the glory of righteousness but should
concentrate their powers on persuading

Satan Is said TO have awarded his

Because we have two eyes the things
we see seem solid and not fiat, with
the result that we can judge their dis
lance from us with fair correctness
says Popular Science Monthly. Look
through a window at house across
the street with one eye closed and
then with the other eye closed. The
bars of the window frame will cut
across the opposite house in different
places. The two fields seen with the
eyes separately, although in the main
alike, differ. When you look at the
house with both eyes open, the two
fields seen by the two eyes are com
bined and the house across the street
assumes depth and relief. Although
we see house with each eye we see
only one house with both eyes. This
makes the stcreoscope possible-an in
strument designed so that the two eyes
are made to converge on single point
and yet see two different pictures. If
these pictures represent Il chair as 1t
would appeal 10 the right and left eyes
respectively. they are perceived as one
solid object.

According to report of the vice
consul at Havana. raw pasture in that
country is selling at $15 TO $50 an
acre. The beef raised upon it is
worth 81 to cents q pound
on the hOof. 1t is plain that the
Cuban cattleman is making no more
money than his nGghbor in the
United States. Yet a good number of
ranchmen from this country are MAX
ing plans for the purchase of land
there. The success of certain Ameri-
can interests in growing cattle in Ven
,ezuela has encouraged others to make
the venture outside the confines of the
United States. All of this is an indi-
cation that in this country the day of
the big ranch is passed. If we are
TO have an adequate meat supply it
must come from the farm of average
size where the raising of live stock
goes hand in hand with the filling of
the soil, says Houston Post. Only in
that way are our farms to be kept fer
tile and our cities fed.
