W. J. MITCHELL. Editor. and Proprietor, NOTES AND COIVINII..iNT5 The uprising in Arabia against blie ' Ottoman rule which has been reported from Caircmis not unexpected. The dissatisfadion of the Arabs, variously manifested on several occasions eince thmestablistanent of the .Young Turk regime, has been growing, and there has recently been reported great ac- tivity of British, and Russian agents among some ot the more powerful Arabian tribes. Otteinan rulers have bad reason ever sifice„the wane of their •pewee to mistrust, theeloyelty,of the pe,opee of the desert to -the Melilla.' The Arabs have never 'looked upon the Turks as the true guaiteians of Fs - lam Or the Sultans. at Constantino- ple as the head' of Mohammedanism. Mecca to then -ewes the heart of the Moslem world, and the restoration of the caliphate to this holy eitylias been their great ambition , It is thus but nabural -that the Arabs should take advantage of the pres- ent war to throw off an allegiance that they have hated and to seek their independence.. There is no hope for them in a Getman power •cooperating with the Tittles; but there is a chance for the restoration of temporal pow- ee in the success, of Russia and Great Britain, the two Governments under which lives the greatest lefoslein popu, lation of the, world. There is, of course, no proof that either of these nations has made any overtures. But at the same time it is evident that in their present campaigns on the Eup- hrates and M Asia Minor bhe Russiant and the British collibl hope for -no greater assistance than the active aid of the Arabs against their enemy. Against the success ef the revolt is the afet that the Turks, who must have been aware of the disaffection, are able to send. against the reeoba- tionaries a considerable army and also tlitt the Arabs have so long been torn by internal tribal strifes that united action new seems difficult to secure. But a revolubion that may invelve a million warlike people with a motive both temporal and -epiritunl injects a new and startling element into the world war. An American'photographer who has been engaged in taking pictures of the European armies in action has nor ed an interesting exception to the well-known rule that seasoned soldiers pay little attention to the sights and sounds of battle which civilians find so impressive. "Everywhere one .goes," he remarks, "there is the roar of artil- lery. The men in the trenches get used teethe firing and pay no atten- tion. Every clear day, too, the air 10 full of aeroplanes. Battles in, the air are a daily occurrence, but every one still looks up to watch the flyers battling." The time may come, of COUTSO, when the ratble of maehine guns in the sky will receive from seasoned soldiers no more attention than they give to the fire of artillery to which they are not I destructively exposed. But that ad- justment of the nervous system has not yet come. The aircraft is still the Cleopatra of war, from whom the unexpected is expected. To the most seasoned solchers age has not with- ered, nor custom staled, her infinite variety." Fur From Black Apes.

I had some interesting experiences durieg flsy gay in Berlin in the Way of superintending dinners .end ban- quets at private houses for which we did the catering. I have looked after banquets given by Gen. von Hinden- burg; Prince von Buelow; Dr. Beth, mann-Ilollweg, Count Zeppelin, the King of Wurtemberg, and many others. • Von Hindenburg had a villa about a mite outside Berlin udiere lie gave some very elaborate and Misty din- ners, but he never had more than half a dozen guests present. The great German general is a notorious gour- met, and he would pay very large sume to secure the rate and aostly dishes for which his dinner parties were celebrated. One of the walls of the general's dining -room bore Autographed photo- graphs of many reigning monarchs in Europe. He secured the autograph- ed pictures of King George arid the Czar from the Kaiser.and had them enlarged. The dining -room was fur- nished with very heavy black oak, the Walls Were papered in a. rich dark crimson, and on the Oak floor were strewn costly teptestry . rugs. One wall Was covered almost com- pletely by an immense oil painting representing the Israelites leaving Egypt. The picture was the .work of aFnleecrish ertist, and had been pum nha by Von Hind,eitburg at a sale in Paris after .the War' of 1810 for about $125—somethingI about a hun- dredth part of its preSent value.

The method is clue to Prof. ,,Luis Agote, an Argenthee surgeon, and successful experiments have been made before the rector of the Sor- bonne, the 'dean of the faculty of medicine, and several professors and doctors. Blood is taken from the bend of the elbow of any eubject willing to lend his aid and collected in a recep- tacle 'which contains a solution of neutral citrate of sora, prepared in the proportion 'of one gram of salt for 100 grammes of blood. This mixture prevents the blood from coagulating without. distroying its vital properties, and as the citrate employed is inoffensive to the organ- ism it can be injected into the fore- arm without danger, thus obviating the chief drawbacks to the transfu- sion as generally practiced. The receptacle for the. blood drawn is in graduated glass with double tub- ing and has a large enough opening to allow the blood to fall directly into it. The end is pointed to allow the tube for injection to collect the maxi- mum of blood without allowing air to enter. From three to five grams of solution are placed in it, being a suf- ficient quantity for 300 grams of blood. " MUNITION MAKERS SUFFER Handling of Explosives Gives Rise to Diseases.

