Lobster Discards Its Shell Quite Frequently Few living creatures have such strik ing habits us the lobster. It begins to molt or discard its outgrown clothes the second day after hatching, and continues to do so with increasing fre quency until It has ceased to-grow at all. When the -old shell becomes too small a new skin begins to grow un derneath it;. When this growth nears completion the lobster becomes a ‘‘shed- der,” ready to past off not only its old shell, but even the lining of its esopha gus. stomach- and intestines. Restless and uneasy as the molt ap proaches, there comes a break where the tail Joins the shell. The lobster then turns over on Its side, bends it self to the shape of a "V,” with the break at the apex. Pressure is applied, and gradually the rear end of the old shell breaks loose from the one be neath. Step by step' the process of liberating the Imprisoned body from its outgrown, Iffinor sweeps forward, _|Until finally the, claws are withdrawn through the narrow openings. Pres ently. with a mighty effort, the lob ster emerges from Its coat of mall, casts off the linings of its .digestive tract and steps out, full-panoplied in a soft new .shell.'—Geographic Maga zine. , x A Recent Passenger “I have been on this train seven years,” said the conductor of a slowly- moving Southern train, proudly.

Human Voice Causes Avalanche in the Alps Avalanches, which in the last few years have caused much damage in the Bernese Oberland, are sometimes.start ed by trivial causes. Even a whisper lias been known to set them off, and lives have been lost by a climber shouting to his companions wliea crossing a snow slope. The starting of an ‘avalanche which a few years ago overwhelmed a cara van of sleighs in an Alpine pass was attributed to the tinkle of sleigh bells, and ever since the use of hells on this route has been prohibited.

JUNIOR TOPIC—A King Who Lost Hla Kingdom. ” - INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Saul’a Hucceasea and Fallurra. YOUNG JPEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Lessons From Saul's Reign; . In order to - properly present this lesson, a survey of chapters 8 to 15 of I Samuel should be made. ' I. The People Demand a King (I Sam. 8:1-22). 1. Their Bensons (vv. 1-5): . (1) Samuel was Incapacitated by old age. (2) The unfaithfulness of his sons whom he had^appointed as his suc cessors. Samuel greatly blundered in this, for the office of judge was not hereditary. (3) The desire to be like other na tions.. Since the surrounding nations had kings as leaders, they wanted a king who would fight their battles. 2. Samuei’s I’roteat (vv. 0-18). He took the matter to the-Lord in prayer and the Lord Instructed him to sol emnly point out to the people the meaning of their action. (1) The king would make slaves of their daughters and make their sons to serve In his army and do all kinds , of hard work on his farms and in his ( house. ’ i (2) He would take their lands, even , those Inherited from their fathers, and give them to his favorite officers and servants. Not content with that/ hs j would take the tenth part of their produce to give to his favorites. 3. Protest Disregarded (vv. 19-20). Having, made up their minds, they de liberately shut their eyes to tfie truth and madly rushed Into the experiment. II. Saul Chosen as King (I Sam. 9-11). r " 1. The King Pointed Out (9:1-10:16). Saul was sent to search for his fa ther’s asses that had wandered away. While on this errand, Samuel* found him and anointed him. Saul and his father were acting freely in this mat ter, yet at the same time God’s pur pose was being carried cut. 2. The King Chosen at Mlzpeh (10:17-27). Saul was chosen because of his fitness. If they would have a king, the Lord gave them the one best fitted for their needs. (1) A fine physique. He was head and shoulders a&ove the rest of the people, v (2) Modesty. (3) Self-control. (4) Military Instinct. The method of choice was by lot. When the choice was made, part of the people enthusiastically cried, “God save the king.” Others mocked and refused allegiance. III. The King Confjrjned at Gilgal (I Sam. 11). Saul took advantage of the great victory over the Ammonites to get all the people to crown him king. IV. Saul's Failure (I Sipn. 15). This Is one of the saddest pictures In all history. 1. The Command to Saul (vv. 1-3). He was commanded to utterly exter minate the Amalekites. The reason assigned was their evil treatment of Israel after they came up out of Egypt Will Your Family Be Happy This Spring? If yours is one of the few remaining families lacking an automobile, no doubt you have finally decided to get one within the next four months.

The Judgment Upon Saul (vv. 26-35),. For the presumptuous offering of the sacrifice, the dynasty passed from Saul’s house, and for this act of flagrant disobedience, the kingdom was rent from him. He confessed his sin and begged Samuel to still honor him before the elders of the people/ Samuel forsook him and left him alone to suffer In disgrace. < To Aid Unemployed In order to provide employment for ex-service men in and around Mobile, Ala., members of the American Legion In that city have arranged with twnt newspapers to carry advertising In'the “Situations Wanted' - column for local veterans without charge.
