Moffat, Business Secretary of the Boy Scouts of America, who recently made an extended trip to the middle west and the northwest visiting many organizations of scouts, 'has returned to New York enthusias tic over the growth of the Scout movement. It was his first trip of Inspection and he was greatly sur prised at the glimpse ho got of the Scout activities in the 'different parts of tho country. Despite that aston ishment, he is convinced that the scout movement is just beginning to appeal to the boys and that its growin in me nexi year or two win be oven faster than in the last year. The great need, he says, is the em ployment of paid secretaries in each city to guide the scout activities. He says: " I feel I have a larger vision of tho possibilities of tho 'movement, and have returned fully convinced of tho permanency of the Boy Scout movement In this country. "Although this movement has but recently been organized in this coun try, I was deeply impressed with the apparent effect that the Scout laws lire aireaay naving in ine lives oi tUie scouts throughout tho country. Ij have never met a class of boys of more obedient to authority than the hnva whnm T hnvfl mnt nn mv trin. I have had abundant proof of tho fact that a 'Scout's honor Is to bo trusted and that a Scout Is obedient to those to whom obedience is due.' " As a social leveler, I do not know of any institution that is work ing out a better feeling among boys generally than Is the Scout Move ment. I havo been told by those in charge of Institutions for boys, where in the past the authorities have had a great deal of troublo because of race distinctions that these same boys, as scouts, know no class distinc tion, and are brothers in the truest sense of the word. The character of boys of evory class are being moulded by the scout teachings and precepts. I am convinced that the marvelous development of tho move ment In this country during the past year is but the beginning of a definite policy of work for character building, which will increase in efficiency dur ing the coming years if carefully guided by the National and Local or ganizations." CASTOR I A For Infants ana Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of Trains Replace Clock. In Lestershlre there Is a woman who has discarded the. old clock and tells the time of day by tho passing trains. She also bolls eggs between trains and does numerous otnor things. Read what the Lcstershlre- Endlcott Record says concerning her: "This woman is a human time table. Without consulting a chrono meter she always Is ready to tell whether the 'train is the 8:12 local or 9:45 express. In fact, the trains form her clock. She puts an egg on to boll when the 7 o'clock express goes by and takes It off when the 7:03 local comes from the other di rection. One train awakenB her In the morning, Instead of an alarm clock and a friendly freight lulls her to sleep with Its monotonous rum ble." Thomas Has Choice of 500 Women. W. J. Thomas of Grand Tunnel, who recently advertised in the Wllkes-Barre papers for a wife and promised her his homo, bank account and horse and carriage, has received 600 proposals from women In all parts of the country. 'Among the letters were G3 from Sayre, 19 from Athens, 10 from La ceyvllle, 3 from Wysox, 9 from Wyaluaing and also a postcard from Towanda. "I haven't yet had time to read all the letters," said Thomas, "and I haven't made any choice. There aro one or two that struck me right and I am sure that within a few days I will bo able to make a selection and got a wife who -will not only keep me company on the holidays, but Will he a source of much pleasure to mo during the closing days of my life."

Facts From France. Parisian cabmen aro by regulation forbidden to smoke when driving. In Paris white horses aro employcu for the funerals of children or yount: unmarried people. A new league has been founded In France, entitled "Tho League Agnlnal the Lending of Books." The wealth of France, calculated on the basis of the private fortunes of her citizens, is stated to have been in 1908 $57,500,000,000. which represents an increase of $8,800,000,000 in the pre ceding sixteen years. GOSSIP Owner Coleman of Scranton may drop Monte Cross. He couldn't do any worse, that's sure. The International league will open its 1912 season with tho Western clubs, meeting the Eastern on tho latters' grounds. It won't be long now until the players will begin preparing for their Southern training trip. William D. Garcelon, graduate manager and treasurer of Harvard's athletics, has sent a check for ap proximately $10,000 to tho athletic association at the Carlisle Indian school, this sum being the Indians' share of the gate receipts for the football game played against Har vard on November 11. Tho Cantilllons at Minneapolis will build a new concrete grand stand this winter at a cost of $30,000. Cincinnati has organized a high Rchool athletic league and eliminated the fifty yard daBh from tho contests. Tho United Cyclists' association, made up of both blcyclo and motor cycle riders, has been formed in New York. During a discussion of tho catchers of the Athletics Joe McGlnnity said. "With pitchers who know their busi ness as well as Bender. Coombs and I'lank and who watch the bases so closely, the catching end of their game doesn't cut much figure." New York. Magnates of the Na tional league said they would use all their efforts to havo the states in "which National league clubs play pass laws Which will make It a crime to speculate in base ball tickets. This, in effect, Is the only answer to the resolution passed by the American league, which many at first thought presage a war between tho two