Bible Circulation.
I'm the Philadelphia Press

From the Philadelphia Press.
The Bible is the most popular book in
the United States. This country produces
more Bibles than any other in the world.
Spea king before the Presbyterian Synod
at Atlantic City, Dr. Eckhart of Philadel-
phia stated that twenty-seven copies of
the Scripture were issued from the Ameri-
can presses every minute of the day.
This figures up $3.50 made up every
twenty four hours. Were the Bible a
monthly magazine its issue would be
1. 1855, 400, and to keep up with the total
of the year. which is 1885, 500. no less
than 1.62O copies have to be produced
each time the clock strikes the hour. BY
its merits, by long tradition, by popular
choice. by critical estimate and by liter
airy warrant the Bible today commands
a circulation that places it easily first in
the almost countless making of books 1t
Is the most widely circulated volume, or
rather library. in the world

LILIES OF THE BIBLE.
They Are Wind Flowers, az No True
Lilies Grow In the Holy Land.

They Are Wind Flowers, az No True
Lilies Grow In the Holy Land.
1t is a common belief. even among
we'll informed people, that the word
lilly" as used In the sacred text means
a real lily in the modern sense Of the
word. This, however, is not the case.
No real lily grows or ever grew with
In the confines of the Holy Land. The
white lily nilium candidum), which is
often mistaken for the plant Of Scrip
ture, is not a native of Palestine, nor
can it be made to grow there, even In
cultivation, without great care
1t is commonly conceded that the
plant Christ saw about him during the
Sermon on the Mount was the same
plant which in early spring is still
found In great abundance in the val
legs of that country-namely. the orr
entail wind flower (Anemone coronaria).
The tint of its blossoms is from blood
red to crimson, and 1t Is called wind
flower, not. as commonly supposed, be-
cause the slender stemmed blossoms
sway in the breeze, but because the
hairy seeds of some species are carried
and propagated by the wind.
The fact that Christ used the word
lilly" when a wind flower or anemone
was meant need not surprise us, for
the word was used as the people of his
day used it. And all the ancient peo-
pies, even the Greeks, employed the
word lilium or lirion or krinon when
referring to any plant with a cuplike
flower. Even today, when scientists
speak of common plants, they mention
water llies," '1ilies Of the valley"
etc., although they know full well that
these plants are not real lilies nor
even closely related to them.-Balu-
more American.

ATMOSPHERIC CHANGES.
What IL Means In Air Pressure When
the Barometer Falls.


1t is not an uncommon thing at GER
tain seasons Of the year for the ba-
rometer to shift an inch within twen-
ty-four hours. Sometimes the change
Is even greater. Few persons have
any idea what tremendous changes In
the atmosphere are indicated by such
a rise or fall in the mercury column.
A cubic inch of mercury weighs half
a pound. When the mercury falls an
inch a weight of one ton is removed
from every 1000 square inches of
surface. This is a ton for every area
Eve and a quarter feet square. II
your house. for instance. is 25 by 40
feet, with an area of 1000 square feet,
a load of about thirty-six tons is lift
ed from the roof every time the ba-
rometer shows an inch fall-that Is,
thirty-six ton load would be lifted II
the house were air tight. But as air
presses in every direction there Is as
much of a push upward against the
roof from below as there is of push
downward from above. So the roof
actually feels no effect from the re-
moval of this heavy load.
In the same way man OF average
size would be relieved of weight OF
about a ton and a half II there were
no air chambers in the human body.
1t has been figured that fall of an
inch in the barometer over territory
400 miles square removes a weight
from the surface of the earth Of 160.-
000.000,000 tons If this were loaded
on freight cars, twenty tons to the car,
and thirty cars to the train, more than
26O,OO0,OOo trains would be required
to move it If each train were 500 feet
long they would stretch out in a line
more than 25,0O0,OO0 miles long.
The only noise that accompanies
this great transportation feat is made
by the wind. that does considerable
roaring In the course Of such violent
atmospheric changes. - Kansas City
Star.
