R. Elliott, retired Medford dentist on a round-the-world trip by air. Writing of Mosul, Iraq, the traveler said "Around 700 B. C. the 10 tribes of Israel were held captive In this Mosul-Nlnevah area by the Assyrians, and never allowed to return. There are some pure Jewish villages there today. "The two tribes of Israel were taken to Babylon, but the Baby lonians allowed them to return after 70 years. "Beirut, Lebanon, nestled on the shores of the Mediterranean, is very beautiful from the air. The Mediterranean is almost as blue as Crater lake. We visited the cedars of Lebanon. Inland from Tripoli. Logs from this area were brought down the Mediter ranean coast in rafts to Tyre and Jaffa and taken inland to Jeru salem for King Solonon's temple. Biblos fortress on the sea coast with its 1000 B. C. architecture has cannon balls still lodged in the walls from an Egyptian sea attack in early days. Adjoining the fortress Is an old Roman the ater, a vaulted treasury, a place of sacrifice and an old Phoenic ian city. "Russian archeologists are now exploring the area and have brought to the surface from depths of 30 feet two enormous tomb? or caskets weighing tons. The Russians, as well as the anc ient people, lowered such things by placing them on sand and gradually removing the sand. They raise them by adding sand slightly raising one end and placing more sand under the tomb and repeating. "When not working, men in all these areas play almost con stantly with plain beads. We notice many grown men walking hand in hand. "Baalbeck 1000 B.C. is tre mendously interesting. The kaiser visited here in, 1898 and shortly thereafter Germany took away much of the statuary, which was Grecian, though built by the Ro mans. Here Julius Caesar, Nero id others flourished and fell. "Damascus, interesting because t is the oldest inhabited city in the world, with its street called Straight, St. Paul's Gate and wall and the window from which he was let down in a basket, the house of Ananias, the tomb of John uie Baptist (his head only) and the secret passage from Ana nias house and leading under the street called Straight. "We came south by car over the old Damascus road, mention ed so often in the Bible. A few miles outside of Jerusalem one experiences coming to sea level while still in the mountains. The Dead Sea is 1300 feet below sea level, while Jerusalem is about 2650 feet above sea level. Jeru salem is much cooler than the areas we have .visited. We are staying at the American colony of Jerusalem. "The most popular method in Asia of stimulating large tips ing. Military Order of the Lizards is the fun and honor organiza tion of the auxiliary to the Span ish War Veterans.
