MARVELLOUS MACHINES.
Some of the Wonderful instruments
Man Has Invented.

Some OF the WonoerTui Instruments
Man Has invented.
The sensltiveness of the human or
ganism Is gross indeed compared with
that of the marvellous machines man
has made. 4 Photographic plate cou.
pied with telescope discovers millions
Of stars whose light the retina OF the
eye does not appreciate. The micro
phone makes the inaudlble tread Of q
fly sound like the tramp OF cavalry
men. The human heat sense cannot
realize q difference Of temperature be-
yond one-flfth Of q degree. but the ba-
rometer. an instrument 100000 times
as sensitive as the skin, notes differ
ence of q millionth Of a degree. A gal
vanometer fexes Its finger at current
generated by simply deforming a drop
of mercury so as to prei9St out of
spherical shape into that of an egg.
The amount of work done by the wink
Of an eye equals 100000, 100000 Of the
winks marked on the scale Of delicate
instrument but even this performance
is surpassed by the coherers of Branley
of Paris by which the Hertz waves OF
wireless tclegraphy are caught In their
pulsings through space. The range OF
Impressions which we get from lifting
an object Is exceedingly small. An or
binary chemists balance is some mil
lion times as sensitive and weights
dou-n tho tun bundrndth mart of q mil
ligram. Without such instruments as
these we should know far less about
the world than they place within our
reach. They make 1t evident that our
sense organs give us reports of but a
comparatively small number Of COM
paratively gross stimuli. - Chicago

THE GREATEST THING.

What is the greatest thing in the
world?
The scholar replies:
KNOWLEDGE is the greatest be-
cause it is fundamental. Without
knowledge one is lost. knowledge
comprehends all that may be known
and explains all that may be explained.
knowledge is the only key to the uni
verse.
The artist replies:
ART is the greatest thing. 1t is
more than knowledge. 1t includes feel
ing. 1t combines in its product both
matter and spirit. 1t IS the next to
creative power. 1t is human miracle.
The lawyer replies:
JUSTICE is the greatest Of all. Or
ganized society cannot live without it.
1t is the soul of peace. 1t is the
spring Of progress. 1t is the divinest
attribute Of God.
Youth replies:
AMBITION is the greatest thing.
Without 1t a man would be but an
animal. Civilization is simply realized
ambition. Kill ambition and hope
would be dead 1t is the animating
spirit Of all.
Age replies:
CONFINEMENT is greatest. Gar
ner your knowledge, realize your am
bition. What then? Rest and con-
tentment must fill up the measure Of
living. Without it there is neither
peace nor happiness.
The fnancier replies:
MONEY is the greatest Of all. 1t
makes the difference between savagery
and sanity. Its power. is known in
every place. 1t moves all things. 1t
is the spring Of all activity.
The spender replies:
PLEASURE is the greatest thing.
fThe joy Of the senses is all. All sensa-
-hep- 4eatAls--Hp 70 enjoyment. He who
treads the primrose path of dalliance'
he who squeezes most out Of the or
ange Of life. is wisest Of all.
The mother replies:
SELF SACRIFICE is greatest be-
cause it is the highest duty and it
gives the supremest pleasure. We are
so made that the truest note is sound
ed only through sacrifice of self.
The invalid whispers:
HEALTH is greatest knowledge
ambition, money. pleasure, content
MENTAL these flee in the presence OF
pain and suffering. Without health
existence is but misery.
The preacher replies:
! RELIGION is the greatest Of all. i
is the only tie that binds men to i'm
mortality. 1t is more than philosophy
1t is llfe-abundant llfe-life Of the
spirit.
| Now,
Is there no greatest thing? Surely
Let us all answer:
"LOVE is the greatest thing in thu
world" Without it knowledge is vain
ambition is purposeless, money is use
less. conientment impossible. 1t in
,ludes all else. 1t is the supreme mo
tive Of religion, the essence Of sell
sacrifice. the spring Of art, the source
If all highest pleasures.
, Drumnond was right. The creates
thing in the world is love.

African Natives Drum Signals.

All through the continent of Africa
the natives have a very perfect system
Of signaling with drums, by which
means they rap out messages from vii
lage to village, and 1t is quite wonder
full how swiftly and how far they are
able to spread news.
The drumming IS always done at
night, when sound travels farther, and
as one lies awake on a still, clear
night the ear is often gently assailed
by the low, musical roll from a drum
In the village near, and one waits with
pleasant expectancy till the answering
echo comes, muffied by distance, from
a village sometimes two miles away

A REAL MOTHER.
aan the children at home.

Keep the children at home
The way to keep them at home is to
make the kind Of a home they ought
to have.
The writer knows one home Of the
right kind. You could scarcely driSe
the children away from that homA
with a club.
1t Is not a fine home or expensive
to keep. It is just comfortable. And
4 Is presided Or eessiideed over by woman Of rare
sense and tact. This woman cares
more for her children than she does
for fine clothes. or for society, or for
woman's club She wants her chill
dren to have a good time while they
may-and knows how to give 1t to
them.
For instance:
Two boys belong to this family.
What fun those young cubs have!
They do not go grumbling to their
chores. Mother knows bow to make
drudgery a rare sport. Or, if the task
Is hard. there is the sure reward OF
play at the other end. There is a big
ward and garden. The boys work be-
times in the garden and enact high
links in the back yard. There is big
tree. the barn. the alley. Noisy? or
course. That develops lung cells. And
they are mighty hard Oh clothes. But
II YOU want to find the boys of the
neisbborhood 20 to that house-the in
fallible boy test Of the sort Of mother
fellows have.
The boys have room Of their own
It happens there are two windows IN
this room on the west. And there are
striped awnings over those windows.
Lots Of people in the nelghborhood are
richer, but they never think Of buying
striped window awnings-"just for a
boys room"
Down In the basement are plenty or
tools and soft pine boards. And things
are a bit topsy turvy down there.
But you should see the "contraptions
the boys make. And if by any means
they make something for mother
why. that is best Of all
In the yard are swing and a ham
mock. To be sure, they break down
occasionally when too many kids tum'
BILE In at once. But rope and ham
hooks do not cost much. And nobody
Is ever scolded.
There is also a girl in the family
She is something Of a romp. The
neighbors call her q "tombOy." She
is as 1.-THE as the family cat. AND
there are freckles on her nose. But
when the other girls play with paper
dolls and mimic their mammas i
happens they nearly always do so ovel
at this girls home. Elsewhere they
might rumple things up and incur re
marks.
You might think there Is great de
struction Of property In this home, bu
there Is not And, above all, in thu
daily vocabulary Of this bright mothe
there Is NO SUCH WORD As
DON'T"
The recipe for keeping the children
at home is q simple one:
RIA little good sense, a few
ounces of patience, a pinch Of tact
Mix with REAL MOTHER LOVE.

THIS MOTHER IS WRONG.

A Worcester mother has burned her
children's copies Of Mother Goose"
Andersen's FAIRY Tales" and the
whole juvenile library Of classic fancy.
Hereafter. she says, stern realism
shall rule her nursery.
No Santa Claus.
No Jack, the Giant Killer.
No Alice in Wonderland.
Only "facts."
Now, what does the woman think
the fabric of child's mind is made
Of?
Why, the childish imagination is like
an oriental garden run riot. Its early
fancies are of the wildly improbable
visions impalpable, mirages that rise
and fall. When the child calls the roll
