. Much time WAS consumed in consideration OF
the Fifty-frst street sewer. The contractors
find 80 much variation from the former en-

aible to work by them. At one place the cut

CrOcOdiles.

OF all wild animals, the crocodile
seems to he the most alarming and de-
structive. An Egyptian sportsman,
who supported himself and his family
by the produce of his gun, about six
years since, with three of his neighbors,
went to an island called Geizet-il-Arab
a favorite resort of crocodiles-to hunt
for their eggs.
AS they were going round the island,
three crocodiles escaped into the river.
On examining the spot, quantity of
eggs We're discovered in the sand. These
they secured, and were proceeding back
to their tent, when a crocodile who had
watched the transaction rushed to the
place of her deposit, and as rapidly re-
turned to the river, and swimming, fol-
lowed them opposite to their abode,
where until nightfall her eyes were seen
above the water.
The sportsmen feasted sumptuously
upon their spoil but as soon as the last
embers of their fire had died away, the
crocodile charged them furiously, re-
peating her attacks several times during
the night; and it was only by the fire.
quent discharge of their firearms that
they kept her off at all. The crocodile,
which had hitherto remained harmless,
now became furious, and attacked all
the cattle it could catch upon the river
side. Among the victims was fine
mare in a neighboring village, who, as
usual, was allowed to Craze i'll the coarse
abundant pasturage.
One day, whilst drinking, she was
seized in the back of the neck by the
jaws of the crocodile. The mare being
Il powerful animal, in an agony of pain,
threw up her head. The crocodile drop
ped upon her back, and with her strange
burden, the mare galloped off to her
stable. The astonished villagers imme-
diately set upon the crocodile with their
aaJOOt, or stout sticks, until she was in
duced to let go her hold and dismount /;
but the mare died from the joint effect
of its wounds and the fright.
During March, which is the breeding
season, the crocodiles deposit their eggs
in the sand on the banks, Or in prefer
ence, in small sand-banks or islands on
the stream. The eggs, which are white
and hard, in size resemble those of do
mestic goose. One found on the White
River measured exactly three inches
and half in length, and five inches and
thirteen-sixteenths in circumference.
The care and anxiety bestowed by
these ferocious creatures upon their eggs
is astonishing. When about to lay, the
female crocodile will dig with her claws
hole in the sand, six inches deep, drop
her egg therein, and cover it up. She
will then make several holes around the
first, to mislead those in search of her
treasure. Every day she will add a
fresh egg to her store, at the same time
carefully enlarging the excavation, turn
ing them, and recovering them with
sand. After they are hatched by the
suns rays, the mother will place her
young in the shallow water of a retired
creek, where she will nourish them
until they are capable of feeding them
selves,

4 Runaway Pond,

An East Hardwick (Vt.) letter to the
Portland Press revives the following
curious bit of local history
Long Pond, or, as it is better known,
Runaway Pond" is situated partly in
Glover and partly in Greensboro. This
pond was one and half miles long, and
half a mile wide, and formerly dis
charged its waters southerly into La
moille River. On the 9th day of June,
1910, about fifty persons went to this
pond for the purpose of opening an out
let to the north into Barton River, that
the mills on that stream might receive
an occasional supply of water A small
channel was excavated, and the water
commenced running in a northerly di-
rection. 1t happened that the northern
barrier of the pond consisted entirely of
quicksands, except an encrusting of clay
next to the water. The sand was i'm
mediately removed by the current, and a
large channel formed, and the crust of
clay was incapable of sustaining the
mass of water and broke, so that the
whole pond Immediately took a north
erly course, and in fifteen minutes time
the bottom of the pond was bare 1t
was discharged SO suddenly that the
country below was instantly inundated
The deluge advanced in we'll of waters
sixty or seventy feet high, and twenty
rods wide, leveling forests and hills, and
filling up valleys, sweeping off mills
houses and barns, fences and cattle as il
passed, for distance of ten miles, and

weigh one hundred tons, was removed
half mile from its bed. The waters
moved so rapidly that they reached
Lake Memphremagog, twenty-seven
miles distant, in about six hours from
the time they left the pond. The dry
bed of the pond remains, portion is {
cultivated field, and to-day there are
many stacks of hay there. For the last
forty years the stage road from Mont
peher to Barton has passed through this
DRY Pond" and many tourists visit il
as great curiosity.

4 Years Brain Work.

Over thirty-fve hundred new books
appeared in England last year, besides
thirteen hundred new editions-the ex-
act total of both classes being 1885
and the most notable circumstance in
the literary history of the twelvemonth
was the decrease in novels from 200 in
1870 to lj5 in 1871. Still, lest it might
be inferred that the English novelists
are falling into disfavor, the statisticians
are careful to add the explanation that
the number of new editions of romances
has largely increased during the year
which is a tribute to the older writers.
Works on Political Economy are rapidly
increasing in numbers-45 last wear
against 26 in 1870. Theological books
are in greater demand than formerly
nearly 500 having appeared last year.
Educational books are also in demand
nearly 700 having been published during
1871. The number of American impor-
tations into the English book-market
sensibly diminished last year-the fig
ures being 322 in 1871 against 426 in
1870.
Two countries in Europe present a
startling contrast-tho comparatively
III" lllC VI ItDIt-
sentcd in 1871 by no less than 1853
works, published in thirty-ono different
cities of the Empire, while Spain makes
a beggarly show, although her civiliza-
ton and her literature are four centuries
old. Spanish writer's produced 1lj new
plays last year, but other contributions
to the literature of the country are very
inferior to those of Russia, in number as
well as in quality. OF the books of the
year in Russia, according to Mr. Eugene
Schuyler, 1913 were on language, 1873 on
jurisprudence, lis were historical works,
and 2S2 were novels, poems and essays
The most remarkable feature of the Rus
sian book returns is the great progress
made by native writers in the produc-
ton of political works.
In regard to Germany, Robert Zim-
norman writes that it is significant in
dication of the present state of philoso.
ply that in place of philosophical sys-
TENS, biographies of philosophers and
their wives appear. Varnhagen's IRE
mains seem to be inexhaustible; four.

been published, new work follows un.
