SOLOMON'S TEMPLE \
In the Holy Land, between the |
beautiful Tyrolean valley and the val- |
ley of Jehoshaphat, rise* a level apur 4
or plateau. On this comrifandkig ^
height are the ruins of the great <
* Temple of Solomon. This Spot is one 4
of extraordinary interest to the whole j
Christian world, for the famous edifice <
was erected by the ancient craftsmen <
of whom Xing Solomon and the two
Kings Hiram were the first grand
masters. >.
We are all somewhat familiar with
the story of the building of the temple:
David was forbidden to erect the
structure to be dedicated to the Lord
because he had shed so much blood in
his wars. So he had to prepare the
way for hiB successors. Then came
the wise and mighty Solomon, who
planned to erect such a monument to
his God as had never before been
dreamed of. For this purpose he entered
into an agreement with King
Hiram whereby the latter furnished <
cedars?the famous cedars of Leb- *
anon?and skilled workmen to cut <
them. David had already prepared <
"iron for the nails and joinings; J
brass in abundance without weight." <
He had also prepared many hewn <
stones, and gotten together for this J
purpose 100,000 talents of gold and a >
thousand thousand talents of silver. <
So the young King Solomon had no J
lack of resources or material. <
?Of the original structure we are <
told that it was indeed magnificent. <
It was inclosed by a massive wall. '
The length of the temple was three <
score cubits, the breadth 20 and the <
height SO. The Btone was dressed <
before its arrival so that the con- <
struction of the building was as quiet \
as possible. The cedar floor was |
covered with flanks of fir. The <j
whole interior, including the cedar \
wainscot, was covered with gold. No j
stone was visible in the interior, and \
the cedar was carved with knobs and *
open flowers. There was an inner 1
court for the priests and an inner <
and outer temple, called the holy and <
most holy places. Within the oracle \
were two cherubim, ten cubits in <
height, with wings measuring ten 3
cubits from tip to tip, all overlaid <
with gold. Golden vessels and orna- <
ments of all kinds were in abundance. <
The roof of the various parts of the <
structure was supported partly by *
cedar pillars, partly by stone columns.
The surface of the plateau nowhere '
presented a level spot of sufficient
' area for the temple, so a large plateau
was built up with piers arched over 1
and tilled in with stone. -This structure '
still remains, with a long, sloping '
passage to the temple, up which it is <
supposed that the animals were brought !
from below for the sacrifice.
Of the rest nf thu ~
mains are in ruin. The great stones
of the foundation wall lie just where
the builders placed them and still
bear the craft-marks or directions
for placing them. The gates on the
south, west and east are still to be
seen. The south gate has all the
marks of Jewish architecture, but has
been Romanized by four white marble
columns which adorn the doorway.
Inside is an entrance hall in
the center of which is a column six
feet in diameter and,21 feet high, with
a capital finely sculptured in e+one,
the entire column being from a single
block of limestone.
The eastern gate, called by the
crusaders the Golden Gate, is now
kept walled up through a superstition
on the part of the Mohammedans that
the Christians will enter here and
drive them out. The great wall of
the enclosure still remains, as do a
flight of steps in front of the Golden
Gate, although the lattar are buried
in rubbish. .
- RIVERS AND HARBORS BILL
PASSED BY THE SENATE
Washington, April ?The rivers 1
nnd liurliors bill was passed today by \
(In- somite after it had been amended 1
so ?h to make the total $24,000,000 aa <
against the $12,000,000 in the house '
liill and $20,000,000 recommended by the <
senate committee.
The measure which was approved <
without a record vote now goes to con- '
ferencc where a sharp fight is expected. <
Roth the senate and houne agreed

appropriation rather than specific grants |
for the various projects. No new <
work was authorised.

Mississippi, sought early in the day '
to amend the bill so as to make the
total $27,000,000, hut this was defeated 1
