curios;tiss Of Superstition.

When Egypt was in the height Of
her power. when she was most highly
civilized and delighted In being called
the mistress Of the land and sea, her
people worshiped black bull. There
was some discrimination. however,
even In this form Of worship. In order
to be an object Of mad alteration it was
necessary that the bull calf be born
with a circular white spot in the e1-
act center OF his forehead. and the
advent Of such a creature in any herd
was the signal Of wild demonstrations
from the Mediterra mean to the border
Of the Lybian desert. Even as late as
the time Of Cleopatra. star eyed god
dess. glorious sorceress Of the Nile.
such animals were shod with gold and
had their horns tipped with the same
metal Herodotus tells Of man who
died with grief because he sold a cow
that soon after became the mother of
black bull calf marked With the sacred
white circle in his forehead.

Queer Old Australian Tradition About

The aboriginal blacks Of Australia
have queer tradition about the food
They say that at one time there was
no water on the earth at all except in
the body Of an immense frog. where
men and women could not get at it
There was Il great council on the sub
ject. and it was found out that IL the
frog could be made to laugh the wa
ters would run out Of his mouth and
the drought be ended.
so several animals were made to
dance and caper before the frog to in
duce him TO laugh. but be did not even
smile. and so the waters remained In
his body. Then some one happened to
think Of the queer contort1ons into
which the eel could twist itself. and it
was straight way brought before the
frog, and when the frog saw the wrig-
Cling be laughed 50 loud that the
whole earth trembIed. and the waters
poured out OF his mouth In a great
nood. In which many people were
drowned.

how many words could be written

lead pencil and SCOTS "Ivanhoe"
and proceeded to copy the latter word
by word. Ee wrote 95.GOS words and
then was obliged to stop. for the pen
Gil had become so short that be could
not use it. \ German statistician who
heard OF this experiment was dissat-
isfied with it because all the lead in
the pencil vas not used on the work.
and therefore he bought pencil and
started to copy long German novel.
When the pencil was so short that he
could not handle it with his fingers
he attached holder to It. and 1t Is
said that he wrote with this one pen
ell 100000 words. Possibly. however.
his pencil was longer or the lead in

In New Cale'loDia sea serpents are
frequently seen and sometimes cap
turetl. They are curious creatures.
the head being very small and scarce
ly distinguishable from the body and
the tail being formed like an oar. In
length they are generally between
three and four feet. In the jaw there
are tiny glands containing poison. but
as the mouth Is very small 1t is diff
cult for them to bite. and the natives
handle them fearlessly. 4 European
traveller witnessed an experiment at
Nonmen which shows that under GER
tain conditions the sea serpent can do
deadly work. \ rat was caught In a
trap. and its tongue was grasped by
u pair OF pinchers and placed in the
mouth OF sea serpent. The serpent
Immediately bit 1t. and the rat died In
