the list OF birds. Then follow swallows
and ravens.
All this agrees with the account OF
inc building and voyage OF the ark as
gwen In the Bible. except the order
IN which the birdR.are named.
The order in which the birds are
mentioned agrees with the story Of the
ueluge told In another Assyrian tablet.
OF which. however. only n fragment
was found. This was deciphered some
years ago by George Smith. In IL the
sailing OF the ark Is mentioned with
out the details as to lts building. which

scribed. The story there tells how

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

He left the craft and made llbation on
the mountain which appeared above

to the Babylonian narrative was Mount

According to the tablet "Tam-zI and
hi wife and the people were carried
away TO be gods"
II is pointed out by archeoioRists
that the list found in the tablet that
is being declphered now does not an
pear to assert that two specimens OF
every living animal form were 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.

est width. II had on its top a block
house builded OF great rafters OF fine
woods. This deckhouse was $50 Gu
bits long, and 800 cubits wide. and $50
cubits high.
Thus. using the Egyptian cubit for
a basis OF measurement, the dimen-
sions OF the ark were: Length over
all, 1886 feet; width or beam. 7O5.2O
feet; deckhouse-length. 1880 feet:
width. 67O.SO feet; height, 25s feet.
The Celtic and the Oceanic are 70i
feet long. 20 and 6S feet beam, respec-
lively. and so feet from keel TO deck.
The ark. therefore. n II noated along
side OF either OF these two ships would
hide them completely. The top OF It's
deckhouse would be much higher than
the tops OF the masts OF the big liners.
While no record is given Of It's weight
there having been no system of esti-
mating the sizes Of vessels by Tonnage
or displacement In those days, II Is
evident that the ark must have dis
placed far more water than did any
modern vessel.

the tablet the ark would have drawn
80 much water that Il never could en-
ter New York harbor, even In the high
est tide, when there are thirty-six feet
OF water clear. This fact serves 90
give a graphic conception OF what the
extent OF the deluge must have been.

slons OF the ark, goes on 10 describe

A remarkable discovery has been
made in the British Museum during
the slow course OF decipherlng the
eunoiform inscriptions on earthen tab
lets found In the ruins OF the library
OF Asurbanlpal the Magnificent. King
OF Assyria from G6S to G26 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 enumeratlng the
animals that were carried on It TO
save them from the deluge.
This ancient record predating even
the ancient Asurbanipa's reign by no
one knows how many centuries. or
even tens OF centuries. treats the mat
ter not as legend, but as history.
According TO the dimensions given
In the record. the hull OF the ark was
almost exactly twice as long. 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
Dig ships when In dry dock. tower

The deckhouse alone OF the ark ac-
cording 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 bulls, for It
alone was 400 feet longer than either
OF these ships are over all.
The description OF the ark as given
In the tablet depicts II as having been
a huge houseboat 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 eubIts
in the tablet. II is assumed that the
oubit used there is the old Egyptian
eubit, which, as Is shown by old meas
uring sticks found in Egyptian tombs
Is 2O.64 Inches. The Hebrew cublt
used later was slightly different. There
has been no positive agreement as to
Its exact length. However, the differ
ence, II any, is 30 slight that It will
not affect the figures measurably.
