M if r rsew iors aiarcii u.? iuo sa.cici.uu of a prehistoric deinodon, calculated to be 60,000,000 years old, has been installed in Dinosaur Hall at the American Museum of Natural History. The' deinodon, which is also known as "terrible tooth," is described as perhaps the most swift and powerful creature of its time. The skeleton stands eleven feet live inches high and measures twenty feet from the nose to the tip of its tail. It is supposed to have weighed several times as much as the largest lion of today. Dr. W. D. Matthew, curator of the museum's department of vertebrate paleontology, says that our prehistoric ancestors perhaps did not have to contend with the deinodon, which likely was extinct before the earliest caveman. , The deinodon lived during the cretaceous period of the age of reptiles, according to calculations based on the alteration of radioactive minerals. The skeleton of the deinodon was found three years ago by Charles H. Sternberg in the canon of the Red Deer river in Alberta, the richest repository of dinosaur skeletons yet dis covered, rne geograpny ana cuiuaie of that region was far different 60,000,000 years ago, perhaps warm r ' and marsh of the swamps of the interior sea, once stretching from the i Gulf of Mexico in the Arctic Ocean, I was gradually receding and filling up m with swamps and tropical growth. ? Reptiles roamed the earth in those days save for tiny opposum-like creatures in the trees, there was none of the higher quadrupeds or mammals. It has been suggested that the tiny tree-dwellers helped bring about the extinction of gigantic reptiles by sucking the eggs deposited in the tree-dwellers helped bring about the _ swamps. > "See any fancy ridin' while you was east?" asked Three-Finger Sain.

Among the most beautiful of Shah Jahan's sculptured monuments is the Pearl mosque at Agra. The entrance gateway of red sandstone contrasts effectively with the interior of white and blue-veined marble. An inscription in letters of black marble states that this mosque may be likened to a nrprtnns npnrl for no Other mOSQUe IS f vv-w-v r similarly lined with marble. The Indian influence upon Mahometan architecture of this period is evidenced In the lotus petal cap decorating the domes and in the purely Hindu finials, legitimate Mahometan mosques bearing instead the simple spire, with the star and crescent. The foliated arches come from a Buddhist source, symbolizfng the lotus-leaf shaped aura around the body of Gautama. The pointed upper foliation is derived from the shape of the leaf of the bodhi, or pipul tree, under which Gautama attained to enlightenment and Buddahood, and is commonly used In Buddhist idolatry to indicate the nimbus around the head. The master builders of Mogul days were chiefly Indians from Bengal, and since they were artists and artisans rather than mechanical workers much of the Inspiration of the architecture of this period must be accredited to them. GREAT WORK OF TEACHERS Theodore Roosevelt's Tribute to Their Services to the Country Surely Well Deserved. Q o on fr\ rnni* MAV? VV? V4 f MO M L: 11JV.IUVUC tv J vv?4 teachers' avowed work, you render some well-nigh unbelievable services to the country. For instance, you render to this republic the prime, the vital service of amalgamating into one homogeneous body the children of those who are born here and of those who come here from so many different lands abroad. You furnish a common training and common ideals for the children of all the mixed peoples who are here being fused Into one nationality. It Is In no small degree due to you and to your efforts that we, of this great American republic, form one people instead of a group of jarring peoples. The children, wherever they have been born, wherever their parents have been born, who are educated In our schools side by side with one another, will inevitably grow up having that sense of mutual sympathy and mutual respect and understanding, which is absolutely indispensable for working out the problems that we as citizens have before us.?Theodore Roosevelt, In an address before the National Educational association at Ocean Grove, July 7, 1900. The Wigs of Constantinople. There was a special assistant to the In ri/inotonttnAnla r reucii aiuuadoauvi tii wuciuuuuvyiu years ago whose friends in Paris wished to play a trick on him, and so they told him to take a cargo of wigs with him to Constantinople, and he would make a lot of money. The man bought the cargo of wigs, only to find on arrival that the people had never heard of wigs and had no use for them whatever. The ambassador noticing that his friend was melancholy, discovered the cause to be the unsold cargo of wigs, so he told the story to the grand vizier, who told the sultan. Whereupon, the sultan sent an order to all the synagogues in the city that all the Jews in the city must wear wigs. The Jews didn't even know what a wig was, much less where they could get one. And this was just the moment tor tne possessor 01 a wigu vj. wigs, who put them on the market and made a pocketful of money. Helgoland Beliefs. Helgoland was called Hertha In ancient times. The island was Independent from the tenth to the fourteenth centuries, until the dukes of Schleswig took it over and used It mainly as a pawn for loans until the Danes acquired it 400 years later. Denmark