How to Test Cotors,

If the color is solid or with little
white plat sample of it with a strip
of white material. Make a strong soap
solution. Have it warm but not hot.
Rub and squeeze the goods in this for
ten minutes. Rinse in cold water, let
it dry. If the color holds fast, the
water not colored and the strip of
white not stained one may be pretty
sure of the color. To test for light,
expose a piece of material, in both ii
wet and dry condition, to strong sun
light for a week. If the goods do not
show signs of fading it is reasonably
sure they will not do so. If you want
various colors for a cotton rug at
small expense use Easter egg dyes.

Romans Reused the Stones.
The Roman builders would appear
to have largely reused the stones OF
the earlier Phoenicia1 work. The tenn
pie of the Sun itself had "a columns,
II each on the north and south sides,
and ten each on the east and west
sides. On the south side six of these
great columns still remain standing.

is DOT feet by lit feet, and on low
err level. 1t also faced east, and had
a beautiful portico and stone stair
case, nothing of which remains. The
peristyle had AZ columns, ID on the
east and west sides, and eight on the
north and south. These were 65 feet
in height, the shafts being 6 feet 6
inches at the base, and feet s inches
at the top. The entablature was II
feet high, the distance between the
columns and the celia is 10 feet, the

Bonb-Droppinu Balloons

The first bomb-dropping balloons
were humble enough and equally fu-
tile. Balloons had been used in war
as early as the siege of Maubeuge by
the Austrians for observation purposes.
: The first talk of bomb dropping was
in 1912, when the Russians were said
to have a huge balloon for that pur-
pose, but nothing was done with it.
In 1S47, however. the Austrians,
when attacking Venice. sent up paper
fire balloons, which were to drop shells
into the town. But they forgot TO al
low for contrary air currents. The
balloons got into one, drifted back to-
ward the Austrians and bombed them
instead of Venice.

Aleppo, the taking of which city gave
complete control of the Syrian end of
the Bagdad railway and of the i'm
portant port of Alexandr..ta, the best
harbor in the country. a'rom Damas-
Gus the railway to the north traverses
the Beka'a, long, fes.&.e. valley be-
tween the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon
ranges. In the middle of this valley
ON the slope of the latter range is
situated the ancient town of Baalbek
celebrated for it's wonderful ruins.
Baalbek is a small and prosperous
town, large part of the population
being Christian, says Country Life,
and it is the seat of the government
of a province of the same name and
a military center. Ya'kubi, an Arab
writer of the ninth century, speaks of
Baalbek as one of the finest towns of
Syria, and other writer's make allusi0n
to this beautiful spot and it's wonder
full ruins. 1t is spoken of by the geog-
rapher, Nur Kaddasi, as the coolest
place in Syria.
As the name Baalbek, which is
Semitic in origin, implies, it was con-
nected from early times with the wor-
ship of the sun, probably meaning the
city of Baal in the Beka'a, by which
the plain is known. The Phoenicians
here erected great temple to Baal
constructed with colossal stones after
their manner. This was afterwards
utilized and reconstructed in the Crae-
co-Roman period, when the name Baal-
bek took the Greek form of Heliopolis.

Julius Caesar gave it the privileges of
a Roman colony, and later, Antoninus
Plus, in the last part of the second
century. A. D., built the beautiful tenn
pie of Jupiter, and the great temple
of the sun was erected about the same
time. These two temples would ap-
pear to be represented on.coins of the
time of Septimus Severus some thirty
years later, and they carry the in
scription on the reverse. 'COlonia

Great Phoenician MonoIiths.
The great temple of the Sun is
erected on the site of the Phoenician
temple of Baal, and at the western
end of the sub-structure are to be
seen three colossal monoliths which,
with other lesser ones, are placed in
the wall at a height of 20 feet from
he ground level, and measure respec-
lively GA feet, 631a feet and 81 feet in
length, by Is feet in thickness and
about the same in breadth. The
writer notes that they are SO beau
tifully squared and fitted that, al
though without mortar, it would be
difficult to put knife between them.
The quarry from which these gigan-
tic stones were brought is about half
mile away; and there another one,
still larger, is to be seen. This is 68

standing in the way of every interest

spending all their time venting their
own personal spleen at some one that
they didn't like. Finally the tax pay
ers, under good leader, revolted and
put them out of office to stay, and St:
