annual visit.
Hundreds of visitors from many sec¬

came to Thomasville recently for the
annual rose show, an event, of keen
interest to flower lovers because of
Thomasville’s fame as a city of flow¬

Arabian Desert
A Negro Family in the Outskirts of Jidda, Arabia.
(Prepared by the National Geographic
Society. Washington. V. C.)
I /''■"V I NH of t He most outstanding ex
J plorations of recent years out
V side the Polar regions was
made recently wiien Bertram
Thomas, British traveler, journeyed
from south to north across the ltoba el
Khali desert of southeastern Arabia,
an area never before penetrated by a
Westerner. The world’s geographers
and map-makers knew nothing what¬
ever of the Rolia el Khali even by re¬
ports from natives, for it is doubtful
whether Arabs have been able to pene¬
trate the sandy wastes for many cen¬
turies.
The central part of the desert was
found to be covered by mile upon mile
of great sand dunes, blown into gigan¬
tic waves by the wind. Near the cen¬
ter a sizable salt lake was discovered.
The Great Southern desert covers
approximately 300,000 square miles of
territory, it Is a vast ellipse which is
roughly 800 miles across from east to
west, and (500 miles from north to
south. This area, since the penetra¬
tion of Central Africa, the Sahara, and
central Australia, has constituted the
largest blank spot on the world’s maps
outside the ice-covered wastes near
the poles.
All around this Arabian no-man’s
land, the forces of civilization have
played: steamers traverse the Red
sea, the Indian ocean, and the Persian
gulf; airplanes plying between Egypt
and India have flown for years a few
hundred miles to the north; great pil¬
grim caravans and desert armies have
crossed the peninsula near its center
—but always north of tile dread sandy
waste. Loosely organized political
units hem in the desert area, with
boundary lines hazy. On the north
and west is the territory of the great¬
est Arabian state, the kingdom of
llejaz and Nejd. On the southeast is
Yemen. The Hadramant, a narrow
costal strip under British protection,
touches the desert on the south. The
crescent-shaped, Independent state of
Oman, also a coastal territory, curves
around the eastern and southeastern
edges of the desert.
Both nature and man have guarded
the ltoba et Khali against explorers.
Mountains rim it on the east and south
and secondary deserts hem it on ttie
north. Before the main part of tiie
Southern desert—the vast waste cov¬
ered with sand dunes—enn be reached,
a six-day Journey must be made—in
the south and east, at least—over an
almost sterile sandstone steppe. Wa¬
ter supplies are hardly anywhere in
roach for a final dash into the sandy
desert.
All around the outer rim of the
desert area are tribes that have had
practically no contact with outside
civilization. nNd that are even inde¬
pendent of control from the nearest
states. They guard their few wells
and water holes jealously and in most
cases look upon travelers from the out¬
side world as meddlesome trespassers
meriting death.
Physical Characteristics.
In physical character, flora, and
fauna, Arabia as a whole is more like
Africa than Asia. In shape, it is al¬
most a triangle, and it runs from
northwest to southeast, between 30 de¬
grees and 12 degrees 45 minutes north
latitude and between 32 degrees 30
minutes and CO degrees east longitude.
It is bounded on the east, south, and
i west by the Persian gulf, the Arabian
j sea, and the Red sea respectively ; on
the north it joins Syria. As Josephus
of old wrote, “Arabia is a country that
joins on Judea.” And Roman geog
raphers drew a map of Arabia that in¬
cluded Mesopotamia and the Syrian
desert back of Palestine.
The length of the peninsula from the
head of the Gulf of Akabah to the
Straits of Bab-el-Mandeb, near Aden,
is about 1,300 miles; its greatest
breadth, in latitude 23 degrees north,
from the Red sea coast on the west to
Ras-al-Hadd on the east, is about 1,500
miles.
As one sails along the Red sea
coast of Arabia, with the low—2,000
feet high—dry and barren mountains
lying just back of sandy, empty strips
of country, he is reminded of the Pa¬
cific side of Lower California above
Cape San Lucas. Many small islands,

