Tow.r of nnhcI.

Three different piles of ruins in Bah
ylonia claim the distinction of being
remnants OF tic original tower. the
building of which caused the confusion
of tongues. \ full account of this re-
marketable semi-historical event may be
found in the eleventh chapter of Gen
sis. The first of tine three ruins above
mentioned is the celebrated Niinrud's
tower, near Aklsurkef, the second on
the east bank of the Euphrates river.
five miles above the modern city of
HillaI; third, the conical mound known
as Birs Nimrud, six miles and a half
southwest of the city last named above
all in Babylonia. Biblical scholars
throw the weight of their opinions in
favor of Birs Ninrud rs being the site
OF the proposed heaven penetrating
shaft.
The ruins at this point, which con-
sist inainly of kiln bricks. huge stones
and vitrilied mortar, almost hidden
from sight by sands. the accommodations
of centuries, are 19S feet in height and
nearly 500 yards iii circumference. Sir
r X. Porter, who has given much
study to the Birs Nimrud ruins, believes
its vitr:iied appearance to be the results
of numerous lightning strokes, conclu-
sions Which, taken in connection with
the tradition that the tower was Ge-
stroyed by fire from heaven, forms an
interesting subject for thought. Por-
ter also says that, with the exception Of
natural accumulation and decay. the
tower is, i'll his estimation, almost IN
the exact condition as left Mt the time
of the confusion.-St Louis Republic.

The Order of Freemasonry is said to
have been established by solomon Mt
the time of building his temple. The
order has been derived from many
sources. bat not till about I7l7 did the
second stage of its history begin in
London, which is, in fact, the home OF
Masonry as now taught. The first
lodge III the United States was organ
lied in 1129 and was then under the
jurisdiction of the grand lodge of Eng
land The emblem of the order in
most common use is the square and the
compass worn by members of the Blue
lodge. Besides this there are several
designs worn by p'n',a advanced mem
oers, among them keystone Ior rne
Chapter degree and Maltese cross for
the colninandery. There are also hun
dreds of men entitled to wear the Con-
sistorN or thirty-second degree badge.