SIGHT FOR-VIREE MONTHS Operation Will Enable Blind Soldier to See tor -Short Time'Only. An Australian soldier, blinded in the war, has been told by his doctors that they can perform an operation which will restore his sight, but that the effects or the operation cannot last mote than three months, when he will become totally blind for life, says Lorelon Opinion. The soldiet is hav- ing the operation performed, and meantime he has mapped out every hour of the three months during , which he is to enjoy his sight. There are certain relatives and friends in Australia he has Waimea to see, aleo certain places chiefly associate with his boyhood days.

And yet it is sufficient to relate the story of German pota- !toes briefly and chronologically as ifollows: 1 "November, 1914—Complaints about 'the scarcity and high prices of pota- toes compels the Government to fix , the maximum prices in all the empire for growers. "Winter, 1914-15—Potatoes disap- pear from the markets. The Social- ists blame speculators, agrarians blame unfavorable weather and trans- port difficulties, the people suspect the p,otatoes are being devoured by pigs. '"January -February, 1915 — The slaughter of pigs is ordered and as a result the prices of pork rise by 70 per cent. Yet potatoes are still scarve in the western industrial cities and Berlin. Potatoes are 'sold by the municipalities in small quantities. Prof. Balled announces that the pota- to crop was only 43,000,000 tons, in- stead of 52,000,000 as in former years. "March -April, -1915—The Govern- ment decrees that potatoes should be censused and enforces distribution. ."May -June — Sensational develop- ments. • The agrarians, reitlizing that the prices of potatoes will not in- crease and fearing that the stocks they hoarded will deteriorate, dump them on the market. The newspapers urge the consumption of potatoes, especial- ly as prices are low and 511 is an- nounced that the crop yielded 55,- 000,000 tons. . "July, 1915—The inhabitants of Berlin whose houses are close to the railroad stations eomplain to the Hy- giene Office about the pestilential odor from stacks of potatoes allowed to rot in the station. yards. Potatoes Sold at Loss. "August, Ma—Accounts of the Government's administration of pota- toes are published and reveal that the Government purchased 24,000,000 hun- dred weights of potatoes, sold only about 4,000,000 to the municipalities and was forced to get rid of the re- maining 20,000,000 by selling them at a loss to distilleries. • " September, 1915—Potatoes again ,scarce. At Marburg farmers refuse to sell, but decide to wait for spring. " October, 1915—Farmers who have more than ten acres of land under potato cultivation are ordered to keep 20 per cent. of their crops at the dis- posal of the Government. • " Winter, 1915-16, and spring, 1915 —Impossibility to get potatoes at the prices fixed by the Government and impossibility on the part of the Gov- ernment to compel the faimers to sell the potatoes they are htfarding." Prof. Einemodi concludes his tragi - DESERTS Discovers Copper Coins and Wooden Books Along Routes of Ages Ago. Sir Aurel Stein, who has just re- turned to England on the conclusion of a two and a half years' journey through Central Asia, undertaken by order of the Government of India, says the London Express, made some fas- cinating discoveries in Eastern Turk- estan, westernmost China, the Pamirs, Russian Turgestan and along the Perso-Afghan border. After crossing the Chinese Turkes- tan, Sir Aurel Stein made his way as rapidly astpossible toward the desert found the dried-up Lop Nor, visiting on his way a sand -buried ofd site in the Taklamakan desert. Finds Ancient Orchard Among the discoveries at this des- ert site was a large ancient orchard, still showing with uncanny clearness the elaborate arrangement of fruit trees and vines carried over trellis, all dead. The settlement had been abandoned close to seventeen hun- dred years ago, and the river which once carried water to it now loses: itself in the sand. Perhaps the most important dis- covery was the tracing of the ancient route of the Chinese, and of the numerous ruins along that part of it which lay through a dried-up delta. it was by this route that the Chinese, 10 the second century after Christ, conveyed all their silk to Central Asia and the far off Mediterranean. The numerous pieces of exquisite Chinese silks and brocades found in the cemeteries will open up a new chapter in the history of textile art. Old Caravan Route In that part of the desert which was waterlesitin ancient times for a distance of some 150 miles he was able with accuracy to track the route of the ancient caravans by finds of coins and other small objects acci- dentally dropped. In one place the direction in which a convoy had moved was clearly marked by hun- dreds of copper coins strewing the salt encrueted ground, which had re- mained untouched for at least sixteen hundred.- years. The Huns Of Old During another portion of his travels Sir Aurel explored for a dis- tance of 250 miles a further section of the armed fortified border line by which the Chinese had endeavored to protect their westernmost marshes in Kansu against ancient Hun raids, From the ruins of watch towers foend in continuous succession along the wall he recovered intact numer- ous written records on wood dating from the first century before arid af- ter Christ, His travels involved more than eleven thousand miles of marching over mountain and desert.
