London, Nov. 9 (P)-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 portance the great change that has come over the Englishman's psychological attitude toward his navy. Before the war, say these experts, the British navy was the most chera ished 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 ignorant 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 hol- low. 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 war, and the English people learned two things: Arst, that sentiment and the grim actualities of warfare do not go together; secondly, that the British navy, superb fighting instrument that it was, could perform miracles at any rate not miracles 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, 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 the first few salvos, something very like a drawn battle had been fought. Two New Facts. Today, declare the expert observers, the Englishman still regards his navy with and admiration, but he discovered one or two new facts.

He knows that great thing that matters is the avoidance 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 Five-Power Conference. He will tolerate no reduction of his fleet that appears to him to imperil empire communications; but no false sentiment or pride will stand in the way of his consenting to a reduction that does in 1 fact come right down to this limit.

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 of last year, Registrar Henry G. 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. Washingten Square College with 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. Confessed Slayer Sent To Observation Ward Harold W. Elliott, 27 and homeless, who gave himself up to the Manhattan police last Wednesday and confessed that he had killed a man in Kings County Hospital last year while serving as an interne, was sent to the observation ward of the same hospital yesterday by Magistrate Hirschfeld in Flatbush Court. Elliott was taken to the Empire blvd.

Prof. Cady Visits Historic Stone Zoheleth, in Holy Land, Scene of Serpent Worship By EDWIN W. CADY, Professor in Brooklyn Law School. Cady has recently returned to London from a tour of the Holy London, Oct. 25 (By Mail)-The auto today takes you easily and unhurriedly from Jerusalem through Jericho and Bethlehem to the Dead Sea and back in an afternoon.

The roads are good, except across the desert, where the periodical inundation 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 Hinnom, which bounds Zion on the south, meets at a line approximately in continuation of the east wall of the city the Valley of Kedron. Where Hinnom and Kedron unite and continue in a long depression to the Jordan and Dead Sea Plain is called the Valley of Jehoshaphat, the name having been applied to it in the days of the 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 valley being formed anew at that time by the dividing of the Mount of Olives, but it is a sufficiently practical valley at the present time to suit the purposes of the secret societies who may have used it for the location of certain events for their purposes.

Through Herod's Gate. We go out from Jerusalem by Herod's Gate, give a look at Skull Hill-Gordon's Calvary--with its remarkable configuration of a skull, pursue the Jericho Road, which a today lies in the bed of the old moat. Here on the left are quarries of white limestone, called Solomon's quarries, and tradition has it that the stoned for the temple yore, framed were here. probably What the remains retaining 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 western supporting wall of the temple area--the so-called "Wailing Wall'-the lower five tiers fit so closely that the eye difficulty in distinguishing between crack in the stone and 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 "mountain of when you think of it, remember that 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 used in the services, all of which were in one enclosure, and not limiting the description, as some have, to the what is more, properly to be called "palace the temple." An Improbable Tradition. We further, the so-called pass, grotto of Jeremiah, where, it said, he wrote Lamentations- -a most improbable tradition, sinceJeremiah was governor of Judea the time and had fixed his center at Jerusalem, where the services were still going on in the ruins the temple. Finally, after passing the Pool of Siloam, we come to the so-called "Virgin's Fountain," which is "EnRogel," 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 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 suddenly augmented, on occasions when it suddenly bubbles up a foot or more in ten minutes time, according to the records of travelers who have seen it do so. The Serpent Stone.

Let us also look well at the Serpent -Zoheleth. The Serpent's Altar in 1 Baalbek has 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 fair, without a mark to indicate its or for fire or solar or phallic woruse for either the serpent worship 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 ordained of God, and from the very time of the fall there was promised the seed which should crush the 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 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 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 throne. 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) him by inquiring his reasons for the display (I Kings Joab, the generalissimo of the king's forces and governor of Jerusalem and the king's bete noire, albeit his near relation, and Abiathar, one of the leading priests, espoused his claim; but Zadok, a priest of equal standing, and the royal guardsmen opposed it.

To decide whether he should prosecute his claims or withdraw 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 contains no appeal based on fact that a record, a a the sacrifices were performed at the stone and not in the temple. The response of the oracle appears to have been favorable.

