Tho Ark Born Man.

Hundreds OF the ancient cleaners Of mis-
cellaneous ourios, legends, myths and ira
ditions give us to understand that Cush
was born on the ark. Others claim that
there was child born on the sacred vessel,
but that 1t was sacrificed to one OF the Wild
beasts, Noah declaring that no person
should leave the ark who had not gone on
board in the regulation manner. The
weight of the evidence AZ 1t Is given by
the Talmudic writers Is to the effect that
Cush is the person referred to by the old
time mystery cleaners when they speak OF

dias, handbooks of ancient history, etc.,

the son of Shem, who was the SON OF Noah,
and he (Bedwig) was born on the ark. y
Herbert's note in "Nimrod, volume 2,
page 81, says "Kybelc is the ark, and as
Cush was begotten In the ark his posterity
