Mans War on Natural BEAUTY.


Today it is unfortunately perfectly
true that man is the only animal who,
instead of adorning and Identifying,
makes nature hideouS by his presence.
The fox and the squirrel may make
their homes in the wood and add to its
beauty in so doing, but when Alder
man Smith plants his villa there the
gods pack up their trunks and depart.
They can bear it no longer The bush
men can hide themselves and become
indiStinguishable on a slope of bare
rock; they twine their little naked
bodies together and look like a heap
of dead sticks. But when the chimney
pot hat and the frock coat appear the
birds fly screaming from the trees,
This was the great glory of the Greeks
that they accepted and perfected ma
ture, as the Parthenon Sprang out of
the limestone terraces of the ACropOliS,
carrying the natural lines of the rocks
by GradatiOnS scarce pcrceptible into
the finished human beauty of frieze
and pediment Possibly some day we
shall again build our houses or dwell
ing places so simple and elemental in
character that they will fit in the hooks
of the hills or along the banks of
streams or by the edges of the WOO Is
without disturbing the harmony of the
landscape or the songs of the BIRDS

preaching in his pulpit. Just as Pete
arrived in front of the church the

Admiral Sir Charles Sapier fiercely
opposed the Introduction of steam pow

claimed in the house of commons, Mr.
Speaker. when we enter her majesty's
naval service and face the chances of
war we go prepared TO be hacked in
pieces by cutlasses. to he riddled with
bullets or be blown to bits by shot and
she'll, but, Mr.. Speaker. we do not go
prepared to be boiled alive" The last
words he brought out with tremen-
dous emphasis. Yet In few years
Sir Charles Napier found himself in
command of the largest steam navy
that the world had ever seen.
Lord Stanley, subsequently the great
Lord Derby. presided over select
committee of the house of commons
to examine into the state of steam
navigation. George Stephenson, the
eminent engineer, who was examined,
spoke of the probability of steamships
crossing the Atlantic. Good heavens!
What do you say?" exclaimed Lord
Stanley. rising from his seat. "If
steamships cross the Atlantic l will
eat the boiler of the first boat" That
pledge was never redeemed
