have been critics who did mot hesi-
tate to affirm that Nineveh. as well
as Jonah, was a myth" Having

Professor Townsend leads one on to
see how credible is the recital that
on being thrown overheard "a great
fish (dagh gadhoD was near the ship.
and seized Jonah the moment he
struck the water" He stresses the
fact that the two Hebrew words just
quoted mean simply a great fish, or
sea-monster," while the word whale"
is the translator's word, and he pro-
ceeds:
so far, therefore, as the Hebrew
and Greek words are concerned. the
highest criticism makes it perfectly
clear that the fish that swallowed
Jonah may have been a whale.

any other large monster of the deep.
And even If the skeptic insists that
in this discussion the word whale
should be used, still one need not suf-
fer embarrassment, for while it is
true that the right whale has throat
of small size. the sperm-whale has a
throat sufficiently large to swallow
man without the least difficulty.

BILE tact and fineness. Among her
guests have been men and women of
every nation, with different tastes and
Ideas, but she has succeeded in every
case and sent her visitors away sing

woman of unusual diplomatic pow

There is hardly a senator or con-

isthmus. Government employees. re-
gardless of the salaries paid, were
entitled to all the benefits. There was
no distinction in the matter of food or
service.
Discussing this phase of isthmus
life, Mrs. Goethals said: This sounds
unpleasant to the hostess who is ac-
customed to shroud her catering in
mystery, but it certainly puts the mat
ter on basis of honesty. There are
other advantages that outweigh these
sentimental disadvantages. Chief of
these is the matter of cost, for living
