BIBLES THAT ARE PRICELESS
Four Copies Of Sacred Book Regarded
as Treasures by Their For
tunate Owners.

The largest Bible in existence is In
covers are made Of solid planks. four
inches thick. and the pages measure Il
yard In length. 1t Is estimated that
100 asses skins must have been used
to furnish the 300 parchment leaves of
this colossal book. 1t Is considered
priceless.
A well-to-do New Yorker Is the
proud possessor Of q manuscript Bible
written by his only son. cripple. He
could only WORK about two hours n
complete his task. 1t does not contain
a single error or slip. for If error or
slip occurred the youth discarded the
whole page. The verses and headings
are all In red ink. and the whole Is
beautifully written.
In house in Grafton street London.
there Is q shorthand Bible which was
written at least two centuries before
Pitman was born. 1t was written by
m apprentice in the day Of James H.,
when to possess common or
garden" Bible was rather dangerous.
An American lady cherishes a Bible
probably as old as the one written
In shorthand. which an anceStress
baked In loaf of bread when house
toulouse search was being made for
stray copies of the scriptures. The SOL
diers came to search the house, but IT
is not matter of wonder that they
failed to find the hook. which now,
looking pretty old. is the lady's chief
treasure.

Comforts Over a Volcano.

Up In the mountains, where snow
covers the ground more than half the
year and zero blasts whistle ont Of
the north, lies the town of Chaudes-
aigues, and in this town there has not
been a heating stove or furnace for
many years. Coal, firewood and gas
are unknown and there are no Chin
news in this town of 1000.
No, Chaudesaigues Is not In Utopia.
It Is In Auvergne. France, and the ex-
PLANTATION of its emancipation from SCOT
and furnaces and ashes lies in the fact
that it is built in what was the crater
of q volcano, and from the ground be-
meath comes boiling water In great vol
ume. Lectures Pour Tous, Paris
magazine, tells how this water Is piped
through the streets and under houses
throughout the town without cost to
the resident. Even In the coldest of
weather, and 1t gets very cold In
Chaudesaigues-well below zero-the
houses are kept at balmy tempera-
ture merely by raising trap door in
the floor and letting out the heat from
the flowing waters. the magazine says.

Eneruy Released In Combustion.

A piece Of coal releases. during COM

about 1000 miles, or say from New
York to Panama. vertically upward
against constant sea level gravitation.
A piece of hydrogen. orr most ener-
Cetic cembuStible. releases In comhus
ton an amount of energy capable of
lifting about four times as far, or to n
vertical distance (ngainst sen level
gravitation) roughly equal to the dis
tance from New York to Manila.
But piece Of radium emanatIon
yields without any combustion an
amount of energy In the process of its

but to the orbit Of the planet Neptune

RADICALIsM SCORES AGAIN.

Through half-hearted support on the part of the
allies General Wranges army, which sought to be a
buwark between the rest of the world and the Boil
shevik Beast, has been destroyed.
Europe has been strangely lethargic in meeting
the red peril First, it failed to give Kerensky the
proper support against the forces of discomfort.
Then it allowed Admiral Kolchak's anti Bolshevik
movement to be crushed. And now comes the
Wrange fiasco.
Only in the of Poand's campaign against
the soviet armies last summer did the allies give
prompt and effective aid France sent General
Weygand and six hundred officers to organize the
Polish army into a stronger fighting unit.
Though numerically small, this force was suf-
ficent to do the work. The Bolsheviki were driven
from Poland and were willing to quit virtually on
Poland's terms
This incident clearly shows what the allies could
do to aid the forces that fighting for law and
order in Russia The aid that is given need not be
in the shape of large army; but it should be timely
