Standing on End It is More Than Five
Feet Tall.
A giant Bible has been bound by
the Oxford University Press for the
Bible crusade of Horbury Hall, Not
ting Hall Gate. London, West.
When standing on end the volume is
over five feet two inches high, and
nearly three feet six inches wide.
The width of the back is ten inches,
so that when the book is opened flat
it measures about seven feet ten
inches across. 1t is bouhd in rich
red Levant morocco leather of the
best quality; IL large goatskins hav-
ing been used for the l;nding. The
front cover is surrounded by the
arms of the counties of England and
Scotland inlaid in blue morocco
leather and decorated in gold; while
on the back of the book are display
ed the arms of the Welsh counties
similarly treated. In the center of
the front cover is panel of royal
blue morocco leather, containing the
royal arms inlaid with the heraldic
colors. The book contains It's
sheets of stout paper boards attach
ed by linen hinges to strips of sim.
liar material, which form the back
of the book. 1t is sewn with twine,
in the oldfashioned way. round six
stout hempen ropes leach rope con-
tanning 70 strands of hemp much
thicker than the ordinary clothes
line and four of these ropes are
laced into millboards one-half inch
thick, which form the foundations
for the leather covering. In order
to facilitate the handling of the
book during the various processes of
binding it was found necessary to
erect a wooden staging from the
cross beam Of, which depended an
iron chain and pulley block. and by
this means the position of the book
was altered from time to time.
Without the aid of the block and
pulley the assistance of six men
would have been necessary to manip-
ulate the volume. No fewer than
4, ,46e copies of the smallest Oxford
Bible could be contained within the
compass of this huge book, but they
might not have arrested so much
attention-such is the opinion and
the purpose of the Bible crusade
as this UNIQUE edition.

 This Summers Tennis And Golf Girl.
 Some of the raiment for tennis court and golf course is interchange able but not all of it. A complete outfit for each kind of sport is best. Tennis calls for light, cool clothing; golf for stuEdier toggery. One golfs in all weathers; but only on warm, sunny days is tennis really enjoyable And in the event of a shower, one may be under shelter in two minutes If in tennis trim-but there may be a mile to walk from the ninth hole to the clubhouse. Best for golf is a skirt of wool material, and a coat may be carried by ones caddy-for golf is a game of protracted waits out on breezy hills. The golf girl in the picture wears a, striped flannel skirt, laced boots of white buckskin with stout soles and low heels-ideal boots for walking over turf-and a new sport slip-on of fibre silk; one of the most comfy, graceful sport garments ever invented. A sort of glorified "middy'' it is, with the lustrous sheen of silk to lend it distinction.
