lerenobuonoN—Jeremialit or some
later prophet whose work is included
in the book of Jeremiah (chaps, 50-
51) , compared t e king of Assyria and
-Nebuchadnezzar, king of Bahyloe,
with fierce beasts of prey which had
devoured Israel and broken his bones,
and the latter with a dragon which
had swallowed up Israel and then cast
him forth, 50: 1'7; 51: 34. The refer-
ence is unmistakably to the captivity
of Israel and Judah. in Assyria and
Babylonia and to the release and re-
turn of the exiles after the conquest
of Babylon by Cyrus. Them is an
explicit prediction of such a return in
50: 18-20. It would seem that some
large hearted Jewish writer of the
first or second century after the re-
turn used a similar figure in writing
the book of Jonah. Jonah he uses to
represent Israel, refusing to exercise
his prophetic mission to the Norld, the
mission of teaching Jehovah's 'ways
and establishing universal peace (Isa.
2: 1-4), or of bearing the covenant
blessing and the light of deliverance
to all oppressed nations, Ise. 42: 1-17;
49: 6. The eastern empires which
conquered and. enslaved Israel are rep-
eeesented by the great fish, and the re-
turn of Israel to his own land te the
i. °wilting forth of Jonah upon the dry
land. Israel's keen desire :o see the
nations which had opposed him pun-
ished, and his -rediction of ruin to
these nations, are well represented by
Jonah's preaching in Nineveh, and by
his discontent and anger at the non-
fulfilment of his prediction of the de-
struction of that city. The book closes
-with a rebuke 'o the narrow spirit of
-national selfishness, and a most im-
pressive lesson of the all-embeacing
mercy of God.
1. REFUSING THE CALL OF GOD, chap. 1.
Jodah, the son of Amittai, is men-
tioned elsewhere only once. In the
brief account of Jeroboam IT. and his
reign, iu 2 Kings, 14: 23-29, he is said
to have foretold the extension of the
kingdom of Israel "from. the entering
in of Ilamath (in the north) to the
sea of the Arabah (in the S'D,uth)." Of
his call to be a prophet and his mis-
sion to. Nineveh we know wiling ex-
cept what is told us here in the book
f jonah. The book is quite evidently
not written by him, but rather about
him. There may have been current in
later centuries uire such story as is
here told 'bleb. the writer ter this book
"The love of God is broader
Than the measure of man's mind;
And the heart of the eternal
Is most wonderfully kine."
THE TRUTH ABOUT HENPECK
We all pity Mr. Henpeck a bit. Quite
unnecessarily, according to a well-
knoWn authority OIL children, Dr. C.
W. Kinunine.
According to him, most henpecked
husbands are really "hen -protected."
As small boys they relied entirely on
their mothers. When they grew up
and married they expected their wives
to look after them, make decisions for
them, and generally act as the "pre-
dominant partner."
This may explain a good many
cases of henpecked husbands, but does
it explaM them all? If there are gent-
ly submissive men, who want to be
under authority. there are also master-
ful women who expect to rule.
But, after all, doesn't every wife do
that? The only difference between a
henpecked husband and one who isn't
is that the former knows his wife is
running the show. The other doesn't,
but his wife gets her ONVI1 way just
the same.

