The Johnson-Varley method of trans mitting cable and wireless messages depends on the property : of thin me tallic strips or reeds of 'vibrating in unison when their note is the same, but if remaining quiet in the pres ence of other .vibrations.- Combining a number of these reeds, each with its own coil, and having a corresponding receiver at the other end, it Is made possible to send each letter, figure or other character with a single impulse, instead of requiring several imul ses as in the Morse system. The transmission is by high-tension cur rent of small quantity, and the usual charging of the cables with static elec tricity is. avoided. A number of dif ferent instruments can be operated simultaneously over the same cable, as the Impulses, do not interfere with those of different tuning. The appli cation of the principle to wireless tele graphy is said to make practicable an ingenious receiver to be used inde pendently for three different sets of vibrations, or tunings, so that it may pick up (1) general messages of the telegraphic system, (2) semi-private messages intended only for a certain number of stations, and (3) secret messages, which are receivable only by the special instrument In tune with the transmitter. The chaparral or dwarf forest of Southern California is found by F. G. Plummer, of the Forest Service, to be confined to the coast region from Monterey to San Diego, extending from sea level to a height of 8,000 feet. It is composed of trees not shrubs dwarfed by the insufficient winter rainfall, and embraces about 40 species, including oaks and more inflammable and less desirable soft woods. It is important, as a ground cover for the water-shed supplying wa ter for irrigation and municipal use. The cancer cure -of Prof, von Was sermann, German bacteriologist, seems to be injections of cosin tellurium and celenium. Some mice were entirely cured of cancerous ulcers ih ten days, after four injections, but- the experi menter cannot yet state that like amazing results can be expected in human patients. When two perfectly plane polished surfaces of steel are pressed together they . adhere more strongly than can be explained by atmospheric pressure, and 35 years or more ago Tyndall reached the conclusion that the phe nomenon is due in oart to molecular attraction. Some recent - investigaj tions of H. M. Budgett, reported to the London Royal Society, disprove this theory, showing that, the adhe sion results from the presence of a very thin liquid film. Some blocks of hardened steel were prepared, each weighing an ounce and a half and hav ing surfaces of 0.7 square inch polished flat to within a millionth of an inch of accuracy, and these were used to test the adhesive properties of many li quids. The contact faces were care fully freed from moisture and grease with alcohol before being smeared with , a very thin film of the liquid under test. On wringing together per fectly clean blocks, they fell apart under heir own weight; but blocks held together by films required to separate them a force ranging from 17 pounds for Rangoon oil to 22 for lu bricating oil, 29 for turpentine, and 35 for condensed water vapor. After washing the hands with soap, blocks rubbed on them showed adhesion as high as 90 pounds. There was no ad hesion from volatile liquids, like alco hol and benzine; and very little from viscous liquids, such as glycerine and glucose.- The microscope showed that the films, drawn out in thin lines, cov ered only a tenth or less of the metal faces. From varied experiments, it appeared that in the case of the par affin film, for instance, the 27 pounds required to part the plates included about 1 pound due to atmospheric pressure, 1 to surface tension, and 25 pounds to the actual tensile strength of the liquid. The tensile strength of water seemed to be as . high as 443 pounds per square inch.; , A new theory of the great fertility of alluvial soil has been brought to the notice of the Royal Microscopical So ciety by Rev Hilderic Friend. It is usually explained that the fresh soil brought by occasional floods keeps up the richness of the land, but now the real cause is affirmed to be the vast numbers present in the mud deposit of a . tiny worm that buries its head o wavM its tail above the surface. In some places an ounce of ooze has been found to contain a quarter of ah ounce of these worms. . 1 The name' of. Mr. W. J.

