ancient idea in nature. as we may see
from the fact that the stems of bamboo.
or of wheat, are hollow, the evident OBJ
tect being to give them as much strength
as possible in proportion to their weight.
We think of the box as a relatively
modern invention. The truth is, however.
that nature was the first boX-maker, and
all the boxes produced by human labor
in the world today are of trifiing num-
Der compared to those which nature is
regularly turning out. Every egg is
box, beautifully made; and so like
wise is every seed. The cocoanut, which
is one of the largest of seeds, is a good
example OF such a box. The spherical
box, somewhat resembling a cocoanut,
which, as il grows on the tree, contains
the Brazil nuts of commerce, affords
wonderful illustration OF nature 81 skill
in the matter of packing. II the top

can possibly put them all back again
All of these wonderful inventions or
nature afford the most convincing PROOF
IMAGINABLE of the fact that there Is
something in creation besides mere mat
ter. There is also mnd-an active. oper-
ating intelligence. This intelligence, call
II God or by whatever other name we
will, is the soul of the universe. And
of that soul. as we venture to believe,
there is in each one of us a tiny spark,
which represents our kinship with the
Infinite. RENE BACHE.

II has been said, and very truly! that
while we forget many of the things
that have helped to make up our past
record we are largely what we are to-
day because of their influence. In some
subconscious way We are controlled
throughout life by our early actions;
the impressions of youth are etched
deeper upon our minds than any of
those which come to us in later years
ana their influence fingers while men,
DRY lasts. We cannot, OF course. recall
with minute exactness the many hap
penings that have come TO US from
day to day. but we are able to summon
from out the host of memories some
particular circumstance that left q
lasting impression upon us, and our
very act of reverting 10 II through the
different periods of life shows beyond
a doubt that its influence is greater
than We imagine. We are not Soon
scious of such memories all the time.
of course. but the record of the past
has sets its stamp upon the present to
a larger degree than many of us are
ready to admit. Our lives begin to
run in certain channels at an early
period. and whether they continue to
run in those channels or whether they
seek new ones the same influences
guide US in large measure.

In 1893 several hundred citizens of
Philadelphia signed a petition to the

introduction of Illuminating gas into the
city. They considered it, they said,

They might have added. in accordance
