ming sky in February is made un-
usually brilliant by .he presence Of
the three brightest planets. At
nightfall they are high above the
horizon, Venus in the southwest,
Jupiter In the south and Mars farth-
er east. easily recognized because Of
its red color.
Jupiter and Venus are cloudy
planets. The clouds are in bands
parallel to their equators: their
tops. which we see, are brilliant In
the sunlight. Each planet has q
broad band around its equator,
where the updraft is great and
many clouds form. 1t Is bordered
by dark belts of descending cloud
destroying currents. Other bright
ard dark bands occur in higher lati-
tudes.
This upside-down view Of the
weather in other worlds is certainly
novel: it is something like the tele-
scopic view an inhabitant Of an
other plant would have Of our
weather. He would see the earth
as a belted planet and not very
much Of its surface. We are unable
to see anything at all of the surface
Of Jupiter and Venus. Doubtless

Flies Over Belize
In the afternoon Col. Lindbergh
made a short flight over Belize with
members of their suite. His chief
object was to study the site of a
future landing field from the air.
He expressed satisfaction with the
plans, but criticized the present
ramp which he regards as too mar

on this ramp yesterday the wheels
ran into the soft mud. 1t was neces-
sary to drag the plane out with a
tractor.
The American airman was espe-

Jewish Population Increased
From 5000 at Close of
War to 5000.

"Haifa, where British military forces
recently clashed with rlotiIig lnhabit-
ants, Is one Of the most important gate
ways to Palestine" says a bulletin from
the National Geographic Society.
1.-THE Bay Of Acre, on the southern
shore Of which the city is located, af-
fords one of the finest natural road
steads on the Palestine coast. Ocean
going steamers, however, are compelled
because of lack Of docking facilities to
anchor OF shore. The Bay Of Acre Is
the first deep indentation on the Pales-
tine coast for 800 miles north Of the
mouth Of the Nile.
Jewish Population Increases.
Most of Haifa Is modern. There Is
o German settlement. with fine resi-
dences, business buildings and schools,
some Of which are surrounded by lawns
studded with flower beds and shrubs.
And the Jews have a new quarter which
has been developing along modern lines,
as hundreds of Jewish immigrants en-
tered this port and settled in the city
and in the immediate neighborhood. At
the close of the war there were but
5000 Jews in the city. In 1925 there
were 10000. Since then the Jewish pop
ulation has continued its growth, and
the total population of the city has
steadily increased until at the outbreak
Of the recent riots there were more than
10000 Mohammedan Christians and
Jews in the city.
There is little in the city to recall
that Haifa was the site of a settlement
as far back as the first century AID.

the center Of the town, with streets so
narrow that o mere slit Of sunlight
touches the cobbles at noon, and 50
hilly that few vehicles can negotiate
them. The buildings, In poor repair
and in many cases unkempt, appear to
be older than their century or two of
age.
I'm normal times camels loaded with
lumber from the forests back OF the
city, sand from the wide beach around
the Bay OF Acre and sealed cases, per-
haps destined for the hold of an awaiting
vessel In the harbor, slowly plod through
the streets at snail's pace. Donkeys,
no taller than the average mans hips,
stagger under loads so voluminouS that
only the legs of the diminutive animals
are in sight. The old victoria with its
oignined driver is still part Of
Haifa street Scene.
Late-Model Autos Used.
"But motor cars are driving these old
transports to the cutters. In front Of
the hotel the latest models from Ameri-
can automobile factories are making it
hard for the old 'cabbies' to find park
ing space. Only the German cart with
the latticed V-shaped body appears to
be holding its own against the invasion
Of motor-drawn vehicles.
1T has not been many years since
electricity was installed in Haifa. While
some Of the inhabitants are still trim
ming lamp wickS, electric lights are be-
coming popular, and the unkempt ma
tive stores have been giving way to
cleaner, light quarters with plate-glasS
show windows displaying modern mer-
chandise
"One Of the principal industries Of
Ha1fa, the cement industry, was begun
by American capital. A So, 900 900 plant
grinds out the dust for new building
construction. The raw material Is dug
from the side of Mount Carmel, on top
of which Elijah Knocked the prophets
OF Baal. In the mountainside pits the
Mount Carmel dirt Is shoveled into bas-
ketS and carried on the heads Of scores
Of men and women to small dump cars.
There are also soap factories, which
were made famous when the German
Kaiser visited Haifa in 1898 and hon.
ored the factory owners by an inspec-
ton. The German colony was founded
as a religious center by German Tenn
plars OF Wurtemburg, who migrated to
Haifa in 1858. The colony was closed
to non-members of the Templars at first.
Later other German colonists were adj
nitted, and the colony became an i'm.
portant German trade headquarters.
Recognizing its importance as
Palestine gateway, railroad men have
built lines connecting the port with I'M
portant cities along the coast and In the
hinterland. One railroad line follows
the coast southwark. About 80 miles
south Of Haifa on this line trains bound
for Jerusalem switch to the east for a
30-mtle run to the Holy City. Another
line out Of Haifa penetrates another
area familiar to Bible students, passing
close to Nazareth and skirting the south
shore OF the Sea of Galilee. This line
connects with the Hedjaz Raireac,
which runs through Damascus and
Aleppo. Branches of the Hedjaz touch

boxes for the present revolt, and Tri-
