OLD T0MBS OF PATRIARCHS
Cave of MachpeIah, Bought by Abra-
ham for a Burying Place, Has
Stood RaVages of Time.

The tOmbs of the patriarchs in Jeru-
salem, the cave of Machpelah, which
Abraham bought for "a possession of
a burying place." is still in existence.
For forty centuries it withstOOd the
ravages of time and men, relates a
writer.
1t is situated in the town of Hebron,
16 miles sOuth-SOuthwest of Jerusalem,
and sheltered from proclamation by a
MahOmetan mosque that rises above it.
The tomb contains the whole patri-
archal family with the exception of
Rachel. The cave is divided into an
upper and lower compartment. Only
the upper compartment is accessible to
the priest in charge of the mosque,
but he only enters it in times of great
calamity, and for the sole purpose of
praying. AS to the lower cOmpart-
ment, where repOse the illustriOus ia
theirs of the Jewish nation, they re-
manned completely closed until the
year 1862, when, for the first time,
King Edward VII, then the prince
of Wales, together with Doctor Stan
ley, the dean of Westminster Abbey,
and two other friends, were granted
admission.
The six tombs are arranged symmet-
rically in rows of twOs; a seventh, in
the wall, is believed to belong to JO-
Seph. Abraham's tomb, which has the
form of coffin with shelving ridge,
is about eight feet high, and is set in
the cemented stone and marble. 1t is
covered with three gold embroidered
green carpets, which are the gifts of
the emperor of COnstantinOple, Ma
hOmet II, the conquerOr of Egypt, Selin
II, and the Sultan Abdul Medjld.

LIGHTS OF SHINAGAWA BAY

Countless AnimaIcuIi.

Strange lights hover over the waters
of Japan at various places. The burn
Ing spring that appears at intervals
of several years in one of the land
locked bays is a natural phenomenon
that has attracted the attention of the
scientific world. A new and curious
spectacle made its appearance in Shi-

The Savants of Japan are giving

and ChikugO in Kyushu. The latter
lights, however, are of a yellOw-red
orange color, whereas those in Shinag-

Doctor Kishigami of the college Of
agriculture in the Tokyo imperial uni

RARE TREAT IN STORE

Among the notable musical enter
tainments of the season the concert
to be given next Thursday night, April
18th, at tile Monarch by the Porter
Concert Orchestra and assisting art
lists, promises to be the most enjoy
able event of the year. Early in the
fall, the Red Cross chapter of Farm
ington extended an invitation to Prof.
Porter to put on a series of three con-
certs for the benefit of the Red Cross
work, and the invitation was accept
ed. The first concert was given 0c-
tober 14th, and proved to be thorough
ly good, with a record breaking at
tendance, and netting the Red Cross
the largest single donation realized
from any entertainment enterprise up
to that time.
The, forthcoming concert is the Sec
ond Of the series of three, and as
planned will present some delightful
novelties, which, with the splendid or
chestral numbers, will make up an
evening of the most enjoyable char
acter. At the last concert some con-
fusion was occasioned by the extraor-
dinary number Of automobiles from
all parts Of the county which were
parked about the Monarch, the crowd
being so large that difficulty was ex-
2erienced in finding parking space
near the theater. But for this con-

The season is now at hand when the
oiling of the streets of Pennington
should be looked after. Not that The
Times believes that this important
work is in any danger of being over
looked for the ensuing summer. There
is no doubt but that it will be attend
ed to sometime before, midsummer.
What this paper does fear, however,
is that the oiling of the streets may
be put off too long to accomplish the
greatest amount of good for Farming
ton and her people.
The primary purpose of oiling the
streets is to eradicate and eliminate
the dust, and the practice Of spread
ing oil over the streets of Pennington
has been practiced so long in this city
that there is doubtless not a person
in the confines of the city, who will
be called upon to bear part Of the ex-
penses of such oiling, who would want
to see the splendid custom abandoned.
This practice has earned for Farm
ington the distinction of this city hav-
ing become known, quite generally, as
the "dustless town." When it comes
to insuring real convenience and
pleasure to its inhabitants, there are
few things that go further than to
eliminate the dust from town or city.
Now, what The Times has in mind
is to do away with the dust in the
spring and early summer months, as
well as in the months of midsummer.
At this season of the year, when the
winds are often quite strong, the dust
can become as uncomfortable and as
unpleasant as it may be in the mid
summer. In fact it is at this period
that dust storms are likely to be more
frequent and disagreeable than at any
other season of the year, providing
the dust is not dissipated with coat
ing of oil just about this time of year.
This was the case last year. The OIL
ing was too long postponed to receive
the greatest benefit for Pennington.
The same thing will be permitted to
occur again this season unless the
first sprinkling of oil is soon made ov-
er the streets, where considerable dust
now, accumulates in the absence of
rainsfor few days. III +,
The annual oiling of the streets
should be made in two sprinklings.
There is no question about this. The
very great advantage of two sprink-
lings of oil in single season, over a
single sprinkling, has been demon
strated beyond peradventure. This
is true, even though the same amount
of oil is used for the two sprinklings
that would be used in a single sprink-
ling. The most approved plan is to
use rather light sprinkling at about
this time of year, and then about six
weeks later use a somewhat heavier

