Flowers Unfold in Four Series.

A flower is usually made up of four
different kinds of parts, arranged in
circles, or whorls one within the other.
OutermOst are the sepals, making up
the calyx; they are usually firm and
green. They protect the bud and
steady the opened flower. Next comes
the petals, making up the corolla !;
they are usually delicate and colored.
often fragrant and often making nee
tar: they thus attract insect visitors,
and they are also useful in protecting
the even more important parts further
in.
The third whorl consists of the red
like stamens, whose heads or anthers
make the golden yellow fertilizing dust
or pollen, The innermost parts of the
fourth tier are the carpets, which bear
microscopic egg cells. each Of which,
If fertilized. will develop into an en-
'bryo plant; or, to put 1t in another
way, the carpets bear possible seeds or
.ovules which become real seeds when
the fertilizing golden dust penetrates
into them.

MAKING Diamonds.

II was MajOrna, an Italian chemist,
who succeeded in producing minute ar
tificial diamonds in a manner differ
ing, In one important particular, from
the method of Moissan, the French
chemist, whose operations in this d.
rection were a sensation at the time.
Majorna heats a piece of carbon
with the electric arc, and then submits
it to sudden pressure developed by
explosions driving piston and
amounts to 5000 times the ordinary
pressure Of the atmosphere In the
mass Of carbon thus treated he finds
microscopic crystals which answer the
tests for diamonds. Moissan's method
was first to dissolve carbon in molten
iron and then allow the iron to cool
under great pressure. The Italian
chemists experiments indicate that
great heat and great pressure are suf-
ficient to transform ordinary carbon
into the diamond form without
metallic solvent.

Cow Moose SkiIfuI Boxer.

In the northern and western forest
regions Of Canada the snow piles deep
ly throughout the winter. In these
forests roams the king OF the deer
family, the moose. To combat the high
pilng drifts, the animals gather in
little bands of from three to a dozen
head and trample down the snow over
certain limited areas. Thus, when the
snow lies all around them, from three
to eight feet deep, the moose have g
small stretch of country packed hard,
so they can get AROUND easily to
browse off the surrounding trees.
From these yards" as they are
called, the moose are at times driven
by wolves or by dogs and men. The
animal founders through the deep
snow till 1t is exhausted. and then
proves an easy prey to it's pursuers.
Though she has no horns. the COW
moose possesses dangerous weapons In
her two forefeet, which can strike for
ward with the skill of boxer and
deliver most telling blows.

Child Labor in japan.

"While there is law intended to
protect child laborers, there Is no re-
strictiOn of the work hours Of adults

to, who has just returned from the
Orient. Arrangement of working
hours is left entirely to the agree
ment between employers and employed.
Factory owners are not allowed to
hire children under twelve without
special permission, and children under
fifteen cannot work more than twelve
hours a day. The law also says they
cannot work after 10 p. M, or before
4 a. M, except with official sanction.
Children get two holidays month, or
four, If they work at night; half an
hour for lunch, or one hour, if they
work more than 10 hours day"

Value Of Hope.

A man without hope Is the poorest
man alive because the lack Of hope
dulls vision. 1t Is hope alone that
makes us willing to live. Man sees
nothing to urge him on to aspire to
higher levels without hope as the foun-
dalton. And where there Is no hope
there is no endeavor, Cecilia Anthony
writes in Thrift. Great hopes make
great men and the man who does not
try is pronounced a failure. Hope
makes man see the brighter side Of life
and makes him believe that there Is
pathway that leads to greater thingR
When this belief Is assured man will
strive to reach the desires Of expects
TONS And the man who honestly
strives for that which he desires
there is hope for him.

Of GOOD and EVIL
Alexandria Place of Remarkable
Contrasts.
Egyptian City Declared by Travellers
Home Of the Widest Contradictions
-Always Great and Proud.

Alexandria is city of contrasts,
writes Harold Lake In the London
Daily Mail.
"All the cities to which one comes
In the course of this pilgrimage of
life leave their mark upon the men,
ory," says Mr.. Lake. "And of those
cities which have found, cannot re-
call one which could show such clear
cut contrasts Of good and evil, of beau

there are riots, confusion and turmoil.
1t lives In the mind as the home of

perilous waters with the insolence Of
intolerable age. In some queer way
you feel that the whole place Is judg-
ing you and finding ydl wanting. 1t
is SO very, very old. There may be
electric tramway cars and petrol-driven
machines In its streets, and many of
Its houses may look like bits Of Paris
transplanted bodily to that southern
Mediterranean shore, but the spirit Of
the city survives those accidents Of
today and compels you to remember
how great and proud a place it was
while Britain was still wilderness.
AS is the town, so are its people,
and one becomes curiously aware OF
their scorn. 1t Is true that they Will
debase themselves to the dust in the
hope of obtaining half plaster, that
fawning and flattery are among the
chief of their arts, and that they will
obey with cringing zeal any order you
may choose to give-but behind 1t all
is their contempt.

