 Men who love to dig into what ordinary mortals accepts as facts and wonder at them now say that the ancients of Biblical days reck- oned time, not by solctices and equinoxes, or by the sun or the movement of the earth, but by the moon. Thus a year with them was a lunar year, or every time the moon came round they counted it year. Roughly speaking there are a little more than 121s lunar months of approximately 29 days each in year. This makes it easier to understand how Adam liv- ed to be 930 years; according to our present reckoning he only lived to be "A. Noah's $50 years became 76; and the daddy of them all,

Methuselah, with his 969 lunar years, turns out really to have been 77 years, according to our way of figuring. Later, of course, the equinox was considered, and six moons, or approximately six months became year" Hence Abraham's 175 years becomes about ST years of our time. All of which sounds more plausible about these suppos- ed long-lived patriarchs. N

 The burglar who has his eye on any of the treasures in the British Museum would stand little chance of succeeding, for, after the building is closed to the public, every gal lery and room is carefully examined and then locked up. An hour later ever room is again searched, thus providing a double precaution against fire and burglary. It takes more than an hour merely to ex- anime and lock up the rooms every night. Every one of the police man who help to guard the building is also a trained fireman.
 The first battle in the air, so record say, took place just no years ago near Paris, France. Two Frenchmen were ardent rivals for the affections of a woman, and so

 The present ugly dress coat, or swallow tail, had it's origin when the cutting away of the front waist had the reasonable purpose of pre- venting the side coat skirts from getting in the way in riding, while the pair of present useless buttons behind the waist are also relics from the times when such buttons really served the purpose of fastening these skirts behind. Thus the pres ent dress coat had been handed down from the practical coat in which man rode.

America ever had are lying under the

Those great men who would get so
noisy st our camps are now fighting
against their heroes and their
soldiers, who were never to be for

that they will never be OF any use
any more, and are trying TO get

To get $40 per month insurance

you pay 81 per month.
