He recalled that In '89, people were V3 A'4St-i -4 it T7 THE ART 5 i serpent's head; and the light so given was adumbrated by man so that everywhere, in America and in the Pacific Isles, in Asia, Japan, Europe, are the remains of temples constructed for the worship of the serpent. The worship of Jehovah under the type of the "Brazen Serpent" so flourished in the temple that Hezekiah, after the form of worship had continued for probably seven and a half centuries (Numbers II Kings, during which the rpent was worshipped with a ritual involving the use of incense in the temple (Second.

Kings and with sacrifices outside the temple (I Kings finally destroyed the "brazen serpent" which Moses had lifted up in the wilderness, calling it a "piece of brass," as much as to say "that brass thing." Serpent Worship Existed. In a country that surpassed in the (1) Code of Ethics; (2) Morals; (3) Knowledge of God through the revealed Word, and in the (4) form and content of its religion all the great nations of antiquity how could it be that serpent worship could exist? And did it exist? The last question is beautifully answered in the manner of accession to the throne of David of his son Solomon. After the death of Absolom, the eldest son of David was Adonijah, and if the Law of Nations was to determine the selection of his successor, Adonijah was entitled to be considered as the- heir apparent of the throna He also had some basis for thinking that his claim would not be resisted by his father: David, for he had moved with almost regal magnificence through the narrow streets of Jerusalem for a long time and his father had never grieved (Hebrews) himi by inquiring his reasons for the display (I Kings Joab, the generalissimo of the kings forces and governor of Jerusalem and the king's bete noire, albeit his near relation, and Abia-thar, one of the leading priests, es J4 6 4 ittfc Settees' i man In search of pieces to write, is Mr. Eugene Tollner. Eighty years old is Mr.

Tollner, or within a couple of months of it. Fifty years a restaurateur, in the restaurant that still bears his name, or within an hour or so of it. Na turally, the young man, as he scraped his feet oa the foot-scraper in front of Gage Tollner's at 373 Fulton st. and fished an en graved card out of his engraved card case, expected to hear the worst about the generation of 1929. Naturally because, to any one who can picture half a century of adult experience, the fresh years of '79 seems so much more desirable than the confusing present.

"All right," challenged the young man, "let's hear the worst." A smallish man Mr. Tollner proved to be in stature. The years had taken some of his hair, and grayed some of the rest. But eighty oh, no, that seemed impossible. And when he talked, he talked like no octogenarian grown crabbed and testy watching the passing parade.

"No, There's No Change." Over the luncheon tabte with out a tablecloth, in accordance with the half-century tradition of Gage Tollner's he made the first amazing remark. "No," he said. "there hasn't been much change. Not in the 50 years since Ive been a restaurant man. No, not much change.

Oh, there are styles in food and restaurants. And weve maae some changes, especially since Mr. Dewey, here, bought the place. But not much. So far as we're con cerned, people still eat oysters and chops and steaks.

No change." It seemed incrediDie. "But the people themselves. Haven't they changed? Haven't they become less well, less moral?" He said no. He said: "Different But Not Less Moral" "Oh, people are different, but I wouldn't say they're less moral. For instance, they dress different.

You see those mirrors? They were easily visible. "Funny thing," said Mr. Tollner. You know we started this as an oyster bar down at 302 Fulton. That was In 1879, before the Brook lyn Bridge was opened.

Ten years later we moved here. In 1889. Well, when it came to fixing up the decorations, I said to myself, any kind of decorations you put up peo ple will get tired of looking at them.

Misty Rains on Continent Grim War Took Sentiment Out of "Walls of Oak" for Tight Little Islasd. London, Nov. 9 British students of world affairs who are estimating the chance of success or failure of the London Five-Power Conference are rating as of high importance the great, change that has corns over the Englishman's psychological attitude toward his navy. the war, say these experts, the British navy was the most cherished possession of the country. For centuries, in fact, "the right little, tight little isle" had rested secure behind the floating fortresses that had succeeded its traditional "walls of oak." The people, entirely ignoratt of the horrors of war on the grand scale, were determined that England's sea power should be greater than that of any other two Powers combined and were confident that in their navy they had a fighting instrument that could take on any such a combination and lick it hollow.

