AS George battered along through
the snow he told his grandfather about
the miniature sleigh and the eight tiny
reindeer Of his story book.

grandfather asked. with a sudden in
spiration.
"Oh, no." George answered. You
can't see them unless you stay awake

In the town where they lived was a
beautiful natural history museum I'm
which all sorts Of birds. beasts. insects
and reptiles were carefully preserved In
glass cases. The staff OF the museum
had so skillfully done its work that
the aspects of life seemed to cling to
the specimens. 1t was at the door OF
the museum that George and his grand
father stopped. They took the elevator
to an upper floor. and after grandfather
had spoken to an attendant a hand
some little old man came out and shook
hands with them.
''Glad to see you, Mr.. Deane. So this
is your grandson. Glad to make your
acquaintance. Master Sutton. Now.

George took the attendants hand.
He was not a very prepossessing young
man and did not seem especially pleas
ed with his mission. AS they passed
the various animals in their cases he
mumbled of a number OF facts con-
corning them. When they reached the
reindeer case, he said:
Now. if you'll just sit down on this
bench you may look at the reindeer
for a few minutes. I have an errand
which 1 must attend to. Stay right
here until come back"

Two hundred and forty pounds can

Nnture,. Timepiece..

Every baby born brings its own
watch, barometer and many other lit
tie appliances into the world with it.
One can measure time in the absence
of a watch by the beating OF the heart.
In most adults the heart beats about
seventy times per minute. When boil
ing an egg, infusing tea, watching
a hundred yards race. all one has TO
do is to put a finger on the pulse 70
provide a first rate stop watch. But
the pulse is not the same in all people.
1t beats as slowly as sixty to the min
ute in some and as fast as seventy-five
in others. It would therefore be neces-
sary to know at what rate the pulse
usually beats.
Another way of measuring time with
tolerable accuracy is by the breathing.
Most people breathe fifteen times per
minute. or once every four seconds. so
that in boiling an egg for three min
utes one would count forty-ivs breaths.

beast has a hard time in our arctic
summer. when the mosquitoes and 9TH
er insects torture 1t numerically.
There is a small fly that burrows under
his skin and causes him excruciating
torture. In the summer the Laplanders
are compelled to drive their herds from
the woods to the hills in order to es-
cape these pests. You know that the
people who dwell in Lapland count
their wealth by the number OF reindeer
