Roman courts could be held after sunrise. They themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled.

That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signify- ing what death he should die. This teem hears on our everyday theology. It directly implies that the whole poli- tical order•r of the world was held in service by God to fulfill the sayings of his Son. Jesus had spoken of being "Med tip," and had charged the Jews wile platting to lift him up to his death; both of which statements point ed, to the arose ns a means of punish - molt. But orueifixion Was not inflict- ed by the Jews. Then, too, in one pas- sage. 01 least, he predicted his death at the hands of Gentiles. But before these prophecies could be fulfilled the right to inflict capital punie meat must be taken away from the Jews; anti to take it away required a long chain of eircumstnnces, muse and effect in many links, involving dein- slow. by ,many minds who had no knowledge or consideration of Jesus.

When, tbe special trains bearing their burdens of suffering, disease, sorrow, woe and misery arrived at the station, the scenes were heartrending. Some of the poorer sufferers painfully dragged themselves along the road towards the hospitals on foot.

Langley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, the inventor of the Aeriodome, who was given $25,- 000 by the Board of Ordnance, to ex- periment with his flying machine for war purposes, made his first test at Quantico, Va., on Thursday. Professor Langley, with the amount of money placed at his disposal, built a new and larger machine than that with whieb he experimented two years before. The machine was launched from the top of a bouseboat anchored in a broad sweep of the Potomac, about three-fourths of a mile from the island owned by the Quantico Rod and Gun Club. The result was not so success - Cul as were Professor Langley's former experiments with the smaller mnch- ine The machine soared aloft to a height of 500 feet, and descended after a horizontal flight of 800 feet. His former machine, which was pro- pelled by a small steam engine, flew three-quarters of a mild, and only descended wheu the steam was ex- hausted. It was understood that Pro - Peseta Langley was to overcome the limited power capacity of the former machine by the use of a condensing engine, which would repeatedly util- ize the condensed steam from the boiler.
