C.), the celebrated Greek philosopher, ght that the true source of knowledge is the reason, an’ exchange. According to ching, we ‘come to conscious- through innate ideas developed by contact with the outer world through sense 1le distingulshed be- tween empirleal knowledge and reason, and divided philosophy into logic, metaphysies and morals. He was the first (o attempt the construction of philosophic language: to develop an ! abstract idea of knowledge and science; to state logieally the prop- erties of matter, form, substance, ac- . cause and effect, reality and rance; to describe the divinity as 1 being essentially good, and tell of his moral attributes. He taught that matter is an eternal and infinite principle ; that God is the supreme in- telligence, Incorporeal, without begin- ning, end or change, and that.the soul of man fs immortal. Aristotle (384- 22 B. C.), another celcbrated Greek philosopher, was the pupil of Plato and the teacher of Alexander the Great. He makes logic the Instrument by which _all general knowledgo is ob- tained. He enlarged the limits of philosophy to Include all sclences ex- | In “The Cradle of Courage” whichlseept history. He taught that nature i§ a machine, active through deity or a first cause, Whence “Stentotlan.” A Greek herald with the forces be- fore Troy was blessed with a very | powerful volce, in fact we are toldl | it was as loud as those of fifty other | men.

Ordered Maypole Cut Downy John Endicott was' the Puritau whe caused o \Maypole at Salem, Mass,, to, be cut down. Sent to Salem By 8 set- tlement company, Endicott displayed _his stern opposition to all “vajp athuse- ments” by cutting down a Maspole; which had been put up by an earlier settiement attempted at Capé Ann by Rev. John White, who Had been rec- tor of Trinity church, Rochester, Enz- land. Endicott named the place Si- iem, the Hebrew word for “peaceful,” and lectured the geople on the folly of amusements. He- was a most rigid Puritan in thought and mavner. Endi- cott was commissioned governor of the colony. Santa Fe province of the Argentine now has complete faith in the biblical account of the scourge of locusts, for at times millions of these insects “cover the face of the earth. They | come suddenly and’without warning, in great clouds, and settle down on the country. Then the ground resemn- bles a great moving carpet. Little damage 1s done at first, though the Argentinians find it inconvenient to have locusts throughout their hduses, | but as the ipsects move through the | country, they dig small holes and lay their eggs. Soon the larvae ‘ar hatched, and at that time, before they enn fly, they are destructive. By the time they are ready (o leave, every living thing in their path is destroyed. Eventually they fly away to parts un- known, and the farmers have to start their erops over again, Squads of lo- cust destroyers, fire-fighting units, are maintained by the government to combat the pest, and ranchers are also responsibfe “for fighting them. Their efforts are almost unavailing; - how: ever, because of the myriads of the insects. “Trafiic gefs held up in queer v said a patrolman at Forty-second street and Fifth avenue. “It was only just the other day that we had a block- ade that tied things up for half an hour.
