It is announced in the Revue des Gull

Were, Of Algiers. that alcohol may be-
obtained from several African plants,
namely, the carob, the asphodel. the
squill and the alta. The fruit Of the
carob is a pod with very sugary con-

ON its surface often ferments Of itself.
Dry pods yield Al per cent. OF sugar

alcohol, or 40 or so per cent, of alcohol.
The alcohol is of good quality, but can
not be freed from disagreeable smell

is as harmful as it is displeasing.

The alcohol is not OF as high grade as

discoveries OF all, the finding Of the
library OF the ancient Temple OF Nip

eco having at least two stories and
containing many evidences OF what
might be called modern conveniences.
The library tablets throw strong
light on how people lived at Nippur

supposed 70 be living in the Garden
Of Eden. Some of the tablets are
dictionaries. architectural plans,
building lists. grammatical exercises,
contracts, bills OF sale. histories and

they form q complete record of the
time, but they indicate that the CIV
