forgotten that Descartes utilized the
ideas Of the Greek mathematicians
and built out Of them his startling
propositions.
Taking the hagellants, that type Of
plant life which also extends over
into the animal kingdom, he sub

is rather a side shoot and degen-

from these plants, well called the
"hobos Of two kingdoms" because Of
their dual connections and their cease

ing on the old question as to the ideal
shape for a ship.
Turning to the common bluebcll he
has found architectural principles
which, he says, go beyond and are
more wonderful than anything to be
found in the Parthenon or in the
finest cathedrals of Europe What is
more important is that he has applied
those principles in such way as to
make it possible in his models to be
hampcred by less weight than was
heretofore required in arriving at a
given structural result.
Taking the poppy head as model,
he has, by duplicating its arrange
ment for distributing its seeds. made
a salt shaker which has become in
stantly popular. The proceeds from
this invention, by the way, have made
the subsequent discoveries possible.
His experiments with cOlloid, that
socalled fourth state of matter, have
resulted in discoveries which seem to
indicate that the "colloidal' boiler,
the counterpart for which he finds in
a number Of plants, will be arrived
at far sooner than has heretofore
seemed possible.

companionable and everything else

bern on the twenty-third Of Novem-

twenty-third of November fell on
Wednesday. At noon on that day the

but you are a sorry husband. Here
it is, my birthday anniversary, and you
have not even given me a stici. Of

The gentleman was taken bach"

the comment Of his better LaI with

MY dear wife, life vi.h VA Is SO
completely satisfactory and happy
that the months go by as days would

either in your looks or actions, that
would give the faintest hint that you
are a year older than you were twelve
months ago today. 1t was neither
neglect nor forgetfulness that did
not mention your birthday anniver-
sary; it was just an absence Of real
ization."
Is there wife anywhere who would
not forgive her husband for anything
after a speech like that?
