TO syria he stopped at Constantinople
with the Sultan Abdul Hamid. who
gave him a permit to do about as he
pleased. AS the Kaiser travelled he
nattered the Mohammedans the
christians and the Jews. He was alive
to every possibility, and he tampe
MADE in Germany upon every city he
visited. In Damascus he laid 2 golden
crown and a boquet of artificial flowers
on the tomb of Saladin the famous
sold1er who fought the Crusaders: and
about Jerusalem he built hospitals and
schools and started a great sanitariuro
Here at Baalbek the Sultan gave him
carte blanche and he has erected in tho

inscription in German and Turkish tes-
titying his regard for the Sultan and
MS pleasure at visiting the ruins.
shortly after leaving he sent German
scientists and they organized an army
OF natives and put them to work ex-

laid down a railroad track, and by
means of dirt cars they have carried
away mountains Of earth and debris.
They have used modern machinery to

Tor the first time given us an ADEQUATE
view of these most wonderful temples.
The Story OF Baalbek.
But first let me tell you something
about the origin Of the structure anu
the god whom they commemorated.
The Arabs claim that this is the oldest
city Of the world. They say that
Adam lived here, and that it was be-
tween here and the Mediterranean
that Cain killed Abel. One of Adams
1avorlte residences was Damascus, and
Seth lived at Nebi Schitt, a nest in the
mountains. They will show
you where Noah was buried and the
town in which Ham lived. They also
think that Nimrod reigned in this
when the ANGELS called upon he threw
the holy one in a blazing furnace from
which he came out unframed. They
located the Tower of ISABEL at Baal-
bels and believe hat Nimrod built
it. Another legend states tina Abra-
ham reigned at Damascus and came
here frequently. 1t is also kell known
that solomon had q city named Baal-

mighty pillars are put up in three
blocks, each twenty feet or more in

They are SO placed that each looks
like one solid block and the erection
was without the aid Of machinery.

Christians had erected a church in

After them came the Arabs, who used
the place as a fort, throwing great
round chunks 7of marble as big as a

marble balls inside the temple today.
They were probably cut from the
columns. The Arabs made a mosque
