He finds that not .only is there far more country than town, but that even in the great cities oases of green beauty are far more numerous than he had expected. In the heart of London are noble spaces, like Hyde Peek, and the visitor again and again finds, with a catch of delight, a patch of trees and grass, aid often flowers nestling among un - 'broken reeve of somber houses. ft is the ooumtry, however, that fills him with deepest joy.

Of course, if he be a man, he has merits that are not yours, slid that you Lord Kelvin, fmunore British' mathematician and physicist, was born In 1824 and died in 1907, He advauced the suggestion that life might bave been 'brought' first -to the earth bya meteor from outer space. - By David Dietz. - The ancients thought that living creatures sprang full -formed out of the easel. Aristotle,' the Greek philoso- pher, thought that itteeets and flehes arose Sull-Rormed out of mud. That theory is called '!spontaneous generation" by the scientists. ' It survived for nearly 29 centuries. In fact, it survives to some extent to- day. The country boy who puts a horse hair into the watering trough in the hopes that 1t will turn' into an eel, is testingout the theory of spontaneous generation, even though he would. stare at you in amazement if you spoke i to him about that subject. But many experiments culminating in the work of the great Frenchman, Pasteur, have proved to us that living creatures arise only from pre-existing forms of life.: - Consequently we are faced with the problem: How did life originate upon the earth? The late Lord Kelvin, .British scien- tist, once suggested that life may have been brought to the earth in the form of some simple organlem upon a me- teor which fell to earth, or upon a comet which collided with it. • • • That, however, only peered the ques- tion of tbe origin of life into some in- accessible corner of the universe. The majority of modern scientists: prster to believe that life originated' upon this earth shortly after it bad passed through the formative period. The fossils In the rocks do not help us to solve this problem. Because, as we say, fossils were not deposited Mil life had advanced to the stage here organisms had shells or skele-, Oita. The doctrine that some supernatural once entered into the origin of life 1e nown`88 "vitalism." Neither the theory of Lord Kelvin or the ` theory of vitalism can be roved or disproved by scientists at he .present time. There are a number of theories to ac- count for the origin of life upon this earth which have been named after the scientists who originated them. According to P11luger's theory, the foreefatlon of the compound, cyanen, og was the'first step in the process. Cyanogen compounds from a. basic part n protein. A cyanogen compound can only be formed in the presence of incandescent heat. Fenger therefore thought that these compounds were formed when th the earwas still molten. Since they absorbed much energy' in the form of heat in forming, he hon 1 t this would accountfor the thought ht the internal energy of living creatures, Another theory is known as Allen's theory, According to this nitrogen compounds which were formed by the passage of lightning through the air marked the beginning of -lite. ' These were washed down into the sea -by the rain. Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere would also be carried down by the rain. Life, Allen thought; started as a mixture of nitrogen com- pounds, carbon dioxide and water. Originally he thought that there were no individual or definite organisms but merely mixtures of these Rub- etanoes 1n which energy changes or "energy traffic" went on.

In going oboist our countryside and our suburban districts it is apparent that as a whole houses do hot possess any particular distinction and charm; that for the greater part they are un lntereeting, and give us the feeling that soniething about them is wrong. When we look at them critically we see that this is due in part to archi- tectural faults and lapses; but the comprehending eye realizea that in the lmain It is a matter of color. We give scant thought to thecolors that we paint our houses, to the tint of the body color, to Uie contrast of the colors of body, trim and roof, and to'tire relation of the colors to tiie sur- roundings, natural and artificial, We apparently tell the painter that the house is to be white with green shutters, and uceept this idea of the shade of green without considering that it may snake the difference be- tween charm and mediocrity. The house of loveliest design may. be rain- ed by Inappropriate colors, and color may give distinction and charm to a house that in itself is commonplace in the extreme. When we decide on a color scheme we face a problem that seems to get larger the 10^ ger we look at it.

AN INTERNAL BATH DAILY Ii�E D ED REO N A prominent physician made the remark recently that if people were half as particular in regard to in- ternal cleanliness as they are about external appearance three quarters' of our ordinary ailments would be eliminated. This medical num said people did not stop to think of tee importance of keeping the system just as clean as one is careful to keep hands, face and body. The result is that the intestinal tract becomes clogged and waste material which should leave the body daily stays therefor an indefinite period doing a harm few people realize. So many ills are traceable to these clogging, poisons! An internal bath sounds novel, but itis -much easier to talce than any other kind!
