PEOPLE ASKED TO BEWARE
OF CARBON MONOXIDE GAS

Many hundreds of American citizens
have been the victims of carbon
monoxide, a colorless, tasteless gas
that produces strange type of suffo-
cation.
Its dangers lie in the smallness of
the quantity which can produce deadly
effects, the fact that it is so hard to
detect, and that it overcomes so
quicklyly.
Exhaust from motor cars is its COM
monest source. Only small percent
of carbon monoxide in the cab of
trucks and enclosed passenger cars is
deadly. But it occurs also in our
homes and other buildings where coal,
coke, gas, and oil are used in imperfect
heating equipment. Gas water heat
ers, portable kerosene or gasoline heat
ers or stoves may produce carbon
monoxide if out Of adjustment. Nor
mally, safe heating equipment liber-
ates carbon monoxide through the
chimney or fue, but if these are al
lowed to become clogged or a damper
is used to completely block its escape,
the deadly gas will escape in the room.
This is especially true of freshly-fueled
or banked fires.
The first symptoms of poisoning are
headache, weakness and dizziness
followed by reddening of the skin, a
dimming of eyesight and feeling of
nausea. Breathing becomes labored
and the heart becomes irregular or
skips beats and the victim collapses
into Inconsistencies.
Unless fresh air is supplied at once,
breathing and heart action ceases and
death results. The dizziness and weak
ness often come so quickly and make
the victim so helpless that even though
he realizes his peril, he is unable to
get into fresh air. Remember that
oxygen from the fresh air is the cure
for carbon monoxide poisoning. Arti-
fetal respiration should be applied at
once to victims.
Watch your homes, garages and cars
for possible carbon monoxide hazards.
Make it a point to observe these pre-
cautions:
Keep stoves and furnaces in repair.
Have water heaters connected to
chimneys.
Sleep with windows open.
Never warm up" your car or work
at it in closed garage.
Keep your motor efficient with ex-
hause gaskets, pipes and mufflers in
repair.
Ventilate your car, especially on
long drives.
If you smell exhaust gas in your car
have it checked over and repaired.
although you cannot smell carbon
monoxide, other gases from the ex-
haust may indicate it's presence.)
Never stay in a closed parked car
with the motor running.
If you feel drowsy or your head
aches, in or around cars, suspect car
bon monoxide.
Never work at the back or under
car with the motor running.

The MARYLAND BIBLE SOCTETYS CORNER
''The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever

Tischendorf found number of sheets
of a copy of the Old Testamnet in
Greek, which seemed to him to be one
of the most ancient that he had ever
seen.
The monks gave him about forty of
these sheets, but, realizing from his
interest that they were valuable, re-
fused to let him have more. This frsg-
ment he placed in the Library of the
University of Leipzig on his return to
Saxony. They were later published in
sumptuous edition under the name
of "Codex Frederick Augustus" in
acknowledgement of the patronage of
the King of Saxony.
He returned to Syria in 1858, but
found no traces of the treasures. In
1859 he made third visit to Sinai, this
time under the patronage of the En-
peror of Russia, the acknowledged pro-
tector of the Orthodox Church in the
East. This gave him special entire
to the treasures of the monastery,
but he was about to leave without max
ing his all-important discovery, when
while walking with the steward of the
convent, he was invited to partake of
some refreshments with him in his
cell. Here the steward astonished
Tischendorf by saying, as they re-
sumed the former subject of CONVEX
sation: "And I, too, have read a Sep
tuagint," and so saying he took down
from a shelf in corner of the room
bulky kind of volume wrapped in a
red cloth and laid it before the schol-
ar. To his great joy he recognized not
only the very fragments taken out of
the basket on the occasion of his first
visit, but also other parts of the Old
Testament, the New Testament COM
plete, the Apocryphal Epistle of Bar
nabas and a part of the Pastor of
Hermas.
The prior was at Cairo; but his con-
sent was later obtained to present this
precious codex to the Emperor and
Empress of Russia, as a loan. This
loan was later changed to a gift. The
Sinai Codex remained in the royal Lii
brary, unframed by the ravages of
the revolution. In 1885 it was pur-
chased from the Russian Government
by public subscriptions, the price be-
ing 100000 pounds, of which the Brit
ish Government furnished one half.

The Sinai COdex

On the east wall of the office of the
Executive Secretary at the Bible House
is picture of a part of the garden
in the Monastery of st. Catherine, on
Mount Sinai. A table is spread and
at its head, as guest of honor, sits DR..
John Franklin Goucher, founder and
first President of Goucher College,
Around him are several Arab sheiks,
a guide, and some Greek Catholic
monks belonging to the monastery.
This monastery held compelling in
terest for President Goucher, as it
has for all scholars because of its loca-
ton at the Mount of the Law, and also
because it was for so many years the
repository of what has been called
"the most impressive Book of the
world"-the Sinai Codex.
There were no printing presses in
early Christian centuries, and when
the Emperor Constantine in the year
331 wanted fifty copies of the Holy
Scriptures to give to some of the chief
churches, they had to be made for him
laboriously by hand. They were copied
by scribes attached to the great Chris
tian Library at Caesarea in Palestine
where Eusibius was Bishop.
Constantine Tischendorf, born in
1915, and educated at the University of
Leipzig, began as an undergraduate to
take special interest in the problem
of the New Testament text. He sus-
pected that the scribes, however care
fully had carried on their work, had
inadvertently introduced variations,
whether in Greek, Latin, or other Ian
guages, which through the centuries
caused many passages to undergo SER
ious notifications of meaning. 1t be-
came his ambition to reconstruct the
exact text as it came from the hands
of the sacred writers. In his search
for the most ancient manuscripts he
visited France, England, Italy, Egypt,
Palestine and Syria.
In 1874, while at the convent of st.
Catherine at the foot of Mt. Sinai, he
came upon his greatest discovery.
Here in the middle of the great hall of
the Library, he observed large and
wide basket full of old parchments
which the monks, wholly ignorant of
their value, intended to use for light
ing fires. Among these parchments
