there is an old cottage, formerly a
country tavern, upon the roof Of which
there is a full grown sycamore tree.

sycamores are growing, found a rest

q professor at the University of Pennsyl.

charge. laid against him of taking in
connection with some ancient tablets
which he claimed to have dug up at Nip

University of Pennsylvania, instead of
having been dug up by the professor, had
been bought by him in various cities of
the Orient and that most of them had
never been near Nippur. 1t is also de-
clared that the tablets were in the hands
