epoch-making work This is the first
volume of Professor Harnack's "Chron-
ology of Old Christian Literature One
of the most interesting portions of this
book it its discussion of the problem of
the chronology of the life of Paul. It's
positions in this matter, if accepted,
will have important bearings upon the
history of the beginnings of Christian
ity. The general opinion hitherto has
been that six years interviewed between
the death of Christ and the martyrdom
OF Stephen, and Paul's conversion
has been supposed by many to have
occurred in the year A d. SO. But
Professor Harnack. after a very careful
sitting of the evidence bearing upon
the date when Festus became Governor
OF Caesarea, decides for A. d. 30 or 90
as the date when FeStus entered on
that duty. This inference, combined
with other data, would Locate Paufs
conversion in A. D. 20 or 30. or the
year of the crucifiXion. This fact, if
fact is a remarkably stirring piece of

marks, it had been assumed that the
events recorded in the first nine chap
ters of Acts covered a period of six
years. According to Harnack, the time
must be measured by six or nine
months. The death of Christ and Pauls
conversion are separated by less than
a year. What picture this gives us

LONDON LOTTERY CLUBS.
Devices of the Poor to Get Something
For Nothing.

One of the most noticeable features of
the alien population of the East End
is its tremendous devotion to gambling
in any shape or form. Not content with
a score or so of games of chance that
afford opportunity for losing money
lottery clubs are extensively organized
whereat every variety of article is raf-
fled for And of these clubs it should
be noted foreigners have by no means
a monopoly of membership. The prize
to be drawn for is frequently decided
upon by vote of members. In winter
overcoats and half-tons of coal are pop
ular; in summer bottles of Rhine wine
are often on the list. A weeks pro-
visions complete is 4 very usual prize.
Many of the members of these clubs
are of the very poorest of the poor, yet
the excitement of gambling make the
actual winning of the prize quite a
secondary consideration. Men and wo-
men alike are present at the drawings,
and half-starved. raggedly-clothed
workers in sloD tailors' sweating dens
may be seen breathlessly watching the
progress of half dozen or more raf-
fles in which they are interested. IT
nothing is won it means for them yet
nearer approach to starvation during
the ensuing week In some big fac
tories there are men who derive quite
ample incomes from starting lotteries.
They study the wants of their COM
rades and put up articles selected ac-
cordingly.
When holiday times are approaching
return tickets to some popular resort
will always draw, and an outlay OF
five or six shillings frequently brings in
a like amount of profit. Chances Will be
sold at from one penny to three pence
or four pence each. And the persuasive
argument will be used, Here, mate,
knock off one-half pint to take
chance Fancy a day at the seaside for
tupence." Such pleadings prove very
effective, and where one man sets the
example dozens will follow. Among
girl operatives lotteries are in high fa-
vor. They flourish exceedingly in some
great work shops, despite all the efforts
of employers to put them down. Most
often are they organized by middle
aged women, who buy look
ing hats or startling blouses, which
dangled before the work girls eyes,
soon persuade her TO take a chance.
Some girls in this way spend two or
three shillngs a week. Should the
work girl not require the article she
wins she herself raffles it. All of them
are aware of the enormous profits made
on such transactions, but that is for
gotten, or the fact ignored, when the
tempting prospect is revealed of get
ting a pair of boots or feather boa
for two pence.-Cassell's Journal.

Animal Light.

A French scientist, Dr. Raphael Du-

rate studies of many kinds of light pro-
ducing creatures and has discovered
that while incandescent electric light
wastes about 9S per cent. of the energy
utilized the light emitted by the fire
fly and the glow-worm wastes only .
per cent. In other words. the animal
light is forty-eight times cheaper
Thousands of creatures have light

have it also, among the latter certain
mushrooms that grow in Brazil and
Australia. Some of these mushrooms

Drugstore Philosophy.

drugstore clerk, as he looked industri-
ously out of the window, Il can't possi-

pensary. Sorry. but l couldn't do it. 1

Burning Tree of Burmah.

There has lately been added to the
collection Of plants at the Botanic Gar
dens a Madras, India, a specimen of
strange tree. 1t is in size scarcely
more than a bush, but others of its spe
cies are known to have attained, in
their habitat in the Himalayas, Bur
nah, and the Malacca Peninsula, the
dimensions of a large tree, from fifty to
seventy-five feet in hight. The Ma
draS specimen is surrounded by
strong railing which bears the sign:
''Dangerous-A1 persons are forbidden
to touch the leaves or branches of this
tree" 1t is, therefore. forbidden tree
in the midst of the garden but no one
is tempted to touch it, for it is known
to be burning tree" This name is a
misnomer. for the tree stings rather
than burns Beneath the leaves there
are stings compare BILE to those nettles
which when touched pierce the skin
and secrete fluid which certainly has
a burning effect. The sting leaves no
outward sign, but the sensation of pain
persists sometimes for months, and is
especially keen on damp days, or when
the place which has been wounded is
plunged in water. The natives in the
parts of Burmah where this tree grows
are in such terror of it that they fly in
haste when they perceive the peculiar
odor which it eXhales. If they hap
pen to touch it they fall on the ground
and roll oyer and over on the earth
with shrieks. Dogs touched by it
yelp and run, biting and tearing the
part of their bodies that has been
touched. A horse which had come in
contact with burning tree" ran like
a mad thing, biting everything and
everybody that it could reach. A mis-
siOnary at Mandalay who investigated
a leaf of the plant with his forefinger,
suffered agony for several weeks, and
for ten months felt occasionally dart
ing pains in his finger.-Public Opin-
