Voices Tn Crocodile Eoos.

Scientists assert that young croco- dies, just before they are ready to hatch, utter a croaking cry within the eggs which can be heard though the eggs be buried some distance under the sand DY. w. A. Lanborn recently tested the fact at Lagos. on the West African coast. He heard a croaking noise from below dry path and, dig gtng in the parth to investigate the cause, he discovered thirteen crocodile eggs at 8 depth of about eighteen inch es. All the young croc0diles matched out within an hour of being dug up.
 So long ago as 1899 Dr. Voeltzkow noticed that unhatched Madagascar crocodiles uttered 8 cry from the egg at a consideragle depth and that any shock, as of heavy tread near the egg caused the baby crocodile to pro- duce this sound with the mouth closed as we produce hiccough sounds"
 In this way they inform the female crocodile, when she visits the nest that they want her aid. whereupon she scrapes the sand away and they emerge.

 Unfearing wood-folk gazed and cropped anew;
 Each tratl-side voice so dear, fa- mil1ar known,
 I could not shrink, nor feel my self alone, But oh, the teaming solitude of crowd. ed streets The heart wrung loneliness of swarming mart, The echoed self-song Of rude, testing That sets the homeless stranger-soul apartI The needless throng, sufficient each to each,
 Heart-chained to schemes another may not share; The hands withheld, the curt, un- friendly speech The desert bleakness of the twice. breathed air
 The very night winds unfamflyar Within the city's heart fsred- -Martha Harke1l Clark, in the Out look.
