Sir Samuel Baker in his "Wild
Beasts says that the power Of the
Jaws Of the crocodile Is terrific. Once
he had the metal Of large hook. the

completely bent together. the barbed
point being pressed tightly against the
shank and rendered useless. This CON-
preston was caused by the snap of the
Jaws when selling a live duck which
he had used rs bait, the hook being
fastened beneath one wing. On one
occasion he found a fish weighing sew
enty pounds bitten clean through as II
divided by a knife. This. again. was
the work Of a snap from the jaws Of a
crocodile. NJ. Paul Bert once made
experiments on the strength of croc-
odile's jaws by means Of a dynamome-
ter. He found that a crocodile weigh
ing 12O pounds exerted a force Of S06
pounds In closing his jaw. The lion
has an enormous jaw power. On one
occasion IN African traveller pushed
the butt end of his gun into lions

Calalith II So Strong You Could Bald
. House with II.
You could build a house Of milk II
you liked, and it would be as strong
and lasting rs though made of Aber-
deem granite, says NJ. Glen Fling in
Technical World Magazine. Moreover,
all the fittings could be made Of the
same substance, and they would out
live the finest ordinary material that
was ever constructed.
Billiard tables, combs, fancy boxes
and many other things are made from
galalith, which Is made from milk.
There is really no limit to the artl-
cles which can be made from galalith.
1t takes dyes readily, and inferior
grades are colOred. The best remain
white. however, for white galalith
brings the highest price because Of its
similarity to ivory. The first grade Of
galallth Is made up into knife handles,
and 1t brings almost as high a figure
as would SO much ivory.
Calalith Is the best substitute for
ivory ever discovered, for 1t Is smooth
to the touch, retains Its soft, creamy
tinting for years. Is not marred by soap
and water and, unlike cellu10id. is
proof against fire. 1t does not chip or
crack like bone and can be cut into the
most delicate shapes, being tough and
not easily broken.

People who are able to SOW wheat and
who fail to do 1t, will stand in their

The farmers throughout the county
are putting in their full time gathering
their crops and are giving but little
attention to anything else just now
AS a rule they do not appear even to
be worried about the market.

Referring to the coming Of State
Secretary Earle, of the Farmers un-

respondent of the State says that "a
local union was organized with large
membership" The Enquirer has not
been able to get any information about
any local union having been organized
on that occasion.
The local Farmers unions organized
throughout the county recently by
State Organizer Chandler, seem to be
growing rapidly and additional unions
are being organized every few days.

While from such information as the
reporter has been able to gather, the
exhibition flowers. especially chrysan-
themums are not promising to come
up to the standard of some former
years, still there are good many
chrysanthemums in nice training for
the occasion and the exhibit will be a
creditable one
In connection with the show. or
rather at its close, the ladies have ar
ranged to give an interesting little en-
tertainment that will include some en-
joyable music and the presentation of

Goose series.
