Mount Upon Which Moses Received
tho Tables of the Law.
In a wild and desolate region in the
southern half Of the Sinaitic peninsu-
la stands the mount which Moses as
cended to receive the tables of the law.
From its sacred associations this noun

Jebel Musa, the central of the three
peaks, is now considered as best full
filing the conditions described in
Scripture. At its base is the broad
plain of sufficient extent to permit the
encampment of the hosts Of Israel.
The peak itself rises to q height Of
1868 feet, and on its northeastern
slope, at an elevation of about 5000
feet. is the monastery of st. Catharine.
So precipitous is the side of the noun
tain at this point that the only means
of access to the monastery is by a
windlass. In this lofty dwelling place.

monks of the Greek church.
The whole place was favorite of the
Christian anchorites Of the early CEN
turtles, and the rocks are full Of the

There are to be seen here also numer-
GUS ancient inscriptions upon the rocks
which are of great interest to archaeol-
ogists. and one of the best manuscripts
of the Bible was discovered here in

 In striking out the Shackelford good roads feature of the house bill, which provided for federal improvement of highways, the senate committee rec ommon1s an investigation by special commission and provides for no high way improvement until this commit tee has reported.
 The parcels post section is radical ly different from that incorporated in the house bill which provided fslt rate of postoffice government rates for all distances Senator Bourne recommended that third and fourth class mail matter be combined for the parcels post service but the bill makes the parcels post apply only to fourth class matter.
 Senator Obadiah Gardner of Maine launched an attack on the measure and oounseled the senate to adopt the plan already approved by the house. lie declared it would cost more to operate the Bourne parceis l~st plan the first year than to buy out the express companies. He recommended that the properties, contracts and business of the companies be taken over by the government, either by purchase or condemnation and a pos 'dl express system started.
