A Texan showed me an interesting trick on the table. He took six wooden
toothpicks, bent then sharply in the middle, and laid them down in the form
shown in " A."
"Now," he says, "when our people got
possession of Texas, it was nothing but a wilderness of cactus spines. See them
there!
Then they began irrigating (Here he put a spoonful of water in the center of the
spines). And then a change set in and kept on until they turned
into the Lone Star State."
As we watched, the water caused the toothpicks
to straighten out until they made a pattern of a star as in "B" (From Book
of Woodcraft).