BOTH SONS WRITE

That splendid old citizen, J. C. Will
liams, was unusually cheered the past
week by receiving letters from each
of his sons, both of whom have re-
sponded to their country's call. Neith-
er of the boys have ever been especial
ly gifted with the habit of writing
home, hence the fathers pleasure on
hearing from both of them in the same
week.
Marvin c. Williams, who is the old
est boy, and who has been in the SER
vice for some time past, is now Mas
ter Signal Electrician, A. S. S. c., and
is stationed in the Chanute Fields,
Rantoul, Ill.
The other son, Henry Paul Will
liams, who had been stationed at Fort
Travis, San Antonio, Texas, until re-
Gently, has been moved to Hoboken,
N. j., where he is now serving on the
Military Police. Paul is entitled to a
commission as First Lieutenant, ow-
ing to previous military training, but
thus far he has refused to accept it,
preferring to serve as a private.
Both the boys write that they are
pleased with the service, but are also
anxious to get in shooting distance Of
the Germans.

sprinkling. In this way, and in this
way only, can the maximum amount
Of benefit be administered to the
streets. The result will be that the
two sprinklings will last practically
throughout the year, in the elimina-
tion of dust, and the oil should not be
put on 80 thick as to permit It to ac-
cumulate in depressions. With two
such sprinklings every drop OF oil
will stay where il will do the greatest
amount of good, and there will be ab-
soiutely no waste, as has been the
case in years past. as
The, Times would respectfully re-
fer this, matter to the immediate and
careful attention of the City Council,
under whose auspices street oiling is
attended to. 1t is most important
matter. But Anything that is worth
doing at all is worth doing well. The
efforts that have been put forth along
this line in previous years has brought
to this city many splendid compli-
ments, and the fact that there are
comparatively few "dustless towns"
throughout the country, causes Farm
ington to stand out prominently in
this regard. For this reason alone, if
for no other, the people of Farming
ton should not be willing to dismiss
this matter with simply sprinkling
the streets with oil, so long as there
is a way of improving such oiling,
with practically no additional cost.
The only argument The Times has
heard for a single oiling is that it is
postponed sufficiently late in the sea-
son to avoid the rainy season. There
is absolutely nothing to such an ar
gument. In the first place there is no
fixed rainy season in this section of
the country. Then the two oilings--
first light and then heavier oiling
will in no way be impaired, even
though both such oilings may be i'm
mediately followed by heavy rains.
In using a lighter sprinkling, at two
different times, the oil will take hold
of the dirt and dust in a way that it
will be absolutely inseparable. The
feet that but one sprinkling has been
used in the past is also one of the
weakest arguments for the continu-
ance Of such plan. For while it has
been successful in way, it has been
far from being wholly successful.
Better ways of doing things are con-
stantly being proved. The advantage
of two street oilings, over single oil
ing, with the same amount of oil be-
ing used, has already been definitely
demonstrated. The Times has no sell
fish interest in making the foregoing
Suggestions. 1t is wholly for the good
of Pennington that it speaks. Will
the Council try this plan, the merit of
which has already been proven, for
Farmington's good?

cert better arrangement will be pro-
vided. The musicians selected to
make up the personnel Of the orchestra
for this concert are all well known in
st. Francois county, and have been Sc
lected from all parts of the county so
as to get the best talent available.
Pennington has had many orches-
ira concerts in the past, all good, but
it is probable none of them have ev-
er reached the artistic level of this
entertainment. The assisting artists
chosen are the best obtainable, and
each is well known and liked because
of the certainty that something ex-
tremely good will be given. Tickets
are now being sold by members of
the Red Cross, and as there will be
no seats reserved, the early comers
will be sure to secure the best seats.

The financiers everywhere expected
the issue to be much larger than the

perfected for sale largely in excess
of this. Now with the organizations
that have been effected the quota
should be subscribed in a very brief
