Nature is, above all, an inventor. Her specialty is tools and machinery. ,The naturalist, taking things apart and looking into their construction, finds himeel working in the atmos- phere of. a Patent ofliee. Life itself may be -a m)5tery, but a mechanical motion may be at onceso clever and so simple that the mind seizes upon it with delight Nature is 1u11 of such shrewd devices as ere produced by the inventor. t. In inventing a bird, for instance, Nature'wae confronted with a fine lit- tle problem. How was she to make a roosting bird that could tuck its head under its wing, settle down for a night's rest and go sound asleep with- out danger' o' falling off the perch? The problem was solved by attach ing to the cords: which operate the toes an extremely long tendon—one which runs nearly the whole length of the leg and broadens into a muscle situatedhigl up on the front of the. thigh. ,.This ingenious tendon passes over the knee in front, runs in a spiral direction 'round the bone of the lower leg, and t -'o- passes over the heel be- hind. As a result of this rigging over opposed joints the bending of the leg serves to put the muscle and tendon on the stretch, and the weight of the bird in settling down to sleep causes them to lull the toe tendons. together, Thus the bird is clamped automatical- ly to the perch. No brain work, no at- tention is required. It works while the bird sleeps. Any b' ' that is equipped with Na- ture's Patent Roosting Clamp always brings har toes together every time she raises a foot in walking. It isn't an easy feat to walk on stilts which have a hinge in the middle, as do `'those of the stork. And to tuck its bead uninr its wing and take a nap while staniiag in water is rpore pre- carious s il,. Muscles which work very long are likely to become fa- tigued; and in such an event the stork would topple into the stream. To obviate anything like this, Nature has made a contrivance for locking the Mut. The bone of the lower part of the leg as made to ilt into a socket above it. When the two are allowed to come together the leg becomes as one piece of bone; the hinge is thrown out of service and muscular fatigue is, prevented. This is Nature's self-act- ing.lock-joint for the use of storks and other altitudinous birds, The beehive presents to the mind an industrial community so completely given over to factory methods as to make -us'wsnder whether it is not the bee, rather tha. man, who should' be given the credit for the great idea be- hind the Industrial Age. Every bee carries with her a large assortment of tools, consisting of special adapta- tions of legs and joints, and of these tools the sting is an epecially well - thought -ca. . contrivance. It has the power and mechanism to drive itself into anything as thick and tough as a horse's hide, with a self-acting mus- cle of its own, which is detachable and even capable of going on working it safe to assure that no species of bird life now in existence will ever become extinct. As compared with 1926 the bird population . of the re- served areas has actually increased by 19 per cent., the ten sea -bird sanctuaries in the.

But the whale has been so deeply made over by means of special devices that if it were deprived of them there would scarcely bo any whale left. It is scarcely known that an egg is a piece of machinery, a real, moving mechanism It is not simply an or- ganism and a mystery, but works ac- cording ' the principles of the ma- gician's magic bottle and of physical laws. . ^h a chalaza, a thick cord of twisted, tough albumen stretching from the yolk on opposite sides to the two ends of the egg serves to hold the yolk in place When an egg is turned in the fingers or rolled slowly back and for,' the yolk does not revolve, but remains with one side always up- permost. • The mgane by which it does this le the weig:.t on one side, due to the fatty globules on that side being heavier and denser than. In the rest of the yolk. Floating in the: white like a ship in ballast, it turns on the albu- men cord Ike a ship's compass hang- ing in thegimbals; it le as true to the Zenith as a as to the pole. ,The lighter, c uppermost side of the yolk bears on •its surface the germ spot which represents the future chicken. As a resit:. at the way the yolk is built this germ spot, being always upper- most, is near the warm body of the hen in hatching. The cha.aza is slack enough to let the yolk float near the upper surface of the egg -a further fine evidence of the needy of the chick to be close to the souro of heat Nor that all; A chick or young bird even before its. true lungs are formed, needs a small but constant supply of fresh air. There is a special organism by means of which it absorbs air through the. shell, and for this reason all eggshells are porous. There is a groat unity in the complications of the egg, the yolk as a whole being of less specific gravity than the white as a whole, all assist- ing'in making the machinery act as it does. • The small fiat place at the big end of the e_g provides an air compart- ment for the use of the chick just be- fore it is hatched, A chick develops with its head toward the big end; when it la fully formed and its lungs are ready ;or use, it pricks the slight membrane which forms a wall to this air space and takes its Arai breath. Inspired b. this new access of energy, the chick gives the shell a vigorous peck and makes a hole through which To My Son Little boy, the golden dust Of half a million ysais Glimmers forth among your hair, But in your eyes gleam tears Of desires unfulfilled, Childish things today Before the wine of life is spilled And love's song gone gray, Little boy, the primrose paths Are waiting to be trod, Reaching out towards Beauty Smiling up to God.
