Ring Down the Curtain.

From Life.
Considering the money 1t costs and the
actors employed, the biggest burlesque
ever organized in this country is the Office
of the government architect.
OF course, We have all known In gen.
eral way that buildings erected by the
United States government are not only
notifying caricatures on architecture, but
that their cost is always beyond the dreams
of common sense.
Mr.. Carrere. who was recently offered the
position of supervising architect, declined
it, as under existing conditions no one man
could bring order out of the present chaos.
He remarks incidentally:
THE present condition Of this work is In
such a disorganized state that it would
take the best part CT any mans time to re-
organize the work itself. irrespective of the
department The accumulated waste of
money is beyond belief
1t is also interesting to learn that the
number of buildings now in course OF con-
struction is 115 many of them to cost from
five hundred thousand to two million dol
lars.
And let the taxpayer amuse himself by
trying to grasp the position of an architect
whose numberless employees hold their pc.
sitions by an influence beyond his own con-
troll.
In other words, II the architect does not
like his draUghtsman'S work he can lump
it,"

Bible Translated Into Chinese.

From the Boston Herald.
The article on Bishop Schereschewsky
brings out the fact that one of the foremost
CT living Chinese scholars has produced
almost within a stones throw of Harvard
University, in the last few years, work
which is likely to have a more profound
influence upon the civilization of China
than anything that has yet been, done in
the form of Christian missions. The hero
ism Of this disabled scholar in working
with untiring patience for seven long years
upon his great task, and In allowing moth
ing to interrupt him, makes a strong appeal
to those who know what this translation of
the Bible into the classical language of
Chira means. When completed, the Scrip
lures will be within reach of the best
minds in China, and in spite of the nat
ural conservatism of these people, II will
to them stand on the same plane with their
sacred books. 1t will place the entire mis-
sior airy work in that country on d different
basis. The comparison of his achievement
with that of Parkman is significant in
point of determination and energy. Both
of these men conSecrated every bit of their
strength to the main work that they had
laid out for. themselves, and they put into
it whatever gifts they had left. 1t is to be
hoped that no obstacle may interfere with
the bishops final rendering of his transla-
ton into the Chinese characters and that
he will not be allowed to return to China
without some worthy testimonial in recog-
milton of what he has been permitted to do.
