"Crocodile Tears.n

The phrase crocodile tears" owes its origin to the imagination of some of the old travellers, who invented the fable that the crocodile weeps over its prey. One of the earliest English globe trotters to mention this fiction was Sir John Vaudeville, who in his Travels" (1490). speaking of "lEthiop," "Ynde" and an ''Yle clept Silla," says:
 That Lond is full of Serpents and of Cokadrilles. These Cokadrilles ben a manner of Long Serpente, zalowe and rayed aboven, and had four Feete and schorte Thyes and grete Nayles as Clees or Talonns. and there ben sume that had five Fadme in length and sume of six and halfendal. And in the nyght thef dwellen in the Water and on the Day won upon the Lond. Theise Serpentes slue men. and thei eten hem weypnge. and when thei eten thei moven the over lowe and noughte the neither lowe, and thei have no tonge."-St. Louis Republic.

BALANCE IN THE AIR.
The Necessity For Equilibrium In Bird
 FIiuht,

Flight.
 It Is likely that the birds superb ease and grace in the air are due to it's ability to maintain absolute balahce. If gull makes the mistake of bend ing until the wind strikes its head and wings on the top it will tumble instantly. And the sailing birds, though they make no Tapping motion of their wings. are constantly balanc- ing themselves, like a man on tight rope. Some scientists have maintained that the air sacs make 1t possible for the bird to manage minute changes that are very valuable in restoring equilibrium. It is known that the wing is joined to the body of the bird by what is called universal joint, enabling the creature to make almost every possible motion. The body of man is heavier than water but if he gets into position of perfect balance he will float In some such way, 1t is claimed, the bird floats in the air But as the bird would fall much more rap idly in the air than a mans body would sink in water the necessity for a far more subtle ability to keep the center of gravity on the part of the bird is apparent; hence, according ts this theory, the bird is provided for this purpose with the most sensitive equipment, made up of nerves and mysterious air ducts, many of the wing feathers perhaps acting as sentinels, warning instantly of the slightest ap- proach of shifting currents.-Every- body's Magazine
