SEVEN IN THE BIBLE.
How Multiples of the Figure RecuR
In the New Testament.

In the New Testament.
The phenomena of the figure seven
and It's multiples occurring in the New
Testament have been touched upon by
Ivan Panin. a Russian student OF the
Bible. who for a number of years has
made his home ut Grafton. Mass. This
significance OF the seven" group will
not be lost even upon the superstitioua
who are outside the pale Of Scriptural
points. and. Ms Mr.. Panin has shown
them. their relations of their groupings
TO the first eleven verses Of the New
Testament must suggest that they
were scarcely chance.
For instance. In these first eleven
verses of Matthew the vocabulary con-
slsts of forty nine words. or seven sew
ems: of these words there are twenty
eiglA. or four scvens. which begin with
vowcls. and twenty one. or three Sc:
ems. which begin with consonants.
This distribution by sevens between
vowel words and consonant words JUST
~ might have been deemed accidental
but for the fact that Of the forty -nine
words forty-two of them are nouns
six sevens and seven are not nouns. "
is the comment of the writer. ''Of the
forty-two nouns there are thirty -fiy c
proper nouns. or five sevcns. while
seven are common nouns. OF the thir.
ty-five proper names four sevens are
male ancestors of Jesus and seven are
not such. Not only then is the distrib,I-
ton of the forty-nine words of the vo-
cabulary of sevens rs between vowel
words ana consonant words. but also
as between the parts Of speech"
As further and absolute proof that
these phenomena of the severs are not
accidental Mr.. Panin points out that
the forty nine words of the vocabulary
show fourteen words that are used bat
once while thirty-five Of them. or fire
sevens. are used more than once. His
conclusions. after an exhaustive ar
rangement of the "seven'' features. are
that mot even the choice of the Ian
guages i'm which the Scriptures were
written was made without marked
numerical design ut the threshold Of
the subject" Tribune.

TOBACCO BLINDNESS.
The Chief Trouble la This Disease
Lies In the Stomach.

A British ocliiiSt has called attention
to a new ana indire method of treat
ing tobacco blindness. and notes the
extraordinary fact that the chief
trouble in this disease is traccIbic 10

sometimes total blindness. Tobacco

ion which comes from the excessive
use of alcoholic beverages is remark
able because of the absence of any
change i'm the structure of the eye
itself.
Microscopic examination in these
cases has disclosed peculiar alterations
in the ganglion cells of the r.tina. and
the changes were formerly believed to
have been produced by the poison OF
the tobacco itself. Three years ago u
Philadelphia physician published the
opinion that the alteration in the cells.
followed by failing vision. was not
produced by the nicotine itself. but by
poisons which the nicotine created in
the system. These secondary poisons.

or by loss of vision altogether
With this original suggestion for a
starting point. other investigators took
up the investigation. with the result
that the seat of the trouble has been
located This is found To lie in the
stomach. Nicotine disturbs the nor
mai function of the stomach and in
stead of Il healthy digestion the smok-
er has Il veritahlc poison factory in his
gastric region. Instead OF treating the
