posed of eminent pathological experts
meet every month. In one year such
a committee will have matters before
it in 200 different languages! In fact
the diversity of the worlds speech is
a staggering thing when n goes into

in 20 different tongues in the Austrian
Empire, and 80 in Russia!
Our hundreds of thousands of poly.
glot immigrants are met on the very
threshold of the Land of Liberty and
a Bible is put into their hands in their
OWE tongue, whether it be Greek or
Magyar, Polish or Japanese, Gaelic or
Croat, Arabic or Chinese. There are
scores of languages into which the BIZ
BILE has been done that you never
heard of. Aside from the translations
into Cherokee and Choctaw, one runs
ones eye in bewilderment down the
list, taking in such dialects as Ruk
and Ponape, Dikele John, Samogit, Wis.
ayam, Llocano, Bicol, Pangasinan, Ia.

In a great number of cases an en-.
tire literature has to be formed and
a language reduced to writing before
anything car be done at all. And
there are difficulties which you or !
would never suspect. Thus when
translating the New Testament into
Eskimo the phrase Lamb of God
had to be rendered Little Dog" 9th
erwise it would have been entirely
meaningless to the little fur-clad mer
who have never seen a sheep!
And of course there Is no thought
Of profit. Our Bible society sells a well
made Gospel in his W tongue to a
Congo cannibal for the equivalent Of
2 cents; a New Testament for S, and a
complete Bible for Is cents. All kinds
of money" are taken in exchange
ranging from ivory tusks to a basket
of bread-fruit, a few leopard skins, OF
even a baby camel.

6 inches above the natural level Of

6 or 8 inches below the surface. The
stills are 2x4 and should be placed on
the wall before the cement floor Is
laid. The cement can then be flushed
against the stills to prevent air and wa
ter entering.
The walls on all sides except the
south are made of one thickness Of
matched lumber with planed side in
side. The outside, except the south
side, is covered with one thickness Of
roofing paper. The only part Of the
house that Is double boarded is the
portion directly back of and above the
roost platform. This forms an air
space which is opened above and be-
low by holes bored through the plate,
which permits the air to circulate
freely and keeps the inner wall warm.
er than 1t would be with a dead air
space.
The frame is made wholly Of 2x4's
placed 4 feet apart, except the ~rafters,
which are 3x5 placed 2 feet between
centers. The boards are laid hori-
zontally. The most economical and
effective method Of ventilating the
house is by window openings in the
south side, which during the larger
part of the time, both summer and
winter, r covered simply by wire
netting and during stormy or Excess
sively cold weather by a cloth window.
If the house is tight on all other sides
this allows for a quiet diffusion Of air
with the least possible draft.
The cloth frame Is hung at the top
and covers an opening 6 feet 4 inches
by 8 feet 4 inches. The window in
each pen is 2 feet 4 inches by 4 feet
eight inches, and the window below it
is 2 feet 4 inches. Above the windows
a ventilator Is hung at the top and
swings outward, which can be opened
in summer to permit the warm air
which accumulates at the highest
point tn pass out freely.
The platform 2h feet wide is placed
beneath the roosts which are IL inches
apart on ,centers and the back one
placed IL inches from the wall. The
nests are placed on a shelf below the
platform. In front of the platform a
cloth covered frame is hung from the
top, which is let down at night in cold
weather. This makes a roosting closet
which will keep the fowls wa5n even
In the coolest weather.
