PUBLISHED IN THE INTEREST OF RELIGION, EDUCA TION, LITERA 7 URE AND GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. VOL. XIX. A Short Cut Through the Bible. o CLEM T. IVEY. 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.

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.
