FOUND IN RUINS OF LYsTRA
Beautifully seuIptured Stone and Re.
mains Of Early Christian Church
Reward Travellers Visit.

On the great sloping hillside where
the chief buildings OF Lystra stood,
and the level plain at its foot, the only
semblance OF buildings we saw, says
a writer In the Christian Herald, were
some rough stone sheepfolds where
the shepherds shelter their tiniid
locks by night or In stormy weather.
Built into one OF these rude sheep
folds we found beautifully sculp-
tured stone with Inscriptions that
would rejoice the heart OF an archeol-
ogist.
In another part of the plaip we saw
the scanty ruins OF a small Christian
church. Near 1t fountain gushes
forth. This fountain is rcalled3Ayasma
and its very name shows that II was
considered saSred by the Christians
The most interesting site in all
Lystra is that of the temple where
Paul and Barnabas were hailed as
rods. At least there is every proba-
bility that its location has been dis
covered. for on the level plain, just
before the land begins to rise to the
hill on which the chief buildings were
situated, on its southeast side stands
u pedestal on which is an inscription
showing that it was dedicated to the
Emperor Augustus, whose worship
was connected with the chief temple.

Dog Turns crindetone.

Philadelphia has a one-legged knife
grinder who is particularly proud of
his dog, and no wonder. for the intel
ligent animal aids him greatly in his
daily toll. 1t was formerly the mans
custom-his crippled condition pre-
venting him from working the pedal
to pay stray youngsters to turn the
wheel for him.
This, OF course, greatly curtailed
his profits; so he set about training
Newfoundland dog to do the duty.
The canine pupil was apt, and is new
installed rs the grinders regular as
sistant.
The grindstone is very small one,
and, by standing on box, the dog is
able to reach the handle and turn it
fast or slow, as his master desires.

A wcll-known scientist was lecturing
on the ,sun's heat, and in, the, course
of his remarks SAID: 1T is an estab-

but surely losing its heat, and in the
course of some seventy millions of
years 1t will be exhausted; conse-
quently this world OF ours will be
dead, and, like the moon, unable to
support any form of life"
At this juncture member of his
audience rose In an excited manner
and said:

First Aid From KIM Manuel.

King Manuel, in rendering first aid
to one of the audience at a Munich
theater, follows in the footsteps Of his
ancestor, Louis Philippe. The king
OF the French in his early youth
studied medicine and surgery at the
Hotel Dieu. He habitually carried a
lancet in his pocket, and said he had
found 1t useful on many occasions
in the course of his wandering life
Even after he came to the throne
Loris Philippe's surgical knowledge
