els, oxen. mules, asses, sheep, goats,
antelopes, and rabbits as the NAM
mais that were 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
gwen In the Bible, except the order
In 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 round. 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-
scriDed. The story there tells how
the Assyrian hero at the deluge, Tam
zi tthe sun of life), floated 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 lie lib
Grated swallow, which returned also.
After another seven days he freed a
raven, which did not return. Then.
arguing that the raven had found that
1T was safe to leave the protection of
tie ark, Tam-zi was filled with hope.
He left the craft and made libation on
the mountain which appeared above
the waters then, and>Yhich, 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 n rrative. 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 "Tam-zi and
hi wife and the people were carried
away to be gods"
1t is pointed out by archeologists
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 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
imals and pets.

est width. 1t had on it's top a block
house builded of great rafters of fine
woods. This deckhouse was $50 Gu
bits long, and 800 cubits wide, and 15C
cubits high.
Thus, using the Egyptian cubit for
a basis of measurement, the dimen-
sions of the ark were: Length over
[ all, 1885 feet; width or beam, 7O5.2O
feet; deckhouse-length 1880 feet;
width, 67O.S0 feet; height, 258 feet.
The Celtic and the Oceanic are 7O4
feet long, IS and 6S feet beam, respec-
lively, and so feet from keel to deck.
The ark, therefore, If it 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 those days, it is
evident that the ark must have dis
placed far more water than did any
modern vessel.
the tablet the ark would have drawn
so much water that it 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 to
give a 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, II
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 deciN, 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.
The work of deciphering the inscrip-
| ton has not been completed, and only
a martial list of the animals that were
| carried has been made out as yet. The
| inscription as far as read enumerates,

remarkable discovery has heen
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 66S to 626 before the
day of Christ.
The new find Is that of 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 deluge.
This ancient record, predating 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. 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
big ships, when in dry dock, tower
eighty feet from keel to lower deck
3 Nv NNNhhOuSS vi INC dlh, dC-
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 hulls, for II
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 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 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 20.64 inches. The Hebrew cubit
used later was slightly different. There
has been no positive agreement as tc
its exact length. However, the differ
ence, if any, is so slight that 1t will
not affect the figures measuTably.
The ark, says the tablet, was 7SS
cubits long and 4l0 cubits in its great
