Red, green and yellow fisme from candles around al- tar Matsv women worshippers in t.'ack on knees on marble pavement. Every so often they touched forehead to pavement. Some carried prayer rugs. Singing by invisible choir of men and women was lovely. June 5 Went to Zion gate and to garbage dump south of city wall. Don- key loads of rubbish being burned there. Arab boy rakes horse manure down hill to use on gardens. He says English good—Jew got money: he want Jerusalem. An Arab school boy conies by. Is excused, sore throat, see doctor. Has Arabic grammar and mod- ern copy book. Has written beauti- fully an English poem in book. Eng- lish schools are doing the work and ere they know it our language will be spoken by the Arabs of Palestine ev- erywhere. Went to southeast corner city wall, 80 feet above, 80 feet below surface; to Virgin’s fountain, only fount of living water near Holy City; .to Pool of Siloam 1200 feet south with a 1700 foot aqueduct running to Foun- j tain. Both intermittent. At fount boy told me water would run at noon. It ran at 11 at Siloam, filled trough 5 feet wide, 40 feet long and run near half an hour a three inch stream. Must have poured out 100 barrels. Went to Well Enßogel. ’Twas there 1440 B. C. on boundary betweenßen- jamin and Judah. Arabs wanted back- shish all along. Worse about it than ! a dozen years ago.* Went up to Top- | het and seated on Olive root wrote letter to Tribune. Makes twoce I've been in hell. Once above Trondhjem in Norway and here. This Hinnom valley, GeHinnom, Gehenna of Greeks is New Testament Hell. It is a great grave yard on hillside. A. D. 70 seige of Titus, they threw 111000 starved Jews’ bodies down there. Dinner American restaurant at 2. June 6 Went to Ophel, site of Da- vid's city, which was Zion. Is south of Temple Area on ridge 130 rods long! by 30 wide. Is all gardens now fer- tilized by city sewage. Got up on city wall over Dung gate and wrote letter. Hot down there. Prickly pear grows on two or three acres inside dung gate up to southwest corner Temple wall and Robinson’s Arch. Came up Kid- ron by' tomb of Absalom and took pic- ture of it. Lot small rocks inside, thrown in by Jews. Wen to American Colony Store. To bed at 7:30. Is dark at 7. June 7 Early breakfast, and to Gethsemane, up middle road to Olivet, north to German church and school buildings dedicated April 1910 by Prince Eitel; used now as Government [buildings; two Arab soldiers at gate. Thilrsty 1 asked German boy for was- ser. He took me to faucet “From Btheleem” he said. Water from Ar- roub 14 miles from city piped to top of Mt. Scopus and along Olivet! In a thousand years the unspeakable Turk would not have done it. Went north half mile to Hebrew University build- ings, quite extensive, now used for government police school. Went south to Place ofAscention, of Queen Helena, which is not the place according to Luke, and to Place of Lan<i ntation where Jesus wept over city, and thru vast Hebrew Cemetery to Jerico Road over Via Dolorosa to my room, i June 8 Eggs, bacon, bread and tea 48 cents for breakfast. Met a Mr. Davis of U. S. A., owner of a Chau- tauqua outfit going around world. Is at my hotel. We did Gen. Gordon’s , Calvary and Garden Tomb together, j Saw Skull Hill in face of 50 foot ele- ivation. The garden, and tomb, be- ! lieved to be that of Joseph of Arima- Ithea are owned by an English lady land given to the world. An increas- t ing number of Bible scholars feel cer- tain that this hill and the toinb in the garden were the scene of the Cruci- , fixion, burial ami resussection of Ju sus. It is quiet and peaceful there and the New Testament narrative de-! scribes it exactly, “near to city; there! was a garden and in it a new' tomb,’’ j It was near Golgotha the place of a skull. There are two cavities in the rock resembling eye sockets and an oval hill above, and anciently the place was used as “the place of stoning” by the Jews for blasphemy. St. Stephen was stoned to death close by, and in Roman times executions took place there. Saw quarantine o%eer. Went to Y. M. C. A. in afternoon. June 9 P.M. Went to Temple Area with some English ladies from Hnifa : and an American Colony boy for guide. Could not enter Temple Area. Friday ' is Mohammedan Sabbath. Got two ' dozen post cards for 15 cents per doz- en at American Colony, the only place whore they don't play the huld-un game. The boy guide would not take • the half dollar I offered him. YV ent to Temple Area with Mr. Davis; to Dome of Rock, and un- der it, to Dome of the Chain, the little dome close by used