not even Ulster, had it to vote, would
reject Home Rule. In England Wales,
and Scotland the majority of the cleo
the Irish problem. The opinion of

should be given her freedom. And

The exact year of the worlds deluge
| no dnEnitolx-
students give years ranging from 2104
B. c. to 3246 B. C. Some one figured
out the following dates: The deluge
was threatened in the year of the
| world 1886. 1t began December Z, 1856,
continuing for 377 days. The ark rest
ed on Mount Ararat May 6, 1857. Noah
left the ark the following December
| Is. Figuring back from Christ that
would give the year 234S B. C. The
entire computation, however, is clever
guessing, rather than scientific truth.
