His personal relat- ionships with many individuals who are named in the New Testament were very beautiful and very "hu- moln".

If this was so, surely there is a warning in it to all of God's people to be sensitive- ly careful and jeager to ascertain His will at every point. In Acts 21:4 we road that certain that "said to Paul through the slaty never thinks of one's self at Spirit, that he should not go up to all, but can tell the truth about one's Jerusalem."This apparently was a self in utter self -forgetfulness, with plain command from God.

Paul, looking continually at the Lord, was "changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" (2 Cur. 3:18). He could truthfully say: "I therefore so run not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air" (1 Cor. 9:26). The Holy Spirit authorized him to say: "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and snaketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place" (2 Cor. 2:14). And so, as Paul met with his dear Christian friends, the elders of the Church of Ephesus, realizing that he and they were seeing one another for the last time in this life, he could speak to them with humility, but truthfully concerning his ministry among them. Paul had no false humility—that is not humility at all.

Brass seems to have been a favorite metal; every skeleton had some brass object with it. These modern mound -build- ers unquestionably did a lot of busi- ness with the French traders. A change fn the type of burial may possibly be due to European influ- ence. All the adult skeletons in this post -European mound lay flat on their backs, heads west, feet east. This resembles the white man's meth- od of burial. All the other deep bur- ials at the Fisher site, whose funeral gifts do not include European objects. were turned over on one side and drawn up into a crouching position, as primitive peoples are wont to sleep in cold weather. OUTLAWS OF' TH]2 WILDS. There Are Many Animals Which Man Does Not Like. In the animal world there are out- laws as there are among human be- ings. They are shot at sight. Some are small, like the rat and the jack rabbit; others large and fierce, like the timber wolf and the cougar or mountain lion, But all are destruc- tive, unpleasant beasts, Australians hate the dingo or wild dogs. It is a cunning, cowardly crea- ture, and the worst foe o£ the sheep farmer. The timber wolf of North America Is the sworn foe of the stock - raiser, the rancher, and the farmer, The trapper also hates it because it robs his traps. Another foe of sheep is the Tas- manian Devil, a name it thoroughly deserves. One of theeo ugly beasts has been known to kill a score of sheep in a night, Fortunately it is getting rare, much to the ranchers' delight, The Rocky Mountains lion, which is not a real lion but a cougar, is hunted ruthlessly and ,slain by the ranchers and stock -raisers because of its raids upon cattle, and the lynx is almost equally destructive. The wolverine is a thief and a burglar, for it breaks foto ;hacks and huts and raids the trapper's stores, breaks into his cache, and leaves him with- out winter supplies. Every Wild West story describes the dismal and unearthly howling of the coyote, and it is the symbol of cowardice. But it is a destructive creature and a cunning sneak -thief, Tens of thousands are killed, every year in North America. The rabbits of Australia—descen- dants of British stock—are hated be- cause they eat the grass upon which stock depend for food. Millions are killed in Australia every year, and their skins furnish a large revenue which goes some way towards neu- tralizing their sins. A Motor to Aid 'Walkers. M. Santos Dumont, the pioneer airman, is engaged on an invention which may revolutionize winter sports. He Is working on the lines of Mr. I3, G. Well's vision of the Inhabitants of Mars arriving on our earth with machines propelled with the min1- mum of effort by lever motion such as nature exclusively employs in the animal world and without the use of a single wheel. Ho set out to con- struct a mechanical rid which would make it as easy or a man to walk up a mountain side as to walk down it. Ho has completed an apparatus whichr canbe strapped Pp ed to a man's shoulders. It is worked by a small single cylinder petrol engine of only one-tenth of one horsepower, but Which propels the pair of aides fitted to the feet at normal walking pace. M.

