TIE TOWER OF BABEL.


History Leaves No Data by which to
Estimate Its Height.
The exact date OF the building of
"Nimrod's Folly" as the Chaldeans
say in abiding to the Scriptural tower
Of Babel tthe Armenians speak Of il as
the Tower of the Confusion of Tongues,.
or the height to which il penetrated
the rareIied atmosphere OF the oriental
plains will perhaps never be known
The date OF the laying OF the founda-
ton of the famous structure is usually
Sc, 1T 2.247 years before Christ. or in
the year OF the food. l0l.
The expression Of the sacred historian
that its top was to reach unto heav-
en- is now generally set down as a
strong Hebrew phrase denoting n very
lofty tower. but not necessarily mean
ing one that would reach TO the abiding
place Of the Lord and his hosts. Proof
that this is probable may be found in
several places In holy writ. The walls
Of the cities OF Canaan are described
by Moses in similar phraseology. The
spies sent out by him returned and re-
ported that the cities Of that country
were great and were walled up to
l.
There is a Jewish legend In the Tai
mud which tells us that God did not
put stop to the building Of the tow
er until after 1t had reached a height
Of 10000 fathoms. which is equal to
nearly twelve English miles.
The sacred historians have not in a
single instance left data upon which
we can base a calculation OF its exact
height and general dimensions. and 1t
is because Of this omission that the
imaginative orientals and other an
cient writer's have given such fabulous
and extravagant traditions concerning
1t. Even st. Jerome alleges from the
testimony Of eyewitnesses who claim
to have seen and examined the ruins
Of the skyscraping shaft that in his
day (born 345 A. d. it was over four
miles high. While considering these
untenable notions 1t may not be out Of
place to mention that other fanciful
writer's make its height range all the
way from a single furlong to 5000
miles in height. See Lawson's Bible
Cyclopedia, volume I, page 259.

The moving picture will be a big
feature in the show side of the expo

the state has its convicts building

to be significant. Originally this eX-
position was designed for the improve.
ment of corn culture but it has been
extended to include the improvement

interests and touches many of the
vital questions in which every Ameri.
can is interested. Twenty-Five states
have this year arranged for exhibi.
tons.
The railroads are doing a share to-
wards facilitating the success of the
exposition. The Central Passenger
association has granted rate of one
and one-half fare for the round trip
from any point within its jurisdiction,
which will include many states. 1t
will make a round trip fare from Chi
cago of only SIS. Many of the roads
are preparing to transport free OF
charge all exhibits sent along their
lines.

of the exposition will be the celebrat-

work in addition to lectures. and teach
in minutest detail the science of the
beef carcass. showing that every por-
ton is good for table use and that
most portions may become as desira'
BILE as the loin or ribs.
This is the third year for the Ma
tionaI Corn exposition, and 1t Will be
far more extensive than it YVES in
either of the two preceding years. 1t
will have greater floor space for ex-
hibits, y larger number and variety OF
exhibits, more awards In number and
value.
Fifty thousand square feet OF space
will be devoted to actual exhibits.
which will include every grain and
grass grown on American. Canadian
or Mexican soil and $4,000 In cash
premiums will be offered. One of the
most valuable single premiums will
be $4,000 in cash offered by James
J. Hill. who will have an active part
in the exposition.
The exposition is characterized this
year for the eminent men back of it.
beside Mr.. Hill, there is w. M. Hayes.
assistant secretary Of the department
of agriculture; DR.. David Starr Jor-
dan. president of Standard university;
Luther Burbank the wizard OF Santa
Rosa: all of whom and many others
distinguished for their special know
ledge, will be present and lecture at
the exposition. DR.. Jordan, for in
stance. will make an address on
eugenics, while Luther Burbank will
unfold some of the intricacies OF his
peculiar science of transmitting, trans
fusing and transferring plant life. He
will make practical demonstrations.
The government this year. has
placed itself squarely behind the ex-
position. Two of its strongest arms
have been extended to support it and
make it success-the Departments
of Agriculture and Interior. Secretary
Wilson of the former and Secretary
Ballinger of the latter, are yielding a
personal cooperation. They have
granted to the exposition use of the
great exhibit Zh1e by these depart
ments at the Seattle-Yukon exposi-
ton. This gigantic display will be

This association, therefore. is car

The proposition Of the beef produc-
