The Ecuador Blanket Tree.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
Blankets grow on trees in Ecuador. and
while the idea of an atwood, fresh-from.
the-forest bed covering might give in
somnia and a backache to the child OF
civilization who likes to snuggle comforta-
bly, under several layers of down and
wool, the natives find it all right, as in
fact il Is.
When an Ecuador Indian wants a blan-
ket he hunts up a demajagua tree and
cuts from IL five or six foot section of
the peculiarly soft, thick bark. This is
dampened and beaten until the fexibinty
of the sheet is much increased. The
rough, gray exterior is next peeled off,
and the sheet dried in the sun. The re-
suit is a blanket. soft, light and fairly
warm, of an attractive cream color. 1t
may be rolled into a compact bundle
without hurt, and with ordinary usage
will last for several years.

unconscious. They are capable of pene-
trating doors and even thin parti-walls
of brick This piece of pocket siege ar
tillery weighs barely twenty-five pounds,
and can be handled without difficulty by
a single man.
And yet no detailed description of the
weapon is Forthcoming. According TO the
Journal des Debats, it is attached to the
policeman's right side When he has
taken aim from behind the movable shield
all that he has to do to discharge an as
phyxiatng grenade is to press the palm
of his right hand lightly upon percus-
sion spring. Such Il description leaves
considerable scope for imagination. We
are however, assured that the tests OF
the hand cannon proved eminently
satisfactory under cover, and that much
is expected from the forthcoming open
air test.

Washington Temple.

In his sermon before the Washington
Temple Congregation (nonsectarian) in
New Masonic Temple tomorrow after
noon. Evangelist l. F. Hoskins. on THE
Way of the Crocs," !s expected to make
an appeal for more preaching Of Christ
and Him Crucined."
Many. Mr.. Hoskins declares, are
losing sight of necessity Of a Saviour.
and are being allured by theories of
evolution which teach that man was
created in the image of a monkey in
stead OF in the image of God: that man
has been climbing higher and higher.
and may some time evolute into an
angel. IL he keeps on. instead of falling
lower and lower into sin and loss of
vitality. as the Bible and history clearly
show
Mr.. Hoskins claims that the only
hope of the human race for ultimate
deliverance from sickness, pain, sorrow
and death Is in Christ. who took Adam 8
place, paid the penalty Of death. and
who will eventually liberate Adam and
all who viii be Of his posterity from all
the sinful consequences Of sin.
