In Midst Of Fight.

Our battery returned salve
after salve. The man at the phone
yelled more numbers at the COM
mandent who In turn yelled at
the 60 men at the guns. Whether
our firing did Il or not or wheth-
er the Russians lost the range, NO
one could decide. but as suddenly
as 1t had begun. the Russian fir
ing ceased in our direction and
we ventured out to see what holes
the Russian shells had made. We
found five holes as large as cellars
and some wounded horses. but no
one had been killed, that we could
discover.
At s o'clock II was pitch dark.
We went back to the creek and
climbed into our wagon for the
return to Przemysl. The reserve
men had come down from the
hillside where they had waited all
day and we're beginning to cross
the bridge towards the front. The
white horse that we had seen
among them in the morning was
ridden by a young captain with a
bristling mustaches. We passed
hundreds of camp fires and the
strings of wagons still filled the
road as they had done In the
morning, and as they had done
every minute of the day and as
they will do as long as there are
hundreds of thousands of weak,
hungry men or sickly wounded
dying men on the Przemysl battle

An Entirely New New Testament

w IHEN- all is said and done,
. wv the Bible remains the
newest and most inter-
esting volume in all the litera-
ture OF the world. Its truths are
older than protoplasm. yet its
thoughts are forever fresh with
the freshness of the morning. And
a new" New Testament is an
event.
The latest is published by Hold
der & Stoughton, of New York
b and London. From the mechan-
ical point of view it is perfect.
The new" Testament is en-
tirely new. 1t is the work of an
Oxford scholar, Dr. James Moi
fatt famous in all the Christian
world. 1t is his own work He is
under obligation to no church or
society or committee. He is in
dependent of other minds except
as the greatest scholars and
thinkers build upon the labors Of
earlier generations.
He has sought to translate the
New Testament into the language
of our day. He is not the first to
do this, The twentieth Century
New Testament came into en-
istence with the avowed object of
speaking colloquial English. DR..
Weymouth's admirable transla-
ton. The New Testament in
Modern Speech" finely bears out
the purpose set forth in its title.
DR.. Moffatt says of his own work:
Il have attempted to translate the
New Testament exactly as one
would render any piece of con-
temporary Hellenistic prose" He
knows that to do this is TO chal-
lenge in every line the ryhthm
and diction OF an English classic"
and to irritate many to whom the
very sound of Bible phrases is 4
sacred thing. But he believes
that the work is worth doing. He
is right.
1t is perfectly true that such
translation is heavily handi-
capped in competition with the
stately splendor of the Bible lam
guage we know so we'll But the
fact is that we are SO familiar
with II that out OF familiarity
have been bred fogs of deadly
dullness. \ British scholar, writ
ing before Or Moffatts volume
appeared, said very truly tina;
these unofficial TRANSACTIONS
have at least this value. they
shock the reader out of that
deadening familiarity which is
one of the worst enemies to ap-
probation OF the Bible

Shocks" the reader of the
new" New Testament will GER
tainly experience. From this
point of view DR.. Moffatts work
Is full of faults. The gains in
his version are enormous. The
failures are innumerable On the
same page are found changes
which make one cry out with sur
prise and delight and gratitude,
and changes which make one
gnash his teeth. There are fine
passages which rank as litera-
ture, even when brough, side by
side with the authorized version.
There are passages which make
one wonder what DIR. Moffatt has
done with his literary sense, with
his feeling for words, and with
his good taste.
DR.. Moffatt is obsessed by GER
tain words, such as the awkward
get" and the ugly got" Here
are dreadful specimens:
Then Jerusalem qcent
ont to Him and got bdptised by
HIM" Then Jesus came on the
scene from Gdlilee, to get bdp-
tised on John" II need to get
baptized by you" "Perhdps this
Wds tchy you and He Were parted
for q whiIe, that y0u might get
Him back for good" "ThrOu9h
Him zoe haze got access to this
grace"
This is not literary English. 1t
is not good newspaper" English.
1t is impossible not to regard
some passages as too free and
easy.
But there is much that is en-
tirely noble in the translation.
Sometimes the gain Is in strength,
sometimes in marvellous fresh
ness and suggestion. always there
is a gain in lucdity. No one
should give up difficult passage
in the New Testament until DR.
Moftatt has been consulted. The
probability is that in his trans
lation the difficulty explains itself
Here are some good examples
Of added intelligibility and
strength:

