liuchen should be smoothly scour-

sticking, and the frying medium
should be butter or bacon grease,

the batter slightly with fork, so

Natives are warned of the
stealthy approach of the crocodile
by the pungent odor of musk
which that animal emits at all
times. Crocodiles are often kill
ed with an iron barb-tipped Jave-
lin and sometimes with a bullet,
which, Notwithstanding tradition,
easily pierces his armored hide.
The natives eat the crocodile
flesh, use the fat, regard the eggs
as delicacies and prize the musk
glands highly, using the musk as
ointment for their hair and body.
Crocodiles inhabit many parts
of the globe. They are quite COM
mon in the southern part of our
own country, especially in Florida.
where it is supposed they lay in
wait on the river banks, conceal
ed by tropical vegetation, to
swallow alive some unfortunate
pickaninny. That, however, is
nothing more nor less than the
most outrageous nature taking.
While it is true that crocodiles
frequently kill human beings for
food, there is no truth in the
swallowing alive fiction. Despite
the croeodiles enormous mouth,
it's throat is small. This ugly rep
tile finds it necessary to take
small pieces of food at one time,
because of it's rigidly articulated
Jaw, and unelastic throat. All its
large prey must first be torn into
little bits before Mr.. or Mrs. Croc-
odile can make a meal of it. When
the crocodile is angry he banks.

selves in tbs ;-ul from which they
emerge upon the return of pros
perity. These reptiles are tricky
and have the advantage of being
equally at home on land and in
the water. They often use their
compressed, powerful tails as
weapons with which they sweep
their unsuspecting prey into the
water and hold them until they
are drowned.
The ancient Egyptians used to
worship the crocodiles of the Nile
and when these ugly reptiles died
they were embalmed. The monster
crocodiles are now extinct and the
fossil ancestors of the crocodile of
today, especially the one known as
the genus rhamosuchus of the
Siwalik hills of India, attained a
length of over fifty feet.
The crocodile usually leads a
peaceful, domestic existence, but
when hungry and no other food is
to be had he turns into a cannibal
and eats his own babies.
While the alligator is of the
crocodile family, it differs from
the crocodile in a few respects.
The feet are less webbed, the head
is shorter and flatteE and he is
less aquatic. The hunters who are
after the valuable skin, killed in
the United States between 1880
and 1890 as many as 100000 of
these reptiles. Alligators are of
slow growth. At the age of 10
they are only two feet long and if
you ever see a 12-foot alligator
splashing around in a zoo tank
you can make up your mind that
his age is about seventy-five, and
if he's longer than II feet he may
