or tentacles. going out from It's mouth.
These capture the food and bring it in,
in much the same way as our hands act.
Only, while we have two arms, the
anemone has many.
There are great many things to eat
in the sea, and even the little rock
anemone has choice of dainties. The
chief article of his dinner is made up
of fragments of dead matter floating in
the water-a crabs claw. or clans
foot, or even the tiny oyster fig. Be-
sides these, the tiny baby fishes are
often caught and swallowed: the eggs
of fishes are eaten. and for dessert the
rock anemone enjoys countless num-
bers of shrimp and sandhoppers.
The striped rock anemone is found
either in the sand, where the sand COW
ers rocks, or on the rocks themselves.
just at the edge Of the low tide. When
the water becomes SO low as to expose
the little flower to the air q curious
thing happens-the flower goes to sleep.
II you would like to see the awak-
ening go to a place where there are
large rocks covered with seaweed. Go
at low tide. Beneath the sea you will
find little. round. jellylike things about
the size of your fingernail. Some are
as big as mans thumbnail; all Of these
are greenish yellow and have five tiny
red lines. Don't touch or injure the
buds, but watch until the tide comes
in, or else build little wall of sand
and stones around some Of them. which
may be filled with sea water. AS soon
as the water covers the buds they open,
and this opening is a very wonderful
sight. The buds rise and stretch up
ward, gradually unfolding until the
arms are stretched out, the mouth opens
and the little rock anemone is wide
awake again.
We have seen that the sea flower can
feed itself and sleep. 1t can also change
its shape at will, walk and defend itself.
The mouth can open and shut, and. IN
deed, the entire body. soft as 1t is. can
twist and bend. lengthen out and draw
in like a piece Of rubber tubing.
Our little striped fellow can move
slowly over the rock on his base. or

But If the tide failed to come in he
would die before he could reach the
water, so slow is his footstep. The tide,
however. always comes.

Briarwit Arrives in Cordelette, and the
Princes Run Away From
the Witch's Castle.

Briarwit, after leaving the Princes
and the Schoolmaster, strobe rapidly
away. content to ramble over any road
or path that seemed most likely to lead
to some new town. Within two days he
arrived at the gates of Cordelette
which city he stumbled upon quite acci-
dsntally. The soldiers who guarded the
gates asked him who he was. and he
answered, as usual: "A distinguished
traveller on a journey of discovery" AS
it was the custom to bring all distin-
ruished strangers straightway before
the King, Briarwit was at once taken
to the royal palace.

shadows, were the Princes and the
Schoolmaster. Seeing that his friends
could easily run to the entrance before
the guard could turn and stop them, the
raven whirled around and threw the

COMING FROM JERUSALEM.


 Walter Williams, editor of the Column bia, Mo-, Herald, member of the Board of Curators of the State University ot Missouri, Superintendent of one of the largest Sunday Schools in the country and former president of the National Press Association of America, now | travelling in the Old World as the repre- sentative of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, writes from Jerusalem un- der date of February "A, as follows; T have secured from Dr. l., Schoenecke of Jerusalem the promise to exhibit at the Worlds Fair in St. Louis the world-famous models of the Temple of the Jews, models prepared by his father-in-law, the great scholar, Dr. Schick, and perfected by himself. Efforts have been made to secure these models for use at other Propositions but so far entirely without success,
 Some thirty odd years ago there came to Jerusalem a German Archaeologist, Dr. Schick, who thenceforth made the Temple area his life study. Last De- cember he died and the fruits of his life work are to be seen in the fine models, made of thousands of pieces of wood and showing the various temples as this learned scholar believed them to be. For three thousand years the Temple area has been sacred. Jews, Christians, Mos lens alike never cross the spot Eight great temples have been builded upon it, three Jewish, one pagan, two Chris tian and two Mohammedan. Of these the most notable are the Temple of Sol omon, the Temple of Herod the Church of Justinien and the Mosque of Omar, the present Haren- es- Cheriff.
 Beginning at the southeast corner we see part of the Temple Hill or Mount Morah in Solomon's Temple, rising in rock steps up to the city wall, the val ley of Kedron to the right and to the left the Tyropoean Valley, and inside the wall of the mills bastion and the House Mills" Following up we see two streets leading up to the double and triple gates of the Kings House. On a higher terrace is the Palace of the King, Solomon. Here to the left is the House of the Forest of Lebanon and. crossing above the double passage, we reach the Judgment Hall in which was the throne of the King and further, af- ter crossing the triple passage the King s private lodging. Above this ter- race of palces and on higher level are the outer Temple Walls and porches forming a great square. Inside the porches extends the Outer Court or Court of the Gentiles. behind none but Jews could go, rise of twelve steps brings us to another atform or ter race called Chel or the Rampant, on which stands large building with three wings and three stories high h. side this building are the Middle Court and the Inner Court. Fifteen steps on which the Psalm of Dopees was chant ed led up to this Inner Court and thence up five steps to the Court of the Priests

