College Gets Old Tablets.

Columbia, Mo, Feb. 6. Frag-
ments of Babylonian tablets of the
first dynasty, dating from Nebuchad-
nezzer (605-561 B. CO. back to
2400 B. c., have been received by
the Missouri Bible College here.
They came to the dean of the COL
lege. Rev. G D. Edwards, from DR..
Edgar j. Banks of New York, form
erly field director of Oriental exca-
vations for the University of Chica-
90. DR.. Banks obtained them from
an Arabian dealer in antiques, who
went to war and was forced by
financial need to sell.
The tablets from which the frag-
ments came were ingeniously con-
trived They were made of clay
and burned, with inscription telling
the number of offerings required for
each day of the month. If the clay
broke inside was found another
tablet with the same inscription.
A third tablet, likewise with a
duplicate inscription, was inside the
second.
