If political conditions become defi nitely atahllUed In thla part of tha world. It la not too much to bellev that heavy trains, fired with oil from tha Persian Odd, will thunder along I mile routea which plodding camels marked out when tha world waa young. Already, one may din In Cairo and have luncheon the following day In Jerusalem. The step to Aleppo, Mosul, and llngilad I short and all hut am miles of tha line la now open to traffic. However popular the route through centrul Kuroie along the fa mous Iterllnto Bagdad line becomes, the anfety of the HrllUh empire de mands that the railroad which fol lows the old Una of communication between the valley of the Nile and the valleys of Hie Euphrates and the Tlgrla shall be kept In a state of per fection. There will be no Amiinus or Taurus tunnels on this trail of the modern caravan, and an absence or heavy grades throughout a large part of the right of way will make It pos sible for the hoped-for Cnlro to-Cnl-rutta express in heat the fustesl see route by eeveral day.

Bathing In tho Dead Saa. The Jericho region la supplied with three kinds of water, and this prodl guilty, coupled Willi the historic fame of the Jordan valley, baa furnished a regular formula of bathing for pll grime to this hot depression, nearly a quarter of a mile below tha level of the sea.

Then as night rapidly settles In the deepest wrinkle on the face of Mother Earth, the tired traveler rides between the miserable hovels which coiwtltute modem Jericho nnd (Unmounts at the Sultan's spring, one sweetened by Kllsha.

OHIO Man Fight t lor Lift in War With Inttclt America, more than any other part of the world, Is engaged In a war for Its existence against Insects, the nat ural enemy of man, and their menace I greater than ever before, declared Dr. L. O. Howard, chief of the bureau of entymology, In a startling Inter- view with the American Moguzlne. America 1 especially threatened by Insect, continued Doctor Howard, be cause of It varied climatic condition and large areas of vegetation planted contiguously and affording the best possible feeding grounds for parasite. "Any farmer, or anyone wuo naa a little garden In the suburbs and a few fruit trees ha come to know that he cannot get a perfect or even near per fect crop without protective mechan ical or chemical measures against In fects," added the entymologlst "When one buy fruit, vegetable or cereal product, an Indirect toll Is paid upon the Insect hordes, which want exactly what human beings want and are try ing to crowd n off the earth to feed their fabulously Increasing families. "Some Idea of the extent of Hi cost of Insect I shown from th fact that tvt0,000.00 worth of wire crecnlng la fold annually. Orchard growera of California alone spend $45,000,000 an nually fighting Insects. The bureau of entymology spends about $.1,000,000 a year In field work and scientific Investi gations to determine what strategy to use against the enemies, but thla sum doe not Include special sum to meet emergencies. The total actual cost of the Insect warfare I conservatively $00,000,000 a year. "To put It more clearly, the damage wrought by Insect every year In the United State nullifies tb labor of 1.000,000 men. These material figures do not even touch upon the lost of life caused by the G5 kell-known typer of disease-carrying Insect, which U beyond estimate."
