NEW LIFE FOR HCLY LANE With Abundant Supply of Water, the Deaert Promises Again to Blot?om Like the Rose. The desert shall rejoice and blossom like the rose/* old Isaiah prophesied. The reclamation of Palestine by the British has at last opened the Holy land to the enterprise of the West, remarks the Journal of the American Hedical Association. Captain Carson of the American Red Cross commission, which followed General Allenby, tells us that the first problem of improvement encountered * - ?? mi i. was that or water suppiy. j.uai pan of Palestine south of Beersheba has been piped with water from the Nile by British engineers with American equipment?the realization, it is said, of a dream thousands of years old. Several million gallons a day are pumped from the canal near Kantara cross the Suez canal into Palestine. At Kantara rapid sand filters are used. The pipes are laid at least eighteen Inches deep in the soil or sand of the desert in.order to protect them and the water from heat. North of Beersheba there is plenty of water under the surface, though very little, owing to the geologic formation and meteorologic conditions of Palestine, remains easily available. On the western slopes, however, the valleys form excellent reservoir sites for collecting the winter rains, though they would often have to be treated to prevent loss by percolation. The problem of the water supply of Jerusalem has been attacked by such ^ noted men as Hezekiah?who constructed a tunnel which is today an almost unexplainable engineering feat? Solomon, Pontius Pilate and Herod. In the spring of 1918 the British, using much of the Roman work, installed a six-inch line from the springs of "Wady-el-Arab, about sixteen miles south of Jerusalem, through which more than 200,000 gallons a day are UV TY UVTTiUg 1UIV C*iV v*vj . It is said that Jerusalem could he furnished with more than 20,000.000 gallons a day of pure water. Almost every house in the city has its rainwater cistern, and these, with proper Inspection by the newly organized health department are being filled with safe water. It is to be expected that the disappearance of the picturesque water venders' of Jerusalem will be accompanied by the passing of the terrible waterborne diseases prevalent under Turkish rule. Seeing Rome From the Air. Ani^rioan tourists may hereafter visIt Roman ruins?the Coliseum, Forum, Pantheon, Caracalla baths and the basilica of Constantine, St. Peter's and other Rome gems, not in antiquated horsedrawn carriages, but in airships. The Italian navy has established a commercial dirigible service for visiting Rome and its environs from the air. The venture has met with complete success, for daily the aircraft are filled to capacity. The correspondent of the Associated Press viewed Rome from the Italian navy's dirigible M-l. On board were Hlnlnmallo ronrocontntiras nf nil thf? Ul^/iVUlUUV w allied countries' to the number -of 34, the capacity of the craft. The United States representative was Colonel Buckey, military attache there. . Those in the party of long residence stated that looking at Rome from the dirigible brought out features of it which went unperceived to the observer on the ground. Get Necessary Knowledge. Most of life's great mistakes are due to insufficient knowledge. In the early days of the great war battles raged on the eastern front. There are the great lakes and marshes. Victory as a rule came to the man who knew the ground best. One of the great generals made it his program to lure his opponents into the lake region and then deliver swift blows In the time of his foes' bewilderment. The difference between grades of mental power is not so great, but it's the training and the knowledge and application that makes the great differences between men. When a man's ready to do his own rough work he isn't likely to have things "put across on him." The tenderfoot has always been a joke among his fellows. He is common bait. Let him show a little aggressiveness and the regulars will respect him more. Blunders he will make, but he will redeem them and himself by his attempts. Twin Brides. The strangest wedding ceremony I ever witnessed was a double wedding of twin sisters. It was not only out of the ordinary but a little uncanny to see the father walking up the aisle of the church with two brides, one on each arm, both dressed exactly alike In white satin trailing robes. They were so much alike that in the excitement of the moment the future husbands could not tell them apart and claimed the wrong brides at the foot of the altar where they stood with the father. The two young women allowed their future husbands to be ' fooled until the preacher asked the j fatal question, and then the mistake was made known, much to the embar- i rassment of the men.?Chicago Trib- } une.
