ANIMALS ARE GOOD SWIMMERS
Polar Bear, Who Passes His Time In
Icy Waters, Is Regarded Best,
Though Not SWiftest.

Nearly all animals are better SWIM
mers than man and take to the water
naturally. The rhinoceros and hippo
potamus are wonderful swimmers and
divers, while the Indian elephant
crosses great rivers with heavy loads.
London Tit-Bits states.
The elk and the reindeer are first
class swimmers. The elk keeps his
head above water and crosses directly
from bank to bank to avoid turning.
The reindeer, on the other hand, turns
as often as he likes, keeping his head
only a little above the surface. But of
all swimmers of all climes the best,
though not the swiftest, is the polar
bear, who passes half his time in the
water swimming and diving. His
swimming power is nothing short of
miraculous If it be remembered that
the water in the regions he frequents
is invariably cold and that cold is nor
mally prohibitive to good swimming.
There are bears that can swim from
twenty-five to thirty miles without
great effort.
One of the swiftest swimming ami
mails is the squirrel. A sportsman on
one occasion, having at hand a SPUR
rel born in captivity, which had never
seen water, wanted to see if it could
swim and took it with him In a row.
boat to the center of the lake. The
squirrel turned toward the bank, head
and paws above the water, back and
tail underneath 1t, and began to swim
so rapidly that it was with the great
est difficulty that the man recovered it
when it reached the shallow water
near the land.

PRACTICAL USE OF POETRY
Without Verse People Would Go About
Isolated From Each Other by
Chaos of Misunderstanding.

If poetry could be In an instant
swept not merely out of print, but
out Of language and tradition. there
would be Babel indeed. We should
go about isolated each one from each
by chaos of misunderstanding, with
no more communication than we could
improyise out Of intellectual terms,
says writer In Century Magazine
We could suggest nothing, connote
nothing. say nothing but what we
could define. The practical reality of
that loss one may measure by our
proverbial ignorance Of certain saw
ages and oriental races whose poetry
is alien to our own. Nor Is that ali !;
for poetry is not alone our common
repository of past experience, but to
degree far greater than we realize
our source of present action. There
Is no need more than to remind any
observer Of human nature that man
Kind acts rather upon passion than
upon conviction. Brutus demonstrated
his point in prose; it was a poetic APP
peal that made the stones of Rome to
rise and mutiny. We define and de
termine and decide, and still do moth
ing; but when we begin to feel, some
thing is done.

Evolution of the Lamp.

DR.. Walter Clark of Philadelphia

vestigatons to find out how the old.
time lighting conditions in his city
compare with those of today, says the
Popular Science Monthly. He has dis.
covered that until as late as 1885, only
pickering sperm oil and candles We're
in use. Not until the following decade
did the highly improved" kerosene
lamp appear. Gas did not come out
until the period between 1865 and 1875
And then only the wealthy could use
it 1t sold at $3.50 per thousand cubic
feet The efficient Welsbach mantle
came out ten years later, revolutioniz
ing artificial illumination. The pres
ent era began in 1895, when gas and
electricity came into general use-gas
selling at 81 per thousand cubic feet
and electricity at 10 cents per kilo
watt hour. Since that time the gas
mantle and the electric filament have
seen vast improvements, so that today
the average family is obtaining about
eighteen times as much light as the
people of half century ago.

TEMPERAMENT Of cameIs.

Bearing an innate grudge against all
restraint and all who restrain him, the
camel will use the great strength of
his long legs to kick his keepers or the
dogs which guard him In the waste
places. but in the presence of enc
mics, among wolves or other beasts
of prey, he Is coward, forgets the
very use Of his legs and proves his
erratic temper by screaming and spit
ting In terror. No camel wants to be
loved. and no one familiar with camels
ever entertains the least affection for
them. They make savages of what
ever people breeds them. The man who
owns and uses camels cannot live in
a city, he cannot travel the highways
through cultivated country, he cannot
have a permanent abiding place. He
is doomed to live In deserts ard arid
grasslands. to follow the paths that
are lined with evergreen thorns, tama-
risks and bitter weeds, to drink the
saline water that his evil tempered
beasts prefer and to avoid the haunts
Of men and horses as the horseman
circles the deserts, says Rodney Gil
bert In Asia.

Cock and Bull Story.

permitted in the Dominican republic,
it has never been popular in this island.

Concentrate at the Traps.

You'll never make trap shot of him

trate. says Outing. Concentration is
rather an important habit to cultivate,
whether you are managing railroad,
or shining shoes-but to the man who
would succeed at the traps, 1t is vital.
He must forget his surroundings, his
score, his neighbor on the platform,

POPULARITY OF BLUE GRASS
Kentucky Soldiers, on Return March
From Battle of Tippecanoe, Gath
cred Seed in Indiana.

The tradition that the Kentucky SOL
diers who fought at Tippecanoe took
back with them the seed that has made
blue grass famous in central Ken
lucky, has never been questioned or
seemed to require authentic proof, de-
clares writer. Mrs. lowering says,
In her Authentic Indiana"
ut was on the return march from
the battle of Tippecanoe that the sol
diers from Kentucky gathered the seed
Of the blue grass which they found
growing in Indiana, and carried it
home with them, thinking it was SUI
perior variety because it satisfied the
hunger of their horses so well that
they would not eat corn. 1t flourished
so well on the limestone soil of central
Kentucky that it made that state ia
NOUS" This statement was based on
information obtained from early set
tiers Of Indiana. Kentucky was not
known as the blue grass state until
many years after the battle Of Tippe-
canoe.
As long as slavery existed, Ken
lucky, lying south Of the Ohio river,
was classed as a Southern state. 1t
never was classed as central West
ern or middle Western state along
with Ohio and Indiana. In the census
report of 1910, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan and Wisconsin were classed
as EAST North Central states md
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and
Mississippi as East South Central
states"
When Indiana was admitted to the
Union, in 1916 1t consisted of 10 coun-
ties, viz: Wayne, Franklin, Dearborn,
Switzerland, Jefferson, Clark, Wash
ington, Harrison, Knox, Gibson, Posey,
Warrick and Perry. In the subsequent
creation of 70 counties out Of these,
making %, the boundaries of the orig
inal 10 counties underwent material
changes.
