Darwin thought it im- portant enough to spond thirty years of his life in experimenting upon it. It is blind, it is deal, it is dumb, it Jives in the cold, dark earth, yet it knows how, better than any man in the world, to plow the ground so that all the green things can grow. Would you believe it that the huge chestnut tree from which you are so fond of gathering nuts needs the help of the earthworm? It plows the ground by turning it over and loosen ag it up so that light and air and sunshine and rain can get into it, To be sure, it peads millions of worms to effect much good. These worms cast wp piles of earth, and the longer they work the thicker the layers grow un- til they form a vegvtable mold. Near ly every hit of this vegetable meld has been through the bodies of these worms, and the soil ware this mold is found is finer, darker and richer. It is finer because it has been ground up by the little stones in the worms gis sard. It is darker and richer because it has been mixed with juices and dead leaves in the worm's body The worm has been called "the most wonderful plow in the w rid." o member al- the good the earthworm does, and the pext time you see one don't crush it under your foot, but give it a chance to do its wonderful work, for without it our grass, flow- ers and trees would suffer destruction. -------------- New York's Sky-scraper. Plans have been drawn for a sky- scraper, to be built hy the city oor New York, to be twenly $2,000,000. The poration of storeys high, and cost building will be erected opposite the Rrocklyn bridge terminal, and the basement and ground floor will be used for terminal purposes, From the second storey up it will be used for offices, and will contain accommoda- tions for all the municipal depart: ments, with the exception of the health and police. New York outgrew its city hall many years ago, and the departments have been shifted from one place to another, most of them renting space in office buildings, for which the city pays S550,000 a year, The new sky-soraper is to save fully onehall this sum, besides housing the departments more compactly. » and the World's Largest Fortunes Some one interested in statistion has compiled a list of the ngmes of the possessors of the 100 largest for: tunes in the world.
