GEOLOGY AND THE DELUGE,

Professor Frederick G. Wright, Of the
Oberlln college, has yentured a sugges-
ton as to the order IN which the vari-
Gus sections OF the earth were settled
by human inhabitants. He thinks he
sees way whereby the Scripture mar
ratiye and the deductions OF scientists
can be harmonized. on this point
It appears that, while travelling In
Asia, the professor made some investi-
cations and found the geological evil
dences Of a vast deluge in the region
where the Bible locates the ark after
the food. In McClure's Magazine he
speaks about his Investigations, and
sets forth his theory He believes man
came into existence in central Asia, at
time when glacial ice covered North
| ern America and western Europe.
From that point he spread westward
to the Atlantic seaboard, and eastward
to the Pacific coast, whence he passed
over TO Alaska, and by degrees found
his way TO the Atlantic coast But
| during The closing stages Of the glacial
period, the rapid changes very likely
extemnated the race.
In Asia, however, the changes allud-
ed TO We're more slow. Yet, toward
the close Of the period, there were 100
years especially mentioned in the Bib'e
as time Of warning) In which the
movement was accelerated to such a
degree that the rising waters gave
point to the preaching Of Noah. Dur
ing the last 81 days OF this period the
catastrophe eliminated In the facts
specifically related in the Book OF
Genesis, when the reverse movement
began and cleared n space near Mount
Ararat on which the ark could rest.

start under more favorable conditions"

RESOURCES Of PALESTINE.

Concerning the industrial resources Of
Palestine. the following data are given
by the Baltimore Sun:
Palestine's exports and imports are
improving, though last year they were
less than in 1899. Her industries have
always been chiefly agricultural. Form
erly the Promised Land eXcelled in
corn, wine and oil. AS respects corn.
II does not keep to It's ancient promise,
but the wine and oil are still of i'm
portance. Melons were once a famous
product. and to these now the orange
is added Its Jafta oranges and It's
grapes at present figure largely in trade.
Southern Palestine Is occupied largely
with German cOlonists, who manufac-
ture wine on scientific principles. The
vineyards have modern machinery UNI
foreground cellars and the other require
ments OF twentieth century wine maxi
ing. At Richon-le Sion. according to
the London Standard, there are cellars
that store |, 100000 gallons Of wine, not
TO mention large quantities forwarded
to Hamburg. A light claret and dry
white wine of fine quality are produced
here, while at SarOna variety OF wines
Is produced. All these wines of the Holy
Land excel, II Is said, the common
French and Italian wines. There IS
an excellent prospect, says the stand
ard. that the vineyards Of Palestine
may once more he OF note. as In the
olden days. Many parts of the land
seem 10 be naturally adapted TO grape
growing. although the industry has for
long been neglected, partly, perhaps be
cause the Koran frowns upon the vine.

and bore punches Weighing ten or

walls lust as they were for centuries
before the fall Of Jerusalem. But In
those days the culture OF the vine was
far more general than now; II extended
south OF the boundary OF judah into
the region possessed by Simeon, and the
late Professor Palmer tells us how he
saw. even in the arid Negeb, or South
Country. the signs Of former vineyards
The revival Of the ancient Industry in
this and other fruits Is largely due TO
the Jewish colonies which have been
planted by the liberality OF there
wealthy coreligionists, and the success
OF their efforts at once to help their
own people and 10 make Palestine again

congratulatlon"
The steady though slow, redemption
Of Palestine Is one OF the notable pheu-
omena OF the present time. There is
no reason why that country, under
modern government, should not sus'
tain a population larger than 1t had In
the DAYS Of David and Solomon. And
there is, moreover, no reason, why the
Zlonists should not in time realize more

PEACE OR WARP

The dispatches from the seat OF war
In South Africa tell OF peace oyertures
through General 8otha, who Is said to
be In communication with President
Kruger, appealing TO him to sue for
peace. They also tell Of heavy fighting
not far from johannesburg, with severe
losses on both sides.
There is nothing improbable In the
statement that General Botha IS ex-
erting himself in favor Of termination
OF hostIlitles That conservative Boer
leader must long ago have realized the
futilty Of continued armed resistance.
But il is remembered that once before
he was represented as having negotiat-
ed for peace while afterwards II was

that the terms offered were not accept
