SCORES SEEKING INFORMATION ON GOLDMINING Colorado Bureau Prepares Bulletin of Instructions For Searchers Butte, Mont., (U.W— Scores of: prospective* gold tnlne.s are seeking I Information regarding panning and ' placer mining, from the State Bur-! eiu of Mines and Geology. 11 of. Oscar A. Pingman, of the l Montana School of Mines, has been answering an average of ten letters a week in regard to information a Isnit tihe operations of pans, rockers sluice hexes and other equipment for separating gold from waste material. Pingman, who led a party down ! the Missouri River last summer to; test the banks and kars far placer gold, has prepared to bulletin for persons who expect to search Montana streams, A 'part of the bulletin deals with the use of gold pan: "The pan, filled with gravel, is placed in water, the gravel thor-i ougthly wetted and stirred by hand.' The .pan still under water, is then ] given a shaking, or circulatory mo- ] tian. which brings the light material to the top and allows the heavy . material to settle. "After many pans have been pan-' ned and considerable black sand li.ts been accumulated, the gold is removed from the sand by tihe addition of a small quantity of mer-' cury. “The mercury is mixed well with the sand and gold. The mercury' combines with the gold, but does not combine with the sand. The sand is carefully washed off and the amalgam is then taken from the pan. “Ahe amalgam is then 'placed in a retort and the mercury is driven off. leaving the free gold. Care should be taken not to inhale the fumes of the murcury. because they are very poisonous.” o Red Pottage An expression that has come down to us through the long ages since Abraham and his tribe wandered the stretches of Palestine is that of one who "barters his birthright so ra mess of red pottage.” It is derived, of course, from the Old Testament account of how Esau, hungered from the chase, made a deal with his brother. Jacob. whereby he received a mess of steaming lentils in return for his rights to the estate of their father) From this tale, two lessons are to be drawn. First of all, it is a lesson of not doing as Jacob did. Taking advantage of his twin, in most unbrotherly fashion, he seized him in a moment of weakness and prevailed upon him to part with something valuable for a thing of little worth. In plain language, Jacob worked a swindle. Nor was it until in after years that the

FAMOUS CHURCHES OF THE WORLD BY E. L. TINZMANN Strasburg Cathedral

Most Famous Clock Is Found Within Clocks and goose livers may | seem more or less incongruous, but it is of these that the university city of Strasburg, in western Germany on the River 111, about a' mile from the Rhine, is best known J to fame. More properly speaking, it should ] he said that it is a clock and goose-, livers which have brought the city fame, for it is there that the cathedral of Strasburg lifts its Gothic, spires above the pleasant lawns I and swelling campus of the uni-1 versity: and it is in this cathedral, that one finds the most famous of all timepieces — the Strasburg clock. It is three hundred years old — more than three hundred, in fact -is this famous timepiece, which embraces a world of calculations in its many dials and faces, and figures innumerable which parade across it from time to time. The dials show the days of the month, i the month of the year, the year i o* the century: and the phases of the planets. In fact, every possible calculation that has to do with time is there. There is an opening near the top across which the twelve apostles parade at regular intervals: ana there is the famous cock, which crows as it did when Peter denied his Lord. The Cathedral, or Munster, rep-! resents the activities of four centuries. Part of the crypt dates from 1015. The apse shows the transition froom Romanesque to Gothic style; and the nave, finished in 1275. is an example of pure Gothic. The original design of the j west facade, with its screen of del-j icate tracery, was finished by Ed-, win von Steinbach in 1300. The! tipper part was completed with aj different plan and the spire of the| north tower added in 1435. The tower is a magnificent and imposing bit of arehitecture. It

