THE CLOSE SEASON FOR SEALS

North American Company, whose
catch it will limit to 7.", !) skins;
something near io this will be the

ROMANCE.
The June number of Romance
the New York Story Club's maga
zine. is now read v. Jt contains
seventee i stori s, all interesting,
and all ot rreat merit, there is no
better traveling companion than
Romance, and those who are about
to start on their summer jaunt will
tlo well to leave a place in their
gripsacks for the June number.
1 here are lour original stories 111
the lurie Romance.' K. II. Lewis
writes of a strange buel which took
place in in Vienna several year
ago. Charles Scates contributes ;
Jove storv which is mterestmtr - sis
all such stories must be and very
effectively told. S. II. Behreiul des
cribes a bit of detective work. This
tory was written in German, and
was translated for Romance In' I.
Fust. One phase of life in the coal
regions is the theme which engag
es the pen of Daniel Dane. Besides
these there is a story by the dis
tinguished Spanish hovelist, Don
Pedro A. de Alarcon, dealing with
events in trie L-arlist war. it was
translated for Romance by K. J
Fagundus.
Among the writers in Romance
for June are Maurice Thompson, M
Quad, EdwardS. Van Zile, Margaret
Sutton Briscoe, Ada Cunnick jnch-
bold, Acton Davies and William
Wallace Cook. These are all charm
ing story tellers, and they never ap
peared to better advantage than
they do in the magazine of the New
York Story Club.
The stories in the June Romance
are of'all varieties. The account of
a strange confession of a murder,
the story of a novel duel, the des
cription of a mysterious incident in
the New Orleans of seventy 3ears
ago, two war sketches, a railroad
comedy, a romance of the Rocky
Mountains, a tale of tne Pennsyl
vania coal regions, a ghost stor3
two spirited biographies of heroic
men, a story of the plains, one of
the Carlist war in Spain, a detective
stor3', the account of a remarkable
wedding journey in such an as
sortment as this there is surely
something to interest every reader
of fiction.

The first complete translation of the
Bible into the English tongue was ef
fected by John Wycliffe about 13S0. This
was the Liollards Bible, and a- larj'e
number of manuscript copies must have
been written and circulated, for 170
copies are still in existence. There were
also many transcripts of certain books.
as well as of the whole Bible. Wycliffe
could not go to the original texts, so he
translated from the Vnlirate. or ac
cepted Latin version. It was not a per- C H AS Lt
feet performance; but the reformer was
prevented by death from revising it, as
he doubtless intended to do.
The revision, therefore, was under
taken by John Purvey, and completed
in 1388. It is curious that the whole of
Wycliffe's Bible was not printed as one
book until 1850, when it was published
under the editorial care of the Rev. Jo-
siah Forshall and Sir Frederic Madden.

Protections for Gunners.
Experiments are being made by the
navy department with a new system of
protection for gunners in exposed places
on men-of-war during action. From a
Pennsylvania factory has been procured
a peculiar description of wire webbing
made of interlocking steel spirals which
is remarkably flexible and strong, lt
bears some resemblance to old fashioned
chain armor, and it is proposed to nse
curtains of this material to protect gun
ners behind shields from fragments of
exploding shells. The resisting qualit3T
of the netting is believed to be equal to
solid plate of steel an inch thick. Ex

The Great Orloff Diamond.
The great Orloff diamond which sur

in the world. It once formed the e3'e of
the idol in a temple near Seringham,
