Los Angeles.-Noah's Ark, built to
save the human race from the flood

This is the belief of DIR. C. Z. Get

Doctor Getslnger's conclusion Is
based upon recent discoveries follow
ing 35 years research work and in
tensive study. He declares that the
Ark of Noah was not a ship. 1t was
the great pyramid of Cheops in Egypt.
Recent discoveries prove that the
pyramids-Noah's Ark and the others
were under the sea for thousands of
years. Near the top Of each Of the
pyramids, at the same level, Is q

has been cut into the rock by the
lashing Of long-forgotten surf. Also,

Payment of Fare, H.

London.-The five law lords, consti-
tuting the house of lords, in session
us the supreme court of appeals, sat
around in solemn semicircle. Lord
Haldane sat in the place of lord chan
cellor upon the woolsack, with the
throne itself behind him. Lord Fin
lay and Lord Cave sat upon his right,
Lord Dunedin and Lord Wrenbury
upon his left. In the magnificent
chamber, its red benches nearly empty
except for group of lawyers and
officials near the entrance, the five
law lords, in grave tones befitting
their high function, read out their
learned judgments one by one. Nota-
BILE documents these, in which the five
concurred in one decision, abOunding
in such portentous words as torts
malfeasances, condescendences and the
like.
Clearly landmark this. in the his
tory of the development of the law
Of England. What grave matter was
thus engaging the earnest considera-
ton of the noble and learned lords ?
Surely nothing less than the fate of
some great township, or the destiny Of
some estate of millions?
My noble and learned lords in point
of fact, were talking about penny
a two-cent piece. 1t sounds better
translated into American currency.
My Lord Finlay seems to think some
thing the same himself, for through
out his judgment he referred to it not
as a penny" but as 'penny piece"
or "a coin" Need it be said whose
penny 1t was; that had been carried
up all the various steps of the law into
the house of lords? 1t was q Scots
mans penny.
Conductor Refuses Penny.
Almost two years ago one John
Percy climbed upon a street car in the
city of Glasgow. He rendered to the
conductor of the car in payment of his
fare penny which was slightly
marked and indented. 1t was in fact,
penny which John Percy had him.
self received earlier in the day from
another conductor, and he determined
to return it in the way by which it
ever, did not like the looks of the
penny, and demanded another in its
place. John Percy said 1t was good
enough and refused to give another.
An inspector was called to reinforce
the conductor, and still John Percy re-
fused.
Finally he was marched off to the
police station on a charge of refusing
to pay his fare. He was kept there
