quently among the interior villages
and spend much of their time making
new plows and repairing old ones
In this way farmers who have any
old iron get it shaped into pillow
points for a small sum.
Referring TO this primitive pillow,
Mr.. Henry b. Miller, United States
consul at Niuchwang, says that he
considers China an excellent field for
American agricultural implements.
Any American pillow, however, which
is introduced, he says, must be
cheap. as cheap as it is possible to
make it and so cheap that it would
not be used in the United States"

that country. The only iron in this

cream standing too long, curd being

II Will Be a Monument to McKin-
ley's Heroism.
Incidentally u VIII Commemorate n
Conee Incident which Has Been
Made the subject OF Many
Comments.

The most striking incident OF the
soldier life of the late President Will
liam Mckinley will be immortalized
10y granite and bronze. On January
80, 1903, at Columbus the Ohio Ante
tam battlefield commission awarded
the contract 10 erect monument on
the spot where Mckinley as mere
soldier boy served his comrades with
hot coffee on the firing line. The entire
contract provides for the erection of
ten monuments in honor of the several
Ohio regiments and batteries which
took part in that bloody battle, but,
without a doubt. the most unique and
the one in which the people of the
United States will be most interested
is the Mckinley monument. 1t will
be remembered that this battle was
fought September II, 1862, on Mary
land soil. and that the 1wenty-tbird
Ohio regiment was an important fac
tor in the fight. Belonging 10 the ia

afterwards became presidents Of the
United States. Hayes and Mckinley,
as well as long line Of other distin-

tlefeld commission. either in Ohio or
the other states of the union, will have
so pretty a sentiment TO enlarge upon
as this heroic act in the life of the be-
loved Mckinley.

Within a short time geological stations
have appeared on the ocean bights and
fresh water seas, true 'observatories of the
water" as somebody calls them in jest;
: only they hunt not for fixed stars and COM
cts, but for sea-stars and other representa-
| tives of the animal circle Of the prickle-
skins, that are without representative on
the land; or they hunt for those splendid
stars of the midnight sea, the medusas and
sea nantes, that produce the magnificent
enchantment Of the glowing of the deep

In the fables and legends of the peoples
there sounds and resounds steadily recur-
ring strain-the motive of the water, from
which all sorts of good things came to man.
In the blue past, when all things still
swan in mist, wise fish folk arose out of
the deep in the orient and taught brave
truths which still remain partly unobeyed
by evil humanity. Kind heroes came to the
cultured nations of Central America over
the sea- Kind heroes sailed over the ocean
to the nations in North America, dragged
them from the morass Of barbarism and
behaved themselves much more respectfully
than was the case later with the real Wis
itors from the east, the Spaniards. Ship
wrecked men found wise nymphs on lonely
islands, who gave them ambrosia TO eat
and solved for them the riddles Of the
future.
For us also there arises many a truth
out of the waters Especially so the more
we advance on the things of the world as
naturalists
The wave, which fawns at our feet on the
strand, and throws shells, snails and sea
stars in our path, ever and again. now here,
now there, drags in a good building stone
that helps to build further on the proud
structure of unfettered world and nature
study. To the toll that gnaws rocks in or
en- itself again to rock. we owe almost our
entire knowledge Of the long-gone life of
the world, because animal and plant re-
mains have been preserved in this mud
that turned to stone
And, conversely. we would hardly under
stand these remnants of a past that lies
probably millions of years behind US IL
the animal and plant world in fresh and
salt waters today did not give US the rich
est of material for direct recognition of
past forms.
Our Ocean Cradle.
In the water there was perhaps, the
cradle Of life There surely 1t first reached
development and attained certain first and
great goals Of evolution. and in 1t today
there grow and flourish a mass Of the
strangest, most instructive animal forms
among them many survivors Of the older
forms that we seek In past epochs, and in
whom we seek the ancestors Of the animals
Of today.
