rude pedestal the "Cross Of
Cashel," one of the most famous
relics in Ireland. At the end Of
the cathedral stands the round
tower, which is eighty feet high
and fifty feet round. In shape
it resembles the round towers
which dot Ireland, particularly
in the west. Their origin is lost
in antiquity, but they are sup
posed to have been erected by
the Danes in the seventh or
eighth centuries as rallying points
in case of native uprising.
According to Irish legends. two
swineherds saw an angel blessing
the Rock of Cashel, and this be-
ing reported to King Core Mack,
ruler of Munster, he established
a stronghold there. In the year
1101 it was given to the Church
by King Murketaug O'Brien.
When King Henry II, of England
invaded Ireland, he received the
homage of O'Brien, King of Linn

The cathedral was burned By

1647. To the Irish peasantry the
Rock is till an object Of rever-

SINGED WINGS OF THE MOTH

shells to Herself-as.she-might have
been, l fancy she'll offer this:
1T was my own life-and I
hurt no one but Inyself!'
Which isn't much of an excuse
at best, and isn't founded on
truth anyway.
She has hurt hundreds besides
herself just by living her own
life"
No life is isolated. Every indi-
vidual is member Of humanity,
and each life is a thread in the
warp and wool of existence.
If one of the threads IL de-
stroyed the entire fabric is weak
ened.
Also nature ironically contrives
that faulty threads take on the
colorings Of those about--if 1t
happens to be spectacular.
So no life actually belongs sole
ly to anyone. Life is a sort Of
loan-a fragment of a whole be-
longing to many.
And the one who destroys that
fragment hurts the whole ord
hurts the many.
1t seems to me that there Is
grim lesson to be learned from

1t is just like the operation Of

II a man sits on one side Of the
fulcrum, or support of the board
and q boy on the other side, they
will balance even or level, only
If their respective distances from
the fulcrum are inversely as their
weights. BY measuring the dis.
tances. then, we learn the rela.
tive weights.
Suppose the man weighs go
pounds, and when he sits six feet
from the fulcrum the boy on the
other side has to sit fifteen feet
from the fulcrum in order to bal.
ance him. We know Immediately
that the boys weight is to the
mans as six TO fifteen. or one TO
two-and-a half. and since the man
weighs 200 pounds, the boys
weight must b eighty pounds.
