Answer to this character of assertions
iu liehalf of the Biblical narrative
we quote as follows from the report
of a lectnre which was delivered at
Minneapolis something: more than a
ye ir r.t by Professor Ddnton. a
Well-known Eisteru scientist an.l
Sceptic. iSaid he :

to know it. If not God's book, we

ark. Bat there must b ive been taken
into the ark not less til. in 4,004 unclean
beasts besides som 4.S5J nmnnu its,
dean beasts, from the mouse to the ele
pb tut. But beasts canuot bs piled like
cord wood and the ark would be taxed to
provide fr the beasts alone. But the
cargo is only just begin; 637 spe.-ies of
reptiles must be provided for, and a vast
crowd of insects from the butterflies of

almost invisible gnat; 75J.UUU species,
two of each species, besides 4, WW species
of air breatbiuo snails, making V.tM of
these to be ailded to the trebly crowded
ark. But the ark has really not one-half
its cargo. There most be food for all
these animals for one year and seventeen
days. The ruminants above wonld have
required not less thau 3 8 id tons of hay
(the food most easily obtained and pre
served ) and this hay would have occu
