Nc book has I"ade for one thing (and 1t
Is, after all, the least thing so many
other books as has that great volume CT
inspired revelation. The bible is a most
prolific producer of literatures. It has
made them by the wholesale and is doing
so still. But what is far more significant
for thought and life, there is no book
that makes such good books as the bible.
There is no such reading anywhere as in
the bible itself, and the best l~iteratures
of the world today are those which have,
directly or indirectly, been inspired by,
or which quote in large, appceclative
measure from. the bible.
But while there is no volume in the
world which can begin to compar with
the scriptures, both as regards the guam
tity and the quality of the li%teratures
which the book of books has inspired. in
a lesser degree a few notable produc-
tons of the centuries ave also proved to
be bookmakers on a large scale. Au-
gustine's writings ave made much Of
modern thought and expression Augustin-
ian; Calvin has Calvinized muc of the
teachings OF all the time since Calvin:
Shakespeare has set many q brain to
thinking on the problems of life and
probably also many q tongue wagging;
Milton has inspired the muse of many a

creative classics, which have given tone
and temper to a long series Of writings
succeeding them. A great book is like a
banyan tree. sending out on every side
its lesser shoots, its reduplicating stems.
The larger par of the books current in

Sheep Have Shown Their Endurance in
Seasons Of Drouth.
New York Post: Other creatures thar
the camel are able to get along for ex-
tended periods without drinking. Sheep
in the southwestern deserts go for forty
to sixty days in winter without drink,
grazing on the green, succulent vegeta-
ton of that season. Peccaries in the des-
ert of Sonora live in little dry hills.
where there is no natural water for long
periods. They cannot possibly find water,
ln fact. for months at a time. The only
moisture they can obtain comes from
roots n the fruits Of cacti.
But the most extraordinary case is that
OF the pocket mouse, one Of the common
rodents Of the desert. This little creature.
by the way, has q genuine fur-lined
pocket" on the outside of Its cheek.
When 1t is hungry 1t takes food from this
pocket with Its paw. just as a man would
pull a ham sandwich from his pocket.
One OF these mice has been kept for
three years with no other food than the
mixed birdseed Of commerce. During this
period 1t had not a taste OF either water
lr green food. Other experimenters have
found. in fact, that these mice in captiv-
lty refuse such treats, not seeming to
know that water is good to drink. The
birdseed put before this mouse contain
not more than 10 per cent Of moisture.
which Is less than Is necessary for diees-
ton. Stuff SO dry as this cannot even
be swallowed until it is moistened by
saliva. Yet this remarkable mouse gave
nothing but his time to the interests Of
science: He suffered nothing In health
pr spirits during his captivity. The TAB
lolutely abstemious ass" Of which Edward
Lear wrote is completely outclassed.
The question is seriously raised whether
this mouse Is provided with u condensinR
apparatus by which 1t Is able to ahsorR
moisture from the atmosphere. At night
and in the burrows the humidity is much
higher than in the daytime above round
but 1t never reaches the dew point.
