THE Marriage Problem,

You can no more make yourself
keep on loving some one to order than
you can make yourself fall in or out
of love with some one to order. It's
like asking a small boy to light
street lamp with only a match. He
can't reach-the whole things beyond
him. That's the tragedy-the whole
relationship is dependent on some
thing that sails as airily remote above
your head as a drifting cloud. To
base on that an irrevOcable agree
ment? It's simply asking for trOu-
BILE. It's like jumping into ten feet
of water without knowing whether
you can swim or not, and then COM

HAS EXPLANATION OF
MYTHS OF LONGEVITY
Pennsylvania Scholar Sheds
Light on Subject.

A BabylOnian account OF the lfe OF
Noah, giving his age at 64,SOO years.
making the 500 years of Methuselah
pale into insignifcance, forms the
basis of a theory of DR.. Howard
Chiera. professor of AssyriOlogy at
the University of Pennsylvania, de-
signed to account for the extreme
longevity of these characters in early
history.
In paper submitted to the Grocer
Theological seminary. Doctor Chfera
tells of the recent discovery of four
sided prism in the Sumerian language,
giving a list of the kings who ruled
in BabylOnia from the creation to the
time of Hammurabi. The prism gives
the names of eight kings who ruled
in the 241 200 years according to the
BabylOnianS), preceding the food. The
prism is now at Oxford university, but
the comparison it makes with the lives
OF the Old Testament patriarchs
Doctor Chiera believes will help us
toward filling many gaps in the his
tory of ancient Babylonia.'
The eight kings who ruled within a
period of 241 POO years is paralleled
by another list, discovered, not long
ago, according to Doctor Chiera, of
ten kings whose rule covered $4,000
years.
Did the BabylOnians really believe
that their ancient heroes have lived
for such incredibly long periods OF
time?" Doctor Chiera asked. "They
certainly did not.
"But they knew that the world was
much older than the date correspond
ing to 1000 B. c., which was the He
brew figure. They had historical rec
Ords going farther back than that date
and they pushed the date of the crea-
tion as far back as they could.
But they did not have sufficient
historical and traditional records t6
fill up a gap in their history which
would extend into hundreds of thou
sands of years. To avoid cOnfessing
their ignorance of history they had
either TO invent names for their sup
posed patriarchs or stretch the lives

them cover the whole period.
"They resOrted to the latter alter
native as the one which did the least
violence to facts. Hence the excep
tional longevity of the BabylOnian he
| rOeS
The Hebrews, of course, were con
/ frOnted by a similar problem. Low
ever, they were comparatively late ar
rivals on the scene. The history OF
their patriarchs begins with Hammur
abb when BabylOnian history was wei
past the legendary stage. Moreover
the Hebrews did not live among tho
ruins of the past which would reminC
them of the great age of human civ
iiZatiOn. For their scanty traditions
a date of 1000 B. G. for the creation
of man was more than sufficient.
1T was therefore necessary 70
them to multiply the average lengtl
of human life; and a multiplication
| of ten was more than sufficient as wit
ness the 969 years of Methuselah.
"In doing so the Hebrews hav
probably followed the example of tn
Babylonians whose traditions the
certainly must have known. Other
wise, we might have had a date 70
the creation Of man much nearer to u
than 1000 B. c."

Race Horses Oddly Named

The odd names given to race horses
are always interesting and invariably
have reason, which is more than can
be said of the names of famous gallop-
ers of the early part of the Nineteenth
century. Among these quaint names
are recorded: "Jack Come Tickle Me-"
"Jenny Come Tye Me-" II Am Little
Pity My Condition" "Sweeter When
Clothed" "Watch Them ana Catch
Them" and "BrltOns Strike Home"
One wonders what the modern book
maker would make of these labels on
a hot day. Probably the name which
has given the fraternity most trouble
IN recent years was VolodyOvskl,
which won the Derby in 1901.
