HANGING GARDEN'S.,
A Traveller Describes Those of
Eastern Arabia,'
'The hanging gardens of Babylon,
construeted over 500 years before the
Christian ere,' were reckoned at that
tilt10'0,1nOng til0 Vir011601•5 of the world
A hanging garden is a garden formed
in terraces rising .one above 1310
Otiler, There were rive Oi ti1050 gar-
dens at Babylon each consisting t of
an artificial hitt, 4.00 feet square, the
,sides divided into terraces of earth
resting On stone platforms covered
with gF017e5, avenees and beds of
flowers and provided with galleries
and banqueting rooms. They wore ir-
rigated from a reservoir at the sum-
mit filled with water raised free&
the Euphrates. '
There are to -day many hanging
gardens in various parts of the -world
particularly on mountain sides in
China, water being raised_ in buckets
sometimes thousands of foot to Irri-
gate them. Col. 5, 13. Miles of the
British ,Army has just described the
hanging gardens he found on the
mountains in the interior of Arabia
about sixty miles southwest of the
trading port of Muscat. Visitors
have to cross a stretch of desert to
reach this beautiful region of ver-
dure amid the thirst lands.
One the inland towns is $1101,
aizi perched on the brow of a lofty
cliff which falls to the valley be-
neath. The town is built on so
steep a declivity that the houses ap-
pear to overhang one anotner, the
only comniunicatiou being, by means
of steps leading from. one to another
row of buildings. Just below the
town is a copious spring of pure
water gushing from the rock in suffi-
cient qua,ntities to meet the require-
ments of the inhabitants and to sup-
ply the channels' that ,fertilize the
hanging gardens below.
These. extensive gardens, spread
along the precipitous valley walls,
are the most beautiful feature of
SLeraizi. The whole face of the
mountain. side to a depth of over
one thousand feet is cut into it
parallel series of ledges or terraces.
Owing to the sharp angle of the
slope, the ledges are not over ten to
twelve feet in width. The inhabit-
ants would be glad of greater depth
of soil and the g,arden spots have
been enriched by a large amount of
fertile earth brought to them.
The steep mountain side is almost
barren except for the beautiful strips
of green where vineyards, Orchards
and wheat -fields a,re bearing. '11:1050
curious garderis with their varied
foliage and ripening fruit, grain aad
vegetables form a very attractive
and pleasing' sight. The labor be-
stowed on the terraces would have
been futile without an abundant sup-
ply of water and in this respect na-
ture has been prodigal, the strips of
cultivation being easily and per-
petually irrigated by the moteatain
stream which is led from one ledge
to another and is kept, from over-
flowing by little embankments along
the margin.

RED RAIN' IN ALPS.
It Will sielp to saow Glacier
Movements,
Last March a curious phonorrienon
was observed in the eastern Alps. It
was called the "brood because
above the snow levels there were se-
veral falls of a red sleet or snow.
The cause of this has 'not been satis-
factorily explained, but good use is
now to be made of it. rt appears
that owing to the fall of this blood
ram the layer of snow which fle0111a).-
utated last tvinter has been defined.
by a reddish line. This will be used
as an aid to the inquiry into the pro-
gress of glaciers. Scientific men who
are interested in the question hate
long desired to have a largo area of
freshly fallen snow colored, in. order
that it may be possible to ascertain
the distance which this layer of a
glacier. in- motion 'passes ' over 'in a
year, to observe the deformation and
bend which it undergoes and to un-
derstend whathappens 'to it in pas-
ses, crevas,ses, End the like,
What -has bo done now during
the coming years and decades is to
watch at the crevasses and.seo where
the outcrOp' of the red layer is, and
especially in what relation it stands
to the blue), coloring- of the glaciers.
One of the most difficult questions in
-the theory of glaciers will, it Is hop-
ed, thus be solved.
