ARAB SEES BEAUTY - IN DESERT WASTES

Luxury. World Offers Has No Attraction for Him.

~ The traveler in Arabia is impressed first with the desolation of the landscape, says Paul W. Harrison in “The Arab at Home.” The desert, which is the real home of the Arab, includes practically the whole of the peninsiila except the two southern corners and the western’ edges where :low mountaln ranges take its place. It is for the most part a plateau rising to a height of some 125 feet above the sea and more than that In its western part. It is not a uniform expanse of sand, as popular imagination pictures it. By far the greater part is rocky, and there is a certain amount of good arable soil. The feature that distinguishes the desert and gives it its particular characteristics is its aridity. During ' the winter and spring there may be as much as three to six inches of rainfall. For the remainder of the year there is none. The rocky plains stretch from horizon to horizon, Sometimes the landscape is dead flat; sometimes rolling, as in our western prairies in the vicinity of a great river. For some hours the traveler from the Hasa oasis near the Persian gulf coast to Riyadh In inland Arabia passes over a great ‘rocky plain which is.quite black: From ‘a distance the imagination pictures it as an immense asphalt roof covering some inferno of heat underneath, but -once reached it is found so solid that it seems rather as if the very framework of the earth has been upheaved to view. The crevices and irregularities are filled with yellow sand which at times almost obliterates the black foundation undermeath. . . . ~ Certain parts of the desert are vast expanses of sand, quite according to the popular imagination. "It is a yellowish, 'cream-colored sand, and it drifts into great dunes, fifty feet high or more. » And there are people who live in that desert, not travelers only, but permanent residents. They live there not merely during the spring when there is a little raip, but the year "around. How can men live in a country like that? The well is the answer. The #dittle green vegetation to be seen in the spring when the meager rains come soon dries down, and the inexperienced eye of the stranger would scarcely find fit. Nevertheless, it is sufficient for goats and camels and perhaps sheep to grage upon if wells can be found in addition where they can be watered every evening. So it happens that the most precious things in “ Arabia are the wells, Caravan routes may be crooked, but the reason }s never far to seek, . . . Itis the well that is the essential thing. Wherever water can be secured, there men can live. It is not such a life as would be popular in Ameriea, but men live, and women live, amd children live there, and love their desert with an anparalleled devotiom., Transplanted ‘to a. real garden spet of the earth, they weep for a glimpse of. their beloved desert. . ; The love of the desert is a very deep and a very beautiful thing. For political purposes one of these.desert chiefs was urged to give up his residence in the open and arid desert and come to live in the town. The greater comfort and luxury te be found in the town were pointéd out to him as contrasted with the hardships and lonellness of the desert; but the old chief did not see it that way. " “In the town,” he said, “I have no doubt that I shall find all the things which you describe, but out here in the desert I have my family and my goats, great distances and God.” .. S o

< Misjudged The Marquis Henel de la Falaise, Gloria Swanson’s husband, has opened a bookshop in New York. His popularity has increased im consequence. M. de la Falaise, discussing this increase in popularity, sald the other deay: : Sl “When a titled forelgner marries an American girl with money the worst motives are imputed to him. It's like the little story: ‘ “:Sir; a young baron said' to a Broadway banker, ‘I have called to ask if you will giwe assent to my marriage—" ~ ' “‘Not a cent! Boy, show this young man out.!” = b

Muscular Prodigy

There are very many casés on reéord of infant prodigies, children who could play-the plano at three, preach sermons at five, or dellver lectures on scientific subjects at seven. But cases of very early muscular development are much rarer. Russia has a wonder child born at Vladivostok six years ago, who has already the size and muscular strength of a full-grown man. He has a deep bass voice and a full-grown mustache and beard. In mind, however, he is still a child. There is a similar ease recorded in English medical annals, - 7

A “Miracle”

People in Alsace, believing that a miracle has taken place, have begun pligrimages to a girl’s grave, which, when opened recently, was found to contain pnly a handful of pearls and. & rosary. An inquiry began immediately, and it was ascertained that the coffin, which had mot been tampered with, was nailed down by a workman in the presence of an undertaker. A number of people recall the saintly life of the girl, which strengthens the prevalent bellef that a miracle has heppeled, . . 0 o = ~ Foster's Community Sale Thursday April Bth. Commencing aj noon.
