It Is expected that Arthur B. Howe ,
president ; former Congressman L. D.
Apsley Bishop John W. Hamilton ,
Warren , B. Ellis , W. E. [ Litchfield and
Adjutant General William ] H. Briglmm
and twenty Massachusetts Freemasons
who organized a corporation ! receive
the project of building a replica of the
ancient temple of Solomon at Jerusa-
. lem , the birthplace of Freemansoriry ,
will begin the work within a year ,
writes a Boston correspondent. The
project , which , originated with Mr.
Howe after a pilgrimage to the great
eastern mecca of all Masons , is in-
tended to embrace subscriptions of $5
from each of the 15,000 Blue lodges
throughout the United States. The
original temple is to be duplicated in
this costly model.
/ The restoratio.n of Solomon's temple
, . . Itself would necessitate first the
, / wrecking of all the buildings compris-
ing the Haramesh-Sherif , but the cost
of this labor need hardly be reckoned ,
since the salvage } would be worth an
enormous fortune to the vender of
curios to say nothing of the valuable
building material that could be used
In the new structures or converted
Into cash. Whether it i } : : would be possi-
ble to rebuild the actual temple as
Solomon built it is a mooted question '
'
Description ! In the Bible.
The sixth chapter of first Kings
Bays :
- ' - - "And the house. when it was in
'
\ building ] was built of stone made
ready before It was brought thither ;
\
so that there was neither hammer nor
ax nor any tool of iron heard in the
house while it was in building. , And
he built tfie , walls of the house within
with boards of cedar , both the floor of
the house and the walls of the ceiling ,
and the cedar of the house was carved
with knops and open flowers. 'All was
redar ; there was no stone seen. " A
lit.tle farther It reads : "So Solomon
overlaid the house within with pure
gold , and he made a partition by the
thains of gold before the" oracle. "

On some points the biblical account i ;
is wonderfully direct and explicit. It
is known exactly how many common
laborers were employed in the hewing
of timbers , how many foremen direct
ed their work , and what price was
paid for the materials that could not .
be obtained in the forests and quarries '
near Jerusalem. Solomon had one ad- ,
vantage that would not in all proba-
bility be enjoyed by the masons who
attempt a reproduction of the stu-
pendous work , especially if they en-
counter the bitter opposition from the
present incumbents of Mount Moriah
that the world anticipates. Solomon
was on terms of Intimacy with Hiram ,
King of Tyre , whose mountains were
covered with such cedar and fir trees
as are not to be found there to-day.

These were the famous cedars of Leb-
anon , and the most skilled hewers of
timber in Solomon's time were the
Sidonlans , Hiram's subjects. The
building materials were prepared at
what was then regarded as a very
great distance , conveyed from the
mountain , sides to the sea and sent
down to the port nearest Jerusalem in
"flats , " and then hauled overland about
forty miles.

anything liftable. It is the duty of
this railroad police constable , whose
official title is "chief special agent , " to
put up his shields , so to sp :1k. at '
every point on a great system and
keep an eye : at long range on a small
army of assistants who run down rO l-
ber bands which infest the road. Thu.s , ,
from Chicago to Texas and California-
the chief special agent of one of the
through western lines is kept busy
catching thieves and sending them to
prison. .
S
A few years ago the business of the
special agents became bo important _
t.hat it was found necessary to organ-
ize an association , with a regularly
paid secretary. Chicago was made the
headquarters because this city is the
most important railroad center on the
continent. To this official are reported
details of the work accomplished by
the special agents of the various rail-
roads. When a freight car has been
plundered the fact is reported and so
also if a brass knob has been .jtOlt > , ! l
from a passenger coach.
John J. Risdon , the secretary of the
association , probably is better inform-
ed concerning the crimes against rail-
roads and shippers than any other { ) e-
son , for it is through him.- as a sort of
a "human clearing house , " that special
agents east and west and north and
south. report cases of thievery. He
has figures covering the extent of dep
redations , but they are not made pub
lic. I
One of the methods in favor with
professional railroad thieves is to
"spot" a box car loaded with a quan-
tity of silk , enter it through the end. :
door at Buffalo or some other point ;
and accompany it on Its journey until
it arrives at a quiet place out in the
country many .miles away where the
grade is heavy , necessitating slow go-
ing. When a place agreed upon : has
been reached the plunder Is tossed out
to confederates in waiting with a team

