one Of the difficulties OF the Mora
Wan missionaries Ill Labrador is to
make the Old Testament, with its
wealth of pastoral detail, ineligible
to the Eskimos, not one of whom has
ever seen u horse. "Sheep and cattle" 3"
says Hesketh Pritchard in Hunting
Camps III Wood and Wilderness y
they cannot realize OF conceive of,
for there are no domesticated animals
save dogs In that portion of the penin-
sula. They comprehend the story of
Esau, the hunter, and that of Samson
and the lion, which animal can be
translated as polar bear, but of Abra-
ham in the land of Mesopotamia they
can form no picture. The nearest ap-
proach to these ideas is drawn from
the harvest Of the sea, seals and fish
taking the place of flocks and herds"

In Perak, in the Malay peninsula,
lawyers find no business, for Il modi-
fed form of trial by ordeal decides all
disputes. In place of the legal practi-
toner the pleadcr is native boy who
is assigned to one or the other of the
sides and is given a bamboo tube in
which is sealed the pleading of the
person or party whom he represents.
When all is ready two stakes are
driven into the bed of a stream, and
by aid of bamboo pole the heads of
the two boys are submerged at the
same time. BY grasping the stakes
they are enabled to remain under wa
ter for quite awhile after their natural
inclination would bring them to the
surface, but at last one of them gives
in and, releasing his hold of the stake,
comes to the air. He is Immediately
seized. and the tube he holds is cast
aside. The other lad is led ashore, his
tube opened and the document con
tanned therein stands as the decision in
the case.

Oriqin of Coal.

Coal is of vegetable origin. When
vegetable matter accumulates under
water it undcrgoes a slow process of
decomposition, giving off its nitrogen,
hydrogen, oxygen and some carbon,
the result of which if carried far
enough is the formation of a mass of
carbon. Peat, found often in swampy
tracts is the first stage in the coal
forming process, ana the further
stages are formed by the burial of
these vegetable deposits under great
loads Of sediment where they become
subject to pressure and sometimes to
heat This effects n series OF changes.

gives n series of products whose M
ture depends on lie degree to which
the original vegetable matter has been

Mistletoe a Menace.

Few people who know mlstletoe only
as a desirable feature of Christmas
decorations understand that the plant
is a parasite dangerous to the life of
trees in the regions in which it grows.
1t is only a question of time after
mistletoe once begins to grow upon a
tree before the tree itself will be
killed. The parasite saps the life of
the infected branches. Fortunately it
is of slow growth taking years to de-
velop to large proportions, but when
neglected it invariably ruins all trees
1t reaches. The only method of exter-
mination is the cutting down of dis
eased trees Exchange

sion mentioned and to prevent Il re-
petition of such a regrettabIe occur
