Tt ( a YriTTi i n t :i t n Aiorht miles long, about 1,800 feet ' high at lta Inland, peak and 500 feet high 'where it Juts into the sea, dividing the JPlftlns of Esdraelon, on tha north, and Shftron' on the south. The Arabs call it nowJebel Mar Elyas, because in Jewish, Ctjrfran. and Moham medan sacred. tradItloa4xmel Is connected with the story of the Praphet Elijah. It was here that he lived In the caves of the Prophets, and this wasi the- scene of his triumph as the Prophtft of Jehovah over all tha priests of Baal. ., .. The exeeellenoy of Carmel, which waa a synonym for all beauty i. In' the days of the Kingdom of Israel, no longer exists as It did when Salomon sang of tt, for the forests have been destrdyed and new trees have not been planted. The heavily wooded slopes of the Carmel of old can be seen only In the imagination, for today the greater" part of . the mountain Is a bare desolate expanse of rocks. But Carmel at tha point whera It stretches Into -the sea has been reclaimed from the desert Dy tha religions order of the Carmelites, and it is now a dellglU' to every visitor to the Holy Land. . An exeellent road cut fnto the moun tain 'aide, Its tin aces built up with heavy masonry, leads from the port city of Haifa up to the Convent on the brow of the hill overlooking the sea. Visitors are kindly received and hospitably' entertained at the Monastery, which Is one of the most in teresting in Palestine. Carmel has been a sacred place from the earliest times. The roost ancient records of the Hlttlte peoples Indicate that Carmel was a mountain dedicated to the wor ship of the gods of that lime. It come Into Christian, Jewish and Mohammedan lore as the abiding place of the Prophets Elijah and Ellsha. It was here that Obadlah hid "a 100 men of ' the Lord's prophets by fifty In' a cave, and fed them with bread and water,"... The sons of the Prophets dwelt on this mountain, In caves and In low dark tents, from the time of Elijah until their convention Ho Christian ity. In the third and fourth centuries Greek hermits resorted in great numbers to Mount Carmel and took up their abode In its caves. They and their successors kept watch here before this great alter until the Crusades when, in 1170, the Latin Order of Carmelites waa founded here and the Monastery was begun. Tha monks were maaaacreed by tha Mumtlukes In 12'L when , the Christians Whaley, aecond. BOSTONS-20 TO 28 POUNDS.

When Napoleon Bon aparte beseiged Acre in 1799 the monastery waa utilised as a hospital and upon the re treat of tha Frertoft the buildings war de stroyed by the Turks. Early In tha nineteenth century a monk named Glan Battlsta came on a pilgrimage to Carmel 'as an act, of penance. Ha made a vow to rebuild the Monastery and the present edifice is the result of the fourteen yeara of his travels and begging. - But .even he, when he reached Ca'rmel, found an al tar and an archway, and someone on the mountain to ; keep up . the worship of the God to whom It so long had been devoted. Carmel also was a consecrated Spot In Asiatic mythology. In tha time of Tacitus It waa so holy that there was no temple or image there, but only an altar to all the gods. It was then that the pagans unwit tingly worshipped th Jewish God Jehovah, even as the Greeks of Athens later had an altar to the Unknown God. ' Pliny says that Carmel waa the name both of- the shrine and the god who waa worshipped there, That great historian declares that the ora cle which promised the Roman empire to Vespasian resounded from the summit of this sacred mountain. From the cliff at the top of the moun tain where the Monastery buildings are set one looks down a sheer precipice 600 feet to the narrow plain, perhaps a half mile wide, which separates the foot of the moun tain from tha sea. The greater part of the mountain is owned and governed by the Carmelite monks and their boundary line Is nyirked by a high stone wall, effectu ally keeping out off trespassers. Just out side this wall, at the foot or the mountain, Is the German colony. These thrifty people have established a prosperous fruit-growing community and their village la In every respect a copy of a village of the Rhine. A little further away to the north, but in easy walking distance, Is the seaport of Haifa, an Increasingly important town. It