BOSTON, Oct. 5.-Will King
Solomon's temple, famed in the
bible and history, rise again?
Masons all over the world, who
believe that the author of the
proverbs founded freemasonry,
are talking of the plan of mem
bers of the order here, to raise
upon it's old foundations the tenn
pie, to take it's place as the
eighth modern wonder of the
world.
The proposition has reused so
much interest in England that the
cost for wages of the original
temple has been computed. The
figures are staggering: 66,24O,-
900!
1t has been computed that each
member of the kings levy who
worked on the temple was paid
about $3.50 a week. Their week
ly wage would be $4,000, and for
the three years $12, 100000. This
labor account alone is appalling,
yet Masons here believe that the
work can be done again.
Solomon raised his levy of 3d.
600 skilled men and worked them
in three shifts. He also was as
sisted by another force of be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 men, all
under $500 foremen, who cut
stone in the quarries and carried
1t down to the site of the temple.
The undertaking of such work
today would create new crisis in
the labor world. Yet 1t may be
done.
King Solomon, according to Ma
sonic traditions, was the first
grand master of the craft of the
Masonic order. The site of the

the Harem-E sh-Shereet mosque,
holy to Mohammedans.
This mosque would have to be
bought, and all the toll of Solo
mons men, all the treasure like
that of King Solomon's mines,
and all the command that was a
kings would have to be employed
to rear the new and mighty struc-
ture.
In place of Adoniram, who was
Solomon right-hand man, a

Instead of calling on King Hi

his heavy timbers of cedar, wood
men would have to scour the for
tests of the world to furnish beams
such as Solomon got at Lebanon.
The historian Josephus de-
scribes the temple so minutely
that, with the aid of the bible,
ischolars of today have a pretty
fair idea of what 1t was like. II

bodies of the men entombed in

|provement company, when the
explosion of Sunday took place.
All attempts to enter the shaft
have been thus far unavailing, as
the deadly gases prohibited any
thing but scant survey from near
the surface.
State Coal Mine Inspector Bot
ting yesterday obtained the use of
Draeger oxygen machines from w.
o. Roberts and w. M. Barnett,
who have charge of them at the
A. Y. p. exposition in Seattle.
They were placed in the mine to-
day.
A rescue party that entered the
|shaft yesterday was hurried back
when rumblings were heard in
the mine after they had descend
ed but few feet. The shock was
felt at the power house too. SUI
lperintendent Claghorn thereupon
ordered all rescue work suspended
until this afternoon.
Superintendent John G.. Green
of the coal company announced
yesterday that all the men who
had worked in the No. mine
would be retained and work given

The coroner's inquest has been
postponed until some progress
should be made in the rescue

The Sidonians, citizens of Sidon,
went to Mt. Lebanon and devas-
tated it of cedars for the temple,
''for the Sidonians are more skill
full than our people," as the bible
tells us. For this work Solomon
sent King Hiram of Tyre annual
,ly great stores of grain, flour,
barley, oil and wine. Solomon s
levy of 10000 artisans was bossed
by 1900 men, and there were
ALSO 10000 unskilled workmen to
do the heavy work.
There were at least $500
men working on the temple for
three years, according to the late
DR.. Schick, the noted German
cheologist.

FRENCH SCIENTIST SAYS HE
WILL SOON PUT FOUNTAIN
OF YOUTH" ON THE MAR
kET.
BY PHIL SIMS,
Staff Correspondent of the United
Press.

PARIS, Oct. 6.-I have just
come from the "life-prolonging
plant" presided over by Professor
Ellie Metchnikoff. 1t is the
Pasteur institute where Metchni-
koff is now working on the great
est of all his discoveries, an anti
dote to counterfeit the influence
of putrifaction in the large intes-
tines, to which the professor at
tributes the majority of human
ills.
1t was announced recently that
Metchnikoff has perfected his
discovery which soon will startle
the world. This statement was
premature, however, but it Was
on the right track. The professor
has strong hopes of finding the
sought-for germicide, but 1t will
be some time, in the event that
success finally rewards him, be-
fore the fountain of youth" be-
comes available commercially.
Regarding the discovery, which
is an enlargement of his theory
of the destructive qualities of luc-
to-bacciline, the professor believes
that his new preparation, when
perfected, will destroy the food
germs that wear out the intes-
tines and kill the germs original
ing from the large intestines. In
speaking of his work, the profess
sor said:
my first discovery was the
simplest thing in the world. l
took ordinary milk; sterilized and
added the baccili known as bull
gari, which soured the milk in "a
hours.
1.-THE milk then was ordinary
sour milk, except that it did not
contain many species of baccilli.
which destroy the harmful
germs taken with food"
Efforts to induce Metchnikoff
to commit himself regarding his
later discovery which medical men
concede would be the greatest
boon ever offered to mankind,
proved futile. He said:
"Wait and see. / think that ]
soon will be able to announce def
mite results and have every rea-
son to believe that they will be
all that I now hope for"

