Two pages of the oldest printed Latin Bible have been discovered in the library at Linz, the capital of Upper Austria. The pages served as cover for a book printed in 1922 at Bale. They belong to a Bible printed at Mainz in 1462 by Gutenberg's former assistant, Fust, with the help of Schoffer Very few copies of the Bible exist. The Sunderland copy sold in 1851 fetched f6,8O0. The pages found at Linz are printed on parchment.

SOME POINTS ON
INDOOR PLANTING

TN March. either in the hotbed or in
boxes by the sunny window seed of
the following flowers should receive
their start in order that good-sized plants
may be ready when all danger of frost
has gone, and the beds may be made out

gOnia. marguerite cockscomh. leliotrope,
annual hollyhock. lobelia. pansy. petlnla,
saliva, verbena. stock. and wallfiower
side by May l to 10.
For the vegetable garden early peas
may be planted outside i'm this month
and will produce u crop by June To. In
the hotbed or indoor box the following
vegetable seed should be planted: Globe
artichoke, early cabbage. early cauli-
flower. celery, eggplant. kohlrabi, lettuce
parsley. pepper and tomato.
An inexpensive hotbed which will prove
a most profitable investment for the
amateur who has a little space outside at
his disposal may be made in this manner:
Make an excavation the desired length
and breadth eighteen inches deep Choose
a place where there will be no seepage
Fill enc foot with fine brush. Press this
down we'll and pack tightly on top four
inches of cow manure. Cover this with
rich, sandy soil. Glass sash or boards
may be used to keep out the frost. Keep
the bed moist with warm water for few
days until 1t begins to heat, and plant
your seed when the temperature has set
tied at about 30 degrees.

PREPARE H0TBEDs

TT seeds for the flower and vegetable
l gardens are not already in the hotbed
or in boxes or pots placed near sunny
window, then the amateur gardener who
wants 10 keep abreast of his neighbors
when warm weather comes would better
prepare his hotbed or boxes at once.
The simpler method Of raising plants to
be set out after all danger of frost is
over is to SOW seed in boxes or pots to
be kept indoors. The boxes should have
holes for drainage in the bottom. but
should not be SO open as to let the soil
dry. Ordinary garden soil may be used
in the bottom. but on top there should
be a lighter soil. Small seed should be
sown on the surface: then fine soil spread
over them and pressed down, but not SO
hard as to cause the soil to bake. Coarse
seed can hest be planted in little drills.
or each seed pressed down into the soil
and the whole covered with thin layer
Of earth. The soil should be gently
sprinkled with water Immediately after
the planting Only the quantity of wa
ter which the soil will readily absorb
without becoming soggy should be given.
The box should be watered subsequently
whenever the soil becomes dry little be-
low the surface.
Set the box in the sunlight by the WIN
dow, but shield 1t from the direct rays of
the sun. Keep the soil we'll stirred to
prevent 1t baking.

sacred work should he done under the
direction of the Secretary of War. who
was authorized to appoint commissioner
for the purpose. The original act pro-
vided that the work should be completed
within two years time. but it was subse-
quently found necessary to extend the
period for two years more.
Owing to the lapse of time and the wide
extent of territory covered by the act, to
say nothing of the difficulty of locating
and identifying the remains of men buried
under war conditions in u large territory.
the task assumed was one of difficulty
and magnitude. The official returns OF
death losses in the Confederate armies on
file in the War Department are incom-
pIete and unsatisfactory. Nearly all the
rolls of 4 la bama troops are missing. and
those of none of the southern states are
complete. The actual extent of their
losses by disease and casualties in battle
must ever remain matter of conjecture.
The great work of collecting. identifying
and marking the burial places of the
Union dead was begun Immediately after
the civil war. when II was comparatively
easy to come at every source OF lnfOr-
nation concerning the deceased soldiers.
yet il is lamentable fact that out of {,
total of 800 O7 Union dead the graves
of 139, 1876 are marked unknown"
!.
IF more than one-third OF the Union dead
had To be marked unknown under the
more favorable circumstances it is hardly
likely that even so great Il proportion OF
the Confederate dead could be identified
at later period of time.
Probably hardly one-tenth of the occu-
pants oi the graves Of Confederate s
found could be identified with any degree
Of certainty, besides which the burial
places of thousands of ConfederateS in
the nature of things cannot be found at

291 others died of disease. Ii is re-

Der OF deaths from disease was nearly

am told that the kawasaki Company
could not have grown to it's present pro-
portions had it not been for the govern
ment subsidies. This is so with the other
ship-building companies; and the home
built ships of today are all due to gov
eminent support. AS 1t is now. there is
a bounty Of Sc a ton on all vessels OF
from 700 to 1000 tons, and one of $40 per
ton for vessels of more than that. There
is also a bounty of 80 per horsepower
on the engines used. Sums like these run
into big figures when the ships are large.
At SO ton, the two nine-thouSand-ton
ships in the harbor will each receive
$4,000 with a large rake-off for their
horsepower. These hounties have been
given since 1896 and as a result, Japan
is now able to build about as good ves-
sells as any other nation. Other bounties
are awarded to all ships in the carrying
trade; and Japan's mercantile marine now
