nlsJory. Water drawn from these two
streams is conducted in irrigating
bitches through the city and over the
country surrounding it. The water has
transformed what must have been in
the days before the city was built a
desert plain into region of the greatest
fertility and beauty. So true is this that
the plain surrounding Damascus is
called by the Moslems one of the four
terrestrial paradises. The city itself is
filled with trees, among which the white
walls of some of its magnificent build
ings glitter and sparkle in the bright
Syrian sunshine. So beautiful was
Damascus to the eyes of Mohammed as
he stood looking down upon it from a
neighboring eminence that he said that
he would not enter it, because it was
given to man to enjoy but one heaven,
and he, for his part, would not take his
upon earth.
How like Denver in many respects is
this description of Damascus! To the
east are the plains, to the west the
mountains. Through the city run the
life-giving waters drawn from the
neighboring stream and by system of
irrigation the adjacent country is re-
claimed from barrenness. In some
respects Damascus is not so well built
as Denver, for many of tho houses are
constructed of adobe, and the streets. as
a rule, are narrow. But, on the other
hand, Denver has no grand buildings
like those OF Damascus, which are IA
nous the wori&over for their magnifi-
cence. There will have to be more re-
gard paid to architectural excellence in
the designing and construction of build
ings in Denver before it can boast of
building like the great Mosque Abd-el-
Malek or like the Khan AS lad Pasha.
This khan, which stands in the midst of
the bazaars, is n great cupola resting on
granite pillars and built in part of alter
nate layers of black and white marble.
1t is said to be one of the most magnif-
cent structures of the kind in the east,
and its gate is the finest specimen of
Saracenic architecture in the world
