Natures Balance of Power.

In view of facts, one is almost will
ing to accept the statement of we'll
known French scientist, who has as
serted that without birds to check the
ravages of insects, human life would
vanish from this planet in the space
of nine years. But for the vegetation
the insects would perish but for the
insects the birds would perish, and
but for the birds vegetation would be
destroyed. Nature has, therefore,
formed delicate balance of power
which cannot be disturbed without
bringing great loss and unhappiness to
the world.

Eyeglass wearers have long since
complained that people are careless
with umbrellas. Many pairs of glasses
have been knocked off and broken by
persons who selfishly refuse to move
an umbrella SO as to allow other peo-
pleato easily pass. A few even persist
in dangerously spinning an umbrella
along a crowded street, endangering
the glasses and sometimes eyes of
passing walkers.

Austrian Girls TO Learn TO Cook.

Cookery has never been taught in
Austrian schools until last September,
when the minister of education added
1t to the curriculum of girls schools
under his control, both elementary
and advanced. He further stipulated
that any girl taking up modern Ian
guages or other extra subjects shall
be compelled to include cookery in her
school course. In order to carry out
the innovation as cheaply as possible,
restaurants are run in connection with
the larger schools in populous centers.

times IN combination, another metal
which was quite different from other
members Of the group. 1t has since
been found In many other igneous
dikes In the vicinity OF Nelson.

QUALITIES OF FUSED SILICA
Latest Material to Be Used for Any

Fused silica is the latest material to

Fused silica claims rare combination

cheap, and has small expansion. and
its disadvantage as easy break

solubility In water--are not important.
The first meter of the kind, as describ-
ed to the London Royal society, is

The slabs are accurately ground, with
plane and parallel sides. The under
