Senses of Insects.
I The senses >i insects are discussed
by I r. N I Melndoo, who states that
insects, I ke all other animals, acquire
their information concerning the world
through their senses. To human
beings the world is chietly a world
of visions or sights, all other - uses
being secondary ; to the blood! ound
the world is one of - < ats or smells;
10 such insects as ants and b « - the
; world is not only a world ot smells,
but this sense is so very important to
1 hem that should it suddenly be de-
stroyed, these inset ts could no longer
t \ist.
l>octor Melndoo then describes his
10 1 ..i.hes on all of the s.jis.s of in
sects and their reactions to certain
siiuit.li. In condition, the author
says . 1,,-t us rcase looking with scorn

book contained (Jod's woes upon the
stiff nccked and rebellious people (v.

ings efl'etMively to others we must in-
j wartlly digest and appropriate them
ourselves. The eating of the hook was

new destination.
Entering Into Sympathy (\ b").
In order to minister to a people one
must enter into sympathy with them;
must show that the message is from
the depth of the heart; that to declare
the lues age of woe is a gloat grief.

minister is a watchman over his flock.

Mouth The source of his message
was (bid's Word. So today the minis-
ter is to get lils message from (iod.
- Sound the Warning (v. 17) After
he heard (iod's message he was to
speak it out. The same duty is 11 >11
the minister today. Cases in po.nt for
his guidance (vv is JI) :
(1) When (iod says |o the w eked
"Thou shalt surely die" (v is), and
the watchman fails wain him, the
wicked man shall die in his iniquity,
but hiv blond shall be required at the
watchman's hand.
(-) Ii the watchman warn the wick-
ed and the warning is unheeded (v.
I'd), the wicked man shall perish, but
the watchman has delivered his soul.
(.'!) When 1 righteous man turns to
do iniquity and (iod gives him over to
stumbling in 1 s own sin. his past
seeming righteousness will be of no
avail, but his blood will he required at
the 1 ami of the watchman if he fail to
warn him (v l'O).
(1). If the watchman so warns the
rig 11coils mail that he fall Hot into sill,
the man shall be saved and the watch-
man hath delivered his soul.
Ministers have most solemn obliga-
tions that of discharging their obliga-
tion whether men will hear or lore-
fear.

Chile, whose diplomats are In ron
ference In Washington with those of
I'eru In an effort to solve the Taena-
Arica problem, might be called "the
South American California." It is
long and narrow, and its region of
greatest development and populat'on
is a great, rich valley with low moun-
tains separating It from the coast, and
with a steep, snow-capped range tow
' ering above it tw the « ast.
Chile is the longest ami narrowest
, of all the countries of the world. It
stretches 11,700"miles, from Cape Horn
to the deserts of Tarapaca and Tacna,
within the tropics. Its width is rare-
ly more than 1-.1 miles from the ocean
to the Andean crest. If we were to
place it upon a similar stretch of coast
\n North America, it would cover Lovy-
j er California, California, Oregon,
Washington, and British Columbia to
:he St. Elias district of Alaska.
('Idle is divided into three sections
by the natural features of the Pacific
slope of the Amies. The northern is
that of the semi-arid and desert re-
gion, which reaches from Peru south-
ward to Valparaiso. It Is an utter des-
ert in tiie north ami becomes less in-
hospitable toward the south. It Is
traversed from the Andes to tic coast
by sh rt, deep valleys, separated by
high spurs of the mountains, and com-
munication from north to south has
always been exceedingly difficult. Xev-

It is the extreme northern portion
of Chile as shown by the maps that

day. All of this r ion, which now
forms the northernmost oOO miles of
Chile, was considered of little worth,
and much of it had not been explored.
When extensive nitrate deposits
were discovered in the Bolivian por-
tion of tiie coastal strip in the sixties,
there was a rush like that to Califor-
nia's gold fields In IMO. A large pro-
portion of the newcomers were Chil-
eans. Friction arose bet ecu Chilean
mining companies and Bolivian tax
collectors, and finally in 1S7J) war
broke out between Chile and Bolivia.
Peru was drawn in as an ally of Bo-
livia. and the three-cornered war ran
tin for several years. At Its con-
clusion Chile was completely victor-
ious and extended her boundaries at
the expense of the two vanquished
countries. Bolivia became "the Swit-
zerland of America" in a double sense;

The central section of Chile extends
through nine degrees of latitude for a
distance of about ( oo miles from Val-
paraiso to 'he island of Chiloe, south
of Puerto Montt. This is the heart
of Chile, the only portion of the coun-
try which \in support a sufficient pop-
ulation to constitute a nation. The
area Is not large, about 100,000 square
miles, and much of It is occupied by
mountain ranges of great height and

Since the war of the Pacific, as lr
was called, Peru has had toward Chile
the relations which Italy held .toward
Austria In the late Nineteenth and

Arica have constituted its "Peru Irre-

dreamed of restoring the lost prov-
inces.

greatly by the war of the Pacific. Out
