The First English Bible
The first complete Bible printed in
English was Issued In 1535 without
any publishers name on IL It was
the work of Miles Coverdale who
incorporated with revisions Tyndales
books of the New Testament of the
Pentateuch and of Jonah and for the
rest translated from German and
Lathi versions It was thus only
partly original and in that part just a
translation of a translation No per
fect copy of this Bible is known to ex
ist
Coverdales Bible is called both the
treacle Bible and the bug Bible
from two curious renderings The
passage in Jeremiah which we now
read Is fhere no balm In Gilead is
rendered Is there no more treacle In
Galahad And in the Psalms Thou
shalt not be afraid of the terrors by
night reads Thou shalt not nede

I do hate sums Mrs La Touche
confesses to a friend There is no
greater mistake than to call arithmetic
an exact science There are permuta
tions and aberrations discernible to
minds entirely noble like mine subtle
variations which ordinary accountants
fail to discern hidden laws of num
bers which it requires a mind like mine
to perceive
For instance if you add a sum
from the bottom up and then again
from the top down the result is al
ways different

An experimenter with the Mexican

Insects revolving vessels on whose
highly polished coucuve surface of

hues play There are elaborate sweet

A medical experimenter in Kentucky
soon after taking a large dose of hash

all fatigue seemed banished forever
and his mind ran riot one bizarre idea
after another rapidly passing through
his mind Later his brain appeared
to split in two parts one of which
urged him to the performance of comic
restures while the other as insistent

While waiting for a doctor he experi

periods when all connections between
himself and the outside world seemed
Jo be severed when a chaos of disjoint
ed ideas aud wild reveries obsessed
him The duration of these latter
periods was never longer than two
minutes but each seemed an eternity
It appeared a hopeless task to follow
the minute hand of his watch during
its infinite round long before the sixty
seconds had elapsed he gave up the
stupendous task in deep despair The

MAKING GOLD LEAF
The Metal Is Beaten For Hours by
Men Then Finished by Girls
In one of the downtown business
streets may be seen sticking from one
of the upper windows a massive arm
and hand the hand grasping a huge
hammer aud the whole sign gilded It
is the sign of the gold beaters estab
lishment where thousands of the gold
sheets are turned out after having

been packed by girls
Gold leaf is packed more by the aid
of the breath than by the hands The
operation of transferring a sheet of I
almost transparent gold leaf from one
place to another is so delicate that it
is possible to do it only by a light
puff of the breath It takes most girls
six weeks to acquire this knack and
some girls are never able to acquire it
The gold reaches the beaters Grst
in wide bars or nussets and has to be
weighed melted and made Into inch
wide ribbons before anything else is
done The ribbon is then cut into inch
squares and beaten with a hammer
wielded by a man When each leaf
has been beaten thin it is transferred
to a mold where it is beaten four
hours more The beating is done with
a wooden hammer weighing from
seven to eighteen pounds on a sheep
skin cushion which rests on a granite
block The gold used for beating is
usually 22 or 23 carats fine A little
alloy of copper or silver is added to
make it spread It would be impos
sible the beaters say to handle per
fectly pure gold
After the gold has been beaten it
is handed over to the girls who lift
the unshaped leaf from the mold with
a pair of wooden pinchers flatten it out
on a sheepskin cushion by gently blow
ing on it cut It to a perfect square
replace it between the leaves of the
book and flatten it out with the breath
There are twenty five leaves in a
book and a skilled girl can pack sev
enty books in a day for which she
gets from 2 to 3 cents a book New