ceded it to Great Britain in the nineteenth century and the British fortified it for defensive purposes. The Islanders absorbed customs and Ideas of the many nationalities that visited them, adorning each with a distinctive touch. They even had a curious quirk In their Satan, a wooden leg. Hence the Schleswig saying: "In Helgoland the devil goes on crutches." Buffalo Roam In Australia. When Australians refer to their empty north, they do not always recall the fine herds of buffalo which roam in the northern territory. The buffalo has prospered greatly since tihe first animals were Imported, and his hide and horns offer a fairly easy source of revenue. In the hot, wide territory over which the "mud buffalo" roams, it is not feasible to use him as a Dew source of food supply, and attenspts at yarding have shown that the buffalo is a true Australian, as he resents being driven and expresses this resentment vigorously. It is stated that the mud buffalo has four stomachs and does not chew the cud. Kill Him. "Where are you going?" asked the returned hero's mother as he strode toward the door, a vicious look on his face. "To find the man who sent me this letter suggesting that I take a course in physical culture," was the savage response as the door slammed.?Home Sector. The Earth's Crust. The most important scientific Investigation of the last year in any country has probably been the attempt to j measure the earth's crust. We know very little about the shell on which we! live. Scientists have been studying the problem In Hawaii. Tuscany and in Salvador, where the opportunities for investigation are especially favorable. Much data new to science has been collected concerning the shell, its composition and probable age. Still other tests have been made in New South Wales, where a great reservoir concentrates an immense weight of water on a limited area, and instruments have hoon riovlspfl to mpnsiirp thp movement I of the earth's crust under this weight New light has thus been thrown on the action of volcanoes.?Boys' Life.

Carmel Colored Church. The following sermon was preached at Mount Carmel Colored M. E. church Feb. 29th, by the pastor, Rev. R. A. Cottingham, and is published at the request of the congregation: "The Ultimate Triumph of Christ's Kingdom and Downfall of Evil." "I will overturn, overturn, overturn it; and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him."?Ezekiel 21:27. Our text has reference to the removal of the crown from the head of King Zedekiah and the vacancy in the royal line of David, which should not be filled up with the sceptre should be given into Christ's hands, whose true right it should be to reign. The prophecy was literally fulfilled for the kingdom of Judah ceased | not until Christ came, who was the I root and offspring of David, the king of kings and lord of lords. But there is another rendition of j the text which may be considered, j and which is in perfect harmony with | the spirit of prophecy, that the Almighty has given universal empire to Jesus, that it is Christ's right to , reign, and that Jehovah will over: turn every obstruction until his reign j is effected, and even though his reign j may appear to tarry, let us firmly believe it is coming. Hence let us obi serve three facts. i I Thp Almiehtv has eiven uni ; versal empire to Jesus. | A few scripture references will forj ever establish this assertion. Read .Psa. 72:8-11, Psa. 2:8, Psa. 89:27, Daniel 7:14, Zech. 9:10, Phil. 2:10-j 11, and Acts 2:32, and many other j like passages. It is evident from j these scriptures that Christ's reign i is to embrace the whole world, every ! empire, kingdom, republic, continent I and island. All people of every ! language, dialect, color, and tongue. His kingdom is to swallow up/every other, and the kingdom and people that will not serve him are to per| ish eternally. This consummation j was behld in prophetic vision by St. I John, Rev. 11:15. With this state ! of things will be associated universal ; righteousness, universal knowledge, universal peace and bliss. Let us observe: II. That it is Christ's right thus | to reign alone, "Whose right it is."? I Now this right of Jesus to reign supremely is founded, 1. On his creative property in all things. We read in Colossians 1:16, "All things were made by him, and for him." By his power and for his glory. The devil is a usurper, and has no legal right to any part of God's Creation. Hence 1 J ^aa Vino Tiro n _ ! me worm uy uisuucu^cm,c nao ?? dered from its rightful Lord and Creator and has fallen under the bane ! of satanic influence. But the reign of Christ remains unaffected and that right he will demand and maintain. 