NATURES FORCES ARE GENTLE

What adds to the wonder of the
earths grist is that the millstones
that did the work and are still do
ing it are the gentle forces that ca
reer above our heads-the sunbeam,
the cloud, the air, the frost The
rains gentle fall, the airs velvet
touch, the suns noiseless rays, the
frost's exquisite crystals, these COM
bined are the agents that crush the
rocks, pulverize the mountains and
transform continents of sterile gran
tie into a world of fertile soil.
It is as If baby fingers did the
work Of powder and dynamite. Give
the clouds and the sunbeams time
enough, and the Alps and the Andes
disappear before them or are trans
formed into plains where corn may
grow and cattle Craze.
The snow falls as lightly as down
and lies almost as lightly, yet the
crags tumble beneath it; compacted
by gravity, out of it grew the ire
mendous ice sheet that ground off
the mountain submits, that scooped
out lakes and valleys and modelled
our northern landscapes as the sculp-
tor his clay image-John Burroughs.

The reports of European congresses
and of the more recent English-speak-
ing Conference were displayed in pop.
ular form. The effect of the crowded
conditions of city life upon infants
was suggested by chart and picture.
Figures furnished by John Burns, Brit
ish Minister of Health, were shown.
Mr.. Burns figures contrasted the per.
centages of infant mortality in con-
gested and open districts, in districts
where mothers worked and neglected
their children, with others more IA
vored. In Hampstead, London, the
rate of infant mortality was II per
thousand; in Shoreditch, at the other
and more crowded end of London, the
infant mortality was 145 per thousand.
In Lancashire, where women worked
in factories and where many children
were therefore uncared for, the infant
mortality was exceedingly high. three
or four times the rate in districts
where women of the same class did
not work. With such facts European
governments are studying plans
whereby mothers should be mothers
and not machines.