This event Is frequently designated
as the “triumphal entry” which is
somewhat misleading. While it was
his official entry into Jerusalem, it
was far from being a triumphal en¬
try. In fulfillment of prophecy the
Messiah officially presented himself
to the Jewish nation. It seems that
back of tiie cry “Hosanna” was taking
form the awful word “crucify.” It is
possible that the word “crucify" was
uttered by some of the same persons
who had cried “Hosanna." Though
they were utterly blind to tiie fact,
God was about to carry out his plan
of Hosanna which means “save now"
through the crucifixion of his son,
I. The Preparation (vv. 29-34).
1. Sending the disciples for the ass
(vv. 29-30).
He told them just where to go to
find It, and how to answer the inquiry
of the one who owned it. This shows
how perfectly the Lord knows all our
ways.
2. The fulfillment of prophecy
(Zech. 9: 9, Cf. Matt. 21: 4, 5).
Some five hundred years before,
Zechariah had predicted this event.
Christ's entry Into Jerusalem was an
exact fulfillment of tiiis prediction.
This is highly instructive to those who
would understand tiie as yet unful¬
filled prophecies. Since the predictions
of his first coining were literally ful¬
filled, we can expect the second to be
literally fulfilled also. The first is
established beyond u doubt. The sec¬
ond we should as heartily believe. The
prediction of Zechariah 14: 3-11 will
be just as literally fulfilled as that of
Zechariah 9: 9.
3. Obedience of the disciples (vv.
32-34).
The request may have seemed
strange and even unreasonable, yet
they fully obeyed. The true disciple
will render glad obedience to the Lord,
no matter how strange his commands
may seem. Obedience to that only
which seems reasonable is not obedi¬
ence at all. May we prove that we are
really his disciples by obeying him.
II. The Entry of the King (vv. 35-
38).
1. The disciples set Jesus upon the
ass (v. 35).
This act of putting the garments
upon the ass and setting Jesus upm
It showed that they recognized him as
their king (II Kings 9:13).
2. Acclaimed as king by the disciples
(vv. 30-38).
Some spread their garments in the
way, others perhaps having no gar¬
ments to spnre cut down branches of
trees and strewed them in his way.
This, no doubt, was just as acceptable
to him. They praised God for ail the
mighty works which tiiey had seen.
III. The Critical Pharisees (vv. 39,
40).
Although swept along by the dem¬
onstrations of the multitude, the
Pharisees deemed it prudent to ask
the Lord to rebuke the disciples, as
such behaviour might be interpreted
by the Roman government as an in¬
surrection. To their demand Jesus
replied that such homage was not only
fitting but necessary. He declared that
if the multitude were silent, the very
stones would cry out.
IV. —The King Rejected (vv. 41-44).
Christ knew what awaited him in
Jerusalem. Though surrounded by
loyal hearts, he knew that the rulers
of the nation had no heart for him.
His coming trial and death loomed
before him so that he wept over Jeru¬
salem. He knew what awful days
awaited it and that loyal hearts would
gladly welcome him if they only knew,
He showed them that their inability
to see him as their King and Saviour
would result in bringing upon them the
destruction of tlieir city,
V. The King Taking Possession of
His Own House (vv. 45-4S).
Upon entering tiie city he rebuked
the rulers for allowing the house of
God to become degraded by carrying
on traffic therein for gain. The cleans
ing of tiie temple only increased their
hatred and opposition to him. The
chief priests and scribes even sought
his destruction.
Christian Service
There is something deadly in Christ¬
ian service, where “the excellency of
the power” is of us and not of God—
The tragedy in so many lives is here;
they have no adequate power house,
and when tiiey are confronted with a
supremely difficult task tiiey fail to
cope with it and are disastrously over¬
whelmed.—Jowett.