Many Men Needed. Moreover, the great number of men needed to man the huge prewar fleet meant that there was scarcely a family in the land that had not some personal connection with the navy, and it was for long a much-quoted saying that the average country squire who had three sons sent one into the army, one into the navy and one into the church. Then came the wai, and the English people learned two things: first, that sentiment and the grim actualities of warfare do not go together; secondly, that the British navy, superb fighting instrument that it was, could not perform miracles or at any rate not miracles of the kind that were expected of it. To Keep Sea Open. The keeping open of the sea for the passage of foodstuffs and troops, the defeating of the submarine menace, the guarding of the country's shores against Invasion these were superb achievements; but from their very essence they were not spectacular, and they had to be performed with the minimum of publicity.

Nor did the one great fleet action of the war, the battle of Jutland, altogether fill the bill. Expert commentators gave this great engagement its proper place in history; but at the time all that the English people in general could realize was that instead of the British navy's blowing the German fleet out of the water at tht first few salvos, something very like a drawn battle had been fought. Two New Facts. Today, declare the expert observ ers, the Englishman still regards his navy with respect and admiration, but he has discovered one or two new facts. He knows that the grsat thing that matters is the nvoidence of war, and also that no navy, however efficient, can sweep or even hold the seas in wartime without severe damage to itself.

It is in this light, it is declared, that the Englishman will regard the rive-Power conference. He will tolerate no reduction of his fleet that appears to him to im peril empire communications; but no false sentiment or pride will stand in the way of his consenting to a reduction that does in fact come right down to this limit. N.Y.U.ENROLLMENT UP NEARLY 3,000 New York University this school year has a total enrollment of 26.791 in its 12 degree-conferring colleges, or an Increase of almost 3.000 over the corresponding period nf last year. Registrar Henry a. Arnsdorf announced yesterday.

The largest increase is In the School of Commerce, Accounts and Finance where 7,943 students are enrolled, a gain of 653 over last year. Washintrten Square College vith 5.898 students, and the School of Education with 5.334 followed. Harold O. Voorhis, secretary of the university, views these figures as remarkable in view of the fact that college registration over the country Is receding, and that New York University has raised both its entrance requirements and its tuition.

The roads are good, except across the desert, where the periodical in undation of the Jordan prevents the existence of permanent roads. As you go east from Jerusalem you first pass south, skirting the foot of the Mount of Olives. The Valley of Hlnnom, which bounds Zion cn the south, meets at a line approximately in continuation of the east wall of the city the Val ley of Kedron. Where Hinnom and Kedron unit and continue in n. long depression to the Jordan and Dead Sea Plain is called the Val ley of Jehoshaphat, the name hav ing Deen applied to it in the days of t.ie Crusaders.

It is not. however. the true Valley of Jehoshaphat, I take it, in which the judgment of the nations is to take place hereafter, after the rising and downfall of the fifth world empire, that val ley being lormed anew at that ime py me aiviaing oi tne Mount ol Olives, but it is a sufficiently practical valley at the present time to suit the purposes of the secret so cieties who may have used it for the location certain events for their purposes. Through Herod's Gate. We go out from Jerusalem bv Herod's Gate, give a look at Skull Hill Gordon's Calvary with its remarkable configuration of a skull, and pursue the Jericho Hoad, which today lies in the bed of the old moat.

Here on the left are quarries of white limestone, called Solomon's quarries, arid tradition has it that the stone for the temple were framed here. What remains of were probably the retain ing walls explains to us how the temple was built so that "there was neither hammer nor ax nor any tool of iron heard in the house while it was in building." The stones were large and were "framed" so that they fitted in an almost water-tight manner. Fine Mason Work in Wailing Wall. In the western supporting wall of the temple area the so-called "Wailing Wall" the lower five tiers fit so closely that the eye has difficulty in distinguishing between a crack in the stone and the meeting place of two contiguous stones. The outcrop in "Solomon's Quarries" is of a stone so white as to satisfy Josephus' description of the temple as built of a stone so white that, when completed, it looked like a "mountain of snow and when you think of it, remember that it was the largest edifice for the service of God that has ever been built in the world's history, counting as part of the temple all the structures and enclosures that were urcd in the services, all of which were in one enclosure, and not limiting the description, as some have, to what is more properfy to be called the "palace of the templo." An Improbable Tradition.