What New York Mother Earth Beats
is Wearing Like Human Heart
BY ANNABELLE WORT:e8I8N:T:Nr_ New Doctrine Of Evolution Propound -
//lustre ted Dreeentalaing ed by Chicago Astronomer.
vishod With Ever etAlbany, NX..—The Albany F4 v era rtg
1attern News publishes a new theory of the
evolution of the universe, advanced by
Professor Benjamin Boss, director of
the Dudley Astronomical Observatory
of this city, before the American As-
tronomical Society in Chicago recent-
ly.
Working with scientific observations
gathered by astronomees and geo-
physicists since the beginning of as-
stronomical observations, Professor
Boss has placed the entire mechanics
of the evolution of the universe into
one scheme. The general conclusions
he has reached are that:
The earth is constantly pulsating,
like a human heart. In these heart-
beats are born oceans, mountains, vol-
canoes, earthquakes.
The contraction and expansions of
the earth's pulsatio e is caused by. the
sun's bombardment of the earth with
electrons. In the electronic charges
come the winds, the storms, northern
lights, and other natural phenomena.
Ice and tropical ages have been
caused by the passage of the suit'
through a cosmic dust of greater or
lesser potential.
Iceland tropical ages have,theen
caused by the passage of the sun.
through a cosmic dust of greater or
lesser potential.
The stars have a distinct evolution
—a life cycle. They begin in the
birth of an atom and atoms form into
cosmic. dust which collect into clouds
or nebulae. The clouds condense and
form giant red stars which pass on.
to the yellow giant elars, and losing
mass through radiation, pass to yel-
low dwarf stars and from the -e to the
red dwarf stage.
While Professor Boss has actual ob-
servations to support this theories of
the mechanics of the earth, he says
that his theory of the evolution of the
universe is somewhat speculative, al-
though a vast field of investigation
has been openel by his demonstration
of penetrating radiation from the sun.

There are many excellent exercises:.
We read or. them. in papers, hear them

It is found that this is not necessarY,
in fact it is sometimes harmful.

Why?
Because you cannot reduce just by
exercise alone. What should be re-
membered is the fact that with the in-
creased exercise, which should' not be
too strenuous; the intake of food. must
not be increased, so that in this way
the body will draw on the surplus body
fat for fuel. Everyone knows the great
value of the daily walk, or a swim,.

ing exercised, but do not start on too

"The public err profoundly with re-

in hot weather, while a severe spell of
frost always calls forth the remark
that the polar bears will enjoy them-

It is nct quite ease to understand
the language of this prayer as pro-
ceeding from a man in a whale's belly.
It is true that he might hays described
himself as in the "belly or hell," or
rather Sheol (as margin RN.), and
as in "the depth, in the heart of the

WHAT THE SAILOR READS
There seems to be a suggestion of
the "busman's holiday" about the fav-
orite reading of sailors. According
to the British Sailors' Society, which
runs the Ocean Library Service for
Merchant Seamen, travel books are,
after fiction, the most in demand in
the sea -going iibearies.
In fiction, "thrillere" are the most
popular form of story, mystery tales
of the sea being especially in demand.
Among the standard authors who are
strong favorites, Joseph Conrad and
Robert Louis Stevenson, who both
wrote sea stories, have places of
honor.
A standard ocean library consists
of a selection of books, including bio-
graphy, history, travel, essays, poetry,
science, and fiction. It is contained
in an oak cabinet. Libraries can be
exchanged at the principal British
ports and also on the Continent and
overseas.
Last year 203 new libraries were is-
sued and 1,084 were exchanged. They

Matanzas, uba.—The sinking of a
6,000 -foot metal tube into Metanzas
Bay in connection with an experiment
to create power from sea water was
accomplished successfully by Georges
Claude, French scientist and inventor
in charge of the experiment It was
the third attempt to sink a tube into
the bay.
The tube was slowly shoved out into
the bay, 'each 150 feet of pipe being
supported by four pontoons. When
the full length was in the water the
pontoons were removed one by one
and the tube sank beneath the waves.
Divers then descended and inspected
the tube, announcing it was resting
safely on the ocean floor.
Prof. Claude's experiment involves
bringing huge quantities of cold water
from the bay to the surface, where it
is pumped to large tanks on the shore.
The tanks are filled partially with
warm surface water from the gulf
stream, which is brought to the boiling
point when the tanks are subjected to'
an exhaustion of air, creating steam
to operate a turbine. The cold water
is used solely to cool the tanks, re-
duce the steam and perpetuate the
operation.

sista.nce of the Cuban Government;
