Where Adam and Eve Lived.

With big piece of chalk Prof Rogers,
of Dickinson College, Cariise, Pa, recent
ly designated upon a blackboard the
probable location Of the Garden of Eden
His audience was composed almost ex-
clusively Of members of the local Metho-
dist Conference, and the scene of the
lecture was Wesley Hall, where the con-
ference holds its regular meetings.
Prof Rogers disputed the theory that
the Garden of Eden as described in the
Mosaic history is simple legendary, and
by means of this map he located the
abiding place Of humanity's first parents
near the ancient site of Babylon. He
said the word eden" was of Assyrian
derivation and indicated a lowland, thus
proving that the Garden of Elem" sig
nifed the garden of the valley" Geo
graphical researches by my many Of the
most eminent historians were quoted IN
the most interesting relation and the
changes in natural forms were pointed
out with precision and emphasis that
enlisted the undivided attention Of the
audience. He said the physical condi-
tons of the region are exactly as describ-
ed in the Bible.-Philadelphia Times.

However, ! am now speaking rather OF
the effect on ones self of the habit Of
having secrets, and Of doing things slyly.
It comes to having by and by sort of

to being slandered, or to deserving the
disspprobation of respectable people.

What Is a "Carat 2"


The word @carat" comes from the Abys
sinian name of bean. 1t corresponds in
weight with . certain species of East
India bean and was originally used only
as weight, in the same ma7ner 4s our
word grain comes from a gain Of
wheat, and has also its average weight.
The exact relation Of the can't TO the
grain, Troy weight, is in round numbers,
as 4.60S to LIS or, in others words l.lS5
carats are equal to 4.60s grains Troy. By
division of the last number by the first
we find for the weight of carat 3.Ss
grains very nearly. The carat is the
weight by which jewellers sell diamonds.
The carat is now only used for weighing
precious stones and pearls, because the
grain is too small.
In ancient times It was used as the
unit of weight for gold, but is now, on
account of the greater abundance Of that
precious metal, superseded by the ounce.
In regard to the alloy ofgold, it has been
accepted to take 2i carats of gold or SO
grains, very near, as the standard of pure
gold, and to call gold in which 20 carats
in "a earsts are pure gold, gold Of 20
carats; when three-fourths is pure, or is
earats in "a carats, it is called IS-carat
gold. So in regard 10 the alloy Of gold,
the word carat has become similar TO the
expression of a percentage, with the diff
ference that "A is substituted for 100. So
1s-carat gold is identical to 70 per cent
fine; I2-earat to 80 per cent fine, etc
That this manner of estimating the value
is kept up is simply due to the cOstom oi
following the quodecimal system in max
ing alloys, which naturally drives Us tC
the expression, 20, 50 or 90 per cent
when speaking Of the fneness Of tht
N ost valuable metal.

He Bought the Sermon.
