OLD SANSkRIT TALES
PUT INTO ENGLISH
Strange Legends of Ancient India
Translated in Volume
Just Published.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO. October IA new
translation from the ancient Sanskrit
by Arthur w. Ryder has just been
published by the University of Chi
cago Press.
Under the name THE Panchatan-
tra," the book contains some Of the
worlds oldest tales. first gathered
more than $500 years ago in the Vale
English. Without footnotes and
glossaries, the volume is rich in
epigrams and verse from which the
Oriental flavor has not been lost
Weird legends of lions who hold
court like kings. scheming jackals and
birds which talk with fishes are told
in the five books Of the volume. The
opening yarns tell Of the broken
friendship Of Bull Lively and Lion
Rusty and inserted therein are numer-
GUS stories which dovetail into one an.
other.
Every pagagaph or so is broken
with a bit of sprightly verse, many Of
which are Introductory to a separate
legend or allegory. The reader is sent
awandering from the original plot for
a time, but eventually another rhyme
brings him back to the main thread of
the story.
The tales originated in British India
and were told by Buddhist monks
more than 1000 years ago. In the
sixth century they were translated
by a Persian physician and during
the eighth century they reached Bag
dad Later the stories were translated
into Greek, Latin, Hebrew. German
and French. La Fontaine is said to
have relied upon them extensively as
a source for his fables.

yH5FMARSE1LLES, France, Nov. c.
The last rocks that kept the water
from the Mediterranean Sea out of
the Rhone-to Marseilles Canal, have
been removed, completing a project
that dates back AIS years.
1t was when Richilieu was
minister to Louis XIII that plans
were first put forward for the
digging of this canal.
There was too much religious
strife in the country at that time,
however, to permit Frances rulers
to give attention to the project.
Richilieu and Louis XIII died and
other rulers came and went before
the proposition again was brought
up This time, in 1920, actual plans
were drafted. But they were pigeon
holed until 1903 when the construc-
ton was authorized Actual work
was started in 1911.
The canal is eighty-one miles long,
and cost 216,00O,OOO francs.
