PARIS, SUNDAY, DEC. 29, 1935
The English Bible.
Although Tyndale began in 1825 to
print portions of his scholarly transla
tions of the Bible, from the original
Hebrew and Greek, in various Conti
nental cities, the first English version
of the whole Bible to appear in print
was that of John Coverdale. This is
known to have been completed some
where in a German-speaking country
(perhaps in Zurich) on October 4,1535.
That was four hundred years ago, and
a series of services in commemoration
of this achievement, under staggering
difficulties, closed in New York City
with the celebration of “Bible Day” in
Protestant churches of all denomina
tions.
Governor Lehman took advantage of
the occasion to point out in a proclama
tion the tremendous influence the
English Bible has had upon the deve
lopment of the institutions of the New
World. This cannot be exaggerated. It
began, of course, some centuries before
America was discovered, and before
there was a printed Bible. The appear
ance, early in the fourteenth century,
of portions of the Bible in English and
of impassioned appeals to “Goddes
lawe” against every political and econo
mic evil of the age, as well as against
purely ritualistic Christianity, coincided
with the first stirrings of that tre
mendous resurgence of Anglo-Saxonism
which pushed the Norman-French lan
guage into desuetude, made the yeo
man archer the most dangerous man
on Europe’s battlefields and therefore
a political factor at home.
The same movement freed the serfs
and with this manpower established the
textile industry and Britain’s export
trade (whence her navy); brought forth
Chaucer and “Long Willy” Langland,
whose revolutionary “Piers Plowman”
was England’s best seller for forty years;
and made the spirit of the Robin Hood
ballads the national Zeitgeist. It was
at the peak of this exuberant Anglo-
Saxon revival that John Wycliffe and
his friends finished, in 1382, the first
complete manuscript translation of the
Bible in English. From this text the
Lollards preached religious, economic
and political reform to our English an
cestors, high and low, until Coverdale
and Tyndale supplied abundant printed
inspiration for that interpretation of
“Goddes lawe” which coincided with
the Elizabethan period of literary efful
gence and commercial expansion.
No one needs to be told the enorm
ous influence that the Scriptures had
on the political and social institutions
in New England’s Puritan theocracies.
No human act, however simple, that
was not specifically authorized by
“Goddes lawe,” could be anything but
sinful. The hundreds of thousands of
Scotch-Irish immigrants who were
America’s most fearless and efficient
frontiersmen before the Revolution, set
up little republics in every forest clear
ing; but if a community had no domi
nie with it, its first concern was to
import one, and the social doctrines
which he expounded from his Bible
on a stump were the law of the wilder
ness.
It may have been a grim and relent
less law, being Christianity according
to Amos and Nehemiah rather than ac
cording to the Apostles, because it ac
corded better with the fierce Anglo-
Saxonism of the communicants. Yet
there is no getting away from the fact
that on it as a foundation were built
our institutions. So, whether one now
likes them or not, no one can read
American history and withhold from
the English Bible due credit for con
firming us in. our distinctively Amer
ican ways.
MUSIC NOTE.
Miss Ruth Slenczynski, 10-year-old
musical prodigy, of Sacramento, Cal.,
is returning to America on the Wash
ington tomorrow accompanied by her
father, Mr. Joseph Slenczynski. She
has been making a lengthy stay in
Paris according to the usual custom
of her family to make their head
quarters here during Ruth’s European
concert tour. The little pianist made
her American debut in Town Hall, New
York, two years ago and her ability
has caused her to be considered com
parable to Yehudi Menuhin.

Carnegie Exhibition Shows How Explorers Have Reached
Ocean Depths and What They Have Discovered,
By JOHN J. O’NEILL
Scientists are always reaching out
for something beyond their grasp and
usually are successful in stretching
their instrumental anus far enough
to get what they seek. The evidence
that they are reaching their goals is
presented effectively at the annual
exhibition of the Carnegie Institution
of Washington that opened recently at
Washington.
The exhibits showed how scientists
are extending their reach into, space
with bigger and better astronomical
instruments; how they are trying to
reach into the central mystery of life
through genetical research; how they
are trying to reach back into time
through archeological research, and
how they are trying to explore the
bottom of the ocean.

Les Baux, Dec. 28.
To the Editor, European Edition :—
Perhaps we are too far out in the
sticks—or the rocks if you know this
place—but in any event we don’t seem
able to keep up with American slang.
We are somewhat upset by the head
ing in your paper of December 26. “End
of ‘Boondoggling,’ Tax Revision Urged.”
There is nothing in the article to in
dicate exactly what this weird word
means, although the vague hint has
been enough to start a lively argument.
We are agreed, however, that a Eu
ropean must be hopelessly mystified by
such a word if we, as Americans, can
find no clew.
Who can help?

