Ancient skxscrapers.

Numerous conflicting estimates have
been made of the height of the tower
of Babel, but one fact never has been
denied and that Is that 1t was a sky
scraper. st. Jerome in his common
tary on Isaiah says that the tower
was already 1000 PAGES high when
God came down to stop the work. A
pace is about two and one-half feet;
therefore 1000 PAGES must be 10000
feet; consequently Babel was twenty
times as high as the pyramids (Which
are only about 800 feet. Father Cal
met says the tower was $1,000 feet
high and that the languages were con-
founded because the architects were
COMPOUNDED, as they did not know how
to bring the building to head. More
over. 1t Is understood that the Chinese
language Of today was originally the
same language as the high German.

Mr.. Jefferson, Robertson poured out

A Pretty Custom.

South American lovers have pretty
custom. 1t Is well known that when
the petals Of the great laurel magnolia
are touched, however lightly, the re-
suit is brown spot which develops in
a few hours. The fact Is taken ad-
vantage Of by the lover, who pulls
magnolia flower and on one Of its pure
white petals writes motto or message
with a hard, sharp pointed pencil.
Then he sends the flower, the young
lady puts 1t in a vase of water, and in
three or four hours the message writ
ten on the leaf becomes visible.
