Perhaps this explains why, on single Sunday, 4O,- 900 men. women and children, princi- pally children. will flock into the Zoo logical garden at Bronx park in the northern part of New York city.

straight streets, Mogador looks far more Spanish than Moorish. It is quite a sophisticated place. with a large trade and considerable Euro pean colony, of late years much aug mented in the winter by tourists. For some reason the surrounding country is much safer than even the country about Tangier, in plain sight of the lights of Gibraltar. This fact, together with it's climate and the splendid shooting to be had, have made it favorite rendezvous for sportsmen. Of late years it has lost much of it's trade, owing to the completion of the French railway to Timbuctoo; before that scores of caravans. some of them thousands of camels strong, left Moga- dor every year for the markets of the southern Sahara, but now the trade goes prosaically in freight cars from Senegal.
 But though the town lacks some thing of local color, though the min arets are only square. squat towers, and though domes and Moorish ar cades are conspicuous by their ab- sence, the population Is as purely ori- ental as could be wished. Stately Arabs in flowing burnouses. nearly na- ked tribesmen from the desert, yelled ladies wrapped in huge white sheets. like walking bundles of laundry, shuf- fling Jews in sad-colored robes, green turbaned marabouts, bare-legged Moors, and scores of those greasy haired Syrians who penetrate to every part of the tropical world, they flow up and down the streets.
 North of Mogador the coast trends away eastward. Sometimes the boats call at Safi and Mazagan, but more frequently the next port of call is Rabat, just across the river from Sal lee. Sallee and Rabat have chequered history, sufficiently frenzied to suit the most romantic taste. For 300 years the Sallee Rovers were the terror of the European coasts as far north as Biscay and Marseilles. and 1t is said that at one time there were over 10,- 900 Christians held as slaves in the town. Rabat Is the port of entry and the residence of the consuls. Sallee is closed to foreigners. and permis- sion must be had from its governor before one can set foot on its dilapida- ted quays.
 Surrounded by its battIemented walls, Sallee is almost sacred city in its purely Mohammedan exclusiveness, and its inhabitants rank far above those of the open ports; not a Chris tian is allowed to dwell in the town
 Built in a time when it was enor- mously wealthy it is said, by those who have visited 1t, to be literally a city of palaces; but Moorish palaces are so constructed that hardly hint

ented recluse who has lived here in a hovel that was once a stable, for many years. Disguised, he said. with everything pertaining to modern life. Bauman determined to rear his foster son in the atmosphere of a by-gone g. The classic tongue of Rome was. only language taught to the boy oy his eccentric parent. who was we'll able to follow his part. he having been noted Latin scholar in Europe.
 When the lad was ten years old he possessed a knowledge of Latin that the school taught youth of twice his age could not hope ever to equal. Now, he speaks the ancient tongue so well and reads and writes 1t with such fiuency that he may well be said to have revived 8 dead language.
 The elder Bauman's desire to bring up the boy in an atmosphere of aloof- ness from all that is modern has been wellicarried out. The youth has never ridden on a train, used a telephone or in any way mingled in the life of the village, which, narrow as 1t is. repre- sents to him the great outside world, full of evils and temptations.

to be in existence. The Gutenberg Bible is the first book known to have been printed from movable types. The catalogue of the Hoe auction says of the copy recently sold:
 Printed on vellum of the finest quality, it is in remarkably clean and fresh condition, the bold gothic char acters standing out with undiminished grandeur. Whereas all copies vary slightly, the above is one of the few known to exist with headings at the commencement of the Epistle of St. Jerome, and the First Book of Genesis printed in red, 1t being presumed that on account of the difficulty encoun- tered in printing in a second color this undertaking was discontinued. In the British museum copy these spaces were left blank The other chapter headings throughout are written in red in a contemporary gothic hand. thus preserving the symmetry of the page, while the beautiful illuminated initials and decorations. taken in con function with the antique and massive appearance of the binding, contribute to make this a truly magnificent ex- ample, if not one of the finest in exis- tence.

 In Somaliland, after an elephant has been killed by the native hunters 1t is cut open while the body is still warm and any rheumatic sufferer within hail is invited to step inside the elephants skin. There he crouches down and remains for an hour or so. This treatment Is said by the Somali natives to be a positive cure for rheu- matism and gout.

and regrets. As an editor MT. Howe made somewhat of a reputation for himself and his literary efforts were well read and enjoyed and other pub hcations helped themselves to them literally.
 Between planting, hoeing, trucking and cultivating on Potato Hill farm, near Atchison, MT Howe has some how found time during the past month or so to start a new monthly maga- zine, to write play and to prepare a volume of short paragraphs which is about to be published under the title of Country Sayings" Here are few of the paragraphs selected at random:
 A woman is as old as she looks be- fore breakfast
 Families with babies and families without babies are so sorry for each other.
 Nearly every unsuccessful man we ever met was a good billiard player.
 If you are confidential terms with almost any family you discover they are terribly hard up.
 Every town has its men who take pleasure in running after other mems hats when they blow of.
 Four Atchison sisters have worn the same dress to be married in. This is the right way to treat father.
 A girl should be given an allowance every week, if it is not more than 50 cents. It will teach her how to handle the great sums intrusted to her care when she marries.
 If you want to make a man very angry get some one to pray for him.
 One of the griefs of my life is that when drive vagrant dogs run after me and bark and I have never been able to hit one of them with the whip, although I always try.

