Without debating the divine intervention that the Bible clearly indicates, Keller points out that this secretion has all the appearances and properties of the manna the Bible describes (“and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey”). The Israeli government, relying on the newly confirmed stature of the Bible as botanical expertise (“‘and Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba’”’), recently planted 2,000,000 tamarisk*trees there. Tumbling 14 MANNA ON A TAMARISK How nice of lice. Ursula TREE Kohn Biblical Detective Story Christians revere the Bible as a treasury of divine revelation; skeptics regard it as an unreliable collection of fable and folklore. Over the past century a host of scientists—archaeologists, geologists, astronomers, botanists—have added a third perspective. Beneath the barren plains and foothills of the ancient Biblical country, they have made discoveries revealing that, whatever. else it may be, the Bible is a remarkably faithful chronicle of history. In The Bible as History (William Morrow & Co.; $5.95), published in the U.S. next week, German Scientific Journalist Werner Keller skillfully sifts and summarizes the recent archaeological and scientific discoveries relating to Biblical times and places. The result is a lively blend of drama and reporting that reads like a detective story grafted on a history book. Walls. At the turn of the century, a German-Austrian expedition uncovered ancient Jericho, and by 1936, explorations had proceeded far enough for a British expedition to determine that the walls of Jericho had indeed fallen with great violence. Reported Expedition Leader John Garstang: “The space between the two walls is filled with fragments and rubble. There are clear traces of a tremendous fire.’ Says the Bible: “When the priests blew with the trumpets . . . and the people shouted with a great shout . . . the wall . and they burnt the fell down flat city with fire, and all that was therein.” Scientists conclude that an earthquake may have tumbled the walls. From 1899 to 1917, a team of Germans worked to excavate Babylon. In the process, they unearthed the remains of the Tower of Babel. The scientists were able towcalculate that it had been 295 ft. high, or about as high as the Statue of Liberty. The Queen of Sheba’s visit to King Solomon with “spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones” had often been thought a pious tale until archaeologists uncovered the ruins of Sheba in Yemen in 1951, found indication that the kingdom’s chief trade route ran through Israel. This threw new light on the Queen’s visit: it was probably a high level business conference. Significant Mud. Digging through an- cient rubbish at Ur near the Persian Gulf in 1929, British and American archaeologists came upon a 1o-ft. layer of mud far beneath the surface. Underneath the layer they discovered artifacts from the Stone Age. Excitedly, the scientists flashed a message to the world: “We have found the Flood.” Tests in surrounding areas showed that the layer of clay was the residue of a vast, catastrophic deluge that had in about 4000 B.C. covered the river plains of southern Mesopotamia, the center of the known world of that time. Such discoveries may disconcert the skeptics, but other findings are bound to upset Biblical fundamentalists, who insist on miracles where science is ready to offer natural explanations. Many scientists are now convinced that the rocks which Moses struck, “and the water came out abundantly,” were water-storing limestone, whose hard crust was*broken.by the blow. The bush that “burned with fire” .ande! yet “was not consumed” could have been _either the gas plant fraxinella, whose highly volatile oils sometimes ignite if approached with a naked flame, or certain mistletoe twigs whose crimson blossoms in full bloom resemble flames. As for the manna that nourished the Israelites in the desert, an expedition in 1923 confirmed an old suspicion: the manna was doubtless an edible white secretion of the tamarisk tree. When the tree is attacked by a species of plant louse, the substance oozes out, OL climate of Israel has not changed very much in the past 2,000 years, meteorologists know that Bethlehem was in the grip of frost in December. In Palestine, no good shepherd would think of keeping his flock in the fields under such circumstances. In general, Keller reports, science’s discoveries have proved the Bible startlingly accurate in many checkable details. Keller cites the case of a Bible-reading fr British nee major who surprised and decimated a Turkish force in Palestine in World War I by attacking through the same narrow | mountain pass which Saul and Jonathan had used to fall upon the Philistines centuries earlier. The Bible told just where to find it: “And between the passages. . . there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side... the forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.” A few years ago Israeli Businessman mann began to brood over the Niel Federaccount of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (“and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace”), guessed such conflagrations might indicate underground gas—and underground gas meant oil. He was right. In 1953 Israel’s first oil well went into operation near the ancient site of Sodom and Gomorrah. | 1 @ ae i] of WORTHINGTON Shoots Wildcat Worthington, Jan, 30. George E.

