ed to protect the fellow against the
crowd he had in some way angered.
Vivian and Essper George had many
lively adventures during their travels,
all of which experiences, whether or
politics or romance, gave Vivian new
ideas of the world, and proved to be
most interesting school for him. He
one day rescued a German nobleman
from a wild boar, and was invited to
visit at his castle; while there TO-
mantle attachment between a young
German lady Of title engaged Vivtan's
attention for time, but his thoughts
in spite of himself, constantly returned
to two of his English friends.
Like many a knight and his serving
man of olden times, Vivian and Essper
George found themselves on sveral &C.
casions in very dangerous situations;
sometimes it was Vivian to the rescue
and at others Essper.
On leaving that part of Germany
where he had been entertained as
honored guest of his titled acquaint-
ances, Vivian passed through a small
settlement where there were going on
preparations for a wedding, and WV
ian discovered that the bridegroom
was an old friend from Heidelberg,
Eugene Won Konongstein, and he was
persuaded to stop and assist at the
wedding. All was so quiet and peace
full there that it set Vivian to specu-
lating about his own future.
In the morning the travellers were
on their way again; the day being in
tensely hot and sultry they withdrew
| to the shade of the woods, and while
resting there Vivian asked Essper
about his history. For time they SAT
| in quiet conversation, then were rudely
interrupted by the approach Of ter
rife storm; during which a lake on
| the top of the mountain burst and be-
came a falling ocean, carrying all
| before 1t.
Essper's horse being swept from
/ him, he climbed into a tree, but the
| lightning struck, telling the tree and
killing Essper-then "Vivian's horse
with a maddened snort, dashed down
the hill, his master clinging to his
neck; finally standing upright in the
air, he flung his rider and fell dead

Unnecessary to slit Crows
Tongues to Enable Them to
Learn to Talk-lt Is Cruel

The organ Of the Agassiz society
contains a discussion by prominent
bird authorities concerning the old idea
OF Sitting crows tongue to make
the bird talk. The following is ab-
stracted:
1T is a common practice in the West
to catch the young birds I'm early June
and place them in a cage, where they
become very tame and usually talk as
well as parrot. Many people keeping
these birds have believed it necessary
to slit their tongues before they could
learn to talk. This is wholly unneces-
sary and cruel and should be prevent
ed by law.
'.The discussion of Sitting crows
tongues is relegated to the medieval
limbo of belief Of the Ill luck of pea
cock feathers; Of dragon flies sewing
up ones ears; Of whisky for snake
bite: Of man-eating sharks; Of rab-
bits feet and the number 10; Of going
under ladders, spilling salt and break
ing mirrors"

Tricks Found Necessary in
Getting the Ugly Crocodile
to Pose for His PHOTOGRAPH

It is a habit of crocodiles to conceal
themselves In burrows in the banks
of rivers, which makes it a real task
for the photographer whose problem
is to rout them out Of their holes and
get them into view Of the camera. In
the American Museum Journal A. w.
DimOck gives an amusing description
of the methods he used when con.
fronted with the task Of taking pic.
lures Of crocodiles in Florida.
1t was really exciting, says Mr.:
Dimock, after locating the mouth Of
a crocodile's cave. to hang the noosed
end of q rope in front Of it and stand
on the bank above waiting for a ''bite," !"
while my boatman busted himself
thrusting a harpoon pole into the
earth from ten to twenty feet behind
me. In q few moments out would
rush the crocodile; then there would
be excitement at my end Of the line.
The big reptile always struggled and
fought; he clutched at the line and
rolled over and over: he swan out
into the stream and he sulked in its
depths, but the moose was tightly
drawn and never allowed to slip. and
the end found the creature facing the
camera on the bank.
It was matter of ethics that the
crocodile should be freed when he had
posed for his photograph. and remov.
ing the lasso called for much agility
on the part of the volunteer.

First Horses in the United
States in 1929 When Oxen DID
Great Service on the Farr,,1

The first horses imported into the
United States were brought to New
England in 1929. One horse and
seven mares survived the voyage.
Horses were not highly esteemed
nor much needed in America at that
time nor for hundred years after
ward. There were no race courses nor
trotting parks and the roads generally
We're so poor that speed was not de-
s,rable had it been possible with
safety. Oxen were found to be much
letter for all farm work.
Most of the land was rough, rocky,
and full Of stumps, so that oxen, being
strong, patient and slow, made much
the better team for agricultural pur.
poses and numbering than did horses,
ond they were cheaper kept, needing
hut little grain even when at hard
work. and none at all when In pasture.
They required no expensive harness
like horses, only cheap yoke and
chain, and were quickly yoked.
Under such circumstances it is not
surprising that horses in New Eng
land were not greatly admired or much
petted. A farmer was pr0uder of a
yoke of large, fine red oxen, four years
old, we'll matched and well broken,
than Of a span Of degenerate horses
such as were common at that time In
the country. They were seldom stabbed
or groomed except when at work every
day. The colts until three years old
were wintered in the yard, in order, 1t
was supposed, to make them tough and
hardy.

White Ants in the Soudan
Dispose of Dead Vegetation

In Soudan Notes and Records q plea
Is made on behalf Of the white ant,
which has naturally acquired a bad
reputation among European residents.
The characteristic feature of the cli-
mate of the Soudan Is the rapid
growth of vegetation promoted by
seasonal rains or artificial irrigation,
followed by a period or drought and
desiccatlon. The white ant attacks
vegetation only when 1t is weakened
by drought or disease. and In that
case the sooner It IL destroyed the
better. But. for the activity of the
white ant the whole Of the fertile
parts Of the Soudan would, In very
few years, be covered with an impene-
trable layer Of dead vegetation; and
the only alternative method to clear
1t OF would be by the agency Of fre,
the dangers Of which are obvious

Tarantulas are plentiful In the

Declares Reading Is Like
a Narcotic-CloudS Mind

The habit Of reading for amusement
becomes with thousands Of people ex-
actly the same kind Of