In arranging his force to meet the enemy, Harpagus suggestâ€" ed that he put the camels he used for transport animals in front of his cavalry. And when they came up to the contest the Lydian horses, terrihed by the sight and smell of the camels, became unmanageable, whilse the horses of Cyrus‘s army, having been brought up with camâ€" els and partly nourished on camel‘s milk, were not afraid, dashed a‘ter the Lydians, and completely routed them. We are foreed to believe, thereâ€" fore, that thero were some horses in Arabia at least 3,500 years B.C. Not only is this certain from the written record, but their represenâ€" tation is preserved by basâ€"reliefs in stone uncovered by Layard when he explored the ruins of Nineveh in the middle of the nineteenth cenâ€" tury. These show horses of the Arabian horso size and type, ridden by men making use of them in a manver such as no horse but an Arab was ever known to stand up to. The ridors are hunting lions, with spears and arrows. It is noâ€" torious to this day that no horse but an Arab has the courage to face a lion or a wild boar. If these wouldâ€"be scientists still clazim the proofs insufficient to esâ€" tablish our contention we turn to the history of Cyrus the Great as written by Xenophon. WIRELESS ‘PHONES S0OON A despatch from London says: The Evening Standard ascribes to William Durtnall, an English engiâ€" neer, an invention which willâ€"posâ€" gibly â€"revolutionize etheric teleâ€" graphy and make the longâ€"distance wireless telephons _ commercially possible. The invention consists of an electric generator capable of producing heavy currents with alâ€" ternating frequency of 3,000 to 10,â€" 00) pericds per second. Both teleâ€" graph and telephone by wireless have hitherto been handicapped by the lack of such generators. A wireless telephone demands curâ€" rents of frequency greatly higher than the frequency of the sound waves produced by speech, while the efficiency of the wireless teleâ€" graph is greatly increased thereby. Hitherto it has been impossible to construct a dynamo of large output which is capable of producing such eurrents. Mr. Durtnall‘s invenâ€" Later, when (Cyrus _ captured Babylonâ€"the night of Belshazzar‘s feastâ€"he celebrated the event by a §rand review of all his army, This as 500 B.C.,., 3,000 years after Semiramis. In that review Xenoâ€" phon tells us Cyrus paraded 120,000 eavalry (more than all the cavalry in Eurogo toâ€"day), besides his chariots drawn by four horses each. This parade was in the heart of ‘Arabia; and the empire ruled by Cyrus extended from the Indus River on the cast to the Red Sea, the Mediterranean and Aegean on the west; from the Black and Casâ€" ian seas on the north to the Indian &esn on the south. an enormous horseâ€"breeding estabâ€" lishment in the plains near Mount Cerone. From this source alono Parius drew 100,000 horses to opâ€" â€"In the days of Darius the Youngâ€" er the Medoâ€"Persian Empire had â€"haidl an army in which were 300,â€" 000 cavalry, with which she invaded India, before she started to build Babylon. Nineveh is perpetuated by the present town of Mosul, built on its site, in the northâ€"eastern part of Arabia, on the Tigris River, and the ruins of Babylon are near Bagdad, on the Euphrates, both these points being in the heart of Arabia. It was the fashion a few years ago to claim that the Arab horse did not exist, excepting as a figâ€" ment of the imagination. Scientists later were compelled to acknowâ€" ledge that there was such a horse, and that he differed from all others even in his anatomy, says Our Dumb Animals. ARMY OF 300,000 CAVALRY These wise people even asserted that the horses we have always callâ€" ed Arabians were never in Arabia until after the beginning of the Christian era, some going from Egypt, others sent from Capadocia, north of the Taurus mountains, on the Black Sea. The fact that no such horses remain either in Lybia or in Capadocia, although they are numerous in Arabia, caused no emâ€" barrassment to these pundits. Had such special pleaders got their Xenophon or Herodotus from the upper shelves of their bookâ€" cases certain embarrassing facts might have caused them to Modify Their Contention. They would have learned that Semiramis, who succecded her husâ€" band, Nimrodâ€"builder of Nizeveh sEMIRAMIS INVYADED INDIA WITH THIS FORCE. Then a claim was put forward that what was called