- of Tennessee was the only man
in American history who ever held
both the rank of rear-admira in
the United States navy and briga-
der general in the United States
army. Appointed a midshipman in
1910, he rose to the grade of lieu
tenant in the navy III 1855.
At the outbreak of the Civil war
he was temporarily transferred to
the War department to organize
troops in his native state. First ap-
pointed colonel of the Second Ten
nessee Volunteers, he was commits
stoned brigadier-genera' in 1862,
brevetted a major-general in 1865
and mustered out n 1866.
Returning to the navy and having
by this time been promoted to the
rank of commander, he became a
captain in 1870, a commodore in
1878 and in 1881 he was placed on
the retired list with the rank of
rear admiral. He died in 1891.
Another Civil war army officer
who had also served in the navy
was Brevet Maj. Gen. William Mel
son who had been appointed a mid
shipman the same year that Carter
had and had risen to the rank of
ieutenant-comnand when he was
transferred to the army. However,
he never had an opportunity to be-
come an admiral, for he was killed
in an affray in Louisville. KY, by
Brig. Gen. J. c. Davis in 1862.
The nearest parallel to Carter's
case is that of Admiral Raphael
Semmes. commander of the famous
Confederate warship, the Alabama.
After the destruction of his ship
by the Kearsarge, Semmes was
commissioned a brigadier-general
by President Jefferson Davis of the
Confederacy and was placed in
command of some batteries at Dan
vile, Va, during the last week of
the war.

Born in New Jersey, Gardner was

ir the War of 1872, was transferred
to the infantry and advanced to the
rank of major and then colonel. He
finally resigned in 1918 and died in
1869.
Although Gardeners scheme for
designating the companies in in

the troops in cavalry regiments

has never been a Company IN

Earliest Hebrew Temple
Was Erected by Solomon

The temple was the religious edifice
of the Jews in Jerusalem. There were
three buildings successfully erected in
the same spot, and named after their
builders-the temple of Solomon, the
temple of Zorubbabel, and the temple
of Herod. The first was built by Solo
mon and was destroyed by Nebuchad-
nezzar about $50 B. C. The second
was built by the Jews on their return
from the captivity (about 537 B. c.,
and was pillaged or partly destroyed
several times, especially by Antiochus
Epiphanes, Pompey and Herod. The
third, the largest and most magnifi-
cent of the three, was begun by Herod
the Great, and was completely de-
