Circulating the Scriptures.

The 1919 issues of the American BIZ
bic society were 3,75a.3D9 volumes.
The sun never scissor the representa-
tives OF this society, which asserts
that some one is busy every hour of
the day and every day Of the year cir
culating the Scriptures. This total
means that seven volumes were issued
every minute of every hour Of every
day of the year.
Tie issues OF 1919 were the small
est since 1911; chiefly because of
after war conditions. The average
az annual issues for the last ten years
has been over 100000 volun 5. For
the period OF the war, l914-1919, Il
was over $4,000. which means that
on an Average II volumes Of Scrip
lures were issued every minute of the
years of the war by the American BIZ
Bile society.

RARE FRUITS IN PHILIPPINES
Two That Are Said to BE Delicious

Among the productions OF the Phil-

RECALL FATE OF FRANKLIN
interesting Relics Recently Brought TO
Vancouver From the Land
Where He Perisl,ed.

thrifty natives Of King Wiliinms land
for three-quarters of century, q
large number Of interesting relics Of
the Inflated Sir John Franklin polar
expedition have been brought from
HE frozen north by joe Benard who
is here after a four yearS' stay along
the narthernmost coast of the North
AmcrIcan continent says Vancouver
(B. 60 dispatch.
Though priceless from n collectors
point of view. the unitarian value OF
tile relics is negligible, and they were
obtained by Bernard for piece or
lumber worth possibly 20 cents on the
coast.
A few brass buttons among the
relies are believed to have belonged to
the distinguished leader, though there
Is as yet no positive proof of this.
Bernard also obtained a number OF
primitive scientific instruments used
by the northern tribes. These will he
sold TO various museums and llniyer-
stiles for which the explorer has been
collecting chronological specimens and
data since 1910. He also brought a
collection of furs worth approximate
ly $4,000.

New illumination.

Prof. Alexander Silvcrman has in
vented a new illuininator for the NIL
croscope. whose special advantage is
that 1t gives a very strong light upon
the object examined. so that Opaque
and translucent bodies can be as
readily studied as transparent ones.
The top of the object on the side can
be seen with all the variations OF its

in testing samples Of metals since II

ART EXPRESSION
FOR YOUR HOME

Good taste In selecting individual
Dieces by no means implies even
ordinary skill in putting these
things together successfully in a
room.
The collections Of furnishings
made by those who do not under
stand how to combine demonstrate
clearly that arrangement as well
as selection Is absolutely necessary
TO harmonious or correct art ex-
preston.
The expression of good taste in
selecting and arranging materials
in a home is not a matter of hap
hazard. but OF skill acquired
through a knowledge of governing
principles, with which any person
Of average intelligence may now,
with little effort and at small ex-
psnse, become seriously acquainted
Minnie Brunker Ross, Of New
York City, has brought about this
opportunity for culture by making
il possible for persons so inclined
to become enlightened as to the
principles of art governing the Sc
lection and arrangement Of home
furnishings, where there is a hope
Of an art or decorative effect. A
knowledge of these principles will
create a better understanding of
art expression, a finer appreciation
of what art expression means to
the home, and a surer knowledge of
how to express it there.

Do Not Expect Falling Erec-

With regard to the general build
ing situation, s. W. Straus.s of S. W.
straus and Company. says:
Construction work throughout
the country is holding up we'll for
this season of the year The build
ing OF smarl homes is proceeding
in a gratifying manner. with spe-
ctal activities reported in the New
York district and the South. Esti-
mates of the total Of new building
contracts for the year indicates that
in valuation 1921 will be about
equal 20 1920, which was the rec
Ord-breaking period for the indus
try. On square-footag basis,
however, II would appear at this
time that the 1921 total will be less
than last year.
The most important factor at
present is that OF construction
costs. and opinion prevails that the
tendency will not be toward lower
levels. II should be borne in mind
that the law Of supply and demand
is an irrevocable factor in all eco
monte situations. 1t is the final and
deciding element. Various official
and authentic statistics as to the
amount of construction necessary
to bring the building situation back
to normal have been made from
time to time. The most conserva-
tive Of these estimates places the
shortage at about $4,000 600, 900. On
the present annual basis or new
building contracts throughout the

building work now going on is not
Of sufficient magnitude to make

CraI housing status it Is quite with
in the bounds of good judgment to
conclude that we are to have A
<ather prolonged period of very
active building
1T is contrary to experience TO
expect continually falling prices in
the face Of abnormal demands and
activities. Consideration alsp must
nc given to the revival of general
business in this country, and
eventually. throughout the world.
\ more optimistic tone, in fact. is
hcing manifested continually.
In addition to these basic con-
.ditfons. which must certainly have
their effect on building costs, IL Is
40 be remembered that there are
heavy burdens of taxation to be met,
that great projects Of public works
which will demand heavy supplies
Of. labor ard materials are pending,
and that there is a continued de-
velopment toward better standards
81 living and greater conveniences,
which mean higher prices.
while there will be fp~ruations
in building costs bastd on local or
temporary conditions, and while
there may be occasional recessions
from high levels II seems contrary
to the dictates of conservative
Judgment to withhold any worthy
or well ordered building project in
the expectation OF securing pro-
nounced price reductions. We be-
Ueve in the continued growth OF
this country and in the steady up
