The Age of the Patriarchs.

Some have not hesitated seriously to as
cribe to our forefather Adam, the height of
nine hundred yards, and the age of almost
thousand years But the accurate and ra-
tional investigation of modern philosophy,
has converted the supposed bones Of giants,
found in different parts of the earth, into
those Of the elephant and rhinoceros and
acute theologsts have shown that the chro-
nology of the early ages was not the same as
that used at present. Some, particularly
Hensler, have proved, with the highest proba-
bility, that the year, ill the time of Abra
ham, consisted only Of three months; that
it was afterwards extended to eight; and
that it was not till the time of Joseph, that
it was made to consist of twelve. These
assertions are, in certain degree, confirmed
by some of the eastern nations, who still
reckon only three months to the year; and
besides, it would be altogether inexplicable
why the life of man should have been short
ened one-half Immediately after the flood.
l,would be equally inexplicable why the pa
trarchs did not marry till their sixtieth, and
even huudrelh year; but this difficulty van
shes when we reckon these according to the
before mentioned standard, which will give
'he twentieth or thrtieth year; and, conse-
quently, the same periods at which people
marry at present. The whole, therefore, ac-
cording to this explanation, assumes diff
ierent appearance. The sixteen hundred
years before the flood will become four hun
dred and fourteen and the nine hundred
years (the highest recorded) which Mathuse-
Iah lived, will be reduced to two hundred
an age which is not impossible, and to which
some men in modern times have nearly ap-
proached.-I Dr. Van Orden.

Would it not be wise in time for passen-
gers on steamboats, TO satisfy themselves OF
the facilities afforded them in moment of
danger by fire, collision or storm? Although
the Local Inspectors grant no Certificate OF
Inspection to steamers carrying passengers,
until they are satisfied they are provided,
amongst other things, with a metallic life
boat, suitable floats for deck passengers,
with steps from the lower to the upper deck,
and life preserver for each berth in the
CO a0ins, yet they may be SO pla ced on board
that they may not be found or not be acces-
sible when wanted. To inform passengers
Of what they have on board to rely on, the
Local Inspectors have had cards struck, to
be conspicuously placed in the cabin so as
to be read, viz, Notice TO Passengers /:
Life Preservers will be found hanging up in
the rooms, or under the head of each bed
They are adjusted by slipping the arms
through the wire rings, similar to putting
OH jacket, and bucking the straps across
the breast Th. life boat and floats are to
be found on the hurricane deck. The doors
and blinds can be lifted off the hinges and
make good life preservers; also the cotton
mattresses.

The old story, that no creature can live
on or near the Dead Sea, is exploded. The
last traveller in that region, French SGrant
writes as follows: From the summit of
the mountain which we have just described
lhis strange sea, which all writers describe
as presenting the most dismal aspect, ap-
peared to us as a splendid lake, glittering in
the sunshine with its blue waves gently
breaking on the sands Of the softest beach
Through the transparent water appeared a
white tint, which enlivened the shore. We
guessed al once that this appearance was
owing to the salt crystalizcd under water.
and, when near, we find that our con lecture
is right. Are we now to be convinced that
no living thing can exist on the shores of
rha Dead Sea, as has so often been repeated ?
We ascertain the contrary fact the very
moment we touch the shole. A flock OF
wild ducks rises before us and settles on the
water out of gunshot, where they begin
sporting and diving with perfect unconcern.
As we advance, beautiful insects show
themselves on the gravelly beach; rocks are
hying and screaming among the rent cliffs
of the steep hills which border the lake.
Where. then, are all those poisonous va
pours which carry death to all who venture
10 approach them? Where? In the writ
ings Of the poets, who have emphaticaliy
described what they had never seen. We
are not yet five minutes treading the shores
of the Dead Sea, and already all that has
been said of it appears as mere creations OF
fancy. Let US then proceed fearlessly for
ward, for, if anything is to be dreaded here
certainly it is not the pestilential influence
of the finest and most imposing lake in the
world."-[ Home Journal.
