An attempt to make a scientific investigation into the origin and substance of the manna, which the Bible records served as food for the Israelites in the desert, will be made soon.

A group of experts of the Agricultural Experiment Station maintained in Palestine by the Zionist Organization, will proceed to the Sinai Peninsula for the purpose of undertaking this study. It is expected that the work of the experts will begin in the summer.
