It seemed that Char¬ ley's pony bad kicked up against snttain white an' Charley got off to sre what It wuz an' found what looked like a man's shoulder blade stickin' out of tbe ground.

HOW   CIRCULARSAWS   ARE    MADE.
An KUborMe  ferXef Ot (HlMrmtlnii*,   Bnt All tftaded.
Circular saws are now made of cast steel apecially manufactured for tbe puriraae. The various processes to which Ihe nialerial Is subjected are thus described In The Hub:
"An Ingot heated to the requisite temperature is reduced to tbe proper thickness in powerful rolls- The plate is tben ci-nlred and a circle scrilied npon II. after which it Is passed to Ihe shearer, who reduces It to a circn- Inr form. The centre hole Is then iHired. It Is then hnndiHl to the tooth¬ er, who punches out Ihe teeth nround Ihe edge, nfter which it Is rough flled or ground uu an emery wheel to tnke off the "burr" left by punching. The rough saw Is now ngnln hented in a large furnace until ll is of a lirlght red color. It la then plunged into .i hnth ] of s|>erm oli; which makes II hard nod \ brillle. The oil is then pnrtly denned j off. and the rest hurniM off in a fur¬ nace to give the required temper. When cold the snw Is hammered on a steel fneed Tnvll nntil it is straight. It is next ground lietween vertical grindKtones revolvlni; lu opposite di¬ rections, nnd Ihen polished with em¬ ery on a lnri;> disk. t>nce more tin- hammer men lake it. and atrike it with smoothed fami hammers on an anvil as before, nntil it Is absolutely straight and true, and has acquired Ihe proper tension, which allows for rxpanshin wbile the saw is revolving al work. The teeth are now act, al¬ iernately right and left. t» allow for •'iearan.va when sawing tinilM-r. They an' Ihen sharpened by being fllinl on Ibe from nnd lop of the teeth, whieh oiM'rallnn ounpletes the manufacture.

MALARIA AND MOSQUITO
MODERN SCIENCE HOLDS THE INSECT PEST   LARGELY   RESPONSIBLE,
The AmMZIng Slory of Ihe Relation Be¬ tween MsUrl* anil^CertsIn Mosqollot Is Now Told For the rlr.t Time hy Kntoinologlit L. O. Howard.
I.. (X. Howard, chief entnuioloKlst of the Inlted Stntea Iiepartment of .\grk»ltui'<«. tells In tlie Century the niiinzlng uti.ry of the reliilinn between "Mnlarla nud Ceriuiu  Mcisi|ulloe."
A.s plaiu ns bis story Is. the IiliinK of nil the KHpi nud tho rounding oiit of nil the details have tnlicn yenrs of patieut work. Befure Lavcran'.s orig¬ inal dlseovery of tho parasite becnmo generally known, an American physi¬ cian. IJr. A. F". A. King, of Wash- Inpton. propounded the idea that ma- hirin Is transmitted by monquitos. His paper, read liefore the rhiiqsophlcal Society of Washington, was n'Eas¬ terly one. and suiliuinrlzed in an fld- mlrable wny the arguments favoring such a theory; and the long-delnyed proof now cornea an a triumphant vin¬ dicntiou of the views of this eminent American phyaiclnn. views which were at flrst received with genernrin- crodulity. Eveu of Into the "mosquito theory." ns it hns been called, has met with strong opposition ou the pnrt of conservative physicians and lay¬ men. The polut Is often made hy such persons that malaria exists In localities where there are no mosqui- tos, thnt persons get malnrla without having been bitten by mosquitos. and, stupidly enough, that mosquitos exist lu numbers -n'here there Is no mnlarla. All opposition, however, bns beeu forcibly met, nnd the consensus of expert opinion is now united iu Ihe conclusion not only that the agency of mosquitos of the genus Anopheles is the only demonstrnted method of the transmission of mnlarla. hut that 11 Is perhaps, even probalil.v. and sonic say certainly. Iho only inetliod by wlilch the disease euters ihe human bod.v.
