Light on Biblical Authorship

An Egyptian tomb in western
Thebes, it is said, has furnished evil
dence that the writer Of the Book of
Proverbs is indebted for some of his
passages to an Egyptian named Amen
emopel, who, according to records,
lived hundreds of years earlier than
the Bible author. A comparison Of
the two passages referred to follows
that of Proverbs /: incline thy ears
and hear the words of wisdom and
apply thy breast to my knowledge.
For it is pleasant if thou keep them in
thy breast; If they are ready, all Of
them on thy tongue" Incline thy
ears and hear my words and apply thy
heart thereto to understand them.
Good is it if thou dost set them in thy
heart, but woe to him who trans
crosses them. Let them rest in thy
breast, that they may be key to thy
heart. SO may they be the key to thy
tongue. Family Herald.

Old Age ReUerenced
Among Eskimo Tribes

Old people are held in great respect
among the Eskimos, and their counsel
is always considered. They help as
far as they are able in the household
work, the old men repairing weapons,
harness, etc, and the old women in
sewing and tending the lamps.
In times of scarcity, as in winter,
meat and oil are always shared
around. Directly a seal or deer Is
brought in it is cut up and sent to
each needy family. In times of plen-
ty each family is supposed to provide
for itself but old people, widows and
orphans have always the first claim
upon those who have the means.
Among these people mutual kind
ness is a general obligation A wild
ow or orphan child is never left
alone, but taken into the house and
family circle of the nearest relative.
The widow gives her services in re-
turn for food and lodging and cloth
ing, and the child is cared for exactly
as the mans own offspring.

Hold Geologists Puzzled

Fossils of prehistoric Inimau
which lived during the great Ice
age are found in certain layers OF
blue clay in Tennessee. Man, II has
been asserted, arrived on the scens
thousands Of years after these blue
clay deposits were made. Recently,
however, biologists working near the
site of an old Indian earthwork found
some of the same sort of blue clay.
Underneath this clay We're human
bones. The discovery was exciting
the geological evidence seemed to
place the first Tennesseans back with
Ice age fossils. Then some kill-jcy
in the party discovered that the In
dams had evidently transported this
clay from some distance and packed
it down into fiat layers resembling
geological strata.

Queen Lover of Cherries

The rich and ruddy cherries for
which England is famous, were in
troduced into that country from Elan
ders in the year 1910. The establish.
ment of their popularity was due in
no small measure to Queen Elizabeth
who had a great liking for cherries
ripe Whereby hangs the tale of Sir
Francis Carew, who delayed the ripen-
ing Of his cherry tree until month
after the end Of the season in order
that the cherries might attain matur-
ity when her majesty stayed with
him. This he accomplished by erect
ing a tent over the tree, and on the
queens arrival the fruit was at per-
lection.

Liquid Floats Stones

OF all liquids, mercury possesses
the greatest specific gravity, but an
other has been discovered which is
also so heavy that stones Of all kinds
granite, limestone, quartz, etc, float
in it. 1t is saturated aqueous solu-
ton of tungstoborate. Its specific
gravity is 3.3, whereas that of oHdi-
nary rocks does not surpass 81. Only
few precious stones have IA specific
gravity greater than that Of this
liquid, for which reason 1t is proposed
to employ it for the separation Of snch
stones from the masses of broken
rock.

Monk Man of Learning

The eplthet Admirable Doctor" was
bestowed upon Roger Bacon 1214-

the greatest philosopher of his time.
His great work, the Opus Majus, was
written about 1865, and first printed In
1913. 1t treats of nearly all the
sciences. He was accused of practlc-
Ing black magic; and in 1878 a council
OF the Franciscans, jealous of his su-

committed him to prison in Paris,
where he remained for ten years. He
