King Solomon's temple. the ark Of
the covenant. Aaron's rod and the
seven-branched golden candlestick
which stood in the holy OF holies-
these are just few Of the treasures
for which a party of young English.
men are now excavating In Palestine
In the neigaborhood Of Jerusalem.
The majority OF experts are OF the
opinion that these treasures are not
to be found where they are now be-
ing looked for. but the members OF
the expedition have other information
upon which they place reliance.
This Ia a cryptogram. which Is said
TO have been found In the Talmud by
a Finnish engineer and which is
thought to give a clew to the place
where the treasures Of King Solomon
are hidden Exactly what this cryptic
gram IL has naturally been kept secret
by the Finnish engineer. but he has
convinced his supporters in the en-

a good deal OF work has been done
toward a practical demonstration OF
it's accuracy or inaccuracy.

expedition are returning to England,