In the United States many physi¬ cians in malnriuus neighborhoods hnve taken up the queatiou with eulliusl- Hsni. and jiersous living in mosquito- ridden localities are organizing and beginning cxtoruiiuative work. At tbe present time there Is probably more inlelllgeut work bolng dono or being planned n(;nliiHt niosiiiiltos iu the I'nited Stales than olsowliere in the world. The groat brackish marshes of the Atlantic coast nud the mauy Inland swamps and pools hnve made many portions of tho I'nited States great breeding plnces for mosquitos. The vnst majority of our mosquitos. however, are noxious only from their bite. Most of them lielting to the genus Cuiex. aud in the stoniucli of the mosquitos of this genua the mal¬ arial parasite dies aud is digested. These mosquitos brood everywhere In Ktniidiiig water. Thoy aro fouud not only in the brackish marshes. In the great swamps, and iu ail ponds in which llsh are not niiiuerous. hut they breed nlso lu borsotrouglis. In rain-water hnrrols, iu water running slowly through open sewers, nnd ev(.n penetrate through tlio perfdiiitcd sew¬ er-traps In ini'po rlllos. and breed lu the sewers lieluw ground. A transient pool of surface water left hy heavy rains will breed a generation of mos¬ quitos in a little more than a weok. They will breed in the water collected In the hollows of old Htiiuips, iu old botlles or tin caus thrown on the dumps or lu vacant ints; in faot. wher¬ ever still water stnnds for n week or len days in the sununor time tiie fe¬ males of sonio spoclos of mosquito wlil lay tholr eggs upon it. nud a gon- onilion will Im. pniduieil. This Avaior need not ho porfeilly nucovorod, wuce a female iniisqulti). In her desire to find a plaoe to lay hor cgi;8, will en tor through u very mnail orifice. Water tanks, thereforo. not perfectly covered, afford such situations. Old wells or cesspouls, with lioard covers In which thore arc cracks wide enougli for n mosqiilto to outer, are often most   proline  liroodiiigplncos.
The general queatiou of mosquito control bas bin-n carefully studied. Tbe writer conducted a Inrge series of experiments a uumher of years ago. Iiefore the mogquito-malaria relation was cstalillshcd, with a view to giv¬ ing the Inhabitauts of mosiiulto locali¬ ties some relief from tbe attacks of Ihese pernicious creorures. The three main remedies are: the drainage of swampa and standing poids where this ts possible; tbe Introduction of lish. nnd particularly of lortain vora¬ cious species, such as the stickloba'kN and the top-uiinuuws. inlo Ashless pools the water of wliU-h Is used for watering live siock; and. ihird. Ihe trenluient of poola or ponds, or other boiUes of water which cuuuot ho drained, with korosi'uo. All Ihese measures aro etHoacious.

13. "Two of them " In vers* S3 It Ik implied thst thry were not aportic*. Oaa was Cleopaa, nl whom we know nothiaa; tha othrr u unknown. "Kramaus." TSa ward Dirani "hot apring*," and waa proo- ablv ¦ plaer whm there were hot springa. "Tnreescorv I'arloiigs." .\bout acren and O'.iehair milra. The site of the city ia somewhat uncertain.
14. "Thry talked togrther." Their con¬ versation naturally turned on tha all-ab¬ sorbing question of the hour—tba cnici- hxion of Jeans and the report* which thejr had heard of His r»<arrection.
15. "Coniniuiied together." Probably consuitrd togethrr what lo expect, or to do. in *iich perplexing circumstaacea. They txrhangra views and (eriings. and wcighea the fact* before thrm rnnrerning tk* prob¬ ability ol Christ bring thr MiMiih. "Drew near." Coming up behind then aa from Jerusalem.
16. "Ej-r« were holden." rurposrly aa- •uiniag * different form than naval, aad •upematurally inUuencing tbeir ^dght that they  might  not  know liim.    8«e  Uark
16: 12
"Said unto thrm."   A* a good taaeh- il, He begina by gat-
rder to be henrd, „        . ,
ting thrm to •peak lirit. "What—eoama- nieations" What is the nature of yoar talk whieh so absorbs yoo? By thi* qiMO- tion Jrsus introilucca Himaelf into tha conversation. "Ai ye walk and ar* sad." Thus .Irius leads them to open their hrarti to Htm. Hr n-ould have them re¬ late tn Hira what He already know*.
IK. "A ¦tranger." If He knew not th* rvrnts that had been to public, ao awfal, ' and so uniyeraaliy known. He muat he a mrrr »o)»>(riTirr; if He did, how eould K* supimse thry wouid be talking about any- thina rise!' Cicopss appear* aatonished at His qurstion.
