INTRODUCTION—The story of the
crucifixion is given in considerable de-
tail in each of the Gospels, Matthew
and Mark are very much alike in their
treatment, but we find that ti narra-
tives in Luko and John add many new
features. Therefore if we wish to get
a complete storyof this great crime of
the world, we must read the four Gos-
pels and include all the narratives.
COLGOTIOA, 33-18,
V. 33, The actual site of this is un-
known, but it was evidently outside
the walls of the city, but not far away.
The name is explained as duo est

discovered on the hill, or to the
pearane, of the rock, The traditio
site is the place where now stands
church of the Holy Sepulchre, but so
years ago General Gordon mgges

whose form suggested the outline of
a skull. This has beer, called Gordon's

V. 34, Maris mentions myrrh instead
of gall, lloth of these have the pro-
perties of a drug, and it was custom-
ary to give sons such drink to crim-
inals in order to deaden the pain, It
Is said that there was an association
of wealthy women in Jerusalem w
charged themselves with this office
refuses to accept 'he oered drug, si
oaring for such criminals. But Jes
refused to accept the offered dru
since he desires to face his trial with
clear mind.
V. 35. It is pro'iable that the oro
was after the Latin form as one se
it in most of the pictures of the Cru
fixior. It would be about ten fe
high. This form of execution was
very painful and very shameful. It
was reserved for slaves and provin-
eiels who were regarded as especially
nn nal,
The garments of the prisoner were
supposed to be ',he perquisite of the
soldiers who were in charge, Prom
John 19: 23, we learn that the outer
garments were distributed among the
Wren, but the inner garment which was
made of very fine cloth was kept in-
tact; and they cast lots for it.
V. 3(i• The soldiers sit down and
watch lest any one should come and
attempt to take Jesus down from the
cross,

V, 39. Matthew mentions three dif-
ferent classes of revilers. (1) The
y :finery onlookers There wan evident-
ly a crowd of curious observant such as
frequented these executions. They
were as heartless as most crowds, ani
they now catch up the charge which
had been laid against Jesus before the
Jewish court that he had said Le would
destroy the temple and build it again.
These people now taunt hien and his
incompetence. They cannot conceive
of anything else than that a man
would try to save himself if Inc could.
Just as in the temptation the devil
Said, "If thou art the Son of God," so
here th3 people make the same cynical
suggestion.
V. 41. (2) The chief priests and
'scribes represen'. the aristocratic and
educated classes among the Jews, and
they had been the agents in bringing
about the death of Jesus, They now
exult in the susses,, of their labor, and
they add this further evidence of their
hatred, in that they knock him in his
moments of intense agony. They had
asked Pilate to place on the cross, "He
said he was the king of the Jews," and
now they fling this taunt at him, "If
thou he the king of Israel"
V. 43, These words may be taken
from Ps. 22: 8, and once again there
is an attempt to mock at his divine

High Power Broadcasting
Gives Engineers Victory
Over Summer's Atmos-
pheric Noises
Summer is no longer a bugaboo of
radio. Static, the demon radio list-
eners have known ainq.e the first
signal flashed through the ether, still
crackles and roars during the hot
months, but Its rumblings are grow-
ing weaker, The dream of tiro radio
engineer that It may be elhninated
entirely has not been realized, but step
by step It has been driven into the
background.
This year, in contrast to the past,
radio listeners are not likely to let
batteries run down and dust accu-
mulate 011 the dials, because programs
will remain up to the Winter stand-
ard, and In the majority of cases re-
ceiving equipment now in use will
bring in entertainment without inter-
ruption.
A multi( ude of factors is responsi-
ble for year-round radio. Broadly
they may be summed up in a phrase
—improvement of transmitters and
receivers. Ten years ago, 500 watts
were regarded as high power for a
broadcaster. To -day 50,000 watts are
considered as high power.
This multiplication of transmitting
power has the same effect upon the
old-style sets as upon the new. It
increases line signal level over tine
noise level. The result is that, with
any type of receives', programs should
be easily audible at all times at "peat
fifty miles from e broadcaster. The
majority of receiving sets are bellei+ed
to be within this distance.
Another improvement in reception
brought about at the tranamlttiug
station is that in modulation. A
greater proportionn of the energy radi-
ated Is now modulated, which means
that under modern radio engineering
practice a greater proportion of the
electrical energy that is used in broad-
casting actually comes out of the
loud -speaker in the form of voice m•
music.
The radio engineer cannot claim a
complete victory, because an electri-
cal storm directly overhead can still
mangle even a strong program; but
the day is past when almost any
electrical disturbance can turn a pro-
gram Into what sounds like a major
artillery engagement.
Greater eiflciency at the receiving
end centres in two fields of develop-
ment, shaper tuning and better tubes.
The sharper the tuning, the narrower
tine wave length band upon which
static can effect a receiver, and the
lower the volume of static. Improv-
ed tubes, notably the screen grid,
have helped to achieve finer tuning.
These are by no means the only.
Innprovements. Others, such as vis-
ual tuning devices and a sensitivity
control which automatically cuts down
the volume of excessively loud signals,
have come to the assistance of the
radio distener. And now, with the
increasing use of radio-pinouograph
combinations, even the most violent
thunder storm cannot rob listeners of
Summer musical entertainment,

