sion in the heart Of southern Africa is
a sluggish, muddy stream which wends
Its way southwark, leisurely at first,
but 1t soon grows rapidly In size and
strength until 1t pours into the Indian
Ocean, 1850 miles away, fourth in
rank among the mighty rivers of AZ
rica, says the Scientific American.
About TOO miles from its source, and
Just beyond the cataracts of Mololo,
the Zambesi, Joined by the waters Of
the kwando River, spreads out into
what might be termed a lake about six
miles long and over a mile In width.
This lake Is studded with islands and
the surface is very smooth, the vegeta-
ton along the banks being perfectly
mirrored In the placid water. Strange
to say, the lower end Of this lake Re
marked not by a shore line nor by the
slightest narrowing of Its surface, but
by an abrupt fall beside which our
much Wanted Niagara is a mere pyg-
my. 1t is an entire lake that takes the
plunge, and not merely a river.
A comparison Of Niagara and Vic
toria falls shows at a glance how vast
~ greater Is the African falls. At
Niagara the river takes a plunge of 16s
feet, but the Zambesl falls sheer 400
feet. The crest of Victoria falls Ia over
a mile long|5,S0S feet. to be exact
whereas the American fall at Niagara
measures only 1,O6O feet, and the Horse
shoe fall is only 1,o3o FEET across, or
800 feet as measured along the curve.

rican waterfall we might depict against

terry Park to Worth street. Not a build
Ing would project above the crest of
the falls excepting only the tower of
the Singer building. which is now in
process Of erection. To be sure, in
comparing Niagara with Victoria, it
must b said in favor of the former
that the Horseshoe fall presents an, I'M
broken crest, while the, edge of. the
Victoria is divided by numerous, ISL
ands into stretches which nowhere ex-
ceeds COO feet. At the center is Liv-
ingstone Island, and to the left, as
you look up stream, is the main fall,
while at the right of he island is the
Rainbow fall. Buka Island separates
the main fall from the Cascade or Dew

EAGLE DROPS CHILD INTO TREE.

Its TalOns car Fixed in the

One of the pair OF giant bald eagles

bushes the eagle pounced upon q hen,

cause Of the thick foliage. The Tapping
of the great wings attracted the child
to the spot and when she saw the hen
held by the eagle she seized a stick and
began to belabor the marauder.
The eagle sprung on her, sinking its
talons into her dress, the sharp claws
tearing her flesh. Her cries brought
her father running from q Held near
by. At sight OF the man the bird at
tempted to rise, dragging the child,
struggling, after It. vreeland believes
that the birds talons became entangled
in the girls dress and that it could not
free itself. The two eagles have been
familiar to the neighborhoed since
1903, but never had they been known
to attack human beings before.
The great bird rose slowly and labori-
ously, it's wings beating the air wildly
and the child screaming with terror.
yreeland sprang forward, but before he
got within reach the bird had lifted
itself and Its precious burden above
him and was slowly rising higher and

and the bird seemed trying to free it

they rushed from field and factory

The men Of the United States are
as quick to respond to the call of

meet the needs of all. Their adjustments to schools
above and below must be made closer and moro vital.
Our universities have only begun to deal with the prob
lem of educating vast bodies Of immature students In
single institutions, and their problems of professional
and graduate. study are numerous and are pressing for
early solution.
Compulsory education laws have been adopted and now
are in force in ~thirty-six States. Such laws now are SUD-
plemented with their natural and necessary accompani-
ment-that is, with laws restricting the employment Of
children in thirty-two of these thirty-six States, while
in eleven other States there are child labor laws unac-
companied by laws for compulsory education. Vigorous
organized efforts are making to Improve the operation
OF these laws and secure their adoption in States in
which they are not In force. BY truant schools and
truant officers and children's courts this movement Is,
in various parts OF the country, receiving added rein
forcement In spite, however, of all these efforts, our
school attendance still falls below that which we ought
to have II We are to be a thoroughly educated people.
Modern education calls for schooling for those who
no longer are in school. By means of evening classes
and correspondence courses and various other provision
the range Of schooling Is increased. Such increase must
be regarded as extremely desirable and worthy Of beinr
regarded as among the first things to be considered in our
next educational advance.
