"Are Pittsburgh business men often
detected in the practice of kiting

number of leading bankers the other

legations made in q recent sensational

Biblical scholars in Europe have been
excited by news Of a discovery recently
made in Asia Minor of beautiful copy
Of the gospels, dating back to the sixth
century. This ancient document has
taken its place in the very limited cate
CORY of original Bible manuscripts now
| in existence.
But in one respect it 10 far more
precious than any other. 1t is not only
complete in every page and line. but
IL is fresh and legible now as If 1t were
almost new, and it is an example Of
rich establishment not surpassed by
any other similar document on earth.
This newly discovered copy of the
gospels is marvel of exquisite work.
manship. and the antiquarians who
have examined it assert that its manu-
facture must have occupied at least a
quarter of a century in painstaking
labor. Its pages are made of the thin
nest of vellun.
1t is a quarto volume, and there are
two columns on each written page.
The pages are dyed an exquisite royal
purple, which is delicate but brilliant
1t is in the writing, however. that
this precious volume is unique. The
letters are written in gold and silver.
Every one of the proper names. in
cluding those of saints and holy places
is written altogether in gold. The alb
breviations, of which there are many in
the book, are likewise written in gold
The rest of the text is altogether oi
silver. The precious metals used in
this lettering are as bright and untar
nished to-day as when the original writ
| ing was done few hundred years after
the death of the Saviour, by some devout
monk who was an artist in his line.
This volume was evidently made t.
withstand the effects of time, by one
who we'll knew the best materials tc
| use. The vellum of which the leave,
are made was carefully chosen sheet b.
sheet.
The binding was done with the
strongest of thongs. The covers art
heavy and solid, the whole was well cal
culated to keep out dampness and tr
resist the attacks of moths, bookwOrms
or other insects.
The author, working on his labor OF
love in some lonely monastery. and
spending perhaps lifetime in the pro
luction of this exquisite manuscript. SO
well performed his task that his writ
| ings have come down to this nineteenth
century clearer, more legible and bet
ter preserved than any document in ex
istcnce written within GEO years of the
same time. Hidden away in the musty
recesses of an ancient convent, it has
now turned up to excite the wonder OF
antiquarians and pique the curiosity OF
Biblical scholars.
The old book is still in Asia Minor
and the news of its discovery in this
splendid condition only reached Con-
stantinople a few weeks ago. 1t was
stated at the same time that the
precious manuscript had been secured
by the Russian government.
1t will, it is expected. be placed In the
