him moved rapidly away.
THE ground was wet, the sky over
cast, there was no indication of direc-
ton anywhere he began to run about
wildly looking for an outlet from the
field OF grass. Then hopelessly and with
little strength remaining lie hit out in
what he thought might be the way
toward high land. and soon after he ran
into one Of our trochas.
II knew him we'll There was not o
weak spot in his makeup. but he was as
completely unnerved that night as l
have ever seen n man. 1t was not a
thing he could explain: with us 1t was
not necessary. for each Of us in his
turn had been lost In the jungle and
each knew how there had come n time
when the ages had rolled back and he
had found himself alone, beset with all
the fears of his primeval ancestors the
fears that finally drove men together
for self-protection.
I'VE used to go swimming In all Of
the streams that were deep enough: but
this is not safe. especially for one man
alone. Alllgators are dangerous. The
little fellows from five to ten feet long
that We see along the Chagres are old
and strong. They grab hold and drown
their prey, they leave it to rot in the
mud until 1t is iii to eat--the way some
hunters let birds become game
In 1906 a man who was stationed at
Mlrai'"res as a nurse was swimming
in the Rio Grande. when an alligator
grabbed his leg. lie held on to the grass
along the bank and hullcrcd. Another
fellow gave him hand and fairly pulled
him out of the gators mouth; but the
brute came right TO the surface before
he let go. The fellows leg was all
lacerated and it was weeks before it
healed.

his head and searched for wounds. No
bones were broken and so far as we
could discover then and by daylight he
was not bitten.
We never did find out what hap

have been bitten or scratches: IL a
venomous snake had bitten him. he
would have swollen. II he had fallen, a

until exhausted, he would have died
right away or have recovered under our
gentle treatment. our only guess was
that he had been running down a trail
and one Of the constructors that wait
for deer and other animals had wound
itself around him. he had fought him
self loose, probably had killed the
snake but the strain and the strange
attack had exhausted and scared him.
The frightened look never left his eyes,
he trembled at every noise in the bush
and after two days he died--literally

dangerous.
&C. a. Mcllvaine has,,old me a story
of being lost near Corozal which illus
trates how easily "A man may go astray
in country with which he is not
familiar. He took a shotgun one holi-
day and went into a canchrake in the
Rio Grande bottom. After beating about
for an hour or so and not getting a shot
he turned back. Then he realized that
he did not know which way to go.

to tell direction. lie knocked about for
over an hour. the worry came, he had
all afternoon in which to get out. but
he was becoming tired. Finally he heard
the Shrek Of a locomotive whistle and
started in that direction. In incredibly
short time he was out of the brake. and
just in time. The tide was running in
and in another hour the whole field OF
cane would have been covered with
water. lie found that he had been lost

ward their diplomas for the work, the
same number that they would receive
for completing satisfactorily semes-
ter's work on any regular subject.
The experiment, which, according 10
members of the home economies tacul-
ty. will be the first of its kind to be
tried in the United states, will be con-
Quoted in the house OF the Phi Upsilon
Omicron sorority. The girls Will pay
all the expenses they incur during the
time they are in charge.
When the house is opened twelve girls
and a teacher, who win supervise the
work. VIII move into 1t. Six girls Will
live as boarders for six weeks In the
meantime the other six Will be ouSy
with pots and pans and brooms and
mops.
They will do all the work. Miss Berry
said. though it may be permissible tor
them to buy their bread, IL they choose
to do so. as their time will be limited
because they will have to attend the
regular classes.
The housekeeping burden will consist
in six girls doing the work for thirteen.
Fan girl will take turns at managing
the house for a week.
At the end of six weeks the six guests
will become housekeepers and the six
will become guests. In the
same manner at the end of the second
six weeks period another seXtet OF the
girls will take charge of the work
In this way during the semester or
eighteen weeks girls will have had six
weeks experience at actual housekes
ing and each girl will have had an op-
portunity to run the house for week.
There will always be twelve girls living
AZ the house besides the teacher, who
will supervise the experiment. Another
feature of the work will be weekly con-
ferences to discuss the problems OF
running the house.