an Arab was really an African horse, originating in Lybia, the country lying between Egypt and Tripoli, on the shores of the Mediterranean. A Written Record of Horses in Arabia at Least 3,500 Years B.C. n it is said, overcomes all these dificulties. It produces currents of high frequency, and also of variâ€" able frequency. The generator consists of a prime alternator, which produces polyphase alternatâ€" ing currents of given frequency and voltage. This frequency and voitage by means of aâ€"series of maâ€" chines working on the same shaftâ€" ing, and known as "transformer generators,‘‘ is stepped up to a lvery high degree without increasing the revolution or speed. The usual mechanical difficulties. which preâ€" sent themselves in the shape of centrifugal â€" forces are thereby avoided . We hear little nowadays of witchâ€" craft in England ; but occasionally cases are reported from abroad, acâ€" cording to the London Mail. In Italy four women were recently condemned to six months imprisonâ€" ment for boystealing and witchâ€" craft,. Bignora Nardella, living at Lesina, was determined that a railâ€" wayâ€" signaiman should marry her only daughter, and decided that the best way to bring this about would be to bewitch him. For this purâ€" pose she paid a couple of women to steal a corpsa from a neighboring cemetery, and this they consigned to Primiana Boffa, who enjoys & great reputation in the locality as a witch. Having selected a samber of bones, she set to work to preâ€" pare a love philtre, grinding the bones to powder in a mortar. Bhe added a quantity of bronze filings which she had commissioned a graveâ€"digger to scrape at midnight from the big bell of the parish church. Bome peasants who chanced to be watching while the incantations were in progress diâ€" {vulged the story to the police. These crudeo cannon have been used with success in & number of instances, and it is astonishing the number of times they may be fired before they burst or become otherâ€" wise disabled. The wood used in the construcâ€" tion of these crude weapons is a very tough variety, having a twistâ€" ed grain that curls about the log in such a way that to split the timber with the ordinary means is almost impossible, The best trees are selected and a piece of the log five or six feet in length and about one foot in diaâ€" meter is cut. After the bark has been removed, and the log made perfectly round, it is swung up on a crude truss, and a hole is burned into it from one end. The log is wound with strips of rawhide cut from the skin of a steer. When the cannon is covered with the strips of hide, another layer is wound on, and this is continued until the weaâ€" pon has increased several inches in diameter. After the log is covered, and the bore is finished, the weapon is treated to a hot draught, which terds to contract the hide binding, which becomes almost as strong as wire. The inventor maintains that it is possible to construct machines of such power that the commercial use of a wireless telephone for a disâ€" tance of several hundred miles will be immediately possible, and will hasten the development of big cenâ€" tres for wireless distribution of corâ€" respondence. Wooden cannon have been used with considerable success, neverâ€" theless, in recent revolutions in Cubsa, in Haiti and in the Dominiâ€" can Republic. P pose the Macedonian invasion, and still pon which Alexander saw in his march through the country. _ v54 Used in Recent Revolutions in Haiti and Cuba. Anyone familiar with the conâ€" struction of modern _ weapons of warfare â€" and the high explosive used in them would naturally supâ€" pose a cannon made of wood would be of little or no value as a weaâ€" And now in our day and country, certain progressive people suggest that though there may have been Arab horses, and they may have been good enough a long time ago, they are not such as would be suited to our moedern conditions and cliâ€" mate. The greater part of such people probably never saw an Arab horse. It would appear safe to claim, therefore, that there were horses in Arabia before they were sent there from Lybia. Is it not more probaâ€" ble that the horses of Lybia were some left in that country by Camâ€" byses, son of Cyrus, who conquered Egypt and Lybia and Ethiopia to add to the possessions left him by Cyrus t The Egyptians had no cavalry, any more than had the Persians