Biblical Truths Revealed.

Work by archeologists has thrown q great flood of light and rich under standing on the Bible.
 This point was emphasized by JO- sish Penniman, acting provost of the University of Pennsylvania, in a re- cent address on the literary back ground of the Bible.
 ''Their discoveries of records do not confirm the Bibie." he said, flor it needs no confirming, but they give us clearer understanding of the Bible"
 The story of the prodisal son was cited by Doctor Penniman as one example When 1t Is known that tho laws at that time made 1t possible for q young man to ask for and re- ceive hts inheritance. and to go 'in- to far country" the story is more clearly understood
 Records have been unearthed which show that the selling of Joseph to the caravan of merchants bound for Egypt was ono of many similar trans actions that happened along this road
 The greatest literary background of the New Testament is the Old Testa- ment. said the speaker. but there are number of books, among them the "Wisdom of Solomon" and the Last Days of David" which throw pro found light on the parabIes and incl dents recorded in the New Testament.

A fragment of the skull. weigh ing three tons and measuring 16 feet in length and feet across. was taken to Miami in tow sf the yacht Corsair. Thousands of curious persons visited the dock. but none could name the creature, and Mr. Garre tson was un- certain as to the pecies to which 1t belongs He is inclined to the opin- ion, however, it is q giant squtd, for the oaly bone he could saIve was tha skull Mir. Garretson declared that when he first saw the monster it vas surrounded by sharks which were de- Vouriug the flesh. He did not know how long it was aS he saw only 80 er 90 feet of 1t. with the head protrudtnR 6 or 8 feet above the water. Mir.

WENT UP IN RECORD TIME
Comfortable House That Was Begun and Practically Completed in
 Single Day.

A farmer in one of the Middle Vest ern states bought material for house and then discovered that for lack of means he could not go on with it. The stuff lay on the ground for months, when one day generous thought came into the mind of q con- tracting builder. He called his men to build the farmers cottage. telling them he would undertake to do 1t with in one day if they would contribute their work. Twenty-six carpenters. ma sons and painters agreed. on the con dition that the farmer would furnish d chicken dinner, and time was fixed for all to report at the site ef the pro- posed building
 Every man appeared on time and all went at once to work Each worker was assigned to q particular part, and the house began to go up with a rush. When noon came the framework was all up and the chimney was started.
 Then came dinner. The wife of the farmer had fried two dozen chickens. There were ten l0aves of bread, four dozen ears of corn and nearly d bushei of mashed potatoes. The dessert con sisted of cherry eObbler and various kinds of pie. The contractor had to call off hts men for fear they would eat SO much they would not be able to finish the job.
 
 The hurry began again. Before the roOf was on the plssterers were at work, and at exactly six o'clock tue cottage was finished, all but the sec ond coat of paint and the skim plas- ter. neither of which could be put on before the first coat dried. Everything else, even to putting on the locks and hinges. was done before the men were called of. and done well
 The contractor eompiime0ted his men when the job was complete. He said that although he had do0s hurry" work before, he had never known s house to be begun and com- pleted in day.
