NO RAINBOW AFTER DELUGE Johns Hopkins University Professor Explains How the Historic Mi understanding Came About. The rainbow after the deluge, de scribed in the book of Genesis 9:13, was not a rainbow after all, but a kcollection of great fly-brushes of the ancient oriental gods, declares Prof. Paul Haupt of Johns Hopkins univer sity. Announcement of his discovery was made by Doctor Haupt at Gouch er college, at a session of the American Oriental society, which held its one hundred and thirty-third conclave in Baltimore. The mistake in Genesis, said Pro lessor Haupt, probably is due to a misunderstanding of a character on one of the old cuneiform tablets. The word- is "bow," which could very easily be mistaken for "fly brush," he said. These huge feather brushes were in vogue among the old rulers in Assyria and Egypt, and were regard ed as ancient symbols of sovereignty la the Orient. According to Doctor Haupt, the an cients naturally gave their gods credit for having fly-brushfes, and, in fact, in Ene 164 of the flood tablet the word "fly brush" appears as big as life. The passage sayS that "When Istar sees the gods gather around the of 3erer like a swarm of flies (because there had been no offerings during the flood), she is so incensed that she takes the great fly-brushes of her fa thier, Anu (king of the gods), to drive away the gods." Britons Have New Telephone. A new telephonic device already In aretual use in England is the larynga phone, a transmitter in which a disk is placed against the throat of the speaker and the sound is transmitted by the vibration of the vocal chords, says a London dispatch to the New York Tribune. It is suitable for use In noisy factories and workroomns n-here the ordinary telephone mouth piece transmitter would pick up the ,ther sounds in the room and so pre vent conversation. In appearance the laryngaphone re sembles the ordinary telephone except that there is a smooth rounded rub ser disk instead of a mouthpiece. The ,eceiver Is the same and the messages are received in the ordinary speaking voice. -Land for Canadian Soldiers. The forest reserves held by the Ca adian federal government and all sit iatedi in the WVest, comprise an area af approximately 27,50J0.000 acres, and 3onsist of tracts of land unsuitable for igriculture which have been set apart germianently for forest production. At the request of the soldier setlement board areas totalling about 480,000 .acres were withdrawn from the re jerves in order to be made available !km soldier settlement. For the most Nart these areas consist of smanl tracts of a few hundred acres, withdrawn from a number of different reserves. Sniy in the cases of the Riding moun tain, and Porcupine reserves were the areas, larger, abo'ut 220,000 acres be ing: withdrawn from the former and about 240;000 acres from the latter. Oress and Insurance Rates. Swiiss women who wear short skirts and law-necked; gowns wilt have to pay higher raites of life insurance than those who do not. The Swiss insurance eompanies have announced that in fix rug the premiums on policies of wom en's lives they will take into considera tion the women's wearing apparel. The shorter the skirt or lower the decol lete; the higher the insurance rate will be The Swiss companies justify this ac tton on the ground of a great increase of illness and disease among their womea Cients which they claim is due to the wearing of short skirts and low. ndekedi dresses.

A new water-cooled baffle-plate de vice for installation in the firebox of a conventional tip-draft furnace has the effect of converting it into one having some of the characteristics of the down-draft type. It is described in Popular Mechanics. Its construe-1 tion is simple. cbnsisting of two hol low steel compartments of different heights, arranged crosswise of the firebox, at a point somewhat to the rear of the center, with the higher one at the back, thus dividing the fire box into two aistinct combustion zones. As the two chambers are sep arated by a few Inches and the higher one reaches to the boiler by the crownsheet, the gases and smoke lib erted by the forward portion of the ire are forced to pass over the top of the low forward section. down be tween It and the rear section, under the latter, and over the hottest part of the fire, where they are consumed.

Winns boro is my town at heart, as I live inFairfield county and I am interest' ed in the town of Winnsboro. Why is Winnsboro Mill Village becoming to be so beautiful? It is not Lock wood & Grene's money that is doing it all. It's the people's organized efforts, combined with faith and loy alty to their county. That's making this village look different from what it did 10 years ago. Shall Winns boro grow and envelop Rockton, or shall Rockton grow and envelop Winnsboro in 5 years.
