the Persian gulf at and in the Vicln-

"Statistics prove that the mean an

both places is about on par, though
l am inclined to believe, if my recollec-
ton Of the records is not blunted.
that little brackish water has been
found in a few isolated springs on the
alllon surface of Death Valley, where
as there is no water at all to be found

TARNS ANCIENT HALLS.
Lord Dudley's Fund for PreserUa-
ton Of TreIand's Historic Hill.

Lord Dudley. the Vlceroy OF ireland. IS still fur
thor increasing his popularity IN the Emerald Isle
By starting subscription for the purchase Of the
historic Aiu OF Tara. Ga County Meath. some 23s
acres thereof sold the other day BY public
auction Tor $1,000. and Il Is hoped that. by pun
chasing the entire HILL Il may be spared from the
decoration OF being built over. and that Il any
excavations are made they may be for the purpose
o. rcvcreut exploration. rather than fo- the con-
etruction Of the foundations OF cheap villas.
Leaving aside the popular legend according 20
which the Ark OF the Covenant was concealed IN
the Hii or Tara by St. Patrick, II is fact that
this hill was the ancient GROWING place Of the
kings OF Ireland. 1t likewise the site OF their
palaces and tombs. dating as such from FIVE cen
turtles before The birth Of Christ The hill is COW
cred with earthworks. commonly known in Ireland
as "raths." and beneath these are believed to be
the ruins ot the palaces the temples and the for
tresses which formerly figured on the HILL and
which are referred 10 by so many Irish poets as
''Tara's ancient halls"
Columns co2ld be written about Tara and its
legends Il is doubtful whether there IS another
spot in the Emerald Isle 80 dear TO the heart Of
the Irish patriots. and the fact that Lord Dudley
should have initiated a movement with large
personal subscription protect the hill from desc
Grafton and preserve IL as a national monument
is calculated to render memorable his vioeroyalty
and to make him more popular in Erin than any Of
his predecessors Lord Lieutenant at Dublin
