Ashton Nebecker came in from Tuba City yesterday. He reports the kill ing of a Navajo Indian by another Navajo last week on the reservation The Indian killed was said 10 have been a witch, and the tribe held him responsible for the continued drought in that section, and il is claimed that the sacrifice of the life of the sorcerer will bring rain, and they cite as an instance of how in the past a long drought was broken by sacrificing a missionary to appease the wrath of the rain god. It is probable that If the enchantment is not broken by ihc death of an Indian a missionary may be selected in ti% vain endeavor to secure the favor of the elusive ram god.-Coconino Sun.

 Bur supposing that this franchise may become valuable during the period for which it is granted, it can only do so by the growth of the town and with its line reaching out to sur rounding mining camps, and stimu- lating them in their development and in bringing them into closer touch and business relations with the city of Prescott, it will prove most i'm portant factor in building up the town and in making itself valuable as a business proposition. In fact. its importance in this direction will be so great that the city might with justice have extended to it the years exemption from taxation which was provided in the charter of 1892, as the pittance which it would amount to would be returned three-fold within a very brief time.

 Another thing which may not b.
 generally understood by our peopl' and which it is well for them to knov
 in connection with these franchises
 as the Republican also brings into tn
 discussion-or rather its attack upol
 them-the electric light and tele
 phone franchise.
 These franchises as originally pre-
 pared were incorporated in on
 general article, and it contained valu
 able and liberal concessions to tn
 city. It was afterwards thought ad
 visable to segregate the franchise
 and present them as two separate an
 distinct documents, which was don,
 and in this manner they were pro
 sented to the city council and passe
 upon by it. It so happens that tn
 concessions it originally contained il the single document are now COT tained in the electric light and telt phone franchise. These concession consist in a reduction of about ont
 third of the price of th street lights furnished the cit. liberal supply of free lighr and free telephones furnished to tt city amounting in the aggregate ; F the present time to over $500 pc
 year, and with the growth of the cit this amount of saving in the city expenses will be still further aug mented. As the Republican sees to group the two franchises togetht in its attack upon them, our citizer . can judge as to justice of the attac a and as to whether the Journal Min o or Republican possesses the greae f ignorance on the subject, and as
 whether the Journal Miner purpose ? is apparently willing that the pro f erty holders of Prescott should g imposed upon" or whether some ut a rior motive not disclosed in its artiC j. lies behind the Republicans atta' ! on these franchises, but the mott - for which can easily be seen by al t intelligent man through the gau l. subterfuge of the alleged interest l. tits friends and patrons"

est width. 1t had on its top a block
house bulded of great rafters of fine
woods. This deckhouse was GO cue
bits long, and $50 cubits wide. and $50
cubits high.
Thus, using the Egyptian cubit for
a basis of measurement, the diinen-
sions of the ark We're: Length over
all. 1.355.36 feet; width or beam. 705.2O
feet; deckhouse-length, l,135.20 feet;
width. 67O.S0 feet; height. 25S feet.
The Celtic and the Oceanic are 704
feet long, IS and 6S feet beam, respec-
lively. and 50 feet from keel to deck.
The ark therefore. if il fioated along
side OF either of these two ships would
hide them completely. The top OF its
deckhouse would be much higher than
the tops of the masts of the big liners.
While no record is given of its weight,
there having been no system of esti-
mating the sizes of vessels by tonnage
or displacement in these days, it is
evident that the ark must have dis
placed far more water than did any
modern vessel.
According to the figureS given on
the tablet the ark would have drawn
so much water that it never could en-
ter New York harsor, even in the high
est tide. when there are thirty-siX feet
OF water clear. This fact serves to
give graphic conception of what the
extent of the deluge must have been.
The tablet. after giving the dimen-
sions of the ark, goes on to describe
the arrangement of the deckhouse.
There was ample room on each side of
the deckhouse for moving about,
space 1920 feet wide having been left
on each side of the craft between the
deckhouse and the gunwale of the ark.
At each end was a great deck, where
the inmates rested during the day. One
may suppose these two decks were sim
liar in purpose, if not in form. to the
promenade decks on the modern liners.