has a population of about 16,000 people, and Is by far the cleanest Turkish town In Palestine. It shines by contrast with the older and more historic Acre, which Is only five miles away on the northern shore of the Bay of . Haifa, a roadstead formed by the projection of the promon tory of Carmel. Haifa la the Mediterranean terminus of the Hadjas railway which runs from Haifa, by way of the Sea of Galilee to Damascus. This is the longest and most Important rallyway In the holy land, and It crosses the great German Arabian railway . which penetrates the fcSA-Ztel ?Cr0 S30s- f -: ... ' deserts of Moab to the eastward of the Jordan. The operation of this railway waa Interrupted by the disorder attend ing the Young Turk revolution, but It has been reopened under a new administra tion which promises to make It a factor In the restoration of the proaperlty of the country of Galilee. The native population of Haifa seems to have profited ,by the example of the thrifty German colonists who are their neighbors. The town la blessed With many schools, Latin, Greek and Protestant, and even the Mohammedans have established an educa tional system which goes beyond the mere recitation of th Koran. The natives ar thrifty and Industrious and their orange grovta and vineyards show evidence of in dustrious care. One may see In Haifa any day an exhi bition of physical strength which rivals the performance of "professional" strong men 111 the west. Haifa la the port through which the weavers of Damascus Import thoir cotton. Practically all of this Is Egyptian cotton and cornea In the. large Egyptian bales of 600 pounds each; The Arab longshoreman takes one of these huge bales for his particular burden. Four men' lift It to his back, and a rope which passes kround the bale is placed over his forehead, and he walks along ill a half orouchlng attitude, from the dock to the warehouse, a distance of 100 yards, carry ing this burden of a quarter of a ton and supporting Its weight by the band across his forehead. It seems almost impossible that so many men could be found In any cne place possessed of such great strength, but It ia nothing unusual to see a proces sion of a score of these longshoremen each carrying a bale of cotton. , , Haifa Is built on a western model, its Htreots are wide enough to admit the use of carriages, Its shops have glass win dows and some of them even .have show cases. Its police force Is gaily uniformed in a costume which la a compromise be tween Berlin and Constantinople. Once the city boasted a system of street light ing and the lamp posts, ,vlth their sockets for oil lamps, are atlll in evidence, . but the moonless-night now veils the olty of Haifa In darkness as deep as -ever hung over Egypt.' The town Is interesting because It Is new, because' its business Is a combina tion of marine shipping and railway activity', because its religious energy Is devoted to teaching the young and , not to the exploitation of some sacred shrine, and because It shows a promise of that physical regeneration which may be pos sible In Palestine under the combined In fluence of the Young Turks, the Ztontxt Jews and the Christian missionaries." On the shores of this bay, set In the protecting arm of Carmel, many cities and many civilizations have flourished. Here was a seaport of the Hittttes, here was I stronghold of Canaan overthrown by Joshua. Here was the landing place of Alexander the Great, and here was built the great Greek city of Ftolemals. V. - Si! f :.tto, - :J- "'"- ; $ H fx ' .. ' :;.i..:.-.? 'CV Here landod a portion of the Roman army which completed the destruction of the Hebrew nation. Hero came Richard of the Lion Heart to support a Christian dynasty, arid here the Crusadars made their lantstand against the .victorious armies of the Cresent. Here struggled the contending forces of Arabs, Egyptians and Turks for mastery In the Syrian littoral. Here came Napoleon the Great, laying In blood the foundations of his' glory. And now comes tjie railroad, the telegraph and the missionary, the three element which destroy the ancient day and com pel acceptance of what 'we are pleased td call modern civilisation.'1 But over it still - stands Carmel, un changed and unchanging, the altar of, the Most High God,, .the sentinel which watches over the Holy Land.