They might never guess that under the roof of this exquisitely restored old place built in 1780 there is one of the most: modern kitchens to be found in America. This is the Four Corners farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy W. McCann. The‘remodeling of the kitchen has been recently completed and is attracting wide attention, partly for its sheer beauty and its convenient appointments, and partly because it contains the first electronic oven to be installed in Western Massachu-| setts for domestic use. A leak from above has ruined| colonial for domestic in the kitchen ' Steel ‘cannot be used because. both reflect the energy.

Aboard the 180-ton replica of the Pilgrims’ ship was a crew of 27, commanded by Australian Alan Villiers, and a Lire photographer-reporter team. Built as a reproduction of the first Mayflower—with- out, however, copying “one of the main beams in the midships bowed and cracked”’ that Governor Bradford noted—the Mayflower makes a bow to modernity by carrying radio and radar. When she sailed April 20, Captain Villiers had hoped to make port by late May, but last “LIFE'’ TEAM, Photographer Gordon Tenney (left) and Maitland Edey, check their pictures aboard ship.

(pop. 515) are as tradition-prim and Yankee-proper as any other New Englanders, and they usually have a cold and suspicious eye for strangers. But right from the start they accepted George Humphrey, a nice fellow who last year bought a big, 15-room colonial house on 130 acres, and moved in with his wife and children. Jean Humphrey, 34, a slender, lively woman who once danced with the corps de ballet at Manhattan’s famed Radio City Music Hall, opened up dancing classes at Worthington’s Town Hall. George, 39, was a publisher, ran a little printing firm that turned out school yearbooks and similar furniture, food. “This,” explained one woman, “is not charity. It’s just a little help for some neighbors who need it. They were such wonderful people and helped the community in so many ways.” Said Jean Humphrey (who plans to continue her dancing classes): “I want to stay here in Worthington. All of a sudden, I have discovered the best friends I have ever known. It’s where everything is out in the open, where everybody knows. . . We'll start all over again.” HUMPHREY'S WIFE REFUSES OFFER TO. SEND HIM TO OHL0 publications. He liked to drive around in a $10,000 Continental Mark II, and wes known to be a mite expansive about his moneymaking prowess; he also gave the impression that he was related to former U.S. Treasury Secretary George Humphrey. He had a little printing press in his basement, and a friendly real-estate man who saw it once joshed: “You could make a bundle of ten-dollar bills on that Accused Counterfeiter “ Will Not Attend Mother's Funeral Rites machine.” “Yes,” laughed George, “that’s right,” and he hustled his visitor into another room. E Fortnight ago U.S. Treasury agents arrested George and two other men in Boston, then sped to Worthington to coniiscate a complete counterfeiting setup in Humphrey’s cellar, including $5,500 in inexpertly printed $10 and $20 bills, as well as negatives and plates for making Canadian currency and American Telephone ‘ Worthington, Sept. 28—The wife of accused counterfeiter George A.

Of late, everybody knew, the Humphreys had been terribly short of money: their phone had been disconnected and bills had been piling up in the house for months. Ingenrously, George had been carrying on. assuring his creditors that he would soon make good his debts; George’s word was good enough. With George in jail, the Humphreys lost their mortgaged house and most of their chatteled belongings. But the townsfolk, though they do not make friends casually, rallied to the friends they had made. Neighbors called on Jean, o~ ered shelter for her and her four children, Humphrey would be permitted to attend the funeral. ‘‘In such cases the Federal Bureau of Prisons extends permission for a prisoner to leave for the funeral.
