the globe could be traversed. Amer
lea would have remained undiscovered
BY white men. Each continent would
have developed Independently OF the
others Civilization would forever
have remained patchwork. Every
island would have been little world
by itself The genius of combined
humanity would never have, arisen.
The ocean is the mother of COM
merce. Even a lake promotes trade,
and rivers are its arteries, So the
first savage who launched boat was
one Of the worlds supreme benefac-
tors. His invention was worth the
sum Of all that have followed. 1t is
no wonder that antiquity has pre-
served in so many forms the legend
Of an ark saving the race Of man..
The ark is symbolical of human
unity.
In studying the history of boats
we study the victory Of the mind
over nature. Think of the thrill that
ran through the first boatman, though
the boat was only a hollow logl The
boy Of today experiences it when he
embarks on his raft and exultantly
sees the sandy bottom of the river
or the pond gliding beneath him. He
has gone back to the primal human
miracle.
1t Is an ancestral, inherited tri-
umph, ever renewing itself for eSch
individual. Nobody can forget the
first boat ride. Nothing tingles the
nerves like that. Women are some
times rendered hysterical by it.
If you take up a volume of the
stories of the early navigators of the
south seas" and the Pacific you
will find nothing more interesting OF
characteristic than what they tell of
the boats Of the islanders. Ingenius,
beautiful, even wonderful many OF
them were. And you will notice this
significant fact: The inhabitants Of
the islands that had the best boats
were not only the masters Of their
neighbors, but the possession Of the
boats and the mental discipline and
manual skill which their iivention
construction and management de-
manded had developed superiority
in their owners.
l am not sure but when the final
history of mankind is written it will
appear that the noblest of all our
achievements, outside the spiritual
has been the boat, the ship. What
better emblem could we leave on this
planet in commemoration of our prac-
tical science? The finest monument
Of the red man is the birch-bark
canoe; that Of the white man might
be the steamboat.
The Steamboat is often said to have
destroyed the romance of the sea by
driving off the white-winged ships
But the steamboat was inevitable, and

Household Suggestions

For interpreting boots and shoes
equal quantities of white wax, olive
oil and rectified lard, melted down,
make an excellent mixture, but lit
tie oil Of turpentine should also be
added.
Before starting to clean windows care
fully brush all dust off the frames. Also
add few drops Of kerosene to the
water used for cleaning. It gives the
glass much brighter and more crystal
like appearance.
To whiten handkerchiefs which have
become a bad color. soak them for a

its teeth-like row of cannop, and an
other glory Of the terrible dread

|. So, toe, a new element OF romance
has come into being with the great,
.clean, steady, smooth-running passen-
ger liners, which are floating cities,
communities, hotels, restaurants.
salons, libraries, that speed over the
deep, outstripping the wind and be-
lifting the waves. Writers OF fic-
ton have found them not less prolific
than their siow-sailing, deep-pitching
predecessors.
The engine rooms and furnace
rooms OF steamship effect the imagi-
nation like Miltonic images. Kipling,
Conrad and perhaps few others have
put something Of their spirit into lit
erature, but upon the whole they re-
main as yet unexpressed. Thomas
De Quincy could have conceived a
tremendous dream fugue" from
them.
The gondola Of Venice, the canoe
of aboriginal America, the pirogue
of the south seas, seem more poetical
than the modern motorboat, but es-
sentially they are not. We do not
appreciate the poetry of pistons, driv-
ing rods, explosion chambers, spark
gaps, speed gears, propellers and tur-
bines because we still hold purely
mechanical views concerning them
But the romance will come when we
cease to think Of the machinery.

VIA Not Eat insects?

omy and consuming our own smoke,
in being able to use them for food
afterward. But we don't, and why
don't we?
DR.. Howard, the distinguished head
OF the United States bureau Of Ento-
mology at Washington, has recently
raised the question in practical form.
He dug up and collected pint or
so of fat, juicy white worms" the
grubs or larvae OF the cicada or sew
enteen-year locust, sent them with his
compliments to the chief cook Of the
bureau of home economics, who has
steady nerves and none Of the tenn
permanent which marks the born chef
and has become accustomed to liay-
ing experiments sprung on him. This
shock-proof expert waved his magic
culinary wand over the grubs and
transferred them into rich and appe-
thing bisque, or PURGE, which was
returned to DR.. Howard, who, sum-
moning up his biologic courage, drank
a, cupful of the soup, pronounced it
excellent, tried it on one of his most
docilc assistants, and both survived.
There is, Of course, no reason what
ever why we should not eat insects
| II they are wholesome, nutritious and
available in sufficient amounts at a
reasonable price. The only obstacle
in the way is our inherited traditions
and antipathies.
DR.. Howard has performed real
service in starting to test out the
question again upon purely rational
and scientific basis, and it is certainly
we'll worth while giving fair and
impartial trial by economists, d.
eticians and cooks to every form of
insect life which is claimed to be
nutritious and can be secured at low
price in sufficient amounts.
