great speck1ed cousin is, and always
has been, the most ferocious of dog
murderers, and the cat must pay for it.
Authorities agree that there is no
animal that the leopard would rather
eat than the dog; as a result, there are
many villages in the districts III which
leopards are plentiful where nobody
can keep a dog. The great cats will
not hesitate to break into the houses
to seize their favorite dish.
But, says the doubter, the modern
dog certainly could not have known
leopards in many thousands of years.
He has been domestic pet in regions
where there have been no leopards
since man first appeared.
That is true, says DR.. Zell But he
points to the fact that dogs have a
habit of turning around several times
before they lie down This, he says,
is due to the fact that when they were
in a wild state they had to do this to
press down leaves and twigs in order
to prepare bed for themselves; and
as they have not overcome this habit
in all their years of domesticity, it is
quite natural that they should still
inherit fierce hatred of any creature
that smells like leopard.
Dogs and cats are not the only ami
mails that still show inherited fear or
hatred of other beasts which they
have never seen themselves. Thus the
rhinoceros is frantically in lear of
anything white, and naturalists say
that this is because once upon time
some big white animal hunted him.
But that must have been long ago, for
there are no big white animals now
where the rhinoceros dwells.
Chickens that have never seen a fox
will cackle and run in fear if they
come across the place where the am
NAL has passed or where his carcass
has been dragged. If a fox has beer
anywhere near cats drinking dish
the cat will not approach it.

Peter didn't like. So he answered
sulllily.
Come, comet" said the stranger.
Let us be friends We both have far
to go and we won't be any the more
uncomfortable if we furnish little
company for each other"
Peter, who had already repented of
his sulkiness, could not we'll refuse.
And soon he was intensely interested
IN his companions conversation, for
the stranger had seen everything He
could tell of the Rocky Mountains and
the Himalayas and the South Seas
and the ice. So when he proposed
to Peter that they should see the
world together, Peter assented
eagerly.
They iourneyed by railroad and ship
for many months. They saw great
cities and placid islands, wide plains
and defiant mountains But most of
all they saw cities, for the stranger
seemed to care for nothing else so
much as to dive into crowded streets.
Peter, on the contrary, preferred
the islands and the mountains. One
night, when they were in the hotel
together, he told his companion so.
The great cities are beautiful and
wonderful" said Peter, but it grieves
me to see the poor who are crowded
in them, behind all the spiendor."
Il will tell you what is the matter
with you, Peter said the stranger.
You are too soft-hearted You waste
money every day on beggars and
others. You are too soft-hearted,
Peter, and unless you cure yourself
you will never be able to buy any of
the beautiful things that we have
SEEN"
81 wonder if am really too soft
hearted" thought Peter What would
he think if he knew that they actually
call me 'Soft-hearted Peter at homer"
Day after day the stranger showed
Peter more beautiful things and made
him long for them And whenever he
observed that Peter felt the least bit
unhappy because he couldn't get them,
he would tell him again that he was
too soft-hearted.
So at last Peter believed it. And
one night he asked his companion how
he could cure himself
Nothing easier than that" said his
companion. Tomorrow will take
you to place where it can be done
The next day they jumped into a
train and went far into the hills until
Peter began to recognize the country
and saw that they were going toward
home. His. soft heart leaped in his
breast and the tears of JOY came to his
eyes.
1--WE will soon cure all that, Peter"
said his companion, tapping him on the
breast. And his eyes shone strangely
like cats.
Not far from Peters home they
alighted from the train, and Peter 5
companion led him up the mountain
side till they reached the black mouth
of great shaft that seemed to bore
straight down into the earth,

your breast and lock it around the
absurd soft heart to prevent it from
making fool of you.
The next instant, before Peter could
utter a cry, his companion grew ire
mendously in height, till his head
reached the crystal-studded ceiling.
With one immense hand, as big as a
steamship. he seized the trembling
Peter and with the other, prestoi he
pressed the iron heart to his breast.
Immediately Peter felt strangely cold
and Indifferent. He put his hand to
his heart and found that there was
none of the tumultuous beating that
he used to feel. With a suspicion that
was quite new to him, he said:
And what do you expect from me
i'll exchange"
TN exchange cried the giant, with
a roar OF laughter that seemed to
make the mountain trefnble, my dear
Peter, I want nothing in exchange.
Don't you know me yet? ] am Mann
mon, the Master of the Underworld.