unâ€" til the time of (Cyrus. Horses in Egypt came after the time when the shepherd kings were driven out. Four hundred years after the days of Joseph, when Pharaoh pursued the Hebrews who went out with Moses through the Red Sea, we are told that he followed with 600 charâ€" iotsâ€"‘‘all the chariots of Egypt‘"‘â€" according to the Bible statement. Horses were so scarce even then that each Egyptian chariot had only two horses; and all theso were deâ€" stroved in the Red Sea. NEW CANNON OF WOOD. Leit 50,000 In the Pastures, Witchcraft in Italy. On a Sugar Estate in a Province of Southern Russia. A despatch from St. Petersburg says: KEighty girls were burned to death by villagers enraged at the importation of cheap girl labor to work on a sugar estate in the disâ€" trict of Piriatin, in the Province of Poltva, Southern Russia, accordâ€" ing to the Kiev newspaper Kiev Liamin. The exc‘ted villagers first securely fastened all the means of exit from a wooden barn in which the girls were housed. They then set fire to the building while the inâ€" mates were still asleep, and all were burned to death without a chance of escape. Two German Airmen Killed Near Berlin, A despatch from Berlin says : Two German airmen were killed at an early hour on Thursday morning at the Johannisthal Aerodrome, in the suburbs of the capital. Aviaâ€" tor Kraftet, carrying as a passenâ€" ger a. man named Gerbitz, had asâ€" cended with the intention of makâ€" ing a two hours‘ flight. There was practically no wind and the biplane was making good speed, when it suddenly turned somersault at a height of a hundred feot, throwing the aviators to the ground, where they were picked up dead. Use of Cigarettes and Liquor Shows Great Increase. A despatch from Ottawa says : The people of Canada last year smoked 975,325,501 cigarettes, an inâ€" crease of nearly two hundred milâ€" lion over the figures of the previous year, according to figures compiled by the Department of Inland Revâ€" enue. In fact the consumption of tobacco and wet goods has incroasâ€" ed all round. The per capita averâ€" ages are: Spirits, 1.112 gallons, compared with 1.030 last year; beer, 7.005 against 6.598 ; wine, .131 against .114; tobacco, 3.818 pounds against 3.679 pounds. The figures for tobacco include cigarettes. Percentage of the Price Level Durâ€" ing the Decade 1890â€"1899. A despatch from Ottawa says: The Labor Department‘s index number of wholesale prices stood at 137.0 for May, as compared with 136.3 in April, and 136.3 in May, 1912. The numbers are percentages of the price level during the decade 1890â€"1899. The chief advances of the past month occurred in animals and meats, fish, fruits, and vegetables, with _ considerable _ decreases in dairy products and fuel. Westorn grain was upward, but paints and oils were lower. In retail prices, dairy products, fish, sugar, potatocs and coal were lower, while moats and dentals tended upward. Two Children at Montreal Burned to Death. A Gespatch from Montreal says : Matches in the hands oi six and threeâ€"yearâ€"old Joseph and Lucien Larue, of St. Paul Street, caused their deaths and the destruction by fire of their home on Wednesday. Heroic but unavailing efforts were made to save the lives of the chilâ€" dren, but the flames spread so rapâ€" idly that the rescuers were driven from the building. _ The burned bodies of the children were found beneath a bed, where they had eviâ€" dently sought refuge from _ the flames. Two men occupying rooms on the top floor of the building were rescued by firemen. Starts Railway Engine and Causes Loss of Two Lives, A despatch from Buffalo says: A small boy went into the New York Central Railroad roundhouse here on Tuesday night and climbed into the cab of an engine. Ho pulled open the throttle and, as the engine started forward, ho jumped. The locomotive ran wild through the yards at a speed of 45 miles an hour and had covered threeâ€"quarâ€" ters of a mile before it crashed headâ€"on into a freight train runâ€" ning in the opposite direction. The two engines met with terrific force. Engineer Fred Ludeko was almost instantly killed and the fireman, William Freelich, was so badly hurt that he died a short time later. Both engines were badly damaged and many cars were wrecked. Princess Augusta, who will marry the exâ€"King of Portugal. INLAND REVENUE REPORT. LIVING PRICES FOR MAY. PLAYED WITH MATCHES. THE