en- by Humorist

Honesty and industry are requisite
man who is determined to become very
wealthy must therefore cultivate per-
sons who are honest and industrious,
writes Don Marquis in the New York
Sun. Honest and industrious persons
are very apt to believe in the integrity
OF others, and this makes 1t far cas-
Ter for an enterprising young man to
do business with them advantageously
than If they were self-seeking and sus-
picious. Profits are always to be de-
rived from honesty and industry, II
the thing Is managed cleverly.
Thrift cannot be too highly COM
mended. Teach all those with whom
you come in contact to be saving. You
never know when you may need their
savings to finance one Of your ven
lures. Analyze any great fortune and
you will find that it is built Of small
savings
Sobriety cannot be too highly
praised. The staid and sober person
is dependable. You can count on him
receiving certain calculable income
year in and year out; and If you have
enough persons Of this sort on your
list you are building on a solid foun-
dation; there need be nothing hap
hazard about your methods.
Steadily, so many hours day. a
reliable, specified number Of sober me-
thodical persons are piling up for you
each his modest proportion Of incre-
ment, and at stated seasons 1t be-
comes yours, just as the apiary gar
ners proportion Of the honey from
the hives. The wastrel may have mon
ey at times, and it Is usually easy to
get it away from him when he has 1T;
but he Is not dependable; there will
always be occasions when others will
get to him first.
Build your own list, and make your
relations with the persons on it perma-
nent. 1t is better in any event never
to associate with wastrels. They are
not moral persons, and you must be-
come known as a man with moral as
sociations. This is a great help IN
business.

of the Canadian air service. When
airplane engines are overhauled and
waste is used the engines have often
stopped when they were afterward
placed in service.
"These cases have appeared to be
due not to waste being accidentally

STRONG IN BODY
Men Of Genius by Ne Means an
Unhealthy Lot.
Lives Of Many Of the Worlds Greatest
Men Show That Mental Power and
Strength Go Together.

The popular idea that geniuses are
usually physical weaklings or men OF
poor health is vigorously combated by
Prof. Rudolph NJ. Binder Of New York
university. AS matter of fact, says
Professor Bender, according to the
New York Sun, 1t is only because there
has been so much comment about the
comparatively few physical weaklings
who were geniuses that the tradition
has grown that exceptional mental
power and bodily weakness are related
conditions
Declaring his belief that there Is no
weakling genius who would not have
been greater one had he been of
sound body. Professor Binder points
out that most of the worlds greatest
sgeniuses were not only healthy, but
often Of more than ordinary physical
strength.
illustrations of this could be ex-
tended Indefinitely" said Professor
Binder, "but 1t is necessary to men,
ton only few shining examples
: down the ages. Let's begin with Soc
rates. The great philosopher served
as hOplite, which means that he was
member of what we in modern terms
would designate as shock troops. He
was seventy years old when he was
condemned to drink the hemlock.
Coming down many centuries. Sir
Isaac Newton lived to be eighty-five,
and was strong and healthy and a hard
worker till within short time of his
death. Darwin was born with rug
ged constitution, which he ruined
by his failure to care for it, but it
enabled him to accomplish a remark
able amount of work before he died
at the age of seventy-three.
IF proof were needed that Herbert
Spencer was born with an iron consti-
tuition it would be provided by that In
cident of his boyhoOd when at the age
Of thirteen he walked 4S miles one
day, Al the second and 20 the third,
and with very little food during the
three days. Spencer is another man
who injured his health by the lack OF
care Of himself, but if he had not been
naturally strong he would not have
lived to be eighty-three.
Even Shakespeare who died at IF
ty-twO, might be said to have lived
good life considering the amount Of
work he did as playwright, actor and
manager. Goethe, an exceedingly busy
man, was in good health almost t"
the time Of his death at eighty-1hree.
''Of the four probably most famous
Italians Dante lived to be only fifty
eight, but his life was one Of arluous
labor; Leonardo da Vinci. an athlete
who Outstripped far younger men ia
feats of strength. was nearly sixty
seven; Michelangelo worked furiously
most of his ninety years. ard Gaiileo
enjoyed good health till his death at
seventyeight.
ut was because the population as
a whole was strong in body that Ath-
ems produced such remarkable num-
Der of geniuSes in the days of its glory,
and if we want to increase the num-
Der of geniuses in the world today the
way to accomplish it is to improve
the health of all the people"

HIsslno for Docs.

Indians are very fond Of dogs, and
around every wigwam, tepee, hut, or
wherever they may reside, there are
always from 6 to 20 wolfish dogs. An
Indian dog loves an Indian and hates
a white man with equal intensity.
When white man drives through an
Indian village and sees dog by the
wayside his natural impulse Is to
whistle in friendly way. But the
instant he whistles the dog turns tail
and is out of sight quicker than If he
had been kicked. An Indian never
whistles to his dog when he wants
the animal to come to him; he places
his tongue against his teeth and
Kisses.
