These leather-rimmed goggles appear
TO have been succeeded by glasses Of

the early part Of the last century in my
possession, in the original black fish

ficulty in attaching the waist to the
rim with the necessary firmness.
Hence arose the rims with a rigid
waist and side pieces for keeping the

were heavy and clumsy, whether in

Guilty still remained of making a re-
liable hinge in such brittle msteri.

BAYLONlAN TABLETS.
Two That Are Especially Interesting
From a Social Point OF View.

Two That Are Especially Interesting
From a Social Point OF View.
The collection consists of tablets OF
the Second Babylonian Empire and OF
tho Persian, Greek and Parthian peri
DDS. Two are especially interesting
from the social point of view. One is
the summing up and Judgment in law
suit Of the thirteenth year of Naboni-
dus. A farmer named Iddin-MardulS
had sent by boat to Babylon 4s0 meas
ures of fruit Kurgal-natan, who had
undertaken tho transport, lost part OF
his cargo on the way, and, having adj
mitted that there had been neglect on
his part, agreed to make restitution.
When Iddin-Marduk came to claim the
amount Kurgal-natan avoided him, SO
that the former was compelled TO
bring the case before the court The
boat ownor, when summoned, ac-
knowledged the charge, and was con-
demned TO pay the value of the lost
fruit. The decision is attested by the
seals Of five judges. This curious case
shows that in Baylonia carriage practi-
cally included insurance.

addressed to the crew of boat bound
for Shushan with provisions for the
King. The crew, for reasons not ex-
planned, wanted to abandon the boat,
and tho writer OF this tablet remon-
strates with them, pointing out that TO
desert boat laden with royal proyis-
ions would bo tantamount to high trea-
son. 1t is probable that, If the sailors
had not given way after this remon-
STRANGE, it would have been followed by
their arrest and formal accusation.
There are a great many contracts OF
sales and loans. An interesting one
mo. 2O5) shows that slaves, as well as
lands, .houYs and personal praperty,
were mortgaged 1t also comprises
lists OF various kinds of tithes due to
tho temple of Esagil. OF animals
brought to Babylon for sale, and Of
other personal property. No doubt it
was an inventory made before a mort
gage or bill of sale.
The tablets Of the Greek and Parthian
periods are, as usual, mostly astronomi-
cal. The latest is OF b. G. 91.-Academy.
