Mosquitoes and gnats have a very great dislike to the smell of the following preparation, which, how-| ever, is quite pleasant for human

A prize at £20,000 is offered by Mr. Edward W. Bok, the well- known author and journalist, to the American who conceives the most practicable plan for the co-operá, tion of the United States with other nations for the establishment and preservation of world peace.

Slacking in Ancient Babylon.

Lecturing to members of the Central Asian Society at the Royal United Service Institution,London, on excavations in Ur of the Chal- dees, Mr. C. Leonard Woollen said that on one occasion. he was searching for the foundation de- posits of a temple. The diggers came across a small box containing a statuette of the ancient King carrying the first basket of carth from the site, and underneath that he found a beautifully polished but perfectly blank marble tablet. Upon this should have been the history of the building, but he could only assume that the scribe had drawn pay for work he never performed.

The Evil of Over-Eating:

Dr. W. E. Orchard, preaching at the King's Weigh Church, said that gluttony was the cause, often quite unrecognised, of not a few mental and spiritual evils. Examples of gross over-feeding were becoming more common with these enormous hotels and restaurants with which London was being crowded. This vulgarisation of appetite was mak- ing, not only for social unrest, but for great blindness and spiritual unconcern. One had only to look at some people to know that all idealism had been choked out of them by over-eating. He pleatled for a return to the uld Greek symposium" in which a meal was made the occasion for high conver- sation. "Invite

to your table brilliant conversationalists, and you need not spend so much money on the meal; people of that sort will never police what they are eating.

The Child with the Bucket.

"A famous philosopher was waking by the sea and meditating un infinity. He came to a place where a little child, toiling between sunshine and sea-sheen, was striv- ing to save his sand-castle from being overwhelmed by the waves of the incoming tide.

"The child was trying to bale away the water with his tiny bucket, and finding he could not do it, sat down on the wet, shining sand and wept aloud. What are you crying for, little boy?' asked the great philosopher. 'Cos I can't catch: the sea in my bucket,' replied the child between his sobs.

"It then occurred to the great philosopher, that he also might be trying to catch the sea in a bucket: when he tried to comprehend infinity with a finite mind. So he hurried back to lunch and indulged in an extra glass of port, and once more felt confident of his ability corner' the Absolute."-Morn- ing Past.

Nature Study Pioneers.

"It was a schoolboy who proved that a certain suipe, seldom heard of before in England, is actually a resident here," writes Mt. Ernest in My Magazine. "It was a savage who took white men to see the okapi, in whose existence no one had believed. It was a savage who revealed the gorilla to science. It was an ignorant Australian Black- fellow who led English scholars to the home of the platypus, and echidna, and proved that these mammals lay eggs as birds do. And it was the Eskimos who, by taming wolves and using them as steeds for their sledges, showed that the scientific theory of the origin of domestic dog is correct.

An expedition was fitted out to travel round the Earth to learn the secret of the platypus. Dr. Wilson and his comrades risked their lives to camp out through the pitiless night of an Antarctic winter to see eaperor penguins lutch their eggs. Those are the heroic feats of mo dera naturalists; but as for the boy who stays at home and adds a new species to the catalogue of birds or butterflies, orsone new facts about our reptiles or mammals-he also serves he is of the company of ttle giants by whom the story of Nature is slowly and surely re corded."
