The blood of birds offers some data for thought not found in the blood of any other class of animals. The blood corpuscles .are shaped differently, being oval instead of round; but this is not the difference to which I refer. Birds' blood is several degrees warmsr than that of other animals. To man Buch a temperature of the blood as birds possess would be a fever. This high temperature causes molecular changes in the tissues &nd brain to take place more rapidly, which would cause the consumption of jniore food, and brain activity would b4 more intense, so that for the same amount of work a smaller brain would meet all the requirements, which at a lower temperature would require one of greater size.?The Phrenological Journal.

Rock Upon Which Buildings Stood Became Detached and Caused the Disaster?Water Had Eaten Under the Stone Until the Great Mai* Plunged Outward?Loss of Life is Heavy. Rome (By Cable).?A. terrible disaster has occurred at Amalfl, the popular tourist resort on the Gulf of Salerno. About 2 o'clock an enormous rock, upon which stood the Cnppuccini Hotel, slid bodily into the sea with a deafening roar, and I WllUUUltt UiUUiOUk 9 wamiuf;, i.aiijiiih imwu , it the hotel, the old Capuchin Monastery below, the Hotel Santa Calerina, and several villas. Many people were buried in the debris, which crushed four vessels to the bottom ot the sea, destroying their crews. The mass of earth which slipped was about 50,000 cubic yards. The population is in a state of terror, fearing fresh calamities. Troops soon arrived upon the scene and began rescue work. It is believed that the loss of life is heavy, including a number ot monks and the occupants of the hotel. Amalfl is a small but lively town of 7000 inhabitants, situated at the entrance ox a deep ravine, surrounded* by imposing mountains and rocks of the most picturesque forms. Tbe Capuchin Monastery was founded in 1212 by Cardinal Pietro Capuano for the Cistercians, but came into possession of the Capuchins in 1533. The building, which stood in the hollow of the great rock that rose abruptly fr^m the sea to e height or 300 feet, contained flue cloisters and a charming veranda, and offered magnificent points of view. The town is mentioned for the first time historically in the sixth century, when it enjoyed the protection of the Eastern Emperors. In the twelfth century the sea began gradually to undermine the lower portions, and a terrible inundation in 1313 proved still more disastrous.

Jeruia Jem, Lake fi., 41-52?Golden Text Luke 11., 52?Memory Verge?, 49-52-. Commentary on the Lesson. 41. "Thft Passover." There were three principal feasts of the Jews. The Passover in April, the Pentecost near the first of June, and the feast of the Tabernacle# in October. Ail males over twelve years of age were required to attend tbese feasts unless they had a legitimate excuse. Tho attendance of women was not required, but had been recdmmended. The Pussover extended through a whole week, and was of a most joyful character, in commemoration of the departure of the Hebrews from the land of Egypt, and of the preservation of their first-born when the first-born of the Egyptians were slain. Tho name expresses the design of the celebration. The destroying angel "passed over' the Hebrews. 42. "Twelve years old." At the age of twelve a Jewish boy became "a son of tho Jaw," and came under the obligation of obeying all its precept?, including attendance at the Passover. It is probable that this was the flrat time that Jesus had been In Jerusalem at this feast. . 43. "j&tf'faiailed the days." Eight'daye in all, on?tbe Passover, and seven the days alJow^i^m(^Bp^^?HDE^tea?oont of liberty of ael3Kgrail9sFW?>uts who ;haa never kno^j^^^^.iransgress tboir qf^the woipi^whe^^^fe&ools of the 'doubt, He bad been versed from earliest years. .They never heard one so young, nor Indeed their greatest doctor*, talk sense atThe rate He did. He gave them a taste of His divine wisdom and knowledge, 48. "Have sought Thee sorrowing." Being not only troobM.d that we lost Tlree, but vexed nt ourselves for not takiDg more care of Thee. The word here rendered sorrowing is expressive of the most racking anguish. 49. "How is It that ye sought Me." This is no reproachfnl question. It i3 asked ln all the simplicity and boldness of holy childhood. He is apparently astonished that He should have been sought, or even thought of, anywhere else, than in the Elaqe which He felt to be properly His ome. "Wist." Know. "About my Father's business." See R. V. In my Father's house unnecessarily narrows the luiness oi tne expression. .Better: m iuo things or affairs' of my Fattier, in that which belongs to His honor and glory. 50. "Understood not." They did not yet understand His mission.- His first recorded utterance is too deep for them. Jesus was a mystery to His parents, and He has been a mystery to the world ever since. His birth. His growth and development, the truths He taught and the life He lived?disclosing both the human and divine natures?are all too great , for our comprehension. Christ can only be known as the Spirit reveals Him uato us. His simplest words and illustrations como to us freighted down with a depth of meming that the natural mind cannot fathom* People reject because they do not understand Him, and they fail to understand because they close their eyes and will not see. 51. "Went down with them." Ifhisbeart drew him to the temple, the voice of duty called him back to Oalilce; and. perfect even in childhood, he yielded implicit obedience to this voice. You do not read of any ambitioo in Jesus Christ to be independent; you do not find biro remonstrating or murmuring against the restrains of home, and/beginning to remind himself or others that the time nad como for selfmanagement and self-concern. Let the youth of to-day consider this well. "Was subject unto tbem." There is something 1 l\oi>AnH mnnonro In fhrt fhftnollf of Hfra uuto whom all things are subject submitting to earthly parents. No such honor was ever done to angels as was now done to Joseph and Mary. "In her heart." Expecting that hereafter they would be explained to her and she would know now to make use of them. That which at first is so dark that we know not what to make of it may afterward become plain and easy. 52. "Jesus increased in wisdom and stature." In the perfection of His divine nature thero could be no increase, but this is spokeu of Hi? human nature. His body increased in stature, and His soul In wisdom and in all the endowments of a humus spirit. .He confined Himself strictly to religion. Iu this department, unlike all others, He was absolutely original and independent. He taught the world as one who had learned nothing from it and was under no obligation to it, and with an authority which can never be passed by with indifference. Teachings-Jesus was once a child, so that He can be tha children's Saviour, having passed through all thelrexperiences and temptations, yet without slu. Children should be early trained to an interest and nnrtieiDation in the creat rellsrlous move mentJ' and meetings uf their church. Parents should know wliere their children are and what they are doing. Those who are about tbeir Father's business will delight to go to th .Mr Father's house. Great truths ure often not fully understood at first, but, kept in the heart, their truo meaning and applications will unfold.

