beginning the earth was n waste and
dwelt dragon alone Then God
came down from heaven, fought with
the dragon and vanqulshed it. From
the dragons blood, which was water,
the barren rock wilderness was made
fertile, and the spot where the strug-
gle between God and the dragon took
place became paradise. Thereafter God
created all things-sun. moon. stars,

they lived an untroubled existence

eat by Gods permission; of one tree
alone they might not taste. Often God
came down to see them. when he
climbed down a ladder from heaven.
But one day he was unable for a
long time to find them but finally
discovered them crouching among the
bushes. On being asked the mean

garded as a participant. John Hay
was regarded as not only the leading
diplomat Of the day, but the greatest
diplomat that ever occupied the Office
Of secretary Of state.
John Hay was born in Salem. Ind.
Oct. 8, 1888. He was the son Of DR..
Charles Hay. He was educated at
Warsaw and Springfield. III. He was
graduated at Brown University In
1858.
In 1861 he went from Springfield.

served In the civil war. He reached
the rank Of colonel and was at Lin

He then went to Europe and filed sub

Here is a problem for people with

but when galloping lifts both fore feet
together and then both hind feet. Now
the question is how other animals
manage this matter. The birds, OF
course, flap both wings together but
which birds run and which hop? We
human beings "trot'' when we walk,
and "gallOp" when we swim-that is,
II we are using the plain breast stroke
The dog, however, "trots' for both.
Now, do the amphibious animals-the
seals offers and the rest-swim like
men or like other four footed crea-
lures?
Then there are the fish. One would
rather expect that. as they move their
tails from side to side, they would
flap alternately with the fins. which
are their hands and feet. Who can tell
whether they do or not, and whether
all fish at all times follow one rule?
BY the way. how does frog use Its
"hands"?
The great anatomist, f. Ray Lankes-
ter, has lately pointed ont that while

in Washington was one Of the most
beautiful residences in the city. and
his library was filled with rare pic
lures and rarer books.
AS a literary man John Hay would
have won fame sufficient for the most
ambitious. His life Of Lincoln is an
able work and his poetry was OF
high order But as secretary of state
under Mckinley and then under Roose-
Welt. Mr.. Hay brought the diplomacy
of the United States into the first
