HOW TO HELP THE MAYOR

Would you all like TO help the
Mayor? Well, here is a way. You
know how high up the snow is piled
in our side streets and you know
how much fun it is to play In 1t. but
did you ever think what trouble you
cause when you in your play throw
the snow back on the sidewalks and
into the cutters, which the snow clean
crs have made for the melting water
To run in?
So when you are playing in the
snow. don't throw it back on the SIDE
walk. where it vets peoples boots
and don't throw it into the narrow
cutters. where it will clog the pas
sage of water when the snow melts,
but shovel it out into the street. This
will really help the Mayor and Com
missioner FetherStOn too.
Why shouldn't we help. if we can,
in the city's work:

les a Regular JeI<yll and Hyde Sort Of
Reptile.
Persons Of only ordinary powers of
observation know that tadpoles become
frogs. This process Of transformation
is one OF the most interesting of the
many curious things that go on about
US every day The case OF the tadpole
and frog Isl mentioned that the reader
may morel easiiy understand a reptile
that is fot IN southern California
and Mexico
There are several varieties OF sala-
mandrine reptiles in North America, all
OF them perfectly harmless. One in
particular lives in the desert regions Of
the southwest The Mexicans call 1t
the axolotl 1t is perhaps the most
curious Of all reptiles. 1t is Slight
gray or pure white translucent Reptile
about seven inches In length. It lives
in lakes and ponds. breathes through
gills just back Of the front legs, has
long tail and caudal fms above and
below that extend its entire length and
four stout legs, with which 1t creeps
about the bottom OF the pond.
In the region where these reptiles
live long continued droughts are COM

gins. Instinct warns the axolotkNact

life. The gills disappear, and be comes
to the surface for air just as a tadpole
does when he is about to become a
frog. AS the water grows shallower
the axoloh loses a portion Of his tail.
sheds his caudal fms, changes from
white to brown with gray spots and
when the water is quite gone takes TO
the sand hills and becomes a spotted
salamander.
The most remarkable thing about It
all is that when the water supply is
not exhausted he lives his entire life
as an axolotl and never tries to become
a spotted salamander By experiment

dergo almost complete transformation
