A recent German invention is arnor- ed glass, or glass plates cast with wire gauge enclosed in their substance, SO as to increase the resistance to pressure. shock and the effects of heat. Tests of the new material have been made at the Chemnitz. Technical Institute and the Vienna Technological Museum which show that the armored glass is much stronger, and where the ordinary glass broke under sudden applications of pressure, the strengthened material only cracked, and the cracks caused by changes of temperature did not allow either danny or flame to pass The new glass has already been employed for water-gauges.

A Hungarian philologist,s Dr. Anton velics, thinks he has discovered the original language of man. He has found that the great groups of lan- guages, Indo-Germanic, Semitic, Ha- mitic and Altaic, are all based on be- tween two hundred and three hundred ancient Chinese roots, some of which have disappeared from the Chinese lan- guage and are now found only in Japa- nese. He had published his theory in Hungarian, but is going to translate it into German, so that other philoIogists' may be able to criticise it.

 William H.

j. may be of interest to know the
sources of the bible as it appears 20
day. In the first place, the making OF
the bible did not begin in its modern
aspect until the middle OF the fourth
century after Christ. The bible is
based upon four great manuscripts.
One of them the Codex Alexandrinus,
now in the British museum; the Codex
Vaticanus, now in the Vatican, and the
Codex Sinaiticus and the Codex Eph-
raemi. Each of these is OF immense
antiquity.
The Codex Alexandrinus in the Brit
ish museum is at least 300 years old,
and it is the most priceless object in
the vast collection Of that famous in
stitution. This document consists Of
773 sheets Of dull gray goatskin, the
skin being exceptionally thin and each
sheet measuring 12A inches by 10&
inches. 1t is written on both sides 81
the sheet in two columns Of faint but
clear Greek characters. It once be-
longed to the patriarchal chamber OF
Alexandria, and was sent as a present
TO King Charles l. in 1927.
From manuscripts such as thesa +;
from the Latin version of the fourth
century from manuscript translations
of the bible into Coptic Syriac and

HEATING STREET CARS.

1t is not generally known that the
electric heating of street cars, besides
being odorless and cleaner and more
easy to control than stove heating
is now found to be much cheaper than
the older system. 1t is not long since
a very different showing was made in
a test made to decide on the merits OF
an electrical heater for the warming Of
cars. Careful tests showed that each
heater consumed two electrical horse
power, and as it required four heaters
or eight electrical horse power to warm
properly each car. the company eXper-
imenting was advised that in the state
Of the art at that day electric heating
would be uneconomical Now, the
same railway has grown extensively
concentrating its power plant in large
central stations, improving its meth
DDS of steam generation and expansion,
and constructing its generators and
heaters more scientifically, and the SIT
uation has been so far modified that
the company is today not only heating
it's cars exclusively by electricity, out
doing ii for less cost than would De
possible by coal stove heating. In this
particular case an examination OF tne
books of the service showed that
while the cost per electrical horse pow
er had greatly decreased, the economy
resulted chiefly from conditions pecu-
