might not only rsmaks history but
reveal . new origin OF modern Ian
guages.
The inscriptions were discovered
in 1904 during tho excavation OF the
temple Of the Egyptian goddess,
Hathor, on the side OF Mt. Sinai.
They were carved on stone tablets
and images unearthed among ruins
Of the temple and were In q Ian
guage never before encountered by
excavators, according to DR.. Henry
Pfeiffer. Phi. d. instructor in Semitic
languages At Harvard.
The characters, he said were
strangely allied to Egyptian HERO
glyphics and the later Semitic al
phabet. yet were not identical with
either.
Prof. Hubert Grimms. = German
scientist. who has advanced a trans
lation for the earlier fragments
which. however. has not been ac-
cepted by all Investigators, believes
tho inscriptions represent con-
meeting link between the Egyptian
and Semitic languages.
Grimme's translation made Moses,
himself, the writer of the sentence
in which, after Identifying himself
as superintendent Of the mine work
ers on Sinai and the caretaker OF
the great temple there gives thanks
to the Egyptian queen (Pharaoh's
daughter) for having rescued him
as q child from tho Nile.
He expresses gratitude for posi-
lions Of power the queen has given
him and refers to the temple as be-
longing to the Egyptian goddess
Hathor. and to the Jewish god, Je-
hovah.
According to Dr.. Pfeiffer. the
scripts date back roughly between
1000 and 1900 B. c.. when the
Egyptians were known to have min

GRAIN MARKET

day followed reports that rust had
developed in northern Argentina. The
fact that on theSfate of the Argentine

Meanwhile reports of unfavorable con-
ditions in Argentina included COM

News of heavy snowfall in the
Canadian northwest likely to hinder
the movement of new wheat there,
was a contributing bullish factor On
the other hand, early buyers in Chi
cago became aggressive sellers on the
price bulges and caused considerable
reaction on the market as the day
drew to an end. Selling was largely
of a profit-taking character, but to
some extent was influenced by up

wheat yields in Australia This re-
vision was attributed to word that
timely rains had been received in Aus

Corn and oats ranged higher, owing

Then he accidentally came upon the

nothing more.
His mind a total blank, he found
himself in a hospital. In the pocket
Of the coat which he had hurriedly
