MIRACLES EXPLAINED.
Wind Blew the Water Out of the Red
Sea.

Philadelphia. April 1.-Two Bibli-
cal miracles were explained by Prof.
Camden NJ. Cobern, explorer and
archaeologist, who has just returned
from Palestine in an address here.
Professor Cobern visited the oasis at
Kadesh- Barnea, where Moses struck
the rock with his rod and brought
forth water for the Israelites.
He declared that Moses knew of the
presence of the spring and that he
struck the rock to indicate to his fol-
lowers that water was to be found
there The explorer said the spring is
located somewhat below the level of
the surrounding desert and is visible
only for a short distance. The oasis
on which it was found, he said, was
very small and is still held sacred by
the Arabs.
The progress of the Israelites across
the Red sea was made possible, ac-
cording to DR.. Cobern, by a peculiar
phenomenon which occurs once in a
century, by which the wind, blowing
from a certain direction, leaves a por-
ton of the sea bed almost bare. The
Israelites upon their departure from
Egypt the speaker said, could have
reached Palestine in twelve days by
taking the northern route, but they
found this barred by Notifications
Enemies barred them at Sinai and
Suez, which compelled Moses to take
the southern course at the Red sea, he
declared.
