NATURE AS A DESIGNER.
| II You Need a Model of Equilibrium
Study the kangaroo.

Study the Kangaroo.
There was certain college professor
of machine design who was as original
In his views as he was able In his sub
ject. One of his pet theories was the
INTERPOLATION between nature and cor
rect design.
Boys" he would say, there has
been only one designer who never made
a mistake. and the more we study his
work the better machines we will build.
When you put legs under machine
think of horse or COW, and get them
as far apart as you can. Don't get too
much overhang at either end.
"And, speaking of a counterbalance,
study the kangaroo There is no pref
tier example of equilibrium in all po-
sitions. The further over he leans the
more his tail comes into action off the
ground. And again, in speaking Of
general design, wherever possible, try
to work for elasticity as against rigid
ity. You find very little of the rigid
in nature, and little trees often sur
vive gale by bending, where big ones
are blown down"
All of which was undoubtedly very
true and made more of an impression
on his hearers than some of the more
complicated mathematical demonstra-
lions that followed.-John H. Van De-
venter in Engineering Magazine.

CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.
An Unexpected Meeting With a Long
Lost Set of Dishes.

LOST Set OF OisheS.
In the American Magazine the story
of % curious coincidence is told in a
letter written by Elsie Il. Hart of San
Gabriel, Cal:
"In the early days in California very
little china was used that did not come
from the orient A man whose home
was in Folsom, who preferred the Chi

explanation from his hostess. She told
him the china had an interesting his

Story Of the Peasant Painter MiIlst and
1.-THE AnseIus."
1t was only after long years NJ strug-
gle and dire poverty. through which
Millet was cOnsoled and supported by
his wife. that the peasant painter was
able to take the three roOmed cottage
at Barbiz0n and try to do something
really good"
1t was then that he began to paint
that most beautiful poem Of poverty.
THE Angelus," which Is today one of
the most valuable pictures in the world.
Again and again he threw aside the
picture In despair of ever finishing IL
to his satisfaction. and us often his
wife replaced It on the easel and In
duced him To continue.
On one occasion he was so incensed
at not being able to produce a certain
effect that he seized knife and would
have destroyed the canvas and ended
the matter once for all had not his wife
fortunately seized his hand and in
duced him to give the picture another
trial.
Thus II was that at last The An
gelus' found a place on the walls of
the Louvre. The success 1t won en-
couraged Millet to paint many more
pictures and thus place himself among
the immortals In art.

the Land II Drains.
The Missouri is the muddiest river in
the Mississippi valley. 1t carries more
silt than any other large river in the
United States except possibly the Rio
Grande and the Colorado. For every
square mile Of country drained it car
ries downstream 1871 tons Of dissolved
and suspended matter each year. In
other words, the river gathers annual
ly from the country that 1t drains
more than 123,OO0,OOO tons of silt and
soluble matter, some of which it dis
tributes over the flood plains below to
form productive agricultural lands.
but most Of which finds its way at last
to the gulf of Mexico
