An English scientist has predicted
that the valley Of the Amazon will be
the center of civilization in coming
centuries. and that England and Scot.
land, most of Canada, and all New En-.
gland, will become hunting grounds
homes for elk and deer. Taking this
as starting-po DR.. Edward Ev-
erett Hale whimsically demands that
the Northern States begin to send their
invalid wards to spend the winters in
the sunny Southern States, instead of
shutting them in close rooms, in gloomy
institutions, and warming them with
the canned sunshine" that is stored in
coal and wood. There are obvious diff
culties IN the way Of this amiable de-
sign; but, aside from the scientists pre-
diction and the clergyman's PROPOSE
ton, curious suggestiveness turks be-
hind Doctor Hales words. Canned
sunshine" which comes In various
forms and takes many names, is truly
Indispensable; yet it is possible that
some Of us use too much Of it. This is
the age of the out-of-doors athletics,
and physical reliance on coal and wood
is the least Of our offendings. In the
region Of the intellect, in the fields of
knowledge. fancy, sentiment, reflec-
ton. are we not somewhat too depend.
ent on the canned sunshine we find
in books? The men who made the
books sought their material at first
hand. Even II other men, recorders of
experience, may have supplied facts
and figures. 1t remained for the masters
to verify them by their own under
standing Of life, and charge them with
the vitality Of their overlooking minds.
One of the differences between genius
and mediocrity is that genius takes
nothing for granted. 1t goes to the top
10 well as to 'the bottom OF things"
and explores all the space between. In
20 far. even we every day folk may
humbly follow it. We shall make
serious mistake II. instead of obsery-
ing nature. we content ourselves with
about her; or II, while weeping
over moving tale, we neglect to re-
ieve the poor family in the next street.
The mission Of the masters is to show
- the way Of approach to nature and
human nature-but their canned sun
'hine" must be used to light and not
Hone to warm. Wise men. and poets
- well, are they who cherish the see
ng eye. the medita&.ve mind and the
IympatAstic heart. Il
