Groat improvements are said to have
'been effected by Prof. Korn, of tho
Munich university, in his upparatus for
IrauHutitting photographs over the tele-
graph wires. 110 has succeeded in send-
ing photographs and sketches six • r
set en inches square from Munich to
Nuremburg, a distance of 100 miles, it
from ten to fifteen minutes. 1'recise'y
the same results, says Prof. Korn, would
be ul.luincd if oho photographs were
transmitted by a telegraph line of any
length. The photograph is placed on
a transparent glass cylinder, which re-
volves slowly and at the same time
moves right to left. A ray of light Is
thrown on the cylinder by means of an
electric lamp and !ems, and when the
ray reaches the interior of the cylinder
it is brighter or durker according to the
coloring of that particulur part of pho-
tograph through which It passes, In-
side the cylinder is sones selenium,
which transmits the CI'et•ical current
in proportion to the intensity of the
fight brought to bear on it. The re-
ceivu►g apparatus consists of an elec-
trical Nernst lamp placed inside a glass
cylinder covered with sensitized paper,
en whir It is reprodu:ed the photograph
in Ifs exact shades, prot'ided that Ii►e
cylinders at each end of the wire re-
volve al exactly the same speed. 11 is
hoped to stake such improvements in
oho apparatus as will enable pictures to
Le photographed in two minutes.
Holiday packages not only but big
build'ngs are being wrapped up in
paper. In the course of experiments r n
protecting iron and steel structures
against moisture and atmospheric ero-
sion, when coats of various kinds of
plant were found to bo ineffective, triols
were made to determine the protective
power of paper impregnated with paraf-
fin wax. The iron was first thoroughly
cleaned froth rust by means of wire
brushes, and a coat of sticky paint ap-
plied. The paper then was pressed
tightly on to the surface of the fresh
paint with the edges made to overlap
aoinewhal, and coals of paint at once
applied to the surface of the paper. It
was found that iron and steel thus pro-
tected remained in the same condition
as at first, after constant exposure for
2: nion'.hs to the action of smoke, while
tho sticky layer of paint on the metal
also was intact, and in some places still
rot dry. It also proved that steel treat-
ed in this way could remain In contact
with moist air and sewer gases without
its surface being in any way attacked.

Vain Regrets of Old Age a Warning
to the Young
Rejoice, 0 young mon, in try youth,
Lod let Ihy heart cheer thee in the days
et Ihy youth, aid walk in the ways ret
thir►o heart, and in the sight of thine
eyes; but know thou that for all these
things God will bring thee into judg-
Inent.-fc._I. xi. 9.
So said Solomon -Solomon the great,
the wise, the magnificent. Ile had
drunk to the full of all the "pleasure
that the world Could give him and ',1
tho last in his old age ho could Lind
no pleasure in them. Sated, worn,
weary, he said:
"Vanity, vanity, all Ls vanity."
Very likely he was thinking of the
Solomon that then was and the Solo-
mon that night have been -recalling
his superb gfts, his magnificent oppor-
tunities. Perhaps he had been thinking
o; the lino when as a boy he ascend-
ed the Ihrono of David, of the time
when God appeared to him in a dream
by night, saying: "Ask what I shall give
thee." Who ever find sock an offer'
And yet, with all the world to choose
from, the young Solomon said: "Give
thy servant an understanding heart to
judge thy people, that 1 nlay discern
Lclween good and bad."
Well would it have been for him had
he romained of that mind. But even
Solomon was not alwnys wise. With
luxury came temptation; with success
came sin;
WlT11 SIN CAME SORROW.
In tho end calve weariness and a dreary
gift of years when he could only say,
"i have no pleasure in them."
I.00king from his roof garden wall he
saw the young men go trooping by and,
thinklrg of the limo when he, too, was
young and full of the joy of life, he
said:
"Rejoice, 0 young man, in thy youth
and let thy heart cheer thee in the days
of thy youth, and walk in the ways 0,f
thine heart, and in the sight of thine
eyes; but know thou that for all these
things God will bring thee into judg-
ment."
God had brought Solomon into judg-
ment. In his old age he was paying the
penalty that always comes soon or late.
The sins of his youth, of middle age,
had found him out al the last. As it
vas with him it will be with all that
walk In wicked ways. \\-hal wonder that
he said: "Know that for all these things
Gal will bring Thee Into judgment." So
said Solomon. He fount) it to be so in
the dhys of his sin -darkened old age.
Yes, for wasted oporlunilies and sin-
ful self-indulgence God was bringing
fun into judgment. All literature is
full of such confessions.
On his tufty -third birthday -a time
when a man should 1* at his lest, the
very age when the Redeemer gave his
life for us all -Lord Byron said:
Through lifo's dull road, so din and
dirty,
1 have dragged on to three -and -thirty.
Anil what have these years lett to ine?
Nothing, except three -and thirty.
Ito had rown to the wind.
Ito was reaping L.e whirlwind. What
wonder that still later in his short life
he should say:
My days are in lho yellow leaf,
The flower, the fruits of love are gone.
The worm, the canker and the grief
Are mine alone.
Ah, how ninny. when it was too late.
have regretted vainly the sins of their
youth. Hurlley Coleridge was the gift-
ed son of a gifted father. Ile was young,
brilliant, highly educated, with every
prospect for n great future, but tic wast-
e 1 hts opportunities, and Tittle by little
became
A SLAVE TO STRONG DRINK.
While yet young he wrote on the fly -leaf
of his Bible, his dead mother's gift:
When i received this volume small
My days were barely 17,
\Viten it was hoped 1 should be all
Which once, alas, 1 might have been.
And now my years are 25,
And every mother hopes her Iamb,
And every happy boy alive,
May never be what now I am.
Let us think, however, of the injunc-
tion of the text as an incentive to noble
purpose and high hopes.
"Rejoice, 0 young man, in thy
youth." You may. You should. Know
that in doing it you have the sympathe-
tic interest of all good sten and good
angels, yes, and of your lord and Sa-
viour, Christ. who said: "l ani come
that ye ought have life and have it
more abundantly." Ile would not rob
you of any real true joy in lite. Rather
Ho would add to every pure pleasure
the crowning joy of all -the knowledge
of God and the penco of God, which
passcth all understanding.

