 Athens, May IS, '0e.-Before writing pf the Holy Land. I shall devote an Rrtiele to the week which we spent Among the Lebanons. While the trip from Beyrout to Baalbek and Damas- GUS is included in the advertisement of Palestine tours, the places visited are not SO intimately connected with Bible history as those of Judea and Galilee.
 Beyrout, the seaport for this section of Syria, has the best harbor to be found on the east coast of the Mediter- sanean. and the city is naturally a place of considerable size and impor- 4ance. The population is estimated at about 0.O00, and the residence DOT tion covers the foothills of the Leb- anon range The principal industry Is the production of raw silk, the mul- berry groves extending as far as the eye can reach.
 The road from Beyrout to Baalbek climbs over the Lebanon range. reach ing in one place an altitude of about 6,000 feet. The view Is one of rare beanty-the winding shore of the Med tterranean, the terraced mountain Bides and the snow -elad peaks combine lo form an impressive picture. The far-famed cedars of Lebanon, some 16 feet fin diameter, still crown the high CT summits, but few of them are vis- thle from the train. A well-built car riage road follows the same general course as the railroad. but the latter now monopolizes the traffiie. The main MnS of the railroad runs to Damas- gus, but in the Beka, as the valley of the Leontes Is called at this point branch has been built to Baalbek, where a wonderful temrle once stood. rhs city was founded so long ago that History does not record it's beginning. Arab tradition peoples this district with the earliest of the Bible eharae- Gers.
 The tower of the Babel has been located at Baalbek by one tradition, while another has Cain building a fortress there as a refuge. It is cer- tain that the city ranks among the oldest known to history, the location being probably determined by the presence of a very large spring whose waters would supply great popula- tion. The name of the city (but a few thousand inhabitants are to be found there now) indicates that it was the center of Baal, or sun, worship. 1t Is believed bY those who have made re-

great temple. and is therefore in some respects even more interesting.
 
 Emperor William of GeGrmany visit ed Baalbek in 1898 and was so im- pressed by the ruins that he obtained permission from tn sultan to clear away the debris, and the travelling world is under obligations to him for having made it possible to inspect the foundations and the ground plan. In this connnction 1t may be tdded that Emperor William seems to take deep interest in this part of Asia. He visited Jerusalem to lay the corner stone of the German church; he sent to Damascus a., eautiful bronze wreath to adorn the tomb of the great Mo hammedan general, Saladin, and he has encouraged the establishment or German colonies In Palestine. There are German settlements of eonsidera- ble size at Jerusalem, Joppa and Haifa. At four places we found German ho- tels, and 1t Is needless to say that they are kept with the excellence character- istic of the race.

At the Churches.

The Rev. P A. Cheek of Birmingham will conduct the usual services at the Christian church in this city tomorrow.
 Considerable discussion is in vogue among the members of the church re- garding a regular pastor, and in view of this it has been suggested that call be made to the Rev. F. H. Duncan of Latonia, Ky. There are bright prospects that Dr. Duncan will accept the call.
 In the absence of the regular pastor, the Rev. l.. F. Whitten, the Rev. J. T. Pierce of West End, will conduct the services at the Methodist church tomor- row morning at Il o'clock. There will be no service at night.
 On account of the lecture of Dr. Palmer at the First Presbyterian church, the Rev. l.. A. Reagor, pastor of the Cum berland Presbyterian church has an- nounced that there will be no service at his church on tomorrow night The usual service at Il o'clock will be conducted by Dr. Reagor
 The usual services will be conducted at the Baptist church by the resident pastor, the Rev. J. H. Longcrier.

MODERN GRAIN ELEVATOR.
It is Group of Enormous Tanks Made
 of Hollow Filing.

There has been a revolution in grain elevator construction in recent years. In the familiar tall red structure which is a common accessory of the western land scape the grain bins and machinery were in the same building.
 Nowadays, according to Insurance En- gineering, the practice is to put the ma chinery in separate building and store the grain in large tanks connected with the machinery building by belt convey ors. There is little doubt that the old fashioned wooden grain elevator with all it's objectionable features is a thing of the past.
 In the modern grain tank of hollow terra cotta tile, built circular in shape, the walls consist of blocks six inches in thickness and eight inches in height, furred on the outside with tiles two inches in thickness and twelve inches in height (the furring tiles overlapping the smaller blocks), making a wall eight inches in thickness, the whole being re-enforced by pairs of steel tension bands running through the walls at frequent intervals.
 The steel tension bands are imbedded in a cement grouting and the outside furring is applied with cement mortar The foundation walls and base are built of concrete.
 One of these new elevators has a capa- city of 100000 bushels and consists of twenty-four tanks twenty-four feet in diameter Qnside) and 100 feet in height, with a steel operating house at one end, forty-two by seventy feet, containing all the machinery for filling and emptying the tanks. There is nothing in the construc- tion of this plant to burn. All the ma chinery is driven by electricity from an adjacent public generating station.

