The Fanatical Country In Itiah ami a
Paradise for Hunter of
Small Game.
Morocco, in spito of its proximity to
Europe, is tho most fanatical of the
Mohammedan countries, Eays a writer
in tho London Express. Christians aro
hated by tho natives throughout tho
country, and it Is often very dangerous
to go outside tho town of Tanglor.
Tho business of Morocco Is entirely In
tho hands of MoorlBh Jews, who amass
considerable wealth In tho const ports.
It Is not prudent for a Christian to stay
anywhere but in the Jewish quarter.
At tho capital, Morocco city, and Fez
tho natives expectorate and hurl stones
nt tho "foreign infidels," as they call
them, and no Christian Is sate in tho
streets unless escorted by soldiers.
Morocco Is ono of tho most fertllo
countries In the -world; tho soil Is very
rich, and has only to bo scratched to pro
duce luxuriant crops.
Tho majority of the peopln live by
agriculture. There is very little machin
ery of any kind; labor Is cheap, and
everything Is dono by hand.
Tangier Is tho city best known to
Englishmen. A number of tourists visit
this auclent seaport every winter. It is
also much frequented by army officers,
who cross from Gibraltar for shooting
and pig-sticking.
Thero are n roads In Morocco except
tho caravan t-ncks into the interior. In
tho best of times they can hardly bo
callpd roads, but In tho rainy season,
when tho rivers are swollen and over
flow, traveling Is both difficult and dan
gerous. Tetuan, tho old Moorish city, and tho
center of tho present trouble, is about
40 miles from Tangier by road and 48
miles by sea from Gibraltar. Coming
to It from the rock, ono generally lands
at Ceuta and rides along the coast on
muleback, a distance of 30 miles.
Game and poultry of all kinds are to
bo had in abundance; delicious part
ridges and pigeons can bo had for ono
penny each; and there arc quantities of
wild pig and antelopo to be found by
this sportsman.
The ride on horesback to Tetuan from
Tangier occupies about nine hours. An
escort of two Moorish cavalrymen Is
necessary, as numbers of wild tribesmen
aro continually moving about tho
country, and thero is always a certain
amount of danger in meeting them. Na
tive runners do the journey in eight
hours for five shillings.
One dollar a day is charged for each
soldier, and In return, if tho tourist is
robbed, the governor of tho district
sweeps down on the villages near the
Ecene of tho robbery and makes them
pay 100-fold for the stolen goods. Wheth
er the unlucky stranger gets any part of
tho flno Is another question.
Tetuan Is surrounded by walls over 50
feet high and six feet thick, surmounted
by brass cannons nt various points.
Thero aro two enormous gates the sea
gate and tho land gate which are
opened at sunrise and closed at sunset.
Acetylene nnd Gnn Heat.
A comparison between tho heating
properties of acetylene and coal gas
shows that the heat units developed per
cubic foot at 1,850 and G30 respective
ly, the temperature of tho acetylene
flame being 2.C00 degrees Fahrenheit
With an acetylene burner consuming
two cubic feet of gas per hour a quart
of water was brought from a temper
ature of about 50 degrees to tho boiling
point In nbout eight and a half minutes.
Under similar conditions It required
ten and a quarter minutes for the illum
inating gas to accomplish the same re
sults, though the burner uced 10 cubic
feet of gas per hour.

W. S. SCHLEY.-
ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost
notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century.
A name that starts terror in the heart of every
Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by a friend recently, his opinion
was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his en
dorsement. It appeared on later conversa
tion that Peruna lias been used in his family,
where it is a favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. It is out of
the question that so great and famous a man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all
opposition and has won its way to the hearts
of the people. The natural timidity which
so many' people have felt about giving en
dorsements to any remedy is giving way.
Gratitude and a desire to help others has
inspired thousands of people to give public
testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would
not have consented to such publicity.
Never beford in the annals of medicine has
it happened that so many men of national
and international reputation have been will
ing to give unqualified and public endorse
ments to a proprietary remedy. No amount
of advertising could have accomplished such
a result. Peruna has won on its own merits.
Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or
location in the human body. That is why it
receives so many notable and unique en
dorsements. Address The Peruna Drug M'f'g Co., Co
lumbus, Ohio, for free literature on catarrh.
