The Fire Worshipers.

Azerbaijan province in northwest
ern Persia. is the home of the descend
ants of the Ghebers, the ancient fire
worshipers of Persia. The whole cOun-
tryside is admirably adapted to the
propagation of a fire WOrshiping creed,
for earthquakes and caverns vomiting
fumes from subterranean cOnfagra-
tons abound in the neighborhood OF
TabriZ. One Of the most remarkab BILE
caverns in the world is that of Secun-
dereah, whose character resembles the
Grotto del Cane of Naples. 1t gives OF
noxious fumes. which at certain times
are certain death to man and beast.
But the most astonishing place i'll
Azerbaijan is the ruined city Of Takht-'
i-Suleimaun, or Solomon's temple. The
city stands on hill $50 feet high, with
a wall of thirty feet embracing the
crumbling remains Of temple and
shrine. In the midst is a lake of
deepest azure Although most OF the
buildings are of the Mohammedan pc
Rod. there is one striking mass which
has been identified as the temple OF
the fire worshipers.
