The discovery was made 200 miles inland during the summer, 1i0 MILES FROM OUTPOST Finding of the body apparently set the scal on the fate of Herman J. Koekhler, 60, of Orange, NJ , and Frod R. Conell, Jr., of Glen Ridge, N.J., who started a canoe trip into the Labradorâ€"Quebec peninsula in_ July, 1931. They were accompanied by Jim Martin, a veteran northland traveller, as guide. The pair, who sailed from Montâ€" real July 14, 1931, had planned to explore and chart new territory which up until then had been visitâ€" ed only by Indians. The discovery was made 170 miles from the Hudson‘s Bay Compâ€" any outpost at Davis Inlet. Insects Like Horses Best In these days when the hum of anapheles is heard in the still evâ€" ening air, the plaint goes up â€" These mosquitoes just love me betâ€" ter than anything on earth." Don‘t flatter yourself. As a choice of diet humans rark quite low in the mosâ€" 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 were arrived at by U. S. g.vernment enâ€" tomologists who subjected the blood in a gorged mosquito to precipitaâ€" tion tests which make it possible to tell what animal it came from. New $10,000,000 Highway Open This is Sir John A.

God‘s perfect knowledge of all a man‘s deeds, even of his inner life. Noâ€" where are the great attributes of God â€" his omniscience, his omniâ€" presence, his omnipotence â€" set forth so strikingly as they are in this magnificent psalim. 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 emphatâ€" ic assertion of the personality of man as distinct from, not abâ€" sorbed in, the Deity. In this psalm, the power of conscience, the sense of sin and of responsâ€" ibility, are felt and acknowledged, and prayer is offered to One who is not only the Judge, but the Friend. love me, he will kéepi_my-w;a.:. and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. John 14: 23. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.â€"We are not able to asâ€" certain when this psaim was written, though its title makes it to be a product of the time of King David. Place.â€"There is nothing in the pslam to indicate at what place it was first written. The first section of the psalm is a declaration and confession on the part of the psalmist of God‘s absolute ommiscience, ackâ€" 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 knowâ€" est my downsitting and mine upâ€" rising; Thou understandest my thought afar off. 3. Thou searchâ€" 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, 0O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogethâ€" er. 5. Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thy hand upon me. Jehovah knows every individâ€" ual thoroughly; knows, with firstâ€" hand knowledge, as the resuit of personal search and tracing and testing. The hand suggests the sweet sense of companionâ€" ship; the ministry of soothing; and the ministry of guidance. 6. Such knowledge is too wonderâ€" 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 quesâ€" tion? Say, rather, that we thereâ€" fore believe and adore. His Omnipresence As man‘s thoughts can nevet be hidden from God, who knows all things, so now the psalmist declares that man cannot hide himâ€" self from God, no matter in which direction he might flee, for God is everywhere present in the world. R 7. Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presonce? 8. If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in Sheol, beâ€" 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 tkee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to thee. Abhorrence of Wickedness In the 19th verse the psalmist switches abruptly from contemâ€" plation of the divine to express a hope that righteous vengeance will overtake the wicked. Yet the psalmist does not think of himâ€" self as incapable of sinning in his own life â€" he is suddenly overâ€" whelmed with a new longing to be utterly clean from any posâ€" O 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 El mt _ M natad way everlasting.

RTIRRI Adzm ul Spiders Possess Huge Appetites The spider is one of the most sucâ€" cessful animals in the struggle for existence. It has adapted itself to life under almost every condition, in all latitudes and in all temporaâ€" tures. Spiders vary very much in size, from the tiny garden spider to a South American form that preys on humming birds. a It is 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 deâ€" velopment can be found amongst spiders, from the hunting variety to the webâ€"spinning garden spider, which snares a plentiful supply of food with its beautiful geometric web. An insect destroyer, the spidâ€" er demands respect. Its appetite is insatiable. COULD BE COMMERCIALIZED A wellâ€"known scientist bas stated that a man, eating at the same rate as a spider, would require a "whole fat ox for breakfast, an ox and five sheep for dinner, two bullocks, and eight sheep and four hogs for supâ€" per, and just before retiring nearly four 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 said to be more durable than those made of silk spun by the silkâ€"worm; but the feeding is a serious item, Farm Notes . .. As in Eastern Canada from early pioneer days, the root celâ€" 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 construcâ€" tion. Old lumber and materials on hand may be utilized whereâ€" ever possible. To show how a substantial root cellar may be made, the Agricultural Enginâ€" gering 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 Extenâ€" sion Division, Dominion Departâ€" ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. Ideal Location Important factors upon which the measure of success of storing vegetables depends are the locaâ€" tion of the cellar, temperature, humidity, and ventilation. The 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 runâ€" off periods. By having a south enâ€" trance, sunshine and air may be admitted which will help to keep the vegetables in a dry conditior. Vegetables, especially potatoes, should not be exposed to very much light as it tends to spcil 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 temâ€" perature is kept around 60 deâ€" grees for the first two weeks. At such temperature, tissue injury that may have occurred at harâ€" vesting will heal more 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.