time Miss Degeran was a profession al cook. On the afternoon of her death she was taking a few minutes rest on the sofa and, feeling rather tired, she dozed of and was soon sleeping soundly.
 An hour or so later, when every ef- fort to rouse her had failed, doctor was sent for in alarm. Dr. Ross of the New York hospital responded and pronounced her dead. She had died easily and painlessly in her sleep, strangled to death because her collar was too tight. In turning her head in her sleep she had unconsciously in- creased the tightness of the collar on her throat. This promptly stopped the circulation of the blood to the brain, taking her from a state of sleep into one of insensibility. As the tight col lar also prevented respiration she slowly strangled to death, powerless to save herself.

to do about It? Who is to pay you for your lost time? Answer-Take out one of the new immune policies against rain risks It Is a great scheme. If it rains you win enough to send your family away for couple of weeks in the summer.
 Promoters of outdoor fetes take out a rain risk policy and then go right ahead with their plans, not caring whether the sun shines or not. If it iS 8 fine day the crowds come to the fete and the promoters make money. If it rains and the crowds stay at home the promoters don't care anyhow. They cash in the insurance policy and make money out of the insurance un- drewriters.

 proximately, as far south as
 Cape Juby, almost parallel
 with Las Palmas; at least you
 will find 1t neatly ruled of there on the map. In reality the iron tier is a nebulous, shifting affair, that shades of imperceptibly throughout a hundred miles, or more, of desert, merging into that equally nebulous region known as the French Sphere of Influence. This southern border is the country of the Touaregs, those wild marauders of the desert, who rove over a tract of the continent half as large as the whole United States. A race of pure nomads, without gov ernment, without cities, or crops. or agriculture of any kind, these Touar- egs. said by ethnologists to be entire ly distinct from both Arab or negro, are . part of that strange. secret em- pire of northern Africa, the fanatical, underground empire of the Moham- medan sect known as the Senoussi.
 An intangible, mysterious affair is this secret league. impalpable as the air. yet yielding an enormous power that makes 1t the strongest bulwark Africa puts up to protect itself from the march of European civilization.
 Just south of Cape Juby. where the Sahara turns the flank of the protect ing spurs of the Atlas range, is the place where Fax Lebaudy, the son of Frances sugar king" tried to estab- fish his Empire of the Sahara" with his court, composed of the frail favor ites of Parisian dance halls, and his army made up of French ragamufins. ofhcered by the discard of European society. Mogador. the first port of call, is apt to be a disappointment to those dreaming of the Arabian Nights and expecting to be landed among roses, oases and odalisQues. In any oriental port much must be allowed for oriental imagery, but Mogador Is hardly more eastern in appearance than Las Palmas, just mass of white houses on a land-locked bay.
 This bay is deceptive in its placid ity, all along the coast it is understood that steamer landings are to be made surf permitting" and Mogador is no exception; 1t is all right once you are inside, but first there is the bar to be negotiated.
 There is a legend in Mogador, also to be met with in every other port as far south as St. Paul de Loanda, of a shipment of furniture for a newly mar ried consul-in Accra they tell it of the governor, and in Lagos of the bishop-that spent an entire winter pofnp m and down the cOast and hack and forth to England with never a chance of landing.

 Down in the southeast corner of Eu- rope-in Roumania and Bulgaria there are such places. The plain folk down there live in villages-there are no isolated farms between towns-and In the morning men, women and chill dren troop out into the fields to work from sunrise up to sundown. There Is a little vineyard on almost every farm. In the autumn the grapes are pressed, the wine is made and it is stored in the cellar. When you are thirsty you take a fiagon and fill it and drink. It is just the same as drink Ing at a public drinking fountain after you become accustomed to 1t.
 The reason why nobody thinks of drinking water is for the simple req son that water Is too precious. It has to be hauled from the town pump or some hillside spring, and there is enough of it to be carried for washing dishes and so on, but not for a bever age, particularly in winter, when the brooks are frozen over, and then it Is too much trouble to get water.

powerful odors are repugnant to in sects, and not long ago garlic, for example, was thought to possess some prophylactic qualities, since mosqui- toes were said to refrain from biting those who smelt strongly of that odor- ferrous plant. It is also stated by some authors that persons who regu- Iarly consume a decoction of lemon peel, which imparts a peculiar odor to the skin and it's secretions, escape the bites of insects, which dislike the smell of the skin in such cases. Some trees, shrubs and plants, such as the various kinds of eucalyptus, the cas- tor oil plant and citronella, have cer- tain reputation for preventing mala- ria, the suggestion at one time being that this was due to the "balsamic ex- aalations" which they emitted.
 Major H. D. Larymore, retired, of the British army, who saw service in West Africa, has called attention to the peculiar. properties of the "mosqui- to plant" a species of basil, Ocymum Viride, natural order Labiatae, in re- polling mosquitoes. During ten years service in West Africa he sowed seeds of the basil plant at every station where he resided, and to this he at- tributes the freedom which he and his wife experienced from attacks of 'fe- yer" during that period.
 Major Larymore draws attention to an analysis showing that the leaves of the basil plant yield a volatile oil which contains 32 per cent. of thymol as well as other aromatic substances. The peculiar properties of the Ocy- mum viride are therefore believed to be due to the thymoI given of by the leaves.
 If 1t could be shown that the Ddor emitted by these leaves invari- ably repeIled mosquitoes or that the placing of a plot or two of basil be- side the bed of the sleeper would save him from being bitten in the night by bloodthirsty anOphelines, or that the sowing the garden around the house with seeds of the basil plant would keep mosquitoes from entering the grounds or dwelling, we would then be able to congratulate ourselves upon being on the way to a simple solution of the difficult and costly question of the prevention of malaria.
