The Story OF a Bible.

Henry Stevens, the we'll known Amer
lean bibliophile, who has long resided
in London, in long letter to the Boston
Advertiser, furnishes some facts relative
to the Coverdale Bible which will be
of much interest to antiquaries and
biblical students. The translation oil
the Scriptures into English known as
Miles Coverdale's was completed Octo.
Der 4, 1886. This the volume itself tells
us, but where, by whom, or for whom il
was printed, has been mystery. Mr..
Stevens claims, on the authority of old
autograph letters now In the Guildhall
at London, and ON the statement of a
biography of Jacob Van Meteren, of
Antwerp, long unnotieed, that Van
Metercn was the translator and employed
Coverdale To revise and correct his work.
Van Meteren was connected by marriage
with the families Of William Orteliess,
and Of John Rogers, the Smithiield
martyr. When the translation of the
Bible was nearly completed a law was
passed compelling foreigners to sell their
editions entire to London stationers, so
that the English binders might not
suffer. Van Mcteren accordingly sold
his work to James Nicolson, Of South
work. All the copies of the Coverdale
Bible in the original condition have
appeared in English binding. While
Van Meteren was absent in England, in
1886, the magistrates of Antwerp, in
stigated probably by some of the English
emissaries, went to the house of Van
Meteren to search it, ostensibly for the
person of Leonard Ortelius, the uncle
Of Van Meteren's Ottilia, to arrest and
imprison him as Lutheran, but really
to search for forbidden books, such as
English Bibles and New Testaments.
The searchers who were harsh and cruel,
gave Madame Ottilia great alarm. She
prayed fcrvently to Alaighty God that
they might not find what they were in
search OF, and promised that If she and
hers were protected she would so mark
this providence of God by nam2ns the
child she was about to give birth to, If
son, as to commemorate the circum-
stance. Although the searchers fire.
quently laid their hands on the very
chest that contained the hidden books,
they did not find them. On the 9th of
July, 1885, son was born to her, and
keeping her promise, she named him
Emanuel-that is, God with us. This
boy, twin brother of the Coverdale
Bible, became distinguished man, a
scholar and historian. He passed most
of his life in London as merchant and
Dutch Consul He died the Sth of
April 1912, in his seventy-seventh
year. Toward the end Of the reign of
Edward vi, the Van Meterens, finding
Antwerp unsafe for them on account Of
their religion, they resolved to remove
with all their effects and penates to
London and live under the young King,
who had offered them an asylum. On
their passage from Antwerp the ship
that bore them was attacked by French
cruiser, burnt and sunk and so persisted
Jacob and Ottilia Van Meteren.

Deadening the Roar Of Steam.

Everybody that travels has experienced
the annoyance of having his ears
deafened when on board steamboat by
the roar of steam. Sometimes accidents
have occurred during the racket Of
blowing-off" simply because the cap.
tain cannot make his orders heard, and
everything is to be done in dumb show
while the disturbance lasts. Happily an
invention called the spiral exhaust noz-
zIe, is destined to choke off this noise. II
operates by breaking the waves of sound,
the escaping steam being surrounded
with wire helix. A report adopted by
the Committee on Science and Arts of the
Franklin Institute says: In view of
the annoyance, fright and danger arising
from the roar of escaping steam, and Of
the completeness with which the nozzle
destroys this roar, we are of the opinion
that Mr.. Shaw has done great service to
the community, and especially to the
transportation interests, in overcoming
an obnoxious and dangerous feature in
the use of steam; and we recommend the
award to him of the Scott legacy
premium and medal for his spiral
exhaust nozzle"

Dead in the Woods.
TCharlotte Is. CO. Observer

A story of singular horror comes to
us from Wilkes County. A few days
ago, in the lower edge of that county,
near the Yadkin line--a section of that
county which is sparsely populated and
almost entirely out of Communication
with the outside world-there were found
the bodies of three men named Speaks,
Mitchell, and Johnson, the bodies pierced
with balls and entirely lifeless. The
bodies of Speaks and johnson were
found lying close together; the body Of
Mitchell was about mile distant from
those of the others. The discovery oc-
casioned great CONSERVATION in the COM
munity, and the prevailing belief is that
the men were murdered by revenue
officers, though as far as is learned sus-
picion points to no particulr persons.
Gentlemen in this city who have lived
in Wilkes were acquainted with the
three men, and likewise with the locality
in which they lived. They were noted
blockaders, and have always been at
loggerheads with the revenue officers.

A Wake Spoiled.

