The crowned prince Of Granada, heir to
the Spanish throne, imprisoned by order
of the crown for fear he might aspire to
the th. one, was kept in solitary eontine-
ment in the old prison at the Palace Of
Skulls Madrid After SO years in this
living tomb death came to his release,
and the following remarkable researches,
taken from the Bible and marked with an
old nail on the rough walls OF his cell told
how the brain sought employment through
the weary years.
In the Bible the word Lord Is found
1858 times; the word jehovah 8,S55
times; the word reverend but once; the
eighth verse Of the 97th Psalm is the mid
die verse Of the Bible. The ninth verse
Of the eighth chapter Of Esther is the
longest the thirty-hfth verse, eleventh
chapter Of st, John is the shortest In
the 107th Psalm, four verses are alike, the
eighth, fifteenth, twenty-frst and thirty
first. Each verse Of the 136th Psalm ends
alike No names or words with more
than six syllables are found In the Bible.
The thirty-seyenth chapter Of Isaiah and
nineteeth chapter of III Kings are alike.
The word girl occurs but once 10 the
Bible, and that ia the third verse, third
chapter 81 Joel. There are found In both
books Of the Bible 8, 53s, 4s3 letters; 773,-
8I4 words 82,378 verses, ,lS4 chapters
and GO books. The 10Th chapter Of the
Acts Of the Apostles is the finest chapter
to read. The most beautiful chapter is the

are John 11:2,7-87; Matthew 9;2s, and