Sailor Will Cross
Atlantic in Skiff?
Lisbon.—A Portuguese sailor and
fisherman, who has passed nearly all
his life on the sea, has had a small
skiff constructed on a plan of his own
in which he intends to attempt to
cross the Atlantic, starting from Casa-
blanca in North Africa and landing
at New York.
Mr. Macedo has his own deep -root•
ed opinions, and disagrees with the
assertion nude in a book recently pub-
lished by Alain Gerbault the French
navigator who last year attempted to
cross the Atlantic in a stnall boat, Ac-
cording to the Frenchman the ideal
boat for this crossing must he eight
meters and 50 centimeters in length.
"My skiff," says Mn', Macedo, "is
only six meters fifty long, but this
constitutes no inferiority. Another
essential difference is that while 111r.
Gerbault states that three tons of
lead are necessary to keep the boat
balanlced, I only carry a very small
weight without in any way endanger-
ing the stability of my sluff, owing to
the very special shape of its hulk,
which is a real innovation in sea
craft construction.

Rural Education
In Ontario
Should Agriculture Be Taught
in Rural Public Schools?
This question is not—"Do tho rural
people want agriculture 1;wght In
rural public schools?" Apparently
they do not. But even a majority may
ho wrong, 9'o this we all agree, when
wo happen to be In the minority.
Perhaps the best way to approach
this subject will be in the form of a
debate, and first we will present the
affirmative side of this resolution—
'Resolved, that Agriculture should be
taught in the public schools of rural
Ontario:
The first point to be made is this:
No occupation in Canada requires
more intensive study than agriculture.
Industrial wo'ikers can be trained in
a few weeks to do certain limited me-
chanical dudes rapidly and efficiently,
and for that service they are well paid
—if the job lasts throughout the year,
'I'lney can put in a bolt, connect a wire,
place a gearing, paint 0 section of a
car, in any one of these duties they
are experts; but they are not real me•
chinks,
Farming can never be carried on In
this manner. A good farmer must be
an all-round man. Ile must know
stocic well enough to be able to buy
it intelligently, feed it effectively, caro
for it so as to bring it to proper ora•
turity and production, and sell it at
line most profitable moment. He must
know land, and learn the suitability
of the soil for the various crops to be
grown. lie must know fertilizers and
their fitness for his purpose. He must
be acquainted with seeds both pure
and impure, lie mast learn crow to
prevent the growth of weeds, or eradi-
cate them from the soil where they
have gained a foothold. IIe must be
familiar with pests, the damage they
clo, the tanner in which they operate,
and the simplest, cheapest and most
efficient method for their destruction.
He must be a carpenter, a blacksmith,
a mechanic, and a good horseman, He
must bo active and industrious. Above
all, Inc must be proud to do his work
well, and produce crops and sleek
which aro reliable, and which will do
him credit,
No farmer can learn all these timings
without training, either by reading, or
school instruction; because new prob•
lours are constantly arising, and new
methods are constantly becoming
necessary with the rapid increase of
machinery and the rapid decrease of
farm laborers.
In advocating tlne teaching of agrl•
culture in the public schools of rural
Ontario, it is not necessary that the
subject be elaborately taught, At first
it would be well to centre it about two
feaures of school work—Use school
These both give ample opportunity for
garden, and the rural school fair,
correct teaching of such matters as:
weed seed impurities, seed testing, int.
proving poultry, snaking flower and
vegetable beds, making a hotbed; and
many other investigations that will
naturally grow out of these studies,
The negative side of the debate can
be manned up under two heads—fu-
experience of the teacher, and lack
of time for extra work during school
how's.
There is some foundation for come
plaint as to the inexperience of teach
ors; and for some reason or reasons
not yet defined very few teachers aro!

of such teachers. 12 teacher and pupils
have an honest desire to learn, they,
will not go far astray, There is ample
information at (hand that is depend.

As to time, much of this work is
done by successful teachers out of
school hours, and the children enjoy
it. Garden plots, well raised poultry,
good calves, pluvnp pigs, expert man-
ual products—thees point to interest-
ed

Agriculture should he taught in the
rural public schools, even if it be in
tine most elementary way, Intelligent
