D. by descendants of nomads who crossed from Siberia to this continent 20,000 years ago, scientists estimate. This circular "sun temple" could accommodate 1,000 worshippers. In solid masonry of the lower walls Doctor Hewitt's expedition opened ten crypts containing what are thought to be the only undisturbed votive offerings yet found In the Southwest Pneumatic Tired Railway Coach Is Tested The first pneumatic tired railway oar in this country Is pictured shortly after it was delivered to the Reading company ot Philadelphia.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC ? The Best Way to Rest and Play. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC ? The Christian's Rest and Recrea tion. The topic of today's leuson Is rather a strange one to attempt to set to the texts selected by the lesson committee. By leisure Is meant freedom from one's regular occupation. The In structed Christian gladly uses his leis ure In the worship and service of God. I. Hearing the Word of God Read (Neh. 8:9-18). The people turned aside from their common Interests and demanded from Ezra, the scribe, the reading of God's word. The Mosaic economy provided regular periods for cessation from sec ular activities, such as the Sabbath, the Sabbatic Year and the Year of Ju bilee, so as to afford recreation and spiritual refreshment to the people. In the case of these Jews, this period of reading of the Word of God meant not only physical refreshment, but ' spiritual revival. 1. Conviction of sin (v. Ijj. "The word of God Is quick and powerful" (Heb. 4:12). It brings conviction of sin (Acts 2:37). 2. Weeping turned into Joy (vv. (10-112). Forgiveness follows percep tion and confession of sin. When the sinner is forgiven, God would have him enter Into Joy. Continued mourning would not atone for sins that are past. "The Joy of the Lord is your strength." 3. Blessing to be shared with others (vv. 10-12). True Joy manifests Itself in giving to others. Pure religion goes out to minister to the poor (Jumes 1 :27). 4. Obedience of the people. From the reading of the Scriptures they found the Feast of Tabernacles had long been neglected. They kept the feast In a way that had not been known since the days of Joshua (v. 17). II. Children Playing (Zech. 8:4-5). Playing Is natural to children. Zecharlah pictures a time when the streets of Jerusalem shall be safe for the play of children. This will be realized when Jesus Christ reigns as king. III. The Need of a Vacation (Mark 6:30-32). The tragic death of John the Baptist had taken place, and the disciples bad Just returned from a strenuous mis sionary tour. ChrlBt perceived their need and Invited them to come apart with him for a time of rest. It Is a grave mistake to assume, because we are engaged in the Lord's work and the need Is so urgent, that a vacation ( can be dispensed with. Such periods are needed in order that we may work again. This retreat, called by Christ, was for the purpose of hearing a report of their work, to take counsel about the work, and to be refreshed by prayer. IV. Do All Things for the Glory of God (I Cor. 10:23-33). The occasion for this teaching was the uncertainty as to the right atti tude toward things sacrificed unto Idols. In mingling with society many perplexing questions arise such as. amusements, way of spending Sunday, way of spending a vacation, enjoyment of luxuries, etc. This portion of God's Word contains principles adequate for guidance In all of these matters. 1. "All things are lawful for me" (v. 23). This declaration Is. limited, of course, by things which are right In themselves. It Is not true that a Chris tian Is'fre6 to do things which are wrong In themselves. He can only in dulge In lawful things as they nre ex pedient and unto edification. 2. "Let no man seek his own" (v. 24). Tho Christian's law of life Ir un selfishness. The one dominated by love considers the other's Interest rath er than his Own, 3. "Do all to the glory of God" (v. 81). This Is the gftind nnd supreme life of the Christian. In all our con cerns we should have God's glory be fore us constantly. How could one ask God's blessing upon the Intoxlcat Ing cup, dancing, gambling, theater go Ing, Sunday desecration, etc.? 4. "Give no occasion for anyone to stumble" (v. 32). We should so live thnt no one can over say that wo havo been the occasion for their downfall. f>. Follow the example '?/ Jesus Christ (I Cor. 11:1). Christ gfcvu up all for the sake of others.

Weather to Order, Plan of Russian Scientists The Russians have decided to make their own weather. So op timistic are they that an artificial rain institute has been started at Moscow, and others are to follow. Russia Is largely dependent upon the crops grown on the farms, and scientists state that presently they will he able to plant out a regular scheme of tine weather nnd of rain occurring at just the right times. Experiments made by means of planes and powerful ground trans mitting stations have shown that much can be done In the way of bringing down rain by means- of powerful high-tension currents. It has alfjo been possible to break up hailstorms by bombarding them with great bell-mouthed cannon firing blnnk charges. When the approach of a hailstorm Is signaled by tele phone the gunners are called to their stations and every effort is made to cause the hall to fall in districts where It will do the least dnmage. The vibrations set up by the bell mouthed cannon frequently bring down the hall and prevent It from traveling to places where It might do damage. Treasure Trove Some sixty gold nnd silver Span ish coins of more than a century ago were dug up at Blddeford, Maine, by Ralph Lnbbo and Ovlla Routhot.
