BACKS UP THE BIBLE
STORY OF DELUGE
Ancient Tablet is Found
Sustaining 1t.

Philadelphia, Pa, March 23.-The
discovery of fragment of a cunei-
form tablet believed to be of the ne
Rod 200 B. c., bearing an account OF
the deluge described in the Bible and
agreeing with the narrative in Genesis
was reported here by Prof. H. v. Hill
preeht, of the University of PennsvI-
yania, at the home of Provost Har-
rison.
This fragment, which has just been
de2iphered, was one of those excavat-
ed from the lowest strata Of the Oldest
part Of the ruins of the temple library
OF Nippur and was brought to this
city by the French expedition sent out
by the University of Pennsylvania
in 1899. 1t is of unbaked clay and
measures 2 "a inches at its greatest
width and 3-S inches at it's greatest
length
AS translated by Prof. Hilprecht the
narrative contained on the tablet is as
follows:
q declare unto) thee that the con-
fines of heaven l will loosen, a deluge
| will make and it shall sweep away
all men together; but thou (the Baby
Ionian Noah) seek life before the del
ug3 cometh forth; for to all living be-
ing, as many as there are, 1 will bring
overthrow, destruction, humiliation
- : build great ship. X
total height shall be its structure. 1t
shall be house boat, carrying what
has been saved of life 4 with a
strong deck cover it. The ship whicLl
thou shalt make bring into it the
beasts of the field and the birds Of
heaven and the creeping things, two
Of everything instead of number 4
and the family
The Semitic dialect in tie inscrip-
ton and certain grammatical pecul-
iarities of the text show, according 10
Prof. Hilprecht, that it was written
some time between 2137 and zoos B. c
The oldest tablet heretofore known to
exist containing an account of the
food was the ''IIayard deluge tablet"
in the British museum, but the latter
is dated only from $50 B. C.
The 'Layard tablet" agreed with the
details of the Biblical narrative only
in a few particulars.

MINNESOTA'S BIG
FUND FOR SCHOOLS
Holds About 100000 Acres of Land
Beside.

Holds About 100000 Acres of Land
Beside.
st. Paul, Mimi, March 23.-S. G.
IVerson, state auditor, who has recent
ly made thorough inspection of the
school lands granted to Minnesota by
congress in 1851, many years before
the state government was organized,
has compiled figures and made calcu-
lations that are astonishing even to
Minnesotans who knew in a general
way, that the state school fun d was
gigantic. The figures show that the
fund now amounts to more than $21,-
100000, and that the state still holds
approximately 100000 acres of un-
sold land. These remaining lands
have great wealth, fertile soil album
dance of growing timber, and the
value of the iron deposits is, as the
auditor says. almost beyond compre-
hension."
I'VE have already 1000 forty-acre
tracts of land, under mineral con-
tracts in the iron-bearing districts"
Mr. Iverson reports, from which /
believe We will receive an average of
100000 tons per forty, or a grand to-
tai of 1000 100000 tons, which, at a
royalty of twenty-five cents a ton
the contract price, will produce the
sum of $25O,O0O,OOO. This princely
endowment will be realized within fif-
ty years, or before the state is a hun
dred years old. OF this sum I esti-
mate that the school fund will receive
$l7OOO,O0O, the university fund $780,
100000, and the remainder will go to
the swamp-land fund, the income from
one-half of which goes to the school
fund and the remainder to assist in
maintaining our state institutions.

SQUARE WITH THE WORLD
WHEN YOU REACH 3;
Says Boys Deyiltry Prevents Spine
Curvature.

Winsted, Conn, March 23.-In an
address on Hygiene Living" given in
the Gilbert school, DR.. E. H. Arnold, of
New Haven, lecturer at Yale Medical
school, said that curvature Of the
spine frequently results from sitting
in a certain position in school.
>E. ght girls are thus afflicted to one
boy he said, and he attributed this
/ 10 TIE boyish spirit Of deviltry, "
which keeps the boys constantly Shift
ing about, While the girls, always anx-
ious to please the teacher, assume a
position and keep it, She suffers
from having been good said DR.. Ar
mold. The average child of parents
in ordinary circumstances, he went
on, represented an investment at one
. year of $50 to $500, and at fifteen
or sixteen years $4,000. These esti-
mates are not in regard to the value
to the parents in affection, nor is the
actual expense to the community in
schools considered.
at eighteen" Dr. Arnold said, "the
average child begins to keep himself
and at thirty-five, the results of his
labors considered, he is practically
square with the world Thus, a
person dying under t!tat age goes out
CT the world indebted tc the commun-
ity. Consequently the community
should leave nothing undone for the
protection of its children, for if the
results are not what they should be
the community is the loser.
