Languages In Switzerland.

Both French and German are the
Official" languages of Switzerland.
Public signs. such as those of rail
roads. are printed In both languages.
Italian is also spoken In those parts of
Switzerland which are closest to Italy.
AS matter of fact, the country is,
however, quite definitely divided as to
language. The cantons Of Vaud, Neu-
cbatel, Geneva, Fribourg and most Of
yalais speak French. The canton of
Ticino speaks Italian. The rest Of the
country speaks preponderantly Ger
man. The canton of valais has differ
ent districts, where each Of the three
languages is spoken.

Eve Convicted After All;
She Did Eat That Apple

r We ate the apple ar,ci oil. Last
~ summer womankind took heart
- at q published report that she
had been guiltless these three
thousand and moro years during which
she had been accused. Prof. stephen
Aangdon, a Babylonian scholar Of note
and holder of the Shillito chair of
Assyriology at Jesus Coll, &c. oxford,
had deciphercd a Nippurian tablet
nearly 5000 years old, now In posses.
sion Of the University Of Icnnsyl-
vania Museum. and had proclaimed
from the intellectual heights that the
text thereon established beyond a
doubt that man. not woman. was at
the bottom Of the row ia Paradise.
His translation attracted world
wide attention and upset rooted com
vtctions. For instance. he declared
there were no apple trees in the Car
den OF Eden. Instead there was a
cassia bush and a gardener named
Tagtug. whom he vaguely Identifies
with Noah: and Tagtug disobeycd
Nintud. also called N~inharsag. the
goddess OF men in old Sumerian-Ak-
kadtan--that Is. early B~abyionian-
inscriptions when she warned him not
to taste cassia. He gorgcd himself on
