CURIOUS WORK OF PENAMC'^
Ancient Buddhist of Japan V^r!te3
126,000 Words on Piece of Paper
13 by IVz Inches.
Education In Iceland.
Icelanders are now famous foi» their
high standard of education. Every
child of ten in this remote little land
can read and write, neither abject pov
erty nor important wealth is seen,
and crime is rare; and the latest step
in the evolution of this remarkable
people is the founding of a university
at the capital.
For some time there has been
shown in San Francisco a piece of
paper 13 inches by 7^ inches, on
which there are written 126,000 words.
This writing is the work of Kobo
Taishi, a Buddhist of Japan, who lived
1,100 years ago. Before hi? lime hia
countrymen used only Chinese char
acters in writing and he evolved Iho
Idea of the Japanese alphabet.
The writing on the paper is so fine
that a microscope has to be used to
decipher the intricate Japano-e c^Ia^
acters. It is an exact copy of eight
books of the Buddhist Bible, an‘
was written by the author as a sort o;
penance to purify his spirit. It Is the
property of a descendant of the writer,
and has passed as a ^ hfr lorm
from father to son for a thousand
years. Every precaution has been
taken to insure the safety of tho
document. In a case of white wood is
a beautiful laquered bos wrapped in
green silk. Within the laquered box
la another made of a very light porous
wood that is extensively used in the
manufacture of cabinets in which to
atore treasures. In this box is th'^
precious writing.
