THE ZULU BIBLE.
It Il Ono of Many Printed by the A..
rrican Bible Society.

rrican Bible Society.
The Zulu Bible is one Of the Interest,
ing forms of the Scripture among N.
vast number of Bibles printed in ,bs
Bible House in New York, by tho
American Bible Society The stat;st,c.
Of the society are interesting and spr
prising to any one unfamiliar with
them. The society's twenty-cent Bih,s
and five-cent Testament are probably
the cheapest books in the world The
Testament for five cents is marvellous
1t is a small book, but the type is clea,
and plain, and the cover, a soft one O,
cloth, is neat and attractive. The fs.
ures on the inside of the 1896 edition
show that II, 442 900 copies of the book
have been printed. The Bible is in
the 1895 edition, and the figures show
that at the time of it's issue 1900 600
had been printed. That number has
now been largely increased. 1t has
been estimated that in busy times an
average of one Bible and three or four
Testaments are turned out every min
ute by the plant in the house for every
day in the year. About two thirds Of ali
the Bibles printed are given away, ami
the others are sold at cost Last year
the society issued 1.750,2S3 Bibles and
Testaments. The English editions
and editions in the common European
languages are all printed at the Bible
House. Some of the languages OF the
extreme east, like the Chinese, can be
printed more cheaply by native work
men in the country to which they be-
long. The Canton Bible. which is in
the cOlloQuial tongues spoken by most
Of the Chinese in this vicinity, is print
ed at the Bible House. In the past
eighty years of it's existence the So
cieJy has issued 61.705,S41 volumes o!
the Holy Scriptures, in nearly 100 la
guages and dialects. In the first TWEEN
ty-fve years of its existence it printed
nearly 100000 books. in the second
nearly 100000 and the total ISSUE Of
the third twenty-five years was 81, 49,
1876. An old gentleman interested in
the work has estimated that there have
been Bibles enough printed to supply
every person in the word with one.

Lighthouse Illu mlnatiOn

Notwithstanding the great brilliancy
OF the electric light, 1t is a well-known
fact that it's penetrating power, espe-
cially in thick and foggy weather, is
not equal to gas, and for this reason
in many cases 1t has not been adopted
in lighthouses. A new departure is
now proposed in the application Of the
incandescent gaslight to lighthouse il
Elimination. which offers many advan-
tages over ordinary gas or oil. espe-
cially in it's vastly superior candle pow
er, and 1t is anticipated that it will
compare favorably with the electric
light, both as to economy and EN-
cheney.

''FORM.''
Bicycle Riders Subject to Var ETY. OF
This

This
There is considerable talk on the
track and in the training quarters
about form. This man or that is said
to be "top-notch," off" or coming
into FORM etc, with a variety OF
terms to suit every possible physical
condition of an athlete. The condi-
tioning of a racing man is delicate
job, requiring conscientious training,
both in the matter of riding and hab-
it's. Under the latter head come diet
and hours. When a rider who is ad-
mittedly one OF the fastest in the world
fails to make a showing in open events,
there is something wrong with his
form-it is due to bad training, or a
misunderstanding of the practices Of
the track. In a case under our notice
a rider of the first class, and one of the
best, too, loses race after race, when
by every method of reasoning, he
should either win or ride the winner
to inches. A rider of such known abl-
ity as the man under notice owes it to
the public and to the sport to take
every possible precaution to win. Flo
should not keep late hours, and he
should so conduct himself that he has
a fair and equal chance with every
other rider whom he meets. If two
riders are equally good men, equally
fast, and possessed of that nerve ana
heart so necessary to land them over
the tape in the lead of competitors, tha
meeting of these men should mark
struggle from the crack of the plstoi
| to the finish, and the winner should %
| only inches to the good. The rider we
| have in mind, however, rode thlrds
and fourths, and there is no way to ac-
| count for it save by the flimsy excuse
or rather reason, that he leaned 70

adherence of the primary principles Oh

THE SACRED" SUPREME COURT

The charge OF the democrats that Grant
packed the supreme court OF the United
States In 1870 to secure reversal of the
anti-greenback decision in the latter part
of 1869. was denied the other day by SEN
ator Hoar OF Massachusetts. who declared
that 'the nominations of the two judges, q"
increasing the court. were in the senate
and had been sent in before the anti-legal
tender decision was made"
The aged senator's statements have been
disproved in a communication to the Bos-
ton Herald by Mr.. Forest c. Manchester
