countries as we'll 1t is the story of some fine
detective work. In following clews, some of
which ended successfully and some unsuccess-
fully, of persistence and perseverance In the
face of battling problems and seemingly insuper-
able obstacles-all in the name of historical ac-
curacyi But out of ii all came total of more
than 10000 authenticated pictures the basis
for what is now recognized as the first and thus
far the only real source book Of Pictorial Amer
icana. Incidentally when the work was com
pleted IT represented the expenditure for cap
ital account of more than $500 probably the
largest sum spent for a single piece of
historical research but a very modest amount
when compared to the value and Importance Of
the results obtained.
In considering the task before the Yale au-
thorities 1t must be remembered thai American
history began long, long, before there were
cameras to record historic incidents as they are
recorded today SO the only pictorial record
we have of some events of the greatest his
torical Importance was made by artists
equipped only with the crudest sort Of instru-
ments and materials for their work. But the

fact that they furnished contemporary rec

many cases the cost of securing a copy Of some
individual picture ranged anywhere from 500
up to $3.50 In two of the volumes of the series

above) which reproduce in colors the uniforms

wars
The search for authentic paintings, daguerreo-
types Autographs and engravings of contem-
porary events and for charters commissions
and other documents preserved in official ar
chives took the research staff of 1.-The Pageant
of America" into many strange places. 1t was
| recognized at the start that the discovery of
America was only an incident in the discovery
of Asia and that to illustrate the background
of the beginnings of American history it would
be necessary to find pictures which would show
the influences in Europe far back the
time of Carpini and Marco Polo, which led ul-
timatey to Columbus attempt to find the route
to Asia by sailing west. SO the earliest dated
picture in the Pageant is a page from the
Latin manuscript of Adam of Bremen in the
Eleventh century, in which the first mention OF
Vinland discovered by the Norsemen, was made

BIBLICAL CITY IN
DEAD SEA WATER?
May Confirm Destruction of
Sodom and GOmorrah.

A message 10 the London Times
from a correspondent in Cairo stated
that an airman flying recently over
the southern part of the Dead sen
reported having seen a town lying
beneath the water" This town, ac-
ders Petrie, interviewed by a repre-
sentative of the London Observer, is
thought of the London Gomorrah or
another of the five Cities of the
Plain" that were destroyed at the
same time with them. Archeologists
are not in agreement as to the prob
able site of those cities. The north.
ern shores have been considered The
most likely. But in the Scriptural
record mention is made of a little
city nearby named Zoar, a city TO
which Lot and his daughters fed.
city so small as not to be as wicked
as the rest A city of that name az
the south remained into Roman
times.
There is abundant evidence that
there was q Canaanitish civilization
in that region at time when the
plain was well watered everywhere
as thou goest toward ZOar"-like the
garden of the Lord. The place was
filed with city states as the ScripturaH
record suggests. each with its king:
"And it came to pass in the days of
Amraphel, king of Shinar. Arioch.
king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king
of Elan and Tidal, king of Colin,
that they made war with Bera. king
of Sodom and with Birsha, king nf
GOmOrrah. Shinab. king Of Admah,
and Shemeber. king of Zeboiim and
the king of Bella (the same is Zoar).
All these Joined together in the vale
of Siddim (the same is the Salt seal"
Suddenly all the kings departed and
with them all the 'inhabitants of the
cities and that which grew upon the
ground" for more than 20 centuries.
An earthquake with fiery ernptions"
is postulated, and consequent gen.
eral desolation. "And Abraham.
looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah
and toward all the land of the plain
and beheld, and 10. the smoke, of the
land went up as the smoke Of a fur
nace.' Perhaps. too. the waters Of
the Dead sea were. before the dis
turbance, whatever it was. at a lower
level. Now from the airman's heigbr
their depths even are visible. and it
may be that the sequel of the story.
! of the judgment on Sodom and Co
morrah will be told.

Puny Creatures That
Have Held Up Trains

and pulled up in a hurry. Before.
he could find out what the trouble
was, another train came up behind
and ran into his. killing three pas
sengers. The red light was just an
ordinary signal lantern, on which
had settled a swarm of cochineaI in

their tiny bodies, caused the signal
to appear a vivid crimson.

been displayed in the vanished building which
he designed, not only served to honor the
painter of Americas epic" but ii emphasized
once more the part which this university has
played In the visual education" of Americans
in the history of their country
1t recalled once more an ambitious project
Of that institution in this educational field, be-
Jun more than a decade ago and appropriately
enough brought to a triumphant conclusion
during the year in which the sesqui-centennial
of American independence was being celebrat-
ed. That was the publication of "The Pageant
Of America" a l5-volume pictorial history of
our country which has worked something of a
revolution in the methods of presenting and
studying American history"
The idea for such project took form while
the Yale University Press which had just COM
pleted publication of another notable historical
SERIES THE Chronicles of America" was ex-
perimenting with the presentation of the drama
of American history through the medium of
moving pictures. The result of this experiment
was the outlining Of a plan for a pictorial
chronicle of America" in book form.
There have been many pictorial histories of
America but the majority of them have been
comparatively valuelesS because "the pictures
have often been an excuse to weaken the text
and the text has been an excuse to pass of
hackneyed or deceptive pictures on the confd
ing reader" So the problem of the Yale au
thorities was not only TO avoid repetition OF
the errors which had given pictorial history a
bad repute but also to prepare combination OF
pictures and text which would be scholarly
enough to satisfy the most exactng scientific
historian" and lively and interesting enough tC
meet the demands of popular appear without
sacrificing anything of accuracy and authen
ticity.
But the most interesting story of all in con
nection with the presentation of this unique pag
cant is the story of the worldwide search fol
the pictures which went into it, 1t is the story
of an adventure in American history as roman
tic an adventure in many of its aspects as any
