NONMAGnETIc SHIP.
Odd Construction of the Carnegie For
Studying Compass Variations.

Odd CONSTRUCTION OF the carnegie Fof
Studying Compass Variations.
The Carnegie institute is having built
at Brooklyn for the study Of phenome-
ma of magnetic variations an auxiliary
craft Of 56S tons displacement. In the
construction of which less than 600
pounds of steel or iron will be used.
The vessel will be called the Carnegie
and will be used chiefly for the study
Of compass variations. The use OF
steel and iron has been limited to the
greatest possible extent so that obser.
vations will not be affected by the
compass detection usual on modern
steel ships.
The Carnegie will be built of wood,
with locust treenails and copper and
bronze bolts. The anchors, plumbing
and cabin fittings Will also be bronze,
and even the engines, with few
small exceptions, will he constructed
of a special alloy called Victor vana
dunn bronze. Hemp cables will he used
instead of anchor chains.

ing Temple.
 As result of the effort of the de IarCE. ent of state to learn all tha5 Is JOSS be of the birthplace of Mason ry,' Thomas R. Wallace, Amlrical. consul at Jerusalem, has made an eX- ,ensive investigator of "Solomon's '.ua,lies" in the Hoy city. His repor, Io the state depar. .ment is of interes to Masonic bodies, and particularly to american Masons, because an Amerl- can, Rola Floyd, became seniCr wal len of tke Roy al Solomon Mother .odge, i-s-ituted in Jeru alem in 1Sl5.
 "Solomon's qua-rles' were m-n- toned by Josephus in the writings oi he ancient historian. They were lost thrCu h the Middle Ages and un til me St recent times. A chamber is pointed cut in the quarries as the original meeting place of the ancien' bcdy of L.asons. The chamber is the 5o-~-lltd Chamber of Brotherly Cove nant."
 Mir. Wallace said that his investiga- tiors led him to believe that the guar ry became lost when the Romans de stroyed Jerusalem. It is believed tha the stone win which the ancient tenn pie was built was taken from the quar- ry. The basis of this belief is tha Josephus described the temple as hay ing been white, like a mountain o: snow" The stone in the quarry is white ard soft, hardening with expos ure to the air.
 The quarries were discovered by ac- cident. According to the story told MT. Wallace. a Dr. Barclay was ou hunting. His dog disappeared in hole near the north wall of the city. The dog failed to reappear. Dr. Bar clay tore away the earth and weeds about the hole until he had enlarged f to the quarries.
 A chamber is pointed out in which it Is said the first meetings of Mason ry were held. It is a small semi cir cular place with seats about it formed of shelves of stone. Crumbled into shapeless mass at one end of the semi circle is what once was pillar Of stone and Is said to have been the chapel of the lodge. It is in the same condition now as when discovered, MT Wallace said.
 An American named Page. accord ing to MT. Wallace, gave the best indi- cation of the time which passed since the quarries were lost. A small pot tery lamp such as those used by the early Jews was found in the quarries by MT. Page It was filled with the minute particles of dirt which float in the air. These particles would remain in the vessel after falling in. because protected from air currents by the rim of the vessel. The pottery lamp had bowl one inch deep. It contained )nly these atoms of dust, showing that t required ages to fill.
 The supposed connection of Solo mon with these Guarries, together with the traditional idea that associates him with the early history of the Masonic fraternity, is responsible for the in terest with which Masons regard these caves, and especially the partic- ular chamber where lodge meetings are sometimes held GaveIs and pa per weights made from the white stone of the quarry and on which Ma sonic emblems are carved, are to be had in some of the stores of Jerusa- lem, and are much prized by Masons.
