Sodom and Gomorrah Excavations Confirm Biblical Fire Destruction
Archaeological digs on the Dead Sea site confirm the Bible account of Sodom and Gomorrah. Father Mallon identifies four Cities of the Plain, with two sister towns occupying a shared site. Pottery dates span Neolithic to Early Bronze, showing occupation before 2500 B.C. to no later than 2100 B.C. Fire destruction ended the settlement, with a salt pillar linked to Lot's wife lore remaining debated.

Queenslanders Best in Arithmetic in Australia Tests
Queensland school children topped a nationwide AR[ithmet]ic assessment by the Australian Council for Educational Research, with results so close across other states that a merit order announcement was delayed pending deeper analysis. Convicts at Maidstone prison sent a wreath to the funeral of J. C. Dunk, a popular visitor and superintendent of the Maidstone St John Ambulance Corps. An early Christian chapel dating from the fourth century was excavated near Budapest at Aquincum, showing evidence of an ancient Christian community. A Livingstone Memorial exhibit in Blantyre now features Livingstone's 1865 overcoat, later owned by Bishop Maples and Charterhouse School. Bank managers in Reigate and Redhill plan a mat-activated alarm system to trigger police alerts for robberies.
