Beauties Of Modern Syria az Seen by a
Woman Writer.
Here Is n vivid description of the
Biblical plain of Esdraelon, taken
from Mrs. A. G. I%nchbold's Under the
Syrian Sum- Instantly our gaze and
with II our hearts went out to the
strange beauty of the plain Of Esdrae-
Ion, spread out just beyond the rolling
ranges OF the Galilean hills. II was
like some beautiful sea with its softly
green pillows sweeping inland In broad
gracious curves between the bounda-
ries Of is northern and southern hills.
And upon this limpid, seemingly liquid
surface rested big cloud shadows of
Assp vsiied purple. The pillows we're
the cultivated stretches OF the plain,
and the cloud shadows Indicated the
broken, tilled soil. When In reality the
shadows Of clouds moved across the
biliowed richness Of the great meadow
-as the natives called Esdraelon-the
effect was sublime beyond descrip-
ton"
or Baalbek the same author says:
80 o~verpowering was the Hrst impress
sion Of loneliness and awe created by
the sudden sight Of the giant pillars
towering In the mystic blue light that
instinct babe one creep behind the
nearest giant stone wall and hide-hide
from the guardians, the gent, who
seemed to be lurking In the dark
depths between the fallen pillars, to be
immovable as sentinels In the penum-
bra of the vast colonnade. But there
description fails. The wonders of that
whole magic area through which we
wandered as under a spell outstrip
expression.
The veil Of the supernatural lay
lightly alike on the untouched surface
~ on the totally buried relics, now laid
bare BY the persistent burrowing Of
the searchery after truth. Ghosts Of
the long ago lowered near. In the light
which transigures all things earthly
with an atmosphere that IL supermun-
dane they whispered strange tales Of
ths phantom world. which at the mo-
mont seemed vivid and real, but In the
brightness Of the morrow vanished as
