Mud's Important Part
in Eayth's Fo nation

Importance of mud and the part II
played In the earth's formation was
the theme OF a lecture by noted
Welsh geologlst speaking on Welsh
geology at Cardiff. He affirmed that
mud was one OF natures most impor-
tant productions commodity with
out which man could not live. Changes
In the earth's crust had profoundly
altered the muds which had been
formed In past periods OF the earth's
history. One of the most interesting
Of rocks produced by the alteration Of
mud was slate, and the states for
which north Wales was so famous
were formed during period when
that part of the earth's crust was In
condition OF violent unrest, and some
very ancient muds were intensely
squeezed The effect OF the squeezing
was to compress the mud and to twist
Its particles round until they all came
to lie in the same relative direction
like torn fragments OF paper lying fiat
The result of this, and other ch9nges
which accompanied 1t, was to make II
possible TO split the rock into thin
sheets like cardboard.

The BoneYard

The men with pick and shovel seem
able to uproot human skeletons, no
matter In which part Of the earth they
toll. This world must have been quite
burylng ground during the last
1,0O0,000000 years. The delivers with
the Franco-American expedition in the
Sahara turned up the bones OF some
human that must have been over six
feet high and Is thought to have been
woman, at that. The bones are
thought to be Of a pioneer Tuareg
somebody who came into the desert
when 1t was young and before Tim.
buktu was staked out. II seems quite
simple to weave story about a nest
Of human bones, no matter where
found.

Finback and "Killers"
Battle in Polar Seas

During one of Scott's antarctic
cruises to study the finback whales,
the rare appearance Of which In the
waters near the Falkland Islands
threatened the existence Of the island
ers, one Of his assistants witnessed a
stirring battle between 80-foot fin-
back and number of killer whales.
The smaller species are armed with
strong, sharp teeth, grow from 20 to 30
feet long and are exceedingly ferocIous.
They tear pieces Of flesh n yard long
from their larger adversary slash Its
lips and enter It's mouth, ripping out
its tongue. The oceans surface be-
comes red with blood over long
stretches after such n conflict The
killer whale usually lives on smaller
fish and remains around the mouths OF
rivers lying in wait for Its prey. but
occasionally Is found miles out to sea,
hunting and attacking the largest
whales without fear. One scientist
found parts Of 13 dolphlns and II
other victims inside a killer II feet

Genius In the preceding generation
forged Ahead without the mid OF a
press agent" said magazine editor
the other day in a speech. As a gen
eral rule perhaps. But there are ex.
ceptions, Pierre Van Paassen, writing
In the Atlanta Constitution, contends.
Consider the case Of Liszt. When he
first began to play In public he came
to places where his fame had not pre-
ceded him. One evening there were
only a dozen persons In the audltori-
um. Instead Of playing, he invited
them all to supper, where he treated
them to truifies and game and cham
payne and cOgnac and all the delica-
lessen in season. Then he sat down
at the piano and played for his guests
for two hours, as only he could play.
A few days later he announced IN
other recital In a larger hall. II was
filled to capacity. but the audience
was not invited to supper As press
agent, evidently, Liszt could have
given points to the best OF our days.

Happiness in Duty

Whosoever goes to his work rejoic-
ing In the vlgor Of a generous motive (;
whosoever abandons vice because
fascinated by the idea OF self-control
and the l0vellness Of the better way |;
whosoever goes aside to do kindness
out of the pure love OF the nelghb0r,
manifestly finds the ground Of his
content In the surrender OF himself to
what seems to him richly to deserve
the service he pays. The content Is
loved not because II Is qualification,
but because II IL the frame which
suits this service. All other search
for happiness fails, because It IL really
the effort to satisfy some instinct,
whose very essence II IL not to be sat
ished, but to crave ceaselessly and
forever.-Samuel Johnson, In "The
Duty OF Delight"
