Sewing Machines Ia Arabia.

The sale of sewing machines in
Arabia has increased since the war
begun, owing in part to the demand
Of Red Cross organizations. A recent
shipment of 800 American machines.
according to a correspondent, will be
disposed of as follows: One hundred
IN Alden. 200 in Abyssinia. 100 in Red
Sea ports and 200 In the Persian Gulf
district. There is also an increased
demand on the part of the natives.
Germany formerly supplied the terri
tory with cheap machines. but the
stocks of these are low, and American
products now lead. Foot-power sew
ing machines are In growing prefer
ence over the hand-operated type, but
electrically-driven machines cannot be
sold, as there is no general electric
service plant In Alden. Dust and rust
are difficulties experienced in the use
of the machines In the Arabian Gle

When the sheriff arrived there was

clImbers Imprlsoned Atop Full

The wisdom of erecting huts on Full
for refuge In case Of sudden storms
of snow and rain was proved recently
when violent fall Of snow and hail
burst upon the crest of the sacred
mountain. During two days more than
10000 climbed the mountain and sud-
den arrival of the storm caught sew
eral hundred Of them upon the hilltop.
They sought safety in the numerous
refugees. When the storm burst the
police compelled all excursionists to
wait for better weather at Gotemba
and Tarobo. Relief parties were sent
out but were unable to get through the
drifts. Anxiety was felt for the food
supply, but the adventures came
down safely. For two days the peo-
pie in the snow were incommuni-
cado, owing to the destruction of the
telephone wires. These will be buried
before next season.

DRIVING CATTLE BY MOTOR
Stock Dealer Introduces Innovation
Which May Sooner or Later Rele-
GATE Broncho tc Background.

A naW use for q motOrcar has been
found by cattle dealer in one of the
middle western states, whose business
coapels him to drive extensive herds
of meat on the hoof along the roads,
says On exchange. During the hottest
part of last summer this Purveyor de-
termined to drive his animals by night
In order to spare them the Inevitable
suffering that attended such operations
in the middle Of the day. Getting IN
his car, he started the herd ahead of
him in the road, and by throwing the
searchlight before and honking his
horn he kept the animals moving quick
ly in the compact mass.
There are instances Of the use CT
the motorcar in roundup work In the
far West, so that the traditional pic
ture of cowboy astride a bucking
broncho may have to give way to one
of that leather-breeched gentleman
cuddled down into the wheel of iex'
ible runabout, his lasso presumably
dangling over the windshield.

Jerusalem,s Great Walls.

After 1914 Jerusalem was under the
rule of the sultans of Egypt until the
year 1917, when Selim l conquered
both Palestine and Egypt, taking the
title Of caliph, and carrying off the
sacred banner of the Moslems to Con-
stantinople. Selim's son, Suleiman the
Magnificent, once more built the great
walls about Jerusalem. These walls
of Suleiman are the present fOrtifica-
lions Of the city. But the great walls
of Suleiman the Magnificent are only
the last of long series Of walls
which, time after time, have been
built only to be destroyed. The most
tragical destruction not only of the
walls, but also of the whole city, was
that which was carried out by the Ro-
man armies of Titus, In the year 20
of our era, in the reign of the Emperor
Yespasian.

Chemistry has been accorded an al
most formal recognition as the science
at the heart of modern warfare. The
British ministry Of reconstruction has
pointed out that Germany selected the
chemical industry for especial nurture
in making its war preparations, es-
pecially that part of the industry deal
ing with coal tar derivatives, in which
field the imperial government gradual
ly won temporary world monopoly.
The minister of reconstruction has ap-
pointed a committee Of six chemists
to investigate the situation In England
and to recommend plan for making
the British chemical industry self-sus-
tanning and equal to any call upon 1t
during and after the war.

found 1t to be for one thousand dol

had awakened latent romance In his

choice fortunately fell upon sweet

riding in the old automobile, and Neil
made that the test of her worthiness.

1t was because Jed Farley recog-

Morton Farley, was a sore spot with
Jed. The latter was hard man in
every sense of the word. He was, how
ever, rather precise and welded to his
ways than grasping or deliberately
cruel.
He had not spoken to his brother nor
any member of his family for ten
years. The separation had come about
through money matters. He had loaned
Morton a thousand dollars. The money
was to be paid back in two years.
When 1t came due Morton had writ
ten to his brother, stating that he
could not repay the loan, and asking
Jed to come and visit him, as he was
very i'll, and see if some arrangement
could not be made for payment In the
future.

They find that an engine can easily

Moreover, an engine will not start
