How many of these vessels which aro now being sold for over ten times their value In normal times would show 75| per cent.’of their origi- nal efficiency?

The wisdom of such work is per- fectly apparent. Better citizens are wanted. Compulsory schooling s re- quired for the children but there are many thousands beyond the school age who need the instruction which they have missed. They need to be taught what our aims and ideals are and the part which they are expected to play in measuring up to the requirements of a good citizen and an extra effort must be made to see that this is done.

This would never do, for it wonld knock about a hundred million of dol- lars annually of excessive charges from the anthracite combine.” High flnance stands for extension and the robbery of the people. The people ought to demand of the party in power a rigid investigation of the whole matter. High finance makes coal costing $2.50 a ton at the mines cost the con- sumer $7.75 a ton; salmon which nets 7 cents a pound at the wharf costs the consumer cents a pound; and it puts upon every necessity which goes to the people about thrice the original cost at the place of production. Along these lines no country has a more oppressive or rottener system than the United States. OBSERVER.

The ex- pedition was bound for Ophir, from which land 420 talents of gold were brought to_ the builder of the great templo of Jerusalem. “The Gulf of Akaba, near the head of which the fortifiled Turkish town is situated, is the long eastern horn of e Red Sea, having a width of from to 17 miles, and jutting up into 12 Arabia for a distance of 100 miles, with |the Sinai Peninsula to the west. In ancient times the gulf was known as Sinus Aelaniticus and was much drended by saiiors on account of the coral reefs and the sudden squalls weeping down from ' the mountains that rise almost perpendicularly from the shore to a height of 3,000 feet at some points. The only good harbor on the gulf is that of Dahab, ‘The Golden Port,’ situated on the western shore 53 miles from the entrance. “A few miles south of the town of Akaba is tho island of Jeziret Firaun. on which are to be seen the ruins of a castle built in Baldwin 1, member of the House | Flanders and the first king of Jeru- salem who assumed the' title after the First Crusade.
