LA great many people entertain the idea
that fhe progress Of mankinda has been
invariably from barb arism to civilization.
In what follows, Chief Justice DAILY
shows in Popular Science Monthly that
people did know something four thous-
and years ago:
"From one of those books, compiled
after manner of our modern encyclo-
p@dias and the compilation of which is
shown to have been made more than
1000 years B. c., it has been acertained,
what has long been supposed, that Chal-
dea was the parent landof astronomy; for
it is found, from this compilation and
from other bricks, that the Babylonians
catalogued the stars, and distinguished
and named the constitutions; that they
arranged the twelve consultations that
form our present zodiac to show the
course of the suns path in the heavens;
divided time into weeks, months, and
years; that they divided the week, as we
| now have it, into seven days, six being
days of labor and the seventh day of
rest, to which we have derived our word
"sabbath," and which day, as day of
rest from all labor of every kind, they
observed as vigorously as the Jew or the
Puritan. The motion of the heavenly
bodies and the phenomena Of the wealth.

to mark the movements of the heavenly
bodies the water-clock to measure time,

spots. on the sun, a. fact they only
could have known-by the aid of tele-
scopes, which it is supposed they possess

down of the rising of Venus and the fact
that Layard found O. crystal lens in the
ruins Of Nineveh. These aHbricks" contain
an account of the deluge, substantially
the same as the narrative in the Bible,
except that the names are different.