Then followed a harem intrigue, quite belittling to the people in red, and betraying a rank disbelief in the promises cf 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 ignoof what Adonijah had done (verses 11, 24, 27). Their unbelief, however, could not make null the promises (Romans Solomon was anointed king at the Pool of Gihon, on tl. other side of the city; and Adonijah, Joab and Abiathar eventually paid with their lives for their attempt at the throne. Kill of Evil Counsel. Thus we have an inspired and detailed narrative of an occurrence of the first rank at the stone Zoheleth-at the very spot at which we are now looking--and its location is further fixed by the description in Joshua and of the border of Benjamin and Judah as, "the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of Jerusalem" and "descended to En-Rogel." The Hill of Evil Counsel, where was the summer house of Calaphas, 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 was uttering the prophecies of Matthew xxivxxvi while seated on the Mount of Olives, from which His eye might see the gathering as they traveled along the ancient road no longer exists as suit. The juxtaposition of the two places Zoheleth and Calaphas' 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. BRIGID'S BAZAR A bazar and carnival will be held Nov.

9 (A) -The Philippines, looking around for means of increasing their meager national income, have turned to the tourist trade as a method of accomplishing that purpose. The to attract more travelers to the islands was stated at the suggestion of Governor General Davis. He argued that the tourist industry required little outlay of capital and yet could be developed into a major enterprise, as evidenced by California, Florida, France, Swit- zerland and other places. To Raise $50,000. So a Philippines Tourist Association has been formed.

It proposes to raise $50,000 for promotion poses, and has sent Walter E. Antrim, manager of the Manila Hotel, the States to maxe connections with tourist bureaus, ship lines and railways. In addition, the Governor General has started a move to make Manila look more tropical.

Finest Groups of Stars Seen in Sky This Month Constellation of Orion Will Be Visible in November Sky. One of Two Eclipses of Year Covers Patch in Atlantic but Moon Leaves Small Ring Around the Edge.

By DR. C. S. BRAININ. 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 1 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, just 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 she Latin word for ring, "annulus," and is not directly derived from the word for year, although the roots of the two words are undoubtedly the same. The present annular eclipse will be visible from a path crossing central Africa and the Atlantic Ocean; the partial phase will be observable from Africa, Europe and southwestern Asia. Of course, none of the total eclipse phenomena are observable and no expeditions are sent out to observe an annular eclipse. The Planets.

The map shows the position of Jupiter, which is the only one of the naked-eye planets visible in the evening this month, although Venus is a fine morning star, rising some two hours before the sun. Jupiter is very bright, with a negative magnitude greater than two, and is about twice as bright as the brightest of the fixed stars, the Great Dog Star. It will be easily distinguished because of its brightness and lies east of Aldebaran, the first-magnitude star 'in the contellation Taurus, the Bull. Uranus is above the horizon, too, and is in the group of Pisces, but, of course, is not visible to the unaided eye, though it is possible that under extra fine observing conditions people with unusually keen eyesight may be able to make it out--at least, we have heard such claims made and can readily believe them. Saturn sets about two hours after the sun, but is really too close for observation, as is Mars, also.

The Fixed Stars. It is generally admitted that the 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 heavens to our map with the close of the year and is with us throughout 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 halfway between the zenith and the eastern horizon.

Aldebaran is at a somewhat lower altitude. br brighter North of and Aldebaran whiter star is the Capella, much 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 discovery. Resembles Sun.

The larger component star of the Capella system emits a light which resembles that of the sun. There is this difference, however, in their respective stages of evolutionary development: The sun is a dwarf star, older in stage than Capella and shrinking and losing temperature slowly, whereas Capella is in the giant stage, increasing in temperature and probably on its way to become a blue-white star like Vega. Capella is so much brighter than the sun because of its greater sur-50 face spread, for the surface brightness per unit area must be about the same as that. of the sun. If we saw the sun 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 Greeks and Romans, but the names of the stars themselves are fairly well mixed, for a large number of them bear names of Arabic origin which 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 Andromids about the 24th.

New M. C) uRAtuS. Not Much Change in Food Demands During Past Half Century, Avers Mr. Tollner By WILLIAM WEER. A disappointing man, to a young 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. Naturally, the young man, as he scraped his feet on the foot-scraper in front of Gage Tollner's at 372 Fulton st.

and fished an enfo 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 table without 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 I've been a restaurant man.

No, not much change. Oh, there are styles in food and restaurants. And we've made some changes, especially since Mr. Dewey, here, bought the place. But not much.

So far as we're concerned, people still eat oysters and chops and steaks. No change." It seemed incredible. "But the 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 yisible. "Funny thing," said Mr. Tollner. "You know we started this as an oyster bar at 302 Fulton.

That was in 1879, before the Brooklyn 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 ple will get tired of looking at them. kind of decorations you put up peoThere's only one thing people don't get tired of looking at, that's themselves.

So I put in these mirrors, and they've been here ever since. Made Use of Mirrors. "Well, different kinds of people have passed in front of those mirrors, looked at themselves as they passed. Ladies with skirts trailing the ground, with bustles and those old-fashioned hats perched on their neads. They'd walk by and look to see how their gowns fell.

