Jesus Not Jew by Race.
Professor Paul Haupt of the depart
ment Of Semitic languages at the Johns
Hopkins university, in making the clos.
ing address at the meeting of the
American Philosophical society in Phil
adelphia, caused a sensation by ad-
vancing proof of his assertion that
Jesus Christ was not one Of the He
brew race. He showed that the orig
final inhabitants of Galilee had been
deported in 1873 B. G. by their con-
queror, Tiglath Pileser, to Assyria and
Fredia and that Assyrian colonists
were sent to Galilee, most of them be-
ing Aryans. In 1O3 B. c. the king of
the Jews forced the descendants of
these Aryans to accept the Mosaic law
and become Jews by custom. But their
dialect betrayed their Aryan extrac-
ton.

Noiseless Rifle Tested.

! Noiseless Rifle Tested.
! At New York Hiram Percy Maxim
gave the first public demonstration of
, his newly invented device for render
ing the firing of a gun noiseless. TAX
ing nordinary 80 caliber rife which
had been remodeled to fit his muzzle
device, he fred bullet into a city
directory in the presence of several
persons. Strictly speaking, the shot
was not noiseless. There was a click
Of the hammer and slight smothered
bong, which, however, could not be
heard in the next room. The test was
made in the rooms Of the Society For
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals,
and the officials hope that the new
gun may serve great humanitarian
purpose in the slaughter Of cattle. as
it would remove the element of fear
In the animals lined up behind the one
facing the guns muzzle, and deaths
would be instantaneous.
Is Four Hours Sleep Enough?
Thomas A. Edison tells of an expert
ment tending to prove his theory that
u uu4udl Adu uccOS uOI ukOEe Ludu
four hours of sleep in the twenty-four.
The test involved 100 men employed in
the Edison laboratory at Menlo Park.
For two years he says they worked
on the four hour sleep schedule and
cit did not seem to hurt them" The
only variation in their habits was the
eating Of four instead of three meals
a day, an extra supper being served at
midnight. For the first week or so
the men showed up very tired and
limp, but after that they gained in
mental alertness and bodily agility.
Edison calls attention to the fact that
on this plan the men slept perfectly
when they were in bed, whereas in
the ordinary plan Of eight or ten hours
in bed he believes that most people do
not get sound, dreamless sleep for the
whole period. He also tells how his
wife changed from the eight hour to
the five hour plan with the best results.
He questions the accepted idea that
sleep is required to restore the body.
