Ichabod's brother, the son of Phine.has, the son of Eli-Ichabod is referred" to in 1 Sam. 4. 21. When the wife of Phinehas, the son of Eli, gave birth to a son, it was just at the erne when the ark of the Lord had been taken by the Philis- tines. She celled th,e name of her boy, therefore, Ichabod, whioh means "no glory," or, as it is ex- plained,' "the glory is departed from Israel" (1 Sam. 4. 39-22). As Iehabod was the son of Phinehas, who was one of the 002)6 of Eli, he was, therefore, the grandson of Eh, and was not se much younger than Samuel, This inearre that about fifty yeers had passed from the time when the met of the Lord was taken by the Philistines to the time when Ionetenn scaled the heights of Michmash.

Reason Why Some Can See in the Lim*. It is commonly supposed that cats and some other animals are gifted in a way bh,at, enablee them • to see in perfectly dark pieces where it is impossible for the hu- man eye to diseern anything. This is only pertly true, however. In a reelly dark room a eta ean see nu more -been a human being. In seinirearknese, though, a cat con see more, bemuse of a distinctive difference in their eye formation. The eye of a normal person auto- matically adjusts itself, in the ea - laming and contracting ef the pu- pil, to make it possible Co see die- tinctly in different degrees of light. When We go from at darkened room out into the bright sunlight the eyes blink and scennt until the pupils have 'contracted sufficiently to accommodate the eyes to the quateity of light. And in going from the bright light into a .deek- ened roue1 we cuenot see clearly until the pupils hare expanded te bake in all the light possible. The advantage - thet cats and some animals have is time the pu- pils of their eyes are mike larger and can expand so ae to take in more light than the human eye. In places that may seem quite dark to 'fitinum beings there may be more light than can be taken in by the eyes of the enimals, and this accounts -for the superior gift with which they are credited. In an absolutely clark room the cat or any other animal hatno advantage. Some people would rather be happre lean good. ••••••••••, DEALT CRUSHING BLOWS Russians, by Flank Attack in Carpathians, Take 4,000 Prisoners A despetell `from Loneen sere; While the Germans ame launching e new often sive movement against the Rusoian front et North Poland., the Ruseians have inititieee 15 eerie* of crushing eounter-blows against the Austro -German knees in the Car- pathians and Ease Galicia, with disastrotis resselte for the enemy, accoreing ticelleisske official atate- 131,613t8 from Petrograd.
