Cugnot, a French engineer, built the
first automobile. He constructed n
steam automobile hat hauled two and
one-hnlf tons three miles per hour, and
this vehicle is still preserved in form

practical steam automobile was built
by Richard Trevitluck Of England,
using Il crank shaft for the first time

to the road wheels. In 1921 Julius

A "Enidaxv Shin.

A true story Is told Of a skeptical
Massachusetts captain who way back
IN the early years Of the republic de-
termlned to exhibit the fallacy Of the
Friday superstition. He contracted on
a certain Friday for the building Of
a ship, and 1t was arranged that the
keel Of this vessel was laid on Friday,
that she was launched ON a Friday,
named Friday, commenced loading on
a Friday and hauled into the stream
on the same day Of the week. To add
to the possibilities Of disaster, a &
cook named Friday was engaged, and,
thus fully freighted with the sinister
name, the Friday sailed on a Friday,
bound to a port In the West Indies.
From that day to this no tidings Of
the i'll fated craft have been received.

The Sunday School Lesson

Paul protected by the chief captain
(Acts xiii, 14-24). Memorize verses
20 and p. Golden text, They shall not

The knowledge that he had a Roman
citizen to deal with was a real disap-
polntment to the chief captain who
saved Paul from the mob. The cap
tain himself had obtained his citizen
ship at a great expense In gold. and to
learn that Paul was one by birth made
him. He then determined to bring
him before the Jewish chief priests
and council that he might, if possible,
learn the cause of all this uproar
against this Ia xxi, 27-3O).

6, Z; Zeph. /, IS; John iii, 3, 5, y. When
obtained, then whoever touches US
touches Him whose we are, and all the
power Of heaven is ready to deliver us
If necessary.
Paul began his testimony before the
Jewish council by an assertion that he
had always lived In all good conscience
before God. This led to a command
from the high priest to smite him on
the mouth, which brought from Paul
ON true scathing words, God shall
smite thee, thou whited WALL" for
which he apologized when he knew
that he was the high priest. He was
certainly not Gods high priest, except
In name, like the nominal believers at
Sard1s, who had a name to live, but
We're dead (tev. iii, l; lesson verses
1-5).
When Paul perceived that he had be-
fore him in the council both Phari-
sees and Sadducees he began a testi-
mony which soon set them one dgainst
the other to such Il degree that again
the captain had to rescue Paul from
their hands by force, lest he should
have been pulled in pieces by them
Oversees 6-1O). The captain must have
been sorely perpleXed by this strangest
Roman citizen he probably ever had on
his hands, for this was the third riot
from which he had rescued him.
1t may be we'll to note here a simple
distinction in doctrine between Sad
ducees and pharisees, the former be-
lieving in no resurrection nor angel
nor spirit. while the latter are said to
have believed both Verse s., but when
we recall what the Lord Jesus said
Of the Pharisees in Matt. xiii, calling
them hypocrites, serpents, generation

no choice between their beliefs In tho

The Tide Turns.
The entrance of Roumania into the
war points to the turning Of the tide
IN Balkan affairs. The recent rumors
OF bulgar1as disposition to retire from
the war, which have been repeated
with an insistent frequency, lead to
n surmlse that the morale Of the
Bulgarian opposition is weakening and
ITS position in the Balkan theater Is
recedinS toward the back wing. or
course this naturally opens an oppor-
tunity for Roumania. Furthermore
the Russian conquest over the Turk
In Asia Minor is an impulse to lead
lIoumania to take advantage of this
opportunity.
The drama that will be enacted in
the Balkan thoater will be interesting
to witness. What Bulgaria will do
can be surmiseu. What Greece, which
like Roumania, has preserved a neu-
tral1ty by the skin of the teeth. will
do on Roumania's entrance to the war
is no less interesting to witness.

The present war saw an amazing

Russia was rumored to have offered a
part Of fertile B%essurabia to Roumania
for her support.

ruling family and the neutral policy
or the retiring cabinet was declared to
have been dealt a final %deathblow.