SMALL BOY AGAIN,. TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. BIPLANE UPSET. | coment on events | The way the British byâ€"elections are going would seem to indicate that the As: quith Government is in greater danger of immediate destruction then it has been since its formation. luu{ theories are being f’u" forward to explain the eituaâ€" tion. It is said, for example, that there is a great body of Unionist Free Traders who, in elections, when there is no chance of defeating the Government, voie Unionâ€" ist. but who, in a general election, when there is a chance of electing a Protectionâ€" ist Government, vote Liberal. This does not explain all the recent results and it looks as though the Marconi scandals, inâ€" volving in a very indirect way Mr. Llioyd George, the gran standby of the Liberal party, have been having an effect on the electorate, for the lrish the great quesâ€" tion is whether the Government will hold together until Home Rule has been put into effect as it may be within a year from now. But politics in England have a habit .of changing with such kaleidoscoâ€" ‘pic rapidity that anything may happen in a year The Anglican Church suffers from the division into b:flx and low church parties. Mr. Blake is great champion of the low Churech party. He is the main pillar oft 8t. Paul‘s, of which Archdeacon Cody is the Rector. This is sufficient to 1GeNniâ€" ity u£ Cody with the low Church party, though it is doubtful if he is as extreme as is his patron. Ou the high Church eide the leador is Provost Macklem, the W. W. Ashald, Superintendent of Telegraphs on the G. T. R., died at Montreal. The great outetanding figure in the local Synod is Hon. 8. H. Blake. He speaks on every subject that comes up, always eloâ€" quently, always in the most preciso Engâ€" lish and always to the point. It might be added that he is always partisan. He takes one side of a @uestion and argues it often in an exrtreme manner. Because of this partisanship it is difficult to think of him as a judge, and that may be one of the reasons why he so quickly stepped down from the bench, many years ago, to resume the practice of law. Meiliower this Year. This year, however, it wae noticeable that Mr. Blake, who bas but recontly re covered from a somewhat severe illness, had lost a great deal of the biiterness which sometimes on previous . occasions cropped out. Reporters have general inâ€" structiona to keep a sharp lookout for everything Mr. Blake eays, because ho has through lon{ years built up a reputation of saying things that make good copy. head of Trinity College. Despite rumbâ€" lings, however, the conflict between high and low Church was this year comparâ€" An English visitor who attended some of the sessions of the Prosbyterian Assemâ€" bly and some of the Methodist Conferâ€" ences told me that he was astounded at the uncompromising attitude of these churches, which he considered fairly typâ€" ical of what would be described in Engâ€" land as nonâ€"conformist denominations. He was particularly impressed with the rigidâ€" ity of the views expreesed towards the liquor traffic. He was almost horrified to find that the opinion was expressed and applauded that not merely the manufacâ€" turers and the dispensers of liquor were sinners of the blackest dye, but that the moderate drinker was also denounced. It was regarded as impossible for a man to be a Christian and indulge in liquor in auy degree. ‘To this English visitor this was a novel point of view. Our Religious Convictions. On account of the great number of Church conventions recently Ontario daily papers have resembled Church publications @limost more than secular prints. The Presbyterian Assembly, the Baptist Conâ€" vention, the Anglican Synode, the Mothoâ€" dist Conferences and the Congregational Union all demanded their share of pubâ€" licity, and for a time the sporting page had to look for its laurels as the centre of attraction. atively tame. At the Bynod meotings he said he found a somewhat softer temper. ‘The atmosâ€" phere here was not quite so unrelenting. In fact, delegates, lay and clerical, were frequently to be se@u elipping out of the meeting to enjoy a quiet smoke at the back of the church. absolutely sound, .fl&o is probably no law maker anywhere is not perfectly willing to take whatever: steps are neâ€" cessary without any furore or campaign being made about