Philosophy of Descartes.

Turning the mental vision inward, as
Bacon turned it outward, Descartes
watched the operations of the soul as
an object in microscope. Resolved
to believe nothing but upon evidence
so convincing that h could not by
any effort refuse his ascent, he found
as he inspected his beliefs that he
could plausibly doubt everything but
his own existence. Here at last was
the everlasting rock. and this was re-
vealed in his own consciousness: hence
his famous "COgito ergo sum" q think,
therefore | ann. Consciousness, said
he, is the basis of gertrude. Interro-
gate it and its clear replies will be
science, for all clear ideas are true.
Down in the depths of the mind is the
idea of the infinite pcrfection-the
mark of the workman impressed upon
his work Therefore God eXists.-New

Pliny informs IL, that twelve cities
In Asia Minor were swallowed up in
one night In the year 10 the city OF
Antioch and great part of the ada
cent country were buried by an earth
quake. About 300 years after it was
again destroyed, along with 10000 in
habitants, and after an interval of six
ty years was a third time overturned
with the loss of not less than 10000
souls. In 1G92 the city of Port Royal
in Jamaica, was destroyed by an earth
quake, and the houses sank into n gulf
forty fathOms deep. In 1893 an earth
quake occurred in Sicily which either
destroyed or greatly damaged fifty
four cities. The city of Catalonia was
utterly overthrown, 10000 inhabitants
of the city perishing in the ruins. In
1755 Lisbon was destroyed by an
earthquake, and 1t buried under its
ruins above 10000 inhabitants In Au-
gust, 1922, two-thirds of the city of
Aleppo, containing population of 2OO.-
600, were destroyed by an earthquake.
Thirty thousand Of its inhabitants were
buried in the ruins.

Dread of Marble Portraits.

"Onc peculiarity of human nature
that | am reminded of daily" said a
sculptor, lis the disinclination OF the
average man to look upon himself re-
produced in marble. The sight strikes
him with positive dread. 1t makes
him feel as if he were looking on his
own lifelcss body. For that reason it
is difficult to persuade many persons
worth modelling TO sit for a sculptor.
Frequently | am asked why most of
my work is modelled after dead and
gone subjects. The answer is that liv-
ing people refuse TO give me a commits
sion. The art of the sculptor differs
there from that of the painter. Every
body likes TO be painted. The sight of
ones face, ones figure, ones clothes, in
a picture evokeS nothing but pleasure
bic emotions if well done, but to see
oneself carved out of marble produces
such an overpowering sense of death
that many sensitive persons put off i'm
mortaliZation at the hands of a sculp-
tor until they are really dead. New

Undodaeable Taxes.

taxes that could not be sworn off.
There was. for instance, the English
birth tax of the seventeenth century.

Il duke paid $50. You couldn't get
round it,
"Burials were taxed, according to
the station of the dead, from n shilling

Odd Use For Bread.

Perhaps the most novel use to which
bread is put may be seen in one of our
great watch factories, where more than
forty loaves of fresh bread are required
each day. An official of the watch fac
tory is quoted as saying
There is no secret regarding the use
Of bread in this factory. and l am will
ing TO tell all can concerning it. From
the earliest times in the history of
matchmaking ii has been the custom of
watchmallers to reduce fresh bread to
the form of dough. This is done by
steaming and kneading. They then use
this dough for removing oil and chips
that naturally adhere in course of
manufacture TO pieces as small as a
part of Il watch There are many
parts of Il watch, by the way, that are
so small as to be barely visible to the
naked eye. The oil is absorbed by this
dough and the chips stick to 1t, and
there is no other known substance
which can be used as a wiper without
leaving some of its particles attached
to the thing wiped. This accounts for
the continued use of bread dough in
the matchmaking industry. American

asses was rewarded with an outburst

The Dead sea is forty miles long and
nine miles wide. The Great Salt lake
is seventy miles long and eighty miles
wide. the largest body of brine in the
world. There is evidence to show that
once the Great Salt lake was at least
$50 miles in length and $50 in width,
nine times its present area. The Dead
sea contains about 81 per cent of SOL
ids, onethird of which is pure salt,
while of the % per cent of solid mat

Mosiem PRAYER Ruus,

Prayer rugs were evidently invented
for the purpose of providing the wor-
Slippers with one absolutely clean place
on which to offer prayers. 1t is not
lawful for a Moslem to pray on any
place not perfectly clean, and unless
each one has his own special rug he
is not certain that the spot has not
been polluted. 1t does not matter to
these followers of Mohammed how
unclean a rug that is on the floor may
be, because over it they place the
prayer rug when their devotions begin.
