NOW HE IS A WISER DOG.

There was a dog, I knew him well.
lively dog was he;
His tail was brown, his body black,
AS black as black could be.
He saw a cat. a pink-eyed cat,
A cat with sharp toenails.
And grayish back, and spotted legs,
And whitest OF white tails.
He gave 4 bark, a nimble jump
And, like a streak OF blue.
Shot through the air. as at that cat
The wrathful doggie few.
The cat IL spat, its back went up.
ShrilI rang its piercing walls,
The fur II few, the dog he howied,
And deep the sharp toenails
Plowed through the hide and tore tn
nose,
And scratched the canine's eye.
Till with a howl the dog turned round,
And back again did fly.
And now he is q wiser dog.
And cats he does eschew;
He'll never try again, think,
A pussycat to chew.

MOST BRILLIANT OF FIREFLIES

TAvE you ever heard of the
II cucujo? If you are one of those
Unfortunates who writhe under
the imposition of inordinate gas bills
you will wish that the place were
swarming with cucuioes. so that the
tyrannicaI gas companies might be cir
cumvented- 1t is the frefy OF the
tropics. and It is the most brilliant of
the whole tribe OF light giving insects
or animals. Thirty-eight of them yield
one candle power.
Photographs have been printed by
two-minute exposure of bromide plates
to their illumination. People in Cuba
confne them in paper lanterns for going
about the country at night or for indoor
lighting. Sometimes they attach one
of the insects to each foot for travelling
in the dark to serve as a guide to the
path. Also. they use them as ornaments
for the dress and hair.
1t is with these fire1ies that Prof.
Langley conducted his experiments.
They are beetles. beginning life as
grubs. Skipjacks. or springtails, they
are sometimes called. because when
placed on their backs they jump over
with a clicking sound. A small species
of the same family is found in Florida
and Texas. They have two luminous
spots on the thorax and another on the
abdomen. Damp evenings are most ia
vopable to the light giving. the object OF

And then they swished and swashed

Until they'd drenched her through;
Then ran straight down her plump right

And filled up her right shoe.
And then they ran across and in

peevishly about his bed for an
hour or two, like a fretful little
prisoner The night was so warm he
could not sleep. Il feel so wretched. -
he said Il must have air." and so he
arose and opened the easement and crept
noiselessly upon the balcony The cool
night wind came and kissed his heated
brow and played through his curls He
oreathed deeply a few times and sighed.

sit here while and look at the heavens
Perhaps l may see witch go sailing

today that witches do exist"

harsh old voice. Freddie was startled
He looked about him, but could see no
one.
My thoughts are being read by some
ore" he muttered. Just then he heard
a rustling noise, and raising his eyes he
bebeld an old witch, astride a broom
peering at him with a foreboding grim
ace. At first glance Freddie became
frightened. But there was something
calming about her old face, ugly as it
was, and so his fear went away.
Would you like a ride to Mars?"
said the witch. laying her thin, bony
fingers on Freddie's silken hair. Indeed