We pass, further, the so-called grotto of Jeremiah, where, it is said, he wrote Lamentations--a most improbable tradition, rlnce Jeremiah was governor of Judea tt the time and had fixed his center at Jerusalem, where the services were still going on in the ruins of the temple. Finally, after passing the Pool of Slloam, we come to the so-called "Virgin's Fountain," which is "En' Rogel," and the "stone of Zoheleth, which Is by En-Rogel," which translated, is "the Stone of the Ser pent, which is by the Spring." A Closeup of the Spring. Let's get down and have a look It is on the west of the Valley of Kedron, under the shoulder of the hill of Ophel and directly beneath and south of the temple area. The Arabs call it Ain Um ed DeraJ, the Fountain of the Mother of Steps, for you have to go down 27 steps, each 10 inches high. Women wash clothes today on the lowest step, and the water is brackish.

The fountain always contains water, but the supply Is intermittent and sudden ly augmented, on occasions when It suddenly bubbles up a foot or more in ten minutes of time, according to the records of travelers who have seen It do so. The Serpent Stone. I Let us also look well at the Sep pent Stone Zoheleth. The Ser pent's Altar in Baalbek has "cups" cut-in recesses at the edges for the reception of the blood of victims, as are also seen in altars of Pompeii and even on Rombald's Moor in England. Yet the rock Zoheleth is 1 fair, without a mark to indicate its for either the, serpent worship I or lor fire or solar or phallic wor ship.

It must, therefore, have been used for the sacrificial worship of Yahweh. In the formal rite of the Brazen Serpent. God Ordained Sacrificial Worship. Sacrificial worship was the one or dained of God. and from the very time of the fall there was promised the seed which should crush the Philippines Income by Manila, Nov.

9 up) The Philip-pines, looking around for means of increasing their meager national income, have turned to the tourist trade as a method of accomplishing that purpose. The move to attract more travelers to the Islands was stated at t'u suggestion of Governor General Davis. He argued that the tourist Industry required little outlay of capital and yet could be developed into a major enterprli, as evidenced by California, Florida, France, Switzerland and other places. To Raise $50,000. So a Philippines Tourist Association has been formed.

It proposes to raise $50,000 for promotion and has sent WHlter E. Antrim, manager of the Manila Hotel, to the Slates to iiikb connections a 1th tourist bureaus, ship lines and railways. In addition, the Governor General has started a move to make Manila look more tropical.

'And," added Seth B. Dewey, tne present owner, "I wish we could have accommodated all those wa turned away." The conversation turned to iooas and dishes of other days. Cannot Serve in Hurry. "On the whole," said Mr. Tollneq "our customers still want the same! kind of food we served 50 years agoi At least, when they come here.

Bui the trend of the times is to hurry, hurry. When they want something in a hurry, they go somewhere else We can't serve things in a hurryi because everything is prepared tq order, the way it always was. "But well, especially since Mi', Dewey took things over we give! way a little to the trend of the; times. Salads and other light dishej like that. Then there are some oldi time popular dishes that are gone.

or almost gone. For instance, there's an oyster shell roast, wa don't get a call for an oyster shell roast, now, more than maybe on'-y a month. And nine times out of ten, when we do, it's from an old-timer "Not Oyster-Minded." "Then, there's the shell roast ca slno. You open your oysters on the shell, fix 'em with red pepper and green pepper and roast 'em on an open fire. It isn't often we get a call for that.

