The American Bible Society.

This national and catholic organization has
been engaged for siXty-siX years in circulating
the Holy Scriptures without note or comment
1t ha. distributed above forty millions of cop
les IN more than eighty languages or dialects ;
thus reaching by its ministrations every quar-
ter of the globe.
Not a few of these volumes have been grant
ed gratuitouSly to mission churches, Sabbath
schools, hospitals and asylums.
1t has prepared at great expense the entire
Bible in raised letters for the blind
1t has supplied hundreds of thousands of
volumes to immigrants landing upon our
shores and hundreds of thousands more to the
freedmen, and has paid especial attention to
the spiritual wants Of the North American In
dians.
Its publications are furnished to those who
wish to purchase them at the mere cost of man
ufacture, and at ten per cent. below cost to
auxiliary societies and dealers in books. Thus
the benevolent features of the Socety's work
are manifest, not i'll its grants only, but also in
its sales.
1t conducts an extensive system of colport-
age, not less than 10 persons being at present
employed in this service in our own country,
and PA in foreign lands.
The Society is now engaged for the fourth
time in the general supply of the United States

ought to be larger than usual, that they may
not only be able to accomplish efficient work at

this period of increased expenditure.
1t is hoped that individuals and churches ac-
customed to forward contributions directly to
the Bible House, will feel disposed to continue
and enlarge their offerings, and that others,

The History of Moving Machines.

Cutting grain and grass by machinery is not
recentinyenton. The principle has long been
known and used, and it may not be uninterest-
ing to briefly trace such portions of its history
AS are authentic. Pliny, who wrote about A.
-. 60, describes a machine used in some parts
of Gaul, Il sort of a cart pushed instead of be-
ing drawn by oxen. The cartycarried box,
across the forward end of which was attached
a series of fingers, probably sharpened on the
edges, and closely resembling a comb. This be-
ing pushed on to standing grain stripped off the
heads, which were caught in the box. The Gel
ebrated heading machines of the West are sim
ply reproductions of this one described, substi-
tutng recprocating for stationary knives.
1t is somewhat strange that this idea should
remain dormant for 100 years. It was not
until 1856 that Mr.. Pitt suggested machine
with revolving knives pushed against the grain,
and several reaping machines were built upon
this plan, or similar to it, In 1922 Mr. Ogle, of
England invented the recprocating knife This
machine had the cutting apparatus at the sjde a
reel to gather the grain, and a platform on
which it fell, which tilted to drop the gavel
Thus it was "a years ago that machine was
in use having oU the essentials of our reaperS of
to-day. Up to this time experiments We're con-
fined to England but in 1926 Samuel Love, of
Maine. built a combined reaper and thresher.
He was followed by others, in part, who seve-
rally claimed to be inventors of valuable i'm
proyements, the most important of which was
that of HI sey, who patented the open guard
in lS4T, Hussey built reaping machines as
early 1898, and was successful. Mccormick
in 1884 pushed his inventions with ygor and
success 50 much so that he was generally sup
posed to be the first inventor. improvements
followed Improvements, and up to 1851 over
1000 patents had been granted on various at
tachmcnts and devices. very few of which were
of any practical use. In 1858 patent was issued
that allowed the cutter bar to he elevated. This
was known as the hinged cutter bar. The
elevation was only to Il lHtiie3 trhat. It is under
this patent that most Of the (so-called) flexible
bar moving machines are built. From 1866 to
1870 a series of patents were issued which reyo-
lutonized the whole flexible bar system, and
this with the Morgan draft, are the patents

out of his way. The whale was so big it
was some time before he knew anything

he mad He just gathered himself up
and started and the way he took that
boat through the water was awful
"NoW, about a mile ahead Of the
whale, there was q great iceberg drifting
along. The whale saw it and he steered
for it, head on. You see, he was so mad
he didn't stop to think, and he just ran
bis tigurehead right into it, He struck it
so hard that the berg was knocked into
little pieces, no bigger than good sized
pumpkin, and it was nine hundred feet
high, and thirty six hundred feet under

us better, he smashed his own head, for
which we felt very much obliged to him !;

"Eour hundred tons only" replied
Chips.
"Den how you put eight hundred tons

"Why, you see, Doctor, that was blub-

and only left four hundred tons. That S
