June 23 The publication nete relay of the discovery made by Dr. UEjioB of Jesus College, Oxford, of a -re-srmitic account of the deluge among eriy Babylonian tablets disinterred yupur aroused the greatest Interest iaioaa scholars and students of the Bible in this city. The discovery Is described as "clearly the original of that -reserved in the Book of Genesis. The tablet contains a reference to the ran of Man. brought about by his eating fruit.

ThU la the first reference to the Fall found la Babylonian literature The tablet came from an early library nt and is now. with a number ef others In the museum of the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia. Lest October Dr. Xnngdon visited the museum end copied the Inscriptions on sbout fifty tablets of the Nippur collection. One of these tablets is n-criTed with hymn to Ximtud.who la Babylonian legend Is ths creatress can.

Ths hymn contains the Babylon-iin version of the Flood and In contrast with the famous "Chaldean account of the Deluxe discovered by George Smith in 157- agrees with ths Biblical account is naming a patriarch who saved the world from a catastrophe by reason of his piety. It further agrees with ths Biblical narrative in making him a gardener or agriculturist and in ths duration of nine months assigned to the flood. The name of the patriarch la given as Tagtog tt Semitic Nuhu." it is related that after the flood Xoah became "like fjir which le Interpreted to mean that he received the gift of extraordinary longevity.

With this rsvelation the tablet breaks off. It le notable that this "revelation of wisdom" Is related by Berosaus. a Babylonian historian, who wrote in the time of Xebuehadnessar.

Professor Langdon has found the origin ef the Book of Genesis and his discovery foes to prove the authenticity of that work. George Smiths discoveries in Chaldea, which was the ancient name for Babylonia. In 1872 and 1878 while fairly complete, differed in material facts from the text of the Book of Geneaia as handed down by tbo Hebrew. That led to a great amonut of controversy which has never been satisfactorily settled, low. the Chaldean account of the lteluge is ef later date than the Nippur tablets that Professor Langdon has Just translated.

That proves that they are an account of the same story corrupted by generations of tolling and shaping to the religious necessities of the day. The Lanedon translations are of writing that might date back to over 2000 years while those of the Chaldean account must lte from about between 600 and 10U0 icars c. Thus it la easily deduced that the Jew obtained the more ancient account ef the Deluge, for at tho time all those countries were under the same king or emperor. Later tho Jews became a separate kingdom, and kept tho old story perfect snd Intact, whllo In Assyria and Asia Minor it was corrupted and adapted t- the needs of tho people. Tho account ef the Fall of Man.

In which Xoah appears instead of Adam, requires further explanation. It is my opinion that a fragment of tho Enoch legend has entered into this and- created confusion that has resulted in the Identities of Adam and Xoah being confused. This, hawsver. is only conjecture. diversity Is Scored "It seems a hnwe that it took an Eng-kh professor to make this discovery.

Rev.

Carter Helm Jones, D. IX. of Seattle, president of tho American Baptist Foreign Missionary Society, was In the chair and ha enlivened the proceedings with numerous jokes and stories, memories of hla native State, Ylr-dnla. His address on The Challenge of the Hour was full of dramatic interest. Ha spoke of passing along Commonwealth avenue and stopping to look, at tho statue of William Lloyd Garrison.

"I did not alwsyu love him. said Dr. Jonas, for I wms born at a time when oven his name meant much bitterness of feeling. But as stood there end reed what he said when threatened by violence. I took off my hat and said Thank God for a man who had tho courage to live and speak words which disenthralled and nnmanacled millions of our That is tho spirit of fearlessness and courage that this society needs unless It seeks to bury Itself In ths cemeteries of tho past.

An open parliament followed thle address when many questions were asked and answered regarding ths business affairs of tho organisation. Mrs. Helen W. Montgomery said that she felt that a mistake had been made In counting converts rather than weighing them. 8he rejoiced that God has so honored Baptist missionaries that they can claim to have done so much with so little, but tho thing now la to make tbo most of a wonderful opportunity and see that tho mission field, especially ths schools, be strengthened, coordinated and equipped so that ilevoted people may not be disheartened.

Mornay Williams of New Tork said that ths Idea for delegates to take back to their homo churches la not that better men are needed but more men; not better policies but more Intensive work; not how much less may bo spent but how much more consecration each one can give to the cause of Christ. The introduction of missionaries on furlough came next on tho programme: Rev. A. C. Baldwin, the foreign secretary, told how the spirit of brotherhood Is coming Into tho world through tho redeeming touch of the son of God; what the century has revealed, snd what ths futurs has In store In missionary effort snd added: It Is a hard thing to put a man on ths flring-llns snd then take sway his powder.

Rev. 8. E. Moon from Congo Land bad tho sympathy of the assembly ms ho compared that mission with a child who has now reached the hlgh-chslr stags after generations of living on tho ground level. His address sparkled with incidents of genuine human Interest which showed hla work In darkest Africa, which means uplift In every oenao of tho Rev.

BlackaU, Opens Today' The Modern Theatre, the latest acquisition to Boston's list of new theatres, opened to tho publie thle morning. Tho theatro la located at 528 Washington street, in the very heart of the shopping district, facing the busiest part of the etreet.

