And the word of Jehovah came un- to Jonah the second time. It is al- ways God's way to give men second chances; and indeed not only a sec- cond chance; but a second chance of- ten renewed. (Saying) Arise, go unto 'Ninevah, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. 'Jonah's call is repeated, except that it is taken for granted that Ire will remember the terms of his first call (Jonah 1:2), and cry against Ninevah's wickedness. So Jonah arose, and went unto Ninevah, accordng to the word of Je- hovah. ' It was a long journey across the desert, about 800 miles ,and prob- ably the prophet walked the entire distance. Now Ninevah was an ex- ceedingly great city. Literally, "a , city great unto God," signifying that even God would call it great, and al- pso that its greatness was due to God, as all greatness is. Of three days' journey. The meaning of this is. doubtful. Dioclorus Siculus asserted that Ninevah was an irregular quad- rangle about sixty miles in circuit, which would be three days' journey, encircled by a t5rall one hundred feet high and broad enough for three chariots to be driven along it side by side. This would give us a city one day's journey acrosso- twenty miles. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey. This certainly looks as if Ninevah was three days journey in diameter,. in spite of, what is said above; but 'Aortic commentat- ors understand that this day's jour- eny was in a zigzag rousse, from one suburban market square to' another, and not in a straight line, while oth- er scholars think that the day's jour - nu took Jonah clear across the city,. from the West side, where he would enter, to the east side, where we find hint hi the next' chapter, Jonah 4:5. And he cried, anti said, Yet forty days, and Ninevah shall be over- thrown. Jonah left it. to each con- science to decide why the .proud city should be destroyed': because of its worldliness, because of its cruelties, because of its licentiousness, because of its reeking idolatries. And the pcoplc of Nineveh belicv- ed God, They believed God's word of warning, spoken through Jonah., And they proclaimed a fast. basting everywhere and at all times is a syrn- bol of.sorrow and repentance. Ab- 'stinetic° from ?trod gives a .clearer 1 mind, better able to see the truth and to recognize one's sinfulness. And put on sackcloth, from. 'the 'greatest of them even, to the least of • them Christcompared: the men of His gen- eration ,unfavorably with the,- people of Nineveh (Matt. 12:41), for He was greater than Jonah and His hearers did 'not repent like the Ninevites: And God saw their works, that they 'turned from their evil ways. The Lord would not be moved by their cries and prayers unless ithey proved their repentence by giving up their wickedness. And God repented of the evil which he said he would do unto their; and he did it not. God's turning to mercy was Made possible by the people's turning from sins. JONAH'S DISPLEASURE But it displeased Jonah exceeding- ly, and he was angry. Instead of re- joicing over the . repentance of the Ninevites enabling God to forgive them, Jonah was angry because God did not, in spite of their repentance, fulfil the threatened doom, and so substantiate Jonah's prophecy. It was a wholly selfish anger. And he ,prayed unto jehovah. It was not a real prayer, but only a bit- ter and peevish complaint. Are not smile of our prayers of this nature? And said, I pray thee, 0 Jehovah, was not this my saying, when 1 was yet in my country? This is very pre- posterous, but very human: a man daring to say to the Almighty, "I told you sol" Therefore I hastened to flee unto Tarish. Not through cowardice, Jonah would have God un- derstand, but because he felt that God was sending hiin onan errand which God would render barren of doom to the heathen! For I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lov- ingkindness, and repentest thee of the evil. Jonah's harsh spirit looked on these beautiful attributes of God as elements of weakness in the divine character: the Almighty was too easy-going to punish the wicked! Therefore, now, 0 Jehovah, take, I beseech thee, mnylife.frorn me; for it is better 'for me to die than to live. jonah would rather die than share with a heathen nation the love of God which he held to be the rightful possession of his own people, the Is- raelites. And Jehovah said, Doest thou well to be angry? Is your anger reason- able? The Lord.- deals gently with the prophet, as a mother with a peev- ish chili. Then ,Jonah, went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city. There was a range of hills on the east side of Ninevah, and Jon- ah probably took his position on one of these, overlooking the city, where he might see the lightnings of the divine wrath fall and consume it, if afler all God should decide to fulfil 'His prophecy. And there made hien a booth. A loosely woven hut of boughs, probably similar to those us- ed in Jerusalem at the feast of taber- nacle or booths. And sat under it in the shade, till he alight see what would become of the city. "He still expected that some calamity would befall the Ninevites, perhaps with the idea that their repentance would prove so imperfect and temporary that God would punish „theta after all." And jehovah God prepared a gourd, Thus Jehovah had "prepared a great fish (Jonah 1:1.7), And made it to come over Jonah, The natur- ally rapid growth being miraculously hastened. That it might be a shade over his head, to deliver hint from his evil case, The leaves of Jonah's booth would speedily wither, and of- fer no shade from the terrible Eeast- ern sun. So Jonah was exceeding glad because of the gourd. In the cooling shade probably some of the heat of Jonah's angel against. God disappeared. But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day. A third of the Almighty's "preparings" or special creations. And it smote the gourd, that it withered, The de- struction might have been caused by a single worth, but more likely by a large number of them rapidly multi- plyingnel'. Ait came to pass, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind. The