OXFORD BIBLE WIDELY KNOWN
From Thirty to Forty Copies Arc Printed by the University Press
 Every Minute.

The Oxford Bible Is widely known, but Jew persons are aware of the tre- mendous scale on which it is produced
 The Bible publications of the OK ford University press have been is- sued for 300 years, and can be pub lshed in 150 languages and dialects. Every year fully six hundred tons of paper are used for this purpose alone Orders for 100000 Bibles are uuite common. and the supply of printed sheets is so great that an order for half million copies can be readily filled. On an average, from thirty to forty Bibles are furnished every min. ute, and this number can readily be doubled.
 There are no fewer than 11O differ ent editions of the Oxford Bible in English, varying from the magnificent folio edition for pulpit purposes to the
 brilliant" Bible, the smallest edition of the Scriptures in the world. Of the revised version, 14 editions are pub nshed. More than one million copies or the revised New Testament had been ordered before the day of publi- cation in May of 1881, and 1t Is claimed that the workingmen of the establishment refused bribe of some t4,OOO to furnish copy of the book before the day of issue
 At banquet held at the four hun dredth anniversary celebration of the beginning of the art of printing in England by Caxton, Gladstone took into his hands and exhibited to those present copy of the Bible which had been printed and bound entirely since midnight of the preceding day. The preparation of the India paper" used by the Oxford University press is business secret of great value. Al though frequently initiated, 1t has never been equaled. The largest folio Bible printed in Oxford measures 19 by 12 inches, and no erratum has as yet been found in it. The Brilliant Text Bible" measures 3A by 2M inches and is three-quarters of an inch thick. and, bound, weighs less than three ounces.

Pure Accident

When David R. Francis, recently appointed ambassador to Russia by President Wilson, was governor of Missouri, he was nightly interested in the negro population of Jefferson City, the state capital. He knew much of what there was to know about the colored man, having been born and raised" in Kentucky himself. and had number of good stories about an old darky whom he called Hot Foot, be- cause he was so deliberate. Hot Foot had stereotyped reply to the gov ernor's morning salutation.
 "Good morning. Hot Foot" the gov ernor would say. How are you to- day?"

 And the governor never failed to laugh.

 Repairs and controversy with the customs officials as to whether a ship of Philippine registry had a right to fly the American flag kept the ship at Honolulu. She made her way against unfavorable winds until October, when, near the Socorro Island, of Mexico she struck dead calm which lasted 37 days, during which time the ships only progress was made by it's aux Hilary power.
 The calm was succeeded by a furi- ous gale. Water got below decks and spoiled all the remaining provisions, with the exception of rice, which diet soon began to pail, but the ship was in a green turtle zone.
 During this period Capt. F. V. Chap mans two small children were effl- cient aids of the commissary depart ment. Charles, the younger, who is a year and a half old, was too young to ct ox oil schooner left Manila He had grown a great deal. however, before the ship reached the green turtle zone and had developed a remarkable pair of sea legs. He and his brother, Ira, just a year older, kept watch on the forward part of the schooner and could detect turtles at great distance.
 Whenever the shout of turtle would go up the forward watch, a small boat would be put over to catch the floating food. One turtle made a meal for all hands-Captain Chapman. Mrs. Chapman and their children, four officers, nine Filipino sailors, a Japa nese engineer and a Japanese cook. For fear of running short, Captain Chapman kept a stock of six or seven live turtles on board most of the time.
 Tots Can't Walk on Land.
 The ship reached Punta Arenas on November 28 and remained there mak- ing repairs and taking on provisions until December 24, and for a while Captain Chapman had his family ashore here. The younger boy never had walked on land and the elder had forgotten how, and at every step the youngsters would lift their legs too high and lurch to the side. They did not remain in port long enough to master the technique of walking on a stationary surface.
 There were more bad winds from Punta Arenas to Balboa where the schooner arrived on January 1. At the Canal zone the A. J, West had it's first piece of good luck. Because of the ships light draft 1t was able to get through the canal, but 1t was just in time.
 The ship was in such bad condition it was necessary to discharge the car go at Colon and go into dry dock for repairs, and not until February F could the schooner leave Colon, after ! which she fought gales all the way here
