OF ABRAHAM

The New York World says: Professor
Morgan, the archaeolOgist has succeed
ed in deciphering the records of King
Kammouradi of BabylOnia, a contem-
porary of Abraham. Law books on
clay were discovered by a French eX-
ploration party digging up the ancient
city of Sazu, and these form the prin-
cipal attraction of the archaeological
exhibition al the Grand Palais, which
opened May 18th. Parts of the code de-
ciphered by the professor deal with
criminal, civil and commercial law.
Here are extracts from the fundamen-
tai laws of the ancient Babylonian
kingdom:
The man who rObs a house afire
shall be thrown into fire" The bur

body. He shall be buried on the spot
where he entered the house" He who
destroys a fruit tree shall be fined ten
pieces of silver" He who drives an

shall be fined half the worth of the ami
NAL" "A woman inheriting a house,
field or orchard from her husband must
not be molested in her possessions,
which she shall be free TO leave to her

ment." He who enters into contract

ART EXHIBIT.

The water colors at the Kilohana
spring exhibit this year comprise nu-
merically, more than third of the ex-
hibits sent in. As a whole the display
is very interesting and well varied the
subjects ranging from local studies to
sketches made by members of the lea
que in far off Holland and Italy.
Mrs. Helen Kelley is easily the ablest
exponent of the aqua tints in facility
and breadth of technique combined
with quality of tone and a conscientious
aim and result of Interpreting nature as
she sees it, Her work is that of the
professional rather than the amateur.
Candidly speaking, her most important
picture, Where the Lilies Grow" while
one that would attract general atten-
ton, owes much of its popularity to the
subject 1t is conscientiOuSly exc
cuted piece of work with much pleasing
color and careful drawing but for clear
tone, direct breadth of technique the
smaller Hut in Lahaina" discounts 1t.
Mrs Keley's California Popples' are
not as happy as most of her flower stu
dies, the Mariposa lilies are much
prettier.
Mrs. Ida Won Holt contributes some
we'll colored, vigorously handled sketch
es from Italy which are very pleasing
and truthful color notes of a trip tC
the queen City of the Adriatic. PHILIP
II. Dodge shows some interesting color
combinations in Venetian views and
endeavors not so successfully to impar'
an artificial atmosphere of primary
hues to misty scenes labeled as Dutch
Mrs. May Mott-Smith Bird has sew
eral local studies which are distinguish
ed by free handling and strength OF
color. "Hamana Bay" is perhaps the
most and "Afterglow'' the least sue
cessful.
Miss Edith d. King with several small
studies shows that her facility with the
brush is not limited to ceramics or de-
signing for topographic effects Ala
media Oaks" is very cleverly handled II
a broad style and several other Calitor'
MAN sketches show up very faVOrablS
indeed. Some burnt leather work by
the same artist is very decorative il
effect, the Hawaiian Girls Head" be-
ing particularly effective.
Miss Nettie King, proves her acquain
tanceship and mastery of the details
of kiln burning and china painting II
a display Of ceramics both by hersel
and pupils that deserves very warn

ISLAND
LEPER COLONY

In a letter to Rev Canon Weymouth
of Lahaina, Hospital Sergeant Fred X.
Grape of the British Army, who after
serving CALAMITY in the field is now in
the hospital service at the Robben ISL
and leper colony, thus describes the
conditions there. He says: II want to
describe life in the leper colony, this
island, which is about ten miles from
Cape Town. There are at present in
the colony Al white males, SO white fe-
males, 1862 cOlored males and 10 color
ed females. Persons of all ages are in
cluded in this classification OF the
white males, all are Beers except one
Frenchman who is under observation,
diagnosis of case not yet certain. The
white women are all Beers. There
was one English woman, but she died
recently. The prevalence of the disease
among the Beers is attributed to their
habits and ways of living, filth and
kindred things, and close intermar-
riage.
: THE buildings of the colony are on
| the cottage plan. The cottages for the
colored patients are built to accommO-
date from sixty to seventy. In the
| building for white patients, those who
are supported by the government, are
sleeping rooms, kitchen and dining
rooms. In the dining room is a piano
and shelves for books, which are in
| Dutch and largely on religious themes.
For pay and military patients there
are three lines of single room cottages.
Pay patients pay three shillings a day.
Food is supplied on a liberal scale.
| Wines and liquors are on the doctor S
orders. Tobacco and pipes are sup
piled by the government.
Patients disturbing the peace by
fighting are brought before a mags-
trate and imprisoned or fined. Visitors
are allowed to come on pass, on Mon
days, arriving here at IL a. m, and
leaving for Cape Town at $3.50 p. m.
For employees and military there is
a splendid library, for which the fee is
a shilling a month. There is a hall
where the ladies residing on the island
give theatrical performances; a cricket
ground and a band which gives con-
certs every Saturday.
"On Tuesday at the lunatic asylum
in the village there is a dance. As ID
churches, the Church of England has
a church in the village for people out
side the leper compounds, that means
employees. I'm the compounds, male and
female, there is a Church of England
building with services by curate re-
siding here. Patients of Presbyterian
Wesleyan and Reformed Dutch faith
have preachers to visit them, and ther,
is a Roman Catholic service once &
month "
