NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Mrs

were floating on large swells.

SOME BIBLE FACTS

Dr. Thomas Horne, an English Bible
scholar and critic who died in 1862, de-
voted several years to compiling interest
ing facts about the Bible, among them be-
ing the following:
The Bible is composed of &c books
containing 1,189 chapters, 41,173 verses,
774,746 words and 3,566,480 letters. The
shortest verse is John IL :35 and contains
only the two words, Jesus wept." The
longest verse is Esther SO.
The word Lord occurs 1858 times;
Jehovah 5,845 times; the word girl
only twice; everlasting fire" is found
twice; while the word everlasting punish
ment," eternity" and reverend occur
only once each.
Several verses are duplicated, thus
four verses of the 10th Psalm are iden-
teal, and the 36th chapter of Isaiah and
the 10Th chapter of II Kings are exactly
alike.
No original manuscript of any portion
of the Bible is in existence. The oldest
manuscript known, fragment of the 18th
chapter of the Psalms, thought to have
been written in the third century, is pre-
served in the British Museum. The Bible
as we know it has come down to us
through many translations, the first COM
plete English translation having been
made by John Wycliffe, who died in 1884,
and his fellow workers, Nicholas and Pur-
vey. 10. .ar .fH
William Tyndale was the first to
print the Bible in English, beginning in
1925. He printed all of the New Tesla
ment and a small portion of the Old, but
his translation came under displeasure of
the ecclesiastical authorities. After Is
months Imprisonment he was tried and
burned at the stake for heresy on October

u. S. ARCHIVES BUILDING

In the new Archives Building in
Washington, built at a cost of IL million
dollars, the United States has a repository
for its historic and other valuable docu-
ments and records which is unequalled in
the world.
In ventilated steel drawers and vaults
the record of the nations history and prog
ress will be preserved for future genera
tions Not only written documents, but
sound motion picture films of important
events also, will be kept for centuries to
come. 1t is proposed to enclose many
priceless records and documents in cello
phane, so they may be read without being
touched by human hands.
Most interesting to people of the
future will be the motion pictures, where
by they may see and hear what has gone
on in the world in the past. Think what it
would mean to US if we could see films
showing the great events of history and
hear the voices of the dominant figures
that participated in them!

the theater of most of the plum
raiding operations of the Florida
Keys prior to 1900. The outlying
Keys and particularly the Key in
Cuthbert Lake were rich rock
cries used by the egret and ibis
as nesting places. Many bitter
and bloody wars were fought by
rival factions over the raiding
rights of the rookery in Cuthbert
Lake. Even after these opera
lions were declared illegal they
continued and the aigretteS were
shipped to the northern market
in coon skins. AS a consequence
of these activities few of the birds
are found in the area at the pres
ent time.
