BABY OSTRICHES ON
ARIZONA FARM

There are many little ostriches hatch
ed at certain times Of the year near
Phoenix, Ariz The old birds sit on
eight to ten eggs. which are very
large weighing from three to four
pounds each. It takes about six weeks
for the eggs rs hatch.
Sometimes when it rains the eggs
are taken from the nest and put in
large incubators, as the ostrich will
not sit on O. wet nest. The ostriches
are very different from chickens. The
mother bird, being gray, cannot be
seen in the daytime. and the father
being black. cannot be seen at night
so the mother sits on the eggs during
the day and the father at night, which
helps to hide the meet.
The little osctriches arc about the
size of bantam hen when hatched,
and are very delicate. If they get
wet they die. when first Matched
they are not fed very much for a week.
Later they get all the alfalfa grass and
broken bones they want
They grow very fast, and when six
months old they are six feet high and
their pretty feathers are then cut from
their wings. They are full grown
when one year old, but do not lay eggs
until three or four years old.

SOME HOAXES
OF HISTORY

A wonderfully contrived machine,
called a "vihratory generator by its
Inventor John Worrell Keeley, was
exhibited to an awed lot of Philadel-
phians Nov. 10, 1s47. by that prince
OF charlatans. who posed for quar-
ter of a century as the worlds great
est inventor and discoverer-
From old Philadelphia news of this
''wonder of wonders" flashed over the
world. Tests made by scientists Of
the University Of Pennsylvania showed
no trace of any known force. Ergo,
perpetual motion was assured factl
All Keeley had to do was to snap
his fingers. locke wise, and his ma
chinery would buzz like siX-cylin-
der AUTOMOBILES. In the height OF his
glory he said that with one quart of
water he would be able TO send a
train from Philadelphia TO San Fran
cisco. Ether waves did It, he declared.
Lippincotts Magazine, maintained
that "the brain of an Aristotle was
needed to discern and grasp Keeley's
ideas. to interpret and define them
Keelev's excuse for not allowing
anyone into the secret was based upon
the commercial value. When his stock
holders kicked he hurled such terms
at them as molecular vibration
.svstematic equilibrium" oscillation
of the atom" and the average man
ouaiied beneath his superior glance.
one day Keeley died, and the whole
hoax was exposed by excavations

LIKE
THEIR NEW SHOES

Perhaps Of all our possessions, either
personal or commercial, the Filipinos
like our shoes best. In their estimation
it may be said the shoes come next
after independence. Natives have been
known to go hungry in order to sport
a pair of oxfords with military heels
bulldog toes and big. low laces, says
the Bookkeeper. The price was the
only thing displeasing about our shape
ly footwear.
The customs laws were indicted for
the fault. Yet the price rarely inter-
fered where physical endeavor would
result in the ownership of a pair of at
tractive zapatos Americana. Still it
was claimed that many a longing ma
tive could not raise s. (Which looks
much bigger when reduced to the
equivalent of pesos) to adorn his little
brown tootsy- -wOotsies.
