Thlnks Earth viii Last MANY Year,.

In a recent lecture Sir Oliver Lodge,
the eminent English scientist, an
nounced that the earth would prob
ably continue to exist for 20O00,0O0
years more. These are. of course,
round numbers. Some scientists esti-
mate that the earth will live for ten
times this age There have been ami
mails of one kind and another on this
planet for fully this length of time.
The dinosaurs are believed to have
lived through some such period. The
age of man, which is probably only q
few thousand years, seems the merest
trif1e by comparison. When we con-
slider how man has developed during
recorded history, which is less than
ten thousand years, we may hope
that he will evolve to an infinitely
finer type in the future.-Boys' Life.

MARVELLOUS is HUMAN MIND
Five Hundred Million Brain Cells Re-
sponsive to the Call of Ruler
of the Intellect.

On rough estimate, the brain con-
tains 500,0000O0 cells, each having a
consciousness of its own. Your self
consciousness. your personality, should
be the master of all these willing
slaves.
They are the genii Of the mind,
humbly waiting to do your bidding;
guardians of the vast stores of ideas
that you, more often than not without
realizing it, have gathered along life's
highway. Are you one of the reck-
less kind, who have mo idea" or are
you in the ranks of the sensible, who
summon the spirits of the intellect to
their aid?
How is this done7 Nothing more
simple. Get the problem fairly and
squarely into your head, and then for
get I'll The little genii of the brain
refuse to be coerced; humor them,
however, and there is no limit to what
they can, and will, do for you. You
have to make a decision. Turn the
problem round and round in your head
till you are giddy, you will get no near
er to the solution. Put it away from
you. Don't force your thoughts; leave
them alone, and behold. suddenly,
when you least expect it, the idea you
have been searching for will jump into
your mind, to be instantly recognized
as the idea you wanted.
The magicians of the brain would
appear to be more amenable to femi-
nine than masculine rule, for the prov
cribs of all nations agree that women's
best ideas are her first ones, while
man has to wait for second thought If
he would act rightly.
Our search for ideas, too, must be
systematic if we want to get hold Of
useful ones.
According to the Platonic philos-
ophy, ideas are the universal types of
which individual specimens are the
more or less imperfect copies so that
we need not be downhearted if we
cannot carry out our ideas in practice
exactly as they occur to US in the
mind.
Thought grows SNOWFALL fashion, and
is the opposite to money.
The more we spend the more we
have.-London Answers.

HAVE ANIMALS SIXTH sENsE7
Hard Otherwise to Explain How Wild
Beasts Knew That the Great
War Was Over.

Frightened by the noises of battle
the wild beasts of East, Central and
West Central Africa went scurrying
north and south, travelling sometimes
hundreds of miles In their fright and
taking refuge in localities entirely nsw
to them.
But just as the ruins of northern
France have drawn human beings back
to them-men and women who dwelt
there before the German occupation,
home has claimed the wild animals
and most Of them are now back In
their native haunts.
How did the wild beast know that
the war was over?
The elephant, gorilla, giraffe, ante
lope. buffalo, rhinoceros, lion. leopard
and porcupine are certainly all per-
fectly aware of the fact
Human beings have their various
avenues of sending news, chief among
these the newspapers. the post and
the telegraph.
Whatever the method of communica-
ton, the wild animals certainly got.
the news quickly.
Peace was no sooner accomplished
than the African natives began to see
the homeward migration of whole
companies of wild beasts through their
territories, animals never familiar
in these particular communities and
obviously passing through.
Four years previously they had
come crashing through the under
brush, bound in an opposite direction.
They were in great haste then and pos
sessed of fear; and pachyderms and
carnivora travelled together, the age
old war of the jungle forgotten in a
common plight.

the sound of firing, but wild animals
