It has been tested out in these conditions . and found to be practical. A hydraulic jack was used for operâ€" ating, and when the wheel was not in use it was placed in a shoe. The ski, as he {llustrated it, was made to keep out of harm‘s way or to be lowered and the wheel placed in its pocket, In caso of the craft getting stuck in the mud, the ski could be lowered partialâ€" ly, so that it touched the ground and assisted in pulling the machine out. _ When governors of the Ballyâ€" money, Ireland, high schools recentâ€" 1y advertised for a principal there were 60 applicants. ada and the northern United States without difficulties has been invented by R.

While in London, Komensky wrote a book, called "Via Lucis," which treats of the way to bring about uniâ€" versal peace. As a means to this end he proposed the introduction of: 1. Universal books 2. Universal schools. 3. A universal college 4. A universal language. â€"Jessic Mothersole, in "Czechosloâ€" Vakia, The Land of an Unconquerâ€" able Ideal." Winter Several years later, Milton, in the dedication to Hartlib of his tractate "Of Education," writes of "a person went hither by some good Providence from a far country to be the occaâ€" sion and incitement of great good of this Island," and later in the same letter he refers to Komensky‘s eduâ€" the scheme, and Komensky left Engâ€" land in some disappointment. In a letter written from London he speaks of the great piety of the people, and how they take their Bibles to church, look up the texts, and repeat the serâ€" mons at home. Greek and Hebrew, he says are studiei even by ladies, that they may understand the Bible better. And he was much struck by the rich literature and the number of books sold; remarking that there were not so many bookstalls at Frankfort Fair as could be seen any day in London. Of his own reception in London, he writes: "I live as a friend among friends; though net so many visit me as would do so if they knew that 1 could speak English, or if they had more confidence in their own Latin, or if they had not such a high opinâ€" lon of me.‘ In response to the invitation which followed, Komensky came to London the next year, and was well received. The Long Parliament voted money for endowing three colleges at Chelâ€" sea, Winchester and the Savoy, where his methods of education could be applied. _ But the unsettled state of the country, then verging on civil war, prevented the development of the scheme, and Komensky left Engâ€" land in some disappointment.

House of Comm >ns," on November 29th, 1640. He took for his text, "Love the truth and peace," and at the close he drew the attenâ€" tion of the House to "the noble enâ€" deavours of two great and publique Spirits who have laboured much for Truth and peace, I mean, Commenius and Duraeus: both famous for their learning and integrity, and not unâ€" known, I am sure, by the fame of their works, to many of this Honourâ€" able learned and pious Assembly," He goes on to urge that they «haonta In 1628 the Protestants were finally expelled from Bohemia, anc Komenâ€" #ky left his native land, never to reâ€" turn. He took refuge at Lesna, in Poland, where he began work again as a schoolmaste:, and wrote his "Janua Unmmn," or "Gate of Lanâ€" glages." This book, wri.ten in Latin, remained in use as a schoolâ€"book for nearly two centuries, and, with later works, has kept his name alive Amorigst teachers .o the preséent day.

But this was a different matter. Not a bit or scrap This was the moment when the boarhound would come forward and take it all up againâ€"bone by bone, and scrap by scrapâ€"carry it all over to his own kennel, and then make a good breakfast at his ease,. But he was never once known to attempt to eat it without first offering it to his little friend. In the New York Hippodrome a short time ago a remarkable friendâ€" ‘ship existed between a baby elephant and a fine large boarhound, both beâ€" longing to Mr. George Power. The dog was in the habit of going regularly every morning to a butcher‘s shop close by the Hippodrome, where the butcher would give him a goodly parâ€" cel of bones and scraps of meat wrapâ€" ped in brown paper. The dog would go straight home to the Hippodrome, lay the parcel down in front of the litâ€" tle elephant, and wait patiently until the young animal had turned out the contents on the floor. Not caring for meat, he would poke at it with his trunk disdainfully, and then take no. further notice of it. \ l "Well, I believe you would have said, ‘What‘s th trouble, Jerry boy, can‘t you stop crying and tell me about it? Then I‘d have tried to stop and if I couldn‘t you would have stood still and talked it out with me. Then everything would have been all right. But I‘m too big to cry on the street though . . . . I‘m sure glad you are my mother and that we can talk together the way we do." ‘"That is sweet of you, Little Man, and I appreciate it very much. I‘m "I hope not, Son, but a mother gets quite nervous and upset sometimes. What do you think I should bhave done ?" Both were silent for a while, then the boy continued, "You wouldn‘t have done that way if something had bothâ€" ered me until I cried, would you?" Jerry and his mother were resting on the lawn under their favorite tree after their trip to town. _ Although only six years old, Jerry was learning to think reflectively. "For both of them? Why 1 just felt sorry for the little girl. 1 wonder what she was crying about ?" "Yes, I did, Jerry, and 1 felt sorry for both of them." Mrs. W. B.

