Interesting characteristics of Lob

STEERS ana turtles.
HOLSTERS, when young and frivolous,
change their shells several times
year, but as they grow older and, pre-,
sumahly, more sedate they are content
with n new suit every summer. The
lobster IS his own tailor. and persons
who have watched the process say
mat the difficulty seems to lie in get

a series of conl ilslons lasting for sew
eral days. During these a faint line
OF breakage appears down the middle
of the back, which gradually grows
broader with every spasm. The head,
piece is the first to break entirely, and
suddenly n violent effort enables the
lobster to withdraw his head, leaving
the larger part of his eyes in the she'll

of two or three days.

HILLS IS NOW IUT.
Noted Preachers Resignation Accepted
by ChiSago Preahyterx.

4
Newell Dwight Hills is no longer
member of the Chicago presbytery .. the
Presbyterian Church The name of the
Brooklyn preacher who dared to re
nounce the confession Of faith Of that
church, was erased from the role Of the
presbytery at its weekly meeting Monday
morning. DIR. Charles e. Parkhurst of
the Madison Square Presbyterian Church,
New York, has joined DIR. Hills in his
opposition 10 the Westminster confession
of faith and in his sermon Sunday he
said things which provoked comment.
Apparently these two diyines are far
from being alone There are frequent ac-
cessions to their ranks, il being announc-
ed in Cleveland Sunday, by way Of Illus
tration, that Rev :. =. Sprccher and
Re5. Paul f. SuipAen, delegates to the
Presby terrain general assembly, would
favor the adoption of shorter creed.
The demand for a new creed Is pointed
out by some as showing he trend Of mod
ern thought in the church, and it is evil
dent that those fayoriDg the action viii
be satisfied with no minor changes. They
will ask for a new creed-a short one
and the question will be one that will
make the coming conference of unPrece-
dented interest.

of next month sees all tia. exhibits in
place and the fair fully inaugurated in
all its splendor, the authorities may be
congratulated ON their success.
The exposition is planned on a vaster
scale than any previous one, with the sin
gle exception of the Columbian EXPOSE
ton. American visitors will not, as at
some previous fairs, have any occasion to
blush for the exhibit this country makes
at Paris. With the exception of France
itself we have the greatest number of
exhibits, numbering nearly 1000 in all,
while Germany, the next in number, has
only about 1900. and England only about
a third as many as Germany. The Unit
ed States pavilion also will probably car
ry off tha honors as one of the gems of
the fair. Its interior decorations alone
