Concerning the Bible Most persons think that the Bible was first written exactly as It appears today. Hut such Is not the case. It was originally one continuous piece of lext, with no divisions of ?uy kind?- 1 no sections, no chapters, no verses, no divisions of words even, or punctu ation. Its division Into lines to suit the sense was done by Kuthallus of Alexandria In the last half of the Fifth century. Its division into chapters is ascribed to two archbishops, Lanfranc, In the Kleventh century, and Langten, In the Thirteenth cent ury, and a Cftrdl nal, Hugo de Sancto Ca*o. about 1250. Itabhl Nathan began the division of the Blhle Into sections about 1445, and another Hebrew, Athras, completed tlie Work in 1661. An English printer, Robert Stephens, Introduced the pres ent division Into verses In 1551. ' I * .

Soared Canqn of Egyptians The Hermetic books was the name given to the sacred canon of the an cient Egyptians, consisting of 42 books, divided Into six sections. They derive their name from their reputed author, Hermes Trismegisttus, and are an encyclopedia of theology, religion, arts and sciences. Their authorship and time of pro duction are alike unknown, but they are supposed to have been written^ by Egyptian Neo-Platonists in tli? Fourth century after Christ. Jamblichus gives their number as 20.000 and Manetho as 36,f?2.r). Accord ing to some of the ancients, Pytfiago ras and Plato derived all their knowl edge from these "Hermetic books," the Detroit News states. Elephants Increasing Laws to protect elephants in Africa have apparently begun to accomplish their purpose, for' the' animals are again increasing In numbers.
