THE CONQUEST or NATURE
According to This Theory, II Was
Necessary to Save the vesetarl-
ans from Themselves.

When the last century opened mans
conquest of crude nature had not
gone far except in scattered spots. An
aeroplane survey of the world showed
In Europe, Asia and America few
immense national clear farming
spaces, but the earth was still almost
like Garden of Eden. Ocean swarmed
with whales, seals, sea otter and sea
birds. Animal and vegetable life OF
Africa and America had achieved per-
feet balance. Africa swarmed with
life, mostly monstrous floral and faun-
al snryiyals of the latter end of the
tertiary epoch, while the quarternary
bird, beast and plant life of America
was amazing. The buffalo of Africa
and the bison of America perhaps
equaled in number all the worlds
beef cattle to-day. The measureless
wild pastures were kept cropped and
orderly by vegetable eaters, and the
vegetarians were prevented from eat
Ing the world to a blank, greenless
desert by the hungry flesh eaters, for
one lion at a meal could swallow all
that buffalo had eaten in year.
In this way meat-eating animals para
doxically preserved the vegetarians by
eating them; saved vegetarians from
themselves, kept down their number.
and thus saved plant life. for every
thing depends upon plant life, and
plant eaters left alone by man AND
other meat eaters would surely make
a desert of the earth for themselves

GARFIELD BACKS UP PINcHOT
Ex-sEcRETARY INTERIOR TEaTl-

Ex-Forester Ends story, Again Admits
information 10 Nearly All
Hearsay.

Washington, Mar Clifford Pin
chot concluded his part In the Balling-
err Pinchot inquiry, and James r. Gar
field. former secretary of the interior,
took the stand. Mr. Garfield had oniS'
fairly started his testimony, however.
when adjournment was taken until
Thursday next
Mr. Garfield went into the detailed
history of his administration of the
affairs of the department OF the inter
ior, especially with respect to the
withdrawal OF lands containing water
power sites. He declared there had
been no subterfuge, no dealing in the
dark. AS to the charge that the pow
er site Withdrawals were too large,
Mr.. Garfield said he thought great
mistake had been made in not making
some of them larger.
Mr. Pinchot's story ended with a
reiterationf of the fact that he had
little or no personal knowledge of the
facts to which he had called attention
during the four days he was ON the
witness stand and with general de
tense of the forest service.
About the only interesting point
made by Attorney Vertrees during the
day was his suggestion to the commit.
tee that Mr.. Pinchot had charged Mr..
Ballinger with "willful deception of
the president" for a possible misstate-
ment made upon information furnished
by others. whereas Mr.. Pinchot, in de-
Tending himself for having made mis-
statements to the president, likewise
on the information of others, had de-
clared he merely made simple mis-

GLASS BOTTLES LONG KNOWN
Those In the Days Of the Pharaoh Of
the Exodus Were Of Splendid
Workmanship.

Although the oldest bottles known
were made Of skins. glass bottles con-
tanning wine are represented on Egyp-
tian monuments which are more than
1000 years old. while as early as the
Pharaoh of the Exodus there were bot.
ties made OF bronze, silver, gold. por.
celain and alabaster, which from their
superior workmanship and elegant De.
sign go to prove that even at that pc.
Rod the art of bottle making was by
no means in its infancy. The early
history OF the bottle Is somewhat mea'
ger, owing, no doubt, to the fact that
the true bottle has never been . thing
Of much beauty. except in few rare
instances, but rather a humble vessel
Of no intrinsic value.
Bottles are rarely mentioned in fc-
ton, but one must not forget the story
Of the Bottle Sprite in Grimm's, nor
that OF the broken bottleneck In the
fairy tales of Hans Anderson. which
latter is almost more fascinating to
older people than to children, owing to
the clever way in which the bottleneck
.endows itself with a personality. The
graceful old flagons, the demijohns
and the queer-shaped bottles at one
time used to contain certain re.
nowned Dutch brew, all re3all the by
gone drinking days when it was con
sidered no disgrace to be "two-bottle
man." and when the custom Of 'join,

commonly joined each other--under

liberty to wander in groups much as at
a tea. Light refreshments {of course
cold) can be served. Salads, sandwiches,
cake, bonbons and ices are all that are
necessary. Hot tea or coffee should be
IN the house for any who wish Il.
Music Is a valuable addition. and If
some form OF amusement can be given
there will be small chance for failure.
II Is quite customary to have a short
play or tableau TO furnish q diversion.
Numbers of small tables upon which
empty plates can be deposited should
be provided, for a guest cannot be ex-
pected TO hold an empty cup until a
servant arrives.
OF course, 1t IS the duty of a hostess
to Introduce people who are congenial,
and, after all guests have arrived. to
fit from group to group and TO make
every one feel comfortable. Forlorn
strange ones should be tactfully brought
into the nearest collection Of people.
A watchful eye should be kept on
the servants, and. indeed, the hostess
should be everywhere.
There is an advantage in the garden
