The Cave DweIIor as an Artist.

We must remember that there are no
such things as lines in nature. Whether
we use them to represent a human pro-
file, the depth Of shadow, the dark
ness of cloak or a thundercloud, they
are mere conventional symbols They
were invented long time ago by dis
tiHguished sportsman who was also a
heaven born amateur artist-the John
Leech of his day-who engraved for US
from life the picture Of mammoth
on one Of its own tusks. And we have
accepted them ever since as the cheapest
and simplest way Of interpreting in
black and white for the wood ongrayer.

liquid foods. II the consumer weighs,
say, $50 pounds, he will eat and drink
during his lifetime l,2SO times his own
weight. Transforming all this foodstuif
into mechanical labor, the strength de-
rived would be sufficient TO lift 81, eco, =
coo tons one foot from the ground or to
Iaiso the Forth bridge at Edinburgh,
which weighs 264, 600, eco pounds, TO a
height Of 1885 feet.
Excluding the first 30 years Of life

sumed by a regular smoker who smokes
dozen every day would in 90 years
reach the number CT 2i9, GOO. or mon

Stunning six Of his fayorite brand day
would during his lifetime smoke a gi-
gaptic cigar Of more than 10 feet long
and almost 21s feet thick. Ii would
weigh 4,4I0 pounds aud would take
the suction power Of steam engine tc

As the smoking habit is not necessary
to existence it is easily seen how much
money a smoker wastes ia the course Of

Some people deceive themselves with
the notion that if they have been denied
some advantage which another has had
the only dignified course for them il
life is to ridicule that advantage.