OLD NF.AVSPAI'ER USES.
it Is not easy to think of anything ap-
parently more useless Than an old news-
paper. torn, crumpl(d. and looking only
111 for the lire; but as a matter of fact
(here are several ways in which to nnake
use of It.
When sweeping-dny comes, and there
is no supply of moist lea leaves ready,
nn old newspaper torn up into shreds
and sprinkled with water will prove nn
excellent substitute for collecting the
dust.
When carpets are lifted r,nd beaten it
Is n gn(xl plan to lay several !hit knessts
of newspapers underneath. either in
place of or above the fell or brown paper
sok! for the purpose. The reason for
placing the newspapers above. next to
the carpet, is that printer's ink is a
splendid moth-prcv(•ntnlise.
For clenning winduw:s arid polishing
looking -glosses nothing Is so good ns n
watt of dump newspaper pulp, followed
by a vigorous polishing with a hall of
dry paper rubbed soft In the hands.
Unless the pnper is made soft in this
way It is likely to scratch the surface of
the mirror.
Ai'RONS.
Our grandmnlhers nlVnys wore
aprons when about their work, n custom
we would do well in imitating.
if a twonnnn fancies that nn apron is n
Useless itnention, let her wear one for
n single morning whin Mimi, her work,
and note how soiled it Incomes. Then
lel her reflect upon the fact that but Inc
this protection her dress would hove re-
ceived nil the soil. "Rut 1 wins n block
dress always!" is no 1 011111N01 of the
argument. The soil is there. even if it
does not show. The fact that it Is pre-
sent is nn offense ton tient womnn.

USEFUL HINTS.
When the feel are tiro., through long
standing or walking there is nothing so
good as It warn► foot -bath in which a
good handful of sea salt hos been dis-
solved. With a sponge bathe the ntiklcs
and legs for a few Minutes; dry with a
rough towel, rubbing well.
/:lean hair brushes are a sign of the
neat woman. Besides the regular von.,h-
ing In ammonia or borax water, keep
hair brushes clean by wiping off the
bristles each time the brushes ore used,
with tissue paper. Lacking that, news-
paper is next best.
To Make a Linseed Poultice.- Take of
fine -ground linseed meal four parts, and
of boiling water ten parts. Mix Ilio lin-
seed steal with the water gradually,
stirring constantly. The poultice should
ba an inch thick and very hot. A piece
of thin flannel placed between it and the
skin will enable the poultice to be ix,rue
touch hotter than it otherwise would.
To Clean Glass. -\\'ase► oho glasses in
trot water, and rub them up, when well
rinsed, with newspaper. This answers
much better than wiping them with a
cloth. If much stained, you will find
that If torn -up pieces of newspaper are
put into the decanters with plenty of
trot water, and then well shaken up, the
glass will be as pure as tho proverbial
crystal. Glass windows always look
better when cleaned In this way than
when done by the 'more usual method.

