FIND HOLY WRIT ON PAPYRi.

GLASGOW University Gets Manuscripts
Discovered by Explorers in Egypt.
Five new specimens of original
Greek papyri discovered by Drs. Gren-
fell and Hunt at Oxyrhynchus, have
been presented to Glasgow University
by the Egypt exploration fund.
1t was at Oxyrhynchus that the ia
nous new Sayings of Jesus" were re-
Gently found. The most important OF
the papyri is a fragment OF the XIV
and XVI chapters of Johns gospel,
dating from the end Of the third CEN
fury and substantially confirming the
readings so largely adopted by the
new testament revisers.
The fragment is further Of import
ance as showing the outward form in
which the new testament writings
were first circulated.
Their contents it is now known, were
written in parallel columns on rolls
of papyrus in upright letters of a
medium size, and with no divisions be-
tween the words, and without punctua-
ton marks, while the numerous
lacunae, or breaks. caused by the brit
tie nature, of the material, are \ OF
themselves convincing evidence of the
case with which errors in copying
would arise during the earliest period
In the history Of the text.
The second document, dating from
the fifth century. is an amulet or
charm, probably worn around the neck.
as it was tightly folded up and tied
with a string.

For French Sportsmen.

Effect on Game in Future Problem
For French sportsmsn.
The feathered tribe of Belgium and
northern France has been dispersed by
the din of war. In all the districts Of
the Marine 1t was noticed after the
battle that the birds had; disappeared.
The Argonne forests also have beyn
nearly depopulated of all kinds of game
by the continual turmoil In those re-
gions. Driven to detached woods and
thickets where their dangers would
have been increased in time of peace,
they now find security.
Apart from their enforced exile; birds
are not the. least fortunate of beings
in these times,N game shooting being
prohibited in France. When the mar
kets furnished evidence that some
poachiffy was going on, the minister
of war issued warning that the sale
Of no other than imported refrigerator
game would be tolerated. Early in the
war soldiers supplemented their ra-
tions by taking a hare or a pheasant
here and there, but this was stopped
by order.
Scarcity of game in the market is no
hardship, for it is small part of the
Authorization of Paris. The arrivals

native and 450 tons OF imported game,
while the arrivals of domestic poultry
alone aggregate $1,000 tons. Belgium
sends $4,000 larks to Paris each sea-
son, while the game importations from
countries are: Austria, $500 deer,
$4,000 cartridges, $4,000 hares; Italy,
%, 900 quail Australia, 100000 rabbits,
10000 hares, and $4,000 larks; England,
40, 900 pheasants and 5000 partrioEes.
An effort is being made to substitute
the Russian reindeer for Austrian deer.
No doubt considerable game that did
not get away from the continually
beaten war zone has been destroyed,
and the sportsmen who have shooting
preserves in those parts of the country
are pessimstic as to the future; they
think 1t will require several years to
repopulate those regions. On the other
hand. the prohibition of one seasons
shooting in the territory not affected
by hostilities, it is thought will result
in immense benefit to game in general
and that next year and for many years
to come all kinds of game will be more
plentiful than ever before.-NeW YORK

THE STEEL MARKET.
Appearance of Rail- orders Is I'm
couraEAnx Feature Of Sitaation.

One Of tho few satisfactory features of
the steel trade tx the appearance Of rail
orders. The contracts, however, call for
tonnagcs considerably below last years
requirements. Steel interests are in a
hopeful mood but do not look for airy
sharp recovery right away.
Prices OF some classes OF steel are being
adjusted. but at their present low level
quotations have thus far failed TO attract
any large amount OF new business from
consumers.

Tennessee Copper has been conspicu-
ously strong and active during the past
few days. 1t has been moved up
at time when not only were

cause OF this special move. There does
not seem to be anything In the way of q
special development to account for It. APP

New stock holders In .. p.

An erroneous impression seems to pre-
vail as regards conditions In the mar
ket for Southern Pacific stock. II ID
quite commonly believed. for instance.
that II will take = long time for the new
stock formerly In the treasury Of the
Union Pacific to find permanent lodg-
Ing place and that a large portion OF this
stock still overhangs the market. OF
course the stock was sold. technically
speaking. when the underwriting syndi-
cate took charge of the sale. but it was
not consumed" In the sense that II had
gone into investors hands. II is inter-
esting TO learn. therefore, that more than
100000 shares Of the total OF $S3,000,00O
have been sold and paid for In full. About
10000 shares are represented by sub
scrption receipts on which an instalment
of 25 per cent. has been paid. The ex-
tent to which the public has taken the
stock may be indicated by the fact that
only 100000 shares remain unconverted
from the original certificates. Inasmuch

Since tho sale the number has increased

There has been no especial reason for the
decline in Northwest as In the case Of
American Telephone, American Sugar and
even Pennsylvania. The decline was
caused apparently by the general att-
tiidu OF investors toward railroad stocks.
