Thl hu a particular timeliness from the momentoua events In which the Greek church playa an Important part. Mr. A city beautiful! On Gilder aaya: Palm Sunday, from the stairway near the pot where Mary stood when the body of her son was taken from the cross, I saw the Greek procession In the Church of the Sepulcher. Then I went over to the Mount of Olives. Looking back from a field well up on the hillside, the whole city lay beneath the temple area, with the great mosque In full view across the valley of From here Jerusalem, Jehoaaphat. with Its clear and stately outline of walls, the domes and minarets of the mosques, and the old towers and churches, has a singular completeness. Perhaps even In Solomon's time, from the outside, though different. It was not more lovely. The warm gray of the atones of the city is the color of the unbleached wool of goals; the hills are darker, with a delicate bloom over them, spotted with gray and melting in the distance into violet It Is Indeed a city set upon a hill, isolated, distinguished. The picture realises one's lifelong dream of the city of God. The sunset sky was wild and The cold, with streaks of sunshine. rain ceased, and the air grew warm. In the rich, low light all blemishes were lost, and the City Beautiful was spread before the pilgrim's eyeB. Perhaps It was here that Christ wept over Jerusalem; along or near this path he must have come on the day of his "entry" on the firm Palm Sunday, whose feast wais being kept this very day throughout all Christendom. There were no other travelers; a few Syrians passed by. I gathered some flowers by the wayside and turned again homeward. You see that we did not find the Holy Ind disillusioning. There are many things that confound the western mind; there is flfllth and degradation and superstition. Hut here is the same sky, the same landscape, the same dominating Orient. The painter who knows the Holy Land best said to us In Jerusalem: look at these fields, At times when and realise that this very picture was reflected in the eyes of Jesus, I feel myself shiver. The Bible, no mattei what's one theology or philosophy, here takes on a vitality and moaning beyond the power of conception hitherto. Are the places real? Jerusalem ail Syria, is real, and some of the 'sacred places' are unquestionable. Bui you do not Lave to bo sure that the place is exact, when you listen, with i new emotion, to the words of Jesus, repeated ty the French monk on (lorn; Friday, and ut that "station of the cross" where Christ cried out.

Bays the Baltimore Sun. On the contrary, to put the annual income to the fisherman engaged in the industry at $100,000 would be to underestimate It. This Industry has in recent years sprung up along the Chesapeake bay. At Queenstown, Kent and Eastern Neck Island, near the mouth of the Cheater river, are the principal shipping points for Kent and Queen Anne's counties of the soft crab or the scarcely less appetizing hard crab. During the early season thousands of dozens of soft crabs were shipppd from these points, and, however strange it may appear, the prices were governed largely by the phases of the moon. The sloughing season of the crab is after the dark of the moon, increasing as the moon nears its full. Operated upon hy the unvarying law of supply and demand, as the supply la-la- s, becomes more abundant at the moon'B full prices often drop to lu or 15 cents per dozen, while at other seasons the fancy prices of from tiO to Ktl cents are received. Thousands of dozens were shipped from Keut and Queen Anne's cointles alone, bringing In a handsome g revtnue. methods have entered Into the soft crab fishery and from the tedious hoop-nmethod the soft crab is now dragged for with nets as other fish, and at one haul many dozens are sonieilmea caught.

With favorable conditions and good luck attending a single crablier sometimes winds up a duys work with $15 added to his seasons profits. The trot line is the most picturesque way of capturing this summer delicacy. A line several hundred feet In length has attached at each end a Hooter. At intervals of a few Inches are lines about eighteen Inches or two feet In length, all well baited. The crabber, lying on his stomach in his boat, with net in hand, goes from end to end of his line and at each trip finds a greater or less number of the bail3d lines with crabB on them. canneries hnve been opened and the canned crab is now known as a commodity of commerce In sections where the live crab has never been seen.

The voice issues from a metallic funnel, and may be heard at some distance. The new telephone has other advantages. Sounds transmitted through it lose very little of their intensity by reason of distance. In experiments made between Moscow and Rostof, a distance of eight hundred and seventy miles, speech, songs and music could be clearly heard. A large number of official people were present at the experiments, and the official report was fall of praise of the new telephone.