(Luke 2: u.) .7 ' Lesson Passage, Luke 2: 1-20. ; Passage 'for reading in opening ex ercises, Luke 2: 8-20. . ": Memory Verses, 10, 11. . Where and When. The place of the birth of Jesus was Bethlehem, a little city a few miles south of Jerusalem. Joseph and Mary came' to this city from : Nazareth, where they made their home. The exact time of his birth is not known, but by means of certain dates in Roman history, and the history, of Herod the Great, . and by making cer tain astronomical eclipses, it is now ascertained that Jesus was born about five years before the date usually as signed as A. D., or Anno Domini. This change., need . disturb no one, for the New Testament nowhere tells us what year and month Jesus was born. . Angelic Announcements. . The birth of Jesus, was foretold to the Virgin Mary by the angel, Gabriel, the same angel who foretold the birth of John the Baptist, (Luke 1: 26-38). It was also foretold by "an angel" to Joseph, who was engaged, as we would say, to be married to Mary (Matt. 1: 18-22). We must remember that the Son of God lived in heaven with the Father and Holy Ghost one God In three persons from all eternity. It was, therefore, natural that his birth should be of interest to the angels, and that angels should appear to men whe& such an unheard of event as the birth of the Son of God into the world was about to take place. Heaven and earth, after, all, are not far from each other. The birth of Jesus had been foretold centuries before by the prophets, and one had prophesied that he should be born in "Bethlehem in the land of Judah" (Micah 5: 2.) ' The Birth of Jesus. Mary and Joseph lived in Nazareth, almost a. hundred miles from Bethle ham. Nazareth was an . obscure and not very reputable town in the north ern part of Galilee, and Bethlehem was the birth-place and early home of. David, the great king of Israel. Both Mary and Joseph, were descendants of David, bujt they were poor. How, then, was it possible that Jesus should be born in Bethlehem? God brought it about through the Romans, who were masters of Galilee, Judea and all the surrounding country. The emperor, Caesar Augustus, made a decree that all the world which he controlled should be enrolled for taxation. This was a census taken, for information along several lines, but particularly for taxation. Ordinarily, of course people were enrolled in'-the places where they lived, but the Jews had a law that people" should be enrolled in the places from whence their families sprung, and also by families.! Tbis law was observed in , the case of the enrollment ordered by Augustus. Nat urally he would not care how it was done just so it was done, and per- hapsVit suited him and his Vking," Her od, all the better -that the Jews went to enroll' themselves by tribes and families. He could keep up. with them all therhetter. There is something no ble and pathetic in the way the Jews clung to their old family tribal divis ions, i. s - , And so it came to pass that Joseph and Mary both went from Nazareth to Bethlehem to be enrolled. They trav eled together, and most probably in company with- their' neighbors and friends. Thus they proceeded on their journey southward either , through Sa maria, or by way of Persia beyond Jor dan. They, were poor, and probably walked, or at best rode on donkeys. When they reached JBethlehem they tried to get into the jnn, or hotel, but others had preceded them, and there This is ttie to buy their home wants. 7; Here you are sure ; of getting just the Furniture you want, high-grade in every respect; design, quality and. fin ish, and, our prices are wonderfully reasonable. , We arrange terms and charge no more.

'brought forth her firstborn Son Wr?PiPffv,"m. in Addling clothed and laid him in one of the manner, I' her side (Luke, 2 : 6-7.) Sers b The Vision of the Shepherd. ; That same night there was anotho angelic visitation. Certain sherW were -keeping watch over their flSJ on the bleak hillsides near BethleW when suddenly an angel appear to them, and "the glory of the Lorn shone round about them, and th were sore afraid." But the angel toll them not to be afraid, saying that h came with good tidings of great iVw which shall be to all people. The eonrt message was that on that day, in Beth lehem,which Is called the city of David because It was the home of the kins in boyhood, there had been born the W expected Messiah, who was to be given as the Saviour of the world. Thev were given a sign by which to know that the angel's message was true and to identify the baby. The baby should be . wrapped in swaddling clothes showing It was an infant, and should befound lying in a manger, which was a very unusual thing. Scarcely had the angel given this message before the shepherds saw a great host of angels. The heavenlv host, which is called a multitude be cause there were so many, were sing" ing: "Glory to God In the highest, and on earth , peace among men in whom he, is well pleased" (Revised Version) The coming Messiah was the great glory of the revealing God. For the men' of earth it meant God's free grace, . and ' it should bring peace of soul and life. The shepherds did not linger; they had seen aC great sight, and believed the message; they started at once for Bethlehem that they might discover the sign which was to verify the mes sage. The baby was discovered lying in the manger. The shepherds made known the vision which they had seen, probably to all who would listen. It is evident that their testimony was heard by many in Bethlehem. All who heard wondered. Mary, different from the rest, and understanding what the vision meant, remembered the things they said, and meditated upon them. The shepherds returned to their flocks, giving praises to God. Lesson Explanations. Caesar Augustus The Roman em peror. All the world. All the Ro man world. Enrolled A census taken. Guirinius Governor of Syria. Every one into his - own City. This is ex plained in verse 4. In a Jewish cen sus "men were enrolled by families, and went to the family center. Swad dling clothes.-The usual dress for a Jewish infant. In a manger. The on ly convenient cradle at hand. The glory : of the Lord. A supernatural brightness. . To all the people. Jesus became flesh not for the , Jews only, but for all mankind. The city of Da vid. Bethlehem, because it was the original home of David. Christ. The Messiah. . A multitude of the heavenly host. A great company of angels and other celestial beings. Peace among men- in whom he is well pleased. The verse is a little hard to under stand, but it probably means that the blessings of the Messiah would come to those to whom in his good frm them into heaven The angels ap peared suddenly, but in their disap pearance they were seen to go into the heavens. Let us now go. That Is. pleasure God had ordained it. Away at once. All that heard. The shep herds told their story to all who would listen, and not to Joseph and Mary only. Mary kept all these sayings. That is, she remembered them.
