Occasionally we hear • of pee ons with a remarkable: gift for "doing •sums in their heads:' They can multiply. and divide and find roots of high :nunl here without apparent effort. The cal- culators 'themselves do not under- atand how they do it. ' They are just born that way. One of the most remarkable of these lightning calculators •was Zerah Col - :r burn, born in 1804. Colburn could Multiply two four-iigdre numbers in- stantly. •During a test he multiplied eight by itself sixteen times and gave the answer in a few seconds. He could find square root' and cube roots of large numbers automatreally. Another famous calculator was G. P. Bidder, a civil engineer. Ile was matched against Colburn on one oc- casion and beat him •easily, When only nine years old, Bidder was asked: If the distance of the moonfrom the earth were 125,256 miles, and; sound travels at the rate of four miles a min- ute, how long would it take the noise of the, Battle of Waterloo .to -reach the moon? In. :less • than a minute he gave the correct answer: twenty. -one days nine hours thirty-four minutes. Pe chaps the best-known' of modern calculators is Jacques leausli, who was born in 1867.

Dazed- by multiplied misfortunes,. Job cried:, "Why is lightgiven to a man whose way. is hid, and whom God. hath hedged in?" His knowledge of God failed to gear up with his 'experi- ences, As farmer, stock raiser; hus- band, father, neighbor, his record was above reproach. Yet 'his: -great thoughts,. wise plans, fine impulses, noble aspirations had failed of fruition.. Here he was robbed and sick, home- 1ess, criticized, betrayed. Why? • Many a farmer 1s conscious of inner light that does not brighten his way. He advances on a great. purpose and :. is met bye a hedge. Crop ;failure is '•%ss, disheartening than failure of, ideals. Lack of reward for industry in: his fields does not parchkis soul '. as lack of spiritual fruitage in his family does. Why does; a man try, and repeatedly? For one thing do not forget that light itself is a blessing. It is given In. love. Any human is the better for every • uplifting 'thought, every thrill- ing ambition, every noble conception of God, though everyday outworkings are hidden, Then, time may work, out rewards far greater than we an- ticipate, as in the ease of Job. Job's gain was. this: 'Tn the begin- ning he knew things about God, iu the end he knew God. .Our gain is great- s er. God has revealed himself to us nAl. in, his Son.

More than 2d0,000 species of insects are known to theiielogist. They are found in all' parts of the World. Insects are found ie. the Arc- tic Region and in n the ad deserts. The ancestry of theLL'insect is lost 'in obscurity. ' They -made their' ap- pearance upon earth millions of •years ago, in the Era -of Ancient Life. Many biologists believe that the trilobites which flourished'' on the ocean floor in the early days of the Era of Ancient Life furnished the an- cestral stock from whist the insects evolved.

The sub' -committee of the League of Nations which has, for the last two years, been considering the_matter of reforming the calendar, has now con- cluded its labors, and a report, recom mending souse very drastic changes, has been presented. ' It is suggested that Easter shall be definitely fixed for the second Sunday in April, regardese of the date. An overwhelming number of business, economic, and professional bodies are they, a large amount of abdominal -opal bone tuberculosis among childreel is directly traceable to milk from ells - eased cows•. Milk .used by human beings should be free 'from the germs of tuberculosis. Can we het() to supply such a milk? It is quite possible --keep the germs out of the ,milk, and kill them if they do get in; that's all. The milk must come from healthy cows. Milking and handling of utensils must be done by healthy persons; 1f a person is "not very well," let him or her help with other work, but never with milking or anything that has to do with the milk. In spite of our best efforts, germs of tuberculosis will, however, get into milk, and before it is used as food, they iiaust be killed, The surest way to •ensure this is by pasteurizing: heat to a point in which the, germ cannot live (142F. for 30 minutes), chilling immediately (45F.) and keeping it cold until used. This will make the milk in favor of this. - free from tuberculosis germs, also Many leaders of religious thought germs. of typhoid, diphtheria, scarlet are also In agreement with the'sug- fever and septic, sore throat.

It seems unlikely. that such agree- ment will be reached without prolong- ed negotiation, for already the great Eastern Orthodox Church (embracing some millions of Russians and Greeks) keeps beth Christmas' and Easter some time later than the churches in the West.

Water Engine With Care. When the water in the cooling sys- tem suddenly turns, to steam, due to evaporation or leakage, do not add water immediately to the radiator to cool the engine, but allow it to drop to a temperature that will not burn the lingers. Even then add water slowly. Be careful when removing the radiator cap to avoid being scalded by escaping steam. Pouring cold water into the jackets of an overheat- ed engine is very likely to cause violent contraction of parts of the cylinders and head that may result in the formation of cracks and per- haps ruin these expensive parts.
