to such additions as are compelled by
evaporation.
"Old water" and new water" are
terms which are not understood as well
as they might be, even by the fanciers,
but they mean just what they say, and
no more.
There is no virtue in old water Just
because it IS old. Old water can be as
bad as new water" or raw water" as
1t is sometimes called. The good quail
ties must be in it, at any given time.
Old water, in other words, will not re-

No keeper of home aquarium should
permit himself to become obscessed with
the idea of establishing record in re-

Every newcomer to this hobby reads Of

more trouble than the periodic addition

The amateur should aim at such a

should keep his eyes, and especially his

Aquarium keeping exalts the human
nose to the place it held in the old days
when quick scent was essential to the
safety Of the race.
In properly managed aquarium one
will never smell anything wrong or dis
tasteful to human senses.
1t is not the actuality which one must
look for, and smell for, but the posi-
bility of something going wrong; one
must be before-handed and before

Possibility Of danger looms large in
any undertaking which would attempt

Jew and Arab in Palestine.

This weeks sixteenth anniversary Of
the Balfour declaration, whereby, as the
League of Nations mandatory, Great
Britain established the Jewish National
Home in Palestine, was marked by
grave eXcesses throughout the Holy
Land, precipitated by Arab hostility to
increased immigration Of Jews, par
ucularly those fleeing from oppression
In Germany. British forces, RESPONSIBLE
for the preservation of law and order,
were compelled to clear for action on
an intensive scale There were numer-
GUS killed and injured before quiet was
restored. An Arab general strike
famed the unrest.
The immigration issue has been acute
ever since the Jewish Agency for
Palestine applied for an immigration
quota of $4,000. submitting data in
support of those figures. They were
based on the claim that Palestine suf-
fers from genuine labor shortage. due
largely to the development of the pros
porous orange growing industry by the
Jewish agricultural settlements. Never
theless the Palestine government de-
cided to restrict Jewish labor inmi-
grants to 5000 for the next six months.
Against even this limited quota the
Arab element Is In revolt, although the
total Jewish population OF Palestine is
only some 162 900, compared to nearly
100000 Arabs.
Despite the British effort to main
tain even-handed justice as between
Moslem and Jew, clashing Of the rival
sects over control and use of the holy
places in Palestine has been bitter and
constant. The memories Of the Wall
ing Wall riots in August, 1929, still
linger
Despite, too, the undeniable economic
and cultural blessings brought into
Palestine by the Jewish element since
it became the field Of organized Zion
list colonization, the Arabs have never
reconciled themselves to its presence
and growing economic Importance. The
Moslem community has become imbued
with the idea that the ancient soil,
which the Arabs ruled since 1877, is
steadily passing from their control and
influence. Under such circumstances
the Arabs were bound to view with
alarm the growing numerical proper
tions Of the Jewish element, not
withstanding the abundant prosperity
which the latter brought to the coun-
try, even In the midst Of world wide
depression.
The Jews In Palestine have given,
under delicate and difficult circum-
stances, a creditable and constructive
account Of themselves. AT q time when
European conditions seem to make a
new exodus OF Jews inevitable and
havens of refuge more necessary than
ever, II would be & thousand pltleS II

But events in Palestine seem to be
proving that East is still East, and
West West, and that the time when

amity and mutual tolerance is still
afar off. Allenby conquered the Holy
Land from the Turk, but Britannia
