IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
An .incient Manuscript of the New Testa
mcnt Found at Damascus.


We have reason to believe that a dis
covery of equal Importance to New Tes-
lament scholars with that which gave
Codex Aleph TO the world has Just been
made. The rumor current in well-in-
formed quarters credits the new find to
Bryennois, the learned Arch hbishop of
NicOmedia. The completion of the
Epistle of Clement of Rome, and the
unique manuscript of the Teaching of
the Apostles have made him famous for
discoveries even in this age Ofdiscovery.
But if the rumor that has come to US be
true, and we think there are good rea-
sons for believing it to be SO, his name
will be more closely identified
with the New Testament itself
1t is said that in some Turk
ish library at Damascus he has
found a manuscript of the New Testa-
ment dating from about the middle OF
the fourth century,. G., of the same
antiquity as the Codex Sinaiticus In
deed, somc apprehensions are felt
whether IL is not altogether too much
like the Sinsitic manuscript to be of the
phenomenal importance that other
totally independent manuscript of the
same age would be. IL, as is said, and
we are not yet in a position to speak of
OF Z as more than q rumor, the new
Co resembles the Sinaitic, not only
in tho additional books that are ap-
pended 70 1.-THE Epistle of Barnabas
and the Shepherd Of Hermas. I'VE wonder
whether, unlike tho Sinaitic, it con-
tsins all the lstterl-- but also in the
peculisrities OF text. IS would seem TO
be almost duplicate OF the Sinaitic.
both forming. perhaps, part of an
edition issued for the common use Of
the Palestinisn church. But even
IL this should prove to be the case, il
would tend TO show that the general
type of text represented By il and the
few older manuscripts was more com
monty accepted than the defenders Of
the received text allow IL % have been.

THE THEORY OF DEW.
All the Pretty Fancies of Poets Upset by
Hard Facts.

1t is now held by the best physicians
that instead of falling from above the
dew arises from the earth. The gener-
ally-received opinion that the dew is
formed Of vapOr existing at the time in
the atmosphere must be given up for the
established fact that the vapor which
arises from the heated earth is trapped
by the cold surface earth. Resides, when
we imagine that on a cool evening after
a sultry day in summer our feet are be-
ing wet bv the dew on the grass, we make
a grave mistake. For that moisture on
the grass is not dew at all, it is false
dew-in reality the transpired humor OF
the plants. The drops at the tips, which
glisten diamond like, are not dew: close
examination shows that these crystalline
spheres are all situated at the points
where the veins of the leaves cut the
outer edges. These drops only give evi-
dence of the vitality OF the plant
The difference between the true dew
on the grass and the exuded drops
through the veins from within the grass
can be easily distinguished, for the for
nher is distributed all over the blade in
amoist film; whereas the latter are oi
some size, and are situated near the tips
of the blade Altered, then, is the
meaning of the line: "Ilka blade o
grass keeps its ain drap o dew" for
those brilliant globules on the petal
shaking TO the same sweet air and
often gliding AZ once all fragrant into
one" are no dewdrops, but are exuds
tions Of the healthy plants. They give
evidence Of the elixir vitn of vegeta
ton: whereas, the true dew is the
pearly inster, vanished in 6lmy hu
midity over the blades by that won
drous alchemy which transforms the
water vapor rising from the ground
into the plant refreshing dew.-Good
Words.
