Cheap Paint

There are 1000 cheap paints and
dozen really cheap ones.
That double word cheap is the cause
of wasting more money than good paint
costs two or three times over.
Cheap paint is good pant; there is
no other; no other is cheap.
The two words sound alike but their
meanings are opposite. Cheap costs
double. Cheap is Devoe.

of the rock will be used in the dam itself.
In fact Everything which Is torn out Of
the ground will be put to some use That
Is one of the tricks Of the engineerlns.
The sand Is put into a house 30 by 10 feet
in size at the base and this feeds auto
matically into a mixer which takes in
the correct amount Of stone which tho
crusher has prepared. Hundreds of tons
of material for the construction of Golfer
dams, etc can thus be turned out each
day, and later on the material for the big
dam will come from this and similar mix
crs.
Along the shore of the river, at safe
distance, are located the dynamite cellcrs
at another place is the headquarters. and
all along the banks are various BUILDINGS
put to different uses. The railroad with
its locomotives and crew creates az great
an impression as anything.
DAM WILL REST on BED ROCK.
The dam, when completed, win be IS feet
In thickness at the base and will be about
30 feet in height. 1t will rest on nothing
but bed rock and at present two or three
holes are being dug down a distance of 20
feet or more that there may be no leakage
through any scamY or porous stone. For
the more expcdont removal of this grade
of rock, a cable is stretched from one
bank to the other and immense hods are
operated on it by means of steam on
gine. The cable is strong enough to cas-
lily handle 15-tou load.
No eXcavatinG excepting what is neccs-
sary to the erection of the dam IS done
above the point, the main work in this
line being below for the spillway, etc.
The power house, which will he below the
road. will he of concrete and brick, and
about 80 feet long. Tho exact dimensions
Of the fumo, etc, have not yet been de-

placed with a cement structure. The leak

CEDARS OF LEBANON.

That there still exist cedars of Lebanon
in the groves which supplied wood for
the building Of Solomons temple and for
David's house. is n fact known to few
persons Occasionally an onterprsng
tourist will brave many discomforts to
visit them, says n writer In the London
Graphic, but the general public is not
aware of their existence.
To jewellers in Syria, whore forests Of
tall trees do not exist, these majestic
cedars naturally excite admiration A
modern Syrian writer says that they are
undeniably the most lofty of all the vege-
table kingdom. The fact is that they are
about so feet high, which Is rather more
than the height of the trees of an aver
age forest. They are Justly renowned
tor size Of their trunks, the 9Th Of the
largest being AZ feet. Their foliage is
! exceedingly thick, brown as seen from
beneath, but when viewed from the hill
side he upper surface resembles green
lawn studded with cones standing erect.
In other parts Of Lebanon there are
other cedar groves. II in all, but the trees
are by no means 80 fine and majestic
as in the grove under notice. and which
is known as ARR or Rub or The Cedars
| of the Lord Here one has a suggestion
of what the Lebanon was in ancient
times, when the now bare peaks and
mountain sides must have been covered
with these trees
The grove stands on hill 6Sl5 feet
above the sea, and the view is magnih-
cent. Looking west Tripoli can be SEEM
and the blue waters of the Mediterranean
while to the east rises Mt Hermon'
capped with snow With the Jordan valley
beyond.
The Christian natives attach sane
tity to these historic trees, and here Is
held an annual feast, to which pilgrims
flock from all directions. They also serve
as a delightful summer camping place