can understand.—Thomas a Kempis
for half-wild bands of tramp fisher¬
men, dot tiie map along this coast.
One of these, called i’erlm, near the
mouth of Bab-el-Mandeb straits, is oc¬
cupied by a British garrison.
The southeastern coast, similarly
empty and marked by sharp, jagged
rocks thrust up from glistening sand
beds, is broken by several good har¬
bors, like that at Aden. This latter
port is a British possession, not unlike
Gibraltar. It is heavily fortified and
is the entrepot of commerce between
India and Europe.
Three Important Provinces.
Along the Red sea coast lie three
provinces, the most important in
Aral)!. Yemen, the most southerly and
most populous, has many arable val¬
leys, producing coffee, figs, spices, hides,
and dates. It has two port cities,
Mocha and Hodeida. Aseer province
lies north of Yemen, and north of
Aseer and extending to tiie Suez canal
stretches tiie province of Hejaz, where¬
in He the famous Moslem cities of
Mecca, and Medina.
The ancients, for convenience, or
from lack of geographic knowledge,
divided Arabia into three parts—tiie
Stony, the Desert, and the Happy.
Our knowledge of its map shows most
of its high interior plateau occupied
(except for Nejd province) by four
great deserts, the Syrian, lioba the Nefud,
the Ahkaf, and I lie el Khali.
The Mahrah and Hadramaut prov¬
inces, stretching for hundreds of miles
above Aden, are unmapped and prac¬
tically unknown.
Nejd. the great interior province
north of ltoba el Khali, is declared by
Arabs to Go tiie birthplace of their
most cherished institutions and tra¬
ditions. Nejd is isolated from the
outside world by a surrounding desert
girdle.
A confusion of plant life Is spread
over Arabia’s many rich wadis (val¬
leys) affording much "unfinished busi¬
ness” for eager botanists. Besides the
friendly palm, sucli trees ns the syca¬
more. almond, chestnut, pomegranate,
the “gum Arabic,” the acacias, and a
long list of bushes and shrubs are
scattered up and down the peninsula.
Then there is the “samh” or oatmeal
plant of the Arabs; from its small
grain they make a porridge called
samh, the national breakfast food or
Arabia.
But, with tiie exception of dates,
Arabia produces few crops of any im¬
portance. Good coffee, in limited
quantities, conies from Yemen. Millet,
barley, and wheat are nil grown, but
owing to drought the crop Is small and
restricted to limited areas. Wherever
water and soil permit, such products
ns rice, melons, gourds, cucumbers,
cabbage, garlic, and onions are raised.
Tiie Indian tig. the banana, the
papaya (imported from India), the co¬
conut. and the betel nut are also grown
in Nejd.
Crude Agriculture.
Agriculture is crude, like that of our
old American Indians. A crooked
stick scratches the ground, and seed
is broadcast by hand. Such arts as
fertilizing, rotating receive crops, pruning, considera- and j
cultivating scant ! |
tion. Hand sickles are used for reap
ing; oxen tread out tfie grain, and it j
is winnowed by being thrown into the j |
breeze. In brief. Arabia's agriculture
is almost nil—barely sufficient to fur- ’
nish a population. meager supply of food to the j I
sparse
A peculiarly drab-looking desert
grouse called “kata” lives on tiie
edges of desert wastes. When fright- j
ened they alight on the sand and j
sprawl out to hide, their color biend- j
ing with the sand so perfectly as to
render them unnoticeable to a man
standing a few yards away.
Eagles, vultures, bustards, and vari¬
ous hawks, to say notiiing of tiie
awkward oid ostrich, are common
enough.
Except for the lizard family, reptiles
are rare, and no poisonous snakes, save j j
the "afai” and the "rukta," both of
the viper family, are found in all
Arabia. There are no scorpions, how¬
ever, and centipedes: and in old
houses on tiie west coast a very dan¬
gerous spider (“Abu Hanekin”) makes
life miserable for the Arab tired busi¬
man.

WOMEN SHOULD
LEARN USES
OF MAGNESIA
To women who suffer from nausea,
or so-called “morning sickness," this
is a blessing. Most nurses know it.
It is advised by leading specialists:
Over a small quantity of finely
cracked ice pour a teaspoonful of
Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia. Sip slow¬
ly until you are relieved. It ends
sick stomach or inclination to vomit.
Its anti-acid properties make Phil¬
lips’ Milk of Magnesia quick relief
in heartburn, sour stomach, gas. Its
mild laxative action assures regular
bowel movement. Used as a mouth¬
wash it helps prevent tooth decay
during expectancy.