Until competent architects take the I
matter in , hand any estimate of the
cost of rebuilding Solomon's temple
must be little better than a mere
guess , but certain calculations based
on the biblical account will show , at
least , that -an incredible sum would
be required. Take , for the purposes
of illustration , the single item of the
primary material for thetemple , the
stone and wood , cutting , dressing and
transporting to the site in Jerusalem.
Solomon made a deal with King Hi-
ram to supply the timber and to fur-
nish a number of his own subjects to
help cut down the trees , "for the Si-
donians are more skillful than our
people in cutting of wood. " For the
services of these expert woodcutters
and for the cedar and cypress timber
they felled Solomon paid Hiram 20,000
Olive oil . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 240,000
Wine . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 160,000
Total per annum . . . . . . . . . . $700,000
For the three years occupied in get-
ting out the timber this would amount
to $2,100,000.
lUJ,300Ien : : Employed.
But Solomon added to the force of
Sidonian woodcutters 30,000 men of
his own to work in shifts of 10,000 ,
each shift one month in the forests
and two months at home , alternately.
He also set 80,000 stonecutters to work
in the mountains , quarrying and dress-
ing the stone for the temple , and an-
other force of 70,000 men to serve as
burden bearers , carrying the stone and
timber to Jerusalem. Over these work-
men were 3,300 foremen. There were ,
therefore , 163,300 men employed for
three years in the preparation of the
I KH5TG SOLOMON'S TEMPLE WHICH THE
MASONS PROPOSE TO REPRODUCE.

measures of wheat , 20,000 measures of
barley , and 20,000 baths each of wine
and oil annually. The quantlty of
wheat and barley was each equivalent
to 200,000 bushels , and the 20,000 baths
of oil and wine was each equivalent
to 100,000 gallons. A rough estimate
of the value of these payments at pres-

building materials for the construction
of the temple and in transporting them
to the site.
While , as a matter of course , no
such numbers of men would be re
quired at the present day , it is inter
esting to calculate the cost of these
levies if paid in United States money
at the minimum wages of to-day. Let
;
it be supposed that the timber cutters
and burden bearers were paid at the
rate of $1 per day , the stone cutters
$2 per day , and the foremen $3 per
. ' which the American la-
day. wages : -
borer would sniff at. This would make
the wage bill for the 10,000 woodcut-
ters :

I - THE HALF MOON.
I A reproduction of the Half : Moon the vessel in which Henry Hudson
crossed the Atlantic from Holland and , sailed up the Hudson river 200 years
ago , arrived in New York on the deck of a big freighter and sailed up the
Hudson during the Hudson-Fulton celebration. The vessel was sent over by
Holland as its contribution to the celebration.
It is built of heavy oak timber , with the high poop and long-nosed prow
now seen only in prints of Dutch and Spanish galleons. She is of eighty
tons displacement , sixty-three feet long , eighteen feet beam and draws seven
and one-half feet of water. Her crew consists of twenty men. The vessel
is rigged with hand-woven sails , carries hand-worked flags and is antique
or
enough in her fittings to confuse the best seamen afloat.
Two cannon are mounted amidship on the 'tween decks , whose ceiling
is so low that one has to bend nearly double to get along , and port holes on
either side allow these weapons to be used.
A library , or rather , a book shelf , has been fitted up. It contains the
books which Hudson took with him - a Bible , a prayer book and books of
voyages. A chart Is spread out on the cabin tables , and near at hand are
compass and measuring instruments , sand glass and the rough , nautical in
struments of the time. A gun or two in a rack and a pile of shot and bags
of powder Are shown together with a copy of the supposed cohtract , which

And all this before a stone could be
laid in the temple. Of course. such
figures as these are no definite value :
in estimating the cost of rebuilding
Solomon's temple , but they help one
to a conception of the immensity of
that task.
Solomon was seven years building
the temple' The quantity of gald used
on the Most Holy House-the Oracle-
is said in Chronicles to have been
600 talents.
If the same system was adopted in
the outer part 2,700 talents must have
been required. It is not known ,
whether the "heavy" talent or. the
"light" talent is referred to in the
biblical narrative , and as one is twice
the weight of the other it makes a
considerable difference. The Encyclo-
pedia Britannica gives the weight of
the Babylonian "heavy" talent as 936-
000 grains.
Ornament * nntl Geiisx , Too.
The United States dollar contains ,
approximately , twenty-five grains ,
which would make the value of the
"heavy" talent in our money $37,400.
On this basis the gold used in the
Oracle was worth $22,440,000 ; and that
in the other part of the temple $100-
980,000 or a total of $123,420,000. If
the "light" talent is referred to. the
value of the gold would be just ' half
-
that , or $61,710,000.
This does not take into considera
tion , the value of the gold used in the
golden ornaments including the great
candlestick and the thousands of gold
utensils necessary to the temple wor-
ship. According to Josephus. whose
statements are , however. believed to
be very much exaggerated. there were
100,000 golden vessels , 80,000 golden
dishes for offering fine flour , 60,000
large gold basins for flour and oil ,
20,000 measures of gold , and the same
number of golden censers. Nor does
this statement include the great num-
ber of precious gems which are said
to have been used in the decoration of
the temple , and which some authori-
ties believe equal the gold in value.
But all this is enough to show that
to reproduce Solomon's temple on the
same scale and with the same mag
I nificence would cost some hundreds of
million of dollars and would make a
very large hole in the world's stock
: I of gold.

