FIND HOLINESS IN FOREST
Buddhist Seekers After High Knowl
edge Let Themselves Be Absorbed
In World of Nature.
The gods were believed to love the
high forests on the mounts Id *I«1»'A
sod there doubtless they were wor-
shiped, even us toduy; every traveiel
uiust be struck by the secluded beauty
of tfie ancient groves wherein. In tbs
fur East, the most fatuous temples are
reared. We may gather from a story
In the Upanlshads how Satyakama,
the cowherd, learned front his solitary
communing with the wilds some lu*
sons of the unity of mun with nature.
Ella Oaru, struck by the luminous gaze
of the lad. questioned him. "You
shine like one who knows God; who,
then, has taught you?" and was an-
swered with a radiant smile; Not
man."
Even In these early dnys the seeker
after knowledge withdrew Into the
forest or sought refuge In the moun-
tain fastnesses, and In Brahmanlc
times we are told that contemplation
was practiced "Id a place apart, ptne,
delightful by Its sounds, Its waters
and Its bowers, full of shelters and
caves.” By this means man might
himself he absorbed In the world of
nuture. and so In the divine.
Sakyamunl. the Buddha, trained in
the Brahmanlc school, adopted this
discipline of meditation in the pres-
ence of nature Into the practice of the
religion he founded. All the Impor-
tant recorded events of his life are
associated with the works of nature,
lie received the truth eternal under
the Bodlil tree and under It he entered
Nirvana: his favorite retreats were
the Deer forest, the Bamboo grove, the
Vulture peak, and he and Ills Imme-
diate followers accepted nothing from
convert rajahs of greater value than a
grove or a garden plot wherein to set
up their rustic shelters of leuves. To
them “the body Itself was but a hut
In the wilderness, a flimsy shelter
made by tying together the grasses
that grew around. When they fell
apart, they were again resolved Into
the original waste.” Their aim was to
become at heart a wild creature “tilled
with the forest sense of things," as
one of them sang, end united with
nature. This union, the Buddha
taught, both by precept and practice,
was to be obtained by meditation In
solitude.—Hamilton Bell Id Asln Mag-
azine.

Origin of Nautical Terms.
Whnt Is the origin of the nnutlenl
term “dead reckoning?” Perhaps the
general Impression Is that "the prefix
“dead" Is so common In technical
terms related to the ship and Its rig-
ging that It Is merely the mariner’s
way of expressing himself. There are
“dend-e.ves,” "dead-lights,” "dead-
wood,” "dend-door,” “dead-flat,” and a
host of others, and all savor more of
the ozone than of etymological neces-
sity. But there Is a peculiar Interest
In the origin of "dead reckoning,”
which has always been regarded ns
one of the most puzzling terms to
trace. The old-fashioned method of
keeping the ship’s log. before the ad-
miralty supplied specially printed
books, was to u?e small, loose sheets
of paper, ruled Into several columns.
The latitude column being too narrow
to admit the words “deduced latitude”
In full at the hend. the words were ab-
breviated to “Ded. Lat." “Ded,” easily
became corrupted Into "dead.” and
hence the singular phrftse for describ-
ing the mariner’s “deduced” position
on the high seas.—Christian Science

one cupful of the thick batter for the
next day’s cakes, add water and buck-
wheat flour to thleken and set away as
before. The batter that Is left Is
salted, and a half cupful of milk, sour
or sweet, added, then a little soda
dissolved In hot water which will
thin the cakes to the right consist-
ency. Never mix nny of this sofla

be used the following day. This may

Big Value in Tires for
The Smaller Cars
IIIIIIUIIIUIIIMIIIIUIH
>
Back of the manufacture of Goodyear Tires
for the smaller cars is the same purpose to
supply high value in the product that is behind
the manufacture of the Goodyear Tires that
equip the most expensive automobiles built.
This purpose is expressed by the enormous
resources, extraordinary skill and scrupulous
care applied to the manufacture of Goodyear
Tires in the largest tire factory in the world
devoted solely to the 30x3*, 30x3V2-, and
31 x 4-inch sizes.
The effect of this endeavor is noted in the
fact that last year more cars using these sizes
were factory-equipped with Goodyear Tires
than with any other kind.
It is also noted in the fact that if you own a
Ford, Chevrolet, Dort, Maxwell, or other car
requiring one of the sizes mentioned, you
can secure Goodyear-Tires and Goodyear
Heavy Tourist Tubes at the nearest Goodyear
Service Station.
