According to scriptural chrono
logy, the world is about 5,900 years
old, the theory most generally ac
cented being that the creation oc
curred 4,004 years before the begin
ning of the Christian era. Professors
Haynes and Hillpracht, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, who have
been conducting excavations in the
ruins of the East, have recently made
discoveries which seem to prove a
high state of civilization 7,000 years
before the birth of Christ . Large
numbers of stone tablets have been
found in Nipur, the buried city of
the Euphrates, which carry back hu
man written history nearly 3,000
years further than any records here
tofore known. Prof. S. A. Binion,
an eminent archaeologist and Egyp
tologist, a member of the Biblical
Archaeological Society of London,
says: "Not a doubt has been ex
pressed as to the correctness of the
dates of the tablets taken from pre
historic Nipur and which have just
been deciphered. Assyrian chrono
logy up to the time of Sargon is not
so much beset with obstacles
as the Egyptian. Their scribes
puf down the dates. counting
the years from the acces
sion of various rulers. The day of
the month and the year are invari
ably given on these tablets, and as
their months are lunar, bearing the
same names and exactly corresdond
ing to the present Jewish calendar.
it is within easy reach of the chron
ologist. " Nipur is upon the very
spot where the Garden of Eden is
thought to have been situated and a
few miles from the Tower of Babel.
The ruins from which the tablets
were excavated are under more than
thirty -six feet of earth, upon the top
of which were ruins of the ancient
city of Nipur, regarded by archae
ologists as one of the oldest known
Both of these cities, one undsr the
other, had the same name, although
they were separated by more than
6,000 years of time.

commended, to the attention of the

It is estimated that the popula
tion of Kansas is fully 100,000 less
now than it was when the census of
1890 was taken, and the exodus con
tinues. A large part of the State is
a semi-arid region and -utterly unre
liable for agricultural purposes.
Crops there have been almost a total
failure in two of the last five years.
Thousands of Kansas farmers moved
last year to more favorable regions
and thousands more are preparing
to leave. Ueogia has received quite
a lar?e number of settlers from
L.tmas. Some of them have joined
the Fitzgerald colony and are so well
pleased that they will induce many
of their former neighbors to join
them. Alabama, Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi have also received many
colonists from Kansas in the last
live years, and generally they are
prospering.

Richmond has recently made a re
port of its experiment in the way of

, that the citizens have been supplied