Peter says: "Chorus your faith." Sustain it with all the well-tuned graces of heaven. The first violin leads in rendering the grand masterpiece of the musical genius. The composition would be grand were the first violin the only instrument to render ft; there would be melody and thrilling chords. But the first violin is not left alone. v& i- -l j __J rrkA 11 J? cuuru.^eu uiiu ousiaiucu. iuo eesond violin takes a part. The third violin takes a part. The Hate takes a part. The deep-toned trumpet takes a part. The bass viol takes a part The rolling drum takes a part. The tinkling cymbal takes a part; And alt together, and in perfect unison, sound out the one grand conception of the one grand mind, and all together chorus the leading instrument. As you listen you are reminded of the words of the Apoealyptist, when be describes the music of lhe skies, and declares thnt it is llko the sound of many waters and the voice of the mighty thunders. Such is the figure of the Apostle Peter. He says: Let the grace of faith lead in the grand song of Life. Let it pour out its clear, triumphant music upon the listening world. Its music is sublime; but compel it not to sing alone. Chorus it Chorus it. Chorus it with boldness. Chorus it with knowledge. Chorus it with self-mastery. Chorus it with steadfast endurance. Chprus it with piety. Chorus it with love for the brethren. Let all the graces pour out their deep-seated and soul-stirring music, so that the listening world may have a large anticipation of the heavenly harmonies and a grand rehear&ul of the song that is sung byjhe choir of the redeemed.?David Gregg, D. D., in The Heaven Life. The Divine Wisdom Always Present. It is one of the missions of grief, to teach . us to understand better the character and the history of our Lord. Until we havfl suffered, His sufferings are but pictures before our minds. They may affect us, nnd even deeply, as a dramatic representation upon the stage brings momentary tears to eyes which will smile again as Boon as the everyday world has been re-entered. But to have suffered ourselves to have drunk of the bitter cup in any form, means to understand in tbe sense of personal comprehension and fellowship something of what the trials and temptations of Jesus meant to Him. Whatever brings him closer to us and us to Him makes more plain tbe beauty and sweetness of His character. The perfectnesa of bis example, the encouragement which ra: diales from every thought of him, this 'uplifts and ennobles us. Truly ibe ministration of grief is to be accepted with thankfulness There is little danger that we shall ' seek suffering. We are not so constituted, but when in the divine providence we are brought face to fuce with distress of any kind, let it be remembered that the divine band is no less powerful for support and guidance, the divine heart no less loving, the divine wisdom no less perfect and pertinent to our needs than when smiling skies were above us and the way of life before us was smooth. Quietly In Ooit'n JTamla. Let us Jie more quietly in the hands of God. Let us think lees of the visible and more of the invisible. Let us not care so much for what is going on upon the surface as what is being wrought down in the great deeps. And so shall wo see that these light afflictions which are but for a moment will work out for us. even here, the most strange and surprising results. We shall. find that they give us a new patience, gentleness, humility and repose. They will bring us a new consideration for others, a diviner charity, a tenderer sympathy. They will ripen us as sun and Bap ripen the fruit on the tree or bring the plant to bloom. And what they will do here, is but a faint bint, a feeble adumbration, of what they will accomplish for us in the long hereafter. They will work out for us afar more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, when we have come ujnjut of our great tribulations.? Charles .Francis uoss. 111 "mis una .susses.
