They often leave the water at once, darting through the air in the same direction for 200 yards or more, and then descend to the water quickly, rising again and then renewing their flight. Sometimes the dolphin may be seen in rapid pursuit, taking great leaps out of the water and gaining upon his prey, which take shorter and shorter flights, vainly trying to escape. until they sink exhausted.

It is difficult to believe that ants will kill snakes. but such is the case. and scientists have discovered that in cer- tain regions this class of reptile has no more persistent enemy. The large red- brown forest ants are the most im- placable. and a curious thing about the attack of these tiny creatures on the reptiles is that they kill it for food and not on account of natural antipathy. When some of these ants catch sight of a snake they arouse the Whole com- munity at once. In platoons and bat- talions the little fellows set upon it, striking their “nippers” into its body and eyes at thousands of points at once. So rapidly is this done that the “But probably he will have to wait a few hundred years. and then his popular audience will be a languid one.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. was the reply. -' _‘ A Russian oil tank named the Wadi- mir some years ago exploded in mid- m-pan. when every one of her crew perished. This disaster took mace In the southern Pacifier-London Answers- For eleven hours the officers and crew of the Helios worked like de- mons at the pumps. making the most desperate efforts to keep the oil from reaching the fire room. By the end of that time eight of the crew lay uncon- scious on the deck, overcome partly by exhaustion and partly by the fumes. it was now only possible to work two of the pumps. and it became certain that. unless help arrived in another hour, the ship. with every living soul on board, would perish. it should be mentioned that every lifeboat on the Helios had been damaged during the storm. Half an hour passed. and by then only the captain and the mate were working at the pumps. The destruc- tion of the vesel was now only a mat- ter of minutes. It was at this critical Juncture that the oil tank was sighted by the Majestic of the White Star line, and twenty minutes later the crew of the-doomed ship were safely on board the liner. As the last man scrambled on board the Majestic from the boat which had been sent to the help of the Helios a mountain of flame sprang from the decks of the oil tank. and a few min- utes later the blazing vessel sank be low the water. * -- The fight they made for their lives was one of the most desperate that has ever been waged on.the ocean. Directly the tank had burst the fire, men had been ordered out of the tire- room. There was no time to quench the fires, for the firemen would cer tainly have been suffocated by the fumes of the oil had they remained below to do so. The crew flung themselves at the pumps like madmen. The oil soon be gun to fume. and no man could keep at the pumps for more than a few minutes Without becoming overpower- ed. The captain of the Helios order- ed all the crew on deck. and four in their turn went below every five min- utes to work at the pumps. The crew of a Norwegian oil tank named the Helios had a terrible expe- rience a few years ago in mid-Atlan- tic. During a heavy gale. in which the Helios suffered very rough han- dling in the mountainous seas, her oil tanks. containing 60,000 gallons of crude oil. burst and flowed into the bunkers. threatening to penetrate in a few minutes into the fireroom: The two survivors were the only two on deck when the fumes burst from the tanks and in their efforts to save the others had very nearly perished themselves. Below the decks. which the crew of the German tramp penetrated with great dimculty and danger to them- selves. for the oil was still fuming. six of the oil tank’s crew were found dead in their bunks. where they had been suffocated by the fumes in their sleep. Three of the crew had succeed- ed in reaching the deck. but had died subsequently. The mate of the German tramp. who was in charge of the boat, at once guessed that the oil had “fumed” on board the oil tank. probably at night. and that the two men in a state or collapse were probably the only sur- vivors of the disaster. This subse quently turned out to be the case. Then the captain of the German tramp sent a mu g) thp spent ship. .rvt- Whén th'é boat’e éT'ew reached her decks they saw five men tying on the deck. three of whom were dead. The other two were in a state of collapse. but alive. A few years ago a Russian oil tank. the Omar, which sailed from Batrum bound for Bombay with 40,000 gallons of oil on board. was sighted in the Pa- cifir' by a German tramp steamer nam- ed the Velter Feud 'l‘lw Omar was flying signals or distrese and when sighted was apparently completely dis- abled. for she was making no head way. The sea was quite calm. and the cap- tain of the VMtvr Feud approached within hailing distance of the disabled Ship. hm no reply came from her In response to his hail. There is also the remote danger of the oil “fuming." When the oil “fumes” the working or the ship be- comes almost impossible. On a “rum- ing” oil tank no one can remain below deck for more than ten minutes with- out becoming overcome by the oil fumes. which are a hundred times more deadly to human life than coal gas. The most terrible tragedies of the ocean have occurred on board these death traps. The oil tank is a vessel whose cargo consists of oil. which is carried in great tanks. Two dangers are ever present to all on board-namely. that the oil may heat and explode. which means the instant destruction of the ship. or that it may burst from the tanks, in which case the ship is almost certain to be destroyed by fire. Besides the Constant Danger of the Oil Heating and Exploding and Instantly Destroying the Vessel There Is Also the Peril of “Fuming.” The most dangerous sort of ship afloat is that particular kind of vessel known as the oil tank. and there isn’t a saflorman who will sign on for a voyage in one if he can get a job on board any other class of vessel. DEATH LURKS IN THE CARGO. Ships That Are a Constant Men- ace to All on Board. In the latter part; of our lesson we find Him in the synagogue in Caper- naum on the Sabbath day and so teaching that all were astonished at His doctrine, for He taught with au- thority. The words were not His, but His Father’s. for He said only what the Father told Him to say (John xii, 49; xiv. 10: vxii, 8). Power belongeth unto God. and where the word of a king is there is power (Ps. lxii, 12 (Ecol. viii. 4). 