Not only does she stand acquit-

SPORT ONLY FOR STRENUOUS
Narpooning Devilfish Differs Some
what From Pastime So Much Be-
loved by Ordinary Fishermen.

The extraordinary shape. huge size,
and vast power of the big devilfish, or
manta, give him an evil reputation,
which is heightened by his black color
ing. A queer popularity of this col
oring is that the black pigment comes
off on anything touching it. Kneeling
on one of the devilfish when it was
drawn up on the sand l arose with my
knee completely blackened. The skin
is not only very tough, but is also very
rough, being covered, like that of an
,old shark. with dermal denticles which
scarify the skin if a naked arm or leg
is drawn across it. The big mouth is
practically toothless, entirely so as re-
CARDS the upper jaw, while the lower
ijaw has a small dental plate which
differs in the two sexes. In spite OF
its size the manta is in no way dan
gerouS TO man unless attacked; but
when harpooned its furious energy.
Itenacity of life and enormous strength
render it formidable; for it can easily
smash or overturn boat which is
iclumSily handled, and if the ropes foul

eternal. How many of us are medi- tating today?
 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures The hand of God provides us the green pastures and he makes us lie down. There are cer-- tain times God has provided for rest. One of those periods is night. How many of the young people stay out until F or 1 o'clock at night? How many business men have worked on their books until 1 o'clock in the morning? He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He wants me to rest that l may have possession of myself. The world is rushing on away from God. Another period of rest is the Lords day. You can rest much better by being in the house of God than you can at home in your old clothes. The Lord wants us to take a little time-not wear ourselves out with the toll of the day. We are eternal-we are not something that blows away with the grass of the field.
 ' He guideth me- He leadeth me through the valley of the shadow of death. Let us not seek men of this earth: let us not seek women of this world who have given stuff to this world-lest we die in the midst of this valley of the shadow of death. It is the Lord who leads through this valley. Put your trust in the Lord: he is the only one that can lead. s-"On boys way home he had to go through a very dark valley.