IA. "What things?"! He evadee an an¬ awer by another quration. Hc want* to hear from tbeir own lip* their exact fae!- mgs "Concerning Jesus of Naxareth." Aa He was rnmmonly called. They aro full of things concerning Him, and givea summary of Christ'* hfe. Now th* atrtaiU of thrir lamentations are over their disap¬ pointed rxpectations break loose. "A i)ro|)hrt " He preached a true and excel¬ lent doctrine, which bad it* rise from, snd ita tendency toward, heaven. Ho con¬ firmed it by many gioriou* miracle* of mercy. "Mighty." However the death o4 ,'esiia may have made them waver in their faith ahout llii being Ihe Mesaiah, they hllll nn doubt that He n-as a prophet, for t!iey kncK' what He had done, and they h.1,1 heard His teachinn, "Deed and won!" There is but little u*c of our un¬ dertaking tn apeak for (!hri>t unloa* godly aelions precede our words.
;!0. "C'nieified Him" Our mien trtated llini a* a malefactor and not a* a prophet. Bid hnve crucified Him. 't'hry speak care¬ fully with rtgard lo their ruler*, beeaua* tliry arc speaking to a aiippoaed atranger. '.'1. "But we hoiicd " (K. V.) Her* i* nil intimation of tlu'ir disappointraent aa n reoson of their aadnesa. V. 17. "Ba- Hcemrd Israel." They had coulidentty be¬ lieved Hitn lo be Ihe promised Mrisiah, whn had so long been predicted aud waa tlicu eipccted. "The third day " Kefer- ring cither to the length of time as tend¬ ing lo extinguish hope, or lo the promise , of Jeaus that He would rise on the third day, nnd henee the repurt* may be trua and there is hope.
2224. "Amsied us" (R. V.) The orig¬ inal verb means "to drive out of hi* senses." In these ver*«« we havo a brief review of our last twn lessons. Cleopa* alao speaks of h's doubts, since only the wnmeu had s*en Him.
2.1. "Said unto them." They had spo- krp, now Hr would speak. They bad poured out their grief aud opened their nrnrts, now vni His li-nr to fill thera with new Ihings, and first by way of re¬ buke. "0 fool*.' The word is equivalent to dull of perception, and refers to their iindcritandmg. "Slow of heart." If tbey had embraced the living tiod with mora fervent faith, thr fart of the resurrection would not hav,! lieen so atrangc to their hopes. "To believe all." The •mphasia should be placed on "all." They believed many things that the prophet* had (iio- ken, but somr thinga which eeemed un¬ pleasant to them they failed to notice.
i'l. "Ought not." ete. Were not theaa thing* a neceuary mark'of the Meaaiah, without whieh the wirid could not hava been saved and the Mesaiah'* kingdom c«- tahlished?
27.   "Beginning at Mo*e*."     ,
lie to Eve lOen. 3: 19); to Abraham ' 22:18); the patrhsl lamb (Ex. 12)i scapegoat (Lev. 16: I-M); the braatB ser¬ pent (Num. 21:9); the greater propbtt (Deut 18: U); the star and acepter (Nam. 24: 17): the •initten rock. Nun>. 30: II: 1 Cor. 16; i. "tThe oropheU." Isa. 7: li; 9: 6. 7; 40: IO,.:]]; &. i; S3: 4, S: Jar. 23i 6: .13: 14. IA/ Euk- 34: 23; Mie. B: 2; Zeeh. B: 12; ft: (I; 12: 10; li: 7; Mal. S; 1; 4: 2. "E«pounded." No wonder tkair hearts bumeii wit||in them while heariaf sueh a sermnn from such a preacher. Wo may naturally aiippoM that oar Ixird ex¬ plained and applied to Himself thaae pro¬ phecies.
28- "Made a* though." He woold haT* rrally gone 011 but tor that aort of eon- otraint whieh thev exeroiaed ovar Him.
29. "Abide with us," etc. But for Ulii the whole design of the interviaw had been loat; but it wo* not to ba loat, ler He. who only wished tn be eonstraintd, had kindled a longing in th* iiaarln M "'- traveUng companion* which waa' not

81. "Opened." Wh*te%'er bad Uthfrio held their eye* wo* t«ken away, "Van- i*bcd." Liko one of *uperaatural power, not like an ordinarv guest.
32 "Bum within ua." Thi* aocoaataid for tbe glow of h^ht, love and glory that ravished their heart*.
33 "Roae—and retumrd." Aftor Jaant left them they immcdia:ely hastened back to Jerusalem to reporl tho woudcrful in¬ terview to the other diaciplea.
.T4. "lUth appeared to .Simnn." 'The** two diaciplea found ine apoatle* and thaaa who were with lhem Uatifying that Chriat had riaen from the dead." It waa not th* two diaciniea. hnt the apoatle* who **id the T»rd nalh apiieared to Kimon.
