One result Of the traffic in stolen
automobiles, with It's attendant losses
to innocent purchasers, has been the
formation, OF companies for the pur-
pose OF insuring the title to cars. In
addition to examining the title TO cars
for prospective purchasers. a New
York company advertises that it will
issue certificates of ownership TO
present owners. so as 10 facilitate
sales by them in the future, when
their title might be called in ques-
ton.
In view of the rule OF law that the
purchaser OF car which has been
stolen may be compelled TO give up
the machine TO the true owner. with
out having any means OF recovering
the purchase money paid, II behooves
the purchaser of a used care to have
the title to il examined with the same
care as is used in examining the title
to real estate.

brings nome the lesson that the
Greek translators of the Hebrew BIZ
BILE had a text differing from our
own, or at least read it differently.
There was another incident which
suggested different views on Biblical
teachings. Del Rossi's wife was so
affected by the fright that she con.
tracted jaundice. In consequence Of
her condition, she seemed to develop
an unnatural desire for salt, and
without any medical attention, the
consumption Of large quantities of
salt restored her health. This sug
gested to her husband the idea that
the biblical miracle reported Of Pro-
phet Elisha, who made the water OF
an unwholesome spring drinkable by
throwing salt into it (II Kings, 2,
2D, was perhaps a natural process.
Some people to whom the author told
Of his discovery objected strenuously
to such an attempt to deny the mi
racle. The author apologized. He
did not intend to deny the miraculou:
power possessed by prophets, but h,
thought that occasionally they en-
ployed natural means to produce su-
pernatural results.
This, however, was not the full ex.
tent Of the heresies suggested by the
calamity. Camping in the vicinity
Of the city, our author met Chris
tian scholar who asked him about
the original Hebrew text of the so
called Letter Of Aristeas, which gives
the legendary origin Of the Greek
translation Of the Bible. The Chris.
tian scholar thought that the Jews
possessed the original of this letter
and desired to compare the Hebrew
original with what he considered the
Greek translator. The story con
tanned in this letter shall be briefly
presented.
King Ptolemy of Egypt desired t,
build up complete library, and for
that purpose wished to possess the
Hebrew scriptures in Greek transla-
ton. One Of his courtiers wrote to
Jerusalem, and the High Priest sent
a copy Of the Pentateuch written in
gold ink, and delegated seventy two
scholars who should do the work OF
translation. Every one Of them
worked separately, and when they
had finished their labor II was found
that their work agreed in every de.
tail. This story, which is now IN
derstood as an attempt To show that
the Greek Bible was written under
divine inspiration, was in those days
taken seriously, and Del Rossi also
accepted it as a fact. He found,
however, that the story differed in
some important details from the ac-
counts given in the Talmud. This
again suggested the comparison be-
tween other statements found in Tai
mudic literature and those on the
same subject found in the secular
literature Of Roman and Greek au-
thors. So Talmudic stories tell US OF
the terrible death Of Titus, who was
punished for destroying the Templ..
while Roman histories know nothinc
Of such affect. Similarly, Talmudic
sources tell US Of connections between
Alexander the Great and Jewish rab.
bis which are inconsistent with what
we know from secular sources.
Nor was this all. The sixteenth
century was a period Of marvellous

DIS the sun slips at sunset into hole
at the western end of the heavens and
passes above the solid vault which
the heaven was believed to be, until
noxt morning, when it slips out Of
the eastern hole in the armament.
Other rabbis believed that the sun
instead of moving above the sol:d
armament, moved during the night be.
low the surface of the earth.
Some other Jewish scholars Of tn,
sixteenth century had discussed the
question, some trying to harmoniEe
the Talmudic statement with the new
discoveries, while others simply stat
ed the difference and insisted that
the rabbis must be right because they
are infallible. Del Rossi took the
bold view that the statements of the
rabbis were not authoritative except
when they dealt with questions Of re-
ligious law or doctrine. This prin-
ciple referred both to history and t,
science.
In our days this view is so natural
that it hardly will be disputed by
even the most orthodox scholars who
have any scientific training. In the
sixteenth century this was damnable
heresy and Del Rossi was severely
attacked. His opponents were found
not only in Germany and Poland.
where secular studies were entirely
neglected, but even in Italy, where
his contemporary, Moses Provenzali,
wrote a furious attack on him. Imi-
tating the Catholic method Of the In
QUESTION, leading rabbis issued an
order that no one should read Del
Rossi's book, except IL he wished to
refute it, and in such case he had to
receive special permission from three
rabbis. Copies Of the book with the
permission written on the fly-leaf or
on the title page are still in existence
in some libraries. Outside of Italy
the opposition was still stronger.

ing, and since the beginning of the
nineteenth century the subject Of an
interesting legend which made him
the creator Of an automatom to which
he gave life by cabbalistic formula,
ordered the book burned publicly and
wrote work in refutation Of the
heresy which preferred the authority
Of the heathens to that Of our sain..
ed rabbis.
These views have completely
changed. Today nobody would take
exception to the statements made by
Del Rossi in the collection Of essays
to which he gave the title Of Meor
Enayim (Enlightenment), and wher
it was republished in Vienna, 1920.

any public statement condemning Il.