In the West Indies, where exotic plants are as plentiful as cowslips at home, floriculture caters for the tables of all classes. A confection of barana blossom delights the natives, and resiâ€" dent Europeans have been known to express their appreciation. Food From the Florist‘s Chinese cook lilies in milk and eat candied jasmine, while Japanese have a keen appetite for flowers, a taste which is shared by the Egyptians, who serve roseâ€"petal jelly, prepared with powdered sugar, water and isinglass, at the end of a meal. In Morocco the coarse porridge is definitely improved when served with a jelly made from pomegranate flowers. Made io Canad: oy the Makers of Kraft Cheese and Velvecta Every visitor to Ceylon, however, should sample butterâ€"blossom, which is boiled and flavored with cinnamon or cloves. Shrub cakes, made with blossoms, ghee and bazaar sugar are popular in the North, and sold at twopence apiece,. They lead to abdominal trouâ€" bles, but, as the natives enjoy the strange eoncoction, they attribute subâ€" sequent ailments to Providence. In Madras and other parts of India, as well as in the wild regions of Afâ€" ghanistan, flowers are cultivated for food, and in Southern India, where the population is mainly vegetarian, lotus jelly is considered a great delicacy. The petals of young flowers are soakâ€" ed in a sugar solution, and boiled until they form a stiff paste, which is powâ€" dered with more sugar and moulded. But this is scarcely a dish for the Western palate. A hungry Canadian workman would have something to say if stewed daffoâ€" dils were placed before him after a heavy mornirg‘s work, but in other lands, particularly east of Suez, flowâ€" ers play an important part in the daily menu.

As though to say, as he licked his lips, "Well, I think you might have let me have a taste!"â€" Ellen Velvin, in "From Jungle to Zoo." did the little elephant give back to his faithful friend. Once or twice, while watching them, I was amused to see the dog, after waiting patiently and watching the other‘s enjoyment, yery cautiously put one paw forward as though to take a little bit of the dainty, But, at the first sign of such an action, the little elephant would lift up his trunk and his voice, and trumâ€" pet his very loudest, vastly indignant that the dog should try to get any, And then the funniest thing was to watch the dog‘s expression! \ Lilies For Dinner "I wonder if the child will ever feel like going to her and talking over her troubles. Will she tell her mother they are chums and she is glad to be her little girl? Why I‘d almost have halted traffic, I believe, if necessary to see what caused the child to be unâ€" happy enough to cry like that.

It is also reported that an abundâ€" ance of vitamine E has been demonâ€" strated in the leaves of watercress. Tests with rats indicate that the dried leat of this plant is at least two or three times as rich in this essential constituent of diet as is the dried leaf of lettuce. In connection with the cheriical work, it is announced, an easy method has been found for the preparaiion of nicotine of high purity. The workers also isolated pure nicotimine, a little known volatile alkaloid that accomâ€" panies nicotine in tobacco, but is quite different, chemically, from the poison itself. Thus far they bave demonstrated the presence of five bioâ€"chemical subâ€" stancesâ€"choline, an alkaline subâ€" stance found in the yolks of eggs; beâ€" taine, found in beets; adenine, a proâ€" duct of growing plant cells; arginine and guanine. But there is no trace of nicotine, the alkoloid peculiar to toâ€" bacco itself. Somehow or other it is created in the laboratory of the growâ€" ing plant. _ The experimenters are trying to find out where the nicotine, a deadly poison in its pure state, comes from. Chemiâ€" cal analysig shows that the seed conâ€" tains a high proportion of fat and a very low proportion of carbohydrates, thus somewhat resembling the soy bean and various oily nuts. A method has been devised, the reâ€" port states, of extracting the protein content of the seed, and a study of its chemical properties now is under way. The investigators are especially â€"inâ€" terested in the various waterâ€"soluble substances which may be present in the alkaline content. \ _ "It was noted during a preliminary study of the seed," the report conâ€" tinues, "thai micotine, while entirely absent from the unsprouted seed, was present in conspicuous amounts in the sprouts that develop in about 12 days when the seeds are scattered on blotâ€" ting paper moistened with distilled water. It is evident that this alkaloid is synthesized very early in the life of the plant." Thus, says the report, "there is reaâ€" son to believe that tobacco seed conâ€" tains proteins of good biological qualiâ€" ty and that it includes at least vitaâ€" mings A, B and G in reasonable abundâ€" ance, No advantage seems to accrue from additions of a more complex galt mixture to this unusual ration. The further study of the nutritive factors in the tobacco seed is being prosecuted vigorously." Rats fed on a diet consisting of 99 per cent. tobacco seed grew at the average normal rate for 109 days and showed no ill effects. They ate the seed greedily.
