It was awarded t at a recent meeting of the sodety'i . council because of her Investigations on tbs electric arc and also as t nature of sand ripples. Mrs. Ayrton enjoys taro other enviable distinctions. She Is the only woman member of the Institute of Electrical Engineers, and four years ago was nominated a Fellow o' Royal society. Tula Is the first time the highest tribunal of English science had nomlnattd a woman. It such an honor that It attracted lm mense attention everywhere, and opla Ion was expressed that the election of a woman was Illegal.

by the natives of the Mlshmi Hills on tbs northern fronUer of Assam, whence the first specimen was obtained by Brian Hodgson 40 years ago from native hunters. It occurs also in the mountainous regions of western China, where a pale-colored variety of the species was discovered by Pere David, and In Thibet. The takln Is not rare In the high mountainous regions where It occurs. Collecting at certain seasons In herds. It Is said to seek protection In the high forests and to feed on grassy downs from which the snow Is melted by the winter sun. It has rarely until to-day been shot by sportsmen on account of the political as well is physics] dlfilculUes presented to exploraUon In the country which It Inhabits. The recent BriUsh expedition In Thibet resulted In some further expeditions across the frontier, and a few specimens of the takln hare thus come to hand. The scientific Interest attaching to the takln depends on the fact that It furnishes one of the numerous links between the sntelopes and the more familiar sheath-horned ruminants which we know as cattle (ox. buffalo, bison), sheep and goat*. The takln has In the adult broad tumid bases to the horns, which nearly meet In the middle line, and a curvature which Is not unlike that presented by the horns of the gnu. There Is, however, one northern cavloorn—the musk ox of the arctic circle—which In the general character of the horns aud limbs, with large lateral hoofs, presents marked resemblance to the takln. It Is probable that the takln Is an offshoot of the antelope stock which ultimately produced the musk ox. jut as the chamois, the serow and the gore! are probably remnants of another antelope line of ancestry which gars rise to the goats and sheep.

But did you ever hear about the temperance lecturer? No! “WeU. you must know that there was s 'temperance lecturer In Maine who came to Ellsworth and lectured. He hit out pretty hard from the shoulder at these so-called moderate drinkers and at the end of his remarks an Ellsworth man took him aslds and said in as aggrieved tone: “ ‘Look here.

PLACE—The upper room In Jerusaler Comment and Suggestive Thought. This lesson, which follows Immediately upon last Sunday's, being another portion of our Lord's last discourse to his disciples. Is one of great and unique Importance. 'The promise of (he Holy Spirit.” says Maurice. “Is the characteristics! one of these paschal conversations; It is that which distinguishes them from our Lord's discourses to the multitude.'■ This to the disciples alone, for the world outside (John 14:17) rould not receive the Comforter, their hearts not being prepared for him It was a promise precisely suited the need of the disciples, tn view of the coming separation from their Lord It taught them that there was to be separation, but that Christ in his Holy Spirit, would still be with them Therefore It Is a promise suited to the need of Christians of all ages, who long for a present guide, comfort- \ and upholder. The Holy Spirit Is Christ's successor among m therefore what can be more Important for Christ's followers than to know him. love him. and obey him? Out lx>rd disclosed him under five aspects: I. The Holy Spirit a witness U Christ (vs. 26, 27.) n. The Holy Spirit a comforter It
trial (vs. 1-7).
IIL The Holy Spirit a Judge of the world (va 8-11). The Holy Spirit s guide to truth (vs. 12-16). The Joy and power of the spirit's reign (va 16-24). Christ foretold what the spirit would do tn the world when he It come. He was to do three htlngs: 1. “Reprove" (R. V., "convlcr) the world of (It. V, -jn respect of') ala. "By the world must be understood tht yet unbelieving part of mankind, so denominated because It was far the larger part, when these words were spoken, as it still la”—American Com mentary. Tbs verb has s double sense, "of s convincing unto salvation, and a convicting unto condemnation."—Alford. Tbe sin of the world Is “because they believe not on" Christ (v. ») It Is a notable proof of Christ's d! Unity that he. the meek and lowly, should select this unbelief In himself as “the only sin worth mentioning Yet, Indeed. It is the root of all other sins whatsoever. It Is the relgnlny as well as the dsmnlng sin of UKworld.''—George Whltefleld. “The ee senoe of sin U living to self. Belle! in Christ Is tha surrender of self."— Alexander Maclaren. D. D. As belle' of Christ Is the beginning of an good for man. disbelief of him Is the begin nlng of all evil. 2. The Holy Spirit would also con Ylct the world Id respect “of righteous cess, because I go to my Father.' Tbe first step In the spirit's work Is conviction of sin; tha second is th exhibition of righteousness. "Tb< life of Christ on earth as the pattern for aU mankind being completed. th< spirit makes known to maw the na tare of that life, and thus shows whs the nature of rlghtoouaneae to."— Cambridge Bible. 2. Tbe Holy Spirit would also con vict the world in respect "of Judgment because the prince of this would I (R. V, “hath been") judged.” ' “Thprince of this world” (sae John 12' 21; 14:20) la Satan, tha rtlar of al such forces of evil aa Jndaa had now become. -Jeans knew that there wai s personal devil. That settiM 1L“— Deems. "However ludrioous mlgai superstitions may have made the notion, there Is nothing ridiculous, no: anything which we have the right csH Incredible. In Christ's eolemij declaration that the kingdom of dark neat has a king"—Alexander Mac
larao. D. D.
The Judgment that the Holy Spirit gives Is not only a condemnation and casting out of Satan, but It to an enlightenment of the righteous, so that they can form a just judgment regard log the works of ths devlL The spirit will guide na “into al) truth." "Dear children.” said old John Tantor (A. D. 1240), "the Holy Ghost will not teach us all thtogn to ths sense that we shall bs given to know ahethar there frill bs S good harvsat “ ' will bo dear
