To pluck out the heart of the greatest
of all mysteries, the mystery pt the
world and man's existence therein, has
been the one supreme desire of earth's
brightest minds from
the beginning of
human history.
Among the first of
the moderns to tackle
this stupendous task
In dead earnest and
with soul a f 1 r, m e
with a holy enihus
iaam was Giordano
Bruno, born In the
little town of Nola.
Italy. In 1648.
Sad and glorious Is
the Ufa story of
Bruno sad when you
think of what the man suffered, but
glorious In the light of the splendid
triumph that in the fulness of time
crowned his sorrow and his toil. ,
Bruno when yet a very young man be
came a Dominican monk, but soon
learned that In so doing;, he had made a
great mistake. He was required to, atop
th.nk.ng-, a command to which hla active
mind could not possibly become obedient.
He kept on thinking, and soon found
out that he was a "suspect." His brother
monks looked at him with wide-opened
eyes full of amaxement and terror. They
ualled him a heretic, and he was expelled
from the order.
Cast out from the monastery, Bruno
began his continental wanderings, pro
claiming himself wherever he went the
Evangel of Reason, the Knight Errant of
Scientific Truth. Wonderfully handsome.
Very eloquent, the Incarnation of courage.
nd the greatest living master of the art
of expression, he drew to himself hearers
as the magnet gathers about Itself the
iron filings.
Everybody in those days believed in
Aristotle, The old Greek was considered
Infallible. To doubt him was to invite
the maledictions of all. As a sample of
!he absolute sway that was held by the
taglrlte over the minds of. the period we
have the following Incident: A bright
rounr natural philosopher, having dis
covered "spots" on the sun, communicated
BLACKHEADS CO QUICK
BY THIS SIMPLE METHOD
Blackheids-big ones or little ones soft
nes or hard ones on any part of the
body, go quick by a simple method that
lust dissolves them. To do this get about
two ounces of. powdered neroxln from
ironr druggist sprinkle a little on a hot.
Wet sponge rub over the blackheads
rUikly for a few seconds and wash off.
You'll wondur where the blackheads have
tone. The powdered neroxln and the hot
water have Just dissolved them. Finch
tig and squeeslng blackheads only opens
;lie pores of the skin and leave them
pen and unsightly end unless the black
leads are big and soft they will not come

.xln and water dissolve them right out,
waving the skin sett and the pores In

I you are troubled with these unsightly
Flemishes you should certainly try this

Bruno
the jfect to hla pastor. "My son," replied
the learned doctor, "I have read Arltsotle
many times, and I assure you there la
nothing of the kind mentioned by him.
Go rest in peace, and be certain that
the spots which you have seen are in
your eyes and not In the sun."
Bruno pitched Into the mighty Aristotle
as David did into Goliath and slew him.
"There Is a greater than Aristotle," he
declared, "and that great thing Is reason."
Bruno was the originator of the noble
motto, "Not Authority for Truth, but
Truth for Authority." It was Bruno who,
for the first time among the moderns,
said: 'That which Is indorsed by enlight
ened reason and the facts carries along
with Itself Its own authority, but no
amount of authority can make a lie to
be other than a lie."
With truth ' for his object at.d reason
and investigation as his guides, Bruno
flamed through Europe, announcing things
that human ears had never been called
upon to listen to before. He told men
that God was in the universe, not apart
from it, and that the universe was a
much bigger affair than they had been In
the habit of thinking it was.
The first to fully grasp the mighty
significance of the discoveries of Coper
nicus, he was the first also to nercelva
that those discoveries necessitated a new
theology, and a new philosophy of the
world and of man.
With commanding , eloquence Bruno
discoursed, with are ardor of one of the
old crusaders, of a universe that was
boundless. He divinised nature not by
degrading the Deity to the material, but
by lifting up the material to a participa
tion in the spiritual.
And so, anticipating Bacon, and De
scartes, and Newton, and La Tlace, and
Darwin, and Herbert Spencer. Bruno
passed from country to country', the
herald of the dawn, the pathfinder of
modern solentlfio and phllospohlo truth.
Of course, the position of a man of
Bruno's kidney, at that age of the world,
was like standing on dynamite. His life
was not safe for a day, or for an hour.
He was liable, at any moment, to be haled
before the tribunals to give an account of
himself.
The Inquisition got after Bruno and
cast him Into prison. He was a dangerous
character. He was making people think
a business that has always been un
popular with "those In authority."
The criminal was finally taken to Rome
and eubejeted to a mock trial. The dice
were loaded, and by the throw it was de
cided that the champion of reason ehould
die.
When Informed that the deoree ot
death had been voted against hlin he re
plied: "J suspect, yen! pronounce tbla
sentence with more fear thsn I receive
It."
It was on the 17th of February, 1600,
that the brightest man In- Europe was
publicly burned to death, in the fifty
third yeer of his age.
Hcioppius, one of the wise men who
heard Bruno sentenced in the hall of gv.
Maria 8opra Minerva, left this estimate
ot him: "A horrible mail. He taught
that there are Innumerable worlds; that
the world has existed from eternity; that
God is the soul of the world, and that
Moses composed his own laws."

