Tuaregs-
are thus described in bulletin of the
National Geographic society:
Masked Tuaregs are Berber nomads,
white desert people, whose country
is probably the most inaccessible on
earth. Even before Egyptian civiliza-
ton began to leave coherent records
of it's history the Tuaregs, or Berbers,
were long established along northern
Africa. The great Arab invasion of
the eleventh century displaced them
from their possessions upon the sea-
coast and drove them into the savage
area of the interior desert, where, with
their hands raised against all who
have maintained themselves through
the intervening centuries, despite lack
of water. sandstorms and lack of farm
ing land, requisitioning by force Of
arms from the Arabs and Egyptians,
to the north and east, and from the
blacks of the Sudan, in the south, such
necessities and luxuries as their cheer
less portion of mother earth cannot
supply them.
There are five main tribes in the
Tuareg confederation, and they in
habit the desert from Tuat to Tim

When colds, grippe or sore threats
are rampant in your neighborhood,
take unusual precautions. Never let
the feet stay damp; change into dry
shoes and stockings if you come in

some antiseptic gargle two or three

WAR NEWS.

- London, Dec. THE comment
of the anti-government press on
the capture Of Bucharest is ex.
tremely bitter. 1t is declared
that the fall of the Rumanian cap
ital will cause keen sense of
grief and shame to every English
man and that it is due before all
else to the colossal blunders Of
Lord Grey's diplomacy.
Apart from the anti-govern-
ment criticism it is generally con-
ceded that the event will be a
blow to the prestige Of the allies
and a corresponding increase of
the prestige of the central pow
ers. The view is expressed that
it will probably cause a prolonga-
ton of the war. One editorial
says:
''It is indisputable that the en-
tente collectively has suffered
disaster defying belittlement."
The Mail assumes that the
wheat the Germans claim to have
captured is that which Great
Britain bought for ten million
pounds. Ag ,r
Russians Still Hold
Black Sea Coast. ~
A Petrograd dispatch to the
Post records the view there that
the capture Of Bucharest will
bring enormous prestige to the
central powers but says that it
not affect the strategy of the
war and involves no loss to the
cause of the allies provided the
Germans fail to establish them
selves on the Black Sea coast. The
dispatch adds that this vital point
is not now in Rumanian but Rus
sian hands.

THE BRITISH CRISIS.

quith, partly the result of tn
fierce assaults of the Northcliff,
, press, partly the immediate conse
quence of the new disaster in tn,
Balkans, marks the greatest DO
lltlcal crisis in England since the
beginning of the war. Whether
its sequel will be more aggressive
and intelligent prosecution of the
war. or stimulate movement for
peace is for the future to decide.
Mr.. Asquith was at the head of
Liberal Government, facing the
, crisis of the Ulster and army re-
volt, when the European war
cloud broke. The Cabinet, with
some strengthening, continued to
exist for some time; but as reverse
piled on reverse he was forced, in
May, 1915. to form a coalition Gov.
ernment and this Government of
incompatible elements has since
conducted the war, always more
or less under fire from those hostile
to Mr.. Asquith and the Liberal
party.

the beginning of the year and
Germany appeared to have been
