Mr.. Beddard in his book on whales
reminds readers that although imagi.
nation IL apt 10 picture the giant rep.
tiles of the Jurassic and cretaceous
periods as having exceeded I'm size all
modern animals yet In fact there is no
evidence that the earth has ever con-
tained either on the land or In the sea
creatures exceeding the whale In bulk.
The mammoth was larger than the ele-
phant. but the ichthyosaurus could not
match the whale for size. although
with its terrible jaws II would doubt
less have been the whales master.

Failure.

~failure," says Keats. "is. I'm sense.
the highway To success. inasmuch as
every discovery of what Is false leads
us to sock earnestly after what is true,
and every fresh experience points out
some form Of error which we shall
afterward carefully avoid"
Defeats aud failures have played n
great part In the history OF success.
Ii is not pleasant 60 think that more
or less Of defeat is absolutely neces-
sary 10 great success. But that n Is
true every student OF history knows.
Defeats and failures are great dcvcl-
opers Of character. They are the gym
nasia which have strengthened the
muscles of manhood, the stamina, the
backbone which have won victories.
They have made the giants OF the race
10y giving titanic muscles. brawny
sinews, far reaching intcllects.
How true IL Is that poverty often
hides her charms under ugly masks!
Thousands have been forced into great.
ness 10y their very struggle TO keep
the wolf from the door. She Is often
the only agent nature can employ tC
call n man out Of himself and push
him on toward the goal which she had
fitted him TO reach. Nature cares little
for his ease and pleasure. IL Is the
man she Is after. and she will pay any
price or resort 20 any eXpedient tc

In mans wants and urges him onward

What Modern Eloeution Means.

To most people-to a large number
who ought to know better-elocution
means simply "recitirg pieces" For
this many OF the entertainers, amateur
and professional, who regale society with
their efforts are to blame. Eiocution has
been SIS long held TO be synonymous with
fallen into dIsrepute, and at the last Ma.
tional Convention OF Elocutionists II was
proposed to drop this designation and
substitute the word "expressionis's." }"
This resolution failed to pass, fortunately,
1t should be said.-From "The National
Magazine" for November.

Lao Industry In Assam IL = Curious
Business.
A report Of the assistant director OF.
agriculture In Assam deals In detail
with the lac industry there. Lac oc-
ours In Its natural state in the various
parts of the forests of Assam. as well
as Of Burma, but chiefly In parts Of
the Khasi and Caro- hills, and the sx-
port In recent years has averaged 49,
600 maunds, or something over 800
tons. but in some Of the forests. ow-
ing to the rnvages Of the Kolaazar
epidemic and depopulation, the pro-
duetion is declining. The production
in Manipur ID not sufficient for the
local needs. and quantities Of the lac
are sent there from the Kubo valley
of Assam. The lac is all sent away
from Assam In the crude form, or
stick lac; shell and button lac are
made, to some extent. but lac dye is
not now prepared anywehere in As
sam, and lacquer wares are only pro-
duced in two places. SO that this once
considerable industry would seem to
be dying out. The black laQuer OF
Manipur is really not lac prepara-
tion at all. but only the Juice OF a
tree sent from the Kubo valley. In
Assam the lac is usually collected
twice a year, first in May and June,
and then In October and November.
The first Is mainly used for seed pur-
poses. while the second forms the ex-
port. A few days after the collec ON
pieces of stick lac containing live in
sects are tied on to the branches of
the trees on which the next crop is
. to be grown. The usual plan Is to
place the lac In small bamboo baskets
and tie these on the twigs Of the
trees The insects soon crawl out, and
spread over the young branches, on
which they promptly begin to feed,
and secrete the resin. This is allowed
to go on for about six months, when
the lac is collected; but II the secre-
ton has been defective or insufficient
the insects remain undisturbed for an
other six months.-London Times.
