Strength Of Crocodile's Jaws.

FROM the Chicago Daily News
Sir Samuel Baker in his book on wild
beasts says that the power Of the Jaws of
the crocodile is terrific.
once he had the metal of large hook
the thickness of ordinary telegraph wire
completely bent together. the barbed point
being pressed tightly against the shank
and rendered useless. This compression
was caused by the snap of the crocodile's
Jaws when seizing live duck which he
mad used as bait, the hook being fastened
beneath the wing. On another occasion
tle. ne found a fish weighing seventy pounds
bitten clean through as if divided by a
knife. This again was the work of the
swapping jaws of a crocodile.
A Frenchman, Paul Bert, once made ex-
periments on the strength of a crocodile's 8
jaws by means of a dynamometer He
found that crocodile weighing 12O pounds
exerted a force of 3OS pounds In closing
his jaws. The lion has an enormous Jaw
power. An African traveller once pushed
the butt end of his gun into a lions mouth
and the pressure of the jaws cracked 1t as
though 1t had been struck by a steam ham
mer.

Sheepdog Trials.
ON Country Life In America

From Country Life In America
Sheepdog trials are becoming popular in
canada. and there is some call for them in
the neighborhood OF New York But the
east can hardly be called sheep country,
and where there are no sheep there can be
little use for working sheepdogs Sheepdog
trials are looked upon as a sort of national
pastime or game In Wales and Australia
and to watch the dogs work Is to recognize
the marvellous intelligence of these aids to
shepherds
The great Toronto show or fair Is now
the gathering place Of the sheepdog owners.
and the entertainments that their dogs have
gwen have been greatly applauded Mai
~ g. M: carnochan is the chief supporter OF
nave given very good exhibitions.
The uses of these competitions are mani
rold. They point to the dog as a utility
animal for man. and of what service he is
particularly to the shepherd. In the great
paddocks of Australia and on the noun
tains of Wales and Scotland one dog can
DO the work of a hundred men; he is an in
dispensable animal: Again, these trials give
to townfolk an inkling as to the intelligence
OF dog, and 1t is to be hoped they will
treat him accordingly.

Labor of Ants.
5 Magazine.

From uarper's Magazine.
It would perhaps be pushing metaphors
10. an unwarranted extreme to speak OF
dignity Of labor in connection with the
occupations Of ants. But If by the phrase
We mean that labor is the honorable lot
of all citizens, and that all labors OF what
ever sort are upon the same level of
spectability. then we might venture TO ap-
ply the saying even to the labors Of an
ant-hill. For therein all are workers, from
the newly fedged callow to the veteran OF
a second summer.

Methods Of Reporting.
From the Illustrated London News.

From the Illustrated London News
In short, the three possible methods are.
first. to leave the mans speech alone: sec
ond. to report what he says or some COM
plete part Of what he says: and third to
report what he means. But the present
way of reporting speeches is something ut
terly different from both these ways, and
quite useless and misleading.
