Despite their extreme old age, in
spite of the long time that these col

brilliant and fresh that 1t is scarcely
conceivable that they have endured
for thousands of years. With few
exceptions, these astonishingly dur
able colors were made of minerals.
The ever present brownish red was

from the Egyptian red iron-ocnre

being mixed, according to the shade
desired, with variable masses Of al

these last mixtures, the brown tints
we're obtained, and the orange shades

1t has been discovered that the
great city of London rests on foun.
dation of Observation-Disclosures of
thousands Of skeletons that extend
east and west, north and south, from
boundary to boundary of the world's $
metropolis, and beyond There they
lie, compressed into compact mass
by the superimposed clay, gravel,
sand and surface structures.
These skeletons were once the
framework of living beings-bcings
that were the most simple multicel-
lular animals known as sponges.
Many thousands of years ago, when
the great sea ebbed and flowed whore
London now stands, these metazoon
organisms, these cities of cells, these
yenices, with their thousands of ca.
nails, lived and did their unconscious
part in the great plan of evolution.
Now the life has gone. the cells
are crushed, the canals are closed,
and only the frames OF flint, compress

educational Limitations.

The education of the unfit is an
other problem which has come UP TO
bother our pedagogues, and IT Is one
which is bound UP also in the great
problem of understanding. There are
so many men writing on this topic
as to give the impression that we
are attempting too much in our cx-
tensive educational scheme.
II is now known that every brain
has limit beyond which 1t cannot
be educated-a law as applicable to
types of men as to types Of dogs. Chill
dren. naturally, drop out Of school at
certain grades, and those who arc con-
tinued beyond their proper limit are
merely injured thereby, Many a splen-
cid mechanic has thus been educated
into poor preacher who half starves
the rest of his life. 1t is now even
hinted that many OF our new types
of immigrants are mere hewers or
wood and drawers of water as their
ancestors have been from time imme-
rial, and that any education merely
units them for the battle OF life.
II tbese surmises are true they are
touna to shake the very foundation
of our present order OF things. The
theory that there are minds now MI
grating to our shores which cannot
possibly be trained into a condition
fit for citizenship will naturally be re-
sented by those who have built up our
present school system to train men tc
equality. Yet it is time to stop and
think a little.
Every autumn the papers OF the
larger cities are much concerned over
the inadequate school facilities and
publish dreadful statistics Of the thou
sands of pupils who must be placed
on half time. yet 1t has long been
known that in London schools the half
timers who work half Of each day
