>HEKE Is a man In New York. not
yet grayheaded, and essentially
worldly in appearance. speech.


ton Of one OF the greatest riddles Of the
ages. II is. In brief, that all the rellg-
ions Of the world, from the most modern
type Of Christianity to the prehistoric
worship that antedated Moses by untold
ages. are not only Identical in origin
and in all essential details but have
been recorded by all the peoples Of the
world in the same Identical symbols.
The man is Frank c. Higgins. a clti-
Gen OF the world. now resident in New
York. a fellow Of the Royal Numismatic
Society OF London; past president OF the
New York Numismatic Club, and an au-
thority on coins and symbols. Seated in
his apartment uptown. surrounded by
cabinets and bookcases containing the
trophies OF his research in the form Of
rare volumes and still rarer coins and
curios. he talked enthusiastically Of his
discovery. The mysteries Of the Cabala
and the squaring OF the circle were
made to appear as elementary prob
lens as he expounded the science Of
gematria or the numerical value OF let
tiers and applied its principles to the
Pyramids Of Egypt and the pottery Of

THE obvious question that arose was
as to the manner IN which inns sympoi

sign OF such diverse races ana re-
ligions. l sought the solution IN the
mathematical proportions OF the hgure
itself. hnding that II was derived from
the fact that the RADIUS OF circle con-
stitutes the chord OF an arc OF oo degrees,
and 30 measures Just SIX times arouhu
the inside OF the circle. The geometri-
cal star was formed py merely JOINING
the points at when the hexagon touched
the perimeter OF the circle.
