then know that the same charm, with
a yet fresher clew upon it, was to meet
one later,' in the "Kalewala." But at
that time one had no conscious plea-
sure in poetic stYle, except in such
ringing verse as Scott's. and Canna
bell's in his patriotic pieces.

Has blown the cares away;
All nature sings, for morning brings

Yet some are blind to beauty
And seine are deaf to song,
The troubled brow is heard to vow
That all the world is wrong.
And some display their sorrow,
And some bewail their woe,
And some MD sigh that love must die
And summertime must go.
Yet some (11610 are who blossom

would differentiate microscopic crea-
tures into plants and animals.
Modern .science, however, has suc-
ceeded in doing that.
Plants are organisms which feed at
a low chemical level. That is, they
feekon air, water, and chemical salts.
They absorb these salts directly out
of water or soil. They possess a green
pigment known as ohloropbyl. As a
result of this pigment;they are able in
sunlight to abgorb carbon dioxide out
of the air and teen it directly into car-
bon compounds.
Animate lack these powers,. They
feed at a high chemical level. Thetis,
they feed on starchea, sugars, fats and
proteine, getting them by devouring
plants or other animals.
'There is a gegen(' great difference
between 'plants and animal's. Plants
aeesseia little activity. Their cella are
boxed in walls of a substance known
as cellplose.•
Animals are active. Their cells do
not. have walls of cellulose, and in moat
cases not much of a wall of any sort.
The first plants upon the earth were
probably microscopic one -celled green
plants floating in the open sea. Simile'
plants existing to -day are known as
ftagellae. • -
The first animal MIS also in the sea.
He resembled thepresentday ameba.
The ameba, found to -day in ditch water
and muddy ponds, is a tiny irregular
shaped speck of grayish matter like
jelly. But it moves, about and- takes
I food by distending itself or flowing
around the food speck and thus ab
sorbing it.

The band of alaid. Coldstream Guards
are to make a tour of Canada. They
will visit Winnipeg, Vancouver, Bran-

and will be at the Canadian National
Exhibition in Toronto, where they will
not only give a number of 'concerts,
but they will else appear with the Ex-
hibition Chorus of 2,000 voices.
The claim of the Coldstream Band,
to be the oldest in the British Army,
is, by the way, challenged by one, who
states that. the band of the Royal Ar
tillery was formed in 1762, 23 years
before the Eluke of York imported Ger-
man musicians as a nucleus of the
Coldstream Guards' Band, and it was
the first bend to be officially recog-
nized by a provision in the Army Esti-
mates.

" Comfort on Roadways.
Speed„has much to do with comfort
in ridiag over rough roads. There are
some types of pavements that can be
-made to seem smoether by driving ten
or fifteen miles an hour faster, while
others can be smoothed out only by
driving slower. It depends upon the
nature of the road, the wheelbase of
the car, the number and weight of pas-
sengers' carried, the air pressure in
the tires and the type of spring control
devices used. So the driver must ex-
periment with each new stretch of

"Yes, Thank you; we must go," re-

Marjorie seemed to bave a different
