EGGS THAT CR0AK.
Young crocodIes Are Heard Before
They Are Hatched.

That young unmatched crocodies ut
ter an audible croaking cry within the
eggs In which they are laid is averred
by Knowledge, and it adds the cry is
SO loud and distinct that it can be
heard when the eggs are buried under
one or two yards Of sand.
DR.. w. A. Lamborn tested the fact
at Lagos on the West African coast.
He heard croaking noise from below
a dry path, and, digging in the path
to investigate the cause, he discovered
thirteen crocodile's eggs at depth of
about eighteen inches. All the young
crocodiles hatched out within half an
hour of being dug up.
So far back as 1899 DR.. VoeltZkow
noticed that unmatched Madagascar
crocodiles uttered cry from the egg
at depth of two yards and that any
shock, as of heavy tread. near the
egg caused the baby crocodles to pro-
duce this sound with the mouth closed,
as we produce hiccup 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.

Wealth Rules the World.

In this twentieth century. Here is some
OF 1t: TT was for the use and benefit
of the whole human race that God
destined the material resources which
he placed in the world. Today there is
a monstrous inequality in the distribu-
ton OF these resources. A compara-
lively small number of men hold a
disproportionate amount of them. In
France. for instance. a hundredth part
of the nation owns half Of the nations
wealth. In England and the United
States one-tenth of the people hold
nine-tenths Of the whole country's
property The wealthy few now rule

DURATION OF TOLL.
Growing Belief That Long Hours o

Growing Belief That Long Hours of
Work Are Improbable.
One Of the most interesting things
the efficiency experts have sought to
figure out is the ratio OF hours of work
to fatigue. 1t ls possible that stand
not distant future whereby may be es-
tablished the number of hours one may
work with profit to himself and to his
employer.
The New York Sun in speaking of
the attention that is being given to the
questions OF economic loss through ia
ugue says that physicians who are
familiar with industrial conditions
have noticed that accidents In facto-
r!es occur with clocklike regularity at
certain hours of the day when the
workmen are most likely to be tired
That the more hours q man works
the more he does is a seemingly obvi-
Gus truth, and all demands for lessen
ing the hours OF work seem TO carry
with them a desire to decrease the
AuOuuI Ol WOFh QODe. out Tue Qut5-
ton is not SO simple as this, according
to the Dodge idea. Working days are
much shorter than they were In years
gone by, with probably no decrease in
the amount accomplished. No easy
logic can be applied to the question.
1t might be Ironically contended, for
instance, that II cutting down the
hours of work increased the amount
done then they should be reduced to
one or nothing. To this it could be re-
torted that if long hours produce lar
ger results then twenty-four hour
sleepless day would be the most pro
ductive.
A rough and ready answer cannot be
given to the general question as tc
what length of work done Is most eff
| fective. Some interesting studies and
experiments have been going on in re
cent years, however, in the question of
| the relation of work and fatigue, and
| 1t is found in many cases that the
promptings of humanity and OF intelll-
| gent self interest In the matter Of
| working hours are not at variance.
| Not only are there losses In total eff

SENSITIVE PLANTS.

The sensitiyeness of plants Is q never

One OF the naturalists in an arctic
expedition noticed that, although the
summer sun shone through the nights,
the plants made no mistake, but when
the sun got round to the west they
closed up as If the sun had really set.

attempted to keep in touch with the
