Reno have attempted to referee the

Whether the Clam is an animal Of
almost human intelligence or not Is
another subject concerning which
students Of natural history have
found it impossible to agree Some
contend that the beast is marvelously
clever. and in proof OF their position
In the matter they point to the fact
that the Clam never has to take back
Its words. that It never makes an
ass NJ itself by foolish boasting, and
that YOU never see a Clam defending
a breach OF promise suit and squirm-
ing all over the court room as Its
sizzling love letters are read aloud

tend that the Clam is lacking In gray

IF a snail should take II into his
head to run with the bewildering
speed Of a West Indian centipede,
so dramatically described by Lafcadio
Hearu, the wonder Of the onlooker
would not be greater than that which
anyone must feel in considering the
sudden leap of invention that has
brought forth the modern aeroplane
out of the flying machines with which
men had been fumbling for centuries,
and making no progress.
They fumbled because the key was
lacking. But the human mind never
goes backward, and it never wants a
key that it does not ultimately find.
Man has always wanted to fly. He
began to try almost in the infancy OF
his race. He envied the first bird he
saw. Read the ancient Greek story Of
Daedalus, which is not the first Of its
kind.
As mechanical knowledge increased
fresh efforts to invent a mechanism
for human flight were made. But the
main point was always missed. There
was no real progress, and, until the
invention Of the balloon. nobody sue
ceeded in actually raising himself IN
the air.
The older devices invariably were
based upon an attempt to initiate the
wings and motions Of birds There
was no true invention about them, be-
cause no new principle was brought
into play. Look at some Of the pic
lures shown herewith, and you will
perceive at a glance why the snail
continued to crawl Ike a snail.