Harsh Words from Rome.
Rome, Dec. 20.
To the Editor, European Edition :—
The present European political situa
tion finds me, like many others, in an
unhappy situation, my loyalties di
vided, because I am half British, half
Italian. In these circumstances I
found the newspapers both from Lon
don and Italy too prejudiced and I
turned some months ago to reading
the New York Herald Tribune (Paris
Edition) in search of that calm neu-
Les Salons & la Ville
trality decreed by the government of
the United States. I cannot say that
I have found calmness, neutrality or
even fair judgment in your columns.
I have laughed heartily at times, as
for instance when your correspondent
M. Bunau-Varilla wrote that Abys
sinia had only entered the League “by
book and by crook.” he omitted, how
ever, to state who were Abyssinia’s
sponsors, in other words who was
“crook” and which was “hook.”
Applications Usually Result.
Every time the scientist extends the
j reach of his instruments, he opens up
j a bonanza of knowledge and usually
j only a short time elapses before there
j is some practical application of the
i information secured.
Exploration of the ocean bottom is
! one of the problems which has taxed
| the ingenuity of scientists. They have
j sent down drags which scoop up loose
lying material on the ocean’s floor,
but these do not work satisfactorily
at great depths. They have sent down
sound waves whose echoes tell them
of the depths and contours of the bot
tom, the location of marine mountain
ranges and valleys. They would like
to get samples of the consolidated de
posits that comprise the ocean floor.
But it is difficult to operate drilling-
apparatus, such as is used on the sur
face for getting cores of soil or rock at
depths of several miles.
A device has been invented for
getting such drill core samples of the
ocean floor up to ten feet in length.
A core of that thickness will cover
an enormous period of time in ocean
deposits. Each such core taken will
be a page in the history of the ocean
and a record of present conditions.
Submarine Gun Used.
The apparatus that secures these
cores is a submarine gun. It punches
holes in the bottom of the ocean and
brings the content of the holes to
when it is seated it may be discharged
electrically from the ship. It has an
explosion chamber just like an ordi-
nary piece of artillery. Instead of j
ejecting an explosive shell it ejects;
a sealed hollow cylinder of metal
which is forced by the explosion into'
the bottom sediments to a depth of
ten feet. When the cylinder is with
drawn it takes with it the inclosed
cylindrical section of the sediment j
These sample cores are removed on j
the ship and sealed for future ex-
amination.
The sampling cylinder is sealed at
the bottom with a rupture disk that
is strong enough to withstand the
pressure of the water, but breaks when
the pressure of the explosion is exerted, i
The gun is charged with varying
amounts of explosives, the amount
depending upon the hydrostatic pres
sure, which increases with the depth
and the resistance of the ocean floor
sediments.

Deep Canyons Only in Ocean.
The apparatus was designed pri
marily to get cores from the great
ocean deeps, long and narrow canyons
that appear to be enormous cracks in
the earth, and some of which are six
miles deep. Canyons such as these
do not exist on the parts of the earth
not covered by water. Most of them
are close to coast lines bordered by
high mountain ranges. Their location
suggests that when the mountain
ranges were pushed up the floor of
the ocean was pulled apart in these
places. Some surface deposits have
been scooped from these depths. One j
of the unusual things about them is j
that they contain a relatively large
amount of radium, several times that
of the more shallow ocean floor de
posits.
Cores shown at the exhibition were
taken in tests made by the ship At- j
lantis of the Woods Hole Oceano
graphic Institution during a study of
the canyons of the continental shelf
last August. The work is being car
ried on in conjunction with the Geo
logical Society of America, with the
assitance of the Du Pont Powder Com
pany and the United States Lighthouse
Service.

To the Editor, European Edition :—
As a French reader of your paper,
especially the Mailbag, may I ask some
of your friends to give me information
about the Anglo-American war of the
beginning of the nineteenth century.
As a matter of fact, the French boys
so busy in studying the Napoleonic
wars, find no information at all in the
“Histoires de France” distributed
throughout France on this subject.
May I ask someone to give informa
tion, such as the causes of this war,
the battles fought, the treaty which
ended it.
May I say, in finishing, that it is
not of course as pro-British or pro-
American, that I beg this information,
but simply in order to learn?

By request:—
The lord was good to Janice Crane,
He gave her sense of humor.
He gave her looks, he gave her brain.
What else now could he give her?

