WHAT YOU SEEK

A mother mouse, pet of a life-term prisoner in the Ohio
penitentiary, brings her young into the world by performing
a Caesarean operation on herself with her teeth.
If a surgeon had done it, there would be talk about his
intelligence and skill. We are too vain to credit a mouse with
intelligence.
Commenting on the mother mouse's operation, DR.. j. +.
Ballard asks: els medical science entitled to the credit
that has attended the accomplishment of birth by the Caesa-
rean method, or does that honor ~rightfuny belong to Mother
Nature, which with all his knowledge can hope only to ap-
proximate?a
Answer: The credit goes to nature.
AL of our inventions and discoveries are reflection of
similar processes in nature. From the spiders web man got
the idea of the fish net. Steam, naturally lifting a tea ket-
tie lid, suggested the steam engine. The steam shovel is a
copy of a human arm with cupped hand. The airplane was
copied from soaring birds. Paper was made by wasps long
before men. So runs the story of progress, indefinitely.
What man calls knowledge is nothing more than a grow
ing realization Of what already exists in nature. There are
no new ideas. We merely discover Of the long list that already
exists in nature.
Humanity, increasing it's knowledge, is merely uncover
ing nature, just as the fisherman digs for worms.
If something is wrong with your health, fortunes or state
of mind, you probably are the victim of a violation Of nat
ural laws. Study nature, to learn what to remedy.
Inexorably we are Gagged in by natural laws. Trouble is
the headache resulting from dumping the head on one of
the cell bars. All evils are caused by violating natural laws.
