The Red Sea,

Here Is an interesting theory: What made the Red sea red? The blood of locusts. Read few lines from Ex. odus: And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and rested in all the coasts of Egypt; very grlevous were they. Before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened. And the Lord furned mighty strong west wind. which took the locusts and cast them into the Red sea. There remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt" The Red sea today Is no more red than any other sea. It's reckoning was tenn. porary New York Press.

Value of the Knngaroo's Tail.

So important Is the kangaroo's tail in his rapid progress that experienced hunters with guns are accustomed to fire at the point where this appendage jc,ns the body, when, the tail being dis. abled for its office of balancing, the animal is as elfectually stopped as If hamstrung. Hit elsewhere, except with q rifle bullet or at point blank range, the kangaroo is pretty likely to get of'.
 One peculiarity of the kangaroo Is that, after being started up, he very rarely swerves from his course, through which peculiarlty he is easily 'potted" by hunters, who conceal themselves while man on horseback drives the herd toward them.

EHe-t of Civilization.

The serious problem of the civiliza ton of the red man sometimes devel- ops an amusing side. Bobtall Coyote was sent to a government school from his reservation in the west clad in bucksllin and speaking only his mother tongue.
 He remained during the stipulated time, gradually becoming white man to all intents and purposes. But no greater transformation was manifest ed when he returned to his people than that of his name. which had evolved from the savage Bobtail Coyote to tha, which appeared on his neatly engraved visiting card.

Seeing With One Eve.

A great many, perhaps the majority, of otherwise well informed people be- fieve that they see the same with one eye as with both eyes. That this is not inc case one can easily convince him. self by the following simple experi- ment: Cover ono of the eyes with a hand or bandagc and let the expert menter attempt to snuff out q candle suddenly placed within a few feet of him. He will almost invariably miss the flame. either overrcaching, under reaching or putting the fingers too far to the right or left of the flame. Witb both eyes normal and open the accom- modation for distance and direction is Instantaneous.