Marquis de Fraysseix, Comte Alain de
Vibraye, M. Claude Farrere, of the
French Academy and other notables.
The club will meet the first Thurs
day of every month at 20 Avenue
George V. The first dinner will be
held December 31. There are reserva
tions only for 150 persons, the price
of the dinner being fixed at 90fr.,

PARIS, SUNDAY, DEC. 29, 1935
The English Bible.
Although Tyndale began in 1825 to
print portions of his scholarly transla
tions of the Bible, from the original
Hebrew and Greek, in various Conti
nental cities, the first English version
of the whole Bible to appear in print
was that of John Coverdale. This is
known to have been completed some
where in a German-speaking country
(perhaps in Zurich) on October 4,1535.
That was four hundred years ago, and
a series of services in commemoration
of this achievement, under staggering
difficulties, closed in New York City
with the celebration of “Bible Day” in
Protestant churches of all denomina
tions.
Governor Lehman took advantage of
the occasion to point out in a proclama
tion the tremendous influence the
English Bible has had upon the deve
lopment of the institutions of the New
World. This cannot be exaggerated. It
began, of course, some centuries before
America was discovered, and before
there was a printed Bible. The appear
ance, early in the fourteenth century,
of portions of the Bible in English and
of impassioned appeals to “Goddes
lawe” against every political and econo
mic evil of the age, as well as against
purely ritualistic Christianity, coincided
with the first stirrings of that tre
mendous resurgence of Anglo-Saxonism
which pushed the Norman-French lan
guage into desuetude, made the yeo
man archer the most dangerous man
on Europe’s battlefields and therefore
a political factor at home.
The same movement freed the serfs
and with this manpower established the
textile industry and Britain’s export
trade (whence her navy); brought forth
Chaucer and “Long Willy” Langland,
whose revolutionary “Piers Plowman”
was England’s best seller for forty years;
and made the spirit of the Robin Hood
ballads the national Zeitgeist. It was
at the peak of this exuberant Anglo-
Saxon revival that John Wycliffe and
his friends finished, in 1382, the first
complete manuscript translation of the
Bible in English. From this text the
Lollards preached religious, economic
and political reform to our English an
cestors, high and low, until Coverdale
and Tyndale supplied abundant printed
inspiration for that interpretation of
“Goddes lawe” which coincided with
the Elizabethan period of literary efful
gence and commercial expansion.
No one needs to be told the enorm
ous influence that the Scriptures had
on the political and social institutions
in New England’s Puritan theocracies.
No human act, however simple, that
was not specifically authorized by
“Goddes lawe,” could be anything but
sinful. The hundreds of thousands of
Scotch-Irish immigrants who were
America’s most fearless and efficient
frontiersmen before the Revolution, set
up little republics in every forest clear
ing; but if a community had no domi
nie with it, its first concern was to
import one, and the social doctrines
which he expounded from his Bible
on a stump were the law of the wilder
ness.
It may have been a grim and relent
less law, being Christianity according
to Amos and Nehemiah rather than ac
cording to the Apostles, because it ac
corded better with the fierce Anglo-
Saxonism of the communicants. Yet
there is no getting away from the fact
that on it as a foundation were built
our institutions. So, whether one now
likes them or not, no one can read
American history and withhold from
the English Bible due credit for con
firming us in. our distinctively Amer
ican ways.
MUSIC NOTE.
Miss Ruth Slenczynski, 10-year-old
musical prodigy, of Sacramento, Cal.,
is returning to America on the Wash
ington tomorrow accompanied by her
father, Mr. Joseph Slenczynski. She
has been making a lengthy stay in
Paris according to the usual custom
of her family to make their head
quarters here during Ruth’s European
concert tour. The little pianist made
her American debut in Town Hall, New
York, two years ago and her ability
has caused her to be considered com
parable to Yehudi Menuhin.

Carnegie Exhibition Shows How Explorers Have Reached
Ocean Depths and What They Have Discovered,
By JOHN J. O’NEILL
Scientists are always reaching out
for something beyond their grasp and
usually are successful in stretching
their instrumental anus far enough
to get what they seek. The evidence
that they are reaching their goals is
presented effectively at the annual
exhibition of the Carnegie Institution
of Washington that opened recently at
Washington.
The exhibits showed how scientists
are extending their reach into, space
with bigger and better astronomical
instruments; how they are trying to
reach into the central mystery of life
through genetical research; how they
are trying to reach back into time
through archeological research, and
how they are trying to explore the
bottom of the ocean.

