NSan Salvador, Costa Rico.-An IS
Land In the Ilopango lagoon, following
an earthquake shock. sank into the
Caribbean sea. 1t is asserted that
nearly all of the inhabitants, about rs
families. persisted.
The sinking of the island followed
a series of earthquake shocks which
we're felt throughout the republic.
About midnight the watchers on the
shores heard the sound OF guns from
the people on the island. Shortly after
that a huge bonfire was lighted on the
island and a boatlnad Of frightened
women and children reached the main
land.
The survivors reported that ether
boats were coming as fast as they
could Je filed. as the island was slow
ly sinking under the feet of the inhab-
itants.
The bodtmen of the mainland were
appealed to TO send aid, but in view
of the continued shocks and the stead
lily increasing violence of the sea, they
were afraid to venture. Indeed, there
was no time. While they debated
another and more violent tremcr shock
the mainland and the FIRE and other
lights on the island vanished.
Not a vestige of the island re-
mains. 1t is estimated that 10 per

THE LEGEND OF THE LARK
Japanese Have Many Stories About
Their Birds, One Of Which 10
the Following.

The Ainu (the aborigines Of Japan)
have many legends about birds. one
of which is very pretty. 1t is thus
given by a recent writer:
The skylark used to live in heaven.
One day the God OF heaven sent him
down TO the earth with a message for
the gods who reside here, telling him
to return the same day. But the little
bird thought the earth such a nice
place that he stayed to play. He was
here so long that II began to grow
dark, and he therefore determined to
spend the night on the ground. The
next day he arose in the air to return
to heaven, but God met him when he
was about six score feet up and said:
Why did you not return as told
you? AS, therefore, you have dis
obeyed my words you shall not re-
turn to heaven but live upon the
earth. Although you may attempt to
fly as high as heaven, yet you shall
never be able to get any higher than
one or two scores of six feet The
little bird was exceedingly concerned
at this. and arguing with God, said:
"Oh, great God as the world you
made is so beautiful could not help
taking a look at it and so got late.
Although you chide me for this, yet /
will fly back to heaven In this way
he answered God. But God did not
consent. Therefore the little bird
grew more and more distressed, and
daily went as high as he could, plead
ing all the time; yet God would never
consent to his entrance into heaven
again. He therefore returned to the
earth to play. After a time he as.
cended and did the same thing. yet
God did not consent. The same thing
continues to happen now every sum
mer. but God never will allow him to
return"
This, as have said, is very pretty
and even spiritual but II seems TO
have been happy incident. for II is
in striking contrast to the Other
legends. which are more OF less stu
pid and pointless.-Forest and Stream.

There never was a time. at least
during the last 200 years. when the
difficulties in the way Of making an
efficient use of books were greater
than they are today. when the obsta-
Giles were more real between readers
and the right books to read. when II
was practically so troublesome to find
out that which is OF vital Importance
to know: and that not by the dearth,
but by the plethora of printed mattsr.

Invlnu Service.

Service and sacrifice are the natu-
raj language of love. Other men may
have ambition for themselves. but
Christian must do as his Master did
serve humanity The life that end
ed on the cross, how little 1t Is under
stoodl How many know that there Is
but one material of which the cross
ran be made? The only material that
can get into that shape is love; love
that manifests itself in service which
will not shrink from sacrifice. The
first recorded word of Christ was:
"Wist We not that I must be about my
Fathers business?" and his last: 1T
Is finished" What lies between these
words? Constant ministry. When
he said: Let him that is ehiefest
among you be servant of all" he out
lined the form that the Christlike must
take.
