Nothing in Europe or Asia has eyer
been quite SO like the sprIpring up

middle west as is the growth today
of new towns in Siberia, Except that
the tide is moving east instead OF west
the movement has many parallels to
the wonderful migration which won
the west for America, There are how
ever, two striking differences, The
first is that the pioneering is compar-
atively luxurious compared to the
American movement, while the natives
instead Of being swept aside are be-
ing absorbed by intermarrlage with

The ten-day journey up the Irish
river from Omsk into the Promised

Old Testament are identified by the monks and
by local traditions. There is peak called JaDal

from which Moses witnessed the worshippng OF
the golden calf by the children of israel IL is
small peak, giving excellent view OF large
plain which might very well have been the place
where the Israeltes INDUCED in their ldolatrous
festivities, as described in Exodus:
And 1t came to pass as soon as he came nlgh
unto the camp that he the calf and the dane

the the tables out of his hands and brake them
beheath the mount
And he took the calf which they had made
and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder
and strewed ii upon the water, and made the
children Of Israel drink Of it,"
The peak where Moses is reputed to have wit
messed this scene is part of the same group
where the leader of the chosen people received
the Ten Commandments from heaven. The local
traditions assigning sites for all these ancient
occurrences seem very reasonable.

Scholars hold that the original Gospel of st
Luke was in Greek. The apostle was physician
of Greek descent and his gospel gives evidence
OF scholarly attainments. Early chronicles state
that the manuscripts of st. Lukes gospel was
one of the treasures given to the monastery by
the Emperor Justinan in 527 A. D. The build
ing contains numerous representations of the
apostle writing his gospel, and these appear to
have close association with the foundation of
the establishment.
The library is known to contain about 500 an
cient volumes filled with manuscripts in Greek,
Arabic, Syriac and other languages AS one Of
these great volumes may contain hundreds of
manuscripts, the wealth of the library can only
be guessed at. Among its curiosties is very
ancient complete manuscript of the Psalms, writ
ten on its leaves in microscopic writing
This monastery is the oldest continuously in
habited building in the world 1t was founded
by Justnan In about 527 A. D., and has been
occupied ever since. 1t is surrounded by walls

Nashville.
Chancellor John Allison handed down
an opinion in which he upheld w. O.
Farmer in the suit brought recently in
an attack on the constitutionality of the
interstate antiiug bin passed by the last
/ Legislature. The court holds that a per-
son may order liquor without limit Tor
/ his own use; that a carrier may not be
compelled to give information concern
ing shipment, and that a consignee may
not be required to sign a statement as so
disposition of liquor received. The court
does not 90 into detail on fairgrounds on
which the. ant-iug bill is assailed. The
chancellor overru'ed the motion 20 d $
miss the bill and an appeal to the sd
preme court will be taken.
If the supreme court uphods the chan
cellor the way will be opened for beer
shipments for legal use into the state
The chancelors conclusions are:
First-That a citizen OF Tennessee
may order from without and receive
within the state such intoxicating liqu-
ors for the use of himself and family
residing with him without limit
Second-That the carrier of the intox-
icating liquors receiyedl~Without to be

information required of it, in that part |
of the act of the Legislature of the state |

Third-That under the provisions of

signee lin Tennessee) for interstate ship
ments Of intoxicating liquors may be re-

lit on intended to be made of such in

Land for Prison.


Westover farm of 2,312 acres is now
the property of the state. The deal was
closed when Prison Commissioner James
s. Beasley said the word agreeing to
pay to the administrators of the Baxter
estate the round sum of S196,520 In
addition to the farm itself the state gets
by the deal full and ample equipment TO
operate it, and this important adjunct
is thrown in, saving the state not only
delay in stocking the estate, but a sum
estimated at between $25, 900 and $780,
600.
Westover farm lies just west of the
prison, behind the present. farm of 1,120
acres. 1t is situated in what is known
as RobertsOn's Bend, and around three
fourths of it flows the Cumberland
river, natural barrier against escape,
which will serve practically the same
purpose of wall Embraced in its
scope are about 1,500 acres of fertile
bottom land, while the remainder is in
fine state of cultivation, producing
abundantly of the crops that have been
grown upon it.