The younger generation I guess they're just not educated up to them. I guess oysters aren't rs popular as they used to be." It was the one regretful note in the interview. But in a moment he was talking, cheerfully a-rain, of other things. Of the 50th anniversary celebration of the founding of Gage Tollner's, this week. Of the old-timers that will be there And of the younger generation which despite Its comparative of oysters, was all right In i's wav.

a priest of equal standing, and the royal guardsmen opposed it. To decide whether he should prosecute nis claims or witndraw from them it was decided that he ought to consult an oracle. Oracle Spring Chosen. The oracle at the Oracle Spring, almost under the shadow of the temple and easily within the sight of a priest on the pinnacle of the temple performing the duty of lookout, was chosen. Adonijah repaired there with sheep, oxen and fatlings, which were sacrificed in the worship of Jehovah under the ritual of the Brazen Serpent at the "Serpent Stone." This ritualistic service seems not to have been at all unusual, and the record contains no appeal based on the fact that the sacrifices were performed at the stone and not in the temple.

The response of the oracle ap pears to have been favorable. Then followed a harem intrigue, Quite belittling to the people in ed, and betraying a rank disbelief in the promises of God elating to Solomon; for Bathsheba, prompted by Nathan, the prophet, and with him, appeared before King David to inquire whether he had made Adonijah king, though the prophet well Knew that the king was lgno- rant of what Adonijah had done (verses 11, 24, 27). Their unbe lief, however, could not make null the promises (Romans Sol omon was anointed king at the Pool of Gihon, on tl. 5 other side of the city; and Adonijah, Joab and Abl- athar eventually paid with their lives for their attempt at the throne. Hill of Evil Counsel.

Thus we have an inspired and detailed narrative of an occurrence of the first rank at the stone Zo heleth at the very spot at which we are now looking and its location is further fixed the description in Joshua and of the border of Benjamin and Judah as, "the border went up by the val ley of the son of Hlnnom unto the south side of Jerusalem" and "descended to En-Rogtl." The Hill of Evil Counsel, where was the summer house of Caiaphas, adjoins the place. It was here he sought advice of the leaders as to how he might take Jesus, very likely at the very time when Jesus 'as uttering the prophecies of Matthew xxlv-xxvl while seated en tho Mount of Olives, from which His eye might see the gathering as they traveled along the ancient road which no longer exists as su-ii. The juxtaposition of the two places Zoheleth and Caiaphas' house is quite fitting. It was on the "Hill of Evil Counsel," and evil counsel was there given to take the Lord Jesus and to Adonijah to take the throne. ST.

'MM other, on the ri ght, the sciences. area of sky which centers about the constellation of Orion is the finest part of the entire heavens where naked -eye astronomy alone is to be considered. This part of the heavens comes to our map with the close of the year and is with us throughout the winter. Its forerunner is the group of Taurus, with its bright luminary Aldebaran and the fine and universally admired cluster of stars known as the Pleiades. The latter has already at map-time climbed to a position about half way between the zenith and the eastern horizon.

Aldebaran is at a somewhat lower altitude. North of Aldebaran is the much brighter and whiter star Capella the She-Goat, In the constellation of Auriga, the Charioteer. Capella Is a spectroscopic binary, 1. a double star whose twofold nature cannot be observed In the telescope but requires the more delicate methods of spectroscopy for its diS' covery. Resembles Sun.

The larger component star of the Capella system emit a light which resembles that of the sun. There is this difference, however, in their respective stages of evolutionary de velopment: The sun is a dwarf star, older in stage than Capella and shrinking and losing temperature slowly, whereas Capella is In the giant ste-Tc, Increasing In tempera ture and probably on its way to be come a blue-white star like Vega. Capella is so much brighter than the sun because of Its greater sur face spread, for the surface bright ness per unit area must be about the same as that, of the sun. If we saw the gun from the distance of Capella, our great luminary would shrink to the equal of a star of only about the fifth magnitude Instead of the brilliant first magnitude which we see when we look from the general space neighborhood of the sun at Capella. Close to Capella are two small stars which are known as the Kids.

These names are, no doubt the remnants of a system of stellar nomenclature which was far earlier. than the classic one generally in use today. The names of the most important constellations are connected with the mythology of the ureeits ana Komsns, but the names of the stars themselves are fairly well mixed, for a large number nf them bear names of Arabic origin whlcb date from the Middle Ages, when the Saracens of Spain kept burning the torch of mathematical and physical science. The Meteors. November Is usually a good month for meteors, or shooting stars, for several showers take place this month, that of The Leonids about the middle of the month, and that of the Ajidromtds about the 24th.

