MY collection includes insects. but

These specimens I collected by taking
trips to woods, ponds and open fields.
The best of these places are the fields.

to swing the insect net. In ponds 1

Mosses and Lichens
BY LLOYD DE PIMA LEMON

IN my tramps in the woods / soon
COLLECTED quite a number of mosses,
lichens and fungi, and the question
arose how to arrange them. i decided
on getting three shallow cardboard
boxes of the same size, only an inch
in depth. On the bottom of one l
pasted my speciments of lichens. leav-
ing plenty Of space around each one
for names and notes. In the others /
placed the fungi and mosses. The lids

they open without coming completely
off, and l can keep all the boxes tied
together AS my collection increases
i can add boxes of the same size and
also place extra mounted cards In the
boxes.
L had few lichens which were es-
pecially pretty when mounted. and as
like TO decorate my den with speci-
mems of my fads and fancies. as mother
calls them, / decided 10 mount few
to hang on the wall. 1 bought a plain
picture frame. Then / mounted my
fayorite lichens in box about half an

4. NJ. STANLEY AND THE dogs
Karagas Chief Points to Odd Resem-
bisnce Between Native CANNES
and Explorer.

From time immemorial caricatur-
lists have made use of the common
observation that there is in certain
human types decided resemblance
to familiar animals. Al notable ex.
ample was that of Louis Napoleon,
whose brooding. acquiline countenance
was readily converted into a bird of
prey; sometimes the French eagle,
but oftener and more stril1ingly a
vulture preying upon France.
The dignified and venerable Charles
Darwin accepted an observation Of
this sort as applied to himself and
with a humorous perception Of its CO.
incidence with his favorite theories,
while the resemblance between the
countenance Of Paul Kruger and that
of an exceedingly sagacious gorilla
was more than once remarked.
An amusing discovery of unhuman
likeness was related by friend of
the late Sir Henry M. Stanley. When
Stanley visited the Karaguas, an Afri-
can tribe rather above the average in
intelligence. he had with him fine
bulldog whose pugnacious counte-
nance possessed all the unloyely char
acteristics Of the breed.
Now 1t appears that the Karaguas
gave much attention to this beast,
and their chief, before parting with
the white men,. ingenuously pointed
out an odd fact that he had observed
The Karagua men, fiat faced, snub
nosed and thick Tipped, looked, he
thought, much like the English dog;
while the half wild Karagua dogs.

looked, much more than their mas
tiers did, like the Englishman.
Whether Stanley. who had every
right to think well of his own per.
sonal appearance, relished this com
parison or not he could not do other
wise than take 1t in good part, and
he had sense of humor enough to pass
it on for the. amusement of others
after he got home Harpers'

LET me have men about me that

believed that fairness was question
Of temperament and soul. It is, in
deed. one Of the things which the
most of mankind vaguely believe
that fat people are, on the whole,
easy going, comfortable and good to
live with. But says the Family Doc
tor, If we are to folloy Professor
Lyde, it is all a mistake to suppose
that fairness and temperament are
connected. What makes people fat is
not. as the adage has It. laughter or
good temper, but climate. "From one
end of Denmark to the other" says
Professor Lyde. you would not find q
really thin man. which seems rather
a huge generalization. even for pro
lessor. But 1t is supported by reasons.
The people. we are told, live in warm
buildings and feed on milk and GER
calls. Moreover, the climate of the
country has not the weight reducing
influence Of warmer and drier lands.
So that the men get SO lazy that they
will not take the trouble even to cut

picture Of Denmark as country
where everyone spends all his time
