My Lord Flnlny seems to think some

l Conductor Refuses Penny.
Almost two years ago one John
Percy climbed upon a street car In the
city of Glasgow. He tendered to the
conductor of tlio car In payment of his
fore a penny which was slightly
marked nnd Indented. It was, in fact,
penny which John Percy had him
self received earlier in tho day from
another conductor, and ho determined
to return It in tho way by which It
had coino to him. Tho conductor, how
ever, did not Uko tho looks of the
penny, and demanded another In its
place. John Percy said it was good
enough und refused to gtvo another.
An Inspector was called to reinforce
tho conductor, nnd still John Percy re
fused. Finally ho was mnrched off to tho
police station on a charge of refusing

This Is the belief of Dr. 0. E. Get

Angeles.
Doctor Getslnger's conclusion Is
based upon recent discoveries follow
ing 35 years' research work and in
tensive study. He declares that tho
Ark of Noah was not n ship. It wns
the great pyramid of Cheops In Egypt.
Iteccnt discoveries prove that tho

were under the sea for thousands of
years. Near tlio top of each of tlio
pyramids, nt tho snmo level, is a

they have boon accredited. Cheops
merely repaired them and caused n

Mystery of tho Pyramldo.
And ho Is convinced that tho pyra
mid stands today n living monument
to an old nnd noble philosophy, a
grenter civilization than any wo havo
since attained. That great pyramid
which, together with the sphinx and
the nine smnllcr pyrnmlds, hnve for
centuries exercised tho wonder and
astonishment of scientists, who have
frankly admitted that they could not
hnve been built upon any known pos
sible conditions, and that wo have
even today no means 1iy which the
lmmcnso stones used in the construc
tion could be transported and adjusted
Into their present position.
In the great pyramid there nro
threo chambers which conform to
God's directions to Nonh for tho
building of tho Ark against tho com
ing of tho great flood "with lower,
second and .third stories shalt thou,
make it."
And these three chambers, named
for tho three sons of Nonh, Shem,
Hnm nnd Jnphet, Doctor Getslnger
thinks aro Intended to represent tho
threo strntqs of human life nnd In
telligence. The chamber of Shem, tho
lower, symbolizes tho nnlmnls who
havo no souls. The second chamber,
Ham, symbolizes human beings with
souls, but of lesser intellectual and
spiritual attnlnmcnt. And tlio highest
chamber, that of Jnphet, symbolizes
tho Inspired teachers tho spiritual
Intellectuals, souls of greater under
standing. Spiritual Animals.
Tho entranco which Is 52 feet abovo
tlio ground, Doctor Getslnger declares,
was so placed that tho North Star,
tho polar star, could shlno directly
Into tho interior from the Heavens
which It did 30,000 yenrs ngo, nnd
after a complete cycle, so shines again
today.
This Egyptologist thinks that tho
unlmals that went into tho Ark wero
not material anlmnls but spiritual
animals, tho animals of tho Zodiac
Aries, the Ham; Taurus, the Bull;
Cancer, tho Crab; Leo, tho Lion;
Scorpio, the Scorpion (Insects) ; Cn
prlcornus, tho Goat; Pisces, tho Fish,
together with II. Gemini, the Twins;
Virgo, tho Virgin; Libra, tho Bal
ance; Sagittarius, tho Archer, and
Aquarius, the Water-Bearer.
The great flood of Noah's day did
not BUbmergo tho whole of tho pres