We all know him-the man who ia I
always "just about to quit tobacco for
good , " but whose swear-off ! never ma
terializes , " the Philadelphia Ledger
says. A veteran smoker was dIscuss-
ing this question the other night. "It's
too bad , " said he , "that so many men
are constantly quarreling with such
an excellent friend as tobacco. In the
strain and hurry of 'modern ' business
life they need the quieting , soothing
effect of tobacco. That is proved by
the fact that though men are always
resolving : to give up smoking , they
seldom ever succeed in doing it. Look
over -your own acquaintances.
"I used to be numbered among that.
unfortunate crowd until I made the-
discovery that there is such a thing as
a rational smoke diet , and that when
once a man puts himself upon ) this.
there is no physical nor mental need
to swear off tobacco.
"This is my cigar diet : After break :
fast and during the forenoon light do-
mestic ; cigars ; after luncheon , if I _
have a half-hour leisure , a small Ha
vana ; in the afternoon , domestic , ci-
gars and after dinner , if i I can sit.
down and have no business worries.
or other mental cares , my favorite Ha -
vana.
Jure of Al-IIuvana Ci ; . : ur.
"If the average smoker only usecr
a little common sense he'd have nc
complaint about cigars. Moderately
used tobacco ' a gentle stimulant , but
too much stimulation , like too much ,
of everything else , is bound to hurt a.
man. Now , the tobacco used in all-
Havana cigars is grown in a rainy cli
mate in a wet , clayey soil that pro
duces a luxuriant , heavy-leaved plant.
It contains more nicotine than any I
other kind of tobacco. The better-
grades of domestic tobacco , grown in.
light , sandy soil , average less than
half as much nicotine. So you can
readily see where the difference lies.
"Years of experience have proved to , .
my 'sati faction that my way is the
only way to smoke. We're living at
a faster rate nowadays. We waut to-
smoke oftener , and to satisfy that
craving with as little injury to our
health as possible we must smoke-
something lighter than a heavy Ha-
vana cigar. Mind , you , I'm not down-
ing the Havana. It's all right In its
place. I'm a worshiper of the Havana
myself , but I realize that it is far too
good to smoke continually. Its only
proper place is in one's leisure hours. ,
Smokh1 - Out of Doors.
"There are a great many men whc.
smoke out of doors. This practice has
no excuse whatever. A cigar indoors
is a pleasure , but out of doors it ia
nothing but a habit. Of course , by
this I do not mean to speak of the
time that a man may be sitting on a
piazza or under a tree at rest. Them
he may light a cigar and get full en- .
joyment from it. The times I refer to-
are when a man is walking or golfing ;
or motoring or taking part in any oth-
er outdoor activity. At such a time
he cannot taste his cigar , and often-
times must look at the end of it to see '
whether it is still lighted. A man
when in the fresh air should take : ad-
vantage of the opportunity to free his
lungs and system generally from the
nicotine that they have accumulated' '
at other times. -
"If a man will avoid smoking at the
times that I have mentioned , and at
the other times smoke only light , mild
cigars , he will find that he has no
longer any quarrel with tobacco
.
There is one other recommendation
that I would make , and that is that
he use a holder instead of putting the
cigar in his mouth. Holding a cigar-
in the mouth brings the delicate mu-
cous membranes in direct contact
with the tobacco and entails a greater
absorption of nicotine than though.
a holder were used. But don't let him-
get the fad of coloring an old meer-
.
schaum holder. The accumulation of
nicotine in this has a far more injuri
ous effect than the holding of the ci-
gar in the mouth. Let him get a
cheap holder-the kind that as soon
as it shows the slightest taint of nico "
tine can be thrown , away and a new -
one used. "
