Success Within Reach
of Practical Dreamer

What is the good of dreaming II
your dreams never come true?
That almost sounds hopeless. Dream
II you like of possible development
toward the aims and ideals of life. |
dream pleasantly of nice things, al
though they are not within the bounds
Of possibility. There is no harm in
that so long as you keep control OF
your dreaming. Why shouldn't we
make our own romance within our
own mind7 It's a nice and attractive
recreation, just as is the reading OF
a story.
But we must dream, too, about the
goal of success we want to reach. 1t
need not be material, it may be q
spiritual goal. Certainly 1t should be
both. The material one is good to
have, especially If it is an honorable
one. It's no good, however, simply
dreaming about it only; we must get
busy in trying to achieve it. Dream
ing about it is futile unless we sup
port it with real, solid effort to at
tain our ends.
That, says the London Chronicle, is
the way great things have been ac-
complished, great adventures carried
out, great inventions brought to func-
ton. There were the dreams, sure
enough, but the dreamers gave their
dreams life.

Watermelon From Africa

The traditional appetite of the col
ored man for watermelon Is due to
the fact that he acquired his fondness
for the watermelon in the land Of his
origin, Africa. where they are found
today growing wild. That water
melons were grown by the ancient
Egyptians is proved by numerous
paintings as well as carvings on mon
uments. The fruit was probably in
troduced into England some time In
the Sixteenth century.
According to Master Graves, 1t
abounded in Massachusetts in 1929,
only nine years after the landing of
the Pilgrims. The Indians lost little
time in adding the watermelon to
their list of cultivated plants. In
1864 the Florida tribes were cultivat-
ing it in their fields of maize, and
nine years later Father Marquette
found the Western tribes growing wa
termelonS.

London Has Right to
Be Proud of Big Ben

One of the most conspicuous struc-
lures in London Is the tower of the
houses of parliament that rises high
above the pavement near Westminster
abbey and the neighbOring River
Thames and seems to watch from its
great height all the many activities of
the largest city in the world. The in
side of this tower contains staircase
of 800 steps and when one has climbed
10 the top one is in the room contain
ing the mechanism of one of the larg-
est clocks in the world, the clock
known as Big Ben, and which has
marked time for London for many a
year.
1t is impossible to understand the
size of this giant of clock as one
stands on the ground, but if one meas
ures its four faces one finds them to
be % feet across, which means a dis
lance equal to that of four average
men standing on each others heads.
The minute hands are IA feet long ;
they would reach higher than an av-
erage room. The swinging pendulum
weighs nearly 500 pounds. The fig
ures on the faces are each two feet
long and the minute spaces are a foot
square. While the minute hand of
your little watch jumps in very small
spaces, the minute hand of Big Ben
jumps foot at time.
