Italian Papers Exploit Painter as Great Prophet (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) ROMK, July 16. The Leonardo da Vinci, cf whom the world thinks only aa a great painter. Is now set forth in the Italian papers as a great prophet of what might come to pass In warfare. In the latter part of the fifteenth century hla versatile genlua Included skill as a scientist, en gineer, mechanician and architect, as well aa a painter and musician, and his Imagination led to the design of many remarkable lmplemcnta of war. among which was a alearn gun which waa run by bolting water. In thla Invention, In cidentally, it Is said he anticipated the steam engine. In certain of hla works he told of sev eral forma of bombarding engtnea, one of which threw minute particles, like a storm of hall, producing quantltlea of dense amoks to frighten the enemy. Among his pspers are found what may be called the ancestors of ths terrible csnnon for throwing burning liquid at a great distance, which the Krupp and Rsson factories are said to have turned out. "There will Issue from the earth," he wrote, "that which, with frightful sounds, will deafen ths surroundings and with Ita breath will kill men and ruin cities and fortresses." lie suggested the use of a powder which would stun and suffocate the enemy, and at the same time suggested a re mod y. "To send poi son In powder." he said, "be careful to have a wind which will not aend the powder upon yourself, or have the noae and mouth covered by a thin wet cloth, an that the powder cannot pass," . , v He left sketches of mortars and other heavy engines of war which suggest the modern heavy and quick-firing guns, and seemed even to have Imagined a subma rine and aeroplane. Of the former he wrote, according to the quotations given in the Italian papers: "I do not publish or divulge my way of staying under water because of tha bad nature of men. who would use It for assassination under the aea by ripping open tha bottoms of ships."

Many reservations son being mede by mail. The general aoat Tlie fat of Tlsha b'Ah, of Ah, which thla year falls on Tuevdsy, July 20, will be observed by the Jewish orthodox congregations In a very mourn ful manner. This is the saddest day In the Jewish year, as It is on this day when a num ber of the most tragical events In Jewish history took place. Hy a strange coin cidence, the fall of Judca. and the destruction of both the first and the sec ond sanrtuarlrs In Jerusalem happened to take place on this day. The sanctuary built by King Solomon was burned down on the ninth day of Ab In the year 638 B. t K. by Neburhadnezxar. king of Babylonia, who after he laid waste the country, drove away its Inhsbltants Into captivity In his own land. From that oc casion came down to us the wonderfully beautiful and pathetic psalm cxxxvll, In which the poet pictures the Jewish cap tives sitting at the Babylonian rivers and weplng bitterly when the 1evites, the tomple singers, were asked by their cap tors to sing their Zlon songs. In reply they hung tip their harps on the nearby willows saying: "How can we sing tho sonrs of the Ixrd on tho soil of the stranger?" This simple but sincere reply called forth a wave of patriotic feelings and all the people uttered the oath: "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget Ita aunning, may my tongue cleave to my palate If I do not remember thee; if I recall not Jerusalem at the head ef my Joy." This exile, however, did not Inst very long. After a period of seventy years when Babylonia fell before the Persian Conqueror Cyrua, the Jews obtained per mission to leave the captivity and re Settle their old home land. Some 60,000 Israelites returned to Palentlne under the leadership of Esra and Nehemlah, and after a great number of obstacles had been removed, difficulties overcome, they succeedod in making Palestine a Jewish country once more, and the sanctuary at Jerusalem was rebuilt. Not until the claws of the Roman eagle had taken hold of the little country, had Judca been forced to get into a strife with the then most powerful military system on earth, and thus lose Its Independence, Its coun try, and Ita existence as a separate nation. In the year C7 O. E., due to the treat ment of the people by the Roman gov ernors In Palestine, a revolutionary move ment was begun, aiming to free Judia from Roman rule. Vespasian waa sent In the command of the Roman legion to quell the movemont. He found the whole country ready to fight for its In dependence, and it took him two years before he could finish the provincial campaign and reach to the walls of Jerusalem. From there he waa called to the throne at Rome, and hla son Titus waa left to finish the rest. History knows of no more desperate warfare than what waa going on around the walla of the Papers Published at Front Saved by French Government (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) PARIS.

Only after a pro longed siege, the fighting garrison being made a prey to tamlne. slrknesa and sword, did Titus' succeed In storming the walls and entered the city, to find one and ail gathered within the fortified court of the sanctuary, ready to defend It to their last drops of blood. A Tar council was hastily summoned, which de cided to spare the edifice. On the fatal fllh of Ab, 70 C. E., the besieged attempted one more furious onslaught against their rntmy, but were repulsed and cloiely fol lowed by the Roman soldiers, one of whom, seising a burning fire brand, mounted upon a comrade's shoulder and flung It through one cf the windows in'o the Interior of the temple. This examplo was followed by msny others, the fire blaxed up and the flames rose heaven ward. Titus considered this victory one of Ihe tree t-st of the Roman people and per petuated its memory by building up the well known "Triumphal arch." This arch is still standing, although it la a long time since the Roman nation haa gone out of existence. On that arch are still visible the carved rejlefa of a picture representing a long train of captives carrying the golden candlestick, the holy ark, the tablets contained In It, and other holy vessels taken from the temple. Many of these relics may be found at the present time in the various mu secms In Europe and America. The memory of these tragic event, however, is kept alive not only in the historical books or relics, but also in the hearts of a nation. Many of the Jewish people still cling to the old custom not to partake of any food or drink on thia day. In the synsgoguee mournful serv ices are held, where, accordingly with the oriental custom of mourning, the people sit on low stools, while chanting the lamentations of the book of Threnl, which were uttered by the prophet Jere miah, amldnt the ruins of Jerusalem upon the first fall of Judea. together with another number of lamentations com posed at later occasions. At this day, aa well as at any day during these twenty oenturiea,"many of the Jewish people cherish the hope that the day will come when they will once more Inhabit their own land Palestine, To attain thla end, the late Dr. Theodore Hera! formed the Zionist organisation, which counts over 600,000 members. This organization laid the foundation of two financial national Institutions, the "Jew ish Colonial Trust" and the "Jewish Na tional Fund." which are devoted to col onization work In Palestine, which for thn time must be stopped on account of the war. Among present day leaders of the Zionist movement are such men as Max Nodau, Or. Oppenhelmer, Louis D. Brandela and Nathan Strause.
