Central Japan Prosperous.

The people of central Japan, where some of the principal agricultural dis tricts are located, appear prosperous and contented and crop prospects are favorable. due to the fact that the farmers had money with which to buy fertilizers and have given their crops excellent care.
 Rice, millet and vegetable crops are in splendid condition, while the silk crop is the best in years. Fine. large coeoons are the result or well fertilzed nulberries and favorable weather It is te,ieyed that American silk maru- lecturers would do well to lay in a supply of the better grades.

Gentle, and Jerusalem, the most sacred shrine of two of the worlds greatest religions.
 While the Turks. masters in Jeru- salem for four hundred years. per mitted travellers to visit the Holy City, and while thousands of Jewish and Christian pilgrims passed within its walls and even took up their abode there, the Moslem rule was none too satisfactory when measured by west ern standards. Now that the World war has rescued Jerusalem from the Mohammedan ally of Germany and has led to the placing of all Palestine under the mandate of western power, the Jews who return to the land of their fathers and their prophets, and the Christians who visit the birthplace of their religion are as sured of an atmosphere more to their liking.
 Since the allies under Gen. Allenby entered Jerusalem December II, 1917, after driving out the Turks, and since the Supreme Council of the Allied Powers placed the mandate for Pales- tine In Great Britain, April 25, 1920, a system of western jurisprudence has grown up, police policies have been modified, and steps have been taken to improve sanitation and to plan the future growth of the city along more desirable lines in So far as arrange ment and sanitation are concerned. but so that the newer portions will conform architccturally as nearly as possible to the characteristic archi- lecture of the old city
 The greatest physical boon to Jerusalem resulting from the new dis penSation k q generous supply of pure water piped into the city by the British within a few months after the expulsion of the Turks, which dis placed the dirty diSeasc-breedlng ciS- terms upon which the residents of the city were previously dependent
 It was only necessary for the mod ern engineers to clean out an old Roman tank near Bethlehem to lead
 ne waters of a spring into 1t, and to lay n pipe line to the city-and one of Jerusalem's age-long needs was filled.
 Not only does the control of west crn power in Palestine promise in gen eral q better day for the Jews and Christians who desire to visit the country or live there, hut the stua- ton is immeaSurably bettered for the Jews by the specific statement cf the Supreme Council of the Allied Pow CTS when the mandate was given to Great Britain that their object was that of the Balfour government: "The establishment in Palestine of nation al home for the Jewish people It being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the existing civil and re- ligious rights of existing non-Jewish

communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country"
 Even in the latter years of Turkish rule, the Zion movement led thou sands of Jews to Palestine. These were virile people of the younger gen erations, not the aged and decrepit Jews who in the early part of the past century journeyed to the Holy Land to end their days there and were maintained in idleness in the mean time by pensions from Jews in other Zionist colonies In Judea with an az gregate membership of 15,0OO. The Moslems recognized these young, in- dustrious colonists as good citizens.
 A water supply that flows through iron pipes and brings in its train taps and valves and other adjuncts of mod ern plumbing Is not the only striking physical improvement which has come to Jerusalem as q result of the war. Before the great conflict the only rail-
 
 row gauge line from the port of Jaf- fa; and use of that route by travel CTS involved n none too pleasant trip to Jaffa on coasting steamer. In the conquest of Palestine the British forces constructed new railway roughly parallel with the Mediterra- mean coast, and travellers may now make the journey to Jerusalem from the Seez canal entirely by rail in comfortable equipment In twelve hours or less.
 The railroads do not enter the wall ed city but come to an end at sta tion an the plains to the southwest. The first view of the city for one who travels by rail, therefore, will be the newer Jerusalem that has sprung up outside the walls-a city of religious and social institutions, for the most part, erected by orders and societies of Christians and Jews from all ciimes. Many of these buildings lie to the west of the old city and are visible from the station. Later, the traveller will learn, there are many more buildings to the north and to the northeast toward the Mount of Olives, and fewer number to the south and southeast.
 Though Jerusalem Is surrounded hy relatively modern buildings, and though the war has brought about some striking changes ir it's physical equipment. the American who may be planning trip to this shrine of his faith need not fear that he will find modern city which has lost the charm and interest of age. once in the older parts of the city he will find what he can well believe were the streets along which Jesus and his dis ciples passed nearly two thousand years ago, Here narrow ways faced by ancient stone dwellings wind with many turns. passing now and then through or under buildings by way of dark. ill-smelling tunnels. Camels and donkeys with heavy loads pass, pi loted by shouting drivers.

colorful picture, their voices Babel of sounds. They are far different from the crowds of Bible times, for Christianity, Islam and Judaism have each drawn to Jerusalm pilgrims from the ends of the earth. Arabians from the desert jostle impeccably-dressed Europeans; Turks rub shoulders with orthodox Jews in broad-brimmed hats and long dusterlike robes or with younger, more alert Jews in modern western garb; Armenian, Greek and Latin priests thread their way through the throngs; monks of various orders march along; here and there hooded nun or yelled Moslem woman passes |; and In the seething mass are Chris tian pilgrims from every country un- der heaven.
 Many of the spots in and about Jerusalem, held in reverence because they played a part in the lives of the great characters of the Old Testament, or were made holy by associations with the life of Christ, cannot be au-
 
 however, as to the site of Solomon's temple, and for that reason as well as because the spot is revered by Jew, Christian and Moslem. 1t is one of the points of most general interest in the Holy City. The dominant build ing on the temple site at the present time is the Mohammedan mosque of Omar. The mosque is erected over great rock about which the holy traditions of three religions cluster. Before any religious edifices were erected in Jerusalm the old Israelites are reputed to have made their burnt offerings to Jehovah on this rough nat ural altar Over the rock Solomon later built his world-famous temple, and it is supposed that the Ark of the Covenant was set up upon the great stone In small cavern in the rock, tradition says, Solomon first perform ed the rites of Masonry. In the mid dle ages the crusaders worshiped at this craggy shrine, from which Titus had torn the great temple; and when tnt NIIGttIiS anu iHltis tiit LII hS NtlAiit into control of Jerusalem. Moham- medan mosques were erected on the site. The sacredneSs with which the Moslems look upon the great rock is indicated by their tradition that Mo hammed decreed that "a prayer there is worth thousand elsewhere"
 One of the most important of the purely Christian shrines in Jerusalem is the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. which is restoration of a church of the same ..ame erected by Constantine the Great, first Christian emperor of Rome. This church Is supposed to he erected over the sepulcher in which the body of Jesus was laid after it was taken from the cross. While his torians are not entirely satisfied that the sepulcher inclosed in the church Is the true burial place of Jesus, ac- ceptance of the tradition has made 1t one of the most sacred of sacred | spots to the thousands of Christian pilgrims who flock to the Holy City l annually.

Babylon's Hanging Gardens.

The hanging gardens of Babylon were not in any sense suspended, as one would ordinarily interpret the word hanging. They were simply high up, or on terraces. This form of gar denins has been popular In countries all over the world since Babylon was at It's zenith of greatness. There are many evidences in various parts of the globe of extensive terrace gardening practiced by peoples long since dead4 but there Is very little done at the present day.

''Instinct and Reason

Those who talk of instinct" as taking the place of reason in the lower animals have utterly failed to explain this flock or unit, instinct" which governs the actions of many different kinds of birds.
