NO RAINBOW AFTER DELUGE
Johns Hopkins University Professor
Explains How the Historic Mis-
understanding Came About.

The rainbow after the deluge, de-
scribed in the book of Genesis 9:13,
was not a rainbow after all, but
collection of great fly-brushes of the
ancient oriental gods, declares Prof.
Paul Haupt of Johns Hopkins univer-
sity. Announcement Of his discovery
was made by Doctor Haupt at Couch
er college. at session of the American
Oriental society, which held its one
hundred and thirty-third conclave In
Baltimore.
The mistake In Genesis, said Pro-
fessor Haupt, probably is due to
misunderstanding of a character on
one Of the old cuneform tablets. The
word is bow" which could very
easily be mistaken for "fiy brush" he
said. These huge feather brushes
We're In vogue among the old rulers in
Assyria and Egypt, and were regard
ed as ancient symbols Of sovereignty
In the Orient
According to Doctor Haupt, the an
clients naturally gave their gods credit
for having fy-brushes, and, in fact, in
line 1854 Of the flood tablet the word
"fy brush" appears as big as life.
The passage says that "When Istar
sees the gods gather around the Of
ferer like swarm of flies because
there had been no offerings during
the flood), she Is so incensed that she
takes the great fly-brushes of her fa-
ther, Anu liking of the gods), to drive
away the gods"

Dress and Insurance Rates.

Swiss women who wear short skirts
and low-necked gowns will have to pay
higher rates of life insurance than
those who do not. The Swiss insurance
companies have announced that In fix
ing the premiums on policies of wom-
ems lives they will take into considera-
ton the womens wearing apparel. The
shorter the skirt or lower the decol-
lete, the higher the insurance rate will
be.
The Swiss companies justify this ac-
ton on the ground of great increase

women clients which they claim Is due
to the wearing Of short skirts ana low.
