" OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1922 ReSJoRtafifeBioic V.=--Curious Bibles In due time the Bible came to be translated into our own language. Before recounting the story of this it is interesting to notice that on the way towards our present standard versions, errors in translation and transcriptions have produced some curious results which have stamped their names upon certain versions. Miles Coverdale's Bible, issued in 1586, is sometimes called the Tre- acle Bible from its translation of Jer, 8:22, "Is there no treacle in Gilead?" It also receives the name of the Bug Bible from its curious rendering of Psalm 91 :5,--'"afrald of bugs by night" instead of "terror." Among other quaint readings it con. tains are:--Josh, 2:11, "our heart had fayled us, neither is there good stomacke in any manne" and Judg. 9:53, "Cast a pece of mylestone upon Abimelech's head and break his brainpanne."" The Geneva version has been cal- led the Breeches Bible because it has 'breeches' for 'aprons' in Gen, 3:7; or the Whig Bible, because one edi: tion has in Matt, 5:9 'Blessed are the place makers" for "peacemak- ers,' Among others that may be men- tioned are the Printers' Bible which has in Psalm 119:161 "Printers have persecuted me without a cause" in- stead of "princes;' the Vinegar Bible which has "the parable of the vine- gar" instead of "the parable of the vineyard;" the Murderers' Bible which has "murderers" for "murmur- ers" in Jude; the Discharge Bible, in which 1 Tim. 5:21 reads *'I discharge thee before God," and the Wicked Bible, in which "not" is omitted from the seventh commandment, For this last mistake the printer was fined £300, The edition was speedily call- ed in, and but one copy is now known to exist. The same error is said to have occured in a German Bible pub. lished in 1731, In view of the multitude of copy- ists, printers, etc, who have been transmitting the Scriptures over such a lengthy period, the wonder is that there have been so few changes rather than so many, as anyone can convince himself by making a simple test of copying, Two "chain" post cards were recently received by the writer about three months apart; but they had been so transformed by frequent copying that the same ori: ginal parentage could scarcely be recognized, One read:--"A Nationdl League is being formed against the cigarette habit, The League will cover the entire country, Every woman is asked to sign a name with petitions prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to minors, Write four (4) cards like this to your women friends, Do SHOULD GET FULL DATA RE SYSTEM R. R. Hall, K.C., Discusses Proposal to Purchase Cen- tral Ontario System Editor, The Reformer: -- Upon the suggestion of Sir Adam Beck, sixty-four municipalities in Cen- tral Ontario are being asked to form a partnership to take over the assets and assume the liabilities of the On- tario Government in connection with the Central Ontario Power System. Re- presentatives of some of these muni: cipalities recently met at Port Hope, and it appears that several of them were ready to adopt the policy of "shut your eyes, open your mouth and swal- low 8ir Adam's Hydro and you will all enjoy the electric charge the same as Western Ontario." It becomes import: not fail or the chain will be brok and the object defeated. Please be prompt." The reading of the other was:-- 'A National League is being formed against the cigarette habit, Every woman is being asked to send her name to be used in a mammoth peti- tion to Congress asking for a nation- al Law to prohibit the sale of cigar- ettes to minors. Write four cards like this to as many friends so that this chain may not be broken. No money is requested, Please be prompt." The differences between the two copies are at once manifest, Prob- ably both differ materially from the original. The present writer thought he was copying both cards carefully, but found that on his first transerip- tion he had written in the former, "Every woman is being asked," cor- responding to the phraseology of the second, Though we have no such wide variety in the work of the Biblical scribes, yet the above in- stance may serve to give an exagger- ated idea of the situation affecting the various readings in our Bibles.

The 14th annual report of the Hydro Com- mission at page 172 gives a slight hint of how the scheme will start but not how it will finish.

What share of this $10,000,000 lia- bility is going to be assumed by Osh- awa Bowmanville, Port Hope, Lind- say, Cobourg, Belleville, Napanee and by Kingston? What benefit will each receive for the risk she takes?. What partners will stand the loss of the capital invested in transmission lines to villages that can develop all the electric power they want by a gasoline engine at one third of the cost and a small fraction of the investment and withdraw from the partnership? Sir Adam Beck can truly say "look what I have done for Western Om- tario," The capital cost per horse power to the following cities and towns on the 81st of October, 1921, stood as follows:--Niagara Falls, $9.64; Welland, $44.89; Hamilton, $37, 16; Toronto, 53.89; Brantford, $61.51; Kitchener, , $67. 21; Galt, $77.08; Chat.' ham, $111.81; and Windsor, $151. 73. But what effect will the costly de- velopment at Chippawa have on future power rates in Western Ontario? Everything is not plain sailing in Western Ontario, Witness the Eug- enia system, Lucknow has a capital cost. per horse power of $1142.19 and Kincardine has a capital cost per horse power of $1461.91, Other sources of power are available and much cheaper for the ordinary village, ham- let or farming community. What will happen when they learn this by costly experience? The proposed partners in Central Ontario should insist upon receiving full detailed information. Who is to operate the pulp mill which lost last te nw ew should be made and all the facts sub- mitted to each municipality in Central Ontario before this immense lability is assumed by them, and a partnership is formed that will end in a costly and unseemly scramble.
