The Unity of Nature

Nature can only be conceived as
existing to universal and not par
ticular end to a universe of ends, and
not to one-a work of ecstasy to be
represented by circular movement,
as intention might be signified by a
straight line of definite length. Each
effect strengthens every other. There
is no revolt in all the kingdoms from
the common veal; no detachment Of
an individual Hence the catholic
character which makes every leaf an
exponent Of the world. When we be-
hold the landscape in poetic spirit,
we do not reckon individuals. Nature
knows neither palm nor oak, but only
vegetable life, which sprouts into for
ests and festoons the globe with
garland of grasses and vines

Magical PorDer Seen
in Shorthand Writing

The ancients appear to have regard
ed their shorthand writer's as pos
sessed of faculty closely akin to
magic Ausonius, a poet Of the Fourth
century, addressing a shorthand wri-
ter, says: "Your hand, of which the
movement is hardly perceptible, flies
over the waxy surface; and though
my tongue runs over long phrases, you
fix my ideas on your tablets long be-
fore they are worded. / wish / could
think as rapidly as you write !.
Who has revealed to you what | was
meditating? How many thefts does
your hand make in my soul?"
There is no evidence to show that
the speed of ancient shorthand writer's
was at all comparable with that of our
own day. They wrote upon waxed
tablets and no specimen of their art
appears to have been preserved. For
centuries there was no shorthand III
the world. 1t was not revived until
1888, when DIR. Timothy Bright, a
Yorkshire parson, published a book,
"Characterie; an Arte of Shorte,
Swifte and Secrete Writing by Char
acter.' This system was simply col
lection of arbitrary signs for large
number Of common words. There was
no attempt to provide shorthand
alphabet. says the Manchester Guar
dian

Ancient Plate Priced
BY Historical Society

The Verendrye plate, square bll
Of leaden plato, is said to be the most
celebrated bit of matter in South Da-
kota's history. 1t reposes in the CAPT
toll building at Pierre, in possession OF
the South Dakota Historical society
1t was found buried In the earth near
Pierre In 1917.
This remarkable plate was prepared
either in France or in Montreal at the
request of the older Verendrye, and
in anticipation of the expedition OF
1741, which had been planned by his
eldest son Pierre, into the Mandan
country In the far wilderness OF
America. 1t Is thought that the ex-
plorers planted the plate on the banks
Of the Missouri, opposite what rs now
Pierre, on the hill where 1t was found.
1t bears, translated from French, this

An explorer in the forests of north
ern India has found tree that gives
an electric shock to any one who
touches 1t. The intensity of the shock
varies with the time of day, the cur
rent being at its strongest at 2 p. m.
Few people realize the extraordinary
properties with which nature has en-
dowed some trees. In Nubia, for exam
pie, there is tree, the sofar, that
plays tunes. startling effect due to
the boring Of numerous insects at the
base of the young shoots. The wind,
playing through the tiny apertures,
produces series of fiute-like notes.
A Canadian prairie tree, known as
the compass tree, is an infallible guide
to travellers, the edges of its leaves al
ways pointing north and south.
In Arizona there is tree which, on
being touched, actually ruffles its
leaves and tries to scare off the in
truder by emitting sickening odor.

While some old customs are dying
out, others are being revived. Among
the latter Is that of engraving notices
and proverbs on lovers rings Rings
thus engraved were formerly called
"posy rings" and some Of the inscrip-
lions were very quaint.
For instance, how would the follow
ing appeal to the modern miss:
My love is fixt, I will not range,
like my choice too well to change.
Among the many other notices
which adorned the rings of oldtime
lovers were:
I'm thee, my choice, do rejoice"
This and the giver are thine forever"
"Of all the rest love thee best"
God for me appointed thee" Il joy
in thee, joy thou in me-" and "Provi-
dence divine hath made thee mine."

