AN EGYPTIAN SOTOBAD.
His Storr Told la Ancient Fapxraa
3,000 Years Old.
In the Hermitage Museum at St. Peters
burg there Is a very ancient papyrus,
nearly B.000 years 'old. which contains a
story reminding one. says a writer In the
Raja Toga Messenger, of the adventures
of the famous SIndbad in the "Arabian
Nights."
The hero, a very ancient mariner, be
gins by saying that he was one of a band
of ISO fearless adventurers, "whose hearts
were stronger than lions, and who had
seen heaven and earth." They were on
their way to the mines of Pharaoh in a
ship of 150 cubits, but 111 fate awaited
them, for presently the wind rose and
threw uu mighty waves and the ship was
wrecked.
Every one perished but the hero, wno
was washed ashore on a pieco of wood.
He found himself stranded upon an 11-
and. but it was no desert. There were
fruits and s-oodlv herbs and many otner
fine things. The sailor had been piously
brought up. for after enjoying a good
meal he made an offering to the gods.
Immediately the marvels began, and it
Is clear that the good character of the
hero sated him from destruction, for the
next thing he saw was a huge serpent of
terrible aspect, his body overlaid with
gold and his color a bright blue. How
ever, the serpent did him no harm, but
politely asked how he had reached the
Island.
Being satisfied with the answer, the
kfnsr of fh jurnents. for It was no lfSS a
personage, carried the sailor in his mouth
to a place where there was a inoe oi
seenty-!ive other serpents. The serpent
king said: "If thou hast come to me It Is
God who has let you live. It is He who
has brought you to this Isle of the Blest,
where nothing is lacking and which Is
filled with all good things "
The serpent then told lilm to be of good
cheer, for he would be rescued by a ship
from his own land In three months. Our
Egyptian SIndbad spent much of his time
watching for the ship from the top of a
tall tree. At last It arrived, and the first
thing he did was to run to the kind ser
pent to tell him. His surprise was great
when he found that the serpent knew all
about It. and had seme gifts ready for
him to take away. On parting the ser
pent said: "Farewell, go to thy home and
see thy little children once more; let thy
name be good In thy town."
The sailor was very grateful for the
kindness he-had receied and he offered
to sneak for the serpent before King
Pharaoh and to return with a ship full
of treasure; tit for such a friend rf men
cast away In a far-off land. But the ser
pent said no; they would not meet again.
for the magical Island would disappear
and melt away when he was gone.

Is There Lack of Christian
Sp irit Between the Nations?
Writing under dJte of September S
from Lucerne, Switzerland, to the Con
gregationalism Dr. Frederick Lynch, of
New York, whose activity In the Mohonk
conference and International arbitration
as a world movement Is well known,
makes comment on Europe's attitude to
ward the Panama Canal programme of
the L'nlted States He says. In part:
"Tre paradox of the twentieth cen
tury Is that everywhere Christian rela
tionships prevail between Individuals and
pagan relationships between the nations
to which these individuals belong I am
writing on the terrace of one of the
most charming gardens of Lucerne.
Close beside me Is a group of English
men and Germans Their talk Is full of
the utmost good will The relations be
tween these people Is Christian through
and through. The German would never
think of stealing the Englishman's purse,
and the Englishman would never suspect
the German of murderous designs upon
him. They do not quarrel. If they did.
they would not fly at each other's
throat. They would submit the dispute
to the nearest friend or, if It were a
serious quarrel, to an Impartlil Jury. As
a matter of fact, nationality Is not up
permost In their talk. These particular
Germans und Englishmen happen to be
talking In trench Their whole rela
tionship has been completely Christian
ized. Governments Still Suspicions.
"But the moment the German govern
ment and the English government ex
change words, the whole atmosphere
changes from Christian to pagan. It Is
as if Christianity had never existed, or
else had no part In the relationships of
nations. The talk Is all of preparation
for murderous assault of one nation
upon the other. Each declares the other
harbors designs of Invasion, and each
seems to believe that the other would
seize the land at once did it dare. In
stead of good will there is recrimination.
No bandit in pre-Christian Europe ever
armed himself against a fellowroan as
each one of these nations is arming Itself
against the other. Should the slightest
dispute arise, these nations are ready to
fly at each other's throats and It Is only
because the few who believe Christian
ethics should prevail between nations are
influential enough to be Heard in these
days that these two great naUons were
kept from flying at each other's throats
last year. It seems too horrible to be
believed, but It Is true: and so pagan
still are all the codes of national ethics
In spite of Hague conferences and peace
congresses, that It would take little to
plunge these two nations Into war.

