WORLDS DEBT TO VEGETABLE
Possibly Sun Worship Had Its Origin
In Knowledge Of the Fact OF
the Dependence.

Vegetable life may worry along
without animals, but animal life can't
continue without vegetables. There.
fore, says an English chemist, man
owes a great debt of gratitude to the
vegetable. He should do his best to
foster It 1t Is not intimated whether
this is an argument in favor of the
theories advanced by the vegetarian,
but it is considered ample proof man
would not be here only for the hum
BILE vegetable kingdom
But vegetables, like animate life,
are dependent upon sunlight for their
existence. The vegetable, however,
is both the direct and the indirect
sustenance of animal being. Animal
life of certain species exists solely. or
almost so, on the flesh of other ami
mails. But that latter food eventually
is dependent upon the vegetable.
Time would eradicate animate life
should inanimate cease to exist The
relations between plant and animal
form a beautiful dispensation. Man
owes to the vegetable more than he
does to lower animal life.
Thus" concludes this chemist.
isn't it possible the sun worshipers
perhaps had a greater realization of
the value of Old Sol than we of the
present century,"

LIvInastone,s ResourcefuIneaa.

David Livingstone, explorer and mis-
sionary, was a man of varied accom-
plishments. Besides getting himself
taught on board ship, and later by
Sir Thomas Maclear, to take with
great accuracy astronomical observa-
tions for fixing latitude and longitude,
besides acquainting himself with bot
any and geology, with patristic litera-
ture and Egyptology, Livingstone was
an excellent mechanic, steersman
and mariner. His resourcefulness
was at all times remarkable. When
he was hard up for fuel on his first
steamer journey up the River Shire
he landed in the elephant marsh. Here
no trees existed and no fuel was OBJ
tainable, but his men found many
bones of slaughtered elephants, Liv-
ingstone at once took the bones on
board, burned them in the furnaces of
the Ma-robert, and 80 continued his
journey.
