International Dible Lesson for Oct. 31, '09 (Acts 27: 1-26). A sea voyage Is h memorable experience. It Is an event to be anticipated with roseate dreams, and to be remem bered with pleas urable emotions. From time Im memorial, the oceiii bat been the cbject of the deepest Interest to the dwellers on this planet. Lure of the Sea. He all-encompassing embrace. Its mystery, Its calms. Its storms. Its rest less motion. Its heaving tides, Its eter nal secrets have allured and baffled the minds of men. Mythology has peopled Its depths with kd and god desses; Ignorance and superstition have made It the abode of entrancing sirens and seductive mermaids. Art ists have raved over It, poets have eung Its praises, scientists have writ ten learnedly of Its value, explorers have pushed their prows Into Its bays and Inlets, or dropped their sounding lines and dredges Into lis fathomless depths, commerce has whitened Its bosom with the sails of Its merchant men. And countless multitudes have pitched their tents upon Its beach In search of health and vigor, or, crowd ed its floating palaces of light, which by day and by night, pint their w.iy through Its healing watens. The Bible Is full of references to the sea, and some of Its most diwi'tt tic incidents relate to that natii"::l wonder, David, who perhaps never paw the ocean In a storm. In one "f his rsalms has one of the most vivid descriptions of a mid-ocean hurriruv.e that has ever been penned. One of the books of the Old Testament, around which the fiercest criticism lias centered, deals with t.he Interrupt ed voyage of a prvaclior on the t'Oi' n.v Mediterranean, r.nd no mere uect:r:tte mid vivid story of a shipwreck viii ever written than the a. 'count, ! y t'.ie Amanuensis Luke, of lli- founder.:'. ; of the corn ship off ihe Island t;T Melita, on which the apostU' Y: w in ic'Z conveyed, a prisoner to Ito;: e. I'p to this time Paul had b.v;:i u land traveler. On foot, he had trumped all over Asia, with only oc casional excursions by water oil ihvrt tri j from shore to thoic, but k':t tip ie;l to C'nesnr, at his fucical trial Bt C'acsnrea, made It n-'ce.-Maiy that he should appear at ti.e cnpit.U at Home. That meant a lens and dan gerous voyage in the vv'iiter n .tsun tlirough a ee.i, swept by equinoctial storms, in merchant vessels, and ii'iy nnd every sort of craTV 1 raft, who:e owners dared or could lit persuaded to take the risk of tempest and break rs. Ancient and Modern Chips. In theso days of swift ships and modern improvement a voyage to Europe is about as pletsant at one season as another. The accommoda tions are palatial, every comfort and luxury of life is provided, every wish Is gratified, there is instant and con stant communication with the hemi spheres ahead and astern, the news of the world Is found at the breakfast table In a newspaper damp from the press, and It is only a MUle matter of four days and a half from the shore of America to the shore of Europe, 3,000 miles apart. Hut l'atil had no such conveniences on his historic voyage, 2,000 years ago. He wa3 a prisoner under guard of a Roman soldier. The fare was of the coarsest, the accommodations were of the poor st, herded with the Imperial prison ers from all parts of the empire, be ing transported to the capital to an swer for their crimes, ro considera tion was shown the man whose name was destined to endure forever; la hunger, cold, and weariness this dis tinguished prisoner took his Mediter ranean voyage from fuesarea to Rome. Pertonal Influence. And yet before that voyage was ended, that solitary man, little, and prematurely old, was irovldentially put Into a position, where his person ality and Influence, psimeated and controlled the whole situation. In the midst of a fourteen days' cyclonic tempest, the captain lost his bead, the sailors were panic-stricken, the sol diers were ready to assassinate their prisoners, riot and uttor absence of discipline prevailed. At that Junc ture, when all hope of being saved had expired In every breast, this landlubber, unknown and unskilled In tea craft, assumed command of the ship, put heart into the hopeless, by hte calmness soothed the panic of the hysterical, and stopped their at tempts to abandon the passengers, gave directions about life-preserving methods when the ship struck the beach and began to go to pieces under the pounding of the waves, and by his christian fortitude, calm trust, cheerful words, sensible directions, and general, all-around manhood brought passengers and few all safe to land without the loss of a bouL . , F.

In Germany, Spain and Holland tex tile goods are made out of wood, and It is probable that this Industry will soon spread to France. The process consists In making tho wood pulp pass directly through a metallic place with a number of slits, resulting In the formation of thin ribbons, which pass from the slited plate directly to a machine which twists them, trans forming them Into very regular thread of any desired size. Tho wood fiber threads thus produced go by the names of xyloline, silvaline and It cella; they are classified by number like the other threads In use. Mixed with hemp threads, they have been used to make towels. Those mixed fabrics readily admit of washing, dye ing and printing; the wood-pulp thread, which grows weak when wet, regains its resistance when dried. Brooklyn Eagle. Sources of Contagion. In a house in tho English town of Exeter sat two men. One of them Informed his companion that the last time he was Ir town ho suffered from smallpox In that very room. "In that corner," he said, "was a cupboard where the bandages were kept; It Is now plastered over, but they are probably still there." And he took a poker, broke down the plaster and found them. From this "find" the two men contracted the disease, and It spread through the town and worked (earful havoc. "Cats' Angel" Kills 'Em for Fur. Atlantic City, N.
