It is produced by the rapid expansion of, gases in lavs, due to sudden release of pressure, .which either forms s very light, porous rock or may completely shatter the lava into dust, in which state it may be transported great dis tances by wind and deposited in drifts. In the western portion of Nebraska there are impure masses of it, prob ably deposited in this way, 100 feet or more in depth. Nearly all the pumice or the volcanic ash used in the United States is made into polishing powder or incorporated in abrasive soap. Other uses are the manufacture of semi-fused filling brick or mineral wool or cement £nd of a cheap kind of glass. 1 Wm. McNAB Reprasanttnf FIRE, HEALTH AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPANIES.

Moving Picture Idea Atcrihed to Chinese Edison himself has said that most of his Inventions are the development of the idea of some oue who has pre ceded him, and now some one comes forth with the statement that the real origin of the moving picture dates back to China 7,000 years ago. The Chinese, In 5000 B. C., had their equivalent of our “pictures” iu their ‘’shadow shows.” They made figures of wax, exquisitely modeled and dressed, a few inches in height and flnng the shadows from these on buf falo akin rendered transparent Mov ing pictures thrown on a screen. museum, South Kensington, England.

On the night of the third day the man awoke from a nap in which he had dreamed that a thick, medium-rare beefsteak bad been set before him. Restlessly he went for a stroll In the park, casting hungry, covetous glances at every youth with a peanut and every babe with a nurs ing bottle.

INTERMEDIATE ANp SENIOR TOP* IC—Confessing and -Forsaking Sin. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- IC—Repentance: What.It la, and What It Does. 1. David's Crimes (II Sam. 11). L Adultery (vv. 4,5). ^ He by his kingly authority brought Bathsheba, the beautiful wife of Uriah, one of his brave soldiers, into bis harem. 2. Murder (vv. 14-18). David sought to cover up his shame ful act of adultery with Bathsheba by calling Uriah from the field of battle and giving him a furlough at borne with his wife. (He first gave blm hon orable recognition by sending a por tion of meat from the royal table— v. 8.) Uriah’s high sense of military duty and propriety would not allow him to do this. , Falling in this, David corrupted him by making him drank, with the ex pectation that Uriah would thus go home. When these schemes would not work he resorted to the terrible crime of exposing Uriah to the most dangerous place in the battle where be would surely be killed. II. Contributing Factors in David’s Fail. 1. Idleness (U;l). utttlltty-te go forth with his army to battle. David tarried at Jerusalem becaule of Indolence or self-ludulgeoce. 2. He looked upon a beautiful wom an (11:2). As he was lounging in idleness, this temptation was too great’ for him. He yielded to bis lustful impulse and sent his servants to bring the woman to him. This action on the part of David is absolutely Inexcusable. David bad the power to turn from this sin and thus escape temptation. III. David Rebuked by Nathan, the Prophet (12:1-12). What David had done displeased the Lord (11:2T). What he bad done gratified his own carnal lust, but the serious thing is that It displeased the Lord. Because David was God’s Own, God could not let the matter rest He therefore sent Nathan, His prophet, to .him. 1. The parable of the ewe lamb (vv. 1-C). Among the Jews it was customary to have pet Iambs which were brought up with the children of the family and therefore regarded with tender affection. Nathan pictures before David a poor man whose sole posses sion consisted of one such lamb, and a rich neighbor when entertaining a guest bad appropriated unto .himself this lamb Instead of drawing upon bis numerous flock. This so aroused David’s anger that he declared that the rich man should restore fourfold, and in addition forfeit his life. Na than declared: “Thou art the man.” In spite of David’s awful sin, be had - I 1 ... ~ SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM ANNOUNCES GREATLY REDUCED * BOUND TRIP EXCURSION FARES ATLANTIC CITY —AND—.

The original species was named Fregats aqulla by the natur alist, Linnaeus, in 1758. They are now‘known to be confined to this lit tle oceanic rock. These odd sea birds have bodies about the size of those of ordinary barnyard hens, with mon strous long wings, which spread as much as ten feet Their bills are long with hooked tips, which make them dangerous weapons, and their feet are so tiny ant) so weak that they can scarcely waddle. Wearisome “The man who means well Is as distressing as a camel’s hair under shirt," said J. Fuller Gloom, the hu man hyena. “He is so free from evil Intent that he greatly resembles a dead clam. On account of his inno cence he is always getting into pre dicaments that no one else would think of, and after becoming em broiled in trouble be expects, because he meant well, that all the rent of us will drop whatever we are doing and rush to his rescue. I am weary of the well-meaning man.” — Kansas Clt> Times. 2. Sentence of jodgment (vv.7-12). Perhaps no history records an in dictment so terrible as this one. (1) He recounted onto David God’s peculiar favor, (vv. 7, 8). God had taken him from the sheep- cote and lifted him to the throne, made him king over all IsraeL He had* delivered him from Sanl’s mur derous plots and he had inherited Saul’s royal possessions. (2) David’s shameful treatment of God’s law. (v.9). He pointed out that he had violated both tables of the law by worshiping the God of passion and had practiced covetousness, robbery, lying and mur der. « (3) The awful judgment pronounced (w. 10-12). The prophet dedared that the sword should never depart from David’s house. He had used the sword to slay Uriah. God in His retributive justice permitted the sword to re main in David’s house. IV. David’s Confession (w. 13-23). Tire confession of sin was so real to David that he declared that It had been committed against God (Pa 51:4). He now was made fully conscious of his broken condition. He realised what it meant to be without inno cence. Though he confessed his sin, as recorded in Psalm 32, and God for gave him, he had to safferifs conse quence. ’*Wbatsoever a man sowetb that shall he also reap.” Fragrant Mi Youth Is the time to build yean oi helpful, frieoqjy, neighborly acta This dona the world will enjoy the tea of lovable personalities as of life; x ~ The Coward To die in order to avoid the pains of poverty, love, er anything that Is disagreeable ii not the role of a brave man, but of a coward.
