A BONFIEE DEFENSE.

and .even I got two or three hours of
tired nature's sweet restorer, though I
would not close my eyes till Helen had
promised not to take hers off the guer
rillas till I awoke. During the after
noon all began to suffer from hunger,
but I would not allow the seauty bit
of food remaining to be eaten. Buck
got over the noon meal bravely, but
when supper time came be clamored
for something to eat.
"Now, see hyar, Mr. Brandystone."
he argued, "you just give me my shar
an I won't want any mo when the rest
of yo' have yo's."
"You must wait. Buck. We shall
have to fast long enough t-jiyway. The
longer between meals the longer we
can hold out."
"All right," he said bravely. "I can
hold out as long ns any of yo'."
As evening came on a horrible thought
loomed up suddenly. If the night
should be- dark, there was nothing to
prevent tbeguerrillas stealing up ou U3
unawares and capturing, our strong
hold. "1 must -find a way out of this," 1
muttered and began an examination of

dark enough I sent Beck and Ginger
out to gather wood and, selecting a
flat rock midway between those on the
flanks, scooped together some light, dry
stuff for kindling and tis fast as the
wood was brought me put it ou. When
all. was ready, we returned to our for

But how light a fire? There was not
a; match in the party. Indeed the only
means of ignition we possessed was a
percussion cap. I sacrificed twj car-
fridges and poured tlie powder they
j contained into a bit of paper, intending
tor explode it with percussion powder.
Night attacks always occur just be
fore dawn, and I felt confident that we
should hear from the guerrillas, if at
all, between 2 and S o'clock in the
morning. At 1 I awoke the command
and issued our remaining ration. It
was eaten ravenously, and when the
last morsel had been consumed I told
all to be ready at the slightest sound.
I was going down to the uulighted fire,
and in case they heard me hammering

stomach and listening. Noticins" what
in the darkness I supposed to be a log,
I ; resolved to crawl up behind it for
concealment. Ou reaching it I raised
, my head aud looked down into the face
of a dead man. It was the body of one
of the guerrillas we had shot during
the day. This uncanny object, encoun- j
tered at dead of night, startled me. !
, There were the ghastly skin, the sunken
cheek, the open mouth, while the eyes
; were staring up at the heavens as if
' they saw wonders hidden from the liv

the horrors that awaited ns struck me
like a gust of cold wind. Perhaps be
fore morning Helen Stanforth or Jaque
Une or little Buck or all of us would
be lying stiff and stark like that dead
guerrilla.
Then a greater strength, a daring, a
! cunning never before felt welled with
in me. I crawled ou till I came so near
the guerrilla camp that I could have
thrown a stone Into it. They had no
fire, and this in itself was suspicions.
I thought I heard a voice, but it was
doubtless some animal or a bird giving
a uote of warning to its mate. I lis
tened, but could hear nothing which I
knew to be human. At last I sat down
on a rock and began what to me seem
ed an endless vigil.
It was perhaps an hour after that 1
heard unmistakable sounds of the guer

