RIVERS THAT MAKE DAMASCUS
Situated in Desert, Town Would E.
uninhahitable Were II Not for
These Two Streams.

The situation of Damascus Is re-
markable-she stands isolated on al
oasis Of the vast desert which every
where hens her in You may see
from Damascus the sunset frs touch
with purple the low western hills %
miles away. These hills mark the
beginning Of the great desert-beyond
them there is nothing but rolling
waste and the long roads to Palmyra
and Bagdad. The permanence and
prosperity Of Damascus are due TO the
presence of two rivers, which have
converted this spot of the dreary
desolate and uninhabited desert into a
smiling and well watered plain. The
Pharpar approaches only within seven
miles of Damascus, but by means of
canals and aqueducts sends its life
giving waters to the gardens Of the
city. The Abana is the stream from
which the city's main supply of water
Is obtained. Minerva like, it springs
full born from the base of perpen-
dicular rock at Ain Filth, in the heart
of the Anti-Lebanons, and runs q
course OF ten miles Iii gorge, large
river 20 to 80 feet wide and four
feet deep, its waters always fresh and
ice cold casting out branches every
where, permeating every nook and
corner Of the city, until, as one has
said: Literally, there is scarce a
street, bazaar, khan, courtyard or
dwelling house which has not its mar.
BILE or stone fountain constantly filled
with running water supplied directly
by the Abana itself" Thus, the Aba
ma, not fruitlessly wasting her waters
on that thirsty land, saves them in
her narrow gorge till she can fling
them well out on the desert, and ex-
pends all her life at once In the crea-
tior of q single city.-Biblical World.
