WAS 1T A HEBREW LAMs-cHoP?
A Scrap of Bone From the Mortar of
the Treasure City Pithom.

This little scrap of bone upon my
writing table is about the most I'M
promising fragment one might any
where find. 1t would now puzzle an
owen to tell from what animal it
came. 1t was picked out of the NOR
tar between the layers of brick in the
walls of the chambers at Pith-
ON. one of the Egyptian cities which
Israel built. 1t has been Dramatically
sealed up ever since it was placed
there There is no possibility that it
could have gotten into the wall at a
later time The bone was intact wien
picked out of the mortar, easily rec
oenizable then. This fragment is all
that is left of the bone out of a lamb
chop.
But who ate that lamb-chop3 The
Egyptians did not eat mutton. They
did not keep sheep. The priests taught
that mutton was unwholesome food.
So the business of keeping sheep
among them was like the keeping of

Fire Started in No. 3 Tenement.

The alarm sounded at $50 a, Nj from
Box %, located on Washington street,
opposite st. Auggstine's church. John
Sylvia, a resident of the block, who
was rot working in the mill, was the
first to notice the fire, which originated
in No. tenement, hired by Arthur
Regos.
Regos and the other occupants of
that tenement We're at work and the
fire, which had apparently been smoul-
daring since they went to work in the
morning, had gained much Roadway.
Sylvia sounded the alarm. The room
in which the fire was first seen was
on the extreme southwest end of the
building. The fire is believed to have
originated around the chimney, al
though a story is current. which can
not be verified, that a live coal in
some ashes which had been emptied
on the floor in the Regos tenement.
was the cause.
The fire had not been under way 10
minutes before it was raging fierceiy
in the southern portion of the block
and smoke was pouring from every
window in the building.
The firemen We're greatly Eandi-
capped from the start by lack of wa

In zero weather, with strong north
east wind raging, the Augusta fire de-
partment. from $50 A. NJ, to 1926 F.
NJ, fought one of the most stubborn
and serious fires that it has had had
to contend with for many months. The
fire resulted in the complete destruc-
ton of Mil Block Sc on Cumberland
street and rendered co people homeless
and obliged them to seek shelter as
best they could.
The water is obtained through a g.
inch main at the hydrants in this To-
eal!tY and it was nearly 20 minutes
after the fire alarm sounded before it
was possible for Chief Buckley and his
men To get even small streams of wa
ter on the flames. Even then the low
v alter pressure prevented the fighting
Of the flames to the best advantage
until after the arrival of the steam
u city of Augusta.
Not only was Block Sc totally ruined
~ the flames, but Block 80, which is
only few rods east of it, caught fire
on he roof number of times. Tie
flames on that building, however were
extinguished by the active work of
the frcmen, coupled with the assist
ance Of the volunteer bucket brigade
from the Edwards mill.
The two blocks are owned by the
Edwards Manufacturing Co. and the
ole destroyed was valued al about
$4,000. The building was insured, but
only few Of the occupants had any
Of their personal property and furni-
ture insured. The entire fire less will
exceed $4,000.
The occupants of the building We're
Greeks and Portuguese and PRACTICAL
~ all OF them were men and employed
at the Edwards mill. The men who
roomed in the building, when they
heard that their property was endan-
gered, rushed to the scene of the fire.
Others of the mill employees followed
and did what they could to assist in
fighting fire and saving furniture.
Many of the occupants of the block
saved a portion of their furniture by
Juggling it from room to room and
throwing it out of the windows. 1t was
a sorry sight to watch some of the
men attempt at the risk of their lives
to save their seant belongings from
the flames, which We're raging about
them. One Greek cut his hand severe
ly IN an attempt to break the glass
out of the window that he might get
his furniture out of the room.
