DOESN’T BELONG IN BIBLE American Educator Explains Presence in Book of Myth of Jonah and the Whale. Dr. R. G. Moulton, professor of lite erature at. the University of Chicago, addressing a gathering of Wesleyans at Bath. England, where he received in the’ form of a mere footnote comment in manuscript, but by some blunder, due to careless, slipshod printing from which the Bible suffered more than any other book in the world, the fable of the whale had been included in the general text/ And in this way had it come down through the ages to the modern wdrld aS pure comedy, or, his education, insisted that Jonah was not swallowed by the whale and that the story forms no part of the real Bible. The Bible, mighty in itself, said Doctor Moulton, bad passed through the hands of commentators who' had no knowledge, nd understanding of literature, and who reduced it to a form which had little’ or no likeness to the real Bible. One of these numerous commentators had written into that most spiritual and beautiful book of Jonah the narrative of the,whale, the only effect being one of distortion and disfigurement In actual fact the story, asserted Doctor Moulton, had been originally what was worse, ribald satire.

LEFT WHEN OCEAN RETIRED Californian Reports Finding Millions of Shells Far Above the Present Sea Level. Orlis I. Kennedy, an attorney of San Bernardino. Cal., has returned from an exploration trip on Painted hill, which is 40 miles east of San Bernardino. He brought with him samples of seashells from the great bed of a one-time ocean that is older than Mount San Jacinto and a story of seeing an old Spanish musket and Indian water vessels in an inaccessible place on the hill. Kennedy plans to organize a party to return and get the musket, which, he believes, is at least one hundred years old. To obtain the relic somebody will have to be lowered from a cliff on a rope and then swung into what probably is an old sea cavern. Some of the shells, he said, were found 2,050- feeet above sea level. He stated there probably were millions embedded in the rock formation. The Search. We saw Diogenes the-other day with his lantern. “Still looking for an honest man?” we asked. He shook his head mournfully. “No; I gave that up long ago. I wish I’d stuck to it. It wasn’t half so hopeless as what I’m doing now.” He certainly did look despondent, and our heart went out to him. “What are you looking for now, then?” we asked.. He sighed. “I’m looking for a congressman who made out his Income tax without anybody’s help.”—Life.

Warsaw. —Collection of hundreds of pledges to the Huntington county war chest depends on the outcome of a suit which will be tried in the Kosciusko circuit court here March 1. The action is that of the Huntington county war chest against Samuel Scott, a wealthy Huntington county farmer, who is alleged to have refused to pay his war contribution of S2OO. Terre Haute. —Shortage of railroad cars was responsible for the loss of 1,128,430 tons of coal in the state in January, according to the reports of the Indiana coal trade bureau, made public here. This loss is based on the average daily productive capacity of the mines. The labor cost of production averages ,$1.75 a ton, which made the loss to miners in wages close to $2,000,000. Fort Wayne.—lndiana Rotarians, in annual conference here, gave Lincoln’s birthday a new significance when they took unanimous stand for teaching Americanism jn the public schools of the ‘ state and nation. A resolution, fathered by Frederick E.

Valparaiso.—The Porter township branch of the Porter County Farmers’ association has notified the merchants of Valparaiso that unless they keep their stores open each Wednesday evening and abandon Thursday halfday closing during the summer months, they will trade in other towns and by mail. The clerks in the stores say that they will quit, if asked to work more hours a week.

A public demonstration and parade s will be given during the week of March 17 in an effort to get the desired results. Jeffersonville.—Efforts are being made here to arrange for the building of 200 residences, with the purpose of increasing the number to 500 later.

Builders, contractors and those of allied trades have organized a building association. Anderson.—“lf you can’t get good men, get good women,” Philip Zoercher, a member of the state tax board, told Madison county township assessors here. The assessors said they found it difficult to obtain the services of good men for deputies, and that they did not believe they would be able to find competent men to begin work March 1. The assessors are now seeking women who will serve as deputies. It is the first time women were ever called on in Madison county for,such service. Indianapolis.—Members of the live stock committee of the Indiana Federation of Farmers’ Associations were advised in letters mailed from headquarters that an important meeting will be held at the federation offices here February 18.

Covode, who has a dairy farm northwest of this city, is the owner of Sweet Rose Meadowbrook, the champion butter cow in Indiana.

Picking up a disk, I said,. “This record is unbreakable. You can let the children play with it or drop it on the floor and it will in no way injure it.” I proceeded to demonstrate by dropping the record on the floor, when to my amazement and the extreme delight of my audience it . broke in a thousand bits, and I could only stammer, “It —it must have been defective.” —Exchange.