Lesson 111, Man's Sin and God's Pro-
mise. Golden Text: 1 Cor. 15. 22.
THE LESSON \VOIRD STUDIES.
Based on tho text of the Revised Ver-
sion.
Gradual Development of Ilebrew Liter-
nt u•e.-Ono more premise we must lay
down for our guidance in the Old Testa-
ment studies upon which we have en-
tered. The law of orderly development
to which we referred in our first Intro-
ductory Nolo as a fundamental law of
the universe, is found to be operative
also in the separate stages of God's
larger eternal creation there mentioned.
111 the onward ntnrch of the w'orld's his-
tory there aro no arbitrary cataclysms,
no sudden and complete breaks with the
past, no ushering in of new dispensa-
tions for which adequate preparation
fuss not been made in preceding dispen-
sations. Men have sometimes been dis-
posed to regard the conning of Christ, for
example, ns such an abrupt beginning
of a new era. Jesus was indeed born at
Bethlehem nt n slated titre, and from the
year of his birth all other events in the
world's history are now reckoned, for-
ward and backward. But for that event
oho whole sacred history of a chosen
nation, and more, was a necessary pre-
paration. Likewise for the creation of
roan an age -long preparatory creative
process was necessary. Tito Bible, loo,
God's special gift to man, was not
handed down intact. from ,heaven. It
grew on the soil of Judaism and Chris-
tianity. and this soil had In be prepared.
As written manuscripts preceded printed
books, so oral tradition preceded written
narratives and history. "In the pictur-
esque, concrete form of popular tradi-
tions were lrntisplailed the thoughts,
the beliefs, the fancies. and the experi-
ences of preceding generations" for
many centuries before writing became
common. Then gradually, when politi-
cal nod social conditions become more
slnblo and favorable. men began to
write d,wn the choicest treasures of
their peculiar racial and national tradi-
tions, thus giving to these n more per-
fected and enduring form. These curli-
est rind somewhat scattered literary
treasures in turn furnished to later
writers Iho needed source -material for
their more elaborate rind connected nnr-
ralives. To this rule of grudu:;1 develop-
ment the literature of the Hebrew people,
preserved for Its in the 011 'Testament,
while in a very definite and exalted
sense Inspired of God,will be farad to
fonn no exception. But as Professor
Charles Forster Kent has pointed out in
the first volume of his Student's Old
'testament, "tested by intrinsic merit.
the stories preserved in the opening
books of the (ltd Testament are found to
possetss a unique value. for they reflect
not merely the experiences. but also
those early ideas and klenls of the
Israelites which embody Hod's personal
re'velalion through them to the bunion
race." "History," the tome nulhor can-
litims, "is sln►p‘1%); nn necurpte represen-
blton of lncls, lino popular Irndi-
lions are projceael the beliefs, the aspir-
ations and the eternal truths held I:y

ly the ext.•, nal bill nI n the mental ntal and
spiritual life of the lsroelit,sh people
,them God was training try varied ex-
periences to make known his gracious
purpose to the world."

Said unto the woman -The serpent bis

not hors's, actually heard the prohibi•
lion which h hod leen given to Adam

the prohibition as thus distorted. Doubts
and sill pieions fur sown in Ili' heart of

denial of God's command by the temp-
ter.
2. Tho woman said -She corrects the
serpent and shows that she is fully
aware of the strictness of the prohibi-
tion.
The garden -Apart from tho account
given in the preceding chapter (Gen. 2
8-17) we have no della concerning the
location of Paradise as pictured by the
Hebrew narrator. The cradle of human-
ity
man•ity was believed by the Hebrews to be
suuewltcre east of Palestine, probably
in or near Babylonia; and there, some-
where in the well -watered region be-
tween the greatest two rivers which they
knew, the 'Tigris and the Euphrates, and
two others, the course of which it is im-
possible nt present to determine consis-
tently with actual geography, the author
located Eden.
3. Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall
ye touch it -Eve could have known of
this prohibition only through Adana
who. "like a good husband, had exag-
gerated the command to her and mode
it stricter than it really was." The com-
mand as given to Adam said nothing
about not touching the fruit.
lost ye die -The common explanation
of Jeliovnli s word "for In the day that
thou retest thereof Ihqu shalt surely
die" (Gen. 2. 17) Ls blunt This expression
is intended to mean "become mortal";
perhaps In the sense of not being p e -
milled after his transgression to eat of
"the tree of life." There Is n real diffi-
culty here, however, which it is not easy
to solve. In the Talmud the explanation
given is that with God one day is as a
Ihotlsnnd years, and that since Adam
actually dict (lie when he was only nine
hundred and thirty years old the threat
was curried out consistently with its in-
tended meaning.
4. Ye shall not surely die -The temp-
ter's flat denial of God's word.

gestion of jealousy or envy on the port
of God confined in the tempter's words.
A similar suggestion Is found In the
story of the •Tower of Babel. There
seems to hove been among all ancient
peoples a notion that there was o real
danger of great 111011 and heroes becom-
ing like gods. Hence jealousy and envy

For two years he lived in n dark cave.
Then he remained for live years in Uro

His appearance is stately. Ills figure is

Ho has the marvellous faculty of being'
able to simulate death at will. He can
check instantly the beating of his heart,
so that physicians believe him to bo
dead, and he can nlso revivify his body
at will. Ile often goes days without eat-
ing any food. and ns a rule he lakes
only one simple meal a day.

years ago he formed a Very poor opinion
of the English. "They are as tract as
Murch (tares," he said, "not so mad as

mad." A London Express representative
who visited the ntaltnlmn nt 70 Margaret
Street, Cavendish Square, found that ho
had not Materially altered this view.
"In this country," he said, "I lied few
indeed who are worthy, but there are
many, very ninny who are ungrateful,