self-imposed work of more than
a hundred years to find the set

Astronomical Balance.
The result is one Grand, all
potent, all-powerful mean or av-
erage of a century of world wide
measures, the diamond Of dia-
monds, the most valuable number
in possession of man, the astron-
omical balance:
16.1 feet fallen t0\ end of ths

That is body let fall will, un-
der the action of the earth's at
traction of gravitation, fall ISL
feet during the first absolute sec
ond of time; and at the absolute
end of the second will be in mo-
ton with a velocity of 1872 feet
per second. These numbers con-
stitute the most accurate and
all-powerful scales in existence.

While the vivid metaphor OF
the Christians armor grows more
vivid in:
Hold your ground, tighten the
belt of truth about your loins,
acear integrity as your coat of

Once DR.. Moffatt's weakness
becomes a strength His news
paper English" is memorable in
its vigor:
BE angry, but do not sin:
neDer let the sun set upon your
transportation; gire the deuV no

The best of all is the transla-
ton Of PauPs famous hymn Of
love, itself the greatest miracle
of Christianity. There is hardly
line in DR.. Moffatt's version
which is not new. Every phrase
is a new text for the preacher, a
new. imperishable idea for us all.
Here is lovely account Of the

Certainly she could have done
nothing to secure her own peace
of mind in keeping the other two
apart, and binding to her man
who would hate her more and
more for standing in the path of
his desire.
The only dignif1ed and rational
way to deal with a recreant hus-
band is as this woman has done,
and as a Kansas woman did, who
went to her husbands affinity
and said to her, For $3.50 I'll
give you a quitclaim to John. It's
about s1235 more than he's
worth, and I feel that l will be
cheating you in taking it, still If
you fancy him!'--

hangs on to a man after hes
deadly weary of her and wants
to be rid of her always claims

lieves she can win back his love.
No woman in the world is fool
ish enough to really believe this.
She knows that of all dead things
nothing is so absolutely dead as
dead love. For it there is no res
direction day.
Once the charm and Illusion
that woman has had for a man
is gone, it can never be conjured
up again, any more than you can
turn the shattered rose back into
a bud again.
1t Is, of course, very, very sad
when a husband ceases to love
his wife, but when it happens she
can not alter the catastrophe by
hanging on to him. She only
makes a bad matter worse by so
doing. and she can save her face,

1t indicates that women are at
last beginning to show common
sense instead of hysteria In SEN
timental matters and to discover
that life has a few other thing,
besides love in 1t.
The enlightened attitude to-
ward love which men have al
ways held is being slowly but
surely accepted by women. This
is that, while love is the orna-
ment of existence, it Is by no
means the whole shooting-match.
Up to our grandmother's time I,
was the proper thing for a young
maiden who had been disappoint-
ed in love to pine away and die of
broken heart, or, if she hap
pened to have too strong a con-
stitution for even morbid senti-
ment to kill her, to go through
the world with the sad, SWEEP
smile of a blishted being.
But you never hear of any,

these days, and instead of being
blighted, girl who is Tilted gath

breach of promise court.
In our mothers time it was es-
teemed absolutely necessary to a
woman's happiness for her to be
loved, and in consequence the old
maids who had been passed over
by Cupid were pitied as bank
rupts in life. Now, while we still
recognize that love is the crown
of existence, we know that
woman may be exceedingly hap
Ply and jolly and comfortable
without it, and so nobody is vast

