two minutes. The stone enables them
to remain at the bottom while they are

The Gorgons were creatures of Greek
mythology, mentioned by Homer and

of serpents. their bodies covered with
scales and girdled with reptiles with
heads erect, vibrating their tongues
threateningly, while the hands Of the
Gorgons, adorned with sharp talons.
were of brass. The gaze of the mon
STEERS was deadly, all upon whom they
fixed their eyes being turned to stone.

In answering this question Il must

SONG OF THE MEADOW LARK.

There is music, liquid music. born of
heaven in every note
From the saucy little fellows swelling
breast and trembling throat
Music filled with soothing sweetness
as It's piped so bright and clear,
And 1t fills the soul with gladness as
1t falls upon the ear. AS the morning
sun Is gliding the horizons eastern rim
With tint of radiant beauty, driving
back the shadows dim,
He. the first to greet it's coming with
trill of glad delight.
Bids 1t welcome as 1t follows on the
trail Of fleeing night.
As the shadows break away
At the first glad peep o'day,
And with gold the sun the east-sly is
adjoining,
How the notes so sweet and clear
Thrill with pleasure every ear
When the meadow lark is singing in
the morning.
We awake from peaceful slumber when
the day begins to dawn,
Stretch the kinks from our attachments
with many lazy yawn;
Wonder If we'd better hustle out and
occupy our clothes,
|or roll over in position for another
little doze,
When in through the open window
comes a sweet, melodious lay,
And the beaten god of slumber hits
the trail and fades away,
|As the yellow breasted fellow from his
perch UP on a pole
|Every sense starts into action with the
music from his soul
Off the kivers then we kick,
And our every move is quick,
As our person with our raiment were
adjoining,
And We whistle merrily
In the same soul-stirring key,
with the meadow lark that's singing
in the morning.
