tut de France-contain thousands Of
notes, dissertations, drawings, and
highest problems of mechanics, phys

rules of the scientific method set
forth with admirable clearness, but
most of the discoveries of modern
times are there in germ. Leonardo
was more than a savant, he was an
inventor and a forerunner.
Among the questions that most in
tensely interested him. the chiefest
was that of the conquest of the air.
All his life he dreamed of making
man the lord of space and the idea of
dying reused him to a fine prophetic
enthusiasm

the problem, that of the Tighter than

more than any other two crops COM
bined The probability, however, is
that he will get better returns than
soc. for the reason that nearly all food
products are relatively scarce and high
in price, a fact which must have some
bearing upon the consumption and
price of corn. Until recently the cot

lately the reports of damage from 20
much rain have been more numerous.
We thus have favorable agricultural,
industrial and commercial outlooks,
while the stock market appears to
have amply, if not overdiscOunted,
these favorable elements. and hence is
not working in sympathy with them.
Current discussions at Washington
in regard to the tariff and the raising
of revenue are anything but pleasing
the tariff outlook is as confused as
ever, and efforts to revise the schedules
upward instead of downward make the
final outcome a matter of continued
uncertainty No one can yet fOretell
what will be the outcome of the strug-
gle which must yet take place in the
conference committee before the bill
goes to President Taft for signature.
The proposal of the administration to
place a tax upon the net income of
corporations is sure to stir up very
serious opposition. If it's purpose is
to secure greater control over big cor
porations, it will accomplish little in
that direction. So far as large corpor-
atoms are concerned, their affairs are
now already comparatively open to tire

A young girl came to me several
months ago grieving because she had
been obliged by circumstances to give
up a position that she had been filling
successfully.
"Of course l know that in some ways
it is not just the work 1 ought to

don't believe 1 shall ever find any
thing 50 satisfactory again.
l met her last week She was radi-
antly happy. Il have found my niche, y
she said. 1T is just the work 1 was
made to do. And just think, Miss Cam
eron, I should never have found it if
l had not had to give up the other.
Isn't it queer?"
Queer, yes, but only as life itself is
queer.
There comes a time in the lives of
a good many of us when we feel as If
the little narrow byway of duty or