it. The thing that seems to be most needed is the inculeation into the home of good morale and good sense with frequent iteration of the simple warnini that "who plays with fire is apt to get burnt." However, with many persons discussion of the subject seems to be a mania, and it looks as though a campaign of pubâ€" licity had not yet run its course. Ontario Byeâ€"elasctions. Unusual interest is bein: taken in the byeâ€"elections which are shortly to take place in North Grey and in South Bruce, tha former to elect m representative to the Legislature to replace Honorable A. G. MacKay and the latter to fill the vaâ€" eaney in the HMouse of Commons caused by the elevation of Senator Donnelly. Bouth Bruce is interesting to politicians becaree they think it will give them a line on what rural Ontario thinks about the Naval Issue and North Grey is inâ€" teresting because it is the scene of hisâ€" toric conflicts. Liberals are afraid that the departure of Mr. MacKay will result in a cousiderable weakening of their forces in that riding. The fact that both candidates are Temperance advocates may prevent the "Abolish the Bar" issue from being presented in a clear cut fashion. A considerable furore in literary and political circles bas been caueed by the publication of a volume of letters by the late Professor Goldwin Smith. The vyolâ€" ume is edited by Mr. Arnold Haultain who for many years previous to Mr. Goldâ€" win Smith‘s death acted se private secreâ€" tary, and was by the will appointed litâ€" erary executor. Some time ago Mr. Haulâ€" tain published a volume of Reminiscences which was, however, disappointing because of the trivial character of the work. The present volume is also disappointing to admirers of the late "sage of the Grange," but for a different reason. It is disappointâ€" ing because it seoms to reveal Goldwin Smith as a narrow, bitter partisan who found the times out of joint, who misâ€" trusted most men‘s motives and did not hesitate to attack his contemporaries with bitterness and virulence. j Mr. Haultain declares that these are the letters "of a truly great mar who saw very far and whose solutions of all probâ€" lems were derived from an intellect ilâ€" lumined with ‘lumen siccum‘ which is all too rare," which prompts one reviewer to remark "to congider Goldwin Bmith as a great man, even an eminent man, is to give place to an amiable superstition. On the whole, Goldwin Smith‘s reputation has not been enhanced since his death. It has to be remembered, however, that he made many bitter enemics who have not yet ceased their activities. Exaggerated Stories of Evil. Many newspaper readers must have been Impressed during the past few years with the tremendous amount of stuff which is being printed concerning the groseer forms of vice, particularly that which ie known as the White Slave Traffic. All sorts of organizations have been stirred to take up the subject, all of them no doubt with the best intentions. The testimony of the head of the Police Department in Toronto and of Commieâ€" sioner Starr of the Children‘s Court, who may be mccepted as an unprejudiced obâ€" server, is to the ofl?t that there has not been in yeare in Toronto a single nnâ€" thenticated case of violent coercion being used for the purpose of socuring recruits for this traffic. One may be permitted also to express doubt as to whether so much discussion and newspaper notoriety is the best methâ€" od of fighting this evil. It is a question whether such publicity does not do a great deal of harm. lt is not an iesue upon which the publ ind needs to be #roused:>~ PubMc e matter is absolutely sound, and: e is probably no law maker anywhere 3 is not perfectly I+ may be stated in emphatic terme that a great proportion of the storice which are printed concerning this evil are enâ€" tirely imaginary. There are probably few newspaper editors who have not hbad brought to their Offices manuscript purâ€" porting to relate life incidents in connecâ€" tion with this matter which, without doubt, had their genesis solely in the brain of the writer. From time to time figures are given out concerning the carryâ€" ing off under violence of hundreds of women. May one be permitted to doubt also the authenticity of most of these figâ€" ure«e? Perhaps what is known as the Slave Trafic does exist, but not to the extent which hae been dercribed. Coldwin Smith‘s Letters.
