is the palace of 0mri, enlarged in SUI

be, then, the Ivory house built by
Ahab. At all events. this building is a
Hebrew palace. the first and only palace
of Hebrew king ever found. and likely
to remain unique. and therefore of the
deepest interest to Biblical students. The
palace has now been excavated to an ex-
tent amounting to about 30 feet square.

Moreover. two additions TO the palace

Last August the explorers were re-
warded by the discovery of a potsherd
with writing in the ancient Hebrew
script, Subsequently about rs others were
found. trodden into the floor of several
chambers in a building adjacent to the
palace of Ahab. In another room, not
far from them was found an alabaster
vase inscribed with the name of Ahab's
contemporary. Osorkon III of Egypt.

the reading OF many of the records is
perfectly clear. The script is the same
as that of the SioaHfsdunn inscription,

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES o
!; METALS.
Their Curious and infectious Dlsor-
ders Puzzline to Science.

7. Some years ago scientific men in Rus
Sia were astonished to find that some
bars of pure tin which had lain a long
time i'm a warehouse had turned from
white metal into a pile of gray powder
An analysis Of the powder showed it to
be as pure tin as we're the bars Scien-
lists were unable 10 determine the cause
of this disintegraton. and researches
have been carried on ever since in an en-
deavor to ascertain it. Professor Ernest
Cohen of the University of Utrecht pun
lished the results of his researches in La
Technique i'm 1910 He found that the
disease" was not confined to pig I'm,
but occasionally attacked organ pipes OF
tin and that the same cause, or some
thing similar, produced disintegratlons
in lead and copper and in their alloys.
He was unable to determine the causes,
but found that the action took place only
within certain circumseribed tempera-
lures: that by keeping the tin at very
low temperature for n long time it was
gradually converted into the gray pow
der, and conversely that by keeping thu
gray powder at temperature of about
80 degrees for some time it returned to
the normal white, condition. He found,
likewise that the change in other metals
was due to an alienation from an amor
phous into crystalline condition; but in
his researches. he discovered the most
| interesting fact-that the tin, especially
| might resist the action of the low tenn
perature unless "inoculated" with some
of the gray powder that as soon as the
tin was brought in contact with some of
| the powder. the metal began to swell and
to disntegrate and that the disease"
| extended until the whole mass was
changed; and that the process was
strangely like that of "infection. which
| gives rise to some of the diseases of
plants and animals Experimenting with
other metals, he found that if the product
of their alteration came in contact with
| sheets of copper or lead or polished rolls
or many alloys, the disintegraton com
menced at the point of contact. and
| rapidly extended and that this took place
| at any temperature. Professor Cohen
| recommended that valuable metallic OBJ
| jects in museums, etc, should be care
| fully inspected from, time to time, and
