The fact that these eggâ€"laying mammals are fourd only in Ausâ€" tralia is thought to be due to the separation of that land from its neighbors early in the earth‘s hisâ€" eater, which also is an Australian animal.

A QUEER PARADOX British scientists, says the Chrisâ€" tian Science Monitor, on secing a siuffed specimen for the first time, thought that the taxidermist had tried to play a joke on them with cleverly assembled parts from seyvâ€" eral different creatures. Later, when confronted with a living specimen from its Australian haunts, the scientific men immediately named it Ornithorhynchus paradoxus, which is Greek for "birdâ€"billed parâ€" adox." It is known also as the duckâ€" bill, platypus, or Ornithorhynchus anatinus, and lives in ponds and T wo Animals Are Eggâ€"laying Lieut.â€"Commander Hugh F.

And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and ho was subject unto them; and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. From this moment Jesus possesses within him this ideal of life entireâ€" ly devoted to the kingdom of God. Now for the next eighteen years he applied himself in silence to the business of his earthly father at Nazareth, where he was called "the carpenter." 52. And Jesus advancâ€" ed in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men. said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought theo sorrowâ€" ing. 49. And he said unto theri, How is it that ye sought me? knew yet not that I must be in my Fathâ€" er‘s house? 50. And they understood not the saying which he spake unâ€" to them. These words of the boy Jesus are the first words of which we have knowledge that pasged the lips of our Lord. 48. And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother 43. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not; 44, but suppose him to be in the company, they went a day‘s journey; and they sought for him among.their kinsfolk and acquainâ€" tance: 45. and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him. 46. And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, Sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions: 47. and all that heard him were amâ€" azed at his understanding and his answers. These were ordinary rabâ€" bis ready to teach at any time. They sat crossâ€"legged on the floor like their pupils. The teaching took place in one of the many temple halls open to all and used for this purpose. It is the worst mistake of all to entitle the scene "Jesus Teaching in the .Temple." Luke says not one word about his teachâ€" ing. He listened, and asked respectâ€" ful questions. Jesus here is a wellâ€" trained boy, who knows his placo and acts with respect toward these rabbis. But even so, all who were listening were in amazement again and again at the understanding with which his mind grasped their combined thoughts, and with which he replied to the questions addressâ€" ed to him, revealing his inner grasp of the truth. We know that our Lord in his boyhood had never attended the schools of the rabbis (Mark 6: 2; John 6: 42) and therefore his later teaching was absolutely orgginal. We know that he had learned to write (John $: 6). We know that he was acquainted not ouly with Aramaic, but with Hebrew, Greek, and perhaps Latin; and that he had been deeply impressed by the lessons of nature. Visit to the Temple 41. And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover. 42. And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast. The law of Moses commanded all male Jews to attend at Jerusalem at the three feasts of passover, penteâ€" cost, and tabernacles; but this cusâ€" tom ha@ long fallen into abeyance, and it was a mark of devout living to go up once a year. The narrative brings out the piety of Joseph and Mary, On a son‘s thirteenth birthâ€" day the father brought the boy to the synagogue on the "Sabbath of Phylacteries" and presented him with phylacteries, which the son thenceforth wore at the recital of his daily prayer. The boy then beâ€" came a visible member of the Jewâ€" ish Church, and was called "a son of the law." Jesus had formerly seen his parents go yearly to Jerâ€" usalem, leaving him at home; now he went up with them for the first time. It was his first communion season. Luke 2: 4. And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisâ€" dom: and the grace of God was upon him. Nazareth, a town in Galilee, the hKome of Joseph and Mary for about thirty years became the place where Jesus spent practically all of his life up to the time of his baptism, and thus gave him the frequently used title "Jesus of Nazâ€" areth."
