A CITY OF CHANGE.
Ephesus, Once on the seacoast, 10 Now
Located Far Inland.


Sir william Ramsay characterizes
Ephesus as the CITY of Change" And
truly 1t has seen marvellous changes
and its inhabitants many removals In
the days of St Paul and st. John Eph-
esus was city of the seacoast; the
waters of the Aegean Tapped its busy
wharves. Now the traveller to Ephesus
can scarcely imagine that he is near
the sea. To all appearances he is as
far away as on one of our inland prai-
ries. The Cayster during all these ages
has brought down mud and silt from
the mountains until now Ephesus is
miles from the seashOre. Even in st.
Johns time the port was kept open
only by strenuous effort and constant
dredging
These changes wrought by nature
have compelled frequent changes on
the part of the inhabitants. The orig
inal city was built not far from Ayaso-
Iouk and 1.-THE whole Ephesian valley
was an arm of the sea dotted with
rocky islands and bordered by pictur-
esque mountains and wooded promon-
tories" we are told. AS the sea receded
in the course OF the centuries the pop
ulation moved with it until the Roman
city, the city of st. Paul and st. John.
was some miles from the original site.
At last this port became impossible anG
the inhabitants moved farther back,
nearer to the site of the more ancient
city. where today the few inhabitants
that still remain afe found.-Christian

When England Needed Bread.

England was once ON the verge OF a
bread famine. That was in 1900, when
the wars with France combined with
a succession of bad harvests to plunge
the country into a state Of general des.
titution. "A law was enacted" writes
Mr.. f. w. lakewood. prohibiting the
sale of bread till it had been out OF the
oven at least twenty-four hours. Food
was so scarce and dear that portion
Of the population refused to starve I'm
silence, and riotlng broke out In many
parts of England. The acts against
'forestalling and regrating'-that is, an
ticipating the markets so as to raise
the price Of foodstuffs-were rigorous
ly enforced. A royal grant OF $500
was made to one Thomas Toden. to
enable him TO prosecute a discovery
made by him Of paste as a subsd-
tute for wheat fiour."-Dondon Stand

And yet the air clrculates freely all
around and above the glass partitions,
and one would think that the germs
would spread almost as easily as II
these were not there. Yet experience
has proved that this is not so.
Physicians are revising their views
about the spread of contagious dis

An American in London, living in

The Engllshman looked at our Amer

ventured this definite explanation:

The site of Nineveh is almost per-

the palaces of the greatest kings OF
Assyria. The lower or southern mound
is occupied by mosque and village

the mosque is the tomb in which Jonah
is said to have been buried. The age
of the tomb is uncertain, yet probably
it dates from long after the Hebrew

A Handy Measure.

II you have pint jug and wish to
measure off half pint with tolerable
accuracy 1t is useless to try and do so
by guessing when the jug is half full.
A better way is to tilt the jug until the
contents just reach to the upper end Of
the bottom of the vessel and just touch
the lip at the lower end of the mouth.
In this way the space In the pint jug Is
cut into two equal portions,
each half representing the space taken
by half pint.
