Numerous conflicting estimates have
been made Of the height of the tower
~ Rabel. but one fact never has been
denied. and that is that il was sky
seraper. st. jerome. in his commen-
tarv on Isaiah. says that the tower
was already 1000 PAGES high when God
came down to stop the work. A pace
is about pa feet; therefore 1000 PAGES
must be 10000 feet; consequently Ba-
bel was % times as high as the Pyra'
mids (which are only about 500 feet)'
Father Calmet says the tower was ST.
600 feet high. and that the languages
wore eonfouuded because the archi-
tects were COMPOUNDED. as they did
not know how to bring the building
10 a head. Moreover il is understood
that the Chinese language Of to-day
was originally the same language as
the high German.

BANKRUPTCY IN LIVERY.
Carious Laws That Were Enforced
Centuries Ago in England and
Scotland

At one time in England and Scotland
bankrupts were compelled 20 wear a
distinctive dress. This was a result Of
enactments passed at various times in
Scotland from the year 1906 to 1858.
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The Edinburgh court Of eessions speci-
fed the dress to be Of parti-eolor, one
half yellow and the other brown, some
thing after the style Of the dress now
worn in English prisons by the worst
class Of prisoners. those who have at
tempted to escape OF been guilty Of
murderous assaults on officers, The en-
sctment also provided that the bank
rupt should be exhibited publicly in
the market place OF his town for q
period Of two hours. and then sent
away. condemned 70 wear the dress
until such time as be had paid his debts
or some one else had done il for him
Although this was a period OF laws
which can only be described as fero-
eious, this law was such an outrage on
public sentiment that in 1888 Il was so
Tar repealed that the wearing OF inc
dress was only compulsory in eases in
which fraud had been proved, or, Gu
riously enough. il the bankrupt had
been convicted Of smuggling. The
same practice was legal, but not gen
orally in force in England down 90 the
year 1896. The idea was, Of course,
TO warn persons who might have given
credit that the bankrupt was not able
to pay. but popular sentiment soon
recognized that IL was wholly unfair
10 impose such excessive penalties on
a man who might have become bank
rupt through no fault 81 his own, and.
as usual. when the Law became con
trary 20 public feeling, il ceased 20 be
operative.
