Wide World Magazine. 1t will leave
Its young on the Ice in the morning

main away all day swimming in search
of food. Returning in the evening, It

of other baby seals, Notwithstanding
that the ice may have wheeled or
drifted fifty or sixty miles during the
day from wind and tide and not with
standing that the patch may extend
thirty or forty miles from one end to
the other. Whether this instinct Is of
the class that enables the bird, without
any mark or chart. in a forest with
millions of trees alike to find its way
back with ease and precision to its
nest do not know, but 1t is one Of
those wonders In nature before which
human knowledge is brought to full

Before the trial was half ended 1t

FOR THE CHILDREN
The SIeepy Donkey.

A man near Meadville, Pa. has an
innocent looking, sleepy little donkey,
which he keeps IN yard back OF his
house For some time every dog that
passed made II a point to stop and
bark at the long cared animal. Final
ly the man became provoked, and one
day when two big dogs growled and
tried their best to jump the fence the
man quietly opened the gate and let
them In. If they had been Siberian
bloodhounds the barking brutes could
not have rushed with more ferocity
upon the seemingly stupid little AMI
NAL with long, shaggy hair and cars.
Prancing around him on both sides
and watching their chance to grab
him by the throat both together, the
dogs, like brace of ravenous wolves,
encircled the donkey. Squirting lazily
out of his of eye, the donkey appear
ed most oblivious to his danger. The
dogs grew fercer. As both were
about to catch his throat In their
teeth the donkey with the speed of
lightning flash lowered his head and
dashed toward the nearest dog as II to
butt him. Round and round the DON
key whirled as IL on pivot. Then
his heels flew out, and the next In
slant ffty pounds OF dog went spin
ming through the air. The fate of dog
No. was only an aggravation to No.
2. He snapped and growled more flu
riously at the donkey than before. In
two minutes more. however. the Sec
ond savage assailant was cavorting
over the turf In somersaults, and the
donkey had closed his eyes again and
retired on his laurels.

Early Wsapon..

The earliest weapons of mankind-of
the cutting, thrusting. hacking and
stabbing variety-were undoubtedly
suggested by the natural weapons Of
the animals--the tusks of the boar, ele-
plant and waIrus. the sword of the
swordfish and norwhal. the pointed an
tiers Of the deer and the short horns
of the steer. In fact, It is well known
that these weapons, taken directly
from the fruits of the chase, were ac-
tually employed by men before they
made for themselves any other weap-
on than the club. The sword is simply
the buffalo's long curved horn made
into steel and fattened out. just as the
dirk Is the deer's antler made out of
the same material. and SO on to the

To nlx.rt .ba Eunhra.s..

The deserts of Mesopotamia are not
as arid as those Of Egypt. After
abundant rains they are covered with
green grass and feed thousands Of
sheep. but the danger of the floods is
great for the cultivators. The in
habitants Of the Tigris and Euphrates
valleys figure upon losing their crops
and even their seed one year In three.
To remedy this the waters Of the
Euphrates in time of overflow are to
be diverted. This would cost $1,6SS.-
$50 and would require only three
years to complete.

Those members of the Detroit team
who went on record last winter as
considering Joe Jackson only fair
hitter may have occasion to change
their minds before the season is much
older. Jackson is accomplishing some
wonder stunts with his bat, and there
does not seem to be the slightest
doubt that he will be one of the con-
tenders for batting honors In the
American league this year. To date
he has found but little trouble with
any of the pitchers who have faced
him, and incidentally he holds the
long distance hitting record. Some
years ago Joe was given short trial
by Connie Mack, who passed him up.
How nicely Jackson would fit in on
that Philadelphia outfield!