ton has not been completed, and only

carried has been made out as yet. The

A remarkable discovery has been
made in the British Museum during
the slow course of deciphering the
cuneiform inscriptions on earthen tab
lets found in the ruins of the library
of Asurbanipal the Magnificent. King
OF Assyria from Cos to CPS before the
day of Christ
The new find is that of a tablet that
tells in detail OF Noah's ark. giving
exact dimensions and enumerating the
animals that were carried on 1t to
save them from the deIuge.
This ancient record, predatine even
the ancient Asurbanipal's reign by no
one knows how many centuries. or
even tens of centuries. treats the mat
ter not as legend, bat as history.
According to the dimensions given
in the record, the hull OF the ark was
almost exactly twice as lons. and more
than ten times as wide as the Oceanic
or the Celtic. the two biggest ships
in the world to-day. Either of the two
big ships. when in dry dock. tower
eighty feet from keel to lower deck
The deckhouse alone of the ark. ac-
cor~ug to the tablets. was more than
three times as high as that.
So great was this deckhouse that
neither the Oceanic or the Celtic could
accommodate it on their hulls. for il
alone was 400 feet longer than either
of these ships are over all
The description of the ark as given
in the tablet depicts it as having been
a huge househoat in form Thus the
present and common conception of
what its appearance was is identical
with that conveyed by the old record.
The dimensions are given in cubits
in the tablet. 1t is assumed that the
cubit used there is the old Egyptian
cubit, which, as is shown by old meas
uring sticks found in Egyptian tombs.
is 2O.64 inches. The Hebrew cubit
used later was slightly different There
has been no positive agreement as to
its exact length. However, the differ
enCe if any. is 50 slight that it will
not affect the figures measurably.

cubits long and 40 cub.ts in it's great

els, oxen, mules. asses, sheep, goats,
antelopes, and rabbits as the NAM
mails that We're carried. Doves lead
the list of birds. Then follow swallows
and ravens
All this agrees with the account OF
the building and voyage of the ark as
given in the Bible, except the order
III which the birds are named.
The order in which the birds are
mentioned agrees with the story of the
deluge told in another Assyrian tablet
of which, however. only a fragment
was found. This was deciphered some
years ago by George Smith. In it the
sailing of the ark is mentioned with
out the details as to its building. which
have been found in the tablet just de-
scrlbed. The story there tells how
the Assyrian hero at the deluge, Tam
Ii (the sun of life), fioated for seven
days. when there came calm and the
ark touched bottom. Then he waited
seven days and still the waters did not
subside SO he freed a dove. 1t re-
turned. After seven days more he lib
Grated a swallow. which returned also.
After another seven days he freed a
raven, which did not return. Then,
arguing that the raven had found that
it was safe to leave the protection of
lie ark, Tamil was filled with hope.
He left the craft and made libation on
the mountain which appeared above
the waters then, and which, according
to the Babylonian narrative was Mount
Mir
The order of the sending out of the
birds, it will be seen, is different in
the biblical narrative. So is the ending
in the deluge story. The Assyrian
Noah and his family did not become
the fathers of a new world of men.
According to the tablet Tamil and
hi wife and the people were carried
away to be gods
1t is pointed out by Psychologists
that the list found in the tablet that
is being deciphered now does not ap-
pear to assert that two specimens of
every living animal form We're taken
into the ark. There is nothing in the
record on which to found any assump-
ton other than that the animals that
actually were taken were domestic an
finals and pets.

One of His Habits Is Talking to Him
self in She street.
One of the most marked outward
manifestations that the New Yorker
gives of the high nervous tension un-
der which he lives is the habit of talk
ing aloud to himself in the street.
This habit says the Evening Post, IS
one OF the first things that observers
OF street life in New York notice. II
is a form OF nervousness that is due
not on!y~to the high pressure at which
so many New NOG- rs are kept, but

the rush and rumble OF the street is
so great that a man cannot hear him
self think" he speaks his thoughts
aloud. 1t is rarely that a woman is
observed doing this. Sometimes the
man who is talking to himself, if he
is happy. wiz muA:ble only phrases
and half sentences audibly. If he is
angry or deeply concerned. he will
speak steadily and sometimes make
emphatic gestures. But nearly all of
the men who talk aloud in the streets
have their business affairs uppermost
in their minds. and the word dollars
is the one that is oitenest heard.
Downtown. ia the financial section,
this habit of large number of New
Workers is particularly noticeable, but
one may observe it in almost any part
of the town. Ia is is possibly the only
other one of the great cities of the
world where the habit is so noticeable
as it is here. Actors and writer's and

ENGLAND's "WEDDING RING"

on which the cross Of st. George is
engraved. Legend says that this ring
belonged to Edward the Confessor. a2d
that he bestowed it on an old beggar
who asked an aims of him. he having
nothing else at hand at the moment.

lost their way in the Holy Land and

Certain it is that James H., when de-
tanned by the fishermen of SheerneSs
on his first attempt to flee the country
in 1858, contrived to hide a ring, called
the coronation ring" in his clothing.
This was favorite ring of Mary
Queen of Scots, and was sent by her

British Association for the advance
ment of Science Vaughan Cornish read
a paper on the size of waves at sea
lie said that the height of the ocean
waves in deep water far from land had
been determined with fairly concord
ant results by a number of independ-
ent observers, He gave the following
table as the average of the heights of
number of successive waves: Hurri-
cane. 1854 feet, strong gale, 20.64 feet;
gale, 1912 feet; strong breeze, 1898
feet. These values are only about
one-half of the forty or fifty feet which
experienced seamen frequently state to
be the size of the waves met with in
strong gales. The author explained
this by the fact that waves of a larg-
er size probably recur at short inter-
walls, and that it is these which rivet
the attention and are dangerous.