0n the night of His ar- rest His two words “I am" sent the Roman soldiers to the ground, for it was the same voice which said. “Let there be light” (Gen. i, 3). A demon possessed man was in the synagogue, and the evil spirit knew Him and call- ed Him Jesus of Nazareth, the Holy One of God (verse 24), for the demons believe and tremble (Jas. ii. 19). It is not believing about Jesus Christ that saves. else all demons might be saved. but it is submission to Him as God and the reception of Him as the Saviour of sinners. See how the demons confess what many intelligent religious people today refuse to be- lieveâ€"that Jesus is God. They also be- lieve in a place of torment into which He will cast them at the appointed time (Matt. viii. 29). This, too. is ridi- culed by many. but as truly as this demon obeyed the voice of Jesus and came out of the man so will all peer pie obey Him to whom He will semi “Depart from me. ye cursed. into ever- ' lasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels!" (Matt. m. 41). I Thess. ii, 12; I Pet. v, 10). We may so know Him as to be blind and deaf to all but His face and His voice, and thus He will make us fishers of men to complete His elect church during this age of the postponement of the kingdom, because they said, “We have no king but Caesar,” “We will not have this man to reign over us.” After John was put' in prison Jesus began to preach the gospel of the kingdom of God, urging men to repent and believe the gospel (verses 14, 15). Both John and Jesus and also the twelve preached that the‘ kingdom was at hand, the kingdom plainly foretold by all the prophets. a kingdom of peace and righteousness under a right- eous king. before whom all kings will fall down and whom all nations will serve. Then shall the nations learn war no more. and grom a righteous Is- rael at the center, with Jerusalem as the throne of the Lord. the earth will soon be filled with the glory of the Lord (Isa. xxxii. 1. 17; ii, 4; J er. iii, 17; Ps. lxxii, 11). Truly. it is worth While to follow such a leader through all trials to such a kingdom and to walk worthy of it and Him (Matt. xvi, 27; Text of the Lesson, Mark i, 14-”. Memory Verses. 16, 17â€"Golden Text, Matt. ix, 37, 38â€"Ocmmentary Pro- pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. According to the harmony of the gos- pels. it would seem that Jesus returned to where John was preaching, and as he cried on two diderent days. “Be- hold the Lamb of God!” two of John’s disciples. Andrew and probably John, the brother of James. followed Jesus and spent some time with Him one day. after which Andrew found his brother. Simon. and brought him to Jesus, and the inference is that John brought his brother James. Then Jesus went into Galilee to Bethsaida. the city of Andrew and Peter, and called Philip to follow Him. After this Philip brought Nathanael. and thus we see the first six disciples ac- cording to John 1. 29-51. They seem to have received several calls before they left all to follow Him fully. The lesson today indicates a call to An- drew and Peter as they were casting a net into the sea. and to James and John as they were in the ship with their father mending their nets. The account of this incident is found in Matt. iv. 18322. as well as in our lesson verses from Mark. The incident of Luke v. 1-11. seems to have been wholly different and at a different time. At that time He used Simon’s boat as a pulpit and then tilled both his boat and that of his partners, James and.John. with fishes. We must ever distinguish between Chris- tians and disciples. A Christian is one who truly receives Jesus Christ as his Saviour and thus becomes a child of God, justified freely by His grace (John 1, 12: Rom. iii, 24; v. 1). There are no degrees in salvation, for all who are in Christ are equally saved by His precious blood. He obtained eternal redemption for all, and all who receive the gift of God. which is eter- nal life. have it without money or works of any kind on their part. Dis- cipleship follows. and as it is so costly to the believer few are willing to pay the price: hence the whole hearted dis- ciples are comparatively few. and there are many degrees in discipleship and many calls to obtain the few. See Luke xiv. 26. 27, 33: Matt. x, 37. 38: xvi, 24. Having saved us fully. freely and forever. He desires us to be ever, only, all for Himself. His own special property. that He may live His life in us and reveal Himself through us to the world (Ps. iv. 3: Tit. ii. 14. R. V.; II Thess. iv, '10, 1]). The ministry of John the Baptist seems to have been very brief, and, having been imprison- ed because hated by a wicked woman, he was in due time beheaded. and the Lord Jesus sufllered it to be so. al- though He said that no greater was ever born of woman (Matt. xi, 1]). We cannot understand. but we must have unbounded confidence in God. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. SUNDAY SCHML Lesson lX.-â€"First Quarter, For March 3, 1912. Upper Tawn - Durham Mrs. A.
