Instinct and Reason.

Instinct is the generic term for all
those faculties Of mind which lead to
the performance Of actions that are
adaptive In character, but pursued
without necessary knowledge Of the re-
lation between the means employed
and the ends attained. Reason refers
TO those actions that are adaptive In
character and that are pursued with
knowledge Of the relation between the
means employed and the ends aimed
at. Such Is the technical statement Of
the difference between instinct and rea-
son, but the real, basic difference be-
tween the two faculties is unknown
and probably unknowable.--New York

by Cement Age on the subject Of the
decline In German cement importa-

the United States has almost entirely
ceased. Since the American cement
manufacturers have introduced the
rotary-oven system, they can COM
pete with the German cement, which,
before the introduction OF that inven-
ton, had almost entire control OF the
American market. American cement
manufacturers could not successfully

The gcner Idea that our enormous
