been just about half the size of the tenn ple of Solomon, although there are pas sages in the Scriptures which lead us to think the temple must have been very much larger. The Tabernacle was a movable building. I was about 50 feet long and Is or 17 feet wide. The roof and walls were formed of curtains made Of linen or wool beautifully sewed and fas- tened in places with gold buckles. There were also curtains of goats hair and of , rams wool dyed red. Some suppose the roof of the Tabernacle to have been flat and others that 1t was ridged like tent, with a cube inside about 16 feet square, which was the holy of holies. In the lat ter was the ark of the covenant and the table of the law.
 How Built
 Soonon's temple was planned by Da- vid. and 1t is said that he collected much of the materials. As to Solomon himself, he made bargain with Hiram. king of Tyre, to aid him in supplying the timber and certain classes of the mechanics. Hiram was a Phoenician king.. who lived up the coast and who controlled the for ests of Lebanon. He gave Solomon a con- cesson of certain tracts of cedar and fir. and Solomon sent men in parties of 10000 each to the mountains to cut down the trees. The servants of Hiram aided them, and it is said that they carried the lum- Der to the shores of the Mediterranean, and floated it down to Jaffa, whence it was carried up to Jerusalem, about 40 miles inland. It Is stated that Solomon annually gave King Hiram 20,000 meas ures of wheat and 20 measures of oil as his part of the contract, and that the two kings were associated together.
 The first temple was begun by Solo mon just 2915 years ago, and 1t took seven years to build it. have trans lated some of its dimensions into feet, taking the cubit, which was then the unit of measurement, as 20 inches. The cubit was a measure as long as the distance from a mans elbow to the tip of his middle finger, and it varies from IS to 21 inches. At 20 inches the ground plan of the temple was 66 feet wide and 133 feet long, and according to some statements its height was 50 feet, although one of the roofs rose eight feet and the other 16 above the
 inside walls. There is another place in the Bible in which it Is stated that the height of the porch was 120 cubits, which would make it 200 feet high
 The Temple of Hercd
 This Temple of Solomon had long disappeared before Christ was born It was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar 596 B. e. and new building was not erected until the Jews came back from their captivity at Babylon. This was also destroyed many years later and a third and last temple was erected by Herod the Great IS years before Christ was born. It was in that temple that occurred the scenes of Christ's minis try. It was there that He talked with the priests as boy of 12. and from there He drove out the money changers
 The Temple of Herod is said to have been much finer than Solomon's. It has been described by Josephus, who prob ably had a ground plan of the build ing before him when he wrote and who says that the space which it COW cred was about twice as large as that

On Mount MOri0h
BY FRANK G. CARPENTER.

(Copyright, 1910, by Frank G. Car
 penter.)
 Jerusalem. T WANT to take you this morning to
 the summit of Mount Moriah and A show you the site of Soloman's temple It is on the same spot where Abraham, at the command of the Lord, was about to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, when he was told to desist and shown the ram whose horns were caught in the thicket behind him. It is the place where the wisdom of the boy Chris astonished the wise men; where David, Solomon and Elijah were in the habit of praying, and where, according to the Mohammedan the blast of the trumpet will sound forth at the day of 1udgmcnt The site is sacred to both Christians and Moslems, and 1t may be called the holiest on the face of the globe.
 The geologists say that Mount Moriah is one of the two oldest parts of the world the other being Mount Sinai, upon which Moses received the com mandments. They prove this by the rocks, saying that when the world was thrown off by the sun and floated about in its nebulous state through the ar the parts which first solidlied were the summit of Sinai and the rock which now stands inside the mosque on the top of Moriah This Is also Jewish superstition, the statement being that as the Lord saw the solid earth ris- ing out of chaos He blessed these two spots and said:

 "They shall be great in the history of the human race, which I shall create and upon one of them shall my holy city be built"
 Where Solomon Built His Temple
 Mount Moriah is on the eastern edge of Jerusalem proper It Is just opposite the Mount of Olives and above the Garden Of Gethsemane across the valley of Je- hosophat The wall of the city runs around its slope and it's top is plateau containing 35 acres or about one-sey- enth of the whole of Jerusalem inside the walls The walls partially bound this plateau and in them at the northeast corner of it is the gate through which St. Stephen went when he was stoned to death by the Jews. On the opposite side of the plateau and far down below 1t, Is the Jews wailng place, and hug ging 1t on the west, south and north are the box-shaped limestone houses which form the greater part of Jerusa- lem. U
 In going to it we leave our hotel on Mount Zion and make our way down David street through a horde of pill grims of all colors, races and sexes. We pass the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, 20 through a baZar where men and wom- en sitting on the ground are selling glass bracelets and beads from Hebron. past candle shops whose wares are to be burnt at the tomb of our Savior, and on through a vaulted tunnel-like street which was once the cotton bazaar, but which now sells everything else. At the end of this tunnel we ascend stair way and find ourselves on the plateau now devoted to the Mosque of Omar, but formerly the site of the Temple of Solo, mon.