forth with an iron heart, for now you
will do my work"

that the rocky sides of the shaft, with
the. water streaming from them,
seemed to be d3rting upwards past
them.
Suddenly the darkness gave way to
dazzling light and the bucket stopped
Peter stepped out and found himself
in huge vaulted chamber, all hung
with glittering white crystals.
Now said the travelling compan-
ion, I'VE are at my home, and in a few
moments you shall be cured of your
soft heart"
He stepped to niche III the rocks
and returned with a finely polished,
perfectly formed heart made of iron.
This" said he, is the kind of heart
to wear / have one myself, and |
have given it to many of the people
whose wealth you admired SO much.
They arc all much better off since
they made the exchange"
But how could you put it into my
breast?" asked Peter, half frightened
and half interested.
Simple enough" was the reply

hollow | will simply press it into

Are Moon Craters Coral?

Everybody who has seen a chart Of
the moon as drawn by astronomers
knows of the curious, irregular, rag
ged rings which have been called
moon craters' for many years.
Now astronomers have raised the
question whether or not they really
are the craters OF extinct volcanoes,
as has been supposed for so long.
One of them asks:
"How would the ocean bottoms OF
the earth appear to man in the moon
if all our seas were to disappear"
Exactly as the moon craters lock
to us" is the answer.
SO now some of the astronomers
are interested in the attempts to prove
that the moons curious surface is not
at all volcanic. and that the 'craters
are nothing more or less than coral
reefs and the remains of other coral
like structures which have been left
high and dry by the evaporation OF
lunar oceans.

his wings high in the air, dropped his

The country, which had been smiling
and lovely as a garden in his fathers
time, became a barren waste, filled
with smoking engines and derricks
and railroad tracks, for Peter had
found coal and iron on his land and
was growing richer every day.
He felt no regret for the destruction
that he was causing i'll the scenes OF
hisyouth. The iron heart in his breast
took care of that
Richer and richer grew Peter, till
the papers printed pictures of him and
told how many thousands of dollars
went into his pockets with every
breath that he drew They told, too,
about his steam yacht and his horses
and his palaces. They told about his
wonderful entertainm ents and his lux
ur1es, his paintings and his books
in word, they told about everything
that he had. The only thing that they
did not tell about were his friends.
There was very simple reason for
that. He had none. Long ago the iron
heart had made him weary of the
sight of all those whom he had known
and loved when he was foolish Soft
hearted Reter.
So Peter Stark walked among all
his wealth and sp1endor alone-alone
except for his iron heart. This 1oneli-
ness led him at last to seek wife.
and his choice fell on girl whom he
had known when he was boy Peter
had loved her then with all his young
heart, but now he saw her beauty only
as he saw the beauty of other things
that he purchased
He asked her to marry him, and she
looked at him with sad eyes and re-
piled: mo, Peter, | cannot marry
you. [ loved you when you were the
old 'Soft-hearted Peter but not now y
That night Peter could not sleep.
Since he had received his iron heart
there had been nothing that he wanted
that he did not obtain So he felt
angry and miserable by turns at being
refused by her.
The next day he felt still more
angry and miserable. And at last,
when all his arguments failed to move
her, he knew that he would never be
satisfied with life if he did not win
her
Then he remembered what his
father had said about the wooded
ridge. He had kept his promise inn
plicitly about preserving the place,
and it still stood, beautiful and serene
and undisturbed, although it was sur
rounded by scores of mine shafts and
derricks and fiery towns So he went
there one calm morning and sat down
by the side of the torrent, where he
used to sit with his father when he
was boy
Birds hoped and sang among the
tree branches overhead, and fish
splashed in silvery bubbles in the
pools formed by the shining cascade.
Peter began to think of the old days
something he had not thought of
since he had received the iron heart.
He remembered his fathers calm.
kindly face, and recalled how the old
man used to sit by the torrent and
speak of his plans. He thought of the
childhood friends whom he used to
know, and whom he had not looked at
in years. He could remember clearly
how his heart used to beat when he
saw those whom he loved.

