Put the earth up there In the place of

1900 times larger than the earth In bulk

that Of the earth about 100 times.
1t would seem as II the ancients must
have had some inkling of the fact that
that planet is the largest OF all the
worlds that revolve around the sun
when they bestowed upon It the name
Of the greatest OF the gods.
We have almost no evidence what

THE LITTLE THINGS THE
MOST VALUABLE.


Comparatiyely few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
mas been struck, at one time or another,
with ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some ofthe little frictions of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make
it's car windows so that they could be slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
backs ." eyclaims the traveller. "If l were
running the road l would make them IN s1ch
q way"
"What was the man that made this sauce
nan thinking ot?!' grumbes the cook. He
never had to work oyer stoye, or he would
have known how it ought to have been hxed,
Hang such collar button y growls the
man who is late for breakfast III were in
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
clip out or break OFT, or gouge out the back
fmy neck"
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances and begin to think OF some
thing else. Ifthey would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their IDEAS
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves as
independently wealthy as the man who IN
vented the iron umbrella ring, or the one
who patented the fifteen puzzle.
