FACTS ABOUT THE BIBLE.
Millions of Copies of the Scriptures
Printed Every Year.

From the ST. Louis Republic.
The success of widely read novel
invariably sets people talking about
enormous sales, and paragraphs find
their way into print recording the fact
that so many thousands of copies nave
heen sold. And we talk about it as If
1t were a nine days wonder totally
unmindful Of a book which has run
through countless editions, and of
which nearly 100000 copies were
printed in New York last year. That
book is the Bible.
Of course, everybody knows that
more copies of the Bible have been
printed and sold than Of any other
book, but few persons realize, or stop
to think about it if they do, Just to
what extent the Bible is circulated.
What becomes of all the pins" is a
question that has never been satisfac-
torily solved. What becomes of all the
Bibles is a problem more difficult of
solution. "A pin assumes infinitesimal
proportions compared with a bound
book, and when one considers that the
increased publication of Bibles is ou.
of all proportion to the natural in
crease in population, one cannot help
wondering what becomes of all Of them.
1t stands to reason that a great
many COPIES find their way into the
hands of foreign missionary societies
and are sent to the heather of other
lands. Possibly the proportion is one
half. But even then the balance for
home consumption, if so purely mer-
camille a phrase may be permissible, Is
very considerable. One New York pub
fishing house alone, the American
Bible Society, issued during the last
year 1.3S0,S92 copies, of which trifie
more than one-half We're sent abroad.
And one year is very much like another
in this respect. Times may be good or
times may be bad, but the printing of
the Scriptures goes on.
Now, what becomes of them all? One
seldom discards a Bible, no matter how
old or worn. The ordinary book ex-
cept to the bibliophile, Is regarded as
an article of commerce-something to
buy and sell, something to read and
enjoy, and then. if necessity demands.
pass along that some one else may en-
joy it's benefits. If this were not so
there would be no secondhand book
dealers.
Not so with the bible. You may hunt
the town over, YOU may delve among
dust-covered tones in out-of- the e-way
book stores until your head grows
dizzy, and 1 doubt if you will find a
dozen secondhand Bibles in all New
York. l asked the proprietor of one
of these old book shops if he could ex-
plain why it was. He shrugged his

THE TUGELA RIVER.
Picturesque and Magnificent Sur
roundings of Its Course.

The Modder and Tugela rivers are at
the present moment, perhaps, the most
conspicuous streams in South Africa
The Tugela, or Startling" river, Is
the longest river in Natal, being over
200 miles long, attaining a breadth at
its mouth of 450 feet. For the last six
ty miles or so of it's course it forms
the boundary line between Natal and
Zululand. the latter being now a pro-
vince of Natal.
1t rises on the Free States side OF
Mont of Sources, in the Drakensberg
mountains. the extreme western point
in Natal, and at once leaps down into

or two lodges, of 1900 feet--the highest

Kip Diver county from Weenen coun-
ty Its first tributary of any impor-
tance before reaching Colenso Is the
Little Tugela, flowing in from the
south. At Colenso it is crossed by the
Bulwer road bridge and substantial
railway bridge, consisting of four
| stone piers and five iron spans.
Whether the latter still remains entire
is very doubtful. Some distance below
Colenso the now famous Kip river,

Startling" river, the Sundays river
comes tearing in from its distant
sources in the Biggarsberg, past Eland-
| slaagte. This latter river receives the
| Inkunz and Waschbank streams,
which traverse the southern district of
Natal's coal fields.
Just before the Tugela reaches the
Zulu border the Mooi (gooO river runs

the Tugela receives its largest tributary,
the Buffalo or Umzinyati river, which,
| from it's source near Charlestown,
flows southeast. forming Natars east

| the Transvaal and Zululand.
Near Dundee are Landsman's and
