DO NOT APPEAL TO VISITOR
Writer Frankly Expresses Feeling of
Disappointment at Sight of Build
ings Within Kremlin Walls.
To me none of the ten churches with
in the Kremlin walls is Impressive.
Ivan Vt'likl towers the highest, but It
Is far from Imposing, writes Maynurd
Owen Williams in the Christian Her
ald. Prom one side it resembles n tow
er rather than a church, yet it has no
such quiet dljrnity as one finds in the
Kutah Miliar, near Delhi, or the tow
erlug dome of St. Sophia with its
flanking needle minarets. The other
cathedrals are dropped around with
careless abandon and a nice disregard
for the cost of gold leaf, but none of
them dominates a vista or gathors
about itself the other masses In pleas
ing array. The Kremlin is a mighty
whole, composed of many unlmposing
parts. Its long red walls and splendid
gates produce an effect of simple
strength which cannot be found within
their portals.
The Interiors are as disappointing
as are the groups of domes which dis
tinguish the exteriors. None is large,
none is truly intimate. The effect is of
surplus gilt and multiplicity of saints
which remind one of the gopurams of
India. Spindle-shanked saints, whose
emaciated figures seem too weak to
support their gilt haloes, alternate
with knights in armor.
PRIMITIVE WA1S IN ARABIA
Mode of Life Differs Little From
What It Was in the Time of
Abraham.
It appears that in certain parts of
the Arabian desert life is as primitive
as in Abraham's time. Sheep are
still slain to seal a vow. The salt or
bread covenant is observed and when
a man dies his tent is torn down and
destroyed.
Old names like Joseph, Moses, Alex
ander, etc., are still in common use
among Arabs, although pronounced
"Yusuf," "Musa" and "Skandar." To
divorce his wife a man may repeat the
formula "Ent telek" three times; usu
ally uttering It once makes the woman
behave and the repetition is not nec
essary. The evil eye superstition Is
common, and the first injunction giv
en a foreigner by experienced Arabian
travelers is that he must not point at
animals or persons in Arab settle
ments.
Aruus say inni a man possc^u m
thl3 malign power can look at a bird
flying In the air anil it will drop dead:
that if he chooses to cast his wicked
spell on a camel it may go laine, or a
child may be struck blind. None of
the lower class can read or write, but
the Arab Is aoted for his ready wit
and his habit of speaking in allegory.
"Swat the Rat!"
Since the introduction of tlie house
rat In the United States they have
become extremely abundant and widely
distributed throughout the country,
■where they destroy annually many
millions of dollars' worth of food
products and crops. These losses
occur alike in cities, villages and
farmsteads. Their inroads upon f->od
products occur in freight departments
of railroads and steamboat lines, stor
age places of grain and food dealers,
commission houses, wholesale drug
houses, candy shops, bakeries, flour
mills, cold-storago houses, city and
country dwellings, granaries, fields
and poultry yards. The loss of food
and other products in the United
States from this source amounts to
not less than $200,000,000 annually,
which amount does not include indi
rect losses occasioned by human dis
ease disseminated by rats and the
necessary expenditures in combating
them. 5 .:
Honey of the Bible.
It Is Interesting to note that the
wild honey naineil in the Bible may
not have been altogether the stores
packed away by the bee in the hol
lows of trees and between the rocks.
There is n clear, sweet liquid called
honey dew found frequently on leaves
and comes from the aphids, the tiny
"cows" cared for and "milked" by the
ants for their saccharine substance.
There was so much of it on the leaves
of the trees In oriental climes that it
dripped down in considerable quanti
ties to the ground. This must have
been the kind named in the book of
Samuel where it says: "And all they
of the land came to a wood end there
jvas honey upon the ground. And
when the people were come into the
wood behold the honey dropped."

I'VTCHED AT HOSPITAL
AFTER DISLOYAL WORDS
Reading, Pa., Sept. 26.—Sedition
was the basis of charge for the ar
rest of William Haefer, agedj 31,
in this city. The report of thiB
arrest states that Haefer was ar
rested' in a saloon after aying, "I
hope Germany licks America and I
am pro-German because I have
sense.' ' ! •
He is alleged to have torn a
draft registration card from another
man and to have thrown it into
a cuspidor. It is further reported
that in the fight which followed this
act, Haefer was so badly mauled that
he had to be taken to the hospital
to be patched up before being car
ried on to jail.
