Modi Romantic Interest
in Cape Chestnut Tree
It seems fitting that the history of
the Cape Chestnut tree (Olodendrum
capensis), often considered the most
beautiful of all evergreen flowering
trees in southern California, should
also be full of romantic Interest
The Cape Chestnut Is a native of
tike Cape of Good Hope, In South Af-
rica, and Is noted for Its abundant lav-
ander-pink Boyers which appear In
large cluster or panicles. It has large
oval leaves resembling some of the va-
rieties of avocado. The general shape
of the tree Is rounded and spreading,
attaining a height of 35 to 40 feet
The name Calodendrnm Is from the
Greek words, “Calo“ beautiful, and
“denclron,” tree. Probably the first
pin of “California" was originally de-
frag from the Greek word “Colo.”
While the tree does not belong to the
regular chestnut family the back
seeds ar nuts appear In pairs In a
map burr, resembling the edible

Usually, the author must blame his

All Spiders Have Poison
Glands; Not All Poison
AH spiders possess a pair of poison
glands. The primary purpose Is to
kill the prey on which they feed. In
most the poison Is comparatively In-
nocuous to human beings, says the In-
dianapolis News, despite legends to
the contrary that have arisen In con-
nection with certain species like the
tarantula. The bite of any spider
strong enough to pierce the skin may
give rise to local Inflammation and
pain, depending principally upon the
amount of poison Injected. The bite
of the large species of the family
Avlculariidae, sometimes called My-
gales, and sometimes, but erroneous-
ly, known as tarantulas, may be pain-
ful, though got necessarily serious,
provided the health of the patient Is
good. There is one., possible exception
to the Innocuous nature of the poison,
supplied by. the species of the genus
Lathrodectus, one of the Therldlldae,
found in Chile, Madagascar, Austra-
lia, New Zealand and south Europe,
where they are held In great fear by
the people.
Spiders £ ite from the Carboniferous
period, Arthrolycosn and others from
the coal beds of Europe and North
America being closely allied to the
printing genus, Liphistius. Remains
of spiders from the Baltic amber beds
of Oligocene age and from nearly
coeval fluviatile or lacustrine depos-
its of North America belong to forms
Monties l with or closely related to
existing genera.

m The Greet Pyramid
The Great Pyramid was erected in
the reign of Khufa or Cheops, prob-
ably about 3,700- B. C. Its base
covers 13’ acres. It Is 451 feet high
(its original height having been 481
feet). The length of each side
Is 748 feet It bas been estimated
to contain abort 2,300,000 stone
blocks o£ an average volume 40 cubic
feet and to weigb over 6,000,000 tons.
According to Herodotus, it must have
taken 100,000 men 20 years to con-
struct. This pyramid was built with
a sepulchral chamber to contain the
body of Cheops; it Is probable that
this body, with the royal jewels, was
stolen centuries ago. The stone for
the pyramids was taken from the Mo-
kattam and Turn hills on the opposite
side of the Nile, and traces of the
road by which It was conveyed are
still visible. The methods of construc-
tion and reasons fhr~Rs locution coir
only bo conjectured. According to
some writers, its purpose was to give
employment to the numerous captives
as much as to Immortalize the ruler.
Joker Postage Stamp
Niue, one of the islands of the South
Seas and a dependency of New Zea-
land, for many years used the stamps
of that commbnwealtb overprinted
with the name “Nine” and • value Mr-
pressed In native words using Eng-
lish letters. In 1003, when a new sup-
ply of stamps arrived, one In partlcu-
Iaf seemed to cause an unusual
amount of merriment on the part of
the natives. An Inquiry revealed that
the stamp was overprinted "Tahae
Silent" instead of “Tebae Slleni"
which does not seem provocative of
much mirth until It was learned that
the former means “Thief Shilling" and
hot “One Shilling" as Intended by the
printers.

