The question is this: While energy Is being dissipated in accordance with th* natural law. can we so manipulate things as to accumulate energy, making the unavailable available— notwithstanding the fact that cosmic processes seem to be essentially Irreversible? Now there is assuredly no inherent reason why we should not accomplish Ibis. It is true that hitherto all the atomic evolution that has tieen ob- j served is atomic disintegration. We I way speak now, indeed, of the analysis I of the elements. Rut so it was, we may remember, that the older chemistry began, and yet analytic chemistry was the precursor of synthetic chemistry. We began by breaking up compounds, but now we can make l them—can, indeed, make compounds hitherto unknown in nature. Similar-1 Jy. it is mure than probable that we shall ere long learn to achieve the synthesis of the elements as well as ' their analysis. No energy is ever lost, i Even when the radium atom, itself the : child of the uranium atom, breaks I down anil dissipates Its energy, ending, . it is supposed, as the dull atom of lead, i the original energies are not destroyed. [ Why should they not be gathered up I again and thus again lieeome available? Are matter and energy to go on their way. ultimately destroying the human race? For myself. I incline to the view that victory will rest at last with "man's unconquerable mind.”— C. W. Saleeby, F. R. S, in Harper’s Magazine. LIZARDS OF BARBADOS. They Can < hanire Color nod Drop Their Tall, at Will. The green lizards which swarm on every tree certainly have the hardest life of any creatures in Barbados, since i their flesh is so delicate that everything eats them which can catch them. 1 Cats, fowls, birds, monkeys and snakes I all devour the poor lizards, which have only two methods of defending themselves, both very inadequate for the purpose. One is their power of changing tlieir color, whereby they can ate pear bright green at one moment on the leaf of an aloe and then dark chocolate brown on a piece of damp earth. If this does not conceal them from their enemy they drop their tails. The caudal appendage Jumps from the ground and makes a frantic dance all by itself, and if'the pursuer is delud ed into seizing it the lizard avails itself of the chance to escape and grow another tail. For' the rest the poor lizards are harmless things, with pathetic eyes, in. which lurks an expression of weariness and disillusion, as though they were as old as the world itself and had hound it all vanity and vexation of spirit. They are fond of plaintive music and will enter at the open windows when a piano is playing and sit listening and nodding their queer flat heads and looking out of those wistful eyes at the player till he or she. if of an imaginative temperament, might fancy she were playing to an audience of transmigrated souls.—Chambers’ Journal. Cigar Smoke and Love. In Siam the lighting of a, cigar indicates a betrothal. In that country a fierson wishing to become betrothed to the girl of his choice offers her a flower or takes a light from a cigar or a cigu rette if she happens to have one in her mouth, and thereupon, provided there :s no impediment in the birtl tm.utiis and years of the respective parties, steps are at once taken to arrange for the payment of the dowry. The families of the bride and bridegroom have each to provide at least $1 imhi. In Calabria. as in certain parts of India, a lighted taper or a lighted pipe betokens the acceptance of the suitor for the Land of a lady in marriage. In Siberia it is the custom that when a suitor has been accepted by a girl she presents him with a box of cigars and a pair of i slippers as a sign that he is to be I master in the house. — An Oddity In Toes and DiKits. There is > ue curious fact respecting the animal creation with which you j will never become acquainted if you , depend on your text books for information. It Is this: No living representative of the animat kingdom has more than five toes, digits or claws to each foot, hand or limb. The horse is the type of one toed creation; the camel of the two toed; the rhinoceros of the three toed and the hippopotamus of four toed animal life. The elephant and hundreds of other animals belonging to different orders belong to the ip-eat toed The Clever Onee. Griggs—Some men are born great, others achieve greatness. Briggs—Yes; and others simply have the trick of making other people think they’re OTWIt A I.ady Bonntlfnl. Tramp—Kin you give a poor feller • cold bite, mum? Housewife—Yes. On your way out you’ll find some icicles on the gate.—Woman's Home Companion.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Too much publicity spoils a good deed. Signing your name to a friend’s note Is a bad sign. When riqhes come In at the window friends flock to the door. He who has no faith in himself Is destined to become a successful fallure. The brave and fearless man manages to get there early and thus avoids the rush. A wise man doesn’t attempt to pull himself out of trouble with a corkscrew. If a man is unable to stand proe pi'rity be should sit down and give his wife a chance. The suspicious man keeps one eye on bis neighbor, but the wise man keeps both eyes on himself. Unless a man is willing to take I chances he never takes anything else . that happens to be lying around loose. —Chicago News. I Church Pillar*. The joke of the vicar of Withycombe. Devon, at the Easter vestry as to bis laggard church warden being not a ••pillar" bu. a "buttress" of the cfaureb 1 because he supported it outside reminds one, says a correspondent, of another joke of the same kind deliver j ( ed from a London pulpit by the Rev John McNeil. John was minister of the ' •‘Scotch church," Regent square, at the ! time and in his own homely way was driving his points home with telling effect. He suddenly paused, after ex hurting his congregation to be work ers, and then, with a twinkle in his eye, sa 1, "You know. I always tlilnl of chur h members being divided lute two ela.-ses- pillars and eaterpillars.”— Loudon Chronicle. When ltakin< F*aat the t'ln< Halyard* "Many a slender flagpole has been I ruined." said a rigger, "by drawing the halyards down too snugly when making them fast after hauling down the flag. If this is done in dry weather and it comes on wet. the shrinking of : the halyards thus drawn taut to start with may be enough to bend the pole. I and If it should be left In that way loug enough the pole would be perma-1 neatly bent. Flag halyards when no ; flag is flying should be made fast with a little slack.” With ■ Home. The great millionaire looked up Un- ; patiently. "Well." be said, "what is it?” “I desire, sir,” the young man falter- ■ ed. "to marry your daughter, provided"— The other frowned. “Provided what?” “Just provided,” murmured the youth.