TDRK JOURNAL GETS PRICE CUTS FOR ITS READERS (Special Correspondence of The Eagle.) Constantinople (By Mall) You can't prevent a newspaper circula tion manager for thinking up new schemes any more than you can keep squirrel on the ground. Because the manager happens to be an Ori ental is no reason why he can not reason along Occidental lines, and perhaps go the Occidental one bet ter. Take the case of the Turkish newspaper, "DJoumhouriet," with its French edition, "La Republique." It has Inaugurated a novel form of ad vertlslng which will benefit the newspaper and Its readers alike. For many weeks the Turkish press In general has been running a campaign against the high cost of living in Turkey, and has unsuccessfully tried to stir the authorities to some action in the matter. Consequently, the "DJoumhouriet" has decided to move along in an attempt to reduce retail prices for the public and at the same time Increase its clrcula Hon.

The managing editor of this en terprislng newspaper has, after con slderable difficulty, persuaded about 50 shops In Constantinople to allow reductions ranging from 3 percent to 15 percent to all customers pre senting a coupon cut from either the Turkish or French ediitlon of his newspaper. In addition to this, cer tain doctors, dentists, and lawyers have consented to allow as much as 10 percent to 20 percent discount from their usual to those armed with coupons of the above newspa per. Trump Card. In view of the fact that for nearly every purchase one makes the na tional custom of keen bargaining has to be observed, the "DJoumhouriet advises its readers to enter the chosen shops In the usual Innocent fashion, and before purchasing strike a bargain. Then the trump card, in the form of the magic cou pon, should be played, and the stlpu ated reduction claimed, in addition to any the purchaser has succeeded in obtaining merey by his powers of naegiing.

One coupon only serves to obtain discount for purchases made during one day at one shop. For Instance, a reader could not obtain a ten per cent reduction irom the doctor, have his or her photograph taken for a little over half-price, have a cheap hair-cut and get a plate of ptlaf at the chosen restaurant for 10 piastres less than the readers of some other Turkish newspaper all for one coupon. But as the "DJoumhouriet" only cost about a penny, by buying fou copies dally one can economize about 2s. on the ay' expenses. In fact, the rules, regulations and explanatory note given about this new departure make it quite clear that henceforth, worked as it should be done, this scheme will allow readers to live for one year at the cost of eleven months.

Alarm. Naturally, other newspapers are viewing this campaign with alarm for not only are they going to lose readers, but the circulation of the "DJoumhouriet" is likely to be at least trebled. And the shopkeep. ers who are adhering to the scheme, and the doctors, dentists, lawyers, etc who are lending their support, are Just as pleased, as the reader, for their clientele will automatically expand. Therefore, In this circle everybody Is happy.

But what will be interest lug to see is the scheme which some other newpaper will Introduce in By DR. C. S. BRAIN IN. Of the Columbia University Staff.

The smallest number of eclipses of sun or moon that can occur in any one year is two, and then they must both be eclipses of the sun; this year is such and contains but two; one was the total eclipse of May 9 and the second takes place on the first of this month. It is of the type called "annular." While the center of the lunar and solar disks, as the moon crosses in front of the sun, are close enough together to produce a total eclipse under more favorable circumstances, the moon is too far from the earth to cover the entire luminous disk of the sun. It is Just a little smaller than the sun and leaves a bright ring of the solar photosphere which is bright enough to make the chromosphere and corona invisible, Jut as at an ordinary partial eclipse. Partial Shadow. The shadow of the moon fails to reach the earth's surface at such an eclipse.

This is possible because the distance of the moon from the earth varies by about 30.000 miles and may exceed the length of the shadow by about 24.000 miles. The word "annular" comes from 'he Latin word for ring, "annulus," and Is not directly derived from trie weed for year, although the roots of the two words are undoubtedly the same, The present annular eclipse will be visible from a path crossing cen tral Africa and the Atlantic Ocean the partial phase will be observable from Africa, Europe and southwestern Asia.
