Gum arabic, which forms one of thI
more important minor exports d
Egypt, is the sap from a special kind
of tree which grows from three to fiv|
yards in height, whole forests of which
are found in the Kordofan provincd
and also near Gedid, in the White Mil
province. The natives are free to coll
lect the gum. The season during which
the trees yield their sap runs fromYDe|
cember to May. Prior to gathering
the crop the natives prepare the tree|
by slightly cutting the bark in numer|
Gus places. The sap then exudes, sol

This wall is ornamented with a gate
under which solomon had his throne
placed when he assisted at public cere-
monies. It was called Solomon's gate
even after the death Of Herod. Nun
erous engagements and alterations
were made in the temple by the kings
of Judea but in $50 before Christ when
the Chaldeans took Jerusalem, the
temple was totally destroyed Herod,
made king of the Jews by the Romans,
conceived the idea of making himself
popular with the people by rebuilding
the temple in all the splendor of Solo
mon. In the execution Of his plan which
included enlargement, Josephus says
he doubled the original size requiring
the complete demolition Of the former
structure and the rebuilding of the an
cient terraces and the gates GROWING
them. One feature of the old temple
that he. seems to have preserved was
the eastern gate or gate of Solomon.
The ancient plan was, however, not
departed from in the main. This tenn
pie of Jerusalem was one of the most
majestic works of architecture that
antiquity produced. The succession of
enclosed courts, rising one above an
other, and crowned with the gigantic
white marble pylons of the sanctuary
is a conception of genius that was real
lied only here and all antiquity had
but one voice in praise of it's imposing
character.
The house of the Eternal was en-
bellished with unprecedented luxury,
costly woods, gold, silver, ivory, pre-
cious stones-nothing was spared by
this people that was so jealous of its
god Accessories Of the cult moreover,
acred vessels, knives, basins, utensils
OF every kind, were works in which
caster and engrayer We'd with one an
other in the display of therl art.
Ir taking leave of Solomon and King
Hiram, we cannot lose sight of the
fact that the endowment of the high
est and most precious gift of genius in
the direction of art, science and in
poetry and music the perfection of the
human is not to be found when we
consider the domestic and political ca
reer of either Solomon or Hiram While
the one scars to the attachments of the
highest ideals the other delves into the
very depths Of degeneracy and crime
Such an antogonistic condition of the
human character presents a picture of
despair, When we consider that the
fine arts should lift and purify the hui
man race and that religion is the OUT
growth of this very essence, we must
consider with sorrowful hearts both
Solomon and Hiram especially when
one Of them passes as the wise and just
man.

DURATION OF STRIKES.

Washington, July 25.-The industries
of the United States suffered less from
strikes during the year 1905 than in
any year since 1892, if the number of
employees thrown out of work by
strikes and the duration of the strikes
be taken as a measure In that year
221,686 employees were thrown out of
work by 2,O77 strikes undertaken by
1887 strikers in 1922 establishments,
and lasting an average of 231 days in
each establishment involved.
These favorable industrial conditions
as regards strikes during 1905 were APP
parently exceptional, and can not be
assumed TO indicate any lasting ten
dency toward industrial peace, for the
preceding period Of six years (1S99 to
1900 was period of extraordinary in
dustrial strife, and the number of en-
ployes thrown out of work by strikes
i'm each of the four years Q901 to 1900
exceeded the number thrown out of
work in any year on record save 1894.
The year 1894 stands out in the his
tory of the country as the year most
notable for the great number of work.
ems thrown out of work by strikes,
over $4,000 employees being thrown out
of work by 1,349 strikes undertaken by
Dos, 049 strikers in 1896 establishments,
and lasting an average of 92.4 days in
each establishment involved In both
1902 and 1903 the number of employees
thrown out of work by strikes was
slightly less and the average duration
somewhat shorter although the num-
Der of establishments involved in 1903
was $1,000 greater than ever before,
reaching 2O,248.
These facts are brought out in the
Twenty-flrst Annual Report of the
Bureau of Labor of the Department Of
Commerce and Labor, devoted to
strikes and lockouts in the United
States during the twenty-five year pc
riod 1881 to 1905, just issued.
The total number Of strikes in the
United States during this period of
twenty-five years was 36,757 and of
lockouts 1,546, or 383O3 labor disturb
ances Of both kinds Strikes occurred
in 49, establishments and lockouts
In 1851 establishments. making a to-
tai Of 199954 establishments in which
these interruptions of work occurred.
The total number of persons who
went out on strike during the twenty
five years was 6,72SO4S, and the num-
Der Of persons locked out was 1921,
!. making a total of 7,444,279 employees
striking and locked out.