From this we go up to the Court of the Irael- ites and then to the Court of the Priests, which is now under the great Mosque of Omar It was In the latter court that the open-ar altar for burnt offerings stood, or in fact, the very rock upon which Abraham tied Isaac when he was about to burn him, obeying the Lord,
 Before we examine the plateau itself I want to take. you down underground. There is said to have been seven Jerusa- lems which have been built and destroyed and rebuilt again. The Holy City has a subterranean region, many parts of which have been excavated, exposing wonderful ruins. Right under the tenn pie platform Is catacomb of great tanks. and the walls are said to go down many feet. There are steps at one place and descending them we come into a wilderness of vaults, whose roofs are upheld by pillars and arches of stone. Some of the stone blocks are of enormous size have measured one which Is eight feet wide and 15 feet high. These stones are beautifully laid. They are. closely joined and show mechanical ingenuity in their construction. The pillars are about four feet square and some of them have holes bored through the corners. It is claimed that the vaults were con- structed by Solomon for his stables, and that the holes in the columns were the tying places for the horses. In some of the vaults ar managers, which the guides claim .. long ago. Others

desire to hasten the judgment day, and, therefore. refused. In that way, per haps, l saved the world.
 ''The devil got at this plate one day, so our consular's kavass tells me, and was Jerking out the nails at great rate when the Angel Gabriel caught him and pulled him away. These stories are silly, but they are only a few of many which are told us when we are inside the mosque. Nevertheless, the average Mo hammedan of this side of the world be- lieves them, and we see gray-bearded, lons-gowned turbaned men and white sheeted yelled women praying over these holy places. They kiss the marks of Mohammed's footprints and run their handkerchiefs and beads over the rock. They pray as they do so, for Mohammed said that one prayer here is worth lo0o uttered anywhere else, and he prayed here himself.
 SoIomon's Temple
 The greatest interest of Mount Morlah, however, Is connected with the fact that we know this was the actual site of Solo, mons temple as well as that of the two other temples which succeeded 1t. The first house of God erected by the Israeli ites was the Tabernacle. This was con- structed at the direction of Moses in the desert of Sinai just after he had received the commandments. It is said to nave

say that this stable story is fiction, and that the excavations were made In erecting the temple and the great col umns put up to9sustain it's platform. But, however that may be, the architecture IS wonderful, and it should be considered so now. There are altogether hun dred or more vaults and the mighty stones which wall them are so heavy that 1t would be impossible to handle them at the present time without the use of machinery.
 Guarded By Mohammedan Soldiers
 But before we go farther, I must tell you about the escort which guards us as we move about this great Christian shrine. Like the rest of Jerusalem, it now belongs to the Mohammedans, and is one of the places which Christians are not permitted to visit without the permission of the Turkish governor of the city. This have gotten through the American con- sul The governor has also given me a Mohammedan soldier and the consul has sent along his chief kavass, the two to act as our guards. The soldier has "a. sword at his side, and the kavass Is armed with a scimitar and an ebony club, finished at the top in a knob of silver as big as my fist. The kayass is one of the major-domos, or soldiers of the Amer ican consulate. Our consul has two of them. and they accompany him wherever he goes upon state occasions. They are tall. straight Syrians, more gorgeously clad than Solomon in his glory. They have vests covered with gold embroidery, coats with long sleeves and trousers Of the zouave order, each leg of which con-

One fact, it seems 10 me, should

1t is a future menace and a present

traffic conditions have placed upon all

local demand is feeling the touch of
the transportation situation and will in

not been a corresponding growth in
the facilities for transportation.
For months past it has been i'm
possible to get freight shipments de-
livered promptly if these have to be
transferred at any of the central mar
kots or principal terminal points. The
flood of business that rose to such
dangerous height in 1907 is piling up
again, with the additions made by nat

will add in increasing ratio to these
difficulties as well as to the losses they
involve. The only probable relief from
