CROCODILE TEARS.
Old Legends That the Brutes Shed
Them Over Their Prey.

Old Legends That the Brutes Shed
Them Over Their Prey.
There was an old story, to which we
find constant reference in EIizabethan
writer's, that croeodiles wept over
their prey. No doubt the legend arose
because the crocodile possesses large
ly developed lachrymal glands, but it
appears in various amusing forms.
AS early as the fourteenth century,
In "MandeyilIe's Travels" we find: an
that contre ben great plentee OF Coka-
drilles. THESE serpentes slen men, and
thet eten hem wepynge."
An odd turn is given to the tale by
the narrator OF one OF Sir John Haw-
kins' voyages. Whether he was a mar
ried mar or not we do not know. but
he writes: "His nature is ever. when
he would have his prey, to cry and
sob like a Christian body, to provoke
them TO come to him, and then ne
snatched at themi And thereHpon
came this proverb, that is applied unto
WOMEN when they weep, Laehrymae
crocodile. the meaning whereof is that
as the crocodile when he crieth goeth
them about most to deceive, so doth a
woman most commonly when she
weepeth."
In Fuller's Worthless there is the
added information that sthe c~rocodfIe's
tears are never Hue save when ne is
forced where saffron groweth." Shake
speare. Spenser and Dryden alIude TO

1t was unfortunate for the Tot
tenville Athletic Club that two of Its
abIest performers should have been
injured in the opening games last
Saturday. Other than for that the
opening events were a success and
demonstrated that the winter season
of sports will be an unusually bril-
liant one on the southern end of
Staten Island.

Such contests as opened the rae

TEN MILE RUNNING RACE WON
BY W. N. QUEAL, time 57:35
SOME FRESH DOPE .

At yesterdays high school bas-
ketbal1 practise games the class Of
1911 attempted to put their numer-
ais inscribed on a little banner. on
one of the baskets. 1t resulted in a
miniature flag rush, the other classes
wagtng war against the seniors, and
at the end of the banner was torn in
two.
Only one more set of practise bas-
ketball games will be held by the
high school classes. The freshmen
will meet the seniors and the sopho-
mores will clash with the juniors.
The regular irtei- class series VIII
then start.
1t Is learned that members Of the
Kingwood Athletic Club, of Wood
bridge, have been paying frequent
visits to the Auditorium here to
"~spy'<on Perth Amboy basketball
teams. Their opinion Of local teams,
it Is further learned, Is that they
are an easy lot to beat. To prove
this the claytewners say they are
coming down here this season to
turn a few tricks.
Basketball tossers from this city
and vicinity have a suggestion to
make to the Auditorium manage
ment that might be of value IL rec
ognized. Tho dance floor has been
found SO slippery On Saturday nights
as to make the contests slow and IN
interesting bith last year and this
one. 1t is suggested that the games
be put on at 8 o'clock, thus insuring
a less slippery floor for playing and
a better floor for dancing after the
games.
1t is amusing to note the actions
of some athletic organizations, who
when their team loses Or fails to
make a showing, neglect to have
scores or other matter for publica-
ton. Not only once, or with one
club his this occurred, but frequent

Naming a Yacht.

The naming of a book is no holiday
task, and authors particularly proud
of a title are tolerably sure to discover
that 1t has been already used. But the
naming Of a yacht Is almost a greater
perpIexity. Plagiarism may In this
case result in practical confusion car

and not ali titles TO which, in search
OF variety, has already been

view. Not long ago, for instance. a
very grave British cabinet minister,
perhaps wishing fer once 10 be spright-

PETER HEGELMAN, SPECTATOR

Running one Of the fastest races
in this history of the community w.
N. Queal, the sturdy Canadian run
ner, took the lead from a field of the
country's best track performers in
the Auditorium last night. He COW

minutes and thirty-five seconds, de-
feating Al. Raines, his nearest oppo-
nent, by approximately four laps of
the twenty-four-lap track. white
Hawk" the Canadian Indian, was
third, being approximately nine laps
behind Queal. Bob Hallen had to
and George c.. Benfer, as in past
races here, made no showing at all.
The contest was between Queal,
Raines and white Hawk" They
ran a great race to the admiration of
hundreds of eager enthusiasts that
focked into the Auditorium and it Is
d certainty that these celebrities i'm
bued them with the proper spirit for
the remainder of the indoor racing
season. The contest brought new
life into the game in this city and
from now on the events will be look
ed forward to with interest.
By winning the big event Queal
secured first prize, $50 In cash;
Raines got second money, SIS, and
white Hawk" third money, $40.
Queal deserved credit for the pretty,
clean and steady rac he ran. 1t was
plainly seen that he was in trim to
run away from all those on the track.
He toyed with plucky young Raines
for a time. During the early stages
of the race Raines kept to the fore.
At the crack of the pistol which sent
the famous runners on their ten-mile
Journey AL. Raines leaped ahead. He
ran fast for two miles, with Queal
close behind. In the third mile QueaI
started out after Ratnes. He passed
the young runner and a wild cheer
was set up. Before the mile had
been covered Queal had Tapped his
nearest opponent. He duplicated the
feat in the fourth mile and in the
fifth. At the fifth mile Queal was
first, Raines second, white Hawk
third, Bob Hallen fourth, and George
G. Benfer fifth.
Benfer was a puzzle to the specta-
tors. Almost all wondered why he
was entered. He appeared but little
else as a h~indrance to the crack per
formers who were showing this city
a race such as is seldom seen In this
state. Queal, Raines, white Hawk
and Hallen ran to the admiration of
these present. Each had his peculiar
stride. Perhaps the man with the
queerest stride was the Indian. He
appeared as though he was exerting
every bit of energy to get along, but
he had the appearance of a plugger

TINE OF HIGH WATER.
Trial of a Dead Man,

Mr.. Christopher Hare's book
'Charles de Bourbon, High Constable
of France" mentions the strange
trial which succeeded the close OF that
turbulent career. He had died III con
quering Rome, which his leaderless
soldiers straightway sacked. For this
crime it was necessary to find a scape-
goat, so "on July 20, 1927, in the pres
ence of King Francois L., on his seat
of Justice, assisted by the peers OF
France and the assembled chambers,
Jean de Surie, first usher of the court,
called Charles de Bourbon three times
at the bar of the parliament, at the
marble table and at the marble steps
and then reported that the said De
Bourbon had not appeared. The SEN
tence was drawn up, then solernnly
read out: THE connetable de France
dead, was condemned, his goods re-
turned to the crown, and the door OF
his palace by the Louvre was painted

70 Where Ears Grow Sharp.


A French balloonist has recorded tho
~clearness with which sounds coming
from the surface of the ground can be
heard at a high altitude. At the
height of 5000 feet the ringing Of
horses hoofs on a hard road was
clearly audible. At 1000 feet the
splashing sound made by ducks in a
pond was heard. The barking of dogs
and the growing of cocks could be
heard at seven Or eight thousand feet.
These sounds penetrated through d
white floor of cloud that hid the earth
from sight, says Harper's Weekly. In
the perfect silence Of the air the in
vestigator was startled by what SEEM
ed stealthy footsteps close at hand. 1t
was ascertained that this noise was
caused by the stretching of the ropes
and the yielding Of the silk as the bal
loon continued to expand.
