CHAPTER VI.
Saul and David are the kings
that are mentioned in the Books
of 'Samuel; the earlj part of the
Book of Kiags takes up the reign
of Solomon. After his reign the
kingdom was divided. Rehoboam
was the king over Judah after the
division and Jereboam was the
king over Israel. The kings of
Israel on through the Books of
Kings are; Nadab succeeds Jere
boam, then Baasha, Elah, Zimri,
Omii, Ahub, Ahaziab, Jehoram,
Jehu, Johoaz, Jehoash, Jeroboam
11, Zachariah, Shallum, Munahem,
Pekahiak, Pekah, Hosheo ; these
were the kings over Israel down to
the tone when they were carried
away captive by the Assyrians
about 734 B. C. We will now
notice who were the kings of Judah
fr ,rn the time of Rehoboam down
to this time. After Aehoboam
Abijam, Asa, Johoshaphat, Jeho
rarn, Ai tziali, than between the
kings there was a period six years,
then Toaah Amaziah, or Uzziah,
Jotharn, Ahaz; then after the
overthrow of the kingdom of Israel
Hezekiah ruled over Judah ; after
him Mauasseh,. Amon, Josiah Je
hoahaz, This brings us
to the time of the Babylo ian cap
- ' > • '
tivity.
During this time the following
prophets lived and prophesied;
Isiah, Hosea, Nahum, and Micah,
Habakuk. Zephaniah and Obadiah.
Israel is often an idolatry, some
of the kings lead the people into
great sin.
The Chronicles are divided into
two books First and Second Chron
icles. The first book opens by
giving the genealogies from Adam
through Abraham, on through the
tribes on through the kings of
Judah for several generations.
These books are a continuation of
the books of Kings and are very
much like the Books of Kings:
while some of the events are simi
lar to those in the Books of Sam
uel. As we have already gone in
to the Books of Kings and these
are so much like them we will not
take these up in detail and it would
be in many respects a repetition.
We come now to the Book of
Ezra, the events of which took
place about 536 B- C. This deals
with the captivity. Someone has
said that the people of the North
ern Kingdom were carried into cap
tivity and never returned while
those of the Southern Kingdom
returned. under the leadership of
Zerubbabel in the first year of Cy
rus king of Persia, <s36 B. C.
Ezra who was Scribe did not re
turn with Zerubbabel at this time
but he himself in about fifty years
led a second colony to Jerusalem.
There is a list of about 1354 per
sons given who went with him on
this occasion.
In the beginning of the Book
Cyrus says that the Lord of heaven
has given him the kingdoms of
the earth and has charged him to
®l it Jtarth ©corgian,
build Him a house in Jerusalem
which is in Judah. Then he be
gins to seek someone to go up there
and do this work for nitn. He al
so brings forth the vessels of the
house of the Lord which Nebuc
hadnezzar had taken away and
give them to the people to carry
back agaiu. The people are num
bered that return.
Zerubbabel leads these people up
there and begins the building of
the temple. Soon the work is
hindered. Some of the enemies of
Israel write a letter to the king
asking that the work be stopped.
Artaxerxes is then the king and
he grants theii request. It was
stopped until the second year ot
the reign of D irius, Underjhis
reign however the ,/ork was agiin
begun, and finished. We now
come to the time when Ezra lead*
another colony up to Jerusalem
You will find an account of this
in the seventh and eight chapters.
Ezra sees the wickedness of the
people and begins to make some
reforms. He reforms the strange
marriages that they had contract
ed.
This brings us to the Book of
Nehemiah.
To be continued.

Malaria.
In the presentation of this article,
and others to follow, I know that there
will be many things that the average
layman will not comprehend, butll
shall endeavor-to make them as easily
understood as possible, and at the same
time give the facts.
Malarial fever is an infectious dis
ease transmitted to man through the
bite of the anopheles mosquito only.
We have in this country two species of
mosquitoes—culex and the anopheles.
The culex are the ordinary house mos
quitoes and is incapable of acting as
hosts to the malarial parasite. The
anopheles is the disease bearing spec
ies. You can distinguish between them
by the following simple points: The
palpi (feelers) in the mature culex are
extremely short, while in the anopheles
they are nearly of equal length with
the proboscis (bill.) The wings of the j
culex sliow only the veins, while they
show distinct mottliugs in the ano
pheles. The culex when sitting upon
the wall or ceiling, holds its posterior
(hindmost) pair of legs turned up a
bove its hack, while its body lies near
ly parallel to the wall or ceiling. The
anopheles when sitting upon the wall
holds its posterior (hindmost) pair of
legs commonly either against the wall
or hanging downward, though in some
instances they may be lifted above the
hack. The body, however, instead of
lying parallel to surface upon which it
is sitting protrudes at an angle of 45
degrees or more.
The culex lays its/>ggsin sinks, tanks,
buckets, and any collection of water
about or in houses, while the anopheles
lays its eggs in small, shadow, puddles
or slowly moving streams, especially
those in which algales (water plants)
exist.
When an anopheles mosquito bites
an individual whose blood contains sex
ripe forms (gametocytes) of the mala
rial parasite, fecundation of the female
elements occurs within the stomach of
the mosquito. The fecundated element
then penetrates the wall of the mos
quito’s stomach and begins a definite
cycle of development in the muscular
coat. Two days after biting there be
gins to appear small, round, granular
bodies in the stomach wall of the mos
quito which centain pigment granules
clearly identical with those previously
contained in the malarial parasite.
They develope until at the end of sev
en days they have reached the diame
ter of 1-400 of an inch. Then the moth
er oocyst burst setting free into the
body cavity of the mosquito an enorm
ous number of delicate spindle-shaped
sporozoids (seed germs.) The accumu
late in the cells of the veneno-salivary
glands of the mosquito, and escaping
into the ducts are inoculated (inserted
into the skin) with subsequent bites of
the mosquito. There they develope
again into fresh young parasites with
the usual result of “chills and fever.”
This is ABSOLUTELY the only way
that people become infected.
PREVENTATIVE.
(1.) Rigid protection of houses, in
which the inmates have been exposed
to malaria, by screens and nettings.
(2.) Buckets, pans, tuus, and every
other thing that contains, especially
rain water, must not be allowed to
stand over 24 hours. Pools, mud holes,
and marshy places should be covered
with kerosine oil to prevent the devel
opment of the larvae (wiggle tails.)
(3.) Mosquitoes rest during the day
in dark places, such as closets, untier
beds, behind bureaus, etc. They 'Jill
be driven out if plenty of light is Ill
lowed in the house. f
Next week l shall give the preventa
tive measures employed in typhoid fend
dysentery.
