Jan., 3, 1911 OFF WITH THE OLD ON WITH THE NEW! - - v It is the spirit of youth to hur ry, to rush forward, to demand constant changes, speed the part ing year, welcome with acclaim the new year, as tho the ever tobe was to surpass what has been. , The passing of nineteen ten must be one of regret or rejoicing, from personal standpoints, because of such environments that have given joy or sorrow, produced the har vest ,of plenty or left the barren field, with its Munt, ill favored weeds. If nineteen ten has brought prof it and happiness, in their combi nation for real good, both to the individual and those about, then looking backward is pleasant. There were sacrifices made hearti ly, unselfishly. There were bless iugs received and devoutly appre ciated. There was gain to self without taking from others. There was giving to others with gain to self. Farewell, nineteen ten of bles sed memories ! - Unhappy the one who may not look back and be thankful for the vear iust departing, to be laid4 awav. its history made. And to the one who so greedily demands, nineteen eleven, what is the year to be unless there be some profit, some joy, some sacrifice to be made to look forward to, and thereby inspire hope, courage and a better Christian spirit t No one "kills time" it is the loss of individual life that goes with the wasted hour. If the past year has seen the loss of time, thoughtlessly wasted, to welcome the new year should mean no more waste, instead a building up, so that each year passed may have its mark of success, and each new year welcomed to further in crease the success of right living. Theu the years will not be bound aries to laboriously clamber over with pain and effort, but simply milestones marking the line to that happy end that will crorn the righteous life.

PININ&-0N SEA U3CH!iV' Queer ; Way In Whleh the OluttM Starfith-Devours It Fray. Fights to the death are common be tween sea urchins and starfish. The starfish when ready for battle raises one of us arms toward the sea"ruTchln. the urchin shoots out all his bristling spines, or needles, and, In addition to hia always 'visible arms, brings out an arm that . Is never seen unless It 1 needed for "active -use. This usually Invisible weapon n -a sort' of nipper, edged with teeth. During one tight between- a sea urchin and a starfish the starfish, 'with a sudden --. movement, broke off the pincers of the urchin. ' The pincers remained Imbedded in the flesh of the starfish. Finding bis chief weapon gone,' the "urchin drove all his needles Into the back of the starfish, not all together,' but one' after another, with all the method of calcu lated action. As the needles entered the back of the starfish the starfish broke them, one by one. .The urchin, rendered powerless by the loss of bis needles, made a few mechanical move ments In self defense and then lay mo; tionless and 'powerless on the water. After a few minutes' hesitation and a close scrutiny of his subject the Star fish approached the urchin and pre pared to devour him. But as the urchin was six times larger, than bis haiouth he turned out his stomach In the manner noted by naturalists as a common maneuver of certain animals and, having rejected his stomach lin ing.

Later be was seen to move with more activity. One morning, warmed up for action by the power of the sun's beat, he moved bis stomach rapidly from side to side and from top to bottom and rejected the spines, fins, bone plates.
