At Cornell University it has been lonnd that motion pacture theatres have reduced the patronage of the Ithaca saloons. In several Pennsyl- nnia counties. it is reported by local authorities. the picture shows have made a number of dunking places suxrrotitable. These facts argue that the social and enter- tainment features of the saloons account for much of their attrac- tiveness, as many students of social condition. have believed.

The schools were open tive hours a day for five days in each week. The all-year school seems to have many points in its favor. It is to he tried more ex- tensively in Newark, and if thor- oughly successful will be appliodto the entire school system. It is well worth a trial in other cities.

Every boy po n l It was at Zaanland, a town of this district, that Peter the Great learned the art of shipbuilding. In a little museum of this place there are shown many models of Iwindmills. among which is that of _the first windmill erected in Lsarr Alam. 1t stood in the water. and inhen it was desired to turn the isails toward the wind the miller was lobliged to get into his boat and, Making a. line, tow the whole struc- 'ture around until it was in a work- l .

When- ‘ever the wind changes in Holland lhundreds of millkeepers come forth and laboriously turn the tops about by hand. They may be seen pushing and straining on the gel- leries surrounding the towers mid- way between the grnund an.d the top or tugging at the spokes of a wheel on the ground. Zaaularul is especially the home of the windmill. It lips to the north and west of Amsterdam, and every Mun or village in this dis- trict begins or ends in "zaan."

Bridges. fences. doors, windows, walls, are green, [ranging from the green of peas to ithut of apples, olives, grass, mala, chite. beryl, old bottles and verdi- gris. i, The Lord of Woerst. and the Over :Ijssvl Monastery were parties to a {suit involving the question an to iwho owned the wind and enjoyed the right to employ it.

Then follows the beautiful promise, "While the earth remain- eth, seedtime and harvest, and cloud and heat, and summer sud winter, and day and night shill not cease." In verses 1-7 of chapter 9, immediately preceding tho printed portion of our lesson ‘passagc, the blessing which God pronounced up- on Noah is given. Noah becomes the founder of a new race, and to him, as to Adam and Eve, is in- trusted dominion over the lower forms of hie. A new emphasis is also placed upon the sanctity of hu- man life, based on the divine image in which man was originally cre- ated. 9.
