VIII the editor please give n small sketch OF
the hight, size aud SO OF the tcdhts OF Lebanon
spoken Of IN the Bible rs people differ greatly in
of q Wallace, OSCeOln,
Ky.
or the celebrated Ccdnrs OF Lebanon, spoken of
in the Old Testament, and which supplied the wood
work OF Solomons Temple, but few remain.
grove Of some 400 trees Mount Lebanon about
three-quartcrs Of a mile in circumference, is all
that now remains. The young trees are thought to
be about 200 years old. the others from 400 to 500
years There y trees whose age i incalculabe;
the largest GO feet in circumference following the
bark; one measures 70 feet. They rarely exceed
30 feet in hight. The reason their age cannot be
estimated is because they have long ceased TO
in regular coneeutric rings, and the botaniss
have lost their cew. Russeger believes that some
of them over 1909 years old.
The Cedar of Lebanon is cone benring, with
evergreen leaves The Editor recently saw n cone
attached TO a twig brought TO America by some
Syrian students. which resombled petrihed wood
in solidity in color like an old bone. Every year.
Oh TRANSPORTATION Day, the Greeks, Naronies and
Armenians celebrate mass ut the Cedars.

golden gates were closed against him, would he
be permitted to enter tiil the daughter Of earth
whom he loved, had planted foFEet-ine' nots IN
every part Of shc earth. 80 The angel again de-
scendcd aud taking the maiden by tlie hand, to-
gsetheF they went forth 60 beauiny the earth. Lo'
when their task ended. the gates Of Paradise
