The number, variety and excellence of the pictures shown and the vivid and interesting and thrilling descriptions of Arab and Mohammedan life and customs kept the interest- of the audience till the close, Starting at Tunis, which Mr. John- son described as “one of the most beautiful and most interesting oriental cities in the world,” with houses all flat-roofed and creamy white in color, minarets mpointing heavenward from every square. the thrice a day prayer “Allah is Allah, there is' no God like Allah,” he led the people through her streets and market places, by mosques and cemeteries and sacred tombs. along aqueducts built 2,000 years ago to bring drinking water over 120 miles. past groups of veiled women in streets, under the iron-barred win- dow where the bey or sultan appears three times a week to throw coins to the poor and even giving a glimpse of the interior of a harem, rare pictures secured at great risk and cost While en route on this queer jour- ney the lecturer gave many interesting descriptions of choice bits of scenes and several little stories to illustrate origin of the customs of veiling of women, burial of the dead, religious ceremonials and rites, ete.

At Kairowan, Mr. Johnson was priv- ileged to visit the interior of one of the mosques and to watch the full progress of a religious rige which takes place every Friday afternocon through- out the vear. Here the Peligious fren- zv is carried so far that the devotees even swallow scorpions, snakes and glass, and allow themseélves to he pierced with rapiers or swords. The description was most realistic and the audience, was intensely interested in every word. - Other ancient cities visited were El-Djen, a Roman town of over one million inhabitants in the second cen- tury; Gabes, one of the largest oases in northern Africa; Gafsa, a very rich town on account of its greal phos- phate mines; Matmata, the home of the Troglodytes. This peculiar peo- ple ape cave dwellers., who live in great holes in the earth, in order to be cool in summer and in winter free from the winds. At some very ancient time these people dwelt in caves on the tops of the hills, but have since gone down in the valleys and built their homes in caves around one great hole in the ground, which/is approach- ed by tunnels from some distance. From &0 to 130 people live in one of these holes in the earth and there ave about 5,000 inhabitants in the chief town. The lecture closed with niany very interesting views of the ahari desert, with great stretches of sand. large caravans of groups of Bedouin wanderers, some with 400,000 palm trees and covering an area of 2,500 acres.