races which preceded them
may be properly presented the teacher
must master the book of'Matthew as
a whole, and then present each lesson
in its relation to the central purpose
of the book.
The central theme >f Matthew is
‘‘Jesus Christ, the son of David, the
son of Abraham, the covenant King"
(Matt. l:t).
I. The Birth of Jesus, the King
(Matt. 1:18-25).
1. The Saviour was to be the seed
of a woman (Gen. 3 :15), the son of
a virgin. This was fulfilled in the
birth of Jesus. The genealogy (Matt
1:1-17) shows bis legal right to the
throne. Only a descendant of David
could be recognized.
2. The Saviour was to be divine
(Isn. 9:6).
He must be more than the son of
David in order to be a Saviour. He
must be both human, and divine.
Jesus was begotten by the Holy Ghost
and born of the VT gin Mary, thus be-
coming Immanuel vhfch in Its fullness
means “God with us, God for us, and
God in us.”
II. The Childhood of Jesus, the
Kins (Matt. 2:1-23).
•1. Wise Men from the East seeking
Israel’s King (vv. 1, 2). Christ’s ad-
vent was heralded by a-star which
guided men of a foreign nation to seek
and- to worship him, even pouring out.
their gifts to him. These men were
Persian or Arabian astrologers, stu-%
dents of the stars. Their attention
was attracted by the appearance of-
an unusual star. Through the Influ-
ence of the Jews who remained in
Chaldea, or the direct Influence of
Daniel extending to this time, they
had become acquainted with the hope
of the Jews as to the Messiah. They
.may have known of Balaam’s prophecy.
(Num. 24:17).
2. Herod seeking to kill Jesus- (w.
3-8, 16-18). The news brought by the
Wise Men struck terror to Herod’s
heart. He was not alone in this for
all Jerusalem was troubled with him.
This news ought to have brought joy,
but a glimpse at the social customs
in and about Jerusalem at that day
enables us to understand why Herod
and ail Jerusalem were troubled. A
Saviour, who would save them from
their sins was not wanted. Herod de-
manded of the priests and scribes in-
formation as to where Christ should
be born. The fact that they were able
to tell him quickly shows that they
had a technical knowledge of the
Scriptures, but not a heart for the
Saviour set forth therein. This oc-
curred In Jerusalem, the city of the
King, the place of all places where
he should have been welcome. It fre-
quently occurs that where the greatest
privileges are, there the greatest In-
difference Is shown to spiritual mat-
ters. When the Wise Men returned to
their country by another way, Herod
slew all the male children two years
and under In and around Bethlehem.
3. The King found by the Wise Men
(vv. ,9-12).
Having obtained the desired Infor-
mation these men started immediately
to find Jesus. As they left the city
the star which guided them in the east
appeared again to direct them to the
place where Christ was. When they
found him they worshiped him. They
did not see any miracles, only a babe;
yet they worshiped him as king.
“Blessed are they that have not seen,
and yet have believed” (John 20:29).
4. The King protected (vv. 13-23).
(a) Flight to Egypt (vv. 13-15). To
escape Herod’s wicked aim, God direct-
ed Joseph to take Mary and the child
Jeans and flee to Egypt. In obedience
to the heavenly vision he went and re-
mained there until Herod’s death.
(b) Return to Nazareth (vv. 19-23).
Upon the death of Herod, the angel
of the Lord directed Joseph to take
Jesus and his mother and return to
the land of Israel. Though Herod was
dead it was not proper for him to re-
turn to Judea. By divine direction he
turned aside into parts of Galilee and
dwelt at Nazareth.
Nazareth has held a fair renown
through the centuries only because It
was the spot where Jesus grew In wis-
dom and stature, and to favor with
God and man.

Sixty-Six Ton Boulder
Can Be Rocked by Touch
The celebrated Logan atone, which
la one of the sights of the Oornlah
coast, has been presented to the Na-
tional trust along with Treeu castle,
the picturesque promontory on the
west side of which the rock stands.
▲ romantic piece of coast scenery Is
-thus made safe from spoliation for
all time.
Although the Logan stone weighs 68
tons, it can be rocked on Its base by
the touch of a child’s hand. For a
long time it was believed that, sensi-
tive as It wus to Blight pressure, it was
Impossible to move it from its base.
Abont 100 years ago, however, a na-
val lieutenant proved that this wasn't
true. With the help of a boat’s crew
he rolled it off the base. But he then
found that he had to replace it, ac-
cording to legend, at, a cost of £2,000,
but accounts still surviving show it
was just under £125. The incident,
however, meant a “black mark”
against him, so that he got no further
promotion.--— ---------:—

Variety of Weeds That
Are Deliberate Thievea
Weeds, like cultivated plants, have
the power of adaptation. They con-

which enable them to dodge or to

Women With Giraffe Necks
The ability of the human body to
adapt itself to varying conditions re-
mains one of the unsolved riddles of
science. Hindu fakirs, holding one
arm in the air as part of a religious
observance; others walking on sharp
splkes and broken glass; women—such
as the famous Ubangi savages, allow-
ing their lower lips to be distended
until they deserved the title “Duck-
Billed Ubangls”; all tltese—and more
—have been paraded through America.
But human ingenuity apparently
knows few limitations and has even
gone in for extending the human neck,
and this type Is known as the "giraffe-
necked women of Burma.” These
necks'are stretched from infancy until
the elongated connection between
shoulders and bead is about 12 Inches
long.
