RABBIT BY NO MEANS TIMID
Correspondent Writes OF Happening
Which Would Seem to Make Old
Saying a Foolish Thing.

A story of the fearlessness Of the
rabbit when still baby is sent by n
correspondent. Remarking on the
baselessness OF the popular saying
AS scared as rabbit" when Bunny
is unspollt by the world, "B" says:
"Some days ago was passing with
friend through woodland glade,
and suddenly there appeared on the
path before us, say 80 yards away,
young wild rabbit, evidently Just
escaped from the nursery. It was al
most too young to run, and trlpped
over its feet In the most comic man
ner-for all the world like baby
tumbling over Its pinafore. II came
slowly lolloplng, lolloping toward us,
and we held our breath for fear OF
soaring 1t away; for It was a most
fascinating little creature, just n
bundlA Of fun and comedy. Then
while we watched, tragedy sprang up
full armed. A weasel moving swift
~, silently through the trees, made
sudden dart. In one second all
would have been over with bunny,
but my companion clapped her hands
and gave wild cry of anger, dane
Ing about In wrath. The weasel fed
for its life. But the baby rabbit
stopped to laugh a moment, and then
came lolloplng a little faster toward
us-rlght up to us, in fact. We had
actually to drive the little creature
back to where we guessed Its home
might be before we could go on our
way with quiet minds. Scared as n
rabbit indeedw

Friendly Bow. TImId Cat,

Standing on the sidewalk In front
of a dwelling house in midtown
street, garbage can with cover on
1t and with some shreds Of stun stick
ing out from under the cover. A big
cat standing on Its hind legs at the
can, pulling Off this stun and trying to
get the cover off.
A little down the street was O small
boy, bright small boy Of about seven
years, and when he saw the hungry
cat at the can he resolved to help. SO
he walked up quietly and removed the
cover and then stood back few PAGES
with 1t, holding the cover In front OF
him as n warrior holds his shield.
But the cat had never met boy like
that, and instead Of staying to supply
itself Mt the bOunteous store thus made

CARE FOR ALL STRAY CATS
Every Day Homeless GrlmalISlns Are
Fed at clolster Of San Lorenzo
In Florence, Italy.

From time immemorial the stray cats
IF Florence, Italy, have been cared
Tor. The clolster of San Lorenzo Is
sacred to poor puss. 1t is overlooked
by the windows of the famous Lau-
rentlan library, built by Mlchelangeio
for Pope Clement VII to house the
Medicean collection.
All stray cats are taken thither, and
at noon every day scraps of meat,
etc, collected from house after house,
are emptied into the dry moat round
the grass. Toward feeding-time one
may see cats Of all kinds and degrees
black, tortoise-shell, tnwny, and
white, male and female, young and old
--basking In the sun and licking their
chops.
Finally, when the food Is brought,
from every direction cats crowd In,
kissing at one another, mewing and
making much noise. Then, when they
have fed, human snappers-up Of I'M
considered trlnes come round to Sc
cure the pieces of paper, etc, for rags.
When lost cat is found in the city
It Is taken to San Lorenzo as natu-
rally as every Florence baby is tnken
to the Baptlstry Of st. Johns to be
chrlstened. Moreover. when people
wish to get rid of their cats, they
do not poison them or leave them to be
starved In empty houses, but send them
to the hospital cloister.

Kathleen was tired of them all. No
sooner had one finished than another
started. Her aunt had accepted invita-
tons for her that extended months
ahead. There was hardly day that
she could count on as her own. The
thought OF what lay before her bored
her. There would have been some
variation If Aleck had been going to
be there. but she was sure he would
not be. Something terrible had hap

MAYAS INDIANS BEFORE lNCAS
Race That Has Long since DIsap-
peared Ranked With the Axtecs
In Scale Of Civilization.

Prescott's Conquest Of Peru ac-
counts for the POPULAR belief that all
the people Of this country were In
cas-. The truth Is that the greatest
part of the textiles of ancient Peru
belongs to a people that had passed
away before the fncas tribes reached
the coast.
The Mayas were the ancient race
Of Indians which settled in the low
lands of Guatemala In Central Amer
lea. They ranked with the Aztecs in
civilization. They excelled In sculp-
ture, cotton weaving and feather
work. About the sixth century they
are supposed to have disappeared.
They left behind them cities like an
Client Qulrigun, now mass Of ruins
overgrown by the jungle. Half
buried by tropical growth today the
psychologists are uncoverlng huge
monoliths sculptured with strange de-
signs and each bearing a giant face.
The Mayas have disappeared, but
the Indians, forming more than half
the population Of Guatemala, are their
direct heirs.
Their br1ght.colornd blankets and
scarfs, their primitive methods of
barter, their open-air markets filled
with great heaps OF strange stuffs and
articles. should capture the imagina-
ton Of any modern textile designer

CLIPPER SHIPS IN LONG RACE

The China clipper races. contested

The Fiery Cross was the first to
start. being towed out to sea early on
May 20. The Ariel followed next

Tapping sailing 20 minutes later, while
the Taitsing did not put to sea until
midnight on the 81st. They were, Of
I cods an chosen ships with a repu-
tation for speed.
The Fiery Cross was the first to
round the Cape Of Good Hope, 40 days
out, with the Ariel on her heels, while
the Tapping, Sericn and TpItslng
were respectively one, four and eight
days behind. The Ariel led from the
Azores to tho entrance 10 the English
channel, where the serfca md TIE

Animals Of both land and sen are
confined within rather narrow limits
Of pressure. In his book on the North
sea fisheries, Neal Green shows that
the North sea fishes are ls0lnt-
cd in their own little world,
for they cannot migrate to the At
lantic depths, and, with few
such exceptions as the eel, deep
sea fishes cannot enter shallow wa
ters Forging for food Is the fish's
occupation. The North sen fishes will
not descend into the ocean because
there Is no food to attract, their eyes
are not adapted to the darkness, and
the pressure Of the water ls greater
than ordinary FISH can endure. In the
depths there are no seasonal changes,
no currents. Everything Is uniform,
stagnant, black, and the only fishes
that can see arc those specially en-
dowed with enormous eyes TO per-
ceive the phosphorescent glow Of 9th
ers OF their kind. If they could rise
to the conditions of the North sen,
these deep sea jewellers would be
helpless, II not destroyed by the re-
lease from external pressure.

Best Conditions for sleep.

The best time for sleeping Is that
time that Will favor the greatest de.
gree Of relaxation. With most people
this is some time during the hours
Of darkness, when there isn't so much
going on to distract the senses Of
sight and hearing. Just what hours
should be devoted to sleep is not as
important as that there should be
enough Of them. The so-called beau
ty sleep, achieved during the hours
preceding midnight, is n fact only be-
cause It adds TO the number Of hours
which. under ordinary conditions, we
might be supposed to spend In bed.
Most of us get up at about the same
time every morning--no matter how
early or how late we've gone to bed
the night before. SO there isn't
word Of truth in the old fable that
one hour of sleep before midnight is
worth any two hours later. Sleep
Is sleep, provided only that II IL sound,
restful sleep-whether we get 1t ut
eight o'clock in the evening, two
o'clock In the morning, or one o'clock
the next afternoon. II we can get
our sleep undIluted by disturbance so
much the better.
