TURNED OUT BY NATURE.
Many Things Of Use That the Old
Dame Manufactures.

Nature is something OF a manufac-
turer herself In the case OF "A certain
cactus marvellous natural pottery Is
produced. Woodpeckers eXcavate
nests in the trunk and branches. and
10 protect itself the plant exudes IA
sticky juice which hardens, forming a
woody lining to the holes made by tho
birds. Eventually the cactus dies and
withers away, hut the wooden bowls
remain. Asa weaver nature also pro
duces fine work. Certain tree barks
and leaves furnish excellent cloth, as,
for instant the famous tapa cloth used
in the South sea islands. Nature Is u
glassmaker. too. BY discharging her
lightning into beds of quartz sand she
forms exquisite little pipes of glass.
She makes valuable ropes OF various
kinds In the shape of tropical vines
and creepers, and she Is even a lace
maker, as witness the lace tree of the
West Indles.--lndian Review.

led twice in that time means that
it has meritcd what it has gained;
that it has met the requirements Of
q modern business age; that it has
turned ont students who have sue
cessfully held the positions furnish