TINE art Of weighing has ex-
banded into a comprehen-
sive science and can no
longer be called mere art.
Scales are made Of metal but
the set herein describe Is not
made of anything. Scales are in
hourly use that can weigh a pen
cil-mark whose length is one
fourth of an inch; or a section
Of a hair Of equal length. The
usual practice in weighing runs
from grains, ounces, pounds up
to tons, usually one ton, and then
UP to fifty or more tons in rail-
road weighing, costing hundreds
and thousands of dollars.
Elementary Laws.
But humans Tould find 1t quite
difficult to make scales that
would weight millions, billions,
trillions, 'quadrillions, quintillionr,
sextillions. septillions, octillions
and nonillions of toLs, or decil-
lions. An instrument able to
weigh a decillion tons can now
be purchased for one cent-a pen
Gil. The scales are not made of
metal; instead, a So. and fixed
specific speed is the next to all
powerful engine used. But it is
far more easy to run a locomo-
tive or steamship without know
ing a single law of these COM
pick machines than to even at
tempt to use the speedscal
without knowing every minute
detail of every velocity law of
moving bodies.
Let a street car start from rest
and keep moving faster and fas-
ter until its rate of motion is,
say, twenty miles per hour at the
end of one minute. II the speed
of she car increased uniformly
during the entire minute its aver
age speed is ten miles per hour,
because it started from rest and
increased TO twenty miles per
hour. If a body moves during
one minute at wenty miles per
hour the distance traversed will
be speed multiplied by time, or
twenty miles multiplied by one
sixtieth of an hour. or one third

of mile; but the average speed
in case of the car is tell miles
per hour, so that the distance
moved over is half as great, or
one sixth mile. This Is a fun
damental law of nature and is Of
enorm~ 5 importance.
Law: For uniformly increas-
ing speed, starting from rest, the
velocity increases with the time,
but the distance traversed is that
moved over by the moving body
with its average speed, or one
half
If measuring the distance fall
en- through by a body let fall at
the rigidly exact beginning of one
second of time, to the rigidly ex-
act end thereof is difficult; what
shall be said of finding how fast
it is falling at the end of the sec
ond. Go try; work from the ages
of twenty to sixty years daily
and you will fail. The fact is, the
time required to find the mathe-
matically exact specific speed of
a falling body in still air was al
most that required to measure
the distance of the nearest star,
about 120 years.
Wonderful Machine.
Then Atwood invented his
machine and this finally came to
some near approach to accuracy.
But this instrument of precision
fell far short of the electrical
chronographic apparatus. When
all of this very complex mech
anism is in perfect order it re-
leases the ball at the exact begin
ming of a second and records the
absolute time on the cylinder Of
a chronograph electrically and
repeats the process at the abso-
lutte end of the second so far as
human hands are able to d6 rig

Dead Love Can't Be Restored-Th Woman Who Lets Her
Husband Go if His Love Is Dead Deserves
Praise for Her Sanity

\ MAN in another State grew
~ tired of his wife and fell in
love with another woman,
whom he wanted to marry. In
stead Of lying to his wife, and de-
ceiving her, and indulging in a
clandestine romance with the 9TH
er woman, the man went frankly
to his wife and told her all about
1t.
1t was an unfortunate and tray
ical state Of affairs, but the wife
had the good sense, the good
taste and the good judgment to
meet it in a noble and dignified
manner.
She simply eliminated herself.
She permitted her husband to
go to Reno and get a divorce on
technical grounds without any
scandal, or mud throwing, or any
dirty family linen being wa shed
in public to shame and humiliate
her children whenever their ia
theirs name was mentioned, and
to be lasting disgrace to them.

Many a Wife Would B,
Willing to Give Her
Husband Awav.

Up to this present moment
there has been tradition that no
matter how lazy, and trifiing, and
drunken, and disagreeable a hus-
band was, if he deserted his wife
she should bemoan her lot in
sackcloth and ashes, instead of
getting up and rejoicing that she
was rid of a loafer that she had
to support or a brute that beat
her
The truth is that many a WIFE
instead of being broken hearted
at losing a husband, would be
perfectly willing to hand him over
to any other woman that would
take him. Hence, perhaps, the
philosophy with which the wife Of
the recreant husband meets his
sidestepping.
