THE CROCODILE.
Terror of the Stealth or the Cunning
Brute's Approach.

8rute's Approach.
One Of the reasons given by old writ
ers for the crocodile being worshiped
In Egypt was the somewhat cryptic
one that it "laid threescore eggs and
lived for threescore years." but from
twenty to thirty is the common num-
Der of eggs found in a clutch" In
the reptiles easy code of ethics, how
ever, it's parental responsibilities end
with the act of opposition, for, hav-
ing covered the eggs with a layer OF
sand. it leaves the sun to do the rest
(whence doubtless Shakespeare's your

that water tortOises, too, eat croco-
dies eggs, but the ichneumon Is the

scratching up the nests and eating or
breaking the entire sitting" at a meal.
Crocodiles eggs. however are absurd
w small. a mother twenty feet long
being content with an egg no larger
than that OF a goose. and the newly
hatched young, hardly more IOEmtuA-
BILE than a common newt. are preyed
upon by birds. which little later the
rapidly growing crocodile would like
nothing better than to get within its
reach as well as doubtless by many
other things, including old crocodIea
themselves.
The real horror OF the members or
the crocodile tribe lies in their usual
noiselessness. They swim with great
silence. making scarcely even a ripple
on the water" says NJ. du Chaillu and
the terror of the stealth Of their ap-
proach is well conveyed in Rudyard

AGREED WITH THE ASP.
The Frenchman Got Around the Law
Against Kissing.

A gentleman who had been uncere-
moniously hustled out of a Paris play
house because he Kissed when the cur
tain fell on the second act brought an
action for damages against the mana
ger Of the said house.
The court decided in favor of the
Kissing gentleman. adding that if a
spectator is allowed to show his de-
light by INDUCING in applause his
neighbor has also the right to show
disapprobation in an audible fashion.
But the law in France was not always
so tolerant. In the middle Of the sew
enteenth century it was strictly for
hidden to hiss in a playhouse. and in
every theater there were a number Of
"gardes Franchises" with strict orders
to arrest any person infringing the
law
But the French are not easily put
down by silly regulations, and when
ever they see an opportunity they al
tack the authorities with that fearful
weapon ridicule. In This case such M
opportunity came at the Coincide
Franchise during the performance OF
CLEOPATRA a play by MarmOntel.
II was a badly written. dull work
and the people were waiting for q
chance to give vent to their opinion
A. last the chance came The manage
ment had ordered Il mechanical asp
for the great scene in the final act
when Cleopatra puts an end to her
life.
The actress raised the asp. which
started kissing. whereupon a spectator
rose to his feet and cried The asp is
quite right We all share his opinion"
Roars OF laughter greeted this joke,
and as it was fOreseen that a similar
scene would take place every night the
piece was withdrawn from the roper
tory.
