Church Property in Scotland.

A judgment recently delivered in the
House of Lords has produced conster-
nation in Scotland, and as result of
it there will probably be a great relig-
ious upheaval.
In October, 1900, there occurred the
famous union of the Free Church OF
Scotland with the United Presbyterian
Church. Twenty-four Free. Church
ministers opposed the union, and
through the Scotch courts and the
House of Lords have fought their claim
to the whole property of the Free
Church.
The courts rejected the claim. but
the House of Lords, by majority OF
two, reversed that judgment and rem
dered decision which places in the
hands of these twenty-fOur ministers.
a majority of them belonging to small
congregations in the Highlands. funds
amounting to over $1,000, GOO, and
property comprising over 1000
churches and manses throughout Scot
land valued at nearly $4,000, 900.

Snakes Wear Glasses.

Snakes may almost be said to have
glass eyes. inasmuch as their eyes
never close. They are without lids,
and each is covered with transparent
scale, much resembling glass. When
the reptile casts its outer skin, the eye
scales come off with the rest of the
transparent envelope out of which the
snake slips. This CLASSY eye scale is
so tough that it effectually protects the
true eye from the twigs, sharp grass
and other obstructons which the
snake encounters in its travels, yet
it is transparent enough to allow the
most perfect vision. Thus, If the
snake has not glass eye, it may, at
any rate, be said to wear eyeglasses.
