In reproving the Pharuees for their baseless criticism of him and for their desire tor a miracle to test his power, Jesus depicts their spiritual condition by using the parable of expelled demons, a subject foreign to our thought to- day, but moving in the region of popular opinion of his day. The point of the parable for u is the fact of common experience which it emphasises, that he who has once experienced the goodness and mercy of God in the forgiveness of sin and thereafter permits the old habits to again take possession of his life is sure to sink steadily to lower and lower levels.

Organs aud Bones Grow Intil He Is Forty Years Old. It is claimed by scientists who have made a etudy of the subject that a man's orgara and the bones that are not subjected to pressure grow continuously until he is forty years old ; that is to say that the heart should grow stronger, the capacity of the lungs increas and the brain should develop steadily until the end of the fourth decade of life. A man ceasea to grow tall, how- ever, at the beginning of the third decade, because after that time pressure instinctive, and so also are her jeatness, her coquetry and her her modesty.

Sir Oliver Lodge Sujjgont.s N>w t'se for Electricity. Sir Oliver Lodge, the distin- guished physicist and principal of Birmingham (England), University, in an addre.s.i before the Institute of Electrical Kngineera recently, suggested the possibility of obtain- ing some measure of control over the weather. If clearing weather, he said, was due to electricity, it might be im- agined that man could acquire some control over the electrification of the atmosphere. If it wa-s desired to produce rain, why n--t send up a kite to reach the okmds .' He believed that if enough electricity were discharged into the clouds the drops would behave there as they did in the la.bora.torv ; WOMAN TO EXrl-OKE DESERT Will Traverse Region No Euroaean Has Ever ctered. Countess Molitor, of Ruesia, has drawn her plans fur the crossing of Arabia from west to east, including the exploration of the Kuba el Khali Desert, a region of CiOO.OJjfl square miles which no European has ever entered, and which is probably the most mysterious aad inaccessible region in the world. Whether it contains, as some be- lieve, rema: .s -.: buried cities, of whether the whole is nothing but arid sand, none can say, for it is very doubtful whether even a na- tive has crossed more than the out- skirts of the desert. Countess Moli- tor lias ftlrecdj done considerable travelling alone in Southwest Af- rica. "I intend," she said, "to travel alone, so far as Europeans are con- cerned, for I believe thia to be ths safest course. I shall dress and live as aa Arab. My plans have been discussed with the Geographi- cal Society, which admits the im- mense interest attached to the des- ert, but makes no secret of the dan- gerous character of the journey. ''From Daira I shaJl travel to Teims, the point from which several unsuccessful "attempts have been made to get into the heart of the country. This part of the journay will involve a couple of weks' tra- vel over mountains. My next objec- tive will be Tamreh, three, weeks' journey to the southward over diffi- cult mountain country. ''Tamreh is the last point in the desert marked on the map. and the 1,200 miles of desert between that place and Muscat ia absolutely un- known. One of the greatest perils will be the absence of water, but I am arranging to travel in the spring, when my she-camels will have a plentiful supply of milk. Baa- ing my rate of progress by camel at thirty miles a day, I should, with luck, emerge at Muscat in May." UNIQUE BRIDGE. One of the Most Interesting in the World in Indo-China. What is claimed to be one of the most interesting railway structures in the world is the bnd#a over the Faux Xamti gorge in lcd<j- China, where, owing to the peculiar diffi- culties in the way of building a bridge of any type, it was necessary to adopt a special design suited to the only method of erection that seemed possible. The sides of the gorge, according to a writer in Popular Mechanics, are practically vertical and have no chance of the approach side to the except bridge from either through tunnels. The track grade is 335 feet abov* the river, so that no system of falsework could be used in build- ing the bridge, while cantilevers were out of the question owing to tht lack of ''elbow room." The design, filially adopted consist- ed of two steel trusses, each hinged at the cliff side, which were erected in a, vertical position and then lowered so that the ends met, forming a structure of inverted V -shape. The ends of the two trusses were firmly connected, steel towers were erected on the humps of the trussee and on this support the steel deck truss, carrying the track, was placed. At the beginning of the work it waa necessary to let the workmen down by ropes from the tunnel mouth to prepare the foun- dations of the supporting trusses. , The track trusses were built in they would coalesce, and, once that the tunnels and were then moved had happened, the process might be repeated and cause a shower.