as Model of big' dome often called Mosk of Omar. Then to Mosk Elaksa and studied all forenoon that 35 acre Temple area hut did not find way into stables under, southeast corner. Got rock from area! where Paul was assaulted by Jews at time he made memorable speech to them from steps of Citadel. YVhat historic events flit across the memory j of the student who sits here and drinks ! in for hours events which have taken 1 place on this area. The whole history! of the world is changed because of' what has happened here. All three i Jewish temples stood where stands the 1 Dome of the Rock, and there the cli-! max of all moral and religious leach-! ing took ph.ee when Jesus of Nazar-; eth the last week of hi* life gave to ‘ humanity that grandest moral precept of all sages of all the ages “Thou shalt love the Lord they God with all ,thy heart and mind and soul and thy .neighbor as thyself.” In afternoon Mr. Davis and I went to Bethlahem, iin a Ford car, Arab driven, 25 cents each, but we each paid 37 cents so as not to have Arab with os in back seat, i YVent over same route as wise men on; that eventful first Christmas night,! but a mighty sight faster. Arab had two cronies and didn’t mind his busi- ness. Went it, 6 miles 17 minutes, narrow crooked road. Walked back in! edge of evening; lovelv walk, and a darned sight ia'er.. Saw church of >iau.,._;y. Stooped to enter. Went to t* SUaNart tomb. Saw littla room whar* be translated Hebrew Old, and New Testaments into Latin Vui- I gate version used by gfeat Catholic church today. Saw Lady Paula’s tomb and that of her daughter, help- ers of Jerome. Went where could see far mof Boaz where Ruth gleaned. Ruth was a little bit forward in the light of present day teaching but she became ancestress of three great kings, David,Solomon and Jesus Christ and was justified in her love-making with Boaz. She was also good to her mother-in-law. Her life story forms a beautiful idyl. Sunday, June 11 Wrote in a. m. At three went to American Colonyafter invitation to take tea there. Were holding devotional exercises when I entered. A fine well dressed, cultured communistic colony of 120. They agree to live there as Jesus would have them live and I think they do it. Bro- ther Dinsmore of Maine, a colonist, many years, read Luke, 24th chapter, very, very slowly. It was very appro- priate and the location of the burial and resurrection only 10 minutes walk away. They chanted the Lord's pray- er and then gathered in groups for social intercourse. Then tea and cake were served, lovely lunch; tested ala American. I wept to their dairy of 15 cows. They have contagious abortion and have used modern serum to pre- vent it. They had foot and mouth dis- ease last year and got rid of it, but it killed their little pigs. They have 100 pigs and hogs, a lot of Belgian hares, and big chicken house. Their two acre garden looks good. Had fine chat with Nebraska, Kansas, Wiscon- sin Swedish and Arab brothers and with Maine man and daughter. An old Arab came in to chat. They gain- ed respect of Mortem®, who put Grace Spafford at head of great Moslem girl’s school of 1000 girls. June 12 At four went into Solo- mon’s Quarries with nice young guide from American Colony. Got two can- dles at gate of old Arab. Went down, down, down under city. Guide says rock has been taken out to build three cities like Jerusalem, architects tell them. Are great rooms at left and right. He says can walk a mile and a half in that quarry. Overhead see blocks hanging high up. Are domed rooms. It runs way down from east of Damascus Gate to under Temple Area and there was passage down there so great rocks could be rolled down hill into great wall. Candles both went out. But guide had a box of matches in pocket. They cut groov- es in rock with chisels then drove in wood wedges and wet them. Hrewing was done down there. Chips are there today. I got one from room where free Masons meet there,to bring home; hope to give it to Viroqua Temple to hit with gavel. It is soft chalky stone. I can cut and trim it with knife. Had better do it, postage is nearly 50 cents a pound.. Government makes mails and railways pay. 52 miles to Jaffa; $5.20 Ist class fare. I’ll ride Arab 3d for 4*4 cents. Guide to quarries wouldn’t take a cent. I gave colony store a dollar to get even with him. Jerusalem. C. V. P. A Wanderer’s Diary June 13 Afternoon. Went to Y. M. C. A. rooms. Got Literary Digest and Egyptian papers and lot of U. S. Magazines. Had nice lunch there at 6 for G piastres. Weather ideal here. Wrote Capt. Butters card and went