Prof. Hilprecht brought w th him some
of Ihe tablets marked with cuneiform

lie has tieen exploring Ihe mounds of
ancient Nippur for eleven years; In the
past twelve months he made the discovery
of the library of ihe temple of ancient
Nippur, and ihe remains of a palace con
tulmog evidences of whai might he called
'modem conveniences " The library tnb
b*t. Which have been described In this
newspaper, throw light on how people
lived In Nippur at about the time Adam
and Km were heretofore supposed to be
living In the Harden of Bolen.
"The Importance of this find to our elv
lllaatton and the liesring It has on the
history of the world atl Its religion Is
great," sold Professor Hllprwht to-day.
"The chief iKiint lo he remarked Is the
fact chat w* have found the first Baby
lonian temple library that has ever been
discovered Hitherto, we have possessed
nothing more titan the knowledge of Ihe
probable contents of such a library from
copies found In Ihe royal library of
Ashurbnnnpal In Ninevh. which was
discovered slxlv years ago. Tlds royal
llluaty, however, was a compilation of
documents from all over Babylonia, so

Is of mojor Importance, a knowledge of
the I'terature of he period Of special
import a pee Is tha fact that we have not

at Ihe oldest In the whole country. No
