TRICKS OF ANIMALS.
Instances OF Where Deceit Takes the
Place Of Courage.

AANSC W SOuEhtscs
There are surprising number of
Quaker Gnimals-aninlals whose regu.
lar method OF self protection Is to offer
NO resistance to their enemies.
The pOssum's trick Of ..sllamming
dead" is M old story. A writer in tho
london Spectator cites several other
cases Of combined cunning and meek
ness. The hedgehog, the porcupine,
the Australian eclllnns and some of
the arInadillos refuse to fight, but they
are protected by sharp spires OF mr.
NOR. Some OF the armudillus are great
iiggers and take refuge In holes, while
porcuplnes often hide In hollow logs or
trees.

Led by Girl, Who Was Athlete Durlno
Day and Burglar at Niuht

Day and Burglar at Niuht,
The police here believe they have
locked up I'm the Ocean county iaiy n
girl thief who has been operating for
three years on lines exactly similar TO
those OF the young burglar heroine of
recent popular novel.
In her trunk was found n COMPLETE
bellboy's outfit, her brown hair show
ed signs of having been worn short
up to within the last few months. and
when she was caught she was climbing
III at n second-story window mt 4
o'clock in the morning
The girl has, moreover, faciIe skill
Tor explaining away the most difficult
ana embarrassing situations. She is
young, pretty and bewitching of man
ner and cherlshes hopes of going upon
the stage. She has courage and -dar-
ing, spirit and piquancy--and for dash
ana originality might have stepped out
Oh me pages of the very book itself.
The one point of difference. how
ever, seems to be that the real girl
has apparently led n double life. II
appears that while she was pursuing
the picturesque career of the Young
burglar heroine. she was known nil
along the Jersey coast-at Long
Branch, at Ashbury Park, at Atlantic
City-as Edna Williams, the champion
long-distance swimmer at Lakewood

champion girl horseback rider, and on
the Shrewsbury and the Toms rivers
as champion handler of the sails
and oars. She can swim a mile out
to sea without firing, can manage the
worst horse that ever threw rider.
and sail any boat that was ever navi-
gated.
Her parents are quiet. respectable,
well-t0-do people, who have lived In
Long Branch for years. Edna herself
was born there and was well educated
In the public schools. About three
years ago, however, she broke away
from the restrictions of home and
went off TO make her own way in the
world 1t was then, the police say,
that she began to practice the pro.
fession Of girl thief.
The charge against the girl Is the
robbery of Mrs. Elmer DowcII. Of No.

Compressed air Is used for blowing

Sufficient molten glass is poured up
