It consists of an uprtght brass rod about nine feet long, beurlng nt its upper end n crosspleco to which n number of equidistant vertlcul spikes are nt tuched. The observer turns to the crossplece until the cloud appears to travel along the line of spikes, and notos the tlmo it takes to pass from spike to spike. This forms a basis from 'which lie reckons tho speed. 1 Do it Nowl Kuther Iteimird Vnughnn could not resist having his little joke the other day, when, as the guest of the Kotary club, Liverpool, the chairman called upon the gathering not to smoke too freely for fear of disturbing the speaker.

Star Closest to Solar System. llarnard'8 "Runaway" Star, ns the star of remarkably great proper mo tion recently discovered In Ophluchus Is called by some astronomers, Is prob ably nenrer to the solar system thnn any other fixed star whose parallax has been measured with tho exception of Alpha Centaurl. The parallax ob servations nt tho Allegheny observa tory give n value of .5 second, while from mlcrometrlc measures made by r.itrnnrd, Russell obtains n value of .70 second. Tho parallax of Alphn Centaurl Is .78 second, corresponding to a distance of 4.3 light years. Ac cording to determinations made by F. Uonnesslat, In France, from a com parison of photographs extending back to 1897, the new star is even nearer than Alpha Centaurl. He finds its parallax to be approximately one sec ond, representing a distance of only 3.20 light years.

' Two ounces of oatmeal are sutllcient to make a plateful of porridge, and this, with a pennyworth of new milk, and some sugar, provides a more nour ishing meal than a mutton chop, with out the fut, or half a pound of lean steuk. The porridge, too, contains all that the body requires sugar, starch and fat, to .provide for the energy and warlnth of the body, the albumen for forming the muscles, and the minerals for building the bones and enriching the blood, but the steuk provides for thu formation of muscle alone, with a mere trace of the requisite minerals. Whale Oil. The total production from Norway of whale oil during 1910 amounted to !!7,4O0 barrels, as against 475,000 bnr rcls iu 1915, 575,000 in 1911, and 000, 000 in 191X The world's production of whalo' oil during 1910 amounted to 034,500 barrels. Compared with the world's production the Norwegian pro duction during 1916 was about 53 per cent, during 1915 about 75 per cent, during 1914 about 78 per cent, and dur ing 1913, 77 per cent. Modern Prairie Sod House. Speaking of the trip which he and his brother recently made through western Kansas, eastern Colorado and western Oklahoma, W. A.

And ninny of them are so well finished Inside that one would scarcely know that they were of sod plastered, pa pered and good woodwork. He stopped nt many of theso places and found that many of the people living In these sod houses luivo uutomohlles and are quite well-to-do. Marlon Record. Fruit Comblnstions.

LESSON FOR AUGUST 19 FINDING THE BOOK OF THI LAW. LESSON TEXT-II Chronicle 14:14-31. GOLDEN TEXT-I will not forget thy word.-Pu. 119:111. 1. The Book of the Law Found (tv. 14-17), L The occasion (v. 14). It was found while the work of repairing the temple was going on. At whut part la the temple we do not know; perhaps iu the treasure house, for it was found while bringing out the money to pay for the repairs. Perhaps this was in or near the ark, for thu law was usual ly kept in or by tho ftrk. 2. liy whom (v. 14). Ililklah. Jhe high priest, was the finder. It is strange that the high priest was igno rant of tho place where the law was found. It is a sad comment upon the inornl ami spiritual condition of priests and kings, since they were appointed guardians of God's liw. It is, however, iiiwnvs true that when one does not want to huve his life ordered by the Itllile lie will put It out of his sight. The dlsiipiM-nruncc of the Dlble from our homes, und the neglect of It In our study, is a certain sign of evil In our lives. He assured, however, that though the law of the Lord he removed from our sight it shall sooner or later come before us to Judge us. God has declared that ids Word shall not return unto him void, but shall accomplish thut whereunto It hath been sent. 3. Its disposition (v. 10). Hllklnh gave the law to Shnphnn the scribe, who delivered It to the king along with his report as to the disisisltion of the money which had been collected. II. The Book of the Law Read (vr. IS, 29, 30). 1. To the king (v. 18). This was a most impressive scene, the king listening to the reading of the law of God. It was the proper thing to do, for those appointed by God to rule over the people should he anxious to know the will of God concerning them. The pious king, believing In It ns God's Word, was unxious to know God's thought concerning the nation. His interest becume Intense, as he was made conscious of the apostasy of hi people from God's law. His chief anxi ety was to know whut wus God's pur pose ns to the nation in view of their Idolatry. It is a sensible thing to make oneself Intelligent us to his responsi bilities, even to know what judgments shall befall those who have turned from God. One should know the worst while there Is time yet to escape his wruth. for reueutnnce Is the only door of ecupe from perdition. 2. To tho people (vv. 29, 30). At the direction of the king the priests, elders and all the people were called together to hear God's Word read. This wus as it ever should be. People hnve a right to hear what God has to say to them as well as the king. To keep the people Ignorant of tho Word of the Lord Is a great crime. The crying need of the age, with nil Its boasted knowledge, fine church equipment and cultured minis try, Is for the Word of God to be brought to the ears of tho people. III. The Effect of the Reading of the Law. (vv. 20-23; 31-33). When God's Word Is intelligently read und under stood there Is bound to be un Impres sion made. 1. The king rent his clothes (v. 19). The man who will Jioncstly listen to the rending of God's Word will be brought to his knees, for he will be con victed of sin, and wIM take the place of self-abnsement before the Lord. The king first saw his own sins and con fessed them. It Is a good sign when one sees his own shortcomings and failures, und not primarily those of others. 2. The king made Inquiry of the Lort) through Huldah the prophetess (vv. 22 28). His supreme motive In this In quiry was to find out whether there wns sotue way to avert the awful Judg ments which were 'Impending, as set forth in the Word of God. After all, the human heart Instinctively turns from threatened woe to inquire wheth er there Is not a way of escape. Along side of the lltimlng, thundering Slnal wns placed the Levltlcal system of offerings. Law and grace are not far removed. The luw becomes our school master to bring us to Christ. Through Hulduh the message came that God had taken account of all their sins and that Judgment must full, but Josiuh would be spared the sight of all God's visitation of wrath. The penitence of the king turned aside God's wrath from himself, but the nation would be obliged to suffer for its awful apostasy. 3. The king made a covenant (vv. 31, 32). This was to the effect that ho would walk in the commandments of the Lord. He also made the people stand to this covenant. He no doubt acted from the sincerity of Ids benrL 4. Further reforms (v. 33). Josiuh now reached out as fur as the national boundaries, took away their abomina tions and made Israel to serve tho Lord their God. Tho fuct that the book of the law wns found implies that It had been lost. The way it had been lost is not definitely set forth, but nu merous ways may be suggested. The Bible Is a lost book to many professing Christians today, maybe through lack of Interest in It, willful neglect or neg lect through the stress of life's busi ness nnd pleasures. May we not ench one Inquire as to whither our Bibles ure lost! Emergency Dodgers. "An emergency nlwnys brlnirs fnn. ward a mnn to meet it." "I don't know about that.
