TEARS OF THE CROCODILE.
Belief Said to Have Origin in an
Ancient Fable.

The phrase crocodile tears" owes
it's 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" (1499). speaking of "Aethi-
OPP" "Ynde" and an lyle clept Silla."
says: THAT Lond is full of Serpents
and Of Cokadrilles. THESE Cokadrilles
ben manner of Long Serpents, "a
