NO RAINBOW AFTER DELUGE

The rainbow after the deluge, de
scribed In the book of Genesis 9:13
was not q rainbow after all, but q
collection of great fiy-brushes of the
ancient oriental gods, declares Prof.
Paul Haupt Of Johns Hopkins univer-
slty. Announcement of his discovery
was made by Doctor Haupt at Couch
er college. at a session of the American
Oriental society, which held its one
hundred and thlrty-third conclave In
Baltimore.
The mistake In Genesis, said Pro-
fessor Haupt, probably is due to a
misunderstanding Of q character on
one of the old cuneiform tablets. The
word is ''bow," which could very
easily be mistaken for "fiy brush" he
said. These huge feather brushes
were 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
cients naturally gave their gods credit
for having fly-brushes, and, In fact, In.
line 1874 OF the flood tablet the word
Fly brush" appears as big as life.
The passage says that when Istar
sees the gods gather around the Of
ferer like a swarm Of flies because
there had been no offerings during
the food, she is so incensed that she
takes the great fly-brushes Of her ia
ther, Anu liking Of the gods), to drive
away the gods"