j wrong was forgiven. The second lesson is to be jdrawn from the example of Esau. . Here was one, strong physically, ■hut weak in self-control. He came 'from the chase, tired, perhaps, and j hungry. He craved food and drink. | But instead of drawing upon the |resources and tremendous energy 'which he possessed. Esau became a weakling at the smell qf cooking, i I With dribbling month and eager ieyes. he gave away his heritage for: food. | Both Jacob and Esau were in-] 'temperate. Jacob expressed his | intemperance in a greediness to J I acquire property —by means fair or! !foul which was not rightfully his.] !He sought the power which came; j with this inheritance of being the' | head of his house and tribe. To this end, he was willing to take] advantage of his brother, Esau was intemperate. He was] not a glutton, perhaps, but he paid i more attention to his physical wel-: fare and to the inner man than he did to the responsibilities with' which he was confronted. For he] ! was the one who should have as-i jsumed the leadership of the home! —as in the end he did —after the I death of Isaac. A little more consideration —a ! little more self control—and what' might not have been the story of! these brothers of Old Testament | jtimes? WALES TO OPEN NEW THEATRE Stratford-On-tAvon. England (U.R) | — The new Shakespeare Theater. built at a coat of $638,000, and hav-1 I ing an endowment of $550,000, lar--1 gely contributed by American friends in Great Britain and Ameri-; 'can Shakespearean enthusiasts, will be opened here today. The opening ceremony will be, pe. formed by the Prince of Wales It is expected that ambassadors and ministers • from all countries ' I represented in Great Britain will be (present. These diplomatic representatives and press rep esen-! i tatives are expected to fill about half of the theater's 1.000 seats. j The performance will be given by | j the Bridges Adams Company. Local interest, however, at pres- I ! ent centers not so much in what I ,' the distinguised audience will think . of tihe performance, as to what they . J will think of the architectural de- . sign of the’ theater it self. It is a massive red brick building that has ■ been likened in ai .pearance to jam . factory, a furniture ware house, or • an electric.power station. One casual visitor is said to have asked if . i the building was the local madi liouee. , However, the interior is almost , universally receiving the highest k : praise, especially the stage, which i is said to be one of the most perfect in the world. It is arranged for L I extraordinarily rapid change of sce- -, nery. i The theater was designed by Eliz- : abeth Scott, in collaboration with ; her partners. Maurice Chesterton , and J. C. Shepherd. It challenges j | nearly all conventional conceptions » of theater design.

After waiting long years without children, the prayers of Isaac were answered and his wife bore him two sons, Esau and Jacob. One of the twins was named Esau, because of his hair, and the other Jacob, because he held the other’s heel when born. The boys grew to be young men. Esau was a skillful hunter, but Jacob proved the opposite, preferring to remain within the tents.

Because of their attributes. Esau was beloved of Isaac, while Jacob, since he was a quiet man of the tents, was the favorite of his mother, Rebekah. Jacob proved useful in the work of preparing food and in caring for the household goods. One day. while Esau was absent hunting, Jacob prepared a savory meal of pottage made by the boiling of red lentils.

Sunday School ? QUESTIONS ? The Birthright of Esau QUESTIONS 1. —When and where do the incidents of today's lesson occur? 2. —How did Esau and Jacob come by their names? 3. —What were their characteris- [ tics? 4. What was the pottage spoken I of in this lesson? 5. What was mean when Jacob spoke of Esau’s birthright? | 6. Which of the children was favored by Isaac and why? 7. Which by Rebekah and why? ; 8. —What is the purpose of today’s ! lesson? 9. —What was Esau's fault? 10.—How may we profit by it? ANSWERS 1. —Beersheba is the place where Isaac final'y settled down. Esau and Jacob were born in 1844 B. C. 2. —The boys were twins. Esaui was horn first. He was cov- : ered with fine red hair. Esau is derived from a word, “sear,” meaning hair. Jacob, last born, clung to his brother's heal as he came into the world. He was named Jacob, meaning “supplanter.’’ 3. —Esau was a man of the fields and woods, a mighty hunter. Jacob was of a quieter disposition and remained about the tents. I 4. —The pottage spoken of in this lesson was a sort of porridge made from red lentils, a kind of bean. 5. —Tn eastern countries in those days, the property of the father was inherited by the eldest son. Jacob was younger of the twins, so the property, upon the, death of Isaac, was destined for Esau. 6. —Esau was favored by Isaac. He was a man of action and, naturally, his father felt that this son was fitted to assume the responsibilitfes of the household. i 7. —Jacob, because of his quiet manners and homely habits, was a favorite of his mother. It was a natural result of his •being so much about the home. 8. —To teach the wisdom of temperance in all things. 9. —Lack of self-control. He sympathized with himself and, in addition, failed to realize the value of his birthright, since it cost him nothing. We should set store upon all thing? that are given to us. ,10 —Learn self-control. Be noi

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR MAY 8 Genesis 25:27-34

Into the tent came Esau, tired of the chase. As he threw himself down, \e smelled the odor of the steaming dish. His appetite urged him to eat. "Feed me. I pray thee, with some of that red pottage." Esau told his brother. “For I atq faint and tired with the hunt." But Jacob refused to serve his twin with the savory dish. "Sell me first thy birthright," he said.
