scendants OF Jacob to make bricks

brick of palace built by Pharaoh
of Egypt 1870 years after the exodus

Incidentally. our readers OF the
farm will be interested to learn
that these brick Of $500 years ago
contained SO much straw that the
farmers in the vicinity of DIR. Fish

them away to dig into the soil as
fertilizer 1t is curious to know that
brick that We're strong enough to
hold up $500 years will disintegrate
in damp soil. However. we must re-
member that Egypt is practically a
rainless country. and the brick had
no such weathering as they would
get in America.
The palace unearthed by DIR. Fish
er was that of the king called Mer-
neptah, who has always been cred
tied with being the wicked Pharaoh.
DR.. Fisher has established the fact
that this is erroneous The Pharaoh
