SKELETON NOW INSTALLED..
Is *6,000,000 Years Old.?Most Powerful
Creature of its Time.
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.

PEARL MOSQUE WELL NAMED
Structure at Agra, India, Admittedly
One of the Most Beautiful
In the World.
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*

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

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.

"THE ULTIMATE TRIUMPH."
Sermon by Rev. R. A. Cottingham at
Mt. 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

gospel. But you ask- how will this be:
done? 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

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.
