a huge chronological tablet widely

Abraham, which gave the names OF
dvnasties and kings back to the De-
LUCE.
Numerous copies of parts OF these
tablets have been dug up IN various
parts Of Mesopotarnia by American
british. French and. German eXp!or-
ers but by some singular misfortune
all the fragments heretofore found
were minus the columns listing the
sunerian dynasties between 5000
and 5000 B. C. From that year on
archaeologists have been able to re-
construct the framework Of BABY

dead class as long ago az $500 B. c.,
when the later Babylonian language
was in use. He is the author Of sew
eral books and is now compiling a
volume of Illustrations of strange
birds and animals that were in use by
the artists of ancient Sumer and
Babylon. This will show that vfr-
ITALY every heraldIc sign developed
IN relatively modern times in ali the
European countries had its origin
far back in the dawn Of history.
One of the earliest Of these signs
was on the insignia of a scribe. Tns
record of 1t was found in the NfDpu-
collection Of tablets on Z lump Of CLAW
that had been used to seal a bottle ~
Babyionian wine. On the CLAW tba

the dynasty of Akkad. B. c., $500

The dynasty Of AkkaG, B. c., $500,
Sargon, Rimush and Manishtusu.
! Besides the newly found frag-
ment the collection in the Museum
= contains other tablets of the same
. class. One of these is one-half Of
what must have been the standard
work on chronology. 1t was a work
complete in twelve columns, six on
the diverse from left to right and
six on the reverse from right to left.
Column twelve is accordingly the re-
verse of column one, and column
eleven is opposed to column two.
This half tablet gives on the diverse
and reverse the beginning and the
end of the chronological scheme
down to 1000 B. c., but gives no
clew to the length of time covered
2 by the missing portion or how to
connect the fabulous kings who sue
ceeded the flood with those of the
dynasties of Ur and Isin. It's text
extends across columns one, two and
three on the diverse and includes
columns ten, eleven and twelve on
the reverse. Before the gap 1t fixes
the dynasties of Kish, UruII, Ur and
AVIAN. After the gap are given the
dynasties of Akl1ad. Guti and Isin.
Columns Are Broken OFF.
1.-THE new fragment fits in the gap.
1t represents a portion OF the text
of columns four to five Of the diverse
and seven to nine of the reverse,
with a few signs Of columns three
and ten, very useful to link it up with
the text OF the tablet just described.
Unfortunately it does not belong to
the same identical tablet. Their
thickness is different. 1t is still more
damaged. Top and bottom of all the
columns are broken off.
Despite necessary reservations in
presence of a mangled text, the
great interest Of the new fragment
lies in the fact that II reylores uAo
main lines Of Babylonian chronology
as set down by tradition among the
scholars Of Nippur about B. C. 1000.
The Greek tradition of Abydenus and
Berosus must be traced back to It,

A Gap of 500 Years.

not only does the new tablet give
this chronology. but it also gives
the names of four dynasties hereto
tore unknown, the names Of sew
eral kings which are not found else
where in ancient records, and con-
siderable other information Of al
most incalculable value TO the ar
chaeologist incidentally, it appears
to dispose Of the mystery Of Alag
Bau, the woman credited in an earlier
tablet with founding the dynasty Of
Klsh in 2S75 and who was said to
have relgned for 100 years. The
present tablet asserts that 1t was
Basha-E EMU, the son of Azag-Bau.
who really founded this dynasty, and
makes no mention of her ruling.
Chronology is the framework Of
history" says DR.. Legrain in his de-
scription of the new fragment. ''The
names of the kings and the length OF
their reigns, the relation Of father
and son, the dynasty to which they
belonged and the city which became
their capital, the total number OF
kings and years and one particular
dynasty, and, best of all, fully de-
veloped lists Of succeeding dynasties,
are a leading light in the obscure
path of the student of ancient his
tory. Anything bearing on these
subjects is a most valuable document
for the scholar, the archaeologist or
any man interested with the problem
Of origins.
Among the few uncatalogued tab
lets in the Museum collection there
has come to light, during the last
summer, fragment from Nippur
which is of unusual Importance in this
connection, for it is part of chrono-
logical tablet that fills a gap in the
early history of Babylonia. 1t begins
at a point prior to $500 B. c. and !
comes down to 5000 B. c., covering |
a period Of more than 500 years and |
connecting up with other chrono- !
logical records that have come to !
light from time to time.
The Legendary Kings.
"By degrees, thanks to the docu- |
ments published in the last ten years,
we are reconstruc ting Babylonian
history over the third milleuium back :
to the legendary times of the kings

this reconstruction by the Babylon
ian expedition and excavations in
Nippur cannot be overrated. Indeed, |

dwelling had three stories respective

Keep Air in House Moist.

During the winter months when the
house is artificially heated, it is most
important that the air be kept moist.
When the human body is surrounded
by dry air it undergoeS an evaporat-
ing process which makes the person
feel cool. If the air'is moist the per-
son is warmed much easier. In case
of an air furnace there is provision
made for placing paLs of water in
the furnace. In steam heated houses
the humidity may be promoted by al
lowing steam to escape into the room
at intervals. In hot water furnaces
pans of water should be placed and
kept filled on the top OF the radiator
or somewhere where they will get
enough heat for evaporation. A simple
test for humidity is to watch window
in the room. If it frOsls over rapidly
there is moist air in the room. If the
house is kept properly humid furniture
will not come unglued and the wood In
the floors will not be apt to shrink.

my mother considered it too harm
full to have a heavy meal at night.

she called to me as ! was returning

ers and me to come to dinner the next
day.
The following day the three of us
went to her house at noon. She looked
little surprised as we came, but said
nothing. After about half an hour
we wondered when we were to have
dinner. She asked me why we were

grain on hand which he does not care
price is so low that he will have to
sell at loss, and in most cases he
intends to hold his crop until the mar
ket gets stronger, or for feeding pur-
poses during the winter and spring.
For some years past. at least since the
war started, this was unnecessary, in
fact, unthought of, because there was
such a great demand for farm prod
ucts Of all kinds by us and the allied
nations Prices were very favorable
and the grain found ready market.
AS result, the storage facilities on
many farms were sadly neglected.
There was no need for them. The
crop was sold off the machine and
rushed away. Now the situation is
different. High freight rates have
hurt business and low grain prices
have caused farmers to hold on to
their crop. 1t Is only inevitable that
they must have some place 10 store
II. That is why many farmers are
planning On corn cribs and granarieS
this year, although little money is be-
ing spent for other buildings. The
up-to-date rat-proof crib will keep that
corn in good condition for a year or
more until the farmer is ready to sell
or feed it to his stock. A good corn
crib will make money for its owner.
1t is all right TO hold grain, but it is
mighty important TO have it where it
will not spoil.
Statistics from the United States
Department of Agriculture show that
millions of dollars worth of grain is
destroyed every year by rodents, and
much of this loss could be avoided
BY better storage buildings.

CONCERN WAS FOR MOTHER

Darkness.

The family has moved from a gas
lighted house to one where there is
electricity, and baby Frank, standing
on tip toe, can just reach the two push
buttons inside the rooms. They are a
source of great amusement and he
never fails to press them whenever
he passes.
A few nights ago his mother came
from the upper rooms and announced
bedtime. Little Florence ran upstairs
Immediately. Frank, up TO his usual
tricks, pushed the button, and off went
the light. The overwhelming darkness
frightened the little fellow. After a
minute he asked Mother, are you
there?" Eyes, DEAR" said his amused
mother. Another pause. Mother. are
