danger we may give thanks to
an English scientist-Humphrey Davy.
Davy was born in l776, In that Sec
ton Of England which is known as
Cornwall During his boyhood he took
much interest in the science of chem
istry and made tests with chemicals in
an attic. More than once his chem
icals were mixed in such a way as to
cause a small explosion; and there was
fear in the household that all the peo-
pie in 1t would be blown up."
Luckily for the world. as well as for
Davy. the explosions had no serious
result
After he grew to manhood Davy was
invited to come to London to lecture
at the Royal Institution. Later he be-
came professor Of chemistry there. BY
the time he was 80 years Of age he was
the leading chemist IN Great Britain.
One interesting event in his life was
a trip to the continent Of Europe. where
he met and talked with Ampere and
other famous scientists OF the time.
With him he took his young assistant,
a youth named Faraday.
Upon his return from the trip. Davy
learned OF coal mine explosion which
had caused great loss Of life The ex-
plosion had been caused by ccal gas
being ignited by one of the open-f flame
lamps which miners were in the custom
Of carrying to light their way while
underground.
This led Davy to invent lamp which
would be safe In such work. He placed
cage Of fine mesh around the burning
wick of an oil lamp. and it was proved
that this mesh (made Of thin wires
close together would prevent an ex-
piosion when the lamp was taken into
a part of mine containing coal gas.
Davy refused to obtain a patent on
his invention. The lamp. he said, was
a gift to the miners. When a friend

Beginning of Great Fear.
Whatever once was Natures plan,
The master killer now Is man.

In EFORE the coming Of man,
VIZ said Mrs. Grouse to the
young Grouse who had Just
experienced his first day of
the shooting season and was
so frightened and bewildered' that he
knew not what to do, "life was fairly
simple for the little people Of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows. There
was NJ such thing then as the great
fear which now saddens all the beauti-
full days Of Autumn. The smaller people
always had to be on watch for the
larger people who hunted them. but the
hunting was fair hunting. It was wits
against wits and only the weak. the
needless, the careless and the stupid
were caught. In those days the Grouse
knew that only when they were on the
ground were they in danger from the
furred hunters and only when they
were in the open had they cause to fear
the feathered hunters When Fox ap-
peared they had only to fly up in tree
to be safe.
"Then came the two-legged creatures
called Men. At first the Grouse merely
| flew up in trees and sat there. believing
themselves safe because they were be-
brought firesticks that made a loud
noise and killed while the hunters were
yet too far away to seem in the least
dangerous. The Grouse were killed as
they sat in the trees believing them
selves safe. Probably the hunters
thought them stupid to sit there to be
killed. hut they were not stupid. They
were merely doing what always before
had made them safe from hunters on
the ground"
Was that the beginning of the great
fear?" asked the young Grouse.
Mrs. Grouse nodded. Yes" said she.
that was the beginning of the great
fear, not only for the Grouse, but for
all the other people Of the Green For
est. even the big ones. Until then the
Bears had feared no one and at first
they did not fear these new strange
hunters. They were stronger than Men
and knew it. But the terrible firesticks
gave them no chance to get near enough
to fight and little by little they learned
this and for the first time knew fear.
After q time the great fear took
possession of all, big and little, and
every one ran or few or hid at the mere
sight or sound or smell of one of those
two-legged creatures. The Grouse no
longer few up and sat in trees at the
approach of one of these hunters, but
took to their stout wings. Then they
made another dreadful discovery Those
terrible flresticks could kill them or
dreadfully hurt them in the air. Yes.
sir. they could so. No matter how
swiftly they fiew--and. as you know, We
Grouse can fly swiftly for short dis
tance-they were not safe from those
terrible dresticks. There was no safety
in trees and no safety in flying once
one Of those hunters was near. Some
thing else must be done"
What could be done?" asked the
young Grouse.
The Grouse people always were
smart" replied Mrs. Grouse. They
discovered that by hiding in thickets
and keeping perfectly still even when
the hunters were very near, they could
often escape being seen. And they
found, too, that when they were discov-

Everyday Psychology
A Superior Person.
~ DIR. JESSE ". sPRowLs.

Psychologists have for some years
been trying to devise tests that will
separate the superior person from the
inferior. Society has need of this sort
Of mental measurement, they say. And
50 We have all sorts of paper tests
Sons of them seem to be pretty good.
But I have often wondered If real and
valid tests of ability and inability re-
quire the labors of an expert. It
seems to me that such tests can be
made by almost any person.
For example. superior persons are not
satisfied with inferior achievement Nor
are they inclined to quit a days work
with the setting of the sun. Superior
persons are annoyed by incompleted
tasks There's test you may apply
every day of the week to the person
whose mental endowment you are trying
to measure
Here's another test Of superiority. A
superior person is interested in more
things than the inferior You must
so to biography for the proof of this
statement. But there it stands You
may read the proof as you run. In
practically every case of superiority
you find that the superior person was
plugging along for years on some
"side- tissue" something in addition to
the days work.
