Ile experimented at the City Hospital,
principally on cases of suppuration and
gangrene of the lungs. Of twenty-
eight such cases, when the lungs were
opened and surgically treated, twenty
were cured.
The professor also operated on the
lungs of fifteen patients suffering from
tronchial ulcers. In these eases the re-
sults were far from enoouraging, only

several riles beforehand In order to al-
low the surgeon roost for working. In
several enses the professor removed a
whole lute of the affected lungs, Ihere-

Over Their Differences - Great
Treasure fele
A biller archaeological controversy
is raging in Germany over the exact
location of the famous gold urines of
the Queen of Sheba. Dr. Carl ('eters,
the weleknown explorer and former
Governor of German East Africa, has
been lecturing throughout Germany to
the effect that the Biblical Opfer gold
region in Africa, according to his dis-
coverlcnc, lies on the Zambesi river.
Baron von Falkcncgg, else an explor-
er of note, says that the theory of fir.
Peters has been set tip "in the interests
01 England."
THINKS ASiA WAS OPIiiR.
Baron Fnikenegg writes: "From the
Bibie it is incontrovertibly clear !tint
the Queen of Sheba, i.e., Habesch, took
ttx land route over Arabia. From the
Ifarrar region, in the neighborhood of
Djibuti, she settee to Yemen to some
southern Arabian point, and there or-
ganized the Areal. ferny -an. in all pro-
bability, as ruler of llabee h. she was
also ruler of Southern Arabia.' flnron
Falkenegg Then <ILsciesses the "Colonial

carried out.

"On that bas's Dr. Peters rests his
arguments that the region of the 'Siln-

THE LESSON WORD STUDIES.
,Based on the text of the Revised
Version.)
Futter Manlfeslatie6n of Jesus as the
Christ. -In llt'.s and the subsetlu_ tt
chapters of his goseel John records the
fuller and continuous self -revelation of
Jesus
as the Christ. This revolution
look the form of authoritative teaching
en the ono hand, and the manifestation
et divine rower 111 the working of
miracles on the other. As we have al-
ready noted in the previous study, John
_snares himself almost entirely to n
record of events which trunsp:red at
Jerusalem on the occasion of successive
Jewish festivals. (fere the self -revela-
tion of Jesus was the means of bring-
ing out the unbelief of the Jewish au
Mollies and people in spite of the so-
licitous warnings and remonstrances of
him against whom their bitter enmity
was rapidly tie e:ophtg. At the same
rime this same self -revelation of Jesus
developed in the minds and hearts o►
the d!sc!p'cs whom he had gathered
about hint a deefer and more abiding
faith in his divine character and mis-
sic-n. In the events and dLseourses re-
corded In chapters five and six Jesus
reveaLs himself as the source and su
tenunce of life, At Jerusalem this
velation is vouchsafed to a smell
^.nnpany of Jews, including, doublles
s-ine of the disciples, in connectio
with the healing of the Impotent sea
al the Pool of Bothe.sda. In Galilee,
Iilt'e later, Jesus reveids himself in
similar way 10 a larger multitude
people in connertietn with and sucks
quent to the fending of the five thoi
sand. The miracle at Pethesda wa
wrought on lite Sabbath day. and ih
fact exposed Jesus to a charge bete
fere Jewish authorities of breaking th
law of Moses, which In its essence wa
no other than the law of God; and lei
turn was the occasion for a fuller ex
position on the part e f Jews of his r
lallon to the Father as the giver of tife
together well an appeal to the gest
mony of the Father to the Son ns irn
plied In the works which he was pc
fanning. A synopsis of the contents o
chapters five and six has been given b
\Ieelyntont in the following form:
"Jesus the source and sustenance o
life: (5. 1 to 6. 71).
"Healing of the sick man nt i elhes
ria (in Jerusalem) on the Suiten), ant
consequently hostility of the Jews 15
1.18).
"Jesus asserts his position as th
Plenil-olenliary of the Father (19.30), am
adduces divine testimony in his fano
(3147).
"Feeding of the five thousand it
Galilee (6. 1-15).
"Jesus walking on the Sea of Gali

