And next morning, lin the grey light, the men who had !been touched by the thought of home !and the dear ones there, and the big throbbing thought of consecration, were marching off to grip the very hand of death, in sacrifice, like Christ's, for others. The scene was repeated with a difierence at another spot, where in a big marquee the mem- hers of the Y,M•C.A. had been selling tea and coffee, "We are going aft to morrow," said a fine lad from Cheshire. "Give us communion that we may remember when we go that high ideals rail us." ft was a difficult thing, Piet for a moment, to decide whether i, that tent wl.er•e men were. r1—emelitily eating and drinking at the counter it ld be held, or in some place apart. lnstinctively 'I said; "Yoe, Here," Amidst the Clatter So a rude communion table was ]made of boxes heaped together as our fathers would heap stones together in the moors. Covered with a white linen cloth, we laid upon that table. . ,the little chalice of silver, with the 'flagon of red wino, and the bread itrpon its platter, expecting eight men 4;0 partake. But the tent filled and hushed, and filled to overflowing; and 'even outside men stood and peered 1n through the seams. And we began, as ever, with the twenty-third psalm of consecrated , memory. Again and again, and again, the chalice and plat- ter eame back for replenishing. Men raised their droopingheads and stretched out their hands for the sacred symbols, Away up in the trenches; and about the region of La Bassee, red blood, as .red as Christ's was enriching the soil of Prance; and the .1 -marts that were beating here might soon be still, en the long graves yonder. A breath of mystery seemed to sway them in that tent, and still that 'quiet urgency 5or more came up, until over three hundred men, Whose faces ,to -morrow Would be set toward the battle, had partaken of the sacrament of sacrifice that linked us to God and our homes across the 'ilea.

'ter," said: "It is the intention of the allies to destroy Germauy'a commerce and cut of her food supplies from abroad. In my opinion we have al- ready accomplished a great deal in this direction, We have absolutely paralyzed the German export, trade,. .German credit abroad is rapidly sink- ing'and her imports are decreasing. "As you know, Germanyis forced' to rely upon'neutral ,neighboring 'coun- tries for her food supplies from abroad 'at a time when she cannot possibly produce, enough food at Home. Tlie' Y1oat•.difhculty we meet is to distin' guish between the imports which are itltended' for consuhnption in the neat eat country tind those which by devious,' ways :are smuggled into the enemy's country: Whether we adopt what is known as a regular blockade or con, tiude to strengthen the measures which we have alreacly'taken, this:dit- feultyremains the same. "You Will probably agree that while we are justified in'destroying the Coln-', Snerce of Germany, it is equality true. that we must respect the rights of•anl neutral countries, it ,we do not Want to sink perilously near to the ,level ofGernany in the eyes of the civilized';' world.

Banana bunches often 'hide poisonous reptiles and insects which travel long distances, only to bite or sting the hand of some receiver of fruit. Often they escape alive and 'breed their their kind. Many venomous snakes have thus been introduced into lands where none existed before. Strange, creatures have beenimported on the blooms of orchids, and West Indian trisects have travelled in Easter, lily blossoms. Destructive moths migrate in fruit ships. Flying insects often follow ships, One curious case was that of a vessel from the tropics fol Iowecl by a swarm of butterflies. Out of sight of the shore, they hid in the tablas and holds, emerging forty days later when the ship reached !England, Thus originated quite a new species of butterfly in 111e British Isles.
