Different Words In the Bible.

Figures have just been made public
by Prof. A. s. Cook of Yale university
as to the number Of different words in
the authorized or King James version
of the Bible Excluding infected forms
of nouns, pronouns and verbs, Profess
sor Cook makes the total 6,56S. In
GLIDING these the total is 1854. The
working vocabulary OF the average
man tails far short of this number of
words. On the other hand, not few
contemporary authors must far exceed
1t, considering their realms OF COL
loquial speech and technical terminol-
ogy that the biblical narrative does
not touch. Besides, there Is the I'M
mense extension OF both knowledge
and OF words in the physical sciences,
about which the educated man OF to-
day must know something. Hence. az
a matter OF fact, during the last CEN
fury dictionaries have waxed bulky,
and words have multiplied at an as
founding rate. Thus between the first
and latest editions of Webster's die
tionary the word total mounted from
10000 to 100000. ,sga.
