THIS

DARK MYSTERY OF THE EAST. WHENOR COME THINGS GOOD AND EVIL.

*

BY B. MARRIOTT-WATHON,}

One of the most interesting problems in this world is the question of orienta

tion. Churches face the East, and all progress goes West. It is strange, if you

come to look at it, that all our ills and

all our blessings come from the East. Is there any mystic virtue in the Orient Doctors inform us, and men of science that all the deully plagues that have aflicted Europe had their origin in the East-typhus, cholera, the Black Death, for example, and even deadlier evils.

If there is any new disense -it will surely come from the East. Influenta descended ou is in that way. Now the inquiring philosopher will naturally ask, Pa Why U

Let us take the other side of the shield. All our religious have come from the Enst. lucidentally, let us recall that Mr. Wells, in his illuminating history, pointed out the odd fact that the religion of the East, Buddhian, was the product of the Aryan race, whereas the religion of the West was the product of the Enat. But, for good or ill, the East has been the breeding place of all movements

Where do we get most of our fruits from? From the East. All our fruit trees were originated in the East. Even our pheusings and many of our fows come from the East. I suppose it was because some one recognised this in fact long agn that turkeys were given their name Turkeys come, as mattor of fact, frim Argeries, but 300 years ago sonne one must have supposed they came from the East, and dubbed them turkeys.

WHY ALWAYS THE EAST!

The mystery of the East is insoluble We are orientated always, whether we know it and like it or not. It is held on good grounds that all civilisation is derived from the East. The theory is that the conquering Aryan race burst its bonds in Central or Northern Asia, and went southward to ludia and Persia, westward to Europe The conquering race settled in colonies in Greece. in Italy, by the shores of the Mediterranean, gave language and culture to the occi dental world, which had een previously peopled by savages from Africa.

But we must not forget a later arrival than these, to which we in these islands owe our origin. The Gothic invasion succeeded the Celtic, both of the same Aryan or Nordic blood, and naturally in those days they set upon each other.. But the two strains of the same race blended, and produced our British race. There was an autochthonous race in the islands befom, but they were partly absorbed. The remains are to be found in Wales and Ireland. These warn neolithic people, but I believe that ethnologists cal! them Iberians.

After all, the puzzle remains, Why does everything come from the East? Is it the swirl of the earth westward?, Is it the au? Is it the moon? Or is the solution to be found in the infinite soli tudes of space↑

No one can tell. The dawn of civilia tion was in the East, the cradle of our. religións nnd of our culture. In the olden days men looked from the western world towards the rising sun. whence. came spices and gems and all precious things and from which also came death,

After inspecting the reading room the Prince returned to the composing room. where he saw the locking up of the last forms of the Times Trade Supplement before it was sent through the foundry. After witnessing the passage of the forme through the foundry and the process of drying the matrix and the operation of the auto-plate machine, the Prince pro- reeded to the machine-room," where he started the machine on which the Times Trade Supplement for the week was printed, and received one of the first

copies of the issue, which contains a photograph of himself on the main page. An inspection was also made of the machines on which the Times itself is printed, and a flashlight photograph of the Prince was taken while he was in the act of starting a machine running on the Library Edition of the Timer.

The final stage of the Prince's tour. which lasted for an hour and a half, was a visit to the publishing room, which deals the Times Publishing Company.