Love at First Sight
By BEATRICE! FAIRFAX.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Numerous people write and ask me this
question, and each and every one shows
plainly that they hope I am going to
apeak words of approval for the sudden
feeling which they doubt even when they
cherish it
I do not believe in "love" st first sight.
In the charm that atracts at once, in the
magnetism that makes itself felt almost
before a word haa been spoken, in the al
lure that reaches across tides of lack of
knowledge and understanding, I do be
ieve. But that any of these or alt to
gether are stable things worthy of the
name of "love" I gravely doubt.
Love ought to be based on understand
ing, knowledge, congeniality and respect.
Unless it have a firm foundation it cannot
last.
There Is little durability or wearing
quality to a cobweb. Now the magnetto
quality that makes Itself felt as the at
traction called "Love at first sight" Is
no more than "a cobweb wet with morn
ing dew" and sparkling delightfully in the
early sunlight. When the sun's rays be
come warm and hard to endure, or when
the chill east winds blow, the misty cob
web become a dusty, lifeless thing or a
chill and sodden mass of gray.
Love at first alght is too often exactly
like that. It cannot endure the warmth
and friction of daily living or the chill
winds of adversity. It is a thing of
glamour and of mystery. Understood or
analysed or put to any test of living, it
fades away.
If a man la taking a business partner
or a woman is hiring a cook, do they
plupge in and take some one whose looks
they like, or who haa a pleasing way
of tilting their head? Not at alU Mister
Man makes sure of having as his partner
some.oD whose talents dovetail nicely
with his own, some one for whom he has
admiration and respect, some one with
whom he can endure the friction of dally
contact. And Madame Housekeeper will
have no one as her cook of whose capa
bilities and qualities she is not sure.
In buying a suit or a dress or a hat a
woman studies wearing qualities and suit
ability and becomlngness and sums it all
up by saying. "Can I afford that suit?
Will it serve well?"
When a man gets a lawn mower or a
new auto, he studies the 'workings of
that machine and dues not decide upon
it until he Is sure he knows all about it
and considers It a "good buy."
Isn't love as important as any of these
things?
Of course It is. And love Isu't worth
entertaining unless It la baaed on actual
knowledge and la sure of itself.
At first alght a given man feels more
attraction to one girl of a group than to
half a dosen others that would assay just
as many charms. Well and good and
natural enough. But he U not la love
with her. He Is ready to judge her faults
with a lenient mind and to find delight in
all her charms. He is la a receptive
mood for love. Put truly la love he can
not be.
Perhaps some lad's flashing blue eyes
and broad shoulders attract a certain
lassie the very first second she sees them.
She, too, is ready to feel the force of his
every god quality. Hut she should try to
Hudge him with somewhat ths same open-

mi ndednesa that she would show in her
judgment of any one of life's far lesser
interests.
The world is sadly full of people who do
not wear well. There are numberless
lavoble soamps, or likable vixens on earth.
Don't be fooled by them because they
exert on you when first you meet a cer
tain charm.
Love ought to be based on mutual
knowledge and respect. And these things
come aa time proves worthiness and con
geniality. If they are added to the first
attraction, which is generally merely a
snare of the senses, -they elevate it to a
worth while plane.
Don't yield to "love at first sight" unUl
you have Investigated It and proven that
it Is love and mere fleeting fssclnatlon
you entertain.

Easy Lesson

A savage is a man Who eats, every
day, all the food that he secures. Ths
savage sees only one reason for securing
food, and that Is, to eat It. When his
hunger Is satisfied
he oeases Industry.
When a man be
gins to store up for
future use. and to
supply others, he
becomes a capital
ist. All capital comes
from savings above
Immediate necessi
ties. These savings
of labor constitute
the weali.U of the
world. If men did
not produce more
than they con
sumed there would
be no civilisation.
Wealth is atored-up
labor.
The first organ
ization is in the family, where the chil
dren work to help their parents, and the
parents work to help each other and the
children.
The clan Is a combination of families
thst are Inter-related by marriage.
The tribe Is a collection of clans. There
Is always a tendency for tribes to split
up through personal animosities, jealous
ies or misunderstandings.
Near every communal or co-operative
concern is tho opposition known aa "the
dump," made up of come-outera. Every
big factory has little factories near, man
aged by former employes of the big con
cern. In the pure savage type each family
secures food for Itself. . The hunt and
the chase have the Incentive in hunger.
Man first lived In caves. To utilise
the skin of an animal for making a tent
or a house marked an evolution In In

In the hands of a gorilla la decidedly ef
fective. To attach a handle to the atone
by means of thongs, and thus make a
hammer, marks the beginning of the stone
age. To sharpen ths stone and make an
axe, and then a knife, an arrowhead or a
spearhead, probably required a good many
generations.
The corporation had Its rise In the fer
tile brain of Julius Caessr, and wss
founded on the Idea of the Tenth Legion,
that never died.
The soldiers In the Tenth Legion may
have been killed In battle; but Ins renks
closed and the column advanced over
their dead bodies.
That night, when the legion c suited,
new men were put in place of those who
were lost, and so, although Individuals
might die, yet the Tenth Legion lived on
forever.
The I tomans were builders and engi
neers. Caesar 'set aside a hundred men
to build an aqueduct. Knowing that It
would probably take longer than th
lifetime of these men to complete the
task, Caesar ordered that whenever one
of the hundred died the rest should elect
his successor, and thus, though the en

The word corporation simply means

Lord Coke of Kngland said that the

the greatest idea ever evolved by human

stock to any ons else, and when he died
It could descend to his oldest eon.
H was an essy step for men to put
money Into a stook company and receive
two shares Instead of one by paying twice
as much as ths rest did. Then we get
companies chartered by the crown, say
liko the East India company, and, be
