Man Is Not Master in the
Natural World
That man Is only partially master In the natur.-.l world, and that whenever lie tries to change the natural order of things he suffers for It, was brought out by Prof. Alessandro Ghlgl In bis inaugural address at the Uni
versity of Ferrara.
“Man," he said, “has not found It possible either to change the laws that govern the general economy of nature nr to suppress certain classes of beings, for it is true that the cultivation of usefnl plants and the rearing of domestic animals has multiplied a myriad of parasites of both. And man himself, if he no longer has to fight the lion and the tiger, is constantly buttling against microorganisms no less deadly than those great beasts. “Biology, wisely applied, teaches us ihat whenever man lias interfered with the harmony of a fauna, by introducing a new species or by suppressing an existing one. -he has obtained good results only when he has taken Into account the repercussion* that this action might have upon all the other creatures, and he has run up against real disaster whenever he has failed to take It Into account. “The Americans, for Instance, have waged efficacious war against noxious Insects imported from other countries, by finding the natural enemies of these in their country of origin. This system of natural war has been systema-
tized.”

MARCH 25 WAS NcW YtAiVo All the World Once Observed Day That as Beginning of the
New Calendar.
New Year’s day today? Not now. hilt formerly ibis was New Year’s day in New York and throughout the Christian world, says the New York Sun of March 25. Until 1752 In England and America March 25 was recognized socially and officially as the beginning of the year. Leases were dated then, rents were paid mid In many ways the day began u new year. To this day England, with her Ingrained conservatism, rails March 26 oue of the "qu.lrtpr days," when house reins and land rents are paid and tenants come and go. The three other "quarter days" are midsummer day, June 24; Michaelmas day, September 29. and Christmas day, December 25. These days correspond roughly to the beginnings of
the seasons.
England and the American colonies logged far behind the rest of F,■ civilized world In dropping March 25 its New Y*ear’s day and adopting the more modern date, .latitiary 1. To call January 1 the more modern date Is not strictly accurate, perhaps, since the ancient Romans observed the date as the beginning of the year. But in the Inter European countries the beginning of the spring was held to mark the beginning of the year from time immemorial until In the sixteenth century Pope Gregory XIII reformed the calendar and decreed that Jan-

"Come In. come In out of this wind." she Invited cheerfully. “You must be nearly frozen.” “Fortunately we both escaped, hut such an experience!” returned a sweet young voice, as the man. divested of Ids furs, came into the living room. “Myra,” lie gasped, gazing straight Into her clear gray middle-aged eyes. “Is It possible?” “Wilbur,’.’ breathed Mrs. Becklin scarcely believing her eyes.

“Course there was another condition to the will, w hich was that Celeste should go on livin’ there only until she married and had a home of her own; there wasn’t nothing binding against that. But land! the old lady felt pretty sure about having her place kept up. If ever sweetness was wasted on desert air It was Celeste's.
