CROWS ON BICYCLE
ACCORDING TO CYCLOMETER
THEY PEDALED 80 MILES.
Strange Tale Told by Peapack, New
Jersey correspondent in Sup
port of the Mature FAX
er's" Stories.

AS there seems to be so much at
tention lately given to nature fax
ers'' and nature pro and con, l am
taking the liberty of describing to the
New York Times the following Incl
dent which at the time and ever since
has appeared to me to be trifie
out of the ordinary.
Last week while out at farm near
the metropolis of Peapack, N. j., one
afternoon, | was behind a barn clean
ing my bicycle. In the nearby meadow
is a clump of scrub oak trees, and
these at the time We're used as rest
ing-place for a flock of crows. Evil
IDENTIFY the dry weather and a lack of
food had made them holder than usu-
al, for when | threw them a few
crumbs of my lunch they flew down
and devoured it greedily. My wheel
{ had reversed-resting on it's handle
bars and saddle the better to get at
the spokes,. etc. Having finished the
cleaning ! left it as it was, throwing
the remainder of my lunch on the
ground and went into the barn. As
entered l glanced behind me and
was surprised to observe one of the
crows (almost Immediately followed
by another) swoop down toward the
bicycle, evidently intent upon getting
the remains of my lunch. He ''lit"
ON the right pedal of the machine,
which happened to be up, but his
weight was such that he caused it
to make half turn, and at that very
instant the other crow lit on the
left pedal which was now up, and his
impetus was such that he now also
made a half turn, thus bringing the
first crow up again. This one then
''hunched" himself in his endeavor to
fly off, but this very "hunch" was suf-
icient to cause his pedal to sink down.
This operation was then repeated by
the left pedal crow in turn, and so
they kept the wheel revolving and
seemingly were unable to leave it. l
watched them for a half hour, and
when | returned at sund own they
were still at it.
L dislike TO see anyone WOrk LOO
hard, so l stopped the wheel by grasp
ing the tire The two birds were so
exhausted that they fell to the ground
and I easily picked them up, but after
giving them a little food and water
they appeared as well as ever. There
were some leg bands in the barn, and
after marking one of them "Roose-
velt'' and the other Or. Long" / fas-
tened one to each of the birds and
let them fly. Upon looking at the
cyclomteter, which was attached to
the rear wheel saw it had registered
321a miles more than when l last
noted it. Now some students of ma
ture may doubt the above, but to
convince them l shall be pleased to
show them the wheel and the CYCLIC
meter, also Peapack, the farm, the
barn, the meadow and the clump of
oaks. The birds, of course, have
flown away, but no doubt with little
salt they could be recaptured.

perfect arch The original course q
the canyon stream is traceable around
the west end of the bridge.
The permanent camp of the party
was made three miles below Edwin
bridge in Armstrong canyon, and
quarter of mile above the Caroline
bridge, under whose arch White
canyon comes to its junction with the
Armstrong. The Caroline bridge lacks
some of the symmetry and grace of
the Edwin bridge, and while it is 20o
feet high, the distance from the bot
tom of the arch to the creek bed is
only 81 feet, showing a thickness of
the floor of 107 feet. Three receding
lodges form the roof of the bridge.
Up White canyon, two miles from
the junction, stands the Augusta
bridge, the most majestic of the three.
From an imposing height of 222 feet
one looks over the edge of the great
structure to the creek bed beneath.
Walls rising to greater and dizzier
heights flank the bridge on both sides.
The floor of the bridge is IS feet thick,
and under the arch, 157 feet high, the
average ten-story building might be
set without touching the under side OF
the bridge. The floor is POI feet long.
The erosion of ages has cut away
all of the irregular edges, leaving
perfect arch of splendid proportions.
The same story of chemical and water
action is written on the Augusta,
traces of the water that poured down
from the Elks are still found around
confusion of great rocks below shows
that huge pieces were torn away at
time in that titanic work which re-
suited in the present freak formation.

Some Zoo Psychology.

