the Sultan of Egypt to send a covering when
he assembled the throne.
In the wall of the Kaaba is a stone about
seven inches in diameter which gives the build
ing it's sacred character. This stone is in frag-
ments which have been cemented together and
is OH the outside, set about five feet above the
ground. The pilgrims. who expected to
march around the building times. kiss
this stone as they pass it. 1t is black. 1t is
said to have been white once. Its blackness is
attributed to the absorption of the sins of the
millions who have kissed it. There may be
other reason which would make highly civilized
Christians hesitate to place their lips upon It.
According to the legends. this stone was handed
either to Adam Abraham by the Angel Gabriel
as a gift from Paradise. 1t is said to look like
meteorite.
Daylight penetrates to the interior of the
Kaaba only three times a year. There is a door
six or seven feet above the ground. This is
opened once for men to enter a second time for
women to penetrate the gloom and third time
to permit the interior of the building to be
cleaned. Two handsome movable staircases are
used. One is for the exclusive use of men and
the other for women.

The Kaaba is of the most ancient build
ings in the world. Mahomet believed that it was
erected by Abraham. Other legends connect it
with Adam. According to these tales it was
fashioned by him after prototype in heaven
Though changes have been made from time to
time, it is substantially what it was at the time
OF Mahomet. The fiat roof dates from his
time. In 1911 the walls threatened to fall in
and girdle of gilded copper was put about
them. Nineteen years later of the many
floods which from time to time have devastated
the valley in which the Kaaba stands greatly
injured the building. 1t was rebuilt with the
original stones.
For nearly twelve hundred years it has been
the custom to cover the old building with drap-
cries. The first Caliphs put over it costly Egyp-
