Theft In AnoIsnt Walaa

nett In Ancient wales.
In some ways which might nowadays
be called Sentimental" the laws of an
Gent Wales were in advance of those
Of today. Mr.. J. e. Lloyd In his His
tory of Wales mentions that in some
Of the codes (Which were, as a rule,
very severe on theft a remarkable
provision exempted from punishment
"the starving man who, after begging
for three days and receiving nothing.
helped himself to the food which he
needed In order to keep him alive.
That every man had the right to live
was principle of the law, and the
sentiment of the country demanded
that every person Of substance should
keep open house not only for ordinary
travellers. but also for the destitute and
the friendless"

Six species of plants that possess
window leaves have been discovered
In South Africa. They are all stem
less succulents. and the egg shaped
leaves are imbedded in the ground,
only the apices remaining visible.
The visible part of the leaves is fiat

less, so that the light can penetrate

With the exception of the blunt apex
no part of the leaf is permeable to the