~ ME-, Ill lndl part OF GennSyi-
vania that now is bare and
~ dusty, with sooty smoke ris-
ing out of tall chinneys from
skyline to skyline, there was rich
farm of many acres owned by old
Peter Stark.
Old Peter was sf3rewd business
man and he accumulated comfort
able fortune. He always sold his
crops to better advantage than did his
neighbors, and his possession of am
pie cash enabled him to buy more and
more land at favorable times.
Yet with all his shrewdness and sue
cess Peter Stark never turned an un-
seeing eye or a deaf ear to any one
in need. His purse and his house were
always open, so much so that
throughout that part of Pennsylvania
he was known as "Soft-hearted Peter"
and when people spoke of him he was
called by that name much more often
than by his real name.
He lived to be very old man. One
day he called his only son and said to
him:
L shall die soon, and everything
that | possess will be left to you.
There will be no conditions, except
one. | foresee great changes in the
land. In years to come you may
wish to sell all this that is ours now.
Do so if you will But promise that,
whatever may come, you will never
sell the ridge at the north, suffer the
trees there to be harmed or destroy
the torrent that now feeds the brooks
running into the valley. And if trouble
comes to you at last, as it must come
to all of lis, promise me that you will
climb to the ridge and spend whole
day among the trees alone"
Young Peter promised, and soon
afterward old Peter died His son
found that he had inherited not only
his lands and wealth, but also his
title. As the people had called his
father, SO they called hiin-"Soft-
hearted Peter"
For some years young Peter lived
on the farm, happy as any king; his
fathers blessing seemed to lie on all
his undertakings, and men loved him
as they had loved old Peter.

travelling to see the world. All the
neighbors assembled to bid him fare
well, and when he looked out of the
car window and saw men and women
and children waving their hats and
handkerchiefs the tears started to his
eyes and he felt an impulse to jump
off and remain among them But just
then he noticed that a passenger op-
posite was looking at him with a
smile, so he settled back in his seat
ashamed for having shown his feel
ings so plainly.
Before long the stranger looked al

MAJ cat? Scientists have been
Wv investigating the ennlity
between these animals, and
they believe that the instructive hatred
which certain beasts feel of each other
is due to Inheritance from ancient
times, when the animals met in a wild
state and preyed on each other.
The enmity between cats and dogs
seems to be due more to hatred on the
part of the dog than, OF the cat. The
latter animal apparently hates dogs
because dogs chase her; while the dog
hates the cat because she is cat.
A cat will feed at a place where a
dog has been without betraying any
signs of anger; but a dog generally be-
comes excited and wild if he scents
the trail of cat anywhere near his
food or sleeping place.
Now this enmity is not to be ex-
planned by anything that happens be-
tween dogs and cats iii domesticity
or anything that ever happened be
tween them as long ago as human his
tory goes. In all these thousands Of
years dogs and cats have been kept
as pets, and of all animals they are
the two which should be the most
friendly
But the reverse is the case. One
naturalist, DR.. Zell, seeks it in the fact
that the common cat not only looks
like, but smells like, the great cats
of prey. And of those cats of prey
there is one, much like domestic cal

London, April 19.-The widespread

mons.
Austin Chamberlain in his speech
admitted that the industries OF Great
Britain, especially the cotton industry,
were depressed and foreign competi-
ytion was keener than ever. The mar
kets in which Great Britain had here
tofore been supreme were increasingly
threatened. he said. and the commercial
depression In the United Kingdom was
aggravated by the conditions In South
Africa. The net total deficit for the

ard the revenue, on the basis Of exist
ing taxation, at $685., 800. 900, leaving a
deficit of SIS, 100, 900 to be made up. He
proposed, therefore. to increase the in
come tax by 2 cents. He also proposed
all additional tax of cents per pound
on tea.
The Chancellor further proposed a
readjustment OF the tobacco tax, impos-
ing duty OF 81 cents on tobacco
stripped before imported. also an addi-
tional duty of ~ cents on cigars and
an additional 75 cents on foreign Gig
arettes.
Mr.. Chamberlain proposed also to
raise the moisture limit to 32 per cent,
and introduced three or four different
rates In the drawbacks, which he hoped
would increase Great Britain's tobac-
co export trade, especially to the col
onies. The net gain by these tobacco
changes was estimated at S2,75O,0OO.
