SOME BIG BITES.
They Show the Power Of the Jaws of
the Crocodile.

the Crocodile.
The power Of the jaws Of the crocO-
dile is terrific, says Sir Samuel Baker
i'm his book on wild beasts.
Once, he continues, he had the metal
Of large hook the thickness Of ordina-
ry telegraph wire completely bent to-
gether, the barbed point being pressed
tightly against the shank and rendered
useless. This compression was caused
by the snap of the jaws when selling
n live duck which he had used as Il
bait, the hook being fastened beneath
one wing. ON one occasion he found
fish weighing seventy pounds bitten
clean through as If divided by Il knife.
This, again, was the work of the snap
OF the jaws OF a crocodile.
A Frcnchman, NJ. Paul Bert, once
made experiments on the strength of
crocodilc's jaws by means of II dyna-
mometcr. lie found that crocodile
weighing 100 pounds eXertcd force Of
30S pounds in closing his jaws The
lion has an enormous jaw power. On
one occasion an African traveller push
cd the butt end of his gun into n lions
mouth. md the pressure Of the jaws
cracked IL ms though lt had been struck
by a steam hammer.

Progress in the sense Of acquisition

OF being is a great deal more. To grow
higher. deeper, wider as the years go
on, to conquer difficulties and to ac-

ones faculties unfolding and truth

life worth living. - James Freeman

Food AduIteration Passing Away.

DR.. Wiley. the able head of the Bu-
reau of Chemistry of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington. de-
clarcs that since the pure food law
went into effect many of the worst Of
tenders against it's provisions have re-
formed and that these products
throughout the country are now upon a
better basis than ever before. with
conditions constantly improving. This
announcement will be good news to the
American people. 1t also shows that
the manufacturers of food products
had no need to resort to dishonOrable
practices in order to do prosperous
business. In fact, the largest and
most successful manufacturers of food
products have invariably been those
who have spurned the crime of adul-
teration and have built up their sue
cess solely upon the absolute purity of
their output.

that timber property must pay its

Should Deal Fairly With the Railroads

The railway systems of the united
States cost two or three times as much
70 build and equip as the railroads OF
other countries. They provide an IN
finitely better service to the public at
fares from one-half to one-third as
great as those charged i'm European
countries. and pay on an average
about twice the wage scale that IS
mid abroad These are facts that the
American people should keep in mind.
They should also recognize the i'm
nortant part which our railroads have
horne in the development of the coun-
try's resources, and the advancement
OF lis material prosperity. In no point
can predatory legislation unsettle pub
liz confidence more quickly than when
il is directed against our great sys-
TENS of railroads whose stockholders
are to be found in every section of the
country, and which reflect more quick
Nv than any other business enterprises
the spirit of confidence and progress
that constitutes the very life-bloOd of
the nations growth along lines Of per-
manent development and prosperity.
