Jamaica CrOcodiles.

There are 4 good many crocodiles in
the more distant reserves Of Kingston
harbor and at the mouths of the ia
maica rivers, but they are exceedingly
wary, and Il most cautious approach is
necessary if one wishes to get close
enough fur an effective shot.
Just as the lion has his jackal and
the shark his pilot fish SO the crocodile
is almost always accompanied by n
small plover. which pcrches upon the
scaly ridge of its back and is just Wis
ible above the filthy water in which its
big patron loves to wallow.
On the approach of man or any other
danger this tiny bird flutters into the
air and utters n shrill cry to warn its
"chum."
The crocodile dives. and you may sit
in your canoe and nurse your rifle for
an hour without Il chance of shot.
The Jamaican crocodile is shyer of
man than most of its kind.-Chicago

Dealers in wild animals get most of
their lions from Nubia. There the ma
t;vcS search for IL loncsS with newborn
cubs, kill the mother and bring up the
young beasts on goats milk. When
they are two months old they are taken
TO the coast on the backs Of camels and
shipped to Europe. Lions are also OBJ
taiued from AhySSinia and Senegal.
Formerly the Atlas mountains furnish
cd the finest lions but the species now
no longer exists except Il few spect-
mems III iu2nagrrics. Adult Nubian
lions arc worth 81 900 apiece, while
Senegal lions range III price from $500

Tiger; airy in price from 1919 to ST.
800 apiece and more, according to the
variety and rarity of the animal. ST.
berian tigers. for instance. sell at the
latter figure. They are large, beauti-
fuiiy striped creatures. In the winter
they grow: 4 long, woolly winter coat.
Some full grown tigers are captured In
animals are caught while small cubs
and raised on milk.
The hippopotamus, the rhinoceros
and the giraffe are difficult to secure.
1t is practically impossible to capture
Il full grown beast of these species, and
the Young ones are hard to rear. 4
baby hippopotamus will drink thirty
pints of milk day and baby rhi-
noceros almost as much. Thus it re-
quircs the presence of Il large herd of
goats in the wilderness to supply milk
for such creatures. y hippopotamus IS
worth from $500 to $1,000, rhiEoc-
eros slightly more, while giraffes sell at
$500 or more, according to size, age
and condition.

Wind and Temperature.

The wind does not affect the Their
mometer, as any one may find out for
himself by simple test. Take two
dry bulb thermometers of exactly the
same kind and hang one of them where
it will be exposed to the wind and the
other where it will be sheltered-Say,
on two sides of the corner of the house
and after allowing them TO hang
thus for II few minutes you will find
that they register the same. And yet
the person who stands near the Their
mometer that hangs in the wind will
feel the cold more sensibly than the
person who stands near the sheltered
one.
The wind is simply air in motion,
and air in motion is no colder than the
same air In n state of rest. We feel
colder in the wind simply because its
blowing over us takes the heat away
from the body by causing Il more rap
id evaporation from the skin. There is
no evaporation from the dry bulb of Il
thermometer, and therefore the wind
does not affect it.

TIE TOBACCO PLANT.

TIE TOBACCO PLANT.
Its Origin, According to Quaint
Legend of the East.
The prophet was taking stroll in
the country when he saw IL serpent,
stiff with cold. lying on the ground.
He compaSsiunatrly took if up and
warmed it in his bosom. When the
serpent had recovered it said:
"Divine prophet, listen. am now
going to bite thee"
"Why, pray" inquired Mohammed.
Because thy race makes perpetual
war on mine" said the serpent.
but thy race. too, makes perpetual
war against mine" was the prophets
rejoindcr. How canst thou, besides,
be so unSrateful and So soon forget
that saved thy lifr!"
There is no such thing as gratitude
upon this earth" replied the serpent,
and if | We're now to spare thee
either thou or another of thy race
would kill me. BY Allah, | shall bite
thee"'
IF thou hast sworn by Allah will
not cause thee to break thy VOW" said
the prophet, holding his hand to the
serpent's mouth. The serpent bit him,
but he sucked the wound with his lips
and Spat the venom on the ground.
And on that very spot there sprung up
a plant which combines within itself
the venom of the serpent and the COM
passion of the prophet. Men call this
plant by the name of tobacco.-"To-
bacco In Song and Story"

Suddenly Wagner, who was sixty
