what SnIornon's Temple Cost.

"a Biblical student in this city" says
our Washington correspondent de
clares that if the descriptions Of Solo
mons Temple are accurately given in
the Bible and by secular authorities,
the total value of that edifice and it's
contents must have exceeded $50,OOO,-
100000 In the first place, the value
of the matA'ials in the rough Is esti-
mated at $4,000 ,000,0 600, and the labor
at $3,000,000 According to Vflal-
pandis 10000 men were engaged in
dressing cedar lumber, $4,000 were en-
gagged in cutting stone and 10000 in
bearing burdens for period Of seven
years, who, in addition to their wages,
received so cents a day for food. Ac-
cording to the same authority, which is
corroborated by Josephus, the vessels
of gold We're valued at 100000 talents,
which, reduced to American money, is
equal to $3.50, 491 ,015! The vessels of
silver are calculated at $3,231, 715, 900,
thu vestments of the priests and the
robes Of the singers at $10,050, 900,

Outspeeded the Swallow,

swallow is considered one Of the
swittest of dying birds, and it was
thought until short time ago that no
insect could escape it,
a naturalist tells Of an exciting
chase he saw between II swallow and
a dragon fly, which is among the swift
est of insects
The insect flew with incredible speed
and wheeled and lodged with such
ease that the swallow, despite its ut
most efforts completely failed to over
take and capture it.