and there on the Holy Rock of Sakhra.
 stood the altar of burnt offerings and
 the brazen sea. Up twelve steps mora on the highest platform, stood the
 House of the Lord, where the Ark of the Covenant reposed, beneath the out spread wings of the cherubim in the Holy of Holies. The houses faces to thes east. On the north outside the Temple enclosure, we see the fortress with the towers Mea and Hananeel, mentioned by Vehemieh.
 When Herod pulled down and rebuilt
 the Temple of Zerubbabel he enlarged the Temple area taking into the enclos-ls ure the ground space formerly covered by the palaces of the King and extend- ing the wall to the west. A grand porch, called Solomons Porch, was put where the line of palaces had been, but the Inner Temple and the Chel and it's buildings were arranged much as in Solomon's time. The altar is large and of stone. Marble pillars in the courts have taken the place of pillars of brass. The upper room has a greater room and the middle tower on the front is left un- finished. Herod's fortress of Antonia has taken the place of the old strong- hold on the northwest.
 The great Christian church of St. Mary built in the reign of the Emperor Justinian and called Justinfan's church, was erected on the foundation of the Temple of Jupiter built in the second century by Hadrian. At this time the platform upon which the church stood was constructed, Hadrian's monument was made into chapel of St. James and the Golden Gate in the East wall was restored Between the great Byzantine church and the earlier one came the acqueduct from Solomon's pools beyond Bethlehem, to the outlet among the cypress trees. On the north- east corner large government house had taken the place of the Tower of Antonia of Herod's time The rock stops and cistern are seen
 The beautiful Mosque has taken the place of Justinian's Christian church. The first building within the enclosure is the Aksa Mosque and close to it the Mosque for the women, once the arn- ory of the Knights Templar. At the cypress trees Is still the outlet for the acqueduct. Saracenic buildings, min- arets, residences, schools. porches. are along the western wall. On the East is the Golden Gate. Tn the southeast corner the surface pavement is above the subterranean space, the so-called stables of Solomon. Over the whole area are seen white marks. These are the mouths of walls or cisterns, be- neath The great Mosque shows traces in it's architecture of all the phases of ownership it has seen-Byzantine, Cru ? sader, Saracen
 Dr. Schick has reproduced with mar velous ingenuity all these buildings and the beautiful models show the result of intelligence, patient industry and pros found scholarship"

 MT, Ticknor, of the Herald. comment ing on the last rendering of Enoch Ar den" in Boston, finishes up a most b au- tifully written half-column criticism as follows:
 The score was played by B. J. Lang, who gave truly appreciative and sym pathetic rendering ef it. He rende ed 1t its own full value, vet with his eminent skill in accompaniment he managed to make it wait upon the spoken text SO deXterously that one might have thought it had been set to the English original and also to preserve its own changes and development without an tagonizing or overpowerine the effect sought by the reader.
 The poem was delivered bv George Riddle, the only reader of the first order now before the public and one of the very few who have the eocutionary art and musical disposition to treat melo- drama property. He read with entire simplicity elegantly, convincingly and hlawlessly. Last night we were most moved to admiring and responsive feel ing by his tenderest, gravest and most spiritual passages. Yet he reese easily to those climaxes when the ascendant music called for constantly increasing efforts and wider sweep of rythmicaI delivery. Altogether it was a beautiful illustration of fine are in elocution, and it was pleasant to note that the audi ence appreciated it."

Troubles of Non Union Men at the New
 St. Stephens Church.

Troubles of Non Union Men at the New
 St. Stephens Church.
 Union workmen engaged in the con- struction of the new St. Stephens church on Kimberly avenue last Thurs day night took a novel method to make things unpleasant for some non-union men who were employed there at put ting in pews The non-union men were brought from New Jersey by Contrac- tor Murphy, who is building the church, and soon after they arrived they were asked by the union men employed on the job to join the union. The Jersey men refused point blank to do so and Thursday during the day there were several personal encounters between the union and non union men. The lat ter were working evenings to hasten the work along and Thursday evening the union men having secured keys to the doors of the church locked the non- union men in. They were kept impris oned until late in the evening, when they managed to get a window open and escaped by crawling out that exit.
 Contractor Murphy who was in Branford, was informed of the state of affairs and arrived early Friday morn ing, when he discharged all the non union men in order to avoid further trouble
