The discovery was made 200 miles Inland during the summer, 170 MILES FROM OUTPOST Finding of the body apparently eet the seal on the fate of Herman J. Koehler, 60, of Orange, N.J, and Fred R. Conell, Jr, of Glen Ridge, N.J., who started a canoe trip into the Labrador-Quebec peninsula [In July, 1931, They were accompanied by Jim Martin, a veteran northland traveller, as guide. The pair, who sailed from Mont. real July 14, 1931,-had planned to explore and chart new territory which up until then had been visit. ed only by Indians. The discovery was made 170 miles from the Hudson's Bay Comp- any outpost at Davis Inlet. Insects Like Horses Best Cows, Pigs, Dogs Also More Popular Than Humans In these days when the hum of anapheles is heard In the still ev- ening air, the -plaint goes up -- These mosquitoes just love mo bet- ter than anything on earth." Don't flatter yourself. As a choice of diet humans rank quite low in the mos- quito's preferred list. Horses head the list of the kind of blood the mosquito likes, then cows, then pigs, then dogs, then you, then chickens, Theso conclusions wero arrived at by U. S. government en- tomologists who subjected the blood in a gorged mosquito to precipita. tion tests which make it possible to tell what animal it came from. zkrieg ome _This is Sir John A. Mactaggart, 72-year-old Scottish real estate - operator, who heard there was "going to be a blitzkrieg iif a day or two" and didn't want "to be asleep in New York while a show of that kind is available" He stopped for the cameraman at La Guardia Field, New York, just before he took the Ameri- can clipper for Lisbon.

Palm 139, PRINTED TEXT, Ps. 139: 1.12, 23, 24 ' GOLDEN TEXT.--If a man love me, he will keep my word: sy Father will love him, and wo come unto him, and make our abode with him, John 14: 23, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--We are not able to as. certain when this psalm was written; though its title makes it to be a product of the time of King David. . Place.--There is nothing in the pslam to indicate at what place it was first written, In this lesson we have the op- portunity of considering a sub.' ject which has almost fallen out of modern thought, i.e. God's perfect knowledge of all a man's deeds, even of his inner life. No- where are the great attributes of God -- his omniscience, his omni- presence, his omnipotence -- set forth so strikingly as they are in this magnificent psalm. Nowhere is there a more overwhelming sonse of the fact that man Is beset and compassed about by God, pervaded by his Spirit; and yet nowhere is there a more emphat- ic assertion of the personality of man as distinct from, not ab- sorbed in, the Deity. In this psalm, the power of conscience, the sense of sin 'and of respons- Ibility, are felt and acknowledged, and prayer is offered to One who is not only the Judge, but the Friend. His Perfect Knowledge The first section of the psalm is a declaration and confession on the part of the psalmist of God's absolute omniscience, ack- nowledging 'that God knows all things including the psalmists's own life and thoughts and deeds. 1, O Jehovah, thou has searched me, and known me. 2. Thou know- est my downsitting and mine up- rising; Thou understandest my thought afar off. 3. Thou scarch- est out 'my path and my lying down, And art acquainted with all my ways. 4. For there is not a word in my tongue, But lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogeth- er. 5. Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thy hand upon me. B Jehovah knows every individ- ual thoroughly; knows, with first. - hand knowledge, as the resuit of personal search and tracing and testing. The hand suggests the sweet sense of companion- ship; the ministry of soothing; and the ministry of guidance, 6. Such knowledge is too wonder- ful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it. Our mind has no line with which to measure the Infinite. Do we therefore ques- tion? Say, rather, that we there- __fore believe and adore. , His Omnipresence As man's thoughts can never be hidden from God, who knows all things, so now the psalmist declares that man cannot hide him- self from God, no matter in which direction he might flee, for God is everywhere present in the world. "7; Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall. I flees from thy presence? 8, It I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in Sheol, be- . hold, thou art there. 9. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10. Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me, 11. If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night; 12. Even the "darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: Tho darkness and the light are both alike to thee, . Abhorrence of Wickedness In the 19th verse the psalmist switches abruptly from contem- plation of the divine to express a hope that righteous vengeance will overtake the wicked, Yet the psalmist does not think of him- self as incapable of 'sinning in his own life -- he is suddenly overs, whelmed with a new longing 'to be utterly clean from any pos. sibleisin in his own inner life. And thus he brings his marvel. lous confession of God's omni- science and omnipresence to a close, with a personal prayer that God would make his own life what it ought to be in the light of these truths, 238, Search me, 0 God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts. 24, And see if there be any wicked way- in me, And lead me in the way everlasting, The psalmist felt that what he wanted was a guide, who would take. Kim by the hand, and hold Lim up when he was ready to: fall, along the rugged journey of lite, or on the brink of a dangérous. precipice, ond me in the way pverlast- S.A SESS.

The spider is one of the most suc- = cessful*animals in the struggle for existence, It has adapted itselt to 'lite undor almost every condition, fn all latitudes and in all tempera: tures. t Spiders vary very much In slze, from the tiny gardén spider to a South American form that preys on humming birds. It 1s hard to account for the fear so many people have of spiders. They are valuable animals which do a lot of good. All degrees of de- velopment can be found amongst spiders, from the hunting varlety to the webspinning garden spider, which snares a plentiful supply of food with its beautiful geometric wob. An insect destroyer, the spid- er demands respect. Its appetite 1s insatiable. COULD BE COMMERCIALIZED A well-known scientist has stated . that a mau, eating at tho samo rate as a spider, would require a "whole tat ox for breakfast, an ox and five sheep for dinner, two bullocks, and eight sheep and four hogs for sup- per, and just before retiring nearly tour barrels of fresh fish." The question of food has so far prevented much use of the spider's silk for commercial purposes. Gloves have been made, and are sald to he more durable than those made of silk spun by the silk-worm; but the feeding is-a serious itom, Farm Notes . . . Practical Asset. -- A Root Cellar As in Eastern Canada from early pioncer days, the root cel- | lar in the Prairie Provinces has proved one of the most practical means of preserving and storing farm vegetable crops. Among the many methods in use, the root cellar has the advantage of low cost and simplicity of construc- tion. Old lumber and materials on hand may be utilized where- ever possible. To show how a substantial root cellar may be - made, the Agricultural Engin- cering Division of the Dominion ~ Experimental Station at Swift Current, Saskatchewan, has drawn up simple and effective plans for the construction of a root cellar, which are given in a recently issued Farmers' Bulletin entitled "A Practical Farm Root Cellar." It can be obtained by writing to Publicity and Exten- sion Division, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. Ideal Location - Important factors upon which the measure of success of storing vegetables depends are the loca- tion of the cellar, temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Tho ideal location for a root cellar is on the side of a hill. This will ensure proper drainage away from the cellar and prevent water from accumulating during run- off periods. By having a south en- trance, sunshine and air may be admitted which will help to keep the vegetables in a dry condition. Vegetables, especially. potatoes, should not be exposed to very much light as it tends to spail them for table use. Best Temperature The best temperature for the storage of vegetables is between 35 and 40 degrees F. However, in the case of potatoes better storage is obtained when the tem- perature is kept around 60 de- grees for the first two weeks. At such temperature, tissue injury that may have occurred at har- vesting will heal mere rapidly. Production of crude petroleum in Canada was increased in April to 634,869 barrels, as compared with 570,131 barrels in March, and 559,368 in April 1939.
