Dread Of Originality.

But It is not simply at the height OF ma
tional existence that this impulse for self
preservation responds to the mimicry Of
lower life. You viii observe its operation
In our social customs and common pro-
pensities; for it is a fact that not anything
Is more dreaded or shunned by average
human beings than originality-that Is,
unlikeness to others. It has always been
dangerous. It Is even yet likely to secure
for its possessor q great deal Of annoyance.

One Of the finest and most powerful
tools that mechanical science has yet
achieved has just been finished at Null
house for the French navy. II is q two
carriage universal lathe, which Is COM
plete machine shop In itself, being capable
Of performing the most varied operations
such. as mortising, shaping, boring and
m6ding- the most perfect accuracy.
It is wonderfully adapted to the delicate
and complicated working Of pieces for
armor plating turrets, OF helix supports,
Of rudders, Of cranked shafts, Of pistons,
&C., for modern war vessels, and 1t handles
and shapes immense masses Of steel almost
as skillfully asthe carpenter caFYes small

which was q mechanical marvel some
twenty-five years ago, gives a striking IL
lustration Of the almost Incredible progress
Of our Observation-Disclosures Traveller.
