calabashes, which are largely employed for such
purposes in the South. But perhaps the most re-
markable pottery of natural origin is by-product,
so to speak, of cactus-plant. In the region south
of the ella River and west of the Sierra Madre
Mountains fourishes the most gigantic of all cacti-
the Cerens pimglei which attains height of fifty
branches, and to protect itself the plant emits
sticky juice which soon hardens, forming woody
lining to each hole made by bird Eventually the
cactus dies, and being composed mainly of water,
shrnks to a skeleton; but the bowls remain
intact, and are used by the Indians for dishes.
When Nature chooses to manufacture lace she
produce article that would do credit to the
best artists in this line In the West Indies grows
a tree, known the lace-tree the bark of which,
when panstakingly hammered and macerated in
water, to get rid of the superduous vegetable
matter, resolves itself into many layers of an
exquisite lace-lke fabric. Sometimes there will be
more than thirty such layers, that the pieces
obtained from one small scrap of bark may represent
many square yards. In earlier days superb collar
of this lace sent by the Spanish conquerors to
the King of Spain.
Where Nature starts in at the work of weaving,
there is end to the wonders she performs She
even weaves hats, minor industry, the flower
sheaths of kind of palm which grows on the Island
of Mauritius and elsewhere being commonly
employed as head-coverngs by the natives. They
serve admirably for the purpose being well made,
rain-proof, and collapsible like an umbrella when
not in use so that of them may easily be thrust
into pocket.

some tree-barks and the leaves of certain

and welt, which together in
a marvellous way by her def fingers. The tree
bark is taken by the natives, pounded and washed
to get rid of the soft and spongy tissue, and
by this simple process is converted into CLOTH all
read made for wearing. Such is the famous tapa-
cloth used all Polynesia, but also well-known
in Africa and tropical South America.
That Nature knows how to make glass when she
chooses is proved by the immense quantities of the
so-caled volcanic glass" otherwise known as
obsidian which is found in connection with eruptve
deposits. But and then she uses the lightning
for similar purpose and discharging bolt into
bed of quartz-sand, forms exquisite and most
curious little pipe of glass, inch in diameter
perhaps, and it may be several inches in length.
Such fulgurites occasionally found in large
numbers mountain-tops-th production being
due simply to a fusing of particles of silica by
electricity.
Nature, of course, is the only manufacturer of
gems feeble man having as yet failed to initiate
her processes successfully. In this industry she
stands alone and unrivaed, chiefly because she is
able to control on enormous scale the resources
of fire. The diamond for instance, is fire product
formed in laboratory in the bowels of the earth
under exposure to temperatures almost inconceiv-
able.
As for fire, from what source did Prometheus
obtain it, They that he stole it from the heavens
but who believes the story? He got it, a matter
of fact, from a volcano. At all events that the
from which earliest secured his supplies
of the element so necessary to his comfort and we'll
being. He went for it to of the workshops of
Dame Nature who, curiousy enough, seems to
have been a maker of fire long before she took up
any other industry whatsoever.