A little girl in red hat approached
the tigers cage, and the old tiger,
with a horrid yell, made spring at
her. Her yell in return was al
most more fearful than the beasts.
Dash it ALL said Keeper John
Lover, 1--WE ought to have rule pro-
hibiting red in the carnivora house.
Red excites these animals some
thing fierce. It's actually bad for
their health"
Why does red excite them?"
Because it looks like flesh. 1t
looks like blood. A lion or a tiger
sees a girl in a red hat or a red
blouse, and he gets the idea in his
noodle that a chunk of raw meat
is being brought to him. He mistakes
the red fabric for horse steak, and
slavering and roaring, he makes a
dash for it. And that is the psychol
ogy of carnivorous animals so

BABY IN TERRIBLE STATE.
Awful Humor Eating Away Face
Body Mass of Sores-Cuticura
Cures in Two Weeks.

"My little daughter broke out all
over her body with humor, and we
used everything recommended, but
without results. I called in three doc
tors, but she continued to grow worse.
Her body was mass of sores, and her
little face was being eaten away. Her
ears looked as if they would drop off.
Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, and before l had
used half of the cake of Soap and box
of Ointment the sores had all healed,
and my little ones face and body were
as clear as newborn babes. I'would
not be without it again if it cost five
dollars. instead of seventy-five cents.

THE MAN THAT HURRIES.
And the Man Who Keeps Cool and
Does Things Without Hurrying.

II like to see man quick about his
work." said Mr.. Quilkinton, "but I
don't like man who habitually hur-
ries."
1.-THE hurrying man gets on my
nerves. He grabs things up and slams
things down and makes great show
of doing things. For that matter the
earnest, hurrying man may actually
do things, but he often does them at
the cost of an unnecessary expendi-
ture of nervous force on his own
part, and am sure he must wear on
the nerves of other people around
him.
Now the hustler is a very different
proposition from the hurrying man,
and SO also the man of energy. The
hustler is indeed man of energy,
but he is one working, or commonly
so, within comparatively narrow
compass or along some special line
of work. He is bull sort of man,
driver, who makes it his business
to get things done and to keep on
getting them done and always with
the least possible waste of time or
force. There are other sorts of hust-
lers, men who make a great to do
and don't accomplish much; but the
one have described is the hustler of
the best type.
"The man of energy is man of
strength and momentum who gives
also an impression of reserve power
He is likely to be the head of the en-
terprise and he communicates his
strength to the hustlers and diffuses
power all around. Everybody within
range of his influence feels his
strength and work better for it; and
he puts his own shoulder to the wheel
on occasion.
But neither the hustler of the best
type nor the man of energy ever hur-
ries. The hustler rushes things, he
crowds 'em hard and keeps crowding,
but he doesn't hurry. For hurry means
nervousness and nervousness means
impairment of strength, and on a big
job hurry is likely to mean confusion
worse COMPOUNDED.
''The real hustler lays out the work
to be done clearly in his own mind
and then, with no false moves, with no
waste of time or effort, he crowds
the work forward to it's conclusion,
all without the turmoil of hurry. And
the man of energy diffuses strength
always steadily, ever contributing to
the highest results.
$50 1 don't personally fancy the in
dividual man who, however efficient
he may really be, does things in
hurry. l like the cool man who keeps
his head and who is easy and deliber-
ate in his movements. In him and in
his work you feel full confidence, and
the effect of his presence is good in
every way on all around him.
"Give me cool men, rot men who
work in a hurry"

the registration for that course is

Recipe for Success.

Sir Lawrence Alma adema, R. A,
whose marvellous painting, 'Carcacalla
and Geta'-which contains no fewer
than $500 figures-is attracting SO
much attention, is one of the most
painstaking and conscientious artists
living; so exacting that if a canvas
fails to satisfy his almost hypercritical
taste he will destroy it, though it
may represent the work of many
months Hard work, and plenty of
it, is his recipe for success; and
there are few mornings in summer
that he is not at his easel at four
or FIVE o'clock. Many people," he
says, are surprised when they hear
that have visited Greece or Egypt

So much on nv CanyRseS."