In 1902 the Globe was a power in the land. For generations before that year it had fearlessly and without favor expressed and upheld through its news and editorial columns, pub- lic opinion, as it was undiluted. What ft said was listened to and bore weight with both political parties and its influence with the people in the rural districts, regardless of politics was widespread. In 1928, the Globe possesses Ito such standing or influence, because it has departed from its old policy of expressing the opinion of the peo- ple and substituting a policy of Globe opinion, regardless of the public. Through the articles of its imported editorial writers and its news columns it very often seeks to. dictate what shall be public opinion and what shall be the policy of gov- ernments. It has come to believe it is the All Highest, but like one other of that name it has failed. To- day the Globe has little, if any, in- fluence with governments of either political party, while its influence In the country is small and, like its readers, diminishing. .:r AN ANCIENT ART. Weaving Was tenoun to Egyptians at an Early Date. The Chinese claire that silk weav- ing was practiced In China in 2500 B.C., and the art of weaving was cer- tainly known to the Egyptians at a stili earlier period, Some scholars believe that weav- ing was invented in Egypt, but In all probability it was invented in at least four different places, -- by a primitive white man, a primitive yel- low man, a .primitive red man, and a primitive black man. The earliest attempts at weaving were simply the plaiting of grass blades, reeds or rushes, dour by hand without the aid of a loom. With the invention of the loom—even of the simplest kind, such as is still used among American Indian tribes of the southwest—great strides were made in the art of weaving. Our great grandmothers used the hand and treadle loom. This loom was in general use until Dr. Cartwright, an Englishman of whom it was said that he lied never seen a loom in his life, invented the power loom in 1787. Since his day the loom has been altered and im- proved until it has now come to a high state, of perfection. The Singing Shovel. Recently a coal shovel hanging on the wall of the Fire Brigade station at Kalmar, Sweden, suddenly assum- ed the role of a local entertainer, and began to speak, sing, and play! The greaten were puzzled, and af- ter a closer investigation it appeared that the shovel's performance syn-. chrouized with the sending of the lo- cal wireless broadcasting station, In some peculiar manner the shovel acted as an ordinary wireless apparatus It was found that It was suspended 011 the wall in sdch a posi- tion that it touched the power line of the Kalmar wireless station, and that it reproduced. clearly and dis- tinctly everything sent out from that station, Wireless experts, however, have been unable se far to give a satisfactory explanation of the occur- renoe. Linen Airplanes. Metalized linen, a new tabrie, may 'bring about a complete change in the construction of aircraft. It has a .teh- silo strength of over 1,800 pounds per foot width, end is very light. An airplane half the present weight, yet considerably stronger, could be tonstrdcted from such a fa - brie, it is said, while petrol tins for an Atlantic flight could be made of motalised material lighter than the thinnest aluminium. one end of the kraal. At the other end, fac•inp us, the old chief sat in state. The crowd, six figures deep, stretched between us, a big semi- circle of black skins and flashing teeth, and brandished shields and assegais. Then the dance started. Two by two in turn, starting from the chief's end of the semi -circle, they came for- ward into the open and danced, clap- ping their hands and stamping their feet to the monotonous chanting of the chorus behind. It was a tedious business and yet their movements had a curious grace and rhythm that almost byponotized us. Last of all in the long row were the chief's son and his betrothed who stood side by side. As they came for- ward to the sounds of renewed clap- ping of hands and furious beating of feet, intermingled with shouts of wel- come, the first wife followed, and as they danced together, oblivious of her, clapped first the one and then the other upon the shoulders, patting them and showing by every sign and token her delight at her man's In- creased happiness and status, Her joy was not all on his account either, for we spoke to her after- wards and she explained that her hus- band's acquisition of a second wife promoted her to the position of chief wife in his kraal, while the new wjfe would have all the work to do and would have to wait upon her. The dancing over, two burly Zulus carried in a great three-legged kaffir pot and set it in the middle of the open space, and tate old chief came forward. Black legs astraddle, he bent to the task of stirring the beer with a great wooden spoon. At the prospect of beer to come, the onlookers became somewhat noisy, and dancing was continued in small isolated groups, while rough musical instruments were brought out, and evident pre- parations were made to make a might of it. Someone suggested that was a good time to take our departure, a sug- gestion as promptly vetoed. To leave at that juncture would be to offer Irretrievable insult. Sure enough, be- fore even the chief had tasted the mixture in the great kaffir pot, he ladled out with his own august hands a calabash full of the sour, refresh- ing concootfon, and we drank in turn to the health of the happy couple. A Hill Goes IVandering. A wandering Alpine mountain is reported from the southern province of Carinthia—the "Petzen Massif," at Lolbaoh, near Bleibach, which the torrential rains seem to have under- mined. Another theory is that the moving of the mountain has been caused by the recent earthquake. At the village of lenterort, near Feistritz, in the same province, a marked subsidence has occurred, For ten days, according to reports, big larches were torn from the soil and thrown to the ground with a tremen- dous crash. Everywhere springs have broken out of the ground, lifting the earth, while big rocks have been loosened, thundering down the hill- sides to disappear in the mud. The inhabitants of the surrounding dis- tricts have been obliged to leave their homes. What Do Birds 'Oat at North Pole?
