Seven In the bible.

The number seven plays IL prominent
part in events in the Bible. The crea.
ton took six days, and on the seventh
there was rest. On the seventh day of
the seventh month a holy observance
was ordained. and the Israelites feast
ed seven days and rested sever days.
Noah lad days warning OF the
food. II the seven years Of plenty
were foretold in Pharaoh's dream by
seven fat beasts, as were the seven
years by seven lean beasts. We speak
Of the seven heavens, and the seventh
son was supposed to be endowed with
pre-eminent wisdom. In short, there is
no other number which enters into the
Bible so often as seven. No doubt the
wide popularity OF the number and the
superstitions which are connected with
It came from its wide use in the Bible.

Eldest Sons.

According to some curious inves-
LEGATIONS conducted by English sci
entists, eldest sons tend to be Grim
inals and youngest sons paupers. A
great many thousand school chill
dren and many family histories have
been examined to yield these re-
suits. Firstborn children were
found to be, as a rule, taller and
heavier, with greater ability and en-
durance than the others. This is in
accordance with the popular feeling
in many countries that the oldest
child is superior to the others and
deserving of special privileges. Il
is well established fact that
among men of genius an undue pro-
portion are eldest sons.

Wood as Stronq as Iron,

Recent official tests of the many
valuable hard woods native to West
ern Australia have made known the
extraordinary properties of yate, be-
lieved to be the strongest of all
known woods. Its average tensile
strength is $4,000 pounds to the
square inch, equaling that of good
cast iron. But many specimens are
much stronger, and one was tested
up to seventeen and one-half tons
to the square inch, which is equal
to the tensile strength of wrought
iron. The sawed timber Of yate is
probably the strongest in the world.
The tree grows to a maximum
height of 100 feet and. has some
times a diameter of two and one
half or even three feet.

thirty inches long and a doubletree to

middle horse is placed far enough on
one side so the tongue does not inter-

keeps the evener balanced nicely and

ordinary neck yoke on the two horses

the third horse any convenient way.
