BIBLE FOR CHINA
New Translation Has Been the
Work of Many Years.
8aid to Bo the First Ever Put Into
the National Language of the Race,
and Almost Perfect Literary
Production.
After continuous lAbor e \ t ending
over wore than a quarter of a century
hy CIU(!(Mo and foreign scholurs, the
uiinouncemcnt Is made a new iruusja
Hon of the lilble has been completed
tot the ChineM- people. The publico
dun *?f thin 1 ranshition at nn Oai'lj
date, under the tltlo of the "Ke\i-?.i
Mandarin Bible," is announced by the
American Bible society. The cnniple
tlon of the work will, It Is stated,
place this particular vorshin litt the
hands of more Individuals than "were
ever reached by any other translation.
There have been Bibles in China for
many years, of course, millions of
them, but the forthcoming issue will
be the first translated into the national
language of the Chinese, . an?l it is
claimed that It will be the most nearly
perfect literary production in {lie
Chinese republic.
' It will be Interesting to many ob
servers the world over to take care
ful note in the years to come or the
effect of this translation upon the
masses of the people of China.' I'Touk
the p'Jnt of view of the Western
world,- ?*hina Is not rich in literature.
This estimate Is not disputed by maii.\
of the Chinese educated in America,
and Kuroponn colleges, Confucius,
when he (Milted whitt the Chinese tie
nominate the saereil canons, in the
sixth century before the Christian ?*r?i .
prescribed t lie model of Chinese liter
ary form, and reached. in the 'beiiel
of it is followers, the pinnacle; of phtt
osoplde wisdom.- .These classics, iu
eluding thf works edited and aetmillx
written by those who called them
selves his disciples, possibly- excel, in
literary jue^lt at least, the works of
any other ancient civilization, and it
Is . i rite that iio other written word*
have for so ma-n\ centuries molde*1
the cliaracter, culture, morals and gov
ernment of so grout a nation. The
veneration given throughout the cen
turies to the wisdom of Confucius hfis,
because of the constant study of h's
philosophy, preserved tho language al
most unchanged for thirty centuries,
and set a permanent standard in the
nation's literature. In one of the
books of this great series, that known
as ti?e "Anrtleets" <*f Confucius, in
which his views and maxims are re
tailed by Ids disciples, there are given
what purport to be accounts of the
habit* and records or the teachings of
the jcreat Chinese moralist, in It there
IS T<Vfind the "sage's text on altruism,*
culled the golden rule in its Chinese
form, which, translated, reads: "What
you would not others should tlo unto
you. do not unto them." ? Christian

The Longest Tunnel.
The longest and largest tunnel In
the world will probably soon be built
under the Hudson river to connect
New' York with New Jersey. There
are severn I tunnels large enough -for j
a railroad train but the now tube tin- <
dor the river is to be large enough to |
allow two or three large teams or au
tomobiles to run abreast. The tunnel
will be much more than a mile in
length and thirty feel or more (n
diameter. If is estimated that <>,04(1
vehicles can 'pass In both directions
every hour In such a tunnel, which is
more than twice as many as pax* up
11 ml down Fifth avenue, probably ihe
busiest street today in the world. The
great |fPt>blem of the tunnel is to pro
vide ventilation, since the tube will be

RACIAL VIGOR WILL RETURN j
English Writer of Opinion That Matter
May Safely Be Left to Mother
Nature.
Many writers have laid stress Upon
the fact that Europe, in loslpg the
flower of its youth -upon the battle
field, has ltffi only the least (It uml
most unhealthy to become the progeni
tors of future races. Ami they cite
the effect of the Napoleonic wars on
the phystque ami stamina of the
French.
In answer to these., pessijulsts the
scientific editor of Hip Illustrated Lon
don News writes:
".Vga-lnst this It may lx? urged that
the recuperative power of nature soon
reasserts Itself, and no one who hits !
watched year by year up to 1014 (as ;
did the present writer) the yearly re
views on July .1-1 could doubt that, at
the outbreak of the present war, the
Frenchman had more than recovered
the tall stature and the high muscular
and nervous energy of his forefathers. ?
While,0 therefore, we must expect a j
certain falling ofTlntlie physique of the -
children born between, say. 1014 and
thirty years hence, we may be fairly
I confident that, given the maintenance
of the present^standard of living and
the absence of any great epidemic, at
"the end df that time the Kntrlish race
will return to II* prewar standard of
physical fitness."

Electrification of Seeds.
There appears to be much interest In
the electrification of seeds and the ap
plication of electricity to growing
plants, a recent account of work along
these lines tells of a new method of
aiding plant growth. The seeds, ten
or twenty sack.i, are placed In tanks
provided with Iron electrodes at both
ends: the electrolyte Is m solution of
sodium nitrate or some other fertiliz
er. Particularly with cereals ? wheat,
bnrlev and oats ? the vlebls of both
grain and straw are said to be In
creased. Some five hundred farmers ;
have taken up the treatment of the
seeds, which Is followed by :i very
careful drying In a kiln. The tn-iif

little of their subject until they have
observed a continued chower loaded
to capacity and held by convention
wKere no friendly receptacle invltoa

As a rule tobacco chewers enjoy

whether their physical- well being is
occasioned' by the tobacco or by the
necessity of remaining out of doors.
Smoking Is more nearl.v universal
than chewing. Cigarettes are smoked
by boys, by young men and by women.
One seldom sees a cigarette, in the
mouth of an old man. It may be that
it n old man knows better: or It? may
he that one who smokes cigarette*
doesn't linger here long enough to
become old.
A boy may sauoke cigarettes without
becoming either a bandit or an idiot,
but he can't smoke cigarettes and
make the track team, nor can lie
smoke cigarettes and head "his clfcSS
In mathematics. The harm done by
cigarettes Is frequently overstated.

Until ? -cent years women addicted
to' cigarette* were divided into two
classes? those who had fallen ?<> low
that the opinion, of the majority did
not interest them and those who had
climbed so high that the opinion of
the majority did not interest them.
Today smoking among women is not
confined to n class or com! it ion. Those
who wish' t ?? smoke ^lu so without ap
parent loss of caste. Doubtless ft Is
their right. Yet an old-fashioned man
finds cause to be thankful that the
habit Ik not general among women
who bear children. When 1 observe
a smartly tailored woman drawing sol
aee from a cigarette In. the lobby of
n great hotel I am not conscious of
aversion. But I do hot believe that
I could rise to equal tolerance If I
should observe a sweet-faced woman
In gingham darning holes In children's
?lockings and pausing occasionally for
a deep pall a I a cigarette.
A pipe Is pleasant company for the
one who furnishes the draft, but it
affords little pleasure to the innoeent
bystander. As pity prompts us to
?spouse the cause of one who has
M*n cast ?ut by society, so doe* our
love for a pipe grow as others frown
upon It and snUT their displeasure.
The erring son holds the greater part
of the mother's love; the lost sheep
Is the most desirtble In the flock ; the
worth of a pipe may be measured by
the degree of its disrepute. The pipe
smoker may mislay hla treasure, but
he does not despair of finding It. If
