There must have been a great
massN of religious literature in exist
ence. There must have been in use
hymns to all the gods, in practically
every cult, for in Nippur not only
Ellil, but most of the other divinities
Of the middle east were w%orshiped.
There must also have been large mum
bers of inscriptions, omen texts, etc,
which are to be classed under the
head of literature. Thousands of these
texts have been found at Nippur, and
we have many of them at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. One of our
staff is now working at the translation
of religious texts. Other volumes EN-.

the date as from 5000 to 5000 years
before Christ. In a collection of an

Lambros there is an artificial denture

the Christian era. Teeth stopped with

In the temple Of Apollo at Delphi
there was, according to Erasistratus,

used In the extraction Of teeth; OBJ
viously an instrument of lead could
have been used only for loose teeth.
In the laws Of the IL tables made by
the Roman Decemvirs In $50 B. G. it
was expressly forbidden to bury or
burn gold with dead bodies, except
when used for wiring the teeth. In the
construction of false teeth recourse
was had by the anclents to bone and
horn; sometimes human teeth were
employed.

Dentistry as 1t Was Practiced by the
Greeks and Romans.

Cicero, in his treatise, DE Natura
Deorum," ascribes the invention of
tooth drawing to Esculapius, third of
the name, says the British Medical
Journal. The first mention Of dentis-
try is found in Hppocrates, who in
several parts of his writings has o
good deal to say about toothache.
Long before the dawn Of Greek civili-
cation, however, dentistry seems to
have reached a high degree Of per
lection. From the Phoenicians the
art found its way to the Etruscans.
AT the international congress held in
Rome in 1900 Prof. Guerini exhibited
several specimens Of dental art which
proved that something very much akin
Of %bridgework was practiced In an
Client italy so efficiently that 1t has
lasted 80 centuries. Artificial crowns
have also been found in Etruscan
tombs. Artificial dentures go back to
d remote antiquity. DIR. Deneffe states

rule Absolutely necessary for the sx
istence OF Safeguarding is: Any
member of the stock exchange can
buy, or sell. between the opening and
closing of the exchange as many
shares of stock as he cares to. With
this rule in force his buying and sell.
ing cannot be restricted to the amount
he Ear take and pay fer, or deliver
and receive pay for, because there Is
not money enough in the world to pay
for what under this same rule a be
bought and sold in a single session.
This is because there have been ar
bitrarily created by these few trick
sters many times nor stocks than
there is money In existence. The
amount Of stock that any man can
sell in one session of the exchange i5
limited only by the amount that he
can offer for sale, and he car offer
any amount his tongue can utter;
and he is not compelled and cannot
be compelled to show his ability to
deliver what he has offered for sale
until after he has finished selling,
which is the following day. You will
ask as l did; Can this be possible?
you will find the answer 1 found. 1t
is so, and must continue to be SO, or
there will be no Safeguarding. Mark
me, for this statement is weighted
with the greatest import to you all. A
member of this exchange can sell as
many shares of stock at one session
as he cares to offer. If any attempt
is made at the session he sells at tc
compel him either before or after he
offers to sell to show his ability to
deliver, away goes the stock-gambling
structure, because from the very ma
ture of the whole structure of stock
gambling the same shares are sold
and resold many times in each session
and the seller cannot know, much less
show, that he can deliver until he first
adjusts with the buyer and the buyer
cannot adjust until after he has be-
come such by buying. If a rule were
made compelling a seller to show his
responsibility before selling, every
member would have every other mem.

on equal terms, by all, no one could
buy more than he could pay for, and
the game, although still a gambling
one, would be fair. A few master

seeing this condition, invented the
system by which the people are ruth

invented was simple, so simple that
for a quarter of a century it has re-

to be experts. No man thought that

who intended to provide for the safe

ture Of the controversy regarding the
Temple library" at Nippud the lit
erary features of the inscriptions are
Of most immediate interest. The
Boundary stone erected under Ne
b~uchadrezZar L., which is under special
consideration, contains a transcription
of "a magnificent and typical Baby
lonian hymn" The stone was found
at Nippur on the northwest side of
the Ziggurat, within the temple area,
by DR.. Haynes, in February, 1896, at
the close of the third Babylonian ex-
petition of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. 1t is a conical block of black
limestone, 40 centimenters in height
and 1872 centimeters in circumference
at the middle. The inscription con
sists of a heading of two lines placed
among symbols at the top, and 1866
| lines of text, arranged in five columns.
The stone is slightly damaged, but
the few lines which have been partly
lost have been almost completely re-
stored from the context. The stone
has several features not found in
other monuments of this kind. One is
a drawing of the piece of land to
which the inscription relates. The
| second is a beautiful hymn to Ellil at
the beginning of the inscription. DR..
Hinke says that "iv is the finest Ellil
hymn which has been found thus far,
fifty celebrating the majesty and power
of the god of Nippur. In some of its
expressions it approaches the psalms OF
the Old Testament"
The inscription recites the historical
| circumstances under which the land
was given to Nusku-ibni, a high digni,
tary of Ekur, the temple of Ellil at
| Nippur, declares curses upon any of
fetal who appropriates the land or
interferes with the rights of the own
err, and offers an invocation to the
| gods and asks them to mete out GER
tain punishments to an offender. The
names of IA witnesses of the grant
are given. The symbols at the top OF
| the stone are outlines of shrines, orna'
mented with a spearhead, a pointed
| shaft, a skepter, a tiara, the head of a
| lion, the head of a vultUre, a scorpion
a five-pointed star, a crescent, a sun
disk, a lightning fork, serpents, a tor
toise, etc.
The translation given by DR.. Hinke
| of the hymn to Ellil is as follows:

