Birds, beasts or fish had them before they were invented by man, says Dr. Lucien Cuentot, famous French biologist, after a lifetime of study. ; Cuentot points out that the file, anchor, the rails and grooves of guidance, dovetailing and many manual instruments all have their counterparts in nature, developed before man existed. The grasshopper has a torpedo tube for plant- ing its eggs deeply in bark or earth. The cuttle- fish’s outer skin is buckled about its throat by a system of snaps such as we use on gloves. Your elbow was the original hinge, your heart the orig-| inal pump. Cuentot says that the wheel is our only inven- tion that is not found in nature. Mountaineers might tell him of the hoop-snake, said to put its tail in its mounth and roll downhill. One of man’s first inventions was the net for catching fish. He got his idea from studying a spider’s web. Flexible armor was copied from the scales of a fish. The early catacomb dwellers probably learned their architecture from _the ant. The beaver taught man bridge-building. All human inventions come from studying and copying nature. Nature, says Cuentot, is such a perfect inventor | that she keeps her inventions ahead of the require- ments of life. Thus, when the reptile evolved into a bird, with feathers needed for flying, it was given feathers long before it soared into the air. Nature provides the tools so they will be ready when needed. This leads scientist Cuentot toward the belief that there is an “intention” back of all creation —something that is denied by the average scien- tist, who believes that life develops, by chance, that its evolution is mechanical and aimless, un- guided by a Supreme Intelligence. This brings us to the question: here on earth? Why do we live? As yet, there is no answer. Why are we But, the more science investigates, the more it is won over to; the theological or spiritual belief that we and all Pittsbu k B other forms of life are here on earth for a definite | He, 8 workman sinds $4000) in, old dbanke purpose. That purpose is preparatory to some- thing later, beyond the grave. | | GAS | An 83-year-old New York woman takes a nap. The rubber tube of a gas stove in her room be- comes disconnected. The fire goes out. The gas asphyxiates her. New York City has an average of 450 such deaths a year. Guard against defective rubber tubing if you foolishly use it on a gas heater. With equal vigi- lance guard against the twin peril —never turn fas up until sure it is lighted. | JOKE | The London Morning Post publishes a letter from a reader, giving what the reader considers the best joke of the year. Traveling in Scotland, he noticed that talking| in barber shops was limited to the few necessary | words, such as “You need a little tonic” and “Not | today!” “This is remarkable!” commented the visitor. “Aye!” explained an old Scot. “They’re both thinking hard about the tip.” GERMANY Germany is the first country to publish full de- tails of the effects of the war on population. The census shows that Germany in October, 1919, had 60,412,084 inhabitants. On the basis of normal increase in population, Germany would have had an additional 11,- 013,909 people, had there been no war, says the anylsis made in Berlin. That is Germany’s actual war loss. Money losses and indemnity do not count for a great deal, viewed with the perspective of centuries. What really counts is war’s death toll— in battle and behind the lines. : ) INCREMENT Real estate in the five boroughs of New. York City this year is assessed, for taxation, at a total valuation of '$9,947,323,092. It probably rents on ‘v. basis of at least twice that much.

The world will be united into one: ‘country, a United States of the World. That is the sure way to end war. You and I will not live ito see it. | RELIGION ' | The religion of prehistoric man was, on general ‘lines, not much different from that of civilized |man of today, says Professor Mainage, lecturer jot the French Catholic Institute, Paris. | The difference is largely in expression and in jability to conceive the tremendous power of the |God behind all creation.

But the actual value of gold is! the five years 1914-1919 the purchasing power of an ounce of gold has averaged but $13.85. While this condition obtains the quest of the precious | metal is not sufficie:’! remunerative. Whereas} in 1915 the value of the gold mined in this coun- try was over $105,000,000, te report of the Geo-| logical Survey for the first six months of 1921 indicates that less than half this sum will be the! value of the output for the current year. While the mines stand idle there are flood in the workings and galleries and serious deteriora-| tion of the plant above as well as below the sur- face.
