Nothing in London contains so much
of interest to us as the British museum
1t takes months to see it we'll, an \
large volume to give fair description.
It's Immense library j. only one feature
Its ancient sculptnr. took Us back to
the golden age OF q: .ece aud tho times
when Nlneveh hourished. Then there
are the Egyptian antiq uities, and am ong
them the famous Rosetta stone, the ia
scription on which, in three languages,
furnished the clew in decipherlng the
hieroglyphics for which Egypt is still
80 famous. The Rosetta stone Was
found by French officer near the
Rosetta mouth of the Nile, and at the
capitulation of Alexandria fell into the
hands of, the British, which item was
included in the terms of the surrender
Among the rbjects on which we gaz ID
with special interest was that MazLrIne
Bible the first issued from the press
the first printed Bible. 1t is in Latin
on vellum, published by Guttenburg
and Faust, in 1856. When that Bible
was issued the superstitious people
having never seen printed book con-
cluded that it must have been produced
by magic. Faust was arrested as u
magician, the red lux with which his
books were embellished was supposed
to be blood. They declared that he
was in league with the devil and he Was
carried off to prison from which he
could not obtain release until he had
made q full revelation of the art of
printing. The printed Bible was the
prelude to the reformatiou.-L to
the Darlington Haokeye.
