Back in sixteen hundred, Francis Bacon, "meanest, of men" and possessed of one of the towering creative mentalities of modern times,

said, "The knowledge whereof the world is now

possessed, especially that of nature, extendeth not to magnitude and certainty of works." In twentieth century American he meant that man

had no real, proved knowledge of himself, of his planet, the earth, nor of his farther environ

ment, the solar svstem and the universe. Near

ly all was supposition.

Therefore, said Bacon, let man experiment

with the properties of everything. Let him investigate, observe, compare and classify before drawing conclusions or accepting results. Let him hold as laws of nature only those that all the obtainable facts uphold as such. Let his reason be guided through parts to whole. Let him use induction as the key to unlock nature's secrets. .,

Man has seized on this creative idea of Ba

con's and "put it to work. First, he divided the

task. The whole was of too great magnitude for

the grasp of one finite mind. The astronomers

took the heavens under study with their tele

scopes. The histologists with their microscopes discovered an invisible world populated with infinitesimal form3 of life; cells, germs, bacteria, etc., in and of our bodies, in the water we drink, in plants, in the soil under our feet and in the air we breathe. , ' ' Physicists took the study of -mechanics, energy and motion, and gave us water, steam, ineternal combustion and electrical power, and machinery. Chemists discovered that matter, liquid, gaseous and solid, is composed of a number of different elements, such as iron, gold, hydrogen, . oxygen and so on, that are in turn all composed of varying numbers of electrified corpuscles called electrons. In other words, the

root of all matter seems to be congealed elec-j tricity; the earth we stand on, the buildings wej inhabit, the bodies that house our souls. j Geologists delved into the numerous forms of inanimate matter we call the earth, studying their properties and discovering the laws of their being. ' They have found this earth is millions, probably hundreds of millions, of years old. Geographers started out to discover, survey and map the lands and seas of the surface of our globe. Anthropologists developed the study of man according to his varying bodies. Biologists took over the investigation of life as housed in plants and animals. Tofhe latter, they showed, man's body, but not his soul, belongs. Historians began their task of separating myth from fact, that man might know the truth

of his discoverable and written past. Archeologists are helping in this, great-work by digging into the dust heaps" jthat bury the habitations of ancient civilizationsrJby examining the tombs of the centuries dead,", and -by deciphering the records obtained from all these sources written in dead, languages with, forgotten alphabets. Philologists chose words and sought their derivation and laws: ' " :; Anatomists busied themselves with the structure of animate bodies; master physicians sought for the causes and cures" for the different ills to

of mind, with here and there a few pioneers seeking that entity above mind, soul. Philosophers, most ancient of all the scientists, are trying to reconcile all the sciences with the beginning and end of all things, which is eternity. This is but a meagre list of the subdivisions of science. The whole would fill a "volume. Furthermore, this is just the analytical side of science. The other side is synthesis, putting together, using the laws discovered by the analysts to benefit the human race. The synthesists may all be classed as inventors, originators of new and better and more useful things than are found in nature. The engineers and businessmen, philosophers in their lines, have organized and directed scientific knowledge for our use. The savers have financed its taking form in railroads, steamshipshospitals, factories, homes, automobiles, paved roads and streets and the million and one other accessories of civilization, with their capital. Labor with its brawn and brain has helped

the concrete resolve from the abstract, has

made dreams come true. And nearly all as serious minded citizens, under the, leadership of statesmen, have united to protect what has been so laboriously evolved out of centuries of thought, saving and work, against the ignorant attacks of those who think perfection should be attained in one jump. Our machine-made, scientifically thought out civilization is not perfect. Yet if Francis Bacon,

after an absence of three centuries, could revisit this earth, he would doubt his senses and, if he hasn't already been there in the interim,

would think this wTas heaven. . There is no comparison between the material well being of all classes today and the poverty, degradation and ignorance of Bacon's earth in sixteen hundred. We have not obtained perfection, yet we are inspired to seek its attainment for our civilization. Businessmen and workingmen, philosophers, sociologists, economists, theologians and statesmen are seeking the method to that end. Millions of intellects are cooperating in the search. Science already has performed so many marvels, we may well have faith in its ability to accomplish this last and greatest miracle ; to put soul in the machinery, the body, of our scientific civilization. Yet this can only be done if science

gets us to develop touch with our own souls and put them into our work and into our lives and environment.

