his feathers gone he becomes the

vain and conceited Jas sometimes to
be really troublesome Not satisfied
with slualling at the top of his discord.

were incautiOus enough to venture
within his reach. Plucking his tail

From Her Man Has Got Most Of His
Hints for Improved Machinery.
Most OF the skillful devices invented
by men for doing fine work rapidly
can be traced to nature. where for
countless ages they have been oper-
ating. The discoverer Of each new
appliance OF mechanism might be
shown that his idea was as old as the
hills. 1t is suggested that the in
ven Ors of the future will be those
who carefully study the natural world.
The stones OF the mills are another
style of the molar teeth. which grind

The hoofs Of horses are made OF
parallel plates like carriage springs.

The Jaws of the tortoise and turtle are

chisels in his mouth and the hippo
potamus is provided with AIDES which
are constantly sharpened as they are

The diving bell initiates the water
spider which constructs q small cell

The iron mast OF a modern ship is

the skeleton of a herring. Aeronauts
try to copy the structure and move
