Inventions Suggested by Nature.

The ram of the modern man-Of-war
is the device of the swordfish of the
IndO-Pacific ocean. It's upper jaw has
long beak or ram, by means of which
1t can pierce not only fish but the sides
Of timber-built ships Even the plants

Nearly everybody perhaps has won
dered why the stems of nearly all
plants and the trunks and branches Of
trees are round instead of any other
shape. The existence of tall plants
and trees depends largely on the wind
force. And tree with square trunk
and branches would offer so much re-
sistance to the wind that it would be
continually having it's branches
snapped. 1t is for the same reason
that engineers build tall chimneys and
piers for bridges round in section in
preference to any other form.

phing over all the things that count

phing over all the things that count

1t is great mistake to suppose
that happiness means freedom from
all the vexing and perplexing things
,, Of life. One day not long ago l went
with some friends to see beautiful
new, house a man had built for his
daughter who had rust been married
and was then on her wedding journey.
The house was beautifully finished
alId very handsomely furnished. Few
brides begin their married lives In
such Il lovely home.
'Is she going to do her own works"
asked an elderly member of the little
party going over the house.
eyes, she is," replied the brides
mother.
"Then she'll have to wash dishes
and pots and pans and do the same
round of things that aren't always
agreeable, same as the rest of US
that don't have such fine homes," was
the reply.
1t was in her mind an illustration of
the fact that there is alloy in all hap
piness, and so there usually is. In
spite of her very beautiful homo the
young bride will have things to do in
her "task of happiness" that will put
the genuineness of her happiness to
the test. 1t is law of life that hazG
piress comes not from entire freedom
from everything that vexes and frets,
but from a fine, brave, heroic spirit
that marches on to the air of bugles
playing martial air with mind and
heart closed to the things that would
make us fail in our great "task Of
happiness"
