The Constantinople correspondent of The Tire Writes that a little while ago. an unusually enterprising local journalist in Constantinople unearthed an angiot namel Zorah, who was said to claim to have lived more than twice the tradi tional span of three score years and ten- allotted to human life.

Investigation proved that the ancient was not merely, the creation of Byzan tine journalism. He lives and moves and, has his being in the quarter known as Top Hanch, where the grimy small arm.! factory stands on the edge of the Blus Bosporus. There, in the humble and not over-clean coffee shop, Zorah receives the curious infidels who come to visit him, question him, and sometime photo- graph hid but, who never fail to leave. a pecuniary souvenir of their apprecia| tion.

Zurah is a Kurd, and says he was born in Bitlis in the Mahomedan year 1911. As the present secular year of the Slahomedan calendar is 1817. this would ninke his age 1 years. It is not quite " clear, however, whether he reckons by the secular or the sacred year, although in either case he would be an amazingly ok man. The present year is 1330 of the Hegira, and by this reckoning "Zorih's age would be 148 lunar, ùr about 158 sular, years. It is unfortunate that no- records of birth,or deaths are available to substantiate the old man's claims.

He considers they were cut off in their prime, for has he not a sou now living his native Bitlis who was born, nearly 7 years ago? Mashallah!