to “Jerusalem War Cemetery” north of city on slope of Mt.Scopus with lovely view of old and new city. 1380 Brit- ish soldiers buried there, all killed or wounded in battles here. Nice Arab gardens from Cairo will have charge of it. June 14 They have sown alfalfa over graves and it keeps green and has abundant blue flowers. Have 5 1 rows of small pines planted on three sides. Along front will have low hedge of fragrant geranium. Nearly all the j graves are marked by wood crosses. Bethlehem water will be piped there soon. YVent on south toward Olivet to Maahadi House, an English mansion behind which is corner stone of Jew- ish University to be with small found- i ation for cistern. It overlooks the i Jordan, Dead Sea, and hills of Moab, 1 Mt.Nebo etc. June 15 Went to Greek consul and paid $lO for visa to enter Greece. Had fine chat with secretary; told him his little nation was only one paying inter- est on war debt to U. S. A. Got 1 meter of toweling and did up stones from Sol’s quarry and from southeast corner Temple Wall. 2 kilos wieght, I postage $1.42. Went to see the mod-' els of the Temples by Dr. Schick, great l German authority now dead. Paid 50, cents to hear lecture. Went with a New Hampshire lady from Ramallah, j ten miles away where is a Friends’ or j Quaker school and Mission founded by ! Maine Quakers. Her mother was a Whittier, relative of the poet. With her was a very lovely young Syrian | girl dressed modestly and up-to-date, who could answer questions about the Tabernacle and Temple These Amer- ican Missions and Mission Schools are worth all they cost. Spent evening at Y. M. C. A. My guide to the quarries took me thru the Moslem quarter and asked if I had eaten any Moslem sweets. He declared the Moslems were cleanest in preparation of food and \ bought for me some of their sweet ! food which is delicious. He told me ! of the green figs which I find very nice ! The apricots, like little peaches, are sweet and good. June 16 Wrote in A. M. Paid rent four days, 1 pound Egyptian; cost me $4.42. Went to Y. M. C. A. rooms; read American news; had tea there. Has 800 members in Jaffa and Jerusa- lem and is supported by Christians, Jews and Moslems, who all come here j to read and play billiards, crichet etc. | June 17 YVent with H. H. Davis to j Passport office to get visa to leave Pal- estine. Another d—d holdup of $1.25. j Hope Joe Beck gets some legislation through for the benefit of the poor tourist in a foreign land. It is not the 25 piastres we paid but the fun of hunting out o passport office and standing in line tw’o hours among a lot of natives that sours one. It is worse than Russia ever had it before the war; a passport full of visas cost | t!, en perhaps $5 to get in and all over ;nd out of Russia. I’ve got $47 in- vested in my passport and expect to, | put $23 more into it. So far it has cost over m per cent of my money .spent. Ui.e’e Sam sets the price and other nations retaliated. “Kecipros- ■ity. retali to tion” the Greek consul’s secretary told me. Went to Y. M. C. 1 ;A- and read proceedings of the Pro- • Jerusalem society; object to clean and preserve city's antiquities and, outside,' build properly on streets laid out well ] with parks trees, etc, where needed. They are dmr a lot for the better- ment of the citv. ; Sunday, June 58 Chimed bells sounded beautifully. Went to Mosk at area and could not find man to ad- ■lj us Solomon's stables. They i had mats and carpets of great mosque (spread out on stone pavement south ; 2'aa Temple Area where Solomon's ,00 wives used to scrap with one an- other. Wonder where the other 300 I women were housed. P. M. went with !H. H. Davis to American colony. Ar- 'ed just after they had concluded toeir Sunday service*. This colony y tfic front during the grout war. They fed at times two or three .thousand refugees. “How did you do it,” I asked a splendid old man, Mr. Myers of Nebraska. “We borrowed money on the U. S.. It had to be sent to England; thence to Neutral Swit- zerland acting for Germany; thence to Germany, and by her to Turkey. A dollar at first netted us 50 cents; later only 14 cents paid in Turkish money. No outside products could come into Palestine; we made barley coffee. Made a syrup from the carob pod the Prodigal Son lived upon. It is 50 per cent syrup; with that syrup we made ginger cakes or cookies and good ones. We could buy Turkish ( wheat because we were nursing their wounded soldiers, and paid for it in their money. . The Russians had to' leave and we bought their brood sows; we raised 150 pigs. The army had vast