CURIOS ARE PLACED IN PILLAR OF ARCH
It is doubtful if any one building fireplace or monument has as many countries or states represented as has the arch now being constructed over the Yellowstone Trail at Ipswich.
Nearly all the states are represented and many foreign countries. Ernest Beebe picked a boulder out of a glacier in Alaska when there this summer and has put it in a permanent place where it may be seen when Ipswich is hoary with age.
Loren Parmley now in Hawaii sent his father a stone from Siberia and it has gone in. One of the most interesting was given yesterday to Mr. Parmley by H. E. Beebe with the following explanation:
“Herewith is a piece of flint which I picked up about 800 feet from the Good Samaritan Inn on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. This was at the top of a range of hills along the Brook Cherith about a mile from the place where Elijah was supposed to have been fed by the ravens. It is a cinch that it was necessary as I never saw such a rocky and desolate country.”
