Numerous conflicting estimates have
been made of the height of the tower

scraper. St. Jerome, in his commen-
tary on Isaiah, says that the tower
was already 1000 PAGES high when God
came down to stop the work. A pace
is about 212~feet; therefore 1000 PAGES
must be 10000 feet; consequently Ba-
bel was 20 times as high as the Pyra-
mids (which are only about 500 feet).
Father Calmet says the tower was 81
900 feet high, and that the 1anguag ges
wera confounded because the archi-
tects were confounded, as they did
not know how to bring the building

that the Chinese language OF to-day