2. On His supreme authority as 1 Universal Lord, Christ is Lord of all, I ("King of kings,") His majesty and | glory fill the heavens, His claims are as broad as the universe, just and perfect. Since He is the Creator of the earth, yea, ail things; He has an eternal legal right to the whole universe to control and reign alone. His authority is seen in controlling all events, in upholding all things. It is I seen in his infinite outgoings of bej nevolence and love. Notice: 3. I r!hri?f has a rprteominer rieht to reism. ! " - | j He became incarnate, he descended ! into the earth, He brought the light of heaven into this benighted sin cursed world. He gave His own life j for it, He is the Creator and preserver of the world. Hence Christ has ratified his right to reign over this j world with is own blood. To this end i He came into this world to save lost ! humanity and to reign over the world, j that he might be king, and king ; alone, that the Crown of glory might j 'encircle bis own brow. Thus in the j ! extension of bis kingdom He is re-! i i j living his joy and reward. Christ j i was willingly lifted up that He might ' ' draw all men utno himself, "And T | j if I he lifted up," Jno. 12:32. Let lis I | observe. III. Jehovah will overturn every | obstruction to the success of Christ's 1 reign. "I will overturn." Now in j effecting this purpose the works of the devil must and will be destroyed,; and the empire of sin totally overthrown. Ignorance must give place to knowledge, error to truth; and sin must make room for holiness. Satan must be driven from his stronghold, and thus Christ will enlarge his em-j pire and extend his domains to the! 1 uttermost bounds of the universe.; There are, however, four strong bar-J riers which must be destroyed, yea. entirely overturned. These are: I. Paganism and all its diversi-l fled rites. The idolatry of paganism,! the superstition of paganism, the! Cruelty of paganism. All, of; this "ism" is the very atmosphere; of the bottomless pit. Paganism, whether of the intellectual and metaphysical kind of the Hindoos, or of the rude and illiterate kind of untutored tribes, must be overturned.! Every pagan idol must be cast to the moles and the bats. Every altar de-l stroyed and every temple desolated, j i Read Isa, 2:18. "And the idols he shall utterly abolish" II. Mohammedism in all its earth-j ly gratifications. Mohammedism is! a splendid admixture of adulterated i and vulgar error. Now this mist be i overthrown. The false prophet must be denounced and forsaken, the crescent must wane and retire into eternal destruction before the power of the cross. III. Judaism with its obsolete; rites. This system was originally of j God, but which consisted of types, and shadows, which have long ago been ratified in Jesus Christ, the great substitute and antitype. Nineteen hundred years ago that lest its vitality; and Ichabod has been for ages written upon its rites and services, and people?the glory has departed. The Jews are like people who at eventide are looking for the rising of the sun; but every vestige of that shadowy economy must pass away, and all the relics of the scattered tribes be collectsd into the fold of Jesus Christ. Read Romans j ii:zo. notice: IV. Antichristian Rome. The papal hierarch is evidently that man of sin to which the apostle alludes, j who must be destroyed. This is evi-: dently the Mystical Babylon whose overthrow is certain. This is to be as a millstone thrown j into the depths of the sea. Read J Rev. 18:20. Everything that exalteth itself against God, or attempts the division of Christ's merits must be consumed before the brightness of Christ's countenance and the power of the xx ?

How will God overturn? Doubtless his infinite wisdom, and love will devise a, suitable plan and thus effect his purpose. He may j cause science and commerce to open a passage for the ultimate triumph of the gospel. He may over rule war, and may allow the military hero to pioneer the ambassador of peace. But He will do it by the power of ( the gospel of truth. The doctrines of the cross are to effect it and not; the peace treaty nor the Monroe doc-i trine. "We preach Christ crucified." "Not by might nor by power, but by my onin't ooitVi tlio T " Tho oniritlial I L iJUIHi tllV/ MV1 U. A JU^ AbUVWA sword is the word of God. He did this by the gospel in primitive times. In bigoted Jerusalem, in imperial Rome and in the isles of the sea. He is doing so now; look at the islands of the south sea; look at Central Africa; look on the shores of continental India; look into the interior of Burmah; in one word, that which converts a blaspheming American will save a Hindoo idolater, or a savage American Indian. Application: 1. Are your sumpathies and affections on the side of Jesus? And does the subject inspire you? Has it your love, prayene and help? What side are you on? 2. How necessary is devoted, consecrated effort. What has to be achieved? Make the calculation: I spoke of Pagans, write 482,000,000 j I spoke of Mohammedans, write 140,000,000 T r?r\rtlr a f T ttt**? I a A opunc \J A nnio down 13,000,000 Then as disciples of papal Rome 80,000,000 715,000,000 This vast number, strangers to Christ. Let me ask, is it not hopeless? No, read the text, God has spoken it. 3. Secure a personal interest in the gracious administration of Jesus, and the ultimate triumph of Christ's kingdom in the overthrow of wrong and the establishment of universal righteousness. Finally, the sure success of the gospel means the defeat of all wrong; the establishment of universal peace, the uplift of humanity and the birth nf a new beeinnina. Epidemics, pestilence, crime and bloodshed, war, famine, and lawlessness and whatsoever loveth and maketh a lie, all must end before the power of the gospel, and the ushering in of Christ's reign. oles B 1 ^ MBERG, SOUTH CAROLH llert to Servi www ' rplus Fii w w w L $25,( rs AND PROFITS. $28,( pies 6 MBERG, SOUTH CAROLIN Bank With the Liberty B )W.
