BIELE MATHEMATICS,

A recent number OF the Boston Sun
day Herald contains most remarkable
article by Mr.. Ivan Panin on the mathe-
matics OF the Bible. AS the result OF an
elaborate and most painstaking Investi-
CATION, the writer asserts that the "New
Testament is built on mathematical
laws exactly corresponding to the laws
on which stars are built in the skies,
and plants and minerals on earth"
There is no denying the unique interest
OF his figures. From the repetition OF
certain words and certain quotations he
proves to his own satisfaction the work
ing Of harmonious law, which may be
briefly summed up in the statement
that these words and quotations occur
always in squares, cubes, sevens, elevens,
or multiples thereof. For example, the
New Testament consists OF twenty seven
books, the work Of eight different writ
ers. Both these numbers are cubes
He takes the name Jesus, and sets down
the number OF times it occurs in each of
tho books Of the New Testament. The
rule prevails. In Titus, for instance, it
occurs four times, and four is the square
OF two. In Second Thessalonians, it is
repeated twelve times, the square OF
two multiplied by three. In Luke,
eighty four is the total number OF rope
titions, and eighty-four is the square Of
two multiplied by three multiplied by
seven. John mentions the name 242
times, and that number is the square OF
eleven when multiplied by two. Sc
through them ali. This is remarkable
enough, but there is more to follow. An
analysis OF the repetition Of the words
Christ and Father produces exactl,
similar results in favor OF the mainte
nance OF the law. The number of quo
tations from the Old Testament to bt
found in the New, the mention of tn,
names OF the disciples, the number o
chapters in the various books OF th'
Bible, and even critical analysis OF tn
important words and phrages used il
the writings Of the Apostle John. al
seem TO demonstrate the truth OF tn,
writer's theory.
Having enunciated his idea and quot
ed figures in its support, the writer pro
ceeds to show wherein it may be of use
He takes standard concordance, AM
cODsults it as to the occurrence Of tn
word Moses in the New Testament

five times, will do. and diligent seac

bulrushes, but in the twenty-third vers
Of eleventh Hebrews. The CONCORDANCE

Similar errors were discovered in til
case of Simon Peter, the use OF the wor

The law enables the unIearned read'
to revise the work Of the reyissrs an

tiles, Lachmann, Tischendorff and ii

cup, which in winter is transformed into
a solid body of ice
Shasta Valley is broad lava plain,
bountifully interspersed with volcanic
cones, around whose grassy foothin
slopes, and dotting the landscape for miles
away are the cattle of thousand hills.
STRAWBERRY VALLEY.
This is the pivotal point of interest,
from scenic standpoint, on the route
from San Francisco TO Portland. From
here are to be had the grandest views of
Mount Shasta. Here clear, ,unbroken up
lift of about IL 900 feet is to be had where
ever you turn, and. whether it be in the
Steel-gray dawn of morning. when the
sun tips the peak with gold, or in the
broad glare of the monday light, or the
warm flush of the fading twilight, here is
the point to study Shasta.
To the westward of the valley, and ris-
ing to an altitude of 5000 feet, are the
Scott Mountains, from the main peak of
which three large rivers take their rise,
VIZ: Shasta, running north to the l[lam-
ath; Scott, running west; the Trinity,
southwest and then curving to the north;
and, after starting within mile or so of
each other, these great streams, after
draining large portion of the northern
part OF the State, unite their waters in the
second largest river III California.
Tho sacramento River springs from the
western slope OF Mount Shasta, and the
McCloud from the eastern.
Away to the southwest, towering above
magnificent pine forests, are the pima
cled Castle Rocks. and there are beautiful
lakes at their feet
To the north, and not many miles away,
rises AIuir's Peak BLACK Butte), on and
around which FIVE distinct crater cups
may be seen.
The wise men say that the volcano of
Shasta was cold and dead many an age
before the fires of the Black Butte were
kindled; at any rate, it seems quite proha-
BILE that this later overflow of lava had
considerable to do in the formation of
Strawberry Valley.
THE SNOW-BANNER ON SHASTA.
What is called by the old settlers the
''Snow-Banner OF Shasta is probably
cloud and not a now-banner, caused by
strong wind sweeping up the northern
mountain side, condensing the vapors as
they ascend, carrying them over thes UNI
nit III long, white, trailing tilaments OF
mile or more in length.
The fluttering, swaying motion of this
ghOstly pennant at the masthead of
Shasta, reaching its snowy folds far out
over the ridges, and suddenly, ,witch-like,
making itself air. into which it vanishes,
IS scene of rare beauty.

Features of the Shasta Route Graphic
ally Described.
In the little book on Shasta, by Mr..
Johnstone, from which a few quotations
have already been made, are found many
interesting chapters descriptive of points
Of interest along the great scenic route
between the Sacramento Valley and
Oregon, from which n few extracts are
made that cannot fail to be of interest to
those who contemplate making the trip
through the Shasta mountains and the
grand canyon of the Sacramento River
MOssBRAE FALLS.
The romantic spot bearing this nalne is
one that we venture to say has no coun-
terpart anywhere. Cascades and springs
of living water are common enough in
mountain countries, but rivers of ice
water bursting from every hillside are
not so common. This point IS only one
of a score of like ebullitions, and is more
interesting than its neighbors on account
of its charming surroundings.
The rocky, mOSs-grown banks and
braes over which these thousand rillS fall
are clothed in 4 foliage of a rich under
growth: tall pines skirt their slopes,
whose uppermost branches break the
sunlight forming broken rainbow arches
across the SlIGdtll.
The first impression one has of this
wonderful sight is that these myriad cas-
cades have just broken out of the hill
side for the first time, as the mosses and
ferns, the wild vines and shrubs over
which they pour are as fresh and full
grown as though they had never been
disturbed.
That they come from the fountains Of
the great deeps of Shasta is plain enough,
and the suggestion of a traveller that they
may be the outlets of an enormous hid
den glacier that stretches its form down
along one of the hanks of Shasta, is a rea-
sonable one.
SHEEP ROCK.
Sheep Rock, 50 called on account of the
great number of mountain sheep once
abounding there, is an outlying spur of