sirocco. Still another of God's "preparations", Jehovah main- taining his direct control of nature. And the sun beat upon the heats of Jonah, that. he fainted. "Not neces- sarily, ,'he became unconscious,' for he retained his senses sufficiently to wish for death; but, 'he became com- pletely exhausted' (Amos 8: 13)," And requested for himself that he rniglrt die, and said, it is better for me to die than to live. The prb- phei'sdiscouragement over the seem- ing failure of his prophecy was in- tensified by the. intense heat and his exhaustion. And God said. to Jonah, Dost thou well to be angry for the gourd? The Lord -repeats His gentle and patient. quesirion of verse 4; And he said, I do NMI to be angry, even unto death, Jonah' speaks like a . pettticrtt child," wrathful because he cannot have Itis way; 1,4=4I4wf SCIhNCI MDS INDUSTRY Ooncoc:ta Ali Sorts of Climates In Order to ',Fest Products of Factories. British weather, often blamed for its inconstancy, is not nearly var- labie enough for certain industries. Manufacturers producing article With a world-wide sale are forced to concoc- all sorts of cline:«es within the walls of their laboratories' in or- der to test their products in the at- mospheric conditions in which they will be used. new British Industry was recent- ly inaugurated in Worcestershire for the manufacture of porcelain insula- tors, previously a German and Amer- ican monopoly. Many of 'these insu- lators will be used in the Central Electricity Board's scheme for elec- trifying England, and as a single fault inany one of them might mean plunging the whole of Southeastern England 'into darkness, the firm has devised a series of .severe weather tests calculated to ensure that each. insulator will be proof against any prank of the Clerk of the Weather. Dense fog, heavy rain, and even sandstorms have been manufactured iti the laboratories. A tensile strain of 20a tons was applied to the in- sulators before' they snapped, this representing their abitity to survive the strongest -known gale force. The insulators have also endured home- made "thunder and lightning," pro- duced by a dierJiurge of 2,000,000 volts in one-ntillicanth of a second! Telephone manufacturers have to cope with similar problems. Tele- phone apparatus is highly susceptible to climatic conditions, and most of the manufacturing firms concerned have their private "weather factor- ies," ranging from small portable de- vices to a series of large insulated rooms specially equipped for the pur- pose. An official of the Liverpool works of Automatic -Telephone Manu- facturing Co., Ltd., the largest auto- matic telephone manufacturing or- ganization in the British Empire, re- vealed to me some of their weather secrets writes a Ti Bits man. "We have nearly seven million dial telephones in use all over the world and in all climates," he said. Obviously, materials and finishes that will stand up indefinitely in this country will not necessarily endure the prolonged exposure to heat and moisture of countries near the equa- tor. Our greatest foei b t s the mot re 3su in the atmosphere. "Most people do not understand that it is the moisture content of air that makes an atmosphere bearable or -unbearable. For instance, '90 de- grees F. may be aulte pleasant for human beings, or intensely uncom- fortable; this is because in different parts of the world, although the tem- perature of the air is the same, the amount o8 moisture in it varies enor- mously. The higher the temperature, the more moisture it is able to absorb. "When air is charged with its maximum amount of moisture and there is a fall in temperature, some of the moisture is''squeezed out' in the form of dew. Imagine a full sponge gently squeezed, and you have a good idea of what happens to the air in the early hours of the morn, ing when the temperature falls, and dew settles." To observe how telephone appar- atus reacts to extreme conditions, this firm has built a series of tropi- cal rooms. Three are used for con- tinuous experiments. The first two are mainly used for watching 'the effect of a humid atmo- sphere on insulation. One room main- ' tains a high humidity at a high tem- perature, and the other a high hu- midity at a low temperature. The temperature is automatically control- led so that when it reaches a fixed level the heat Is at once switched off; similarly when it has fallen a quarter of a degree F. the heat is applied again. Dry air is passed into these chambers, and is then given the re- quired amount of moisture. . The third room is a chamber of everlasting fog! This is produced by allowing a saturated atmosphere to flow into it at a high temperature, the room itself being at a consider- ably lower temperature so that a con- stant mist, or dew deposit, is formed. In this Turkish bath atmosphere the firm's paints, electroplating, and oth- er finishes ale severely tested. An article kept in this room for a few months endures the equivalent of many years of damp climate, If a piece of clean iron painted with two coats of good paint were placed in the room, it would rust in less than a months Staybright steel in the pol- ished condition, on the other band, remains unaffected. "Why is there no Arctic room?" I asked. "Or don't the Eskimos use the telephone?"'" "We could easily produce frost, snow, and intense cold," he replied, "but the fact is that in any Arctic region where the telephone is instal- led some form of artificial heat is es- sential to human existence, so that the actual apparatus is never expos- ed to the natural elements."

Grading Vegetables One of the greatest factors in the marketing of farm produce and par- ticularly garden vegetables, is assur- ed quality. The public demand for a uniform, graded, sound mature pro- duct in standard attractive containers is becoming yearly more aparent and such products are given preference on the market and command the highest prices. Grades have already been es- tablished for potatoes, onioyrs, turnips emIand celery, and requests are now he-- I ing made for grades of other kinds: of vegetables, particularly cabbage JJ and cauliflower.
