The Apple of Eve


correspondent wrote to The Sun lately
asking how the apple came to be named as
the fruit of the temptation in the Garden of
Eden, when the original Hebrew text and
all of the translations speak only of the
fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil. 1t seemed that none of the Bibli-
cal authorities had offered any answer so
far as he was able to learn.
There is an answer, however, and that a
very simple one, which will probably satisfy
this inquirer and many others who might
ask the same question.
1t is true that in the Hebrew the words
are Etz Peri, the fruit of the tree, and
the Greek and Latin versions so translate
them. The Vulgate uses the word fructum
for fruit, and this could not in any wav be
mistaken for the specific fruit apple. 1t
IS further admitted by scholars who hold
that the paradise of the Bible, which is also
described upon clay tablets of Babylonian
literature, was located near the Euphrates
and the Tigris, or in a tropical country,
where no apples could possibly grow, so that
the fruit of this tree could not possibly
have been an apple.
In tablet lately translated, which origi-
mated in Nippud and is now in the museum
of the University of Pennsylvania the fruit
is described as the fruit of the cassia plant.
according to DR.. Landons translation. This
is possible, for that plant is we'll known in
that region.
But the question of how the apple came
into the story is still unanswered, and no
tablet will answer it, for none could mention
fruit unknown to the Babylonians not
growing in their country.

A Bunch of Meddlers.

According to newspaper publications the
South is to have another visitation of self
appointed guardians and uplifters The
Southern Sociological Congress composed
of northern peoples planning a tour of
the South during which they will "urge the
equipment of all houses with certain SAM
tary arrangements that will cost 1925"
Their slogan will be, "Saving lives at $8.25
each" They will save much time and some
money, unless a series of collections is a
part of their benefcient programme of
enlightment and protection, by staying at
home and attending to their own business,
if they have any. The people of the South
are capable of looking after their own needs,
and want nothing from these meddlers.

With the price of all kinds of paper gone
'out of sight" it would certainly seem that
the consumption of paper would fall off.
But such is not the case, according to sta
TONERS, who declare that more paper is be-

more or less small quantities may not feel

Every time a senate session comes to a
close by limitation there is more or less
flibustering. Sometimes the filibustering
is for good cause. Sometimes it is for a
bad cause. Sometimes it is for ap indif-
ferent cause. Always there is a question
whether it is wise to give a few senators so
much power to use for good or i'll according
to personal inclination. But senatorial cour-
tesy persists, and the right of unlimited de-
bate remains to serve good or bad purpose
when there is opportunity for another fill
buster. It's chance of continuing to remain,
however, is poorer right now than ever be-
fore.

IMPORTANT AND TIMELY ADVICE.

From the Progressive Farmer
!. We advise our friends to stay out of the
livestock business unless they are going
INTO the business of producing feeds first.
About the only excuse for cow. a MO,
or sheep on the farm is to furnish market
for the foods produced on that farm and
leave the better part of the plant foods in
these feeds on the farm when thew are
driven away. But the farm which does not
produce feeds has no use for market for
feeds. The farmer should be seller of
feeds to his stock instead of buyer of feeds
for his stock

julius Hurter, ST., of 2346 South
Tenth street, noted snake hunter and
herpetologist, owner of one of the
most complete collections of reptiles
in the world, died. 1t is understood
that he willed his collection to the
Smithsonian institution at Washing
ton. Hurter had travelled all over the
world in quest of rare reptiles and am
phibia. He captured many of these
alive and kept them at his home until
a favorable season for killing them
and preserving them.
In his snake hunts Hurter followed
the dangerous plan Of waiting until
the reptile struck and then jumping
aside and catching it by the tail. Some
times he was bitten, but the hypo-
dermic needle and strychnine averted
evil effects. Hurter never sold any of
his specimens, but sometimes traded.