To the Editor, European Edition :—
Perhaps we are too far out in the
sticks—or the rocks if you know this
place—but in any event we don’t seem
able to keep up with American slang.
We are somewhat upset by the head
ing in your paper of December 26. “End
of ‘Boondoggling,’ Tax Revision Urged.”
There is nothing in the article to in
dicate exactly what this weird word
means, although the vague hint has
been enough to start a lively argument.
We are agreed, however, that a Eu
ropean must be hopelessly mystified by
such a word if we, as Americans, can
find no clew.
Who can help?

Harsh Words from Rome.
Rome, Dec. 20.
To the Editor, European Edition :—
The present European political situa
tion finds me, like many others, in an
unhappy situation, my loyalties di
vided, because I am half British, half
Italian. In these circumstances I
found the newspapers both from Lon
don and Italy too prejudiced and I
turned some months ago to reading
the New York Herald Tribune (Paris
Edition) in search of that calm neu-
Les Salons & la Ville
trality decreed by the government of
the United States. I cannot say that
I have found calmness, neutrality or
even fair judgment in your columns.
I have laughed heartily at times, as
for instance when your correspondent
M. Bunau-Varilla wrote that Abys
sinia had only entered the League “by
book and by crook.” he omitted, how
ever, to state who were Abyssinia’s
sponsors, in other words who was
“crook” and which was “hook.”
Applications Usually Result.
Every time the scientist extends the
j reach of his instruments, he opens up
j a bonanza of knowledge and usually
j only a short time elapses before there
j is some practical application of the
i information secured.
Exploration of the ocean bottom is
! one of the problems which has taxed
| the ingenuity of scientists. They have
j sent down drags which scoop up loose
lying material on the ocean’s floor,
but these do not work satisfactorily
at great depths. They have sent down
sound waves whose echoes tell them
of the depths and contours of the bot
tom, the location of marine mountain
ranges and valleys. They would like
to get samples of the consolidated de
posits that comprise the ocean floor.
But it is difficult to operate drilling-
apparatus, such as is used on the sur
face for getting cores of soil or rock at
depths of several miles.
A device has been invented for
getting such drill core samples of the
ocean floor up to ten feet in length.
A core of that thickness will cover
an enormous period of time in ocean
deposits. Each such core taken will
be a page in the history of the ocean
and a record of present conditions.
Submarine Gun Used.
The apparatus that secures these
cores is a submarine gun. It punches
holes in the bottom of the ocean and
brings the content of the holes to
when it is seated it may be discharged
electrically from the ship. It has an
explosion chamber just like an ordi-
nary piece of artillery. Instead of j
ejecting an explosive shell it ejects;
a sealed hollow cylinder of metal
which is forced by the explosion into'
the bottom sediments to a depth of
ten feet. When the cylinder is with
drawn it takes with it the inclosed
cylindrical section of the sediment j
These sample cores are removed on j
the ship and sealed for future ex-
amination.
The sampling cylinder is sealed at
the bottom with a rupture disk that
is strong enough to withstand the
pressure of the water, but breaks when
the pressure of the explosion is exerted, i
The gun is charged with varying
amounts of explosives, the amount
depending upon the hydrostatic pres
sure, which increases with the depth
and the resistance of the ocean floor
sediments.

Deep Canyons Only in Ocean.
The apparatus was designed pri
marily to get cores from the great
ocean deeps, long and narrow canyons
that appear to be enormous cracks in
the earth, and some of which are six
miles deep. Canyons such as these
do not exist on the parts of the earth
not covered by water. Most of them
are close to coast lines bordered by
high mountain ranges. Their location
suggests that when the mountain
ranges were pushed up the floor of
the ocean was pulled apart in these
places. Some surface deposits have
been scooped from these depths. One j
of the unusual things about them is j
that they contain a relatively large
amount of radium, several times that
of the more shallow ocean floor de
posits.
Cores shown at the exhibition were
taken in tests made by the ship At- j
lantis of the Woods Hole Oceano
graphic Institution during a study of
the canyons of the continental shelf
last August. The work is being car
ried on in conjunction with the Geo
logical Society of America, with the
assitance of the Du Pont Powder Com
pany and the United States Lighthouse
Service.

History a Century Ago.
Croix-Lille, Dec. 27.
To the Editor, European Edition :—
As a French reader of your paper,
especially the Mailbag, may I ask some
of your friends to give me information
about the Anglo-American war of the
beginning of the nineteenth century.
As a matter of fact, the French boys
so busy in studying the Napoleonic
wars, find no information at all in the
“Histoires de France” distributed
throughout France on this subject.
May I ask someone to give informa
tion, such as the causes of this war,
the battles fought, the treaty which
ended it.
May I say, in finishing, that it is
not of course as pro-British or pro-
American, that I beg this information,
but simply in order to learn?