Primitive Customs in
Cornish Fishing TorUn

A place where grown men play mar
bles with the zest of schoolboys and
where cats catch live fish among the
rock pools when the tide Is out. Such
a place does exist, and in the quaint
old fishing town Of St. Ives, in far
away Cornwall. these things may be
seen.
In the cool of the evening, along the
broad road bordering the sheltered
harbor, numerous groups of hardy fish
ermen, with sea and sun-tanned COM
plexions, play marbles for hours at a
time, surrounded by many interested
onlookers, remarks London Tit-Bits
Grizzled old mariners, many of
whom preserve the old Cornish custom
of wearing small gold earrings, pace
the quaysde In parties of three and
four, following the walk four steps
and turn" which is all they are able
to do on the clear space on the decks
of their luggers.
There is a legend about the cats Of
st. Ives, but there was surely never
another fishing town with so many
cats. Each morning, when the nights
catches of mackerei, dogfish and skate
are brought ashore, the fish are
cleaned on tables placed near the
waters edge and scores of cats have
glorious feed on the offal.

Trained Ears Detect
Faults in Machinery

Brass workers hear "tempers," dull
tools and noises imperceptible to ordi-
nary ears. TRAINED hearing has saved
us thousands of dollars says writer
in the official publication CT firm OF
brass manufacturers of Waterbury,
Conn.
Some time ago 1t was discovered
that there were many employees of
the company, both men and women,
whose sense Of hearing was so acute
that In spite of the deafening roar of
machinery, they could hear noises, or
the absence of noises. that the ordi-
nary person would never notice. In
every case it was discovered that this
unusual gift was not inherited. but ac-
CURED.
1t didn't come to them suddenly or
easily, but only after years of expert
ence and familiarity with their work,
surrounded by the same machines,
that their hearing would develop this
delicate keenness that gave them the
power to notice the smallest sound
amid other noises. A curious thing
was found, that the ability is more
common where factory noises are deaf
ening. II is the overpowering noise
itself that makes these trained ears so
delicate that they can hear what
would be inaudible to others, observes
the Literary Digest

Failures Caused by
Lack of Initiative

One of the greatest Improvements
of the automobile is the self-starter,
now found on all but the cheapest
kinds of cars, which need to be
cranked by hand.
The device suggests the reflection
that very large proportion of the hui
man family require something of like
nature.
They lack initiative, voluntary eff
fort; they need cranking in the form
of orders or directions before doing
anything worth while.
The men and women who succeed
best in life and get the most out OF 1t
are of the self-starter type. They
don't wait to be told or advised what
to undertake, but proceed of their own
accord to do things.
The great inventors, such as Edison,
are all of this sort, says the Sacra-
mento Bee. They are originators, not
mere followers or imitators, and they
rank among the chief benefactors of
the world.
SO it is in business literature, art,
the various industries, and, in fact, all
occupations. Success in each is de-
pendent chiefly upon originality or in
itiative

Akbar, one of the first of the great
moguls who rulede India, has been
named the AsiatIc Charlemagne. He
was statesman and an educator and
built palace for the reception of men
who loved learning and sought after
wisdom. The great mogul's passion
for knowledge is said to have been
shown by whimsical experiment he
once made to determine if it was true,
as he had heard, that Hebrew was the
natural language of all who had never
been taught any other tongue.
To test this assertion Akbar caused
dozen nursing children to be shut up
In a castle, six leagues from Agra, his
capital city. Each child was reared
by dumb nurse; the porter also was
mute and was forbidden, upon pain
of death, to open the gates of the cas-
tie. When the children were twelve
years old Akbar ordered them to be
brought before him.
Men learned in Sanskrit, in Arabic,
In Persian and in Hebrew were assem-
bled at the royal palace to tell what
languages the children spoke. Akbar,
seated on his throne and surrounded
by these linguists, ordered the children
to be brought In. Each child was adj
dressed and, to the surprise of the
assembly, every one answered by a
sign. Not child could speak-a word.
They had all learned from their nurses
to express themselves by gestures.

as rule, many colleges go to make
university. The term university,
however, has been used loosely in the

an institution offering n-professional
instruction beyond the bachelors de-
