The Site Of the Temple.
King Solomon's temple was built on the
site prepared for it by David, the threshing-
floor of the Jebusite Ornan, on Mount Moriah.
The area inclosed by the outer walls covered
about 25 acres of ground. After Solomon's
temple was destroyed ZerubbabePs was built
on its site. Later. Herod erected his temple
on the same site. but enlarged the boundaries.
After the destruction OF this. Hadrian built
the temple Of Jupiter on the same site and
later Justinian built his church on the spot.
The site is now occupied by the Great Mosque.
Solomon's temple was begun in the fourth
year of the kings reign. 592 years after the
exodus from Egypt 3,102 years from the crea-
ton Of Adam. 1t was finished In the eleventh
year Of Solomon's reign.

Gathering the
WOrkmen.

Solomon asked Hiram, king of Tyre, to
help him in the construction of the temple.
and desired him to send some of his subjects
with his own to Mount Lebanon to cut down
timber. "for the Sidonians are more skillful
than our people in cutting of wood" He also
offered to pay the woodcutters whatever price
Hiram fixed Hiram replied that he would
be subservient to Solomon In all the things,
and have many large trees of cedar and cy-
press wood cut down. and would send them by
sea in floats to the place appointed for them
to be delivered. so that they might be taken
to Jerusalem. In consideration Of this service
Solomon sent Hiram annually 10000 cori OF
wheat the same of barley, and as many
'baths" of oil and Of wine. The quantity or
wheat and barley was each equivalent 10
l6OO 900 gallons, or 100000 bushels; while the
quantity of oil and wine was each equivalent
to 10000 gallons The latter would therefore
be equal to about $500 hogsheads.
Solomon raised levy OF 10000 men to cut
timber. They were divided into three shifts.
Ten Thousand went to Mount Lebanon for
one month and were two months at home.
There were 5000 men who carried the stones.
and there were $4,000 stone cutters In the
mountains These men had $500 foremen.
Stone cutters Quarried enormous blocks, sew

resents the exterior Of the porch of the temple
with the two great pillars, Jachin and BoaZ,
the former on the right and the latter on the
left side of the doorway. The meaning of ia
chin is "to establish" and that of Boaz Gin
strength" The porch itself, according to the
description in Chronicles 3:S and 4, was 20
cubits broad and 120 eubits high, while the
height of the two brass pillars with their
chapters was % cubits, so that the porch was
rather more than five times the height Of the
pillars. This proportion, 1t will be observed,
has not been maintained in the model, which
makes the height of the porch only about four
times that Of the pillars In the court, which,
from its name, was reserved for the priests,
may be seen the great altar Of brass, which
was 20 cubits long, 20 cubits broad and 10
cubits high, with steps leading to it. On the
left hand side of the court is the molten sea,
which was "set on the right side. of the east
against the south" and stood on IL brazen
oxen. 1t was probably furnished with water
by an elaborate system of pipes, which, how
ever, are not mentioned in the Bible. In the
court too. will be seen the 10 LAYERS, each Of
which stood on brass base, elaborately orna-
mented and furnished with wheels, by means
Of which it could easily be taken to any part
of the court in order that the water might be
used for washing such things they offered,
for the burnt Offering" The water In the
LAYERS was also. probably, used for the pur-
pose of washing down the altar after the sacri-
fees had been offered. the bodies of the ami

the service The musical instruments used

of these as 10000; but he also gives the mum
ber of trumpets. which may also be seen being
blown by priests. as 100000. One Of the great

that these numbers were grossly exaggerated
by JosephAs who. In his view. exaggerated
the number of all the appurtenances of the
temple where there Is no biblical authority

which he was tied down vigorously.
Golden Ornaments and Vessels.
The golden ornaments included the great
candlestick with seven lights. symbols Of the
divine presence. seven being the number Of

stick were made and ranged on each side Of
the altar of incense. Besides these there were
the ark to hold the tables of the law, the table
for the shewbread, candlesticks, censers tongs
snuffers, knives. extinguishers. trays. vases
and other utensils for trimming and making
the lights and fires, in nun--ers unknown:
also basins. spoons, censers, entry for the

HOW THE CREDIT OF

In 1899 Minister Limantour visited

CEMETERIES
RAILWAYS in WEST AFRICA.
New Line in the Gold Coast Be-
gun This Year.

Consul solomon B~erliner, of Tenertffe,
In reporting that the first sod of the
Acora-Akwapim Railway in the Gold
Coast, West Africa, was cut on jan
uary z, 1909, also points out what effect
1t will have In developing that country:
This railway Is interesting from a
double point of view. 1t is being built
for the purpose o ( developing the agri-
cultural wealth of the country, espe-
cially the cocoa industry. This in
dustry is a native one worked by the
natives themselves, by whom 1t was
started. Notwithstanding the lack of
adequate transportation, Its progress
has been remarkable, the value of cocoa
exported having risen in the last ten
years from under $50, 900 to over ST.
800, 900. French and German govern
ment experts who ave visited the
cocoa fields nave not concealed their
admiration at such an example of
native capacity and initiative. 1t Is
confidently believed that the railroad
by efectfng ar economic revolution in
the matter of transportation viii great
ly increase the output.
The As1antis have also taken to
COCOA growing within recent years, and
uuiuEiOdo RldHCdLiOIo VI ldTI1S near
the town of Kumasi are now in the
producing stage. Although the prov1s-
ional terminus of the section actually
taken in hand would not be farther in
land thai Mangoase, 40 miles from
Aocra, it Is hoped the line will event-
ually be extended to Kumasi.
Little interest has been taken In the
development of the different countries
situated on the West Coast of Africa
until quite recently, but lately their
growth has been rapid, and their real
economic value has been recognized by
their mother countries and others. The
future of all the colonies on the west
coast of Africa depends upon the g
ing of the interior by roads and rail-
ways, and it is predicted that the pro-
gressive developments Will be even
more important in the mex decade
than in the last.-Consular Reports.

REAL PURPOSE IN TESTING FOODS.

The work of the bureau of chemistry
today is fundamentally the same-to
aid all legitimate trade interests in
placing their products on the highest
plane, that the American label may be
In itself a brand of quality, and that
both the American and the foreign
buyer may get what they pay for.
And back of all the legal processes,
the economic results, and the COM
merciai ethics involved stands the mar
with the test tube, the retort, and the
microscope, who must furnish the
data, which make 1t possible to dis
rriminate between high and low quality
goods. and to disclose whether the con-
bents of the can are true to the label or
not.-Dr. H. ". Wiley, in National
Magazine for June.