COTTON TAKES
BIC DROP

(By United Press Leased Wire)
NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Follow-
ing the issuance of the govern
ment's October report, showing the
most unpropitious condition for a
year or more, cotton has declined
50 a bale in the New York mar
ket.
Experts say that they are not
alarmed over the situation, but
admit that if the commodity
should drop another 40 points, as
it has done in the past few days,
that they will be seriously appre-
hensive of the speculative situa-
ton.

Will this towering building, OF

NEW AUSTRIAN ALPINE
RAILWAY Is FINISHED
Road Runs Direct from Western Eu-
rope to Trieste, Through Fifth
Longest Tunnel in
the World

VIENNA, July 2S.-The new Austrian
Anime railway was solemnly conse-
Grated by the ecclesiastical authorities
and opened by the Emperor Francis
Joseph, who travelled over the new line
from Spittal, on the Drave in Carinthia'
to Gastein in Salzburg.
The importance of this railway con-
sists in the fact that it is the final
section of the new Austrian railway
route to Trieste and that it contains
the fifth longest tunnel in Europe. Pas
senger traffic from England, France
and Germany to Trieste will no longer
require to pass through Vienna, but
will go direct through Munich, Salz-
burg, Gastein, Klagenfurt and Assling
to Trieste, saving hundred miles in
point of distance and several hours IN
point of time and passing through a
splendid panorama of Alpine scenery.
The interest in this concluding por-
tion of the new route is concentrated
In the tunnel, which is $500 metres
(roughly 5A miles) long, and cut
through the solid granite of the Tauern
range. The task has taken seven years
and has in all cost $5,750,000. The tun-
mel. which is situated at height of
$500 feet above sea, begins a few miles
south of Gastein in the duchy of Salz-
burg. and ends at Mallnitz in Carinthia.
The Austrian engineers met with Sc
rious difficulties due to the hardness of
the granite and the abundance of water
which burst into the tunnel in a stream
of 600 gallons per second and COM
pletely stopped the work for several
months
Fortunately the temperature of the
rock never rose above IS degrees, but
the tendency of the rock to burst spon-
taneously from the solid sides of the
tunnel made the work difficult and dan
gerous. Altogether 100000 cubic metres
of stone and an equal amount of ce-
ment were required to cover the in
terror OF the tunnel with masonry. More
than a million cubic metres of rock was
removed from the tunnel.
Extensive supplementary Construc-
tions We're required on both sides of
the high Tauern range, so that the
Tauern line cost altogether $4,000 600
one third more than was estimated
and the whole of the new route to
Trieste SOS, 500, 900, or nearly half as
much again as the original estimate
The object of the new route is to de-
velop the Alpine districts hitherto
needed for the defense of southern
Austria, and to extend the commercial
radius of the port of Trieste, which,
thanks to the new line, expects to cap
ture a part of the trade now sent to
Venice through Innsbruck and Verona,
and to compete with Genoa.

GERMANY is MODEL IN
PRACTICE OF FORESTRY
AVERAGE Yield Of Wood Per Acre Ina
creased Fiftyrfive Cubic Feet
in SeVenty-eight Years

Forest experts of all nationalities
agree that Germany is in an enViable
position as regards her lumber supply.
No nation in the world makes more
thorough utilization of its forest re-
sources.
The German empire has approximate
Iy 35000,0 600 acres of forest, of which
81 9 per cent belongs to the state, Many
years ago that country awakened to the
necessity of applying the same methods
Of business economy to the manage
ment of it's forest lands that are APP
piled to its operations in trade, and
the result is that Ger1nany's practice
of forestry has served as a model for
all other countries.
Starting with forests which were in
as bad shape as many of our own cut
over areas. Germany raised the aver
age yield of wood per acre from twenty
cubic feet in 1880 TO seVenty-five cubic
feet i'm 1908. During the same period 1t
trebled the proportion of saw timber
secured from the average cut, which
means, in other words, that through the
practice of forestry the timber lands OF
Germany are of three times better quail
ity today than when no system was
used. In a little over half century
IL increased the money returns from
an average acre OF forest sevenfold'
and today the forests arc in better con-
dition than ever before.
