Birds Interest English Cabinet.

The water fowl in St James's Park
seem to exercise a quiet fascination
over cabinet ministers. Lloyd George
frequently stands by the lakeside ad-

cans, and discussing their points Of
interest with his young daughter. Oc-
casionally John Burns patronizes the
birds with more than a passing glance
as he strides along the graveled paths

helaht of Tower Of Babel.


The details of the great Tower Of
Babel, the remains Of which utilitar.
ian Turkish contractors removed from
the face of the earth, are insured to
us by the finding, recently. of the clay
tablet or book, describing the tower
at Babylon.
1t was George Smith, the Assyri-
ologist, of the British Museum, who
had In his hands the inscription, but
died before being able to complete his
examination Of 1t. His description Of
the tablet was often quoted, but no
one knew its whereabouts till 1t came
to light again in the hands of the Rev.
v. Scheil.
After descriptions Of the temples
and shrines, the writer turns to the
Tower itself. This Is the Towers de-
scription:
One hundred fifty feet square, IS

One hundred thirty feet square, 30
