WORDS OF THE BIBLE COUNTED
Spanish Prisoner Confined for Thirty
Three Years Performed the
Remarkable Task.

1t is well known that the number
OF letters, words, verses, ETC., con.
tanned in the Bible have been count.
ed, but by whom, when, or where,
Is not generally known. Treats pub.
LEGATION, entitled "Curiosities of the
Bible" speaks of the occurrence as
being of Spanish origin, and that the
prince of Granada, fearing usurpa-
ton, caused the arrest of the sup.
posed would-he usurper, and by or.
der of the Spanish crown he was
thrown into an old prison called the
place of skulls, situated in Madrid,
where he was confined for 33 years,
with no other companion than the
rats, mice and other vermin that
frequented his dismal cell, says the
Boston Herald.
During his confinement he counted
the letters, ETC., contained in the Ri.
BILE, and scratched the several mum.
bers on the stone walls with a nail.
When his work was discovered he
was furnished with writing utensils
and ordered to make a copy of the
results of his long and tedious task,
and, on its being completed, he final.
ly received his liberty.
The following is a correct copy OF
his great work:
The Bible contains 3,566,4S0 letters,
773,746 words, 31,173 verses, 1876
chapters and &C books.
The word and occurs 10, 6S4 times.
the word Lord 1858 times, the word
Jehovah 6,S55 times, and the word
reverend but once, which is in the
ninth verse of the One Hundred and
Eleventh psalm.
The middle verse is the eight verse
of the One Hundred and Eighteenth
psalm. The t~wenty-first verse of the
seventh chapter of Ezra contains all
the letters of the alphabet except
the letter j.
twenty-sixth chapter of the Acts of
the Apostles. The most beautiful
chapter is the Twenty-Third psalm.
The nineteenth chapter of II. Kings
and the thirty-seventh chapter of
Isaiah are alike.
The four most inspiring promises
are to be found in the sixth chapter
Of st. John, thirty-seventh verse, and
fourteenth chapter, second verse;
also eleventh chapter of St. Matthew,
twenty-eighth verse, and the Thirty"
Seventh psalm, fourth verse.
The longest verse is the ninth verse.
eighth chapter of Esther. The short.
est verse is the thirty-ffth verse, elev-
enth chapter of St. John.
There are ten chapters in the book
of Esther in which the words Lord and
God do not occur. The eighth, ff-
tenth, twenty-frst and thirty-frst
verses of the One Hundred and Seventh
psalm are alike. Each verse of the One
Hundred and Thirty-sixth psalm end
alike. The One Hundred and Seven
teenth plasm contains but two verses.
the One Hundred and Nineteenth psalm
contains 176 verses. There are no
words OF names of more than six sylla-
bles.
It has also been discovered by some
person unknown that in Joel, third
chapter, third verse, the word girl oc-
ours, and in the eighth chapter of Zach
ariah, fifth verse, the word girls is
mentioned for the only time in the
whole Book.
The eighth chapter of Esther, ninth
verse, contains 50 is. The word snow
appears "a times in the Old Testament
and three times in the New.

The State OF Idaho is in urgen
need OF new fish law, giving pro
lection to those engaged in the fisl
hatchery business. Nature ha
richly endowed this state will
lakes, ponds, rivers and streams
and it is peculiarly adapted to tn.
propagation Of fish for the marke,
as legitimate business. Indeed
the cultivation of Gsh for com,
merce, promises to become one O,
the leading industries of Idaho.
But before any Roadway can be
made in the development of the
business law must be enacted b,
the Legislature, prohibiting the
catching and sellingof fish by un.
licensed persons or corporations.
Under existing conditions in Idaho
fish hatcheries are without any pro
lection whatever. The proprietors
are injured by individuals who are
permitted to take fish whenever
they choose and sell them at low
prices.
In February, 1901, law was
passed by the Washington legis-
lature which provides, that any RI
parian proprietor can establish q
private fish hatchery for the cult
walton of food fishes within the
limits OF his own premises, inclos
I'd in the waters of any lake, river
or stream. under certain conditions
including the paying Of $25 license
and placing his mark or brand on
all fish sold by him; that all per-
sons dealing in these fish must paw
a license of 81. so; that anyone
found guilty of taking fish from
such enclosed hatcheries shall be
imprisoned not less than 6 months
or fined not less than $500; and,
that all money collected for license
or fines be turned into the state
treasury and placed in the FISH and
game production fund. This law
has proven a success, and of I'M.
mense value to the development OF
the tlsh industry in Washington.
Such a law is needed here, and
everyone interested in the fullest
development Of all the resources OF
Idaho should consider the benefits
70 be derived from piac;np the
mater before the Legislature which
conyenes in Boise, next Monday.
