GETTING Rid Of Gnats.

Maj. Holder is a very inquisitive
Englishman, who has been wondering
why the Barbados, alone of the An
titles, are free from malaria. He thinks
it must be because the Barbados,
alone Of the Antilles, are free from
gnats. But why no gnats? Because
of the wild and benef1cent profusion
Of fish called millions" The millions
eat the gnats while they're still larvae.
Acting on Maj. Holders theory, the
Jamaicans. the people Of Colon and
the ~colonists Of British Guiana have
imported millions, and 10! the gnats
vanish. In Africa, where rage the
most deadly swamp fevers. millions
are employed with immense c
The same means has been adopted by
the Italian government to rid the Ro-
man Campagna of it's insect foes.

THE STORY.

TT WAS during the dark period follow.
1 ing the threatened invasion and de
struction Of Jerusalem by the mighty
Sennacherib, king of Assyria. For
weeks and months the encompassine
hosts of the Assyrian army had been
closing in around the city. That was
an army. which had known no defeat
under the masterful leadership of the
great general, Rabshakeb, and his was
no idle boast that the gods of none OF
the nations against which he had gone
with his army had been able to de
liver them from his power. And IL
had seemed when he had bias
~phemously cried out against Jerusa
lem and Israel's God that he would be
able to execute his threats and RAE
the proud city to the ground and utter
ly destroy the inhabitants thereof as
he had done with the other cities he
had conquered.
Then had fallen upon the camp oil
the Assyrians that pestilence which
had left 1885, 900 dead men lying where
the day before they had been strong
men able to do battle, and tile rem.
nant of the army had withdrawn. Je
rusalem was saved for the present.
But for now long?" was the anx.
icus query, heard on every hand
Twill not the Assyrian hosts return
yet again and consume us? How bit.
ter is their heart against the city
which has defied them. Surely, while
Nineveh stands and Assyria rules the
world, Jerusalem is not SAFE"
1t was during this period that the
spirit Of the Lord came nightly upon
Nahum. He knew the power of the
yoke of the Assyrian king. His home
had been in Galilee in his early youth
and there the devastating scourge OF
the c%onquering army had been felt
He had seen the cruelty, he had heard
the blasphemy of Sennacherib's sol
diers, and with home destroyed and
the members of his family slain. he
had fed for his life and found a ref
uge in Judea. There he had come
under the influence Of Isaiah the
prophet, and was one Of the eager
listeners to all his messages. When
it had seemed as though Sennacherib's
army was about to sweep over the city
he had heard and believed Isaiah's
message that the enemy should not
come nigh the walls of the city tc
do them hurt. And he had gone
everywhere through the city repeating

put probably was during latter half of
reign of Hezekiah. AS poet, Nahum oc-
cupies a high place in the first rank of
Hebrew literature. This is evidenced by
the opening verses 1926. and to the mag
nihcent description of the siege and de-
struction of Nineveh in chapter 2. The
subject of the prophecy, as the super
scription in verse l indicates, is: the
burden of Nineveh." The three chapters
into which the book is divided form a
consecutive whole. The first chapter is
Introductory. The last verse Of the first
chapter and the second chapter set forth
the vision of the prophet as to the cam
palgn against Nineveh and it's certain
downfall, for: behold! I am against thee,
saith Jehovah of hosts" The vision end

called from the scenes Of the future to