Those were the days when you could follow the crowds to the Fulton Ferry. "In those days women didn't smoke. We didn't permit smoking of any kind until 1902, and ladies only three years ago You didn't see short skirts in those days, or bobbed hair, or ladies stopping to powder themselves. Women used to wear big earrings I guess they're wearing them again now. Ladies nowadays are more open in their manners, I should say, but I shouldn't say they're any less moral.

No. sir." Moved Far from Center. He recalled that in '89, people were rather skeptical about the propriet; of Gage Tollner's moving so far away from the center of things. He pointed in the direction of Flatbush ave. and central Brooklyn.

"There was almost nothing. down that way then. And 50 years ago, when we started at 302, all the big stores were down the other way. Loser's was there, and Wechsler Abraham's--that's Abraham Straus now- Namm's and all of them. Well, there were some big men used to come down and have their steaks and c.

'sters. Mayor Schroeder, and Henry Ward Beecher and Theodore Tilton, and Mr. Wechsler of Wechsler Abraham, and A. I. Namm, and Frederick and Mrs.

Loser. Mr. Namm used to come leading little Ben Namm by the hand--that's Maj. Benjamin Namm. "Everyone Still Comes." "And judges- Judge Jenks and Judge Neilson and Judge Aspinallhe's alive yet.

And Isaac Mason, the Brooklyn furniture man, and Johit Pierson. Well, it's the same now. If you'd been here on Election Day you'd have seen every oneevery one." "And," added Seth B. Dewey, the present owner, "I wish we could have accommodated all those we turned away." The conversation turned to foods and dishes of other days. Cannot Serve in Hurry.

"On the whole," said Mr. Tollnen "our customers still want the same kind of food we served 50 years ago; At least, when they come here. But the trend of the times is to hurry, hurry. When want something in a hurry, they go somewhere else We can't serve things in a hurry, because everything is prepared to order, way it always was. "But--well, especially since Mr.

Dewey took things over--we give way a little to the trend of the times. Salads and other light dishes like that. Then there are some time popular dishes that are gone almost gone. For instance, there's an oyster shell roast. We don't get a call for an oyster shell roast, now, more than maybe abet 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 casino. 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 generationI guess they're just not educated up to them. I guess oysters aren't as popular as they used to be." It was the one regretful note in the interview.

But in a moment he was talking, cheerfully again, 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 neglect of oysters, was all right in its way. every 13, but each year many meteors belonging to each shower observed, showing that these bodies have become scattered along the entire length of the orbit which they pursue. The Leonids are the remnants of what was once Temple's comet and the Andromids are the debris of the famous Biela's comet.

TURK JOURNAL GETS PRICE CUTS FOR ITS READERS (Special Correspondence of The Eagle.) Constantinople (By Mail)-You can't prevent a newspaper circulation manager for thinking up new schemes any more than you can keep a squirrel on the ground. Because the manager happens to be an Oriental is no reason why he can not reason along Occidental lines, and perhaps go the Occidental one better. Take the case of 1 the Turkish newspaper, "Djoumhouriet," with its French edition, "La Republique." It has inaugurated a novel form of advertising 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 circulation.

The managing editor of this enterprising newspaper has, after considerable difficulty, persuaded about shops in Constantinople to allow reductions ranging from 3 percent to 15. percent to all customers presenting a coupon cut from either the Turkish or French edition of his newspaper. In addition to certain doctors, dentists, and lawyers have consented to allow as as 10 percent to 20 percent discount from their usual tees 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 national 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 coupon, should be played, and the stipuated reduction claimed, in addition to any the purchaser has succeeded in obtaining merey by his powers of haggling. 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 from the doctor, have his or her photograph taken for a little over half-price, have a cheap hair-cut and get a plate of pilaf at the chosen restaurant for 10 plastres less than the readers of some other Turkish newspaper all for one coupon. But as the "Djoumhourlet" only cost about a penny, by buying four copies daily one can economize about 2s. on the day's 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. 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 shopkeepers who are adhering to the scheme, and the doctors, dentists, lawyers, who are lending their support, are just as pleased. as the readers, for their clientele will automatically expand. Therefore, in this circle everybody is happy.

But what will be interesting to see is the scheme which other newspaper will introduce in order to go one better.

Berlin gets its biggest rainfall in July in the midst of the holiday season, while London's rain largely holds off until October. Paris, however, has two equally wet months, June and October.

New York has twice as much rain as London, although it has fewer wet days. It averages also 15 dense fogs annually, but the American fogs are mostly water fogs and are not so disagreeable as London's smoke fogs, London Has Less Sun.
