HOW THE STORMY PETREL FLIES

A naturalist visiting Algeria
bought from a sailor four captive
stormy petrels. They weighed about
LES pounds apiece, their wings were
five inches wide and had a spread Of
four feet. The ability of the petrol
to breast the most furious storms has
been universally admired. It's name
is derived from its power OF walking
on the waves. like the Apostle Peter,
and it's courage and strength in
planting its footsteps on the crest OF
the most tempestuous sea, have given
a text to many writer's. The natural
list, wishing to release his captive Pc
trels. threw one of them into the air

and battered out its brains. He took

pushed it out into space. It tapped
its wings desperately, but neverthe
less plunged downward and broke it,

The naturalist was now convinced
that the stormy petrel's feats at SCI
are made possible because 1t frs
gets up momentum by running aloni
the top of the water. Wishing t,
give the remaining bird chance t.
demonstrate his theory, he took i
out into a desert-like plain, bare o

GIVES THE BIBLE TO THOUSANDS


In New York. where there are ten
times as many Jews as in Palestine,
three times as many Irish as in Du-
blin, more Italians than in Rome and
more Germans than in Hamburg.

American population made up Of
boarders and transients, coming for

Bible Is not the familiar book that 1t
is in other cities where conditions
are less mutable and the people more
firmly anchored.
Yet in the midst of the gilded
gaiety of the metropolitan city, sill
emily, quietly, there goes on a great
distribution of the Book that has
outlasted the centuries and IL the
root of our faith. says Katherine
Glover In the New Idea Woman
Magazine for November. Twenty
Ave thousand dollars a year is spent
in distributing Bibles in New York
City, perhaps not large sum in COM
parison with what Is poured out for
frothy pleasure. but yet a consider
able amount.
1t is enough to take the Bible OF
parts of the Bible to more than
eighty thousand persons in thirty-si1
different languages. There is one so
ciety that has for it's sole object the
scattering Of the Scriptures. Though
this New York Bible Society is loca
in name, its work is national, even ir
ternational. because in putting the
Bible in the hands of the immigrant
that sift through the port of New
York, as it does. it Is sending out ray
of influence to every remote part o
.. this country, and in visiting among
the sailors of all ships that anchor il
the harbor it is radiating good to al
corners Of the globe. In placing Bi
.. bles in the hospitals, the prisons. tn
hotels, the homes of city with sucl
shifting population as New York's
it is accomplishing a hardly more re
stricted work.

"No, Betty" said mamma, you

Betty returned to her sewing, but
somehow it wasn't so interesting as
it had been. She threw it down the
