An interesting curiosity Of the veg
stable world Is what is known AZ the
jumping bean. Very curious. indeed.
are these beans, which come original
IL from Mexico. They jump. move
about. and sometimes turn a somer-

placed under strong light or In

several months inside the bean. and
then. In the month Of May, emerges n

about this bean II that when Il falls

jumping away from the place as fast

One consequence Of the dog show
has been a boom In all things pertain

found obtrudlng themselves into pref
ty much everything that makes use OF
designs from papeterie TO posters. ST.

nights. but most noticeable for the
pas, few days have been the little side

siasm Ia there. Al other times. II the
small shows were there, passers-by
would be likely not TO give them a
second glance, and |, Is almost certain
that they would not stop and discuss
the dogs In the way they now do. The
air resounds with technical terms and
erudite expressions appertaining TO
dog lore. Whether anybody ever buys
one OF the animals that thus make a
bid for purchasing favor Is unknown
but there Is no getting away from the
amount OF attention they attract
among the dog-wise and would-he log.
