LONDON. ( UP ) One of the oldest
and most valuable copies of the Bible
In the world the 1800-yeara-old Co-
dex Sanaltlcua haa been patched up
and rebound to give It a new lease
of life In another 500 yeara.
The Codex waa bought by the Brlt
lah museum from the Soviet govern
ment two yeara ago for the record
price of $500,000. It waa brought to
London in an old tin box wrapped In
cotton wool, with Ita pagea tnttercd
and crumpled and many of them
loose. After alx months exacting work
It haa been restored to enable It to
withstand the ravages of the next
five centuries.
The Job of mending and binding
the 847 leaves of the Codex was ac
pllahed by one of the foremost book
binders In this country, Douglas
Cockerel, and hla eon, Sydney. Ow
ing to the great age of the manu
script, each page had to be treated
with the most delicate care. The
crumpled vellum leaves were straight
ened and flattened, one by one, In a
special stretching frame, with damp
cloths held within an Inch of the
pagea to give the necessary damp at
mosphere. Weights of one pound each
were attached to a device which gave
an even pull In every direction. At
the same time many of the leaves had
to be washed, patched and sewn to.
gcther.
The first page haa 15 Invisible
patchea, which. It Is said, only
expert could detect. Many other
pages also had to receive a similar
mount of "first aid." The patchea
were made from tiny scraps of vel
lum chosen to match the original
vellum on which the manuscript Is
written.
In addition to the work of patch
ing the aheeta, the whole manuscript
haa now been bound Into two vol
umea with soft-colored polished oak
boards and morocco backa. The Co
dex la officially recorded in the Brit'
lah museum library catalogue as
"British museum additional ms.
43720."
The Sinai Codex, which la believed
to have been written In the fourth
century In Egypt, waa discovered In
May, 1S44, by the German Biblical
scholar, Constantino Tlachendorf, dur-
llng a visit to the monastery of St,
CatcheTlne on Mount Banal. He
found 139 leaves In a waate paper
basket which the monka were about
to consign to the furnace. The II
brarlan told him that two basketfulls
had already been consumed. The
manuscript, after two yeaa of nego
tiation, was eventually given to the
Ruaalan government in 1889, which
paid the monastery about 0.750 as
compensation.

PIERREFONDB, Prance (UP) A
Bonapartlst museum dedicated to
Empress Eugenie will be opened hero
In the spring. As the Pronch empress
also held the title of the Countess of
Pirrefonds, It Das been decided that
this city Is the most suitable place
for the museum.
It haa been stressed that the aim
of the museum Is non -political, his
torical and sentimental. Dr. Francois
Ferrand haa already collected many
objects dealing with the second em
pire, the empress, her friends and her
court.
There are documents dealing with
the story of Dr. Thomas W. Evans of
Philadelphia, the imperial dentist who
saved Empreaa Eugnnle'a life when he
a Minted her In escaping to England
by way of Deauville. Various Amer
ican books, memoirs, and newspaperb
dealing with the Imperial court will
be Included In the museum.
Dr. Ferrand haa a letter written by
Empreaa Eugenie's son, the Prince
Imperial, while studying at Hand
hurst, the British West Point. The
young prince begins the letter simply
with "My dear papa" and proceeds
to tell of his life at the military
academy and of various rumors which
wore current In London during the
early weeks of the Francl-Pruaalan
war.
The museum will Include an exact
copy of the Emperor's dining room
and the silverware, porcelain, china
and glassea which once were part of
the equipment of the last French
emperor and his wife.
LONDON (UP) Britain's readers
are confronted with a literary out
put never equalled before.
Last year 16,110 books were pub
lished In Greet Britain, setting a
new high record for book production
In these l,ies. It Is doubtful, how
ever, whefther anyone succeeded In
ploughing hts way through this
vaat torrent of literature, since at
a conservative estimate. It would
nave entailed reading something like
44 books a day throughout the en
tire year.
Anyhow, those frustrated readers
who set themselves the tssk of get
ting through the entire output could
reflect that the 1936 total of new
books was 108 greater than the pre
vious year's. For some unexplained
reason, however, there was a marked
decrease In the activities of pamph
let writers In the British Isles, ao
that at the end of the year this
nggregate output waa 149 down on
the 1034 total.
Consequently, taking books and
pamphlets together. It seems that
the output of new literature of all
classes registered a net Increase of
43. On the other hand, at least 439
new editions of already published
works helped swell the 1035 literary
stream but eased the task of those
thirsting for strictly new literature.
, Strangely enough, the most Inde
fatigable readers of the year were
the youngsters. At least, -Juvenile
books showed the largest Increase
with 93 more than In 1934. Biography
allowed an tncreaae of 78 and fiction
12. Poetry and drama only Increased
by 29 and fine arta by 24. Religious
books decreased by 95, law by 55.
literature by 43 and medicine by 20.
In the face of this outlay of books
some Britons have been surprised
to learn that In reality this country
Is threatened with a Uteary "fam
ine," although perhaps not ao much
In the immediate future as to ne
cessitate any drastic measures to In
crease the literary flow. According
to expert calculations there haa been
an annual Increase during the past
10 years of about 2 per cent In the
number of books published. The
reading public, however, has in
creased at a rate of 15 per cent per
annum. This Is said to explain the
ever-increasing numbera of new edi
tions of old works published every
year.
AS PLANE TRAVELERS
CHICAGO (UP) Women make
better air travelers than do men, a
survey sponsored by an atrllne com
pany reveals. Drawn up in connec
tion with a ground school for its
stewardesses, the company's aurvey
showed :
Women flying the flrat time re
lax quicker than men.
Women take bad weather calmer
than do men.
Women generally obey Instruc
tions better.
Women are more careful where
they put their clgaret ashes.
Men demand more service and at
tention than women.

When 1000 wooden cases are shipped

that about 5,000 board feet of lumber

approximately sales of 120.00 to the