It is ths most elaborate snd costliest theatre of its siss In New England, snd Is owned snd operated by the Modern Theatre Company, of which J. Lourfs is the head. It will be devoted to the exclusive exhibition of the very best photo-plays, vocal snd musical selections. Tbo front on Washington street le in the form of a triumphal arch, constructed entirely of cream white snd elaborately carved Vermont marble. A high marble dado around the vestibule Is carried out in a selected shade of Italian Tavemelle marble.

The parquet has a high dado of dark, rich mahogany, snd ths floor slopes sharply towards tha stage, os as to giro a perfect view from every seat. The general character of the Interior is Florentine Renaissance. The walls are covered with a rich imitation of antique tapestry and tho general effect is of dark Circassian walnut and mahogany, with decorations in shades of dull gold, brown and green. Quaint old-gold electric fixtures support tbo lights The screen for moving pictures ie fixed on the beck wall of the stage and treated In aluminum. The finish of the stage suggests rather the idea of an alcove In nn elaborate, sumptuous privets home.

At tbe rear of the stage on one side are numerous dressing-rooms and storerooms Beneath ths stags in a specially constructed fireproof enclosure, is tha boiler room, entirely cut off from tho rest of tho building. In tho centra of tho musicians' space In front of the stage Is a large consols from which ths Ester organ is to bo operated. Tha organ is one of the best installed in any theatre in this country. Tho acoustics havo been carefully supervised by Dean Wallace C. Babins of Harvard.

A most elaborate system of heating snd cooling has been Installed. An artesian well hms been driven to a depth of nearly 000 feet below the street level, and a supply of over 100 gallons per minute of fresh, cold water has been obtained. This water will be pumped to tho surface snd used to cool and wash the air, which in winter time will be reheated and sent by means of fans to all parts of the hofise. In warm weather ths sir will be cooled in such a manner that ths temperature can be maintained at TO degrees even in the hottest weather outside. Powerful exhaust fans are also Installed, which remove tbe air from the auditorium The amount of exit space In the theatre Is 00 per cent in excess of the maximum width required by tbe building law for a theatre of this else.

4 The theatre has been constructed from tho plane snd under the supervision of C. H. BlackaU. It has a seating capacity of nearly 800. THE PROBLEM OF WRITING PAPER Writing-paper probably stands for rather more than It Is worth.

It Is possible, for Instance, to bo appreciative of a thick, rough paper, covered with two words In a dashing hand, and to sniff at real worth. If expressed on mean-looking paper suggestive of a bill. And since wo are. rightly or wrongly, affected by tho outward show of writing-paper It behoves us to show a certain nicety In our choice thereof. On the whole there le a good deal to bo said for ths thick, rough paper Invariably used by tho salf-respectlng novel heroine.

Quito frankly It expresses a comfortable income, and may express good taste. At tho same tin thick paper demands a thick pen, and those who do not use thick pens should beware of anything but smooth-Ish paper. There are various compromises between tha really glossy surface and tha ploughed-field effect of a linen paper. The most satisfactory of these Is a kind of fairly thin, tough lavender paper, suggestive of parchment, and very often used by old-established banks. Cut In a form that does not suggest business, It has an attractive air of defloration, and Is pleasantly slim to open.

'With regard to headings there are a number of mistakes to avoid. One of those mistakes Is gold In any form whatsoever. Tho next thing Is a passion for Gothlo lettering or any kind of essentially ornamental address. Finally, it is desirable to avoid, even when very young Indeed, such headings as ones Christian name In a neat little scroll or circle. A monogram Is tolerable, hut to Introduce ono-solf as "Mlllla to friend and foe and acquaintance alike Is silly and not oven babyish.

Ths best possible heading Is tho full address In big square letters In some dark color, or In thin square letters. In which case tho stamping must bo very good. With regard to shape, tho present fashion Inclines towards tho square This fits rather wall Into tho wallet-shaped envelope which Is always rather attractive Ths stamped half-sheet Is. both useful and sensible and quits In keeping with tho hurried note of present-day letter-writing.

Letter In ths day they can make use of tho trolley service; but If they cannot have an early service by tbo railroad they will havo to gtvo up their market gardening and move into Boston.

Chairman Macleod of tho Commission stated that It may bo a business necessity for tho communities to havo that train service, and J.

Dipping Into tho future, ho boss ths battleship fiesta huddled In boom-protected harbors in order to avoid falling a pray to submarines. Ths dreadnoughts will become tho dread alls and bomb-proof dry-docks will havo to be built as their last refuge from tho now scourges of war tho submarine and tbe aeroplane. This exaltation of tho submarine as tho last thing In sea warfare will appeal to peace advocates everywhere, and may console statesmen appalled at the vast Increase In tho cost of naval armaments. Yet It will hardly put a stop to tho construction of naval titans. The control of tho sea' Is still with thorn.

Though submarines may destroy other ships and thus prove an extraordinary factor In defence, they cannot In themselves constitute a satisfactory offence. They cannot patrol tha oceans, protect trade qnd securo distant communications. Their speed 1 still much below that of tho big ships and they must corner the latter or take thorn by surprise In order to destroy thorn. Tho little David of the submarine may ho destined some day to vanquish tho big Goliath of tho battleship; But few will believe It possible until after tho fact Slxaola Sails with Passengers The United Fruit Companys steamship Slxaola sailed for Havana and Fnaama today wit hthese passengers: Colonel Fred A.
