Expensive Boat Race.

A writer III Bailey's Magazine Of
England has been figuring on the cost
Of the annual boat race between Ok
ford and Cambridge, and says the ex-
pense to each crew may be approx
mately estimated at $4,000 for each
He then says that as the contest rare
ly takes more than twenty minutes,
the cost works out at about $500 per
minute, or about $S every time the
oars dip into the water. The cost of
the boats is placed at $3.50, and the
oars at $40, the rest of the money go
ing for preparation from October un-
til the day of the race. The writer
seems to think that $4,000 is a good
deal of money 20 spend on a college
crew (Observes the New York f,ve-
ming Post). 1t would be interesting
to know wha> he would think of many
times that amount spent upon the
American college crews for the an
nual races.

VARIED LENGTH OF INFANCY
Period Of Helplessness Seems to Coin
eide with the Size of the
Animal.

1t is often remarked that the infancy
of human beings today is longer than
it formerly was. This seems to be in.
evitable. owing to the higher state of
society. In a general way the more
highly developed an animal is the
longer an apprenticeship it will have
to serve before it is ready to cut loose
from parental and other restraints and
shift for itself
Two interesting books have recently
been brought out which treat Of this
matter in infancy as applied to the va
rious animals. The period of infancy
varies very widely. Mice have prac-
tically no infancy, but at six weeks are
parents of more mice Human beings
are helpless at birth and for years
after. The horse is grown up" at
three years, while the elephant re-
Quires seven or eight times that length
Of time to develop fully. Thus the
elephant is Just entering upon life
when the horse is ready to die Of old
age.
In a general way, says the Path
finder, the length of infancy tends to
run parallel with the relative bulk of
the animal-the larger animals re-
quiring more time to grow and devel-
op their full vigor. In some cases low
er animals attain maturity only by a
succession OF curious stages. The shell
Of crab when once hardened cannot
grow and the crab is forced to mott or
cast Off his outgrown shell from time
to time and grow a new one q little
larger.
A crab when growing this new shell
is known as soft shell or soft crab,
and at such times he is, of course, es-
pecially subject to attack from his
enemies. as the shell, which is the nat
ural armor, is wanting. In museums
there are exhibits Of as many as four
teen castoff shells of a single crab. be-
ginning with a very tiny one and each
one just a size larger than the last.
Shellfish have their skeletons out
side them in the form Of their shells
instead Of inside them, But what a
waste of material is involved i'll d sys.
tenn which requires them to manufac-
ture new skeleton every new moo2
or at other short intervals, only to be
thrown away as soon as it is finished.
The state of development Of ami
mails when Lorn depends great deal
on the conditions that are to surround
them during infancy Young rabbits
which are born in an underground
burrow, are blind. naked and helpless
at birth; the young hare, which is own
cousin to the rabbit. is born with it's
eyes open and covered with fur and
this because it is born above ground,
where it is exposed both to the in
clemency of the weather and predatory
foes. Thus in a measure each is suit
ed to its surroundings.

He GOT HIS CHANCE
Young Fireman Charged With

The chief had sent for John Harri-

the disappearing looks of his com
panions. Nobody spoke to him; that
was far harder than if they had
reproached him. Reproaches are for
gotten. but they had given him the
silence.
The old chief turned round at his
desk.

There was tense silence. HarriSan

He was never allowed out again.

as he denominated Gould.
Il won't hear a word against my
friends!" declared the aroused Bessie
"A fine friend for nobody to claim
that jackanapes!" snapped out the ir-
ritated Rodney.
Il think We had better meet later,
when you are more rational" suggest

NO, you shall hear me now," de
clared Rodney, determnedly, choosing
the very worst moment to appeal to
an offended deity, and putting his plea
more in the form Of a complaint than
IA true and tender confession OF love.
He managed to get hold Of her hand
and she was more than interested. A
proposal of marriage was a serious,
solemn thing to Bessie. Just then soma
girl friends came into the garden. She
feared ridicule and drew her hand
away. Rodney's brow darkened.
Il must have my answer-yes or
nO?" he persevered.
Later in the evening"
AT that moment Gould came saun,
tering up the walk.
"No-now."
"Then-no!"
Rejected! Rodney was positively
rude as he brushed by the newcomers
He made no allowance for his own
faulty impetuosity. He had made an
honorable offer of marriage to the
woman he loved, and she had refused
him.
After that he evaded Bessie, and her
friends as well. One evening he made
a wide detour to evade Gould and
Bessie, who were idly drifting in a
frail rowboat and, Rodney fancied,
looking serene and happy.
1t was rapid torturing flight Rod
ney finally seated himself on the banks
of the river three miles down the
stream. The moon came out brightly,
the night was full of sweet sounds, the,
soft drone Of the rapids further along
would have lured a sentimentalist to
sleep. Rodney, however, cherished
only bitter, gloomy thoughts.
Perhaps an hour went by when a
cry caused him to look up. The river
was broad and deep at this point, and
its center held patches of little islands.
The wider part of the stream lay be-
yond these. Suddenly he saw a boat
skim through the channel separating
two islands and bear down directly t@
the spot where he was.
1t seemed as il some giant force
nerved him to mighty strength as he
saw in the approaching boat, tossed
like a frail feather from side to side.
a female form. And then
"Bessie!"
He saw her shapely hands clingins
to either side of the craft Her ter
rorful eyes were fixed tensely ahead
Rodney threw of his coat, kicked or
