MHANING (Wises 13 to 11). -Intel-est
having been uw litem d in the wo
rn in's mind, :i ptlmury condition for
Insti action, Jesus atlemittd to explain
His words, but He was compelled to
pioceed carefullv according to th"
ability of His pupil to lecelve. He on
de.ivoied to make bet know that the
water of which He spoke was not to
be tliawn fiom the will at all that
would quench thirst only lor a time.
Hut He would give v,ate.- which would
leinaln with the poison, v.herevei ho
might go, and spilng up within him,
even as the living watei at the bot
tom of the well, pioiluclug not merely
phvslcal comfoit, but evci lasting life
(John -v It. 3S). This icfeieme to the
Intetloi, satlsfjlng and ubldlng por
tion was as near lo spiritual teaching
as Chrit could come at lhat lime. It
Is not probable that the woman fully
grasped the meaning Her deslie was
awakened, howevei, unci she request
ed that Bhe might obtain this water
and so be spared the labor of coming
to the well.

uuestiou. The Snmutltuns had cstiib
llshetl public worship In that moun
tain, while the Jews claimed that
Jeiusalem was the pioper place el
Kings lx, 3). She determined to get
the decision of this mtttet fiom Jesus,
to settle a dispute bv lpfc-rrlng It to
one competent to decide. Jesus did
not lepel her, but unswered In part,
tint the time would ccnie when people
would wotshlp In neither place; tint
for the present the Jewa hud the ad
vantage over the Simarltatia because
salvation had been piomlsed (Isa III,
3) thinugh the fotmct: that the tlni"
would come and was not far distant
when the vvoishlp of God would b
spltltual and on that ni count accept
able, and when the place of worship
would bp a matter of no Importance

ed. All classes of people, in Satnarl i
as well as 111 Judea, expected a Mes
siah, who at his coming would set
forth lellgloi's duties, besides reform
ing the government (John 1, 4") Hone
the woman said In reply to Jesus
that she was awaie of the cood time
promised when the Messiah slioul 1
come. Her remark shows how general
was tho Inform itlon and how deep
seated was the conviction on this sub
1oct. "With utmost calmness and

A MEXICAN BEAN CLOCK.
Fiom tho Scientific American.
A few e.us ago public tutiositv
was excited by thu cutlous beans called
the "devil beans of Mexico," which
shopkcepeis placed In their windows.
They somewhit icsembled loisttd
cottee beans In sh ipe and coloi. They
weio also known as the "Jumping
be ins." owing to the fact that from
time to time they made spasmodic
movements which propelled them quite
a little distance The beans grew on
a small bush In the Mexican moun
tains, and It Is conjectuied that they
belonged to the older Kuphoiblaceao
The bean leally consisted ot tluee
blmllir pods which foi mod ,t single
beau. It Is usuallv a third of the bean
which was exhibited ns a ciuIoi-.it.
On opening the pod it was found that
It contained a small laiva somothln-;
like that fieqtiently lound In chest
nuts n is this little occupant whlca
gives motion to the bean by Its jeiks
unci thumps against tho sldu of It
home. If the bean Is slightly w annul
It begins to tin n fiom side to side
and pei haps with a sudden Jump turns
completely over and stands on one
end, and then by successive, jump I
moves quite a distance.
Those who uie not In tho seciet aio
often gieatly puzzled by this sttang-
bean. An eiitei prising Jeweler devise 1
a scheme of utilizing them to make
u magic clock. He accomplished this
by Imitating the shape of two of the
beans, unking the dummy beans out
of soft lion. One he gilded and tne
other ho sllveted. The piepaicd lion
beans weio placid within with tho
oulln.iiy jumping beans on a thin
white piece ot pisteboaul. outlined anl
numbered liko tho dial of a clock, but
cloy old of the hands. This dial w is
located over the woiks of a lit go
cloik which was pluced faced upwaid
on the Moor ot the stoie window. He
fastened small magnets to the ends of
the hands. Tlu wotkn weio of c out so
cutotullv hidden fiom view All that
was in evluence was tho cuulboaid
clock dlul and the Jumping titans,
among which wetu the gold and nil-vci-palnted
lion beans. These weto
placed on the c.iulbo.ird ovei tho con
cealed hands with the magnets at
tached. The magnets weie moved by
tho hands of tho clock so that they
weio almost In contact with the caul
boat d. As they moved mound they
tallied the lion beans with them, thus
telling the tlmo of day, and the public,
was gieatly Inteiestod by tho lutein,
geueo shown by the two beans, which
distinguished them fiom their lively
assoi kites.