BIG MISSION WORK ! EXPLAINED IN TALK Kate Hill, field secretary of the Woman's Missionary societies, gave a very interesting talk at the Reid Memorial church Friday night before the missionary society. She brought several new plans and ideas before the society, one of them being that when a woman is taken into the church that she automatically becomes a member of the missionary society. She stated that the big work in mission is not through finances, but through the willingness of the people to give their children to the cause of the great workv Miss Hill explained the missionary work and its field thoroughly to her

(audience and her speech was accepted I as the best on missionary work which jhad been heard.

Save the Baseball Park The movement launched a few days ago to save the baseball park should recommend itself to the favorable consideration of all citizens, and the responses should come in thick and fast. If the present plant is not saved' by the response of citizens, it will be dismantled and the only easily accessible place for the national pastime in Richmond will be gone forever, and, it is not an exaggeration to say, that many years will elapse before the city will be able to obtain another plant of this kind. In other words, the perpetuation of an ideal place for baseball depends upon the efforts now being made to save the ball park. If the directors of the Richmond Exhibition company are denied support, the plant will be torn down, the grandstand dismantled, the fence removed, and

the place restored to its former condition. j How can it be saved ? There is only one way,

and that is by subscribing for tickets to the athletic program which the directors are arranging for the Coliseum. Immediate action is necessary. Telephone the number of tickets you want to 6299.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" THE WAVES - OF THE SEA I love the sea. To me there is a soothing power about it that nothing in Nature quite approaches. To lie by its edge at sun falling, and to hear its mellow roar hour after hour far into the night I am filled with wonder and a feeling of littleness in comparison. And then to watch the roll of the waves as the sun creeps up in the morning the lengthened sheets of water folding so majestically along the shore, a great line of crushed pearls glittering in the light upon a bed of dulled silver. Far out these waves begin to break at first rising only to tumble into mad foam then gathering again and again, to die finally in the lap of the sand. - There is nothing of disturbance about the music of the waves. Rush into these waves. Let them break against your body. Ride upon them. Play in their arms. How do they come? Why are they? Ask Beauty maybe she can tell you. , Now a mass of clouds hovers about these romping players of the sea. The sun is higher. Children have come to laugh and run and dare these monsters who Only smile as they live and die their life away. The west begins to claim the sun. Shadows touch the arching tops of the bounding billows. Slowly the opalled colors of the sky -wrap their robes across the vast distance of the waters. And the waves tumble and rumble and mumble. The listening leaves of the tropic trees join in. The beach is deserted. The moon peeks through new clouds and watches for a little while. The wind whistles a soft song. I am made better in body and in spirit for this that I have seen and known. I fall asleep and dream only of the waves and the sea the sea and the waves.

While a short snooze I was snatching,

Down the cold stairway I hurried

while the chilly breezelets scurried Round my shins, and then I let him safely out the kitchen door. had put him out so often that it really made me sore, Simply that and nothing more. - 4

Back to my room I ambled and into the

Dea.l scrambled, When I heard a fearful wailing that I'd often heard before.

tne same old feline calling, As he vainly tried to get in at the selfsame kitchen door. Then I hastened down the stairway and was chilled through to the core. Just to let him in once more.

STILL WORSE. When I paid up my incometa, a few brief days ago, gome wild alases and alacks I uttered in my woe. I had to pay a frighttul sum, a tribute much too vast; I for a time was stricken dumb, and made to stand aghast. I have to earn my scanty rocks by Ions and patient toil, by packing sonets in a box, and burning midnight oil And so it jars me when I find how great a goat i am; the product of my weary grind must go to Uncle Sam. I said, "I'll seek some other land, some quiet place abroad, where tax collectors do not stand and rob man of his wad." I tried to locate such a shore there's no such place of bliss; in other lands they tax men more than we are taxed in this.

Born of parents in a comparatively humble station in Cavour 79 years ago, Giolitti started life as a clerk in the government service. Early in life he was called into political service, and for several decades he has represented the political district of Dronero (in the province of Cuneo) in the Italian chamber of deputies. In 1891 he proclaimed the right' of the laboring classes to strike. He has been one of the foremost political leaders in Europe for more than 30 years, and his constructive policies may be compared with Gladstone, Bismarck and Cavour.

The trick is accomplished by means of a black thread, a little less than a foot in length. One end of the thread is wound around a button on the rest or cont. The eraser is previously removed from the pencil, and the other end of the thread is pushed into the cavity. Then the eraser is replaced, and holds the thread in position. The pencil is held close to the body, with the eraser upward. The finger rlns; naturally goes over both the pencil and the loote thread, and drops to the fingers, which are holding the pencil at the point. To make the ring rise, the pencil is pushed forward very slowly, tightening the thread, which makes the ring climb. Coptrioht. I32t, by Public Ledger Company
