Desert RattIesnakea.

In the sand wastes of Southern Cal ifornia two varieties of rattlesnakes are found. The larger ones, called tiger rattlers," sometimes attain a length of four feet, but 1t is said that they are sluggish, and far less danger Ous han a smaller variety named the -winder." This name comes from the snakes habit of moving sidewise, as well as advancing in the ordinary manner. It is also called the "horned rattlesnake," on account of the horn like prOtuberances over its eyes. It seldom exceeds a foot and a half in length, but its motions are very quick, and 1t has the reputation of being vicious

RuiIk-uD Wood.

There has come into use method of building up" boards by gluing or ce- menting together thin slabs of wood of different kinds, so placed that the grain of the various pieces is crossed. It is claimed that not only extra strength, but also extra flexibility and durability are thus obtained. Doors made of the prepared wood are said to be stronger than much thicker doors made of ordinary wood, and they do not warp. Packing-boxes and trunks are also IT. lde of this material.

Dust Storms that Bury Forests.

Some Russian travellers in Tibet, de- scribe the wonderful storms of dust that occur in Kashgaria near the foot of the Kuen-Lun Mountains. The dust in the air is sometimes so dense that complete darkness prevails. Occasion ally rain falls during such a storm, but the rain drops evaporate during their descent, and the dust carried with them falls in Jumps. Entire for ests of poplar trees are buried in dust hillocks forty feet high. These de- posits of dust are afterward moved on by the wind, but the trees that have been buried die, even after their dis interment.

that if the division began other nations
than Germany and Russia would take a

even France and the United States.
Great Britain has larger and more vital
interests at stake than any OF the other
nations. Continuing, the Standard says

THE SCHOOL CONTROVERSY.
The Adventist ChuI ch Makes a Statement
of Its Side of the Case.

The Adventist Church Makes a Statement
of Its Side of the Case.
During the last few weeks, as is well
known to the people of Boulder, there
has been much agitation and discussion,
both IN a public and private way, of the
relations the Seventh Day Adventist
church of this city sustains to the Boul
der public schools. Nor has the discus
sion OF this matter been confined alone
10 our own city, but has extended to
Denver and neighboring towns, and even
gone outside the state. In many in
stances, the erratic utterances and state
ments of irresponsible parties, and of
those outside of the Seventh Day Ad-
ventist church, have been accredited to
this organization. In view of this, it
seems but reasonable that the Seventh
Dav Adventist church of Boulder should
state to their neighbors and fellow CHI,
zens their true position on the school
question.
In the first place, Seventh Day Advent
lists are In no sense opposed to our system
of free public schools, nor are they in
any measure whatsoever opposed to the
government under which we enjoy our
present freedom. Among all the nations
of antiquity, and Of medieval and modern
times, has there arisen no government
of man so noble in its purposes, and so
true to the principles that should under
lie just and wise government. 1t is in
this country, as expressed by DR. Josiah
Strong. that the two great ideas of which
the Anglo Saxon is the exponent-civil
and religious Gberty-have had their
fullest development. For these noble
principles our forefathers gave their for.
tunes, their honor, and their lives. Hence,
for the American flag, as representing
these great basal principles, which lie at
the foundation OF our national existence,
every loyal heart must hold the highest
respect. And of these high and exalted
principles, for the defense of which our
nation was established, the system of
our free public schools was designed to
be the great conservator. Ignorance
and free government are incompatible.
Both cannot exist together on the same
SOIL Hence for the maintenance of true
principles in the home, the church, or
the state, education becomes an essential
factor. This education may beimparted
in the grades. the high school, and the
university, or it maybe given in private,
church and 'denominational schools. Into
the hands of truly educated people may
be safely entrusted the important inter.
