BABYL0NIAN DISCOVERIES.

| Herman Hilprecbt, who has been
excavat,ng mounds IN Nippur, said
to-day that he would devote his HE
to decipheriug the $4,000 tablets
found while excavating. He sand:
"The contents of the tablets will
altogether change the ideas of the
world as to the state OF civilization
and knowledge of that early peo-
Pile. 1t will be seen that they knew,
2, 800 years Is. c., that the earth
was a globe, and that their as,rono-
mers took the same view Of celestial
phenomena as we now take.
"Nlppur is, in fact, sixteen cities,
one built above the other. We have,
by no means reached the lowest of
the buried cities. Much Of the Tenn
pie library has been brought here,
and it is now in the museum of the
university here. The temple IN that
early period was not only the place
Of religious worship; it was, also,
the school, the college.

BABY lonan tables went up 10 90.
Their children might have sung 60
times 50 in recltiDg the multlplica-
ton table. Indeed, for astronomi
cal purposes, they carried the table
out to 1900; that is, the result OF
multiplication up 10 1900 TIM
1900 as tabulated. They wantes
TO know at once the result OF large
calculations. They did not want
to be retarded IN their work by
ari,hmetical problems; that was
why they extended the table go far.

have been wonders in our view. Not
only did they have to learn arithmet-

figures, but they also had to learn
two languages, the RAbYloniau aud

cclloquial language, and that in the
