THE WONDER OF LIFE.
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane.)

There be many strange things in
heaven and earth, and upon these the
wonder of the mind feeds. We love
marvellous tales.
But more outlandish than anything
told by Baron Munchausen, Grimm, or
Conan Doyle are the amazing FACTS Of
the world we live in.
James Chaplin, returning from six
years Of collecting in the Congo country
for the Natural History Museum, tells
of curious great-hornbill that plasters
his mate up in mud in hollow tee un-
til she has Matched her eggs, feeding her
for six weeks through small hole in
her prison wall; of bat-eating hawks; of
weaver-birds, about the size Of spar
row. that build hanging nests, which
they enter from the bottom; and of pyg-
my tribes Of men who eat dried ants and
caterpillars.
A steamer recently entered New York
harbor from South America, bringing a
veritable Noah's Ark company of curious
lives. Ferdinand Bartels, the collector,
tells of the whilhle-buff, bird that kills
its prey on the wing by darting up under
il and spearing IL with its long, needle
like. spiked tail; of pocket-monkeys ex-
ceedingly small; and of numerous rep
tiles for which scientists as yet have no
name.
And, by the way, il you want to get
about the most fascinating book ever, to
read To your children or TO feed your
own amazement. procure THE Wonder
Of Life" Henry Holt 4 Co., n. ", by
Professor Thompson. of the University
of Aberdeen. You will find in il world
OF facts more curious than the fantasy
Of man can CONCEIVE.
You may read here Of mosquits
milking an ant: of fish swallowing a
fish larger than itself; Of the horned
toad splitting jet Of blood from its eye:
of transparent animals; Of abyssal fishes
"tumbling upwards" to the surface of
the sea: of water animals that do not
get wet: Of red snow; of starfish with
200 millions eggs; of carp that lived
for four years without a mouth: of the
dancing mouse; of bees that are neces-
sary TO fertilize flowers and of ants that
distribute seeds; of fish (fierasfer)
that passes right through the body Of a
of tailor-ants that use
larvae as needle and thread of how flies
little green-flies, milking
them, stabling them under ground and
putting them out to pasture in early
summer; Of how certain ants keep crick-
cts for pets: Of how certain organisms
give out light and others electricity; Of
the anableps. a Brazilian fish that has
a sort of spectacles, of rather two sets
Of eyes, one for seeing in water and the
other for seeing in air, as il swims at
the surface; Of how mans body is
museum of relics; of hairs on whales
and the egg tooth" on young birds: all
these and much else Of the miraculous
and unheard Of!
Well does Goethe exclaim: Nature!
We live in her midst and know her not.
She is necessarily speaking to us, but be-
trays not her secret. She rejoices in
illusion. Everyone sees her in his own
fashion. She bides under a thousand
names and phrases, and is always the
same.

is silent and wise. trust her."

There Are Politicians Here
Who May Heed the Warning

j
Judge A. B. Anderson, of Indianapolis
has given out a warning which corrupt
politicians throughout the country will
have to heed.
The warning took the shape of prison
sentences for 81 men. found guilty Of in
terfering with congressional and sena-
torial election.
Terre Haute's $4,000 citizens have been
deprived Of mayor, sheriff, circuit
Judge, the president of the board of
works, the assistant city engineer, city
Judge and several other minor officials
and they won't miss EN-.
Terre Haute's citizens would probably
have ridden themselves of these men, of
their own volition. had they been given
: good opportunity-but opportunity only
knocked once, and that was too early: it
was when Dom M. Roberts first ran for
mayor
Mayor Roberts saw to 1t, thereafter,
that opportunity never got out of the
care wherein he kept it like q trained
bird.
His clique OF appointive officials and
their subordinates. with their helpless de-
pendents, the law-breaking saloonkeepers
and dive-keepers, gave the decent major
ity no chance.
But at last one Of the "higherups," a
brewer. who evidently thought that he
was not getting his moneys worth from
the gang, rebelled; a district attorney
who was not afraid of the Terre Haute
officials, since he did not owe his eleva-
ton TO them, got busy, and the Indiana
city Is about to lose considerable frac-
ton of its population to add to the in
habitants of Leavenworth.
The United States attorney for the
eastern district of Michigan likewise
owes nothing to the gang that controls
the riverside precincts of the downtown
wards and many that are no. adjacent to
the river. but are just as skillfully "con-
trolled."
He has been shown the way; he needs
only the evidence.
Those who have studied the returns
from certain Detroit districts know that
the evidence exists.
The cheap politicians in control of the
districts, always friendly to the big lead
ers of both parties, rely on this friendship
for protection.
But even these leaders are powerless
before the federal officials.
In view Of their political Importance
and their necessity to seek favor with
the citizenry, they would be the first Ia
step aside and leave the crooks to their
fate.
