Inquired of Jehovah -If 'he was
to be made king, it would be the
Lord's doing. Ile would not take
matters into his own hands. Hie
inquiry was merle through the
usual way of Urian and Thummim
(see 1 Sem, 10. 22; 23. 6).
Hebron - A place particularly
well adapted for a temporary capi-
tal. It was easy to defend because
of the mountaine. David was
familiar with his eurroun-dings, and
he had many friends there (see 1
Same 30. 31). In the north, the
Philistines and the adherentf
Saul divided th•e suprein•my be-
tween them. The modern name of
Hebron is El Hemel, which means
"The Friend," referring to Abra-
ham, "The friend of God" (2
Chron. 20. 7; Isa. 41. 87 -James 2.
23).
2. His two wives -See 1 Sam. 25.

4. The meat of Sudah easne-The
members of his own tribe. See 1
Sam, 30. 26 for evidence that David
had been in very close friendly
relations with the elders of his
tribe.
Anointed David-Datvid bed been
privately anointed by Samuel (1
Sam. 16. 13). A public ceremony,
as in the ease of Saul (1 Sem. 10.
1; 11. 14, 15), was neceseery.
11 Ris Loving Memory of Jona-
thaa (Verses 4-7).
4. They told Dasid-Thie part of
venae 4 is distinct from the other
part. David evidently had been
making inquiries as to what had
become of the bodies of Saul and
Sonathan.
The meet of Jabeelegilead-If the

David, he would have little diffi-
mete iu extending hie kingdom

therefore, tor his kindly attitude
toward them. This feet, however,
is not to be taken, as lessening his
reel sense of gratitude for their
barite of Saul and Jonothen.
6. Loving kindnese and truth, or
mercy and faithfulness, are earl -
butes of God which ase frequently

REDUCE PARIS-LIGIITS.
New System as Protection Against
Zeppelins.
The street lighting of Paris has
been reduced to the same limit as
that of London, if net to a greater
degree. Careful experiments haws
been matte by aeroplanes aeproech-
ing ths city from a distance and
liyang over it, and regulations
adopted firom the data, thus ob-
tained,
A dirigible flying at a :height of
2,000 yards, it has been fould, can
in clear weather detect the halo of
light crowning Paris from a die-
tanoe of fifty miles. The total num-
ber of lights. (edectrie and gas) in
Paris is 55,000. These will be re-
duced to 16,000 until 10 o'elock at
night (the earliest hoer a Zeppelin
visit is to be expected) and after
that hour to 5,500 only.
This number wild constitute the
alarm lighting and will net be re-
duced if Zeppelins are signalled
from the line of ere, which they
must cross. 40 reach Paris. If they
are signalled as having arrived
near Paris this "teem lighting"
will be reduced to as near zero ae
possible, as quickly as possible, and
then one, will the firemen turn out
ane give the signal.
It has been recognized that it is
useless to give the firemanes bugle
signal as soon as Zeppelins are sig -
trailed as being somewhere around,
as after all the only thing to be
done is to move from the maw
stories to the basement or collet',
which does nob require many min-
utes, even allowing time to put on
&certain amount of clothing, a very
necessary precaution, as few cellars
are ;heated.
The difficulty of ending one's
house in a street where all the
houses are alike end all ;the ligbt is
suppressed is far greater than
would be thought.

Offer Splendid Opportunities to Both Investor and Speculator --
Yield is High,
The outstanding feature of indus-
trial bonds is the high rate of in-
terest which they usually yield,
Taking sell lasses of bonds into
consideration, it is safe to sae that
ne other form a bonded debt pays
to the money lender so much in-
terest on the capital required. The
interest yield is usually niece
higher than cm, (antinomy real es-
tate mortgages, though often the
underlying bonds of a private cor-
poration are a lien on very value-
ble real estate. Industrials stand
at the top of all other bods in
point of high yield,
They Are a Large Class.
Under the category "Industrial
bonds" is included the obligations
of 'all manufacturing and merean-
tile companies of a private charac-
ter. These companies while menu -
lecturing or supplying articles of
use to 'different members of the
cornatimity they serve, do not
meetly supply necessaries like
those supplied by public service
corporations. Operations are oar-
ried on by virtue of a government
charter granted under some one of
the existing Joint Stook Company
Acts.
By reason of the feet that indus-
trial bonds are obligations of pri-
vate companies not supplying pub-
lic servicee, they cannot be re-
garded se having the same element
of permanence about them as the
more gilt-edged bonds dealt with in
previous articles. While many mer-
cantile pursuits, sudh as the mill-
ing end .thipping industries, are
very necessary to the life of the
nation, it cannot be inferred ;that
the debts of all private companies
engaged in such pursuits are al-
ways amply -secured. For this rea-
son it is advisable ;for the prospec-
tive investor in industrials to in-
vestigate for himself the security
behind the bonds he ooetem,plates
purchasing.
Row They Are Secured.
The Rest consideration is the
value of the real estaee, to be de-
termined not from the book cost of
elle property, but based upon en I
independent appraisal is usually
given in the prospectus issued by
bend houses issuing the securities.
If the realty valuation exceeds the
value t 1 the board issue, then the
safety of the principal can scarcely
be questioned. If not, then other
factors must be carefully c,oneid-
ered.
The relation of current or liquid
assets to current liabilities is im-
portant. The fernier should great-
ly exceed the latter, and leave
substantial net quick assets. In
face where ,a careful investment is
being made, the net quick assets
alone should be eufficient iso cover
the bonds.
The earnings of a company bulk
large in considering the safety of
an industrial bond. Whether the
gross is increasing or decreasing
should be carefully noted. The not
earnings of a company should be
sufficient to guarantee payment of
interest and all fixed charges as
weld as providing a sinking fund. A
safe rule is for net earnings to be
about three times the bond inter-
eet.
