Wonderful Ruins Of Aurkor

At Angkor, in CambOdia, IndO-
China, may be seen the most won
derful ruins in the Far East, ruins
on a huge scale, exceeding even
the temple Of BOrObOdoer, in Java.
Aside from the supreme perfection
of the Tai Mahal, there is nowhere
such exquisite architecture, such
evidence Of human capability as at
Angkor. Here creative man seemed
to have reached heights that as
tonish the great architects Of to-
day.

ously often prevents us from see
ing the essential worth of men In
our midst. A prophet is not accept
ed at home.
Jesus adduced two outstanding
examples of the willingness Of for
eigners to believe God.
a. Elijah was sent to a widow
at Serepta (vv. 25, 25). Many Wild
ows of Israel were passed by, doubt
less because they would not have
received the prophet.
b. Naaman, the foreigner, Of the
many lepers, was the one cleansed

4. Violent hatred wv. $500. This
comparison Of the Jews with for
eigners so offended their pride that
they tried to kill him. He showed
them that just as Elijah had
brought blessing to one who lived
In Sidon, and Elisha to one In Syria,
while the people of Israel went on
suffering, even so the Gentiles would
receive the blessing Of his saving
power, while they, the chosen ma
ton, would suffer In unbelief.

Engineer" an Old Word

The term engineer" has been In
the English language since the
early Fourteenth century at least.
1t meant at that time zone who de-
signs and constructs military works
for q type Of defense" A century
later the meaning was extended to
include zone who designs, con-
trives, or invents, as an author or
designer; also, plotter, a layer
of snares." The term is from the
late Latin ingeniatOrem, from the
early Latin ingenium. Spelling and
pronunciation have varied from
the Fourteenth century engynor
through yngynOre, ingenOr, inginer,
engyner, ingener, engenier, to the
spelling engineer, in the Seven
teenth century, the form still pre-
vailing. Pronunciation prior to the
Eighteenth century can be assumed
only from the spelling. In 1790
John Walker indicated a pronunct-
alton identical with that in use to-
day, and this pronunciation Is COM
mon now In England and America.

Musical Instruments Are
Made From Many Materials


Instrument makers" according
to the Technology Review, shave
tried many materials, ranging from
the early use Of sea shells, the
horns and bones Of animals, and
wood, to clay, gold, silver, bronze,
ivory, hard rubber, nickel, the plas-
tics, and the metal alloys.
an the making Of wind-lnstru-
ments the manufacturer seeks
materials which may be readily
shaped to various intricate designs.
Embellishments are far
more complicated than their ap-
pearance indicates. A saxophOne,
one Of the most simple, has no
fewer than 54S separate parts, with
% tone-holes and So key-posts.
'French and Sousa horns are
still more intricate. Some Of them
contain as much as II feet Of tub
ing"
The development of modern wind
instruments owes nearly as much
to scientists as musicians. 1t is
especially indebted to the genius
Of scientifically minded Antoine
Joseph Sax, the son of Charles
Joseph Sax, a Belgian musical-ln-
strument maker.
1.-THE older Sax improved the
clarinet, and the son, working with
him, made so many contributions
that he is known as the father Of
modern wind-instrument structure.
To those who think Of the saxo-
phone as a comparatively new In
strument, it will be surprising to
learn that Antoine Sax designed 1t
In 1S4S. Although he worked chief
ly in brass, Sax also made wood
winds which became famous among
European musicians. o. He died
In Paris in 1894"

United States and Canada, says An
swers Magazine. From the Lake
Of the Woods in Minnesota right
across to the Pacific there is no
natural boundary, so the line across
the open prairie is marked by iron
pillars set up a mile apart, one
British, one American, alternately.
These are 8 feet and 8 inches
square, and each is marked "COn-
ventiOn Of London, October 20,
1878" Farther west stone cairns
are used, and a clearing, a rod
wide, has been made through for
ests. On the mountains are shafts
Of granite. The cost Of the whole
business was only half a million,
so, for its length, this was about
the. cheapest of frontiers. Later,
however, owing to the number of
cattle that strayed across the boun-
Diary line between Montana and
Canada, a wire fence, TOO miles
long, was built at a cost Of about
100000.

meant those who were poor In spirit
(Matt. 5:3).
(2) To heal the broken-hearted.
The gospel of Christ meets the
needs Of those whose hearts are
crushed by the weight Of their own
sins or by burden Of sorrow and
disappointment.
(3) To preach deliverance to the
captives. This meant deliverance

those who were physically blind to

are bruised. The power Of Christ
can free the most utterly hopeless
ones.
6. To preach the acceptable year
Of the Lord. The primary allusion
is to the year Of jubilee (Lev. 25:
S-10) in which all those In bondage
were released.

About the middle Of the Eight
zenith century Reaumur, known also
for his thermometer, wrote about
the life histories Of insects, and 1t
was he who named the Rat-tailed
Maggot. This insect is very inter-
esting, but it usually lives in foul
water such as about privies and
the fluid in decaying carcasses. The
yellow and black adult resemble
honey bees. The long tail Of the
larva lengthens and shortens like
a telescope, so that the tip may
reach the top Of the water, and the
larvae breathes air through 1t, while
feeding on decaying matter, under
the water. Pupation takes place
out Of the water In the larval skin.

Largest income increases were en-