stores of bread; the army all went past our houpse, night and day for weeks. The rainy season came, their bread got wet, was stored close by, condemned as food, and we bought it for $1 a ton for our pigs, sorted it, found much was good, baked it and fed it to the starving people with a soup made of a large bean we could buy cheaply. The pigs thrived on the mouldy bread; we could eat the pigs. Jews and Moslems wanted no pork, 1 bu tthe Germans did; they ordered us deported. The Turk let us remain be- cause we were nursing their soldiers;' 40 colony men and women acted as nurses. It seemed as if the hand of 1 Divine Providence was guiding us ali the way through.” A male quintette came into the lovely audience room which was built by a former Moslem ' Mayor of Jerusalem who had two wives, and they sang Kipling’s Battle Hymn and other selections. Mrs. Spafford, widow* of the founder of the colony, over 80 years old is sick and a large choir had, just before been singing beautifully in her apartment.' Mrs. Vaster, her daughter, and hus- hand landed in Boston recently. Grace Spafford, who a dozen years ago was head of the great Moslem school of 1000 girls is now wife of John D. Whitney, familiar to the Christian. Herald readers. I’ve just given you a glimpse of this communistic colony of. 120 souls who come here to work to-' gether and to “live as He would have us live” as the dear old woman told us in 1912. June 19 Mr. Da*, is left for Port Said and Marseille. I get ready to go to Alexandria tomorrow. Get 5 pounds ' English money changed to Egyptian ’ money; mail letters. Left Rome just 31 days ago. Spent in that month' $157. Expect to spend S3O more to land in Greece. Between $5 and $6 a 1 day; average daily expense, 69 days since I left Viroqua' only $5.52. Not bad. Personally conducted sl2 to sls a day, and stop in places very short j time. “Make haste slowly in travel-' ing” dear old Gen. Rogers told me and , he was right. I tear myself awayj from Jhe Ijoly places, the dirty Arabs and stinking alleys of Jerusalem with profound sadness, and turn toward the great center of culture on the ae- ropolis. Deck passage $9. 2d $54; 2 days on the blue Mediterranean and land at Piraeus port of Athens. June 19, Jerusalem. C. V. P. RULES IN CASE OF FIRE Crawl on the floor. The clearest air is the lowest in the room. Cover ' head with woolen wrap, wet if possi- ble. Cut holes for the eyes. Don’t get excited. | Familiarize yourself with the loca- l tion of hall windows and natural es- capes. Learn the location of exits to roofs of adjoining buildings. Learn ! the position of stairways, particularly ‘ the top landing and scuttle to the roof. Should you hear cry of “fire”, and col- umns of smoke fill the rooms, above all, keep cool .Keep the doors of rooms 3hut. Open windows from the top. j Wet a towel, stuff it in the mouth, breathe throughit instead of the nose, so as not to inhale smoke. Stand at a window and get benefit of outside air. If room fills with smoke keep close to floor and crawl along by the wall to the window. * Do not jump unless the blaze behind is scorching you. Do not even then |if the firemen with scaling ladders are coming up the building or are near Never go to the roof, unless as a last resort and you know there is escape from it to adjoining buildings. In big buildings fire always goes to the top. Do not jump through flame within a a building without first covering head I with a blanket or heavy clothing and guaging the distance. Don’t get ex-, ! cited; try to recall the means of exit, i and if any firemen are in sight don’t jump. j If the doors of each apartment, es- j pecially in the lower part of the house, ! were closed every night before the oc- cupants retired, there would not be such a rapid spread of flames. The above rules and warnings were compiled for The World Almanac by a body of insurance experts. ■a .4ft "V i Slat’ s lyi ■ -.-'.'A By ROSS FARQUHAR Friday —lf pa woodent of got to tawking this evening wile we had Cos. visiting us he probly woodent of made any brakes by his Conversation.

It is quiet and peaceful thereand the New Testament narrative de-!scribes it exactly, “near to city; there!was a garden and in it a new' tomb,’’ jIt was near Golgotha the place of askull. There are two cavities in therock resembling eye sockets and anoval hill above, and anciently the placewas used as “the place of stoning” bythe Jews for blasphemy. St.Stephenwas stoned to death close by, and inRoman times executions took placethere. Saw quarantine o%eer. Wentto Y. M. C. A. in afternoon.
