Bible on earth is owned by Mrs.
John Irwin, Ninth street and Arling-
ton avenue, Mount Washington. 1t
is ITO inch long, 6-10 inch wide,
about 1-2 inch thick.
Mrs. Irwin has just returned from
a visit to Sweden and got the Bible
from her brother-in-law, Hjalmar
Hanson, in Stockholm. 1t was print
ed in 1905, and has come down
through the family since then. 1t
contains the whole New Testament
every line of every book. A person
must use a magnifying glass of con-
siderable power to read it.
Mrs. Irwin was offered a hand
some price for the Bible, both on
shipboard on the way home and
since she has been in this country,
but she intends to keep it as an
heirloom. A widely advertised
Smallest Bible in the world" which
Mrs. Irwin bought to compare with
her own, is 5-16 by 1916 inches in
size and contains only four books of
the New Testament. Mrs Twins

RAIN ON THE ROOF

I remember that I loved her
AS may ne'er love again,
And my hearts quick pulses vibrnte
To the patter of the rain.
Now IN memory comes my mother,
AS she used in years agone,
To survly her darling dreamers
Ere she left them tilt dawn.
o! see her leaning Ger me
AS l list to this refrain
Which played upon the shingles
BY the patter of the rain.
There is naught in arts bravuras
That can work with such a spell
In the spirits pure, deep fountains.
Whence the holy passions swell,
As that melody OF Nature,
That subdued, subduing strain,
Which is played upon the shingles
By the patter of the rain.

When the humid shadows hover
Over all the starry spheres,
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in rainy tears.
What a joy to press the pillow
OF cottage chamber bed
And to listen to the patter
OF the soft rain overhead!
Every tinkle on the shingles
Has an echo in the heart.
And a thousand dreamy fanctes
Into busy being start;
And a thousand recollections
Weave their air threads into wool
As I listen to the patter
OF the rain upon the roof.
And another comes to thrill me
With her eyes delicious blue;
And forget I. gazing on her,
That her heart was all untrue;

MARK DROPS STILL LOWER.
Few Buyers, as Belief is Gen.
eraI That Rate Will Further
Depreciate.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening.
London. Nov. s.--The German mark
continues TO fall on the London ex-
change market. breaking to new
lew record OF lees TO the pound
sterling before noon today, under
heavy offerings.
There We're few buyers, the belief
prevailing that the rate will depreci-
ate still further.
The direct impetus back of the SELL
ing of marks all over the world was
the publication of the Reichsbanls
statement, showing an increase in
mark note circulation during the week
Of $50. 900 marks, bringing the to-
tai up to 1857 Geo. 900 marks, as COM
pared with a circulation of approxi-
mately $4,000. 900 marks at the
first of the year and with normal
pre-war circulation of between 2,000,-
0o0. 900 and 5000. 900. 900 marks.
The downward course OF marks.
until three OF them. once worth APP
proximately four to the dollar, may be
purchased for one cent, is tho result
Of two developments. One OF them.
and the most important. is the fact
that the German printing presses are
apparently running wild. and that no
Limitations Of any sort, evidently, have
been put upon the extent TO which the
currency may be inflated. The other IS
the fact that the German gold re-
serve has been drawn down to such
a thin point that il is hardly worth
reckoning, in consideration of the vast
number OF marks in circulation.
