it Is said merchant ships came from

the Euphrates. and locked opposite
the hanging gardens; these chang

wide flat bridges built with brick
arches over the Euphrates. The ark
itself, according to Sir William Will
cocks, was built at a point a little
north of Babylon. The Flood. Will
cocks also contends, was nothing
more than sudden and unusually
high rise in the waters of the Eli
pirates and Tigris, which over
whelmed the valley of Mesopotamia
and drowned most of the people. He
says also that the Confusion of tom

traditions say that Nimrud, an i'm
pious man, who thought that the sun
was the true god, built this tower to
get near his deity, against whom he
held a grudge. An old Arab Sheik,
with whom I ate MONDAY meal on
the desert below Babylon. told me
the tale of Nimrud, as follows:
when the impious Nimrud had
finished his tower, he found he was
still some way from the sun. He
thought awhile, ami then hit on an
other plan. He built a high plat
form on top of the tower, with pole
in the middle, at the top of which
he tied live sheep. Then he caught
four eagles and starved them till
they were very hungry, when he had
them tied one to each cornor of the
platform-upon which Nimrud took
his stand. The hungry eagles flew
up after the sheep, carrying the
platform with them. When they
reached the highest point possible
Nimrud shot an arrow at the Sun,
where he though God lived. But
God punished him by destroying his
mighty tower"
Many of the Arabs around Babylon
still worship Nimrud and Shaytan,
the Devil. This is one tradition
about Birs Nimrui: other explorers
say the real Tower of Babel was 10
Gated not far from Nebuchadnezzar's
palace, where an enormous square
base of brick, covering several acres,
is still standing. The Birs Nimrud
ruin, they claim, is the site OF the
temple of Nebo, or "the seven
spheres of heaven and earth. "
Xerxes destroyed the Birs Nimrud, it
is said. All this country around Ba-
bylon was once the stamping ground
of many old malefactors famous in
history. Alexander the Great, him
self, for example, ebbed out his mis-
spent life in the palace of Nebuchad-
nezzar at Babylon. Arabs around
here still have traditions about AL
exander, and call their babies Gan
iar," in honor of him.
Queer cats, said to have original
ed in Burmah, make their home with
the German archaeological camp at
old Babylon; they have kinks in their
tails-a short, hook-like effect so
pronounced in the kittens that they
may be hung up by these crooked
tails. One American traveller has
facetiously dubbed them the "cats
with the cuneiform tails" in honor
of their surroundings. A small kan
garoo-like rat is also found on the
desert about Babylon; it travels
across the ground the prodigious
speed, for a creature so small, COW
ering several feet at leap; it trav-
els just like a kangaroo, resembles
one in shape, and is often eaten by
Arabs.

North of Palouse the feet all point

WILL Be HELD IN DECEMBER
Corn and Glover Convention at Grand
Forks Mil Be ef Interest
to Farmers.

The local interests that are behind
the holding of the second annual corn
and clover convention at Grand Forks
have finally decided that it would
be advisable to hold the annual
gathering of this year during the
month Of December, and accordingly
plans are now being laid with that end
in view. Exact dates have not been
decided upon, but it is probable that
the convention will open about Dec.
Is, continuing three of four days.
The state corn and clover conven-
tion was instituted in Grand Forks ap-
proximatedly a year ago.. 1t is an out
had been held in the city for a number
of years with a great deal of success,
and was launched with the idea of pro-
noting among the farmers of the state,
and especially those of the northern
section of Northwestern Minnesota,
the more extensive growth Of both
corn and clover.
"Indications for a very successful
convention this year are of the very
brightest" said Secretary c. w.
Graves of the Grand Forks CONNER
cial club, which organization was di-
rectly instrumental in the founding of
the convention. I'VE have found that
the farmers have taken a lively inter
est in the organization and that bene'
fetal effects have followed the first
convention of this nature held last
year.
sIn view of the existing crop condi:
lions of this year, the farmers are
ever more alive to the Importance OF
corn and clover growing than eve be-
fore. The raising of corn and clover
is but a stepping stone toward the
| stocking OF the farm with cattle, and
then you have your diversified farming
plan under way. 1t is the plan that SC
many prominent farmers of the valley
have adopted with such success that
it will be but a short time, I believe
before every farmer will fully realize
the benefits to be attained by such a
course"
