WYCLIFFE's WORK ON BIBLE
Historians Uncertain az to What
Part He Actually Took In Trans-
Iation Into English.

John Wycliffe (1335-13S4), who has
been called the Morning Star Of the
Reformation" translated-or caused
to be translated-the Bible from the
Vulgate (St. Jerome's Latin version)
into English, with the assistance Of
Nicholas Of Hereford and John Pur.
vey. Wycliffe and his disciples la.
bored at the translation for some ten
or fifteen years. Scholars are not
agreed as to exactly what part Wy
cliffe himself took In the literary
work.
1T Is known fact" says the En-.
cyclopaedia Britannica. that Wycliffe
proclaimed the Bible as mans su-
preme spiritual authority. and that ha
sought in consequence by every means
In his power to spread the knowledge
Of 1t among the people. It Is, there
fore. in all likelihood due to the zeal Of
Wycliffe and his followers that we
owe the two noble Fourteenth century
translations Of the Bible which tradi-
ton has always associated with hia
name. and which are the earliest com
plete renderings that wN possess Of
the Holy Scriptures into EnslisA, The
first Of these. the so-called early var

Race of ToothIess Men In India,

In the Hindu Anil community Of
Hyderabad Sind, in India, there has
been found a type of men who have
no teeth. These men are further
characterized by bald head and an
extreme sensitiveness to heat. They
are known as "Bhudas," which lit
orally means "toothless." The fol-
lowing facts have been learned about
them:
When such a man "a "Bhuda") mar
ries a normal girl having both par,
ents free from these defects, all the
children. both male and female, are
apparently normal-that is to say, ap-
parently free from the defect.
When the females marry normal
males, their female children are ap-
parently normal, while the male chill
dren are "Bhudas."
No case Is known in which a tooth
less man has married the daughter Of
a "Bhuda."

Windows Easily Broken by Blasts.

Explosions of powder or other SINH
lar materials often are very destruc-
tive to windows, even If they are at a
great distance from the point Of ex-
plosion. When an explosion occurs air
waves are thrown off with great VIC
lence. Sometimes these air waves are
thrown back with such violence that
buildings in the immediate vicinity Of
the explosion are destroyed.
The force Of the air waves acts In
all directions at the same time and
with equal force. Very often these air
waves are thrown for great distances
and, while the houses In its path are
strong enough to resist their violence,
the windows are shattered because
they cannot withstand the high pres
