Old Theory Shattered

Prof. Franz Wutz of Germany has
collected what he calls newly found
facts about the Hebrew Bible. He has
with his claims shattered the old
theory that the GrGek-Alexandriau
translation Of the Old Testament
known as the Septuaginta, is derived
from original Hebrew text. He says
the Septuainta is largely reproduc
ton of Hebrew words written with
Greek letters and that as early as 20C
B. G. Jewish scholars utilized Greek
Hebrew texts for their translations
into Greek. His claim opens up an en-
tirely new vista on old biblical litera

Tesla Turns to Mars

Nikola Tesla, the inventor whose
work has been very important in the
electrical world, has turned his spec
ulations to Mars. He says life on the
planet Mars may be from one to ten
million years older than on the earth
He also thinks the hope of commune
eating with the planets is not an idle
one, but merely awaits the invention
of proper apparatus, based on the
earth's frequency of vibration, which
he places at lit per second.

as they entered the danger zone. This
time there should be no hair petting, and
there wasn't.
AS fate would have it, another couple
bumped and stopped them for moment,
which the English girl improved by bend
ing over and kissing the top of the Mar
quis' head.
Everyone was watching. Everyone saw
it. At last the girl had gone too far.
What would Mrs. Nash do about it? She
could not smile that off. All wondered,
including the Marquis, as the angrily
blushing Englshman foundered away as
far as possible with his rebellious girl
Apparently Mrs. Nash would do nothing.
She just sat motionless and watched the
retreating pair. But she was thinking
very fast.
She remembered many occasions when
men had persisted in trying to force their
attentions on her in spite of her escorts
hints and finally definite warnings. When
these did not have the desired effect, it
had been necessary to go over and punch
the mans face. She had always thought
this rather unnecessary and amusing, but
now she knew how those escorts felt.
She was now in their boots, so to speak.

preaching that fatal table. Just before
they reached it, Mrs. Nash looked up
and gave his partner a peculiar smile.
That smile seemed to push them away

obeying some irresistible force of attrac-
ton, and this time. Mrs. Nash did not
look up at all. As they slowly passed,
revolving on their own axes, the English
girl reached out white hand and gently
smoothed and caressed the black hair of
the Marquis. The Italian gave Mrs. Nash
a startled look, and suggested leaving the
place, but with an easy smile she shook
her head

At any rate, Mrs. Nash's observant eye
soon noted that whenever they danced
the English woman Unanswered her
partner so that she could always keen
her adoring gaze on the scion of Lorenzo
the Magnificent. The thing became so
marked that everyone grew interested
When the woman brushed past the Mar
quis and sighed audibly Mrs. Nash
flashed her brilliant smile of amusement
This was still all right, but it must not
go much further.
At this point the Englishman began to
show signs of distress, and made several
unheeded suggestions to go home. He
saw that everyone was laughing at him,
and finally made some sort of protest to
the woman. This brought him few
sharp words from his companion, and he
became silent and squelched.
He cast a glance of warning and APP
peal to Mrs. Nash, who replied with a
dazzling smile of assurance. He was
worried and evidently wished she would
worry. Perhaps she was worrying, but
she did not show it. A champion must
not betray concern when some upstart
seems inclined to challenge the cham
pion's title.

Marquis de Medici, direct descendant of
the ancient and once mighty Italian Med
lei family, patrons of art, and also Of
poison and the stiletto.
The present Marquis, who of course has
neglected these family accomplishments,
has been one of Mrs. Nash's most per-
sistent and valued admirers. He might
almost be called STEADY" Probably
she would rather lose any or even all
her others than this fascinating and hand
some man of ancient lineage. The noble
Marquis and the respondent Mrs. Nash
ordered with their champagne-ham and
eggs. Everybody orders ham-and at that
hour in Mitchell's, because Paris has
the notion just now that this humble
American dish is a good one to top off a
wild night.
By the time jewellers have reached
MitchelPs and the ham-and-egg stage
they are usually somewhat sleepy, sub
dued and peaceable. But that particular
morning there was present an English
couple who have managed to keep their
names out of print. The man was con-
tent to look at Mrs. Nash, and perhaps to
drowsily speculate about the fortunes
that have been lavished upon her. The
English woman with him was also inter.
ested in Mrs. Nash, and all was serene
until she found out that her escort was
the lineal, legitimate descendant of the
magnificent family that was so skillful
with poisoned rings and needle-pointed
stilettos.
This information seems to have stripped
the gears from some important wheel in
the English lady's mind, for she instantly
became fascinated and just stared and
stared at the Marquis. This was quite
all right. In Paris everybody stares to
their hearts content and nobody minds.
She stared, and whenever she caught his
eye she smiled at him, and that was all
right too. Mrs. Nash did not mind 1t

women appreciate how desirable her adj

But the English woman's interest went
beyond all reason. OF course, nobody can
know what really went on inside her
pretty head, but the French, who reason
out a logical explanation for all things,
figure it out as follows:
In France and England, as well as the
United States, murderers seem to have
an uncanny fascination for women. The
cells of even the most depraved and re
pulsive man-slaughterers are usually filed

PARIS, Nov. IL.

