The pricks and daggerlike thrusts of
regret and sorrow which assail the
mind seem almost destructive. but in
the bright gleam of life which rises
from the darkness of despair there
is a suggestion that the wrong which
has been the source of the trouble
has been made right. The painting
seems to depict the kind of remorse
which led the Prodigal Son back to
his father instead of dragging him
down for ever to the life of the swine
herd. Victor kubinyi's poetical analy-
sis confirms such suggestion:

Next Eclipse.

THE next total solar eclipse will be
in Sumatra next January, and
already astronomers from Swarth

Naval Observatory and the Mount
Wilson Observatory have sailed TO OBJ

elapsed people in the Northeastern
part of the United States will again
have an opportunity of witnessing
this rare phenomenon. On August 8.

pass through parts of Vermont, New

Will start near the North Pole, and

portraiture does show a building up

of ambition proceeds or has proceeded
in orderly progress. as in the tree,

step in logical growth, the ann is
achieved or shows probable attain

is built of large stones and small ones

Value of Insulin.

THAT the continued use of insulin
may really cure and not just al.
lay diabetes by giving the overstrained
glands long rest is the opinion of
DIR. +. c. Banting, who first extracted
insulin from the pancreatic glands OF
animals and made it available for use
by diabetic patients.
Regardless Of the severity of the
disease" said DIR. Banting, "all pa.
tients may now be maintained sugar
free. Since this is possible, it Is TO be
strongly advocated, for we have abun-
dant evidence that there Is a regenera-
ton Of the islet cells OF the pancreatic
glands when the strain thrown upon
them by high blood sugar Is relieved.
In some moderately severe cases the
carbohydrate tolerance has increa sed
