Last year the American Bible So
 ciety distributed 1,sOO,0O0 copies of Bibles, Testaments and Scripture DOT tions. The British Bible Society also is very active in distributing the Scrip lures, and the two organizations send the Good Book" to every part of the world. The Bible has been translated into about one hundred different Ian. guages, and the American and British societies thus provide for all races. Ii is stated that Mrs. Russell Sage has offered to contribute S5OO,0OO toward the permanent endowment fund of the American society. When 1t is consid- cred that millions of copies of the Bible, or parts of It, are printed yearly for distribution from one end of the world to the other, 1t seems to be clear that religion is not losing ground. Ii is said that ratlonalism is spreading fin continental Europe, and even In the United States there are those who profess to see a decline in religious faith. Yet the Bible Is printed and circulated as never before. The ''best sellers" in fiction are thought to achieve marvellous success If the sales reach few hundred thousands. The

A Reading railroad train ran into a team driven by an eleven-year-old boy the other day, wrecked the wagon and threw the boy into the air. A brakeman who happened to be stand. ing on the locomotive steps at the time caught the boy by the arm as he came down and saved his life. If the brake man was a baseball-player in his youth, the incident affords another illustra- tion of the value of athletic sports.

The best protection for any city is found not in the number of Its police men but in the number of lights on its streets.

Both Nevada Consolidated and

UTAH COPPER MAKES
BETTER SHOWING THAN
LATELY ANTICIPATED

As predicted in these columns the
latter part of last week. says the Salt
Lake Tribune, the figures coming
from Boston in regard 10 the April
output of the Utah Copper Co. fall
below The actual production. Gem
eral Manager d. c. Jackling stated to
the Tribune Tuesday that during
April this organization made total
of 3.323.000 pounds of copper, and
while he did not desire TO state the
cost of production it is safe to say
that the cost per pound fell below
s y cents.
This is the largest production of
copper for any month since the Utah
Copper Co. began to pound out re-
suits at the Garfield concentrating
plant, and a greater tonnage at the
mine was handled during the same
month than during any similar period
of activity. But unless some unfor-
seen calamity befalls the equipment
during the current month. May will
eclipse April as positively as April
holds the record over preceding
months. The Garfield plant now has
ten sections in going shape, and this
