found at different points about the magazine
and at dittances from 1t varying from 50 to

left to tell the story. On the night Of Au-
gust 9th. burglars endeavored to open the
magazine by inserting slycerine into the
lock and firing it with fuse. The attempt
failed. and the explosive remained in the

attempt was made to burglarize the cafe and
disarrange the lock. Balver and his
friends were trying to open the

EdisOn's Electric Light.

A New York reporter has interviewed
Edison concerning his invention for the
dissemination of light by electricity.
When asked whether he was ready to
give the public the secret of his inven-
tion for the subdivision Of the electric
light, Mr.. Edison said "My patent in
England is all right, but have received
no returns from the continent. As soon
as am protected there, the whole thing
will be made public. The invention is
so simple that everybody can under
stand it"
care you still confident that you can
produce an electric light that will be
cheaper than gas and give as good a
light? ?"
"I am more than ever confident" he
replied. 81 may say that T am positive.
am experimenting night and day to as
certain the exact cost, but am already
sure that the light will be much cheaper
than gas
With an eighty horsepower engine,
Mr.. Edison purposes to light Menl0
park. He says he will start in with
1900 lights. He will use telegraph
poles, with arms across the tops, plac-
ing fifteen lights on each arm. The
lights will be run across the plateau far
out into the woods. 81 shall also put
them in all the houses around here"
he said, "to see how the women folks
handle them" The main object is to
ascertain how many electric Jets, each
equal to one gas jet, can be obtained
from one-horse power. The expert
ment will also enable him to discover
any defects and make the invention COM
plete before trying to adapt it to the
great cities.
"The thing cannot be done in day."
said Mr.. Edison. "I am working on
principle without known laws to guide
me, and the experiments demand both
time and money. They require thor
ough knowledge of chemistry, me-
tallurgy, electricity, the laws Of light
and heat, steam engineering, magnetism,
and other sciences. They must be made
by practical man, who ia conversant
with almost every science outside of
bones and botany. can't say that 1
am that man. but do say that / have
men with me who understand what do
not understand. The subdivision of the
light is perfectly successful, and its
utility, to my mind, already assured.

The NEnnYe Rihle.v

About two centuries ago an idea
partly originated by Fuller-was cur
rent that in some rare editions the
apostle Paul designated himself "Paul,
knave of Jesus Christ" No such
Bible ever existed and the Duke of
Lauderdale, the well-known Scotch vice
roy of Charles H., having in vain en-
deavored to procure one, it occurred to
Thornton, worthless fellow by all ac-
counts, that he could, by little inge-
nuity, crafty his grace and serve HIM
self at the same time. He got Mat
thews Bible dated MDXXXVII., and
by careful manipulation he erased the
XVII, thus leaving the date 1920
instead of 1537-ffteen years earlier
than the Oldest English Bible extant,
that of Coverdale. Not content with
this daring imposition, he in similar
manner rubbed out the word "ser-
vaunte" in Romans i. l. and sub
stituted "kHeawe," made up OF let
ters cut from other parts of the volume,
80 that the verse read, "Paul, kneawe
of Jesus Christ" instead of &C Paul, a
servaunte of Jesus Christ" The book
thus mutilated was taken to the duke,
who gave him seventeen guineas for it.
Although "the mark of the razure was
very visible" Lauderdale was apparent
ly pleased with his unique bibliographi-
cal treasure, and had his arms and
coronet stamped on both sides. How
the forgery was discovered is not men,
toned but DR.. Eadie remarks that q
volume said to be the identical copy was
sold at book sale in London in 1865.
Hence its being sometimes called the
"Knave Bible" which designation, in
more senses than one, it certainly de.
served. Chambers Journal.

Chances Of Life,

We have an old document in our pos
session which contains some interesting
information unknown to many, and
rarely encountered in the papers.
Among other things it contains table
exhibiting an average age attained by
persons employed in the various popu-
lar professions of the day. In this par
ticular, as in most others, the farmers
have the advantage over the rest of
mankind, as their average age is sixty
five. Next upon the docket come the
judges and justices of the peace, the
dignity of whose lives is heightened out
to sixty-four. Following them imme-
diately in the category of longevity is
the bank officer, who runs up his ac-
count at the age of sixty-three. Public
officers cling to their existence with as
much pertinacity as they retain their
places-they never resign their offices,
but life forsakes them at fifty-six.
Coopers, although they seem to stave
through life, hang on till they are fifty
eight. The good works of the clergy
men follow them at fifty-fve. Ship
wrights, hatters, lawyers and ropemak-
ers (some very appropriately go to-

"Village Blacksmith" " like most of his
contemporaries, dies at fifty-one. Butch
ers follow their bloody career for pre-
cisely half century. Carpenters are
brought to the scaffold at forty-nine.
Masons realize their cry of " Mort p at
the age af forty-seven. Traders cease
their speculation at forty-six. jewelers.
are disgusted with the tinsel of life at
forty -four. Bakers, manufacturers and
various mechanics die at forty-three.
The painters yield to their collie at forty
two. The brittle thread of the tailor's
lie is broken ut forty-one. Editors,
like all other beings who come under
the special admiration of the gods, die
comparatively young-they accomplish
their errand of mercy at forty. The
musician redeems his last note and plays
his dying fall at thirty-nine. The pro-
fessional dancer shuffies off his mortal
coil at thirty-nine. Printers become
dead matter at thirty eight. The ma
chinist is usually blown up at thirty
six. The teacher usually dismisses his
scholars at the age OF thirty -four, and
the clerk is even shorter lived, for he
must needs prepare his balance-sheet at
thirty.three. No account is given of
the average longevity of wealthy uncles
the inference is fair, therefore, that
they are immortal. Albion.
