disc In the time Of Solomon and Is
frequently mentioned in the Old
Testament.
about ten miles from Engedi lies
the peerless natural fortress Of Ma
cada (Sebbeh), first fortified by the
Maccabees, then used as a place Of
refuge by Herod. At the foot Of the
tableland can be seen the Roman wall
Of decentralization and the two Ro-
man camps on citizen side Of the small
ravine.
"The fortress, which is 100 miles
above the sea, has steep sides at about
an angle Of rs degrees and cannot be
approached, except from a connecting
neck called the Serpentine. A more
inhospitable place or n o disad-
vantageous to besiegers could not be
imagined.
Flight miles away Is Jebel Usdum,
a mountain Of rock salt rising to a
height Of 500 feet. IN this mountain
is a large cave which was explored
to the extent Of about 200 yards. at
which point a tapering cylindrical
shaft Of about 20 feet in diameter was
discovered, piercing the solid rock salt
80 feet high, as though through pol
ished marble, evidently the effects Of
the rain.
Great snow white ~stalactites hung
from the ceiling. The approach to this
mountain presents most fantastic ap-
pearances of walls, %buttresses, par
apets, projecting towers, etc, caused
by the stratihcation and lay Of the
salt boulders.
"A little south OF Masada lies the
rich Ghor-el-Mizra. Here and else
where abound the apple Of sodom de.

THOUSAND -YEAR-oLD BREAD

During recent excavations at LJun-
ga, In Sweden, a loaf was discovered
which must be quite 1000 years old.
It has been carefully examined and
has been found to consist OF pea-hour

ter is nothing unusual, for during
many times of sore hardship the
Swedish p%easantry have had to fail
back upon bark bread. made simply
from the bark Of the trees. There are

mote parts Of Sweden who can remem-

WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT

On Friday afternoon at } o'clock Mrs. Horace BemiS entertained with a lovely luncheon. Covers were laid for lweve and a pink and white color scheme was car ried out in everything. On each end of the table were baskets containing a profuSion of pink and white sweet peas, while in the center of the table, on silver pedestal, was mysterious white crepe paper bag tied with bands of pink satin ribbon. From this bag to each cover were satin streamers bearing que sti on marks. The guests were in sus- pense as to the meaning of the question marks and bag, when Mrs. Bemis suggested that all take hold of the streamers and pull. Much to their astonish- ment, with a meow" the 'cat was let out of the bag" in the shape of tiny hand-painted cats announcing the wedding of Miss Irene Royston to Mr. Randolph Hamby on June the 26.
 All gave vent to calculations of surprise and laughter and ex- pressions of good wishes to the happy bride-to be-" who looked her prettiest in a beautiful gown of soft pink marquisette.
 Much fun and merriment were then derived from the witty and appropriate toasts and verses which had been prepared for each guest by their gracious host.
 An elaborate menu followed and all present thanked Mrs. Bemis for a mo s t delightful afternoon.