This story is told of Westfeld Irish
man and vouched for as true: Return
ing to his home one night, about half
seas over" he found his wife fast asleep,
drunk. Finding his efforts to rouse her
Of no avail, he laid her on table and
covered her with sheet. Around the
body he placed a dozen or more lighted
candles, and upon the breast Bible and
cross. Then he went and aroused the
neighbors, telling them his wife was
dead, and he wanted they should come
to the wake. OF course they joyfully
accepted the invitation, and soon the
house was filled, and smoking, drinking,
eating, and groaning in full blast. The
fumes of the liquor, or the noise, awoke
the old lady, and unlike the generous
" Shaughraun, who wouldn't spoil his
own wake, she bounced to her feet, and
finding out what twas all about, made
it SO hot for the company that they
didn't stop for the rest Of the obsequies
but incontinently scattered, leaving the
poor husband to his fate.

A good dryer for paints is made by
grinding or dissolving a small quantity
of sugar of lead in linseed OIL
A good whitewash for walls is made
by adding to fresh Stacked lime and
water, solution of starch, little salt,
and few drops of dissolved indigo or
bluing.
Trees are often found in Lapland and
Siberia, converted into iron ore and
carbonate of copper. Lignites are
petrified trees, in state between peat

Yellow fir is looming up as ship
building timber. They have built forty
nine vessels of it within a year on the
Pacific coast Capacity eight thousand
tons), at cost of five hundred and
twenty thousand dollars.
A violet ink for rubber stamps is
made by mixing and dissolving aniline
violet two to four drachms, alcohol
fifteen ounces, glycerine fifteen ounces.
The solution is poured on the cushion
and rubbed in with brush.
In Durango, Mexico, there is a tin
bearing district more than twenty miles

The supply is SO great that metallic
tin can be produced at a cost of two

DIR. Henry Draper, of Hastings-on-the-
Hudson, has discovered that some of the
bright lines in the solar spectrum are pro-

THE CALIFORNIA CHINESE.

During the recent visit of Senator
Morton to California a delegation OF
Chinese merchants waited upon him
with regard to the troubles attendant
upon the presence of their countrymen
in California. The spokesman stated in
substance that there was a strong feel
ing against them, that their property
had been destroyed, that they had been
subjected to personal violence, that their
rights under the treaty had been dis.
regarded, that the State and the United
States governments failed to afford
them that protection to which they were
entitled, that they did not blame the
American people for this state of affairs,
recognizing the fact that it was the
foreign element that so strongly OPP
posed them, that having borne with this
treatment for many years with no pros
pect of relief they wished to adopt such
measures as would have a tendency to
check Chinese immigration, and to this
end requested the Senator to introduce a
bill at the next session of Congress pro-
viding for modification or abrogation
of the Burlingame treaty, and for levy
ing per capita tax of one hundred dol
lars on every Chinaman landing in
America, the proceeds of this tax to be
devoted to paying passage back to China,
of those Cinnamon who wish to return
but lack the means to do 30.
They also expressed their intention of
endeavoring to induce the Pacific Mail
and Occidental and Oriental Steamship
Companies to modify their rates of steer
age passage SO as to make the rate of
coming this way seventy-five dollars
while reducing the price thence to China
to thirty dollars; either way they ex-
pressed their readiness to provide all
means necessary to pay any expenses in
cident upon procuring such legislation.
Senator Morton expressed his willing
ness to introduce such bill. Touching
the recent troubles in the city the COM
mittee of safety have had repeated con-
situations with the leading spirits of the
workingman's party, anti-Coolie organi-
cations, etc., all of whom unite in
deprecating any resort to violence, and
announce their readiness to cooperate
in maintaining the peace of the city
against hoodlum assaults.

their ribs are sticking out in painful
prominence, and theirsk covered with
a dirty looking disquamation of cuticle,
described in the Irish famine of 1867
by DIR. Donovan as peculiar famine
eruption. If we look at the thousands
of people collected on the relief works
these famine marks are of almost uni
versal prevalence.
The Superintendent of Relief Opera
tions in Adoui reports that the journey
over one of his roads resembled the
path of great battle, in the numbers of
dead and dying. If the people had
been amitten by local outbreak of the
cholera in ordinary times they would

food that none could afford to leave the
works and lose their pay, even for a

GREAT efforts are being made to COM
plete as rapidly as possible the works of
the second as we'll as the first line of
the German fortresses. The new fronts
on the lett Dank of the Rhine at Cologne,
which, as originally intended, were not,
to be finished before the end of next
year, are already approaching compile
ton, and will be ready to be occupied
by their garrisons during the course of
the present, summer. The girdle Of de-
tached works round the fortress is to be
completed byaforts on the right bank of
the river Plans and designs for these
have been drawn up, and contracts for
their execution entered into, but the
work is to extend over four years. When
completed Cologne will be one of the
strongest of German fortresses. At
Metz the fort built since the late war at
Wolppy and named by the Emperor
after his Minister of War, General Won
Kamecke, has been handed over to the
engineers, and armed with guns of large
caliber and of the latest pattern. The
garrisons of the other forts are also to
be increased, in consequence of the in
crease in the German forces on the
French frontier.
