YIELDS TO MARCH OF TIME
Old Hotel in Quincy, Mass, Associated With Famous Men, Is to Become
 Business Block.

The old Hancock house, situated in City square, Quincy. has ceased to be a hotel. The present owner of the prop erty, Henry NJ. Faxon, Is to have the upper part removed and the first floor converted into a large business block. The hotel has only provided sleeping quarters for a number of years.
 In the days of the old stage coach the Hancock house was one of the leading hotels of southeastern Massa- chusetts and the first place to which travellers resorted for refreshments. Among the distinguished men who have been entertained there was Dan- iel Webster, going to and from his home on the old Plymouth coach. On account of MT. Webster's liberality in dispensing good cheer 1t was frequent ly a long time before the coach was able to proceed on its trip. Mir. Web ster was always generous in his tips to the stable boys and bell hops of those ancient days and history says that he often threw $5 goldpieces to tue scram- bling boys in the hotel yard.
 The present structure was built In 1887, but several years ago the ground floor was remodeled into stores and only the upper part was used as the hotel proper. When Adams academy was in its prime the place was used as a boarding house for students who came to Quincy from other cities and states and were obliged to make their abode in the city of presidents.

PERSIA'S BELT TOF DESOLATION
Legend Ascrfbes Desert to Divine Punishment Visited on King Who
 Foroot His Creator.

At the southern end of the valley in Central Arabia where progress to- ward the Persian gulf is blocked by a broad barrier of sand, lies district called Khar, which was once fertile, and still retains some of its former prosperity. Fl. St. J. B. Philby de- scribes in the Wide World Magazine group of ruins which appear to date back to the medieval times when the country was under the domination of a Persian colony. Close by 1t are the remains of an important irrigation sys- tenn which almost certainly points to a Persian origin, the main point of in- terest about which is that 1t depends on group of three great reservoirs or pools, believed to be bottomless.
 A similar phenomenon exists in 8 district farther south, called the Afiaj, where there are no fewer than seven "bottomless" pools of varying sizes. among which is fair-sized lake, the Mother of the Mountain" which is the largest sheet of water known to exist in all Arabia. It is about three quarters of mile in length by quar- ter of mile broad, and was in its day the center of mighty kingdom. There, according to a legend, once stood the palace and capital of Ad Ion Shaddad, one of the greatest Arabian kings.
 The legend tells that this king built himself a new capital south of the Afiaj district. In this palace he gath. cred together a stable of 2,OOO peer less steeds, bodyguard of 2.OO0 war riors and a harem of '2,OOO maidens. among the fairest in the world. The legend tells that the king forgot his Creator, who visited him with dread scOrching west wind, overwhelming the king and all his glory with waves of blazing sand which to this day covers an area nearly half a million square miles. This territory Is known from its utter desolation as the Empty Quarter"
