HIS TIME WAS WASTED.
Lan of Science Enlarges Upon Genius
to Poet Who Is Exasperat-
ingly Dense.

| "It is among our scientists. not
among our poets or cur painters. that

scientific man, according to an ex-

day turn to science, rather than to the

what do you mean?" said poet.
'Tll illustrate what I mean with the
case of Haeckel. I'll take one little por-
ton Of Haeckel's work.
.'Haeckel, though q German, wrote in
English monograph on the radio
larians-a monograph in three volumes,
weighing 80 pounds, that occupied the
man II lorg years.
THE radiolarians are microscopic sea
animals. Haeckel had, discovered,
classified and named ESQ of them when
Prof. Murray, of the famous Challenger
expedition, came to him with a little
bottle in his hand. This bottle con-
tanned water, and in the bottom of it
there was deposit that looked like
mud
It is mud, isn't it?' said Haeckel.
Ono, SIR Murray answered. 1T is

'Hoeckel spent IL years examining
under the microscope the deposit in that
little bottle. He found no less than 1000
absolutely row specimens of these radio
larians, and each one of these radio
larians had to be drawn, described and
named
Think of the mammoth labor! Think
OF finding a new and appropriate Latin
name for 1900 creatures, each so small
that, even under the microscope, they
looked alike to all save the expert.
Think of the monstrous tedium of
sketching and describing each of those
tiny creatures-of writing, in foreign
tongue, three ten-pound volumes on
them! Could anyone but q genius have
finished such a work?"
Perhaps not" said the poet. but |
what was the use of the work after it |
was fnished?"
The scientist Redeemed with rage.
''The use?" he shouted. THE use?

DELiCATESSEN,

She was not highly cultured,
For grammar had no use:
She never heard of Browning.
Nor studied themes abstruse.
She had no ear for Music,
Could not a rhyme repeat,
But knew the art Of cooking
Good thingss for US to eat.
She could make an apple custard
With knack of sure success;
With pies Of mince and pumpkin
The family would bless.
Her angel-food was mama
To feed the hungry heart:
Her golden-crusted doughnuts
Paid tribute to her art
The black bat indigestion
Meier settled on her roof, -,
And the medicine dispenser
Her presence kept aloof.
She's still on earth and hearty.
But oh, the aching void!
For in a school Of cooking
Our former cooks employed.

everyone will admit. is the cause of one
half the diseases which aflict mankind.
