The Texas'
Level of Caspian Sea
Changes in Centuries
The Caspian, points out the Na-
tional Geographic society, has long
been a kind of Alice-in-Wonderland
lake, growing smaller or larger un-
der changing conditions. On the
whole, in spite of striking and
irregular variations, the level has
sharply declined. In prehistoric
times the sea had an elevation of
150 feet above the level of the
oceans, compared with its present
surface of 85 feet below that level.
Between the 14th and 20th centuries,
the drop amounted to roughly 37
feet.
Lacking an outlet, the Caspian Is
actually a lake rather than a sea.
Lying in the deepest section of the
great depression south .and south-
west of the Urals, it Is more than
700 miles long. Its kidney-shaped
outlines on the map resemble those
of its slightly smaller neighbor, the
Black sea, although the latter
stretches east and west instead of
north and south.
Ttie Caspian sea is the largest of
all inland waters. Covering nearly
170,000 square miles, its area
greatly exceeds that of the com-
bined surfaces of the Great Lakes.
Once, some authorities say, it was
part of a vast Asiatic sea linked
with the Arctic ocean, a belief sup-
ported by the presence of seals in
its waters.

Iron Long in Use
As Medium of Exchange
When Julius Caesar invaded Brit-
ain he found currency that posed
no counterfeiting problems. A flat
iron bar about 11 ounces in weight
was the “pound sterling” of that
era in southern Britain. At least five
other iron bars, multiples of 2%
ounces, provided a range of jpur-
rency suitable for domestic needs
before the Roman legions arrived.
This was not the earliest nor the
latest use of iron as a medium of
exchange. Had CaesAr employed
archaeologists he might have found
iron currency in his native land.
Ancient Etruscans, who lived north-
west of Rhine, between the Tiber
and the Aino rivers, bartered with
iron for at least several centuries.
If he lived today, he could see the
iron coins that circulated in Ger-
many, Norway, Sweden and Den-
mark during World War I, and the
steel pennies coined in the United
States during World War II.
With the possible exceptions of
South America, Australia and Ant-
arctica, iron in several forms has
been used as a standard of value or
article of barter on every conti-
nent and at various periods during
the past 3,000 years.
Fire-Repellent Paints
Various forms of fire resistant
paint, while admittedly subject to
further improvement, used exten-
sively for military purposes during
the war, now are attracting increas-
ing civilian interest. Fire repellent
paint coatings developed commer-
cially are usually sold in concentrat-
ed form, for thinning with water be-
fore application. The product is de-
scribed as a viscous liquid of white
or ivory tint, weighing about 12%
pounds to the gallon. It lias enamel-
like properties, high light reflective
values, and may be applied by
either brush or spray Nearly all
fire repellents have a-water base
and are unsuitable for exterior use.
Also, it is inadvisable to wash sur-
faces coated with fire resistant
paint, although zinc sulfate added
to the mixture will tend to seal the
surface and impart moisture-resist-
ant qualities. No fire repellent has
so far been developed to assure 100
per cent protection to wood during
Us lifetime, but much progress has
been made and paints with fire re-
pellent qualities are gaining in in-
terest and popularity.

Spading Time
"As soon as the fj;osl is out of the
ground,” say all the garden books,
“and the soil is sufficiently dry, it’s
time to spade.’’- It is easy to tell
when the frost is out, because the
soil, which was as hard as a brick,
becomes soft and muddy, so that at
first you are in danger of sinking

in up to your ankles when you walk
cm it. There is a pejint between the
two extremes when a handful of .soil,
patted between the palms, will
crumble. It is nol dry, but slightly
moist, yet not wet enough to hold
together in a mud-pie. At this point,
even clay can be spaded easily and
will break up without forming clods.
When the test indicates that this fa-
vorable condition prevails, do not
delay spading, otherwise, the soil
may dry out unduiy, and compel you
to wait for heavy i&ins to restore
the right degree of moisture.
Soil Tests
Tests mgde at Ohio State , ollega
dealing with soil aeration provide one
reason for spading. These tests
showed that to insure maximum
plant growth there must be a com-
plete change of the air in the soil, to
the depth of eight inches, every hour.
Compact soil interferes wit hthis ex-
change; and it is easy to prove that
garden soil is compact after a win-
ter of rain and snow. Spading loos-
ens the soil, lets air into it, and leaves
it in the best condition for water
and air to enter. Spading also
can be used to mix with the soil
coarse materials which will improve
its condition. Good soil, Ohio State
experiments showed, is corhposed of
25 per cent “pores” Containing air,
25 per cent “pores” containing wa-
ter, and 50 per cent solid matter.;

Religion Is something to lie done, God want a preacher (or anyone
You cannot get It. James says (l:|elae) to read His Bible* obey a part
27) “Pure religion and undented be-
fore God and the Father is this* To
visit the fatherless and widows in
their affliction and to keep himself
qnspotted from tlie world.” Pure
religion then, comes from following
the teachings of Christ. All of his
teaching are essential. It isn’t enough
just to stay out of mischief; oue must
also produce fruits of good Avol'ks'.
Oa tlie other hand many help the
orphans and unfortunate uiid are
very corrupt in their personal lives.
Such a person is partially right, blit
not wholly so.
The world needs to return to tlie
whole counsel of God.” The Scrlp-
turnes furnish us unto every good
work, 2 Tim. 3:10, 17. Learning and
obeying a few of them will not save.
We wouldn't want our druggist to
rend the doctor’s prescriptiofTT put in
n few ingredients and then say,
These others aren’t necessary. I’ll
just leave them out.” Neither does
! of it and
sentlal.”
God's plan of salvation is clearly
set forth in the Bible. Faith in Jesus
as. the soli of God, which comes as a
result of the evidence found In the
four gospels, is the first requirement,
Jii. 8:24, ‘Jesus then says" one must
repent, Lk. 13:3. He next prescribes
baptism in water and promises sal-
vation on these simple terms, Mk.
Id:Id. Which of the three can be
h ft out of the prescription) The
same Lord uttered all three com-
mands. Most churches teaeli the first
two. but says tlie Inst is non-essential.
Jesus or the apostles didn’t say so,
however. Unn such bo the true
religion of Christ?
The Church of Christ tenches and
prnrt lees ALL the eonimnuds of
Christ without any alterations. “Come
Hunt with us and we will do thee
good!”
