JUGGLING WITH FIGURES

February will put the acid test to
those interpreters of the Scripture
who see in the Kaiser the figure Of
the "beast" in the Book of Revela-
ton. For in February, according to
the favored Interpretation, the war
must come to close. The vision Of
the Revelator has it that power was
given unto him to continue forty and
two months" The war was under
way about the first of August, 1914.
Forty-two months carries US up to
February, 1913.
When it comes to securing the Kali
ser's number, the interpreters have
their work cut out. But much may
be done with figures, if one uses them
freely. The number that has been
assigned the Kaiser is, of course. six
hundred and sixty-six. The verse
reads:
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath
understanding count the number Of
the beast; for it is the number of a
man; and his number is six hundred
and three score and six.
To fasten this number to the Ger
man Emperor, the cryptogrammists
take the word "kaiser" and find the
numbers in the alphabet of the let
ters that form it. For. example "K"
is eleven, "a" is one, 81" is nine, and
so on. Place these in line to be add
ed. Now comes the strong arm
work, reminding one of Ignatius Dom
nelly's work on his Baconian cipher.
The figure six is added at the end of
each number, SO that the numbers
read, one hundred and sixteen, six
teen, ninety-six and so on. Now
when they are added, they form six
hundred and sixty-six, the required
number of the Kaiser. But the Book
of Revelation was originally written
in Greek. How does the word "Kai-
ser" figure not in the Greek alpha
bet?
1t is also triumphantly noted that
when the Kaiser started the war, he
was fifty-five years and six months
old, that is, he was six hundred and
sixty-six months old. Can any one
doubt longer. Certainly no Baco-
MAN.
But the test of all this is at hand
The cryptogrammists must stop the
war at once to make good with them
selves and with the more generous OF
the public who would be willing to &C.
cept even Mr.. Donnelly's Baconian
cryptogram if it would stop the war
with the Kaiser and friends on the to.

YANKEES IMPRESS DUTCH
WRITERS.

AMSTERDAM, June goth. Dutch news
paper correspondents who have been per-
mitted to view American achievements
in various points in France are vastly
impressed by the tremendous energy and
ability with which the Americans have
built railroads, harbor works and hospit-
ais at speed bewildering to old-fashioned
European nations. In long description
the correspondent of the Nleuwe Rotter-
damsche Courant, writes from Bourges,
14O miles south of Paris, as follows:
"The country is simply saturated with
Americans. 1t is here that the close
contact of the two nations will surely
bear the first fruit"
From conversations with local French
men the correspondent is able to testify
to the unfeigned admiration of the French
for the Americans soldier-like qualities,
breezy vigor and self-confidence, coupled
with their ready desire to learn. The
correspondent pays high tribute to the
high type of American officer who cheer
fully tackles gigantic tasks behind the
lines.

tween 1920 and 1885, Its architect
was Robert de Luzarches. 1t consists
of a nave nearly 40 feet high, with
aisles and lateral chapels, a transept
with aisles, and a choir ending in an
apse surrounded by chapels. The total
length is 1859 feet. it's breadth 216 feet.
The facade, which is flanked by two
square towers without spires, has
three portals decorated with a pro-
fusion of statuary, and over the cen
trail portal is the remarkable statue
of Christ, of the thirteenth century,
which has given to this entrance the
name of the porch of the beautiful
God" Surmounting the portals are
two galleries, and above these a fine
rose window.
Wood That Leaps Like Living Flame.
Ruskin went into raptureS over the
wood carvings of the choir. "What-
ever you wish to see, or are forced
to leave unseen at Amiens," he said,
"if the overwhelming possibilities of
your existence and the inevitable ne
cessities of precipitate locomotion in
their fultllment have left you so much
as one quarter of an hour, not out of
breath, for the contemplation of the
capital of Picardy, give it wholly to
the cathedral choir. Aisles and
porches, lancet windows and roses,
you can see elsewhere as well as
here-but such carpenters work you
cannot. 1t is latefully developed fam
boyant just past the fifteenth century,
and has some Flemish stolidity mixed
with the playing French fire of it but
wood carving was the Picard's JOY
from his youth up, and so far as
know there is nothing else so beau
tiful cut out of the goodly trees Of the
world. Sweet and young grained wood
it is; oak, trained and chosen for such
work, sound now as four hundred years
since. Under the carver's hand it
seems to cut like clay. to fold like
silk, to leap like living flame. Can
opy browning canopy pinnacle pierre
ing pinnacle-it shoots and wreatheS
itself into an enchanted glade, mex
tricable, imperishable, fuller of leaf
age than any forest, and fuller of
story than any book"
Ruskin notes that the dominant tone
of the sculptures that so profusely
decorate the cathedral is that of peace
and mercy.
Summing up his Interpretation of
the Amiens cathedral, the "Bible of
Amiens," as Ruskin asks:
"Who built it, shall we ask? God
and man is the first true answer. The
stars in their courses built it, and the
nations. Greek Athena labors here.
and the Roman Father Jove, and
Guardian Mars. The Gaul labors here
and the Frank; knightly Norman,
mighty Ostrogoth, and wasted anchor
lite of Idumea. The actual man who
! built it scarcely cared to tell you he
did so; nor do the historians brag of
him. Any quantity Of heraldries of
knaves and faineants you may find in
what they call their history; but this
is probably the first time you ever
read the name of Robert of Luzarches.
