Phlladelphia.~—Plcks and shovels of
modern archeological expeditions are
rewriting the Biblical study of the
flood on the banks of the anclent
Euphrates, in Mesopotamia,
A serles of moving pletures, taken

of Dr. C. Leonard Woolsey, were
brought to the museum by Doctor
Woolsey and exhibited to the public.
These show that the Biblical recital
of the risen waters, which eliminated
the races of the Euphrates, Is a leg-
