As. the British advanced in Palestine they found that the wells had
been destroyed. Since such an Outrage is forbidden by the religion of -the
Orthodox Turks, the presumption is that the well shown in the above photo-

This well was at Bersheba and was blown up with a high explosive.

Consists of Wooden Huts on Wheels—
Is Moved to Huron's Inc.
The most curious of cities consists
of wooden huts on wheels, to the num-
ber of about one hundred and thirty,
which, when the season arrives, are
rolled on to the ice on Saginaw Bay,
Lake Huron. The population of this ._
city without a name is about five hun-
dred. Each hut is fitted with cooking
utensils, hammocks, and a stove, and
is occupied by three then, whose busi-
ness on the ice 'is to 'fellow a peculiar
method of fishing.
In the centre of each hitt a stole,
about a yard square, is due: to the
water. One of the fishermen then
takes a live fish of the herring tribe,
and after fastening it to a piece of
pack -thread drops it into the water.
The fish clashes away as swift bSs' an
arrow until it is pulled up the
thread, when it returns towards the
hole followed by a hose of pile and
other fish desirous of feasting on tate
dainty morsel. Beside the 11015 stand
the fishermen, harpoon' in hand, wait-
ing the arrival of the pursuer's, who
are received with thrusts of the four
or five -pronged instrument,
, whichh
rarely fails to bring u1
victims.
Some huts can show two hundred Or
more of fine fish at the end of the
day's work. The most wird appear-
ance of this city is' at night, when the
the
fishdrmen prosecute the work by
light of torches, which, as is well
known, attract fish without the aid of