could hear voices, and voices 'at that

Many readers of The Times would, I
believe, be interested in a fresh witness
to the Chaldean tradition of the deluge.
The best known account of this tradi
tion is contained in the late George
Smith's "Chaldean Genesis." There
was given the first connected acconnt of
the Assyrian version of the old Babylo
nian myths concerning the flood. This
version has been drawn up for the libra
ry of Ashnrbanipal, the last great king
of Assyria, and has been brought by Sir.
Henry Layard from the rnins of Nine
veh. A more complete edition, consist
ing of all the fragments of the story,
preserved in the British Mnseuni, has
been published by Prof. Haupt.
Unfortunately the lines which once
recorded the dimensions of the ark are
defective, and though Prof. Haupt con
siders it probably that the length was
1 00 cubits, while the breadth and height
were both 120 cubits, we havs no cer
tainty aoout tne leiigtn. y assuming
that the measure named in the text
really denotes a half cubit, as was once
held by Prof. Oppert, the conjectured ;
length would agree with the 800 cubits
of the Biblical narrative .
Now one of the tablets, probably also
one in King Ashurbanipal's library at
Nineveh, appears to give a different et -timate
of the dimensions of Noah's ark.
It is catalogued as "a list of animals and
certain measmmeiits," ect., and was re
cently copied by me for my "Assjriau
Deeds and Documents," where the
cuneiform text will appear as No. 77 7.
A closer examination of the contents
has made me think they deserve to be
more widely known.
There is no distinct statement on the
tablet that the mcasurmeiits refer to the
ark, but I fail to see with what else
figures given could be concerned. The
first three lines read simply, "a 0 cubits
long, 150 cubits broad, GOO cubits high.
The ideographic style, and some of the
ideograms used are not to be found in
published "lists of signs aud ideogram
But these lines only employ such signs
as are well known from their use in he
historical inscriptions, and I assign to
them the meanings which they ah ays
have in such texts as concerns the dimen
sions of buildings.
But thi ' would he a very large braid
ing indeed. The great Temple of Mero
dach at Babylon, by many identified
with the T ower of Babel, was onlv 180
cubits high. If we consider these dimensions-
as those of a tower it must
have been nearly 1,000 feet high. Such
a height could only be that of a moun
tain. Then it would be difficult to ac
count for the presence of the animals
recorded below. There were no ani
mals kept in the tower of Babel, so far
as we are told. The animals whose
names can be recognized are m t such
all probability used for food. The list
ends writh "the Vdove, the swallow, the
raven." Now in the Niuevite version
of the story, Noah sent forth, when the
waters began to abate, first the dove,
then the swallow, then the raven. The
order is the-same. The raven would
hardly be kept in any domestic establish
ment ; few of the other creatures, ex
cept perhaps antelopes would be kept in
a managerie. .
The extraordinary dimensions of the
building, the singular selection of ani
mals, as remarkable for its omissions as
for its contents, seems suited to no oth
er explanation than that. we have here a
summary estimate of the size and con
tents of Noah's ark. .
I may add that, the shape of the tab
let is unusual;, one side being fiat, the
other convex. Tlie countour is a long
oval, like a pressed- fig; The writing
reads the same way on both sides, con
trary to the usual custom of . the scribes
who "turned over" from top to bottom,
not from right to left, as we do, and as
in the case of this tablet. The text is a
sort of palimpsest, in that "several lines
are written upon partly erased charac
ters. The ideograph style seems to in
dicate that this was an extract, or ab
stract from a larger and probably older
work. London Times.

Four bullets fled at the little knot of -men

hit, but all turned and started down
the declivity, though oue man dropped
before he had jne a dozen' yards. We
lost no time in reloading-aud had a

seeing any signs of their return. But
Buck, who took more time and.mn-e

rest together, had scarcely rammed his
charge home and fixed the percussion
cap on the nipple w;hen three men
made a dash at the fire. Two of them
reached it and began to kick vigorous

tbem and shot him through the head.
My gun had scarcely cracked when
Helen let drive at the remaining man.
He staggered, but kept on kicking at
the fire. I snatched Buck s gun ana
from a central ridge. Also the dinien
sions given may be those of a rectangular
raft. In either case there would be a
free space ten cubits wide along the
sides and sixty-tour cubfts wide at the
ends, to serve as a "deck promenade.'

one quite admissible for an imaginary

and he agreed that glazed coffee surely
was a more favorable medium for the
propagation of bacteria than onglazod

Pure Food Commissioner Blackburn
says: "The State Is very much dated
over Its victory against this corpora

visability of Informing every grocer in
Hie State of Ohio that It Is an infrac

the same time give warning to con
Burners that the coffee Is an adulterat

The verdict of the jury in this case U j

1 General Ransom is as effective and
eloquent as he was in 1S47, when he de
livered the address of welcome to Pres
ident James K. Polk, aud one of his
cabinet. Mr. Mason, of Virginia. Tnat
address was delivered w ith much per
fection of art, and greatly pleased the
audience. General Ransom is not yet
an old man. He was born in lb20 and
is not yet seventy-five. He can com
mand-audiences now as few men in
North Carolina have commanded them
in the last half century. He is stately,
impressive and at times all aglow with
oratory. It is strange how soon men in
their prime are shelved or relegated to
the room of retirmeut as antiquated,
sterile and decadent, when in fact they
are able to command listening senates
