Modern City on Ancient Site.
The modern city stands on virtually
the ancient site. The older sections
are partly within wall built by the
Saracens. A medieval castle on the
site of the ancient citadel is deserted
and in ruins. 1t stands on q mound
partly artificial and faced with stone
The population Of the city, about 100,
600, is three-quarters Moslem. The
European residents, the Armenians
and other native Christians and the
Jews all occupy separate sections of
the city. The exports are mainly tex
tiles, leather and nuts. The nearest
seaport is Alexandretta, 20 miles away
on the Mediterranean coast.
A city so old and held by so many
peoples, with their various religions
may be expected to have its share of
legends and holy places. Aleppo is
rather disappointing in that respect.
There are few shrines of any sort and
all of any consequence are Mohamme.

there are many, contains tomb re-

Of John the Baptist.
The Turks have long regarded Alep.
pc as one of the strongholds of their
faith and the probable capital of their
dominion should they be forced out of
Europe.

oldtlme Border Controversy.

There was once border dispute be.
tween the states of Michigan and Ohio,
but it was peaceably settled and had
no serious results. In 1885 contro-
versy arose in regard to the boundary
line between the states and the right
to strip of land to which both laid
claim. A convention held at Detroit
that year framed a constitution by
which Michigan claimed the tract. For
awhile there was danger of bloodshed,
but it "blew over" In June, 1886, con-
gress passed an act admitting Michi-
gan into the Union on condition that
she relinquish her claim to the dis
puted tract, in consideration of which
another tract, known as "the Upper
Peninsula" was given her. These con-
ditions were rejected by one conven-
ton, but accepted by another held In
1886, and In January, 1887, Michigan
was admitted into the Union.

Ostrich Eggs
in Liquid Form

The report of the British Imperial
institute on consignment of ostrich
eggs in liquid form gives the following
analytical data: Water, ISL per cent !;
protein, 10.7 per cent; fat, ia per
cent, and ash, IA per cent Chinese
liquid eggs contain: Water, TOT per
cent; protein, 1877 per cent; fat, 1877
per cent, and ash, 1t per cent. If the
above figures are calculated on uni
form basis of rs per cent of water, the
composition works out the same in the
two cases, and 1t is also seen that
liquid ostrich eggs contain less pro-
tein and more fat than average hens.
eggs, though rather less of these in
gradients than ducks eggs. The re-
port adds that the strong odor of
liquid ostrich eggs may prevent their
use for edible purposes, but that they
might be useful for technical pur-
poses in the forms of egg albumen
and Of preserved egg yolk in the
leather industry. = South African

Burkbennett, Tex.-After remaining

rescued, uninjured.
The child was playing and accident

that night it reached the baby. The
child was brought to the surface and
an examination showed that it had

Baby May left home early in the
afternoon intending to buy candy.
Five minutes later her parents were
searching the house for her. Believing
she had wandered uptown, several
men went up and down the streets
looking for her. The police were noti-
fed, but not until after Rock Island
train No. Al had gone west.
Anyway, the station was the last
place the parents and police thought
to look for the child. But late in the
afternoon a telegram from Bonneville,
addressed to the chief of police, was
received. 1t read: "Have ON train
No. Al, out of Little Rock, q three
year-old girl. Think she was deserted.

When No. A arrived at the station
Mr.. and Mrs. Arnett stood close to the
iron gate and watched the detraining
passengers. After watching some time
their hopes almost faded away, and
then they spied their baby in the arms
of the conductor.