texts brought from Babylonia. AS to
the identity of the supposed Temple
library" at Nippur, he said, when in
terviewed on the subject:
you ask if there was a Temple Ii.
brary at NippurA Most assuredly
there was. Nearly 20 years ago DR..
Peters found tablets in the mounds at
Nippur, which he designated as relics
of a library. We have at the museum
many religious texts of the early
period in Babylonian history. But
these are exactly what you would ex-
pect to find, for every Babylonian city
had its temple and cultus, and in con-
nection with them schools for scribes.
This subject, l believe, l have already
treated sufficiently in my book, New
Light on the Old Testament from
Babel
THE advanced state of the systems
of law in those old cities, for instance,
was remarkable. The now famous
code of 'Hammurabi is based upon
precedents, proving the existence of
systems of law long prior to his time.
There may also have been codes even
earlier than his. There must surely
have been in the time of Abraham eX-
tensive legal libraries. Think also of
the wonderful Babylonian system of
writing! We know that the Chinese
have from 10000 to 10000 values for
their written signs. One scholar has
already collected about $4,000 values
for the Babylonian written signs, and
another list is being compiled, which
will, in all probability, contain as
many more. Given these premises.
it stands to reason that there must
have been immense collections OF
documents and books in all the Baby.
lonian cities. Some OF the books must
have consisted of a thousand tablets
each. Of course, there were vast
st%orehouses or libraries to hold them,

What More Could Proud Parent Ask

When Dave Fultz was playing ball a
few years ago he was visited by a
brother, who adored his big, handsome
ball-playing brother, and who was for
aver telling about some instance that
had occurred when Dave was still
cleaning knowledge from school books.
One of the older brothers stories
dealt with the time that Dave was go
ing to Brown university.
1t seems that the big brother and
the father had taken a little flying
trip up to see the future ball play or,
and at this time Dave had made the

May Publish stenoaraphic Report.


1t was intimated to a representative
of the Philadelphia Ledger by a trus-
tee of the university that the board
might yet determine to give to the
public the st%enographic reports of the
hearings in the H%ilprecht matter, held
by it's special committee in 1905. In
this connection the statement was
made that the verdict of the commit
tee generating Prof. HiIprecht was
Isurposely couched in mild language
in order that it might not wound the
feelings of certain members of the
university who had conscientiously
believed that he should be compelled
to answer formally the charges made
by Rev. DR.. John P. Peters of New
York and others.
"As this considerable course has not
won their appreciation" it was added,
IAN entirely different one may be
adopted"
OF course, no official of the univar-
sity will concede at this time that
the board is at all likely to reverse it's
action of 1905 or to take any steps
which will meal the severance of
Prof. Hilprecht's relations with the
institution.
There is said to be a disposition on
the part of the trustees to rely upon
the results of the examination of tab
let's brought from Nippur that has
been in constant progress at the Mu-
scum of Archaeology during the last
two years and a half to obliterate the
unfortunate effect of the revelations of
DIR. Peters, Prof. Prince of Columbia
university, and Mrs. Haynes as to the
real nature Of the discoveries at Nip
pur, in their bearing upon Prof. Hill
precht's publications. 1t is declared
that the translation of the tablets,
which until the beginning of the con
troversy had remained for five years
boxed up in the cellars of the museum,
is yielding results of the most brilliant
character, far exceeding the expecta-
tons to Babylonia.

was no more complex than that I'M
ployed by the robber of old, who took
the pebbles from the beach, marked
them money, and with the money
bought the labor of his fellows, and
by the manipulation of that labor and
by turning pebbles into money he
took away from the laborer the
money which he had paid them for
the labor until all in the land were
slaves of the moneymaker. These few
tricksters said: We will arbitrarily
manufacture these chips-stocks. At
ter we have manufactured them, we
will sell the world what the world,
can pay for, and then by the use of
the unlimited supply we still have we
will win away from the world what 1t
has bought, and repeat the operation,
until we have all the wealth, and the
people are enslaved. To do this there
was one thing besides the manufac-
turing Of the chips-stocks-that was
absolutely necessary-a gambling
hell, the working of whose machinery
would place a selling value upon such
chips; a hell where, after selling the
chips, they could be won back. / saw
that if these tricksters were to be
routed and their System was to be
destroyed, 1t must be through the ma
chinery Of this stock exchange. 1

long have been asses.
From the very nature Of stock
gambling 1t is necessary, absolutely
necessary, that 1t be conducted under
certain rules, Interchangeable, unbrsak-
able rules, to attempt to change or
break which would destroy stock
gambling. The foundation rule, the
