thirty or forty feet long. and has a
huge jaw that can take In at one
gulp horse or man. This horrid
reptile used TO be considered sacred
by the ancient Egyptians. Sometimes
the crocodile was tanned, ornamented
with gold rings and precious stones
set In It's ears and bracelets on its
feet. Il was then set up for the wor-
ship OF the people, who would feed 1t
with cake and baked meats and wines.
It seems strange, does 1t not. that any
one could worship such q frightful

cause the natives Of Africa held 1t In

There seemed to be one thing that

and other ancient writer's tell us, 1t
would hop in the cocodile's huge Jaw
when 1t was lying on the shore asleep
and feed with It's bill on the debris
within the terrible teeth. Herodatus
called this bird trochilus, and many
persons have tried to discover what
bird 1t really was. Some think 1t was
wagtail or sandpiper, while others
believe it to be kind OF plover, or the
slc-sac, or crocodile bird. Modern
students have found, however, that
here really are certain birds which
have this habit of going safely into
the crocodile's jaws.

Whirl the seasons round,

When the world was young;
Apples of Hesperides
In the orchards CLEAN.

Still to JOY my heart viii cling,
