Revision of Bible.

Charles Newburg, leader of the Bible
class Of the Peoples Church, does not
believe that the revisions of the Bible
In circulation are satisfactory. In speak
ing of the matter yesterday. he said
The Bible. in its first germs and be-
ginnings, reaches back beyond the gray
mists of antiquity into prehistoric time.
Today. fresh as ever, II amuSeS. and

fluences and rules the grown. and COM

known. the history of a petty. fourth or
fifth rate kingdom is translated into most
of the living languages and will probably
lose its hold upon mankind only with the
end Of the human race.
IF there is any truth in the assertion
that in the everlasting battle for life the
most proper selection is made by the sur
vival of the tittest. the existence of the
Bible through so many centuries is an un-
ansWerable verdict in itself 1t must Ger

There are too few chaplains in the

the revision does not go far enough.

The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1909-10-19

Two cases of careless handling of fire.
arms were tried in our courts last week,
resulting In conviction, in one instance as
the person indicted was charged. in the
other of the lesser degree of crime. The
boy who killed little girl in Burlington
was convicted of manslaughter. The two
men who shot some .boys who were
stealing peaches, were convicted of assault
and battery. The boy is of tender age, the
men are mature and are supposed to have
real reasoning powers. There may be some
sympathy for the boy, still the fact must not
be overlooked that he took the life of a
human being. While he told his little
victim that he intended to shoot her, it is
possible that he did not realize the full
import of his words. Had he been older,
however. he would have been convicted
of murder on that expression of intent
In the opinion of many the child alone
should not be punished. Testimony In
great volume was given to show that he
has been peaceful and decent child, but
the deadly loaded weapon was within his
reach and he used 1t to play with, appar-
emily without parental restraint, and the
fatal result followed. In the case of the
two men the loaded gun was again the
agency, and that death did not follow in
this case was wonderful and fortunate.
Nobody believes that In either of these
cases there was a deliberate intention to
do bodily injury, but the fact remains that
loaded weapons are too frequently used
and too handy for use for the welfare of
the public. Indictments under technical
terms for accidental shooting do not
seem to reach the desired end. 1t would
seem as If there should be law for this
particular offence.

There is no insect which has puzzled
naturalists as to Its proper classified
ton more than the earwig. Some have
asserted that it belongs to the beetles.
of which it is an 'aberrant type" 9th
ers that it is connected with the grass
hoppers. Even about its very name
there has been endless discussion.
Some have thought the name earwig
is the result of the creatures supposed
habit Of getting into the ears, while
others are equally certain that it is
derived from the original name. which
they say was carving. from the fact
that the wing when spread resembles
the human ear. At all events, one
thing is certain-the earwig as we
know 1t now is survival OF an early
type of which almost every other mem
Der has become extinct.

HOW A HORSE GALLoPs.
The Natural Way and the Conventional
Pose In Art

Pose In Art.
How does a horse gallop? Owing to
the rapidity of action it cannot be seen
by the human eye. However, just as
the individual spokes of a rapidly re-
volving wheel can be made visible by
a fash of lightning, so the action of a
galloping horse can be and has been
analysed by instantaneous photogra-
ply.
The statuette of Sysonby. the thor
oughbred, has been made from photo
graphs taken at the instant when all
four legs are off the ground. The back
is arched, the hind feet are directed
forward, the fore feet backward. so
that all are tucked under the animals
body.
When the limbs again touch the
ground the first to do so is one of the
hind feet, which is thrust far forward
so as to form an acute angle with the
line of the body and thus serve the
purpose of spring in breaking the
force of the impact of the hoof when
the horse is going at top speed.
In the conventional mode Of repre-
senting a galloping horse all four legs
are off the ground at once, but the
front pair are extended backward in
such a way that the undersurfaces of
their hoofs are directed skyward, the
body being at the same time brought
near the ground. This conventional
pose appears to have been derived from
a dog running. when the front and
hind pairs Of legs are respectively ex-
tended forward and backward, with
the soles of the hind feet turned up
ward.
This pose. it is thought, was adopt
ed to represent the gallop of the horse
by the goldsmiths of Mycenae between
800 and 1000 B. c., whence it was
transmitted by way Of Persia and 81
IBERIA to China and Japan, to return
in the eighteenth century as the re-
suit of commercial relations to west
ern Europe.-Chicago Tribune.