June 9 P.M. Went to Temple Areawith some English ladies from Hnifa :and an American Colony boy for guide.Could not enter Temple Area. Friday 'is Mohammedan Sabbath.

Got rock from area!where Paul was assaulted by Jews attime he made memorable speech tothem from steps of Citadel. YVhathistoric events flit across the memory jof the student who sits here and drinks !in for hours events which have taken 1place on this area. The whole history!of the world is changed because of'what has happened here. All three iJewish temples stood where stands the 1Dome of the Rock, and there the cli-!max of all moral and religious leach-!ing took ph.ee when Jesus of Nazar-;eth the last week of hi* life gave to ‘humanity that grandest moral preceptof all sages of all the ages “Thoushalt love the Lord they God with all
,thy heart and mind and soul and thy.neighbor as thyself.” In afternoonMr. Davis and I went to Bethlahem,iin a Ford car, Arab driven, 25 centseach, but we each paid 37 cents so asnot to have Arab with os in back seat, iYVent over same route as wise men on;that eventful first Christmas night,!but a mighty sight faster. Arab hadtwo cronies and didn’t mind his busi-ness. Went it, 6 miles 17 minutes,narrow crooked road. Walked back in!edge of evening; lovelv walk, and adarned sight ia'er.. Saw church of>iau.,._;y.

Went where could seefar mof Boaz where Ruth gleaned.Ruth was a little bit forward in thelight of present day teaching but shebecame ancestress of three greatkings, David,Solomon and Jesus Christand was justified in her love-makingwith Boaz. She was also good to hermother-in-law. Her life story forms abeautiful idyl.

Another d—d holdup of $1.25. jHope Joe Beck gets some legislationthrough for the benefit of the poortourist in a foreign land. It is notthe 25 piastres we paid but the fun ofhunting out o passport office andstanding in line tw’o hours among alot of natives that sours one. It isworse than Russia ever had it beforethe war; a passport full of visas cost
| t!, en perhaps $5 to get in and all over;nd out of Russia. I’ve got $47 in-vested in my passport and expect to,

i had mats and carpets of great mosque(spread out on stone pavement south; 2'aa .
Temple Area where Solomon's,00 wives used to scrap with one an-other. Wonder where the other 300I women were housed. P. M. went with!H. H. Davis to American colony. Ar-'ed just after they had concludedtoeir Sunday service*. This colonyy tfic front during the groutwar. They fed at times two or three.thousand refugees. “How did you do
it,” I asked a splendid old man, Mr.Myers of Nebraska. “We borrowedmoney on the U. S.. It had to be sentto England; thence to Neutral Swit-zerland acting for Germany; thenceto Germany, and by her to Turkey.A dollar at first netted us 50 cents;later only 14 cents paid in Turkishmoney. No outside products couldcome into Palestine; we made barleycoffee. Made a syrup from the carobpod the Prodigal Son lived upon. Itis 50 per cent syrup; with that syrupwe made ginger cakes or cookies andgood ones. We could buy Turkish (wheat because we were nursing theirwounded soldiers, and paid for it intheir money. . The Russians had to'leave and we bought their brood sows;we raised 150 pigs. The army hadvast stores of bread; the army allwent past our houpse, night and dayfor weeks. The rainy season came,their bread got wet, was stored closeby, condemned as food, and we boughtit for $1 a ton for our pigs, sorted it,found much was good, baked it andfed it to the starving people with asoup made of a large bean we couldbuy cheaply. The pigs thrived on themouldy bread; we could eat the pigs.Jews and Moslems wanted no pork, 1bu tthe Germans did; they ordered usdeported. The Turk let us remain be-cause we were nursing their soldiers;'40 colony men and women acted asnurses. It seemed as if the hand of
1Divine Providence was guiding us alithe way through.” A male quintettecame into the lovely audience roomwhich was built by a former Moslem 'Mayor of Jerusalem who had twowives, and they sang Kipling’s BattleHymn and other selections. Mrs.Spafford, widow* of the founder of thecolony, over 80 years old is sick anda large choir had, just before beensinging beautifully in her apartment.'Mrs. Vaster, her daughter, and hus-hand landed in Boston recently.
