On Nature and Man


; new flowers and fruits" But what
he, really did was to interrogate
Nature concerning the untried com
binations that she had in her locker,
and to induce her to essay some Of
them. Edison sent agents all over
the world, hunting for some sub
stance that nature had created
which would make the best filament
for an electric lamp. And when he
improved on what nature had done,
still he had at every step to let ma
ture have her way. Possibilities
dubbed up in his brain, but he had
always to submit them to Nature
for her decision. Either she would
or she wouldn't, and that settled it.
Every great inventor must some
times be irritated by what seem
to him the caprices of nature, but
still he has to bow to them and
try another way. Her laws are alb
solute and inviolable, but yet so
complex in their applications that
they may often seem to be as full
OF holes as human legislation. But
there is never real hole in them
anywhere.
But If man can interrogate Ma
ture and induce her to do things
that she would otherwise leave I'M
done, is he not himself superior to
nature? He may be superior
part OF nature, but no more, for
he, too. is natural" He did not
make himself; he did not lay the
plan or his own being, and he does
not even understand 1t.
The genius which enables him to
explore natures laws and make
suggestions to her Is itself Just as
natural as the things it deals with,
or thinks about. But in considering
man we come to the other phase. or
sense, OF the words nature" and
natural, viz, the moral sense.
This seems to be confined to man.
ana many believe ii has a SUPRA
natural origin. Physical nature is
neither moral nor immoral. The
laws and forces Of nature violate the
hctates OF conscience and morality
with absolute indifference.
Here man, Of course, ought not
to follow nature. although, as we
have seen, he cannot, at bottom.
do otherwise than follow her in
the physical world. Science, in the
proper acceptation of the term, has
nothing to do with morality, for 1t
Is concerned solely with the laws
and facts of physical nature. II
is only the conscience of man that
keeps science. in its, practical ap-
pllcatlons, from the most abdomin-
able violations of moral principles,
and how easily the controlling hand
Of conscience slips from the vigor-
GUS shoulder Of militant science the
startled world saw few years ago,
and will see again and again as
long as war endures
AS we have intimated above, the
moral law-one of the most mar
velous of all possible subjects Of
thought-must he regarded as, in
itself, a perfectly natural" thing,
since man did not invent It; and
yet 1t seems to find no recognition
except within the human sphere.

WRAPS FOR
EVENING
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

" HE winter social season has
produced many exquisite wraps
for evening wear. both of fur,
velvet and combinations of both.
The Spanish influence is strongly
felt I'm gorgeous shawls and the
exquisitely carved combs that COM
plete the high headdress of the
mid-winter season.
For the younger set there are
practical cape wraps of heavy plush
in pastel shades, lined with con-
trasting colors. These are collared
in fur, wolf being a favorite on
the more reasonably priced gar
ments. White fox, too, is again
used, and combined with rose or
turquoise 1t makes a striking ef-
feet.
Brocaded velvets in imported
weaves are being created into won
drous wraps for smart evening af-
fairs; one draped creation was in
black deliberately brocaded in gold
motives and lined with cloth of
gold. An enormous skunk collar
added both beauty and warmth:
Jade green chiffon velvet band
ed many times with monkey fur
makes an exquisite wrap for formal
occasions and is cut circular to as
sumo the lines of the popular Span
ish shawl. A high collar that closed
about the throat lends cache, and
the whole is lined with ivory satin.
A real Spanish shawl fringed and
embroidered in intricate designs
makes an ideal wrap, although Of
a light weight. These are now on
display at some of the large shops,
and are indeed worth seeing.
Chiffon, banded in fur, fashions
another delightfully."- dainty wrap
and is made over a foundation of
crepe satin. Peach chiffon banded
in ermine and made over founda-
ton of French blue is charming,
and there are many other color
schemes that one might choose as
well.
Elaborate fur wraps are much in
vogue. Full circular capes of err
mine give a royal appearance, and
so do gorgeous mink wraps fash
toned with the bloused neck. Car
acul. too, is being created into all
sorts of wonderful affairs.

please give your thoughts
about the conception Of nature
What Is natural and what Is not
natural? Should man follow
nature? Would like to see a thor
0ugh discussion Of this important
theme.-E. C. j., Pittsburgh"
OoU must go to the philoso-
pliers for a thorough discus
sion Of so great a subjecl. al
the same time, however, a common
man may have ideas about 1t worth
thinking over. There are two senses
in which we may understand the
words nature" or natural" each
sense being Complementary to the
other. One is the physical sense
and the other the moral sense.
Thus, physically, we call natural
everything that has not been made,
or essentially altered, by man, and
SO has become artificial" The
whole earth and all of its con
stituents are natural. the entire
universe composed Of stars and
other things is natural. All the
modes or laws that govern things in
their movements, their relations and
their changes, are natural; all the
forces that we see In operation are
natural, although often their appli-
cations and combinations are arti-
fetal, or uncontrolled: but man
Annot create a new force. He can
do nothing and make nothing that
nature daes not consent to.
The special combinations may
be his, but the materials and the
forces are natures. Nature never
made a dynamo, but 1t furnished
all the materials and forces re-
Quired, so that all that man did
was to apply and put together
these materials and forces in a
way that nature had not done. But
In every minutest step he had to
follow nature: he had to ask her:
Twill this work." and her silent
reply, denoting yes or no, COM
pletely settled the question. The
inventor is always quizzing natur.
to find out whether his ideas are
practicable or not, for 1t Is her
laws and forces and not any created
by him, that govern.

MAKE 1T A SOURCE

A READER interested in i'm
u proving her home writes.
would you kindly give me
a few suggestions for turning a
spare room into a den? 1t is a
small room. yet I feel It has pos
sibilities."
The den may be a source of
great comfort in a home and II
may. on the other hand, be a great
nuisance. 1t depends, of course,
on the way it is furnished.
A den to be at ito best should
have Suitable" furnishings. 1t Is
a cosy spot usually used by the
men Of the family or their callers.
The first consideration should be
color. Certainly, the pale pink of
my lady's boudoir is taboo. Soft
tones of brown and tan are APP
propriate. A couch with we'll
fitting cover, removable of course
for an occasional cleansing, may
be the main article of furniture.
A material suited to the hard
usage men give den furnishings In
monks cloth. II you are not &C.
Quainted with 1t go to a reliable
shop and have the clerk show 1t to
you before you decide on one OF
those horrible cheap couch COW
ers that too many dens have.
Monks cloth may also be used
as a portiere. One women made
a border for the couch cover and
also the portiere of her den by
outlining In colored floss articles
of interest to men-playing cards,
smoking pipes, cigars and the like.
This makes a very gay border and
relieves the monotony of tone.
Couch pillows may be made OF
monks cloth or they may be made
of what is known as art cloth
Leather pillows. or pillows in neu-
trail tones of heavy raw silk. are
suitable for mems use.
A good grade of mission furni-
ture is to be desired. IL the room
is small, be sure to look for chairs
in proportion to the room. Many
of the shops are showing furniture
of suitable proportions for the very
small city apartments, and 1t may