clares that the action of Congress and

War Within Few
'Days Is Assured
London, Oct 12. That all the Balkans
will be ablaze with war within the next
fiw days, is the one Impression con
veyed by every dispatch received to-day
from all the capitals of Europe. Tur
key's delass In replying to the note of
the powers and the Sultan's orders for
a general mobilization of the Turkish
arms are Interpreted as having only one
meaning and that Is war.
The ultimatum of the Balkan states Is
"hourly expected, and there la nothing
to tounteract the belief that it will be
followed by an Immediate declaration
of hostilities.
Llosds' Milan correspondent definitely
confirms that peace negotiations be
tween Turkey and Italy have been sus
pended and Italy now reserves full lib
erty of action on land and sea.
The Sunday Observer editorially points
out that the Intense rivalry and Jealousy
between Austria and Russia Is largely
the cause of the present condition of
Europe and that but for secular oppo
sition between these two countries the
few millions of Turks would have been
swept out of tbe Balkans long ago by
one or the other. Unless this antago
nism Is removed the Observer thinks It
may Involve Europe in a war which will
reach to other countries. The Observer
continues:
"The great war which has been the
nightmare of civilized thought for forty
years may at last come, largely because
of the benumbing Influence of the general
reluctance to believe that it can come.
"Whatever the denouement of the mili
tary drama or the final Issue of the diplo
matic sequel, many things In Europe will
neter be the same again after the incal
culable arbitrament of arms."

MAKING OVER JERUSALEM.
Telephones, Pavlna, Sewers, Tram
ways and Water Works.
From the American Hebrew.
The latest indication of the progress
going on in Jerusalem was the arrival
a short time ago of a massive American
motor road roller, and the decision to
equip the city wl$h an efficient tram
way system. The walls Inclose 209 acres,
of which thirty-five acres are occupied
by the Temple lnciosure. But owing to
the impossibility of housing the thou
sands of Jewish Immigrants who still
continue to arrive building has been pro
ceeding outside the walls to a very con
siderable extent
The consequence of the presence of
this extramural population Is that first
one and then another of the gates was
left open by night, until to-day they are
all perpetually open. Indeed, two of the
gatewas's have no gates at alL Mean
while the Mohammedan population Is
not by any means keeping pace with the
Jewish and the Holy City seem in a
fair way to become once more In fact as
well as In name the capital cits of the
Hebrew race.
Jerusalem Is soon to have Its own
tramway service as a concession for the
purpose has already been granted to a
French company, which will start last
ing the tram lines In the course of the
summer. An English company has ap
plied for a concession to illuminate the
city with water b the construction of
large reservoirs near wells situated at a
distance of about sixteen miles from Je
rusalem. ,
Th& municipality Is also considering
proposals, for paving- the streets and con
structing sewage works. A modern
fire extinguishing apparatus and a tele
phone Installation are also to be pro
vided. The project of constructing a harbor
in Jaffa, which has been discussed for
the last thirty years, is likely to be real
ized st last. A French-Belgian company.
with the co-operation of the Jaffa-Jerusalem
Railway Company. Is said to have
applied for a concession to earn out the
project, for which It has raised a cap
ital of nearly one million pounds ster
ling. The government Is reported to
have come to an agreement with the
company about the conditions of the
concession and only the consent of par
liament Is now necessary.
J. G, Ilnyea Not Killed.
Reports that J. G. Hayes, manager of
the Hearst estate In Chihuahua, had
been killed have been proved absolutely
untrue, according to dispatches received
at the State Department yesterday from
Mexico. There Is no change In the Mex
ican situation, either for the better or
worse.
