Three deaths made three widov.'n and serious personal problems must be faced by these women. It is too of ten that way in life as it is met twJay. Women must meet the situation in which the men place them. Naomi does the natural thing in planning return to her own land and kindred. The daughters-in-Iaw, following custom, go with her for a distance and then plan to take their leave. In Oriental fashion they enter into" a'lengthy dis cussion and even offer to go back with the mother-in-law.

In time we find that a new home has been established and Ruth is able, tu^ croon bftby^ Obed, who ;be<'onies the grandfather of David. Thus Ruth is.in the ancestry of none other than Jesus* the Son of Mary. When we learn the good in others there is no place for race prejudice which so many seem to cultivate in adult life.

W'hen we took the old board off we found that black ants had eaten away the heavy timber which forms the sill of the house itself, for a distance of several feet. We took out more than two quarts of ants and about a pint of ant eggs, and then had the expen sive job of fitting a new timber in place. The war between man and Insects is relentless and unceasing. Along the country roads near my home 1 fre quently meet this summer the U. S. department of agriculture “bug men” Who are spraying trees in the effort to get rid of the Japanese beetle, our newest insect pest. I found a great colony, of tent moths in an old pas ture beyond my woodlot. A new pest is beginning to ea^ ug ^ak and maple trees up our wa.v;.linother is destroy ing the willows along the brook and river. Most of the.se pests, like the gypsy moth which is killing the New Eng land elms, and the chestnut blight, which has destroyed every chestnut tree in the East, are imported. The I government maintains a plant quar-l antine, but every now and then some' new pest slips across the border. frEssurk Ice'"which will not melt at a tem perature of 180 degrees is the latest scientific curiosity. It has been pro duced by Professor P. W. Bridgman of Harvard university. All that is nec- j j essary to keep ice from melting under f ja flame is to subject it to a pressure I of 21*0,000 pounds to the square inch, j Professor Bridgman’s experiments with high pressures have given many surprising results. Many familiar sub stances change their characters under pressure, much as human beings do. j Thirty-nine different metals become ^ better conductors of electricity. Some J jjof the changes persist after the pres sure is removed. W’hat is the good of such experi ments? Science doesn’t know nor care. Science is content to discover new facts, leaving it to inventord to apply them to human uses. ■-.
