supplemented by further work along the

Perhaps the most important fact dis
covered is that the radiation OF the sun {
heat Is not constant, but varies from day
to day. sudden small change in the
suns radiation does not produce an Inn

says Professor Frost. On the contrary
the changes are gradually communicated
to the earth by the atmosphere-how soon

by further research.

The terms "meliorism', and ''meiiorist'
were introduced by George Eliot. the
English woman novelist and philosopher,
to express mean between optimism and
pessimism.
Pessimist or optimist or meliorist, you
must agree that the world moves.

But why poison the flowers?
Whoever kills flower destroys
beauty which the world needs. Who
ever rears a wall around his flowers,
so that others may not see and enjoy
their beauty, is indulging his selfish
ness
such as hope and faith and charity and
benevolence and right thinking. There
are persons great OF soul who cultivate
them. sometimes in the very soil of
disbursement and disappointment.
And there are others who poison
them.

Very often the two are combined, for
the man who truly loves his family
will seek to root 1t in home of its

Family love In a rented house is a
beautiful thing. It cannot lose Its d.

Unsuspected Pearls

The world read the news and gasped
So much value. such splendor and beauty

The pearls were lost In transit between
Paris and London. AS soon as the loss
was made public the people of the two
cities were In hubbut. Large rewards
were offered for the return of the pearls.
For a short time they were missing.
Then one day a Londoner OH his way to

gems. but the finder did not know 1t. In
fact. he ignored the rule. of law which
says that the finder of valuabl article
must not appropriate 1t for himself until
he exhausts every effort to find the own

small sum.
Not long afterward, of course the
pearls were identified and reclaimed.
