Transiatinq the Bible.

Our Bible, in virtue of its past"
says Doctor Westcott, "is capable Of
admitting revision, if need be, with
out violating its history. AS it gath
cred into itself, during the hundred
years in which it was forming, the
treasures Of manifold labors, so it still
has the same assimilative power of
life" In other words, in view Of the
history that lies back of the King
James version, it would be absurd to
claim for it finality. AS literary
treasure 1T deserves and will doubtless
hold permanent place among our
English classics. But the Bible is
first of all and above all revelation
of moral and spiritual truth, and in
our study of it we should seek for
that translation which most clearly
and accurately interprets its great
messages. B. Chappell, 1.-THE Story
Of Our Bible"

TOM HIGGINS GREATEST FIGHT
WITH THE INDIANS

Tom Higgins was noted Illinois
ranger during the War Of 1912. One
morning near Fort Hills the Indians
ambushed Toms company and killed
several Of them. AS they fled to the
fort, Higgins stayed behind, yowing
that he would get at least one Indian
before he retreated. He got his In
dian, but just as he was preparing to
mount his horse, Ranger Burgess, who
was lying on the ground wounded
called out to him: "You won't leave
me to the Indians, will you, Tom?"
Higgins stopped and attempted to
lift Burgess onto his horse, but the
frightened animal jerked the reins
from Toms hand ard dashed madly
away.
You'll have to try to crawl to the
fort, Burgess" said Tom, land l will
stay behind and keep redskins Off,"
AS Burgess crawled away, Higgins
ran in another direction to lead the
approaching Indians away from his
wounded comrade. In a few minutes
he was surrounded by the savages and
they wounded him in the leg as he fled
into deep ravine. He was nearing
the fort when three Indians rose up
before him. One Of them fired and
the ranger fell, wounded for the Sec
ond time.
With wild yell the Indians rushed
at him with uplifted tomahawks, but
Higgins rose once more and shot one
Of them dead. The other two then at
tackled him with spears and toma-
hawks. Tom defended himself with
his knife until he was knocked to the
ground by blow from a tomahawk
which cut off one Of his ears.
Finally the ranger tore spear from
the grasp Of one Of the Indians and
thrust it through the body of the 9TH
er. He was pulled to his feet as the
savage fell. The surviving warrior re-
treated toward his rifle and Tom, I'M
daunted by his wounds, staggered aft
err him. The unequal combat had been
seen by the people in the fort, but they
were afraid to come to his assistance
until brave woman, named Mrs.
PursleC, cried out: II will not see
such brave man diet" ".ss*s
She sprang upon a horse and started
to Higgins aid. Slammed by her ex-
ample, several men galloped after her.
They reached the ranger just as q
large party Of Indians were ready to
swoop down upon him. They threw
Higgins, fainting from loss of blood,
across horse and carried him back
to the fort in safety. IT,
Higgins did not recover from his
wounds for many years, but In his old
age he was given a pension for his
heroic act and was made doorkeeper
in the. state assembly at Yandalia.

THE EXPLOIT OF PIONEER
SCOUT ANDREW POE

Andrew and Adam Poe, two broth
ers, were scouts in the pioneer days
of Ohio. One day when the Poe
brothers were leading party on the
trail Of band of Indians who had
raided the settlements, they left their
men to try to locate the savages. The
brothers became separated. On the
bank Of a river Andrew came upon a
giant Wyandot chief and a smaller
Indian who were standing with their
rifles cooked but looking in another
direction.
Poe's rifle missed fire when he shot
at the chief and the Indians at once
discovered him. Before they could
shoot, the scout sprang upon them,
Selling both around the neck. The
small Indian jerked loose first and
while the. chief held Poe, his COM
panion tried to get in a death blow
with his tomahawk. Andrew allowed
him to come close. Then with one
mighty kick he planted his foot in the
Indians stomach, hurting him back.
ward and knocking the Ratchet from
his hand.
When the little Indian got his breath
back and recovered his tomahawk, he
advanced to the attack again and sue
ceeded in wounding Poe in the arm.
A second later the scout pulled him
self from the grasp of the chief, seized
one of the Indians guns and shot the
warrior as he advanced to attack him
third time. Poe was no longer fight
ing against odds and he Immediately
attacked the chief.
The ground was wet and slippery.
In another moment the Indian and the
white man, locked in each others
arms, fell into the water and each be-
gan trying to drown the other. Final
ly Poe seized his enemy by the scalp
lock and held his head under water
until he believed the chief was dead.
When he released his hold, however,
the redsl1in renewed the struggle. By
this time they were fighting in deep
water. Seemingly at the same time
both thought Of the one loaded rifle ON
the shore and both started to swim to
get it. The Indian was the better
swimmer and reached the bank first.
AS the chief picked up the gun, Poe
turned back In the water and began
diving to avoid a bullet. The chief,
however, had picked up an empty gun,
the one with which Andrew had killed
the little Indian, and before the Wyan-
dot could get the loaded weapon,
Adam Poe, who had heard the shot,
came running to his brothers rescue.
He fired and the Indian fell dead.

New Idea for Artificial Ljoht.

A phenomenon the cause of which
has not yet been satisfactorily ex-
planned was discussed during recent
meeting Of scientists in Washington.
Disks Of loaf sugar were mounted on
a lathe and rapidly rotated while a
hammer played lightly against them.
An almost continuous radiation of
light was thus produced from the
sugar. 1t was shown that the light
did not arise from heating Of the
sugar, and it is believed to be caused
BY some change taking place in the
sugar crystals. The act of crystaliza-
ton is known to be sometimes accom-
panied by flashes of light. The. prac-
tic;ll bearing Of these. experiments Is
on the question of the possibility Of
obtaining artificial light by methods
as yet ,untried.'
