He believes that "in the development of the plant lies a great, if not the greatest, object lesson" for mankind, because of the possibilities of plants being "bred and trained and developed just, as animals, and even children, can be improved and trained." By wise selection of the .best/-and rigid exclusion of the poorest, Bur- bank has great hopes of the progress of plants and animals.

Country Born and Bred Advantages of Rural Life Greater than Many Suppose "God made the country and man, made the town," sang Cowper, and his meaning is obvious. Certainly tliere is somewhat to 'be said for country versus town. When the lot has fallen in "a fair ground" among pastures and orchards,' fields and woods, where no hindrance built by man stands between the house and the horizon, there is a certain advantage missed by those whose lives, save for the holidays, are spent in the strenuous city with all its benefits and amenities. In the country they have a quickness of eye and ear and the consequent faculty for looking and listening. Who looks and listens outdoors from childhood on, acquires unconsciously the faculty for remembering natural phenomena. Street cars and all noises of city traffic deadens the sense of hearing, just as glaring pavements play havoc with the sense of sight. There is very great difference, too, between the loneliness of the eity and the loneliness of the country. There was once a Canadian girl who lived in a country place by the sea. When taken for a visit to tlie city, she became homesick at once. She said there were only to be seen buildings and houses, and they made her lonesome. She knew nothing a'bout the latest fashions or the, newest drawing-room tricks, but she had a native dignity and a native gaiety that were all the more charming because she was shy. She knew a good deal, in an empirical way, about wild things and tame, and she knew some good books, though she would reveal such knowledge in conversation by merest accident only. There was once a.-girl in Manitoba���and these are as one type in a British Dominion which cares for education���who made butter and sometimes rode so far after the cattle that, returning across a fenceless prairie, she steered her course by the stars. She received her higher education from her father. She loved the prairies and preferred the lonely life. When a rich man from the home of her forebears in Scotland, seeking her for his bride, urged wealth and ease, she answered, "But I am worth more than that." Happy is the nation in which such types of girlhood and womanhood are multiplied. They made noble mothers of men. They are for the sanctities of life, for the instincts of right influence and right discipline and of right power in the state. Their power is both preventive and constructive concerning what touches the homes'ahd-'trie iife._'.'- Now-when' TTiat'i 'power,,is7 so'-largely" "extended/' they vote and tliey-speak out';in. terms of life rather/than in .terms oi/property, There .are other noble 'types . of strength and;-gentleness- and intelligence among Canadian -women,, but 'ri'ohe. nobler.iri all this .vast arid as, yet. partly peopled:" land.���'Manitoba- -Free .Press.'' - ""-'.'-"/ ���'.-- '" ���'.

Bad Luck Reputation Sir Walter Scott Introduced Idea One of His Works Opals have lived down the superstition of bad luck long associated wiih them and have become today "one of the most fashionable and popular of gems, P. J. Coffey, President of the National Jewellers' Association, said in an address at the annual meeting of the organization at Chicago. "Most people assume that the idea' of' bad luck attaching to the opal is of immemorial antiquity," said Mr. Coffey. "The fact is it is less than a century old. Sir Walter Sc.ott in one of his last novels, 'Anne of Geierstein,' published in 1S29, set the myth going. He introduced into his romance an imaginary opal to which he attributed a mystic malignancy that worked misfortune upon all who wore it. This fiction was the only basis the superstition ever had. But the wide vogue of Sir Walter as a novelist sent the myth broadcast to the ends of the earth. For centuries before his time the opal had been endowed in popular imagination with the beneficent properties of a talisman. "There is no authentic record in all history that an opal ever brought misfortune to any one. No tragedy was ever associated.-with ifc except that wrought by this fanciful idea in putting into eclipse one of the world's most resplendent jewels and preventing a popularity it otherwise would have enjoyed."

New Vork Correspondent/. ���- Good Health Depends to a Large Extent on Proper Diet It hardly needed the Public Health Congress to inform us that we have not yet. learned how to live in towns. Thc immense expansion in the medical profession is not completely or even mainly accounted for by the need of dealing with diseases wliich a few hundred years ago proved fatal. Civilization is casting up its new "affections almost as quickly as we deal with the old, and it does not require any remarkable knowledge or acumen to trace a very great proportion of these to errors in diet. Great numbers of physicians and surgeons would have little to do if people could be taught to eat wisely; and this is a science which Is easy of acquirement now, and its dictates can be observed by all classes of society. It has been frequently pointed out that large numbers of people persistently over-eat, and the yearly visit to a fashionable Spa becomes a necessity if they are not to contract disease from their self-indulgence. Indeed, most doctors know that men are more liable than women to certain ailments simply because t-hey continue to eat'foods which their mode of life makes unsuitable and even dangerous. Men have been accustomed to criticize women for their absurd methods of choosing their diet; but, in point of _fact, women, repeatedly prove themselves the wiser in their avoidance of numerous diseases to which mankind is particularly prone at present. The Health Congress Js performang a useful service in draw ing attention to'the fact that, the health value of foods differs as widely as -ihe .;fQCtis themselves. ".

Facsimile Reproduction Made Possible By Frenchman's Invention Paris.���Telegrams transmitted in the sender's own. handwriting can be sent ever two telegraph lines open to the French public for this purpose, one between Paris and Lyons, and the other between Paris and'Strasburg. The invention which renders this possible is due to_ M. Belin.v the Frenchman who perfected the system of the telegraphic transmission of photographs. The sender of a telautogram writes his message with a special ink. The message is then placed on a rotating cylinder in the "telautograph" apparatus1 at. the central office in the Rue de Grenelle. A needle is in contact, with the cylinder connected with the telegraphic circuit. The circuit is broken every time the needle touches the handwriting and the movement is reproduced on a-synchronized receiving cylinder at the other end, at Lyons or Strasburg. The receiving cylinder will show finally a facsimile reproduction of the "telautogram."

Geneva.���The temporary armament committee of the League of Nations finished its discussion, without coming lo a vote on Lord Robert-.Cecil's plan for disarmament and a guarantee pact among the powers. It was decided to take up the question later, meanwhile asking the opinion of the league's permanent military commission in regard to the French counter-project presented by Col. Requin. Lord Robert's project, in the opinion of many bf the -leading delegates, could not be accepted^and a compromise will be necessary in which some of the features of both his plan and that of the French will be incorporated. The principal difference-between the two projects is that Lord Robert demands a complete general pact of guarantees, while Col. Requin proposes arrangements by two or more countries as more likely to result in immediate action in the case of attack. One of the greatest blows to Cecil's project is the announcement by several of the smaller members'-of the league, that they cannot undertake any such arrangements. One of these is Switzerland. The league's permanent* military commission is also against the Britisher's plan which it has declared impracticable. The substitute suggested Is a partial agreement among a smaller number of the states providing for immediate mutual aid in the case of menace. The compromise plan being discussed would unite these local agreements with the general understanding and institute provisions for reduction of arm a men Is.
