BIBLE AS BoOKMAKER.
Volumes of Literature That Have
Been Inspired by II.

Volumes of Literature That Have
Been Inspired by II.
OF making many books about books
there Is no end. Almost as soon as
anywhere there has appeared a litera-
ture on any subject the commentators
have appeared to connote or amend
the work Of their predecessors A Plato
has his critical Aristotle, who builds
upon yet revises his philosophy; a
Shakespeare is followed by an innum-
cradle train Of Baconian or Non-Ba-
CONAN critics; Emmanuel Kant's great
thoughts have proved germinal Of end
less Post-Kantian PHILOSOPHERS. So 1t
goes. Books make books, Libraries add
to libraries, literatures develop liter
atures. Even when books are burned
they are not wholly lost. An Alexan-
drian library may go up In flames, but
today there are thousands Of libraries
greater in size and value than the
scorched or scattered tones Of the ia
nous Egyptian book house.
The greatest bookmaker is the Bible.
No book has made for one thing (and
It is, after all, the least thing) SO many
other books as has that great volume
Of inspired revelation. The Bible Is
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 IT.
self, and the best literatures Of the
world today are those which have, d.
rectly or indirectly. been inspired by,
or which quite. quote in large, appre-
ciative measure from the Bible.
But while there is no volume In the
world which can begin to compare
with the Scriptures, both as regards
the quantity and the quality Of the lit
eratures which the book Of books has
inspired, in q lesser degree few no
table productions of the centuries have
also proved to be bookmakers on a
large scale. Augustine's writings have
made much Of modern thought and ex-
preston Augustinian; Calvin has CAL
vinized much Of the teachings Of all
the time since Calvin; Shakespeare
has set many a brain to thinking on
the problems of life and probably also
many a tongue wagging; Milton has
inspired the muse Of many lesser
poet since. Every language has Its
creative classics. which have given
tone and temper to a long series OF
writings succeeding them. A great
book Is like banyan tree, sending out
on every side It's lesser shoots. Its re-
duplicating stems. The larger part of
the books current In any one period
are second class. third-class or fourth
rate books. which are the progeny OF
the really great works Of the ages. 1t
il we'll that 1t Is so, for the average
reader. with only limited amount of
brain development. is capable Of un-
derstanding only the dilution or simple
restatement Of the profounder, basic
works of the master minds in philos-
ophy, science or literature. The pabu-
lum furnished by the real classics of
literature is too condensed for the d.
gestive apparatus Of the common
reader. The capsule does not suit the
ordinary man, who must have litera-
ry provender in the form of thin bouil-
lon.-New York Observer.

NEW SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
It Is Thought that Thermit Is the Ex.
act Opposite of Liquid Air.

DR.. Hans Goldschmidt of Essen, has
invented thermit. 1t Is the exact op-
posite of liquid air, and Is composed
Of oxygen in the form Of oxides and
aluminium. Combined and ignited,
these substances produce tempera-
ture equal to that Of the arc light, and
of the highest value for the welding
Of large pieces Of iron and steel. es-
pecially in the repair Of broken parts
Of huge machines, which 1t Is not de-
sired to take apart and send to a great
forge. Thus, it will be Of inestimable
value for the welding Of ships parts,
fractured sections Of ordnance and for
work on bridges and railways.
1t already has been proved to be OF
the greatest commercial Importance,
having been employed for the purposes
indicated in nearly all of the princi-
pal cities Of Europe, for, unlike liquid
air, its uses are not confined to the
wholly spectacular side Of science.
Thermit compound is a grayish black
powder much like coarse gunpowder
in appearance. When 1t is desired to
secure pure iron, either for welding
or for the arts, this powder Is placed
in a crucible Of magnesia, or other
substance that will resist the maxi
mum of heat, with a quantity Of iron
rust, and then ignited by a pinch Of
peroxide of barium and fuse.
The result Is immediate. The oxy-
gen Of the iron rust combines with the
aluminium. producing aluminium, while
the iron contained in the oxide Of iron
sinks to the bottom below the alumni
mum Stag.
This action takes less than one min
ute. An enormous heat Is developed
with safety. for the crucible may be
moved about with the hands. The
chemical reaction provides a rapid ev-
olution of heat, which when started
from a given point, raises the next
nearest portions Of the mixture to a
temperature sufficiently high to cause
another reaction, and this mode of
heat propagation continues until the
entire contents Of the crucible are ig-
nited.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

DROPPED THE SUBJEcT.-"Five thou
sands dollars for dog!" he exclaim-
ed as he looked up from his newspa-
per-. do you believe any one ever paid
any such price, Maria?"
I'm sure don't know James," she
returned without stopping her needle
work even for moment. Does the
paper say that much was paid?"
"Yes. There's an article on valuable
dogs, and 1t speaks Of one that was
sold for $4,000. I don't believe It,"
1T may be true, James," she said
quietly. Some of these we'll bred ami
mails bring fancy prices, and there's no
particular reason why the paper should
lie about It,"
II know that, Maria But just think
Of 1t! Just Try to grasp the magnitude
Of that sum in your weak, feminine
mind. You don't seem to realize it.
Five thousand dollars for a dog! Why.
hang It, Marie, that's more than I'm
worth"
II know 1t, James, but some are
worth more than others"
She went calmly on with her sewing,
while he fumed and spluttered for a
moment and then dropped the subject,
especially the weak, feminine mind
part Of it.-Exchange.
