Science For the Dcluge,

For many generations now there have
been two schools VI thought IN Christian
countries concerning the deluge III the
Scriptural narrative. Men Of science
have not hestated to affirm, on evidence
deduced from studies IN geology. that
the food must have been merely local
Devout Christians maintained that the
inspired history must be literally inter
preted-in other words, that the waters
covered the whole earth. So persistent
have been the learned men that latterly
II might almost be- said the weight Of
public opinion, though Christian, accept
ed the theory If local flood.
There are not wanting, however, indi-
cations pointing TO a change Of faith on
the part Of students. Professor Prest-
witch has read compendious treatise be-
fore the Royal society Of Grea, Britain,
in which he sets forth his belief in the
reality Of the deluge He states that the
superficial deposits Of loan. gravel and
sand have been the result Of human
operations throughout ages, but there
is remaining drift, residuum.
which cannot be explained save by the
action Of deluge. This residual drift
was often carried by the subsiding wa.
tiers beyond the ancient cliffs, and in it
are found tho ruins Of animals overtaken
by the tide, land shells and fiints shaped
by man of the paleolithic age. By like
arguments Professor Prestwich extern
siyely marshals the witnesses in support
Of his faith.
Professor Prestwich' S view is held also

other eminent men.-New York Herald

THE OLDEST LOCK.
a Formerly Secured One OF the Doors o.
n Palace Of Ninsveh.

Palace OF Nfnevens
The very oldest lock in existence Is
one which formerly secured one OF the
doors of palace Of Nineveh. 1t Is 81
gantic affair, and the key to 1t, which Is
as large as one man can conveniently
carry, reminds one of the Scriptural pas
sage where the prophet makes reference
to such instruments being carried on
the shoulder. The exact words Ill the
massage referred TO are, "And the key
of the house Of David ! will lay upon
his shoulder.
This enormous key to the lock from
Nineveh is nearly 81 feet in length
and Of the thickness Of four inch drain
tile. II was found Mt the end Of ruin
ed chamber, where large wooden door
had probably once stood, the gigantic
brass hinges and heavy bars being still
in fair condition, though somewhat cor
roded. This relic of the olden times has
but few points of resemblance to the
keys of modern manufacture, or even to
those Of the early part Of the Christian
era. The tubular idea had never been
thought ont in those days, but the key
is fearfully and wonderfully made, be-
ing equally as intricate a piece Of ma
chinery as the lock in which it was
used. A great many Of the bars and
pegs in the lock are believed to have
been made Of wood. as their places are
now empty. The notches and pegs in
the key. however, show that there We're
corresponding pegs and bars in the lock
at one time. The great lateral iron bars
at the end Of the key, with their COM
plicated series Of notches, crossbars,
bumps, etc, are proof that the lock was
once similarly provided. This being the
case. il is reasonable to suppose that at
one time the door TO that palace could
not have been opened until the key had
been inserted and the impediment 70
the drawing back of the bolt removed
by raising up so many bars and pms
which had fallen down into their places
upon the key having been withdrawn.
Similar locks and keys were in use II