major leagues. Tho National leaguo magnates at their final meeting Thursday re fused to take any action on the American league resolution. They did, nawever, offer a reward of $100 for the arrest and convic tion of every person guilty of mak ing a pool or bet on a game of base ball. It was asserted that the schedule next year will call for 154 games, beginning April 11 and ending Oct. 6th. All the concessions asked for by the International League, tho Amer ican association and the Pacific Coast league were granted. They will hereafter be known as Class AA. The drafting price for players aPORTINQ was increased to $2,500 per man. GREATEST BIBLE COLLECTION General Theological Seminary of New York Has It, MORE THAN 1,200 SPECIMENS $15,000 Copy of the Gutenberg Bible the Most Interesting and Valuable. Curiosities of Some of the Early Edi tions Dean Hoffman's Gifts. In the General Theological seminary, New York, is to be seen the largest and most complete collection of Bibles In this country, probably in the world. Tho valuable collection originated with John Plntnrd, who started it by purchasing the volumes from his own funds and from funds he collected for the purpose. Ho secured several im portant copies, including one of the fa mous Jay polyglot edition, but tho col lection remained Inadequate in both numbers and importance of the Bibles until 1893, when tho Coplnger collec tion was announced for sale. The late Dean Hoffman then interested the late Cornelius Vnnderbllt, and the two men purehused the collection and presented It to tho seminary. The collection was now the largest In the world in Its number of editions. but still many important Bibles were uot represented. Dean Hoffman under took to make it complete and person ally visited old bookshops in London add o'n tho continent, poring over old folios and following up suggestions from bibliophiles. Ho purchased sev eral valuable editions, among them a copy of the famous Gutenberg Bible of 1450, the first book printed from mov able metal types, for which be paid $10,000. All tho Bibles purchased for tho col lection since 1893 have been the gift of Dean Hoffman, and since his death his son, S. V. Hoffmnn, has continued con tributions to add to it. Tho collection is not confined to Latin Bibles, but in eludes n representative collection of English Bibles, a valuable collection of Greek Testaments, copies of the Biblo in Hebrew. Syrlnc and polyglot and i" most of the modern languages. 1,206 Different Editions. At the last formal enumeration of the collection, though many valuable additions bnve slnco been made, there were 1,200 different editions of Bibles in 2,373 volumes. Of these there were 555 Latin editions In 1,055 volumes, 93 polyglot editions in 527 volumes, 302 editions of the. New Testament, chiefly in Greek; 90 editions of tho Hexapla, Codices, etc. The most interesting and valuable book, of course, Is tho Gutenberg copy, printed nt Mainz, 1450-55, by Johannes Gutenberg. Two copies of; this book were features of the recent Hoe li brary sale, one printed on vellum and one on paper, but the latter is not con sidered equal to tho seminary copy. which is also printed on paper. There is a Bible of 14G2, the first printed Bible with a date, which is both an interesting and a beautiful specimen. It was printed by Fust & Schoeffer of Mainz and is practically a reprint of tho first Bible, for Fust, who was a wealthy goldsmith, had loaned Gutenberg money for his enter prise, and later, when be brought suit to recover his loan, he got possession of Gutenberg's types and presses. In all the early printed Bibles there are no title pages, the printer's im print being affixed at the end, usually immediately following the Apocalypse, All edittlons of tho Vulgate have the prologue of St. Jerome preceeding each book or set of books. In the early printed editions the commentary of Nicolas de. Lyra was Included in tho text of the Bible, the text being print ed in double column in the mlddlo of the page, with tho commentaries ar ranged all around. "Poor Man's Bible." Ao is known the art of printing quickly spread from Mainz through Germany to Switzerland, Franco and Italy, aud before the end of tho fif teenth century there were no fewer than 124 editions of Bibles in Latin alone. A1J the earliest were printed 111 Gothic letter In folio size, but in 1191 there was published at Basel an oc tavo edition known ns the "Poor Man's Biblo." Tho copy of this closely print ed little book to be seen at the semi nary is most interesting, for, though it looks squeezed up in its effort to bo compact and of smaller cost, so ns to bo within common reach, it had to be illuminated after some fashion, fol lowing the custom of tho day. So all tho capital letters are marked through with a lino of red, put In by hand aft er the printing, Many of the specimens have beauti fully Illuminated initial letters and marginal decorations. One interesting copy, which has been acquired rather recently, shows on close examination that the original initial decoration on .he first page has been cut out and a. mbstltute carefully inserted, employ Jig common gilt instead of gold leaf. iThat the motive could have been' Is not clear, ns tho theft of the gold leaf would have brought but a trifle. Tho Interesting point is that in the numer ous descriptions that havo been made of the book, dated 1590, no mention has over been made of this substitu tion, which was first brought to light after it came into possession of ftp seminary. Other specimens have beautiful typo and paper, others quaint woodcuts. DAMES AND DAUGHTERS. Airs. Belinda A. Carbonncau has made a fortune as u gold miner in the Klon dike.
