ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS .

—o “CURIOUS,” Taihape.—So far a s we are aware the offer by the publishers to pay £5 for the discovery of an error (typographical or grammaticil) in the Bible still holds good. Wo do not know the most famous error that has been made, but cans give two instances that would be hard to beat. In 1801 in an editien of the Bible (known as the Murderers’ Bible) the word . “murderers” takes the place of “murmurers” at Jude 16. A still more remarkable mistake was made in the 1810 edition, of the Bible. At Luke xix., 26, it reads: “If any man come to me and hate not his father and mother, and wife and ihildren and brethren and sisters, yea, and his own “wife” also, he cannot be my disciple.” Tha word “wife” in inverted commas should have been “life”—just an ■ “I” of a difference. This edition in consequence wa s called, the “Wi?e Hater’s Bible.” ■ r