The second dress rehearsal of Damon and Pythias was held in the opera house tonight. A full muster of the participants was in attendance. and the play from start to finish moved on with great smoothness and satisfaction, to the man agement From the great progress made during the week it may be safely said that the best amateur performance ever offered in Ensley will be presented to the audience on Tuesday night when the curtain is rung up on the opening scene,
 Every member of the cast seems to fall into the swing of the whole play with a deXterity and versatility that would do credit to the professional. The next and final rehearsal is scheduled for Monday night, and every participant is especially requested to be present. The dates set for the performances are Tuesday and Wednesday nights, December and 5. Special music will be provided. Roy Young of Birmingham has been engaged to conduct large orchestra on the oc- casions.

Language of the Umbrella.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 There is a language of umbrellas as of flowers. For instance, place your um- brella on a rack and 1t will often indicate that 1t will change owners.
 To open it quickly in the street means that somebody elses eye is going to be in danger.
 To shut 1t quickly signifies that hat or two will probably be knocked off.
 An umbrella carried over a woman, the man getting nothing but the drippings of the rain. signifies courtship. When the man has the umbrella and the woman the drippings 1t indicates mar riage. To punch your umbrella into person and then open it means 'I dislike you.'' To swing your umbrella over your shoulder signifies 'I am making a nu- sance of myself" To trail your umbrella along the foot path means that the man behind you is thirsting for your blood. To carry it at right angles under your arm signifies that an eye is to be injured by the man who follows you. This is gen. orally a woman's way of carrying her um- brella.
 To open an umbrella quickly, it Is said, will frighten a mad bull.
 To put an alpaca umbrella by the side of silk one signifies "Exchange no rob- bery."
 To purchase an umbrella means q am not smart, but honest"
 To lend an umbrella means q am a fool" To return an umbrella means-well, nev- CT mind what it means; nobody ever does that"
 To carry an umbrella in case signifies 1t is shabby one.
 To press an umbrella on a friend, say ing, "Oh, do take it; I should much rath- CT you would than not" signifies lying. To give a friend half your umbrella means that both of you will get wet.
 To carry it from home in the morning means "It will very likely be a fine day."

Bearing on Political Situation.
Elected Three Times.

Mayor Scott has been elected over whelmingly three times as Mayor of lcns- ley but on account of other business mat ters, he Is not now inclined to yield to the insistance that Is being made by his friends that he again become eAn- didate. Mayor Scott resides in the section in dispute and in the event that the city is not dismembered by the courts de- cision, it, Is very probable that ne can be prevailed upon to become a candidate for reelection.

When asked his opinion concerning the situation. MT. Fonvlle, the primary nom- inee declined to discuss the matter fur ther than to say that he felt very opti- mistic as to the final results in the elec- ton in February. He expressed every confidence that the entire ticket nomi- mated on October 29 would poll a majori- ty of the votes cast Mir. Fonville said that since the primary many voters had rallied to the support of the democratic nominees, and in addition to the 3l1 votes cast he anticipated that the number would reach 400 in February. When asked his opinion as to the supreme courts de- cision in the Tuxedo matter, he said that he was not in position to say, but that the decision either way would have no particular bearing on the municipal elee- tion

BATCH OF QUEER TRADES.
Among Them Ale Fly and Flea Catch
ers, Lion Hunters and Human
Inruhators.

q request was recently sent out by
an English paper for suggestions Of
novel ways of earning money. Some
OF the replies have novelty enough
and to spare. Here are a few pro.
fessions' which were proposed:
A professional flea catcher, a cus.
todian for srfety pins. a collector OF

Tor the suggestion OF n dried ny mer-
chant came from two quarters. Az
for the maker up OF minds and an
equivalent of the MOI r car library,
they exist In New York at the pres.
ent time.

another person. Among the queer oc-