"The people follow hint to Cnpernnum

A feast --Many ancient mnnuscripts
read "the feast," indicating an early
tradition that this feast eiLeo was n
Passover festival. 'This, however, 's
nol likely, since John elsewhere in
sr.eaking of other Passover feasts re -
fete to them speelflrnlly as .u• 1r (3. 13;

which still presents the strange phe-
nomenon of an intermittent Thou/eine
of the waters,' caused by the periodi-
eat overflow from a natural syphon un-
der the cave. (Compare verse 5 below 1.
lu this particular pool it is still the
custom of the Jews to bathe at the lime
of its periodical overflow, believing that
to tis waters inheres the rower to cure
disease.
3, 5. We note that the Revised Ver-
sion (Nelson) omits part of the third
and all of the fourth verses of Iles
chapter as found in leo older King
Jt.mcs version. The part omitted is re
gained in the margin, where it is re-
ferred to as follows: "Many ancient eu-
ihorilies insert wholly or in part (after
the word withered), waiting for the
moving of -the waters: for nn angel of
the Lord went down at certain seasons
into the fool, and troubled the water;
whos:cver then first after the troubling
cif the water stepped in was made whole
with whatsoever disease he was hold-
en." This reference to the miracle is
emitted from the text of both the Eng-
lish and the American Revised Versions
nn the ground of its omission by the
test and oldest of the ancient menu -
scripts, and the further fact that those
ef the older manuscripts which do con-
tain the passnge differ greatly from each
other in lis exact wording. It seems
that the people of ancient times, not
understanding the true cause of the
periodic bubbling of the venter, ascribed
this to the action of fin Invisible angel.
This popular explanation was probably
first written on Iho margin of one and
then others of the o:dsst manuscripts
as an expression o1 plausible opirtion,
end was later introduced into the body
of some of the texts by those whose
business it was to multiply copies c 1

Tho ott:or day a British physician re-
ported a case that had corse under hie
trealnrenl in which the use of eyelet -
:Lou was curiously connected with a
change in the color of the hair. t
%waren patient of his was subject to at-
Lu•ks of mental depression. At these
totes her hair, which was normally
auburn, turn, d quee black. As she ro-
c vored loom the depression her hair
gradually regninrd els cid color. When
this t.hys'cien leek the case lie decided
to try hypnotism. Inimediak good re-
sults were noted in the patient's con-
d:ton, and in a very few days her stair
was natural again. Here is a new bit
of material lir the theorists, who may
try to find out whether the transforma-
tions were due directly to nervous con-
dition, to nutrition or to some other
cause.
The ries as to the cause of (ho color
of the hair turn mainly on its chemical
ounstiluents, and among (hese iron has
had special attention. Dark bair seems
to contain more iron than blonde and
red hair has about as much iron as
(lark hair; Lut the riegroes with their
dark hair have no Iron al all in the pig•
merit; so the theorists are set guessing
again, with sulphur and silicia and other
cxmstiluenls prominent in their
thoughts. The fact that in general dark
hair and rd show the most iron. taken
lc,gelher with the other fact that iron
ha.s Iwo oxides, one black and one red,
tempts investigators continually to re-
cur to the iron theory. In the mean-
time there is only ono good piece of
advice to be given people who don t
like the color of their hair, and that
is to forget it.
'Tw'o English novelists, Richard \\'hile-
ing and II. G. Wells, have been express-
ing bald, heterodox views on reading.
and a lively controversy has been stir-
red up by (heir curious advice to the
average lover of letters. Mr. \Vhite-
ing thinks that there is little genuine
p;easuro or profit in the "old books, •
and tells us to "net them go" without
ceremony or fear of "superior" criti-
cism from admirers of the classics.
We are of this age and should slick
to the books of the age, in Els opinion.
\fr. Wells, in witty and pleasant nd-
reess on the relation between journa-
lism and literature, not only made large
and sound claims for modern journa-
i;s►n of the intelligent, alert, dignified
kind, but went on to draw analogies
between the up -to -dale newspapers and
the up -to -elate novel.
flut here he fell info several fallacies,
and there was still greater logical lapse
n the conclusion that, beeause the mod-
rn novel wee apt to deal with modern
problems and cendilions, with modern
ypcs and characters, 11 wns distinctly

The advice to read nothing but clas-
sics is erroneous, for interest in the lit-
erature, music, drama and art of our

the opposite error is even graver, for
it would deprive readers of a wealth of
beauty, inspiration and noble pleasure.
