connected with such a view without

which is described with illustrations
in the August Popular Mechanics
magazine, is similar to one recently
installed at San Sebastian, Spain, for

The galloway is to be about ITO feet

elevation of about $50 feet above the
whirlpool. The car, which has al.

DELUcE BEFORE MANS FALL
sumsrian Inscription Reverses the
Accepted Order Of Bible
Narrative.

According to q translation Of re-
Gently deciphered inscription on one
of the Sumerian tablets Professor
Langdon Of Jesus college, Oxford, says
the deluge preceded the fall Of man,
according to The Scientific American.
The tablet, which has been almost
completely restored, contains six fne'
ly written columns Of about two hum
dred and forty lines, most OF which
are intact. It begins by describing
the land of primeval bliss. which IT
locates at Dilmun, an island in the
Persian gulf. In this paradise dwelt
mankind, whom Nintud, the greatness,
with the help of EMIL had created.
After the deluge this king is called
Tagtug, the divine. And this Tagtug
lives in a garden, Is himself garden
er, and the wise Enki reveals unto him
wisdom. The Greek historians, too,
preserve this egend in the story OF
Cannes, who rose from the Persian
gulf to teach men wisdom In primeval
times. And so Tagtug, as in the He
brew history of Noah, plants garden.
names the trees and plants and 10

tree, an herb of healing par excellence.
OF this plant Tagtug was not to eat,
for thereby he would obtain eternal
life. Mankind until this time possessed
extreme longevity, but not immor'
tally. Tagtug on his own initiative,
takes and eats of the forbidden tree.
He is cursed by Nintud and becomes
prey to disease and ordinary NOR
tally. Thus in the original Sumerian
story Noah, the survivor of the flood.
is the one who eats from the tree of
life. No woman is concerned in this
disobedience which resulted in our
loss for perfect health peace and
countless years.

Better ROADS AND SCHOOLS
Farmers Beginning to See That Edu
cation Furnished In one-Room
Building 10 Not Adequate.

Sooner or later We shall be driven
to the Capitalization Of schools In
some form. not necessarily to the
township school; but We are all be.
ginning to see that tho education fur.
nishsd in the one-room school with
ten or twelve pupils on an average, 10
not what the farmer needs, and costs
more than it is worth. Therefore, We
take 1t that we shall be driven to sesme
kind Of consolidation. When farmers
get around to the point Of figuring
what their schools actually cost them
per pupil per day. and realize the in.
adequacy Of this kind of training to
1T their children for farm life, they
viii remedy It by punching the schools
together.
Before this can be done effectively
there must be good roads, roads over
which the children can be carried
comfortably to a large school where
they will have the training that fts
them for life, and in the larger schools
Q training that will take the place Of
that of the town school, at vastly less
expense and less danger to the health
and morals Of the pupil. To do this
We must have good roads, and good
dirt roads at that; for nine-tenths Of
the roads that lead to the schoolhouse
and to the country church must be dirt
roads.
There are places in some of the
eastern states where the children go
to school in automobiles. There are
others where they go on roller skates,
-, for example, where cement roads
have been established. As we have
often pointed out, 1t Is possible to have
q dirt road good throughout most Of
the year, simply through the use of
the road drag after the road has been
graded and drained and supplied with
culverts and bridges.
There is, therefore, a very close con-
nection between the road drag and
education. No law, however, can COM
pei the farmer to use the road drag
wisely. They must come to it of their
own accord. They must get to point
where it will be a disgrace to any
farmer not to drag his road after ev-

Statue Of Brick.

Perhaps no other nation in the
world, save the inventive Germans,
would have thought Of building a
statue OF brick. IN the little city of
Vegesack, near Bremen and in the
district of the German clay fields, the
citizens have erected such statue to
one of their number who won fame as
an African explorer. The monument
Is Of brick, 80 feet in height, including
the pedestal. The architect nodded

Social Advancement.

Good roads always contribute to the
social advancement of the community.
While the towns and cities are greatly
benefited by good highways leading
from the country to the towns and
cities, rural people are the greater
beneficiaries. because farmers not only
advance on account of the saving in
marketing their products, but they
improve their social, educational and
religious standing, because of good
roads. Really there is no argument for
poor roads, nor against building and
maintaining good roads.

cry rain. Most people don't realize
yet what good road can be made in
time by the use of the drag, not in
one year, nor in two; but If the road is
dragged after every rain, it will by and
by become so hard and smooth and
elastic that it will require very con.
siderable rain to put it out of condi-
ton. Few people realize what a great
improvement can be made in the road
in even a few months by the use of
the drag just as the road is drying of
after each rain.
