Leech Rree1inn-

Breeding leeches is the occupation
of a class of people called "Chohra"
in the United Provinces of India. In
April or May selected leeches are put
into earthen pots with ''hair-cleaning
clay" and little water, and the pots
are put out of reach of all disturb
ances, for the leeches are very SEN
sititive when laying their cocoons.
When these are formed, and have
hardened, they are picked up and put
into closed cups of clay, which are
changed every alternate day for a
fortnight. Then the breeders help
the young leeches out by breaking the
shells. Each cocoon contains five or
six young ones. The young leeches
are reared in fresh water, and the
breeder gives them meals from his
own body. Those that are sold for
medical purposes are said to lose their
power of breeding; so special seed
leeches" are put aside. The Chohra
cleans gorged leech by puncturing
it dorsally near the head and pressing
the blood out from the tail forwards.

SEEK RICHES IN METE0RlTE
English Expedition VIII Go to Break
Up Sig Stone Believed to Have
Fallen From Moon.

An expedition is shortly starting
from England for Disco island, off the
coast of Greenland, with the object OF
breaking up and bringing away the
big meteorite there.
Il weighs over 100 tons, and the
theory is that it was projected on to
this earth from the moon countless
years ago.
Fragments OF It have already been
carried away and assayed, with the
result that it has been found to con-
tain iron. copper and silver, besides
rarer metals, including polonium.
Now polonium is a cousin Of radium.
Hence the expedition. The organi-
zers of it argue that if they can only
extract from the meteorite even a
small fraction of an ounce Of radium
their fortunes are made.
1t is quite possible, too, they say.

Emergency Hint.

Persons falling out of aeroplanes
will find it quite useless to depend
upon any of the ordinary safety, de-
vices, antidotes, block systems, fire
extinguishers, life preservers or other
similar contrivances, for though all
Of them are perfectly good in their
proper time and place, they do not
meet this particular emergency. The
only thing to do when convinced you
are falling is to make a thorough ex-
animation of the underlying land
scape. For this purpose it is often
well to have handy geological chart.
or relief map. When you have thor
oughly familiarized yourself with the
topography of the approaching land
scape, it is then perfectly simple, by
two or three little bodily maneuvera,
to pick out a relatively soft spot. II
you have acted wisely in the matter,
there is nothing more TO do but lie
there and wait for help Life.

Alleged cures for wakefulness are as

Dick will come through with informa-

Harry will testify that simply to relax

These methods may be all o. K.
when Tom, Dick and Harry apply them
to themselves, but they failed when
given a thorough test by sleepless
and nigh worn out Chicagoan. He
counted imaginary sheep into the thou

had done that day. He did his best to
relax and to think of nothing. Still
he was wide awake and the clock near

1t must be recorded about here that
this victim of insomnia was rabid
golfer. Every spare moment he
passed upon the links driving, putting

No wonder, then, that as he lay un-
able to sleep his thoughts turned to
his favorite game.
"Aha!" he said, half aloud, Il have
it. I'll play little golf in my mind.

Tales of the Parson.

Some good "parson stories" are told
in Mr.. William T. Palmer's "Old Yarns
of English Lakeland" In one parish
the people when they arrived at the
church door found it shut. The clerk
blandly announced: This is to give
notice that there will be no service
in this church for a matter of four
weeks, as the parsons best hen has
setten herself in the pulpit" 1t was
a blind parson who halted in the
middle of his reading to ask, when a
farmer clattered down the little
church in his iron-shod clogs: "Wha's
that come in?" "It's Dan Mossop OF
Fell End" "Afoot or on horseback"
Late corners went in with care after
that.