PARIS, Nov. IL.
STTHE already famous Mrs. Jean Nash
rose up the other night and with
her diamond covered hand threw
wine bottle clear across Paris restaurant
at another woman and actually hit her.
This bit of new-womanly self-eXpres-
sion caused something of sensation.
Even hard-boiled Paris was startled and
at first inclined to criticise the lady bottle
thrower. But on sober second thought it
has decided that, under The circumstances,
she was right. 1t was the logical thing
TO do.
However, Paris wishes she had not done
it, and shudders at what this precedent
may start. Other women may find it log
ical to throw bottles in crowded restaur-
ants, and while Mrs. Nash's aim proved
to be as good as her logic, with many
women it is believed to be worse. IL
, lovely woman is going to take hand in
the present epidemic of cabaret bottle
throwing, innocent bystanders are going
to have something to worry about.
The circumstances which Paris thinks
justified Mrs. Nash in what she calls her
gesture of disapprovalP are these. In
the first place, it should not be forgotten
that Mrs. Nash is perhaps the most cele-
brated woman about-town in the world
An English Judge in divorcing her and
trying to make her feel cheap and small,
made the lady famous by calling her the
best dressed and most extravagant woman
in the world. This title, which she has
managed to hold against all competitors,
has given her leadership and supremacy
among all the women of Paris's night life.
Any man who wishes to establish repu-
tation of great wealth has only to appear
a few times in public with Mrs. Nash.
When Mrs. Nash quite late at night,
or rather early in the morning, slipped
into Mitchell's famous all-night ham and
egg restaurant and posed for an instant
as she always does, in the entrance, there
was the usual popping wide open of
droopy eyelids and the whisper ran
around:
"That's Mrs. Nashp'
AS usual, she wore a gown she had
never worn before and probably never
would again, and from her neck hung
the pearls that have become historic, while
on her wrists and fingers glittered several
more fortunes in jewels. Conveying this
treasure galleon was a quiet, dark-eyed
man who viewed the ripple Of excitement
with sardonic amusement. He led the
lady through cross-fre of every eye in
the place to table and ordered her IA
vorite wine, Heidsieck Monopole.
When the guests finished talking about

indulge IN scratching and
hair-pulling match. That would be ride
ulous and beneath her dignity. This girl
must be brushed away with one gesture,
like an annoying fly.
Just then the music stopped and a
lane opened up between the Nash table
and where the English girl stood. In
stantly Mrs. Nash went into action
Reaching down she grasped the wine
bottle resting in its cooler and stood up.
Before anyone realized it, diamond en-
crusted hand made a long glttering
sweep and the heavy bottle was on its
way across the room. Everybody saw it
and yelled except the English couple,
who were in angry debate. The missile
struck the girls foot, and down she went
with a scream
AT first it was thought that her ankle
had been broken, as well it might have
been. Willing hands of rescuers, how
ever, soon proved that the lady was un.
damaged, but the bottle had knocked
the heel off her slipper.
The head waiter, who had been watch
ing this gathering storm with apprehen-
sion, came forward and said that the
pastry cook had once been a cobbler and
could put the heel back on again in a
jiffy. Then he took the heel out into
the kitchen and pounded it with the
bung-starter until no man on earth could
have repaired it. Returning with the
ruins, he informed their owner that the
eX-cobbler's hand seemed to have lost its
cunning and that he was sorry.
The Englishman was not sorry and
gave him a hundred-franc note, and was
at last able to get his girl away from
ere, for, with only one slipper, she was
as good as crippled. When she went
Mrs. Nash smiled the same old dazzling
smile. She could afford to smile. The

to say that she aimed at the English
girls head and hit her heel. Even so the
fact remains that in one shot she put the
enemy out of action, which is all anyone
could ask of battleship.
That is one of those shots that are heard
around the world and any man who takes
Mrs. Jean Nash out of an evening can
feel safe in the knowledge that no philan-
dering ladies are likely TO kiss the tor
of his head as they dance by. Mrs. Nash
remains probably the most interesting
woman in Paris.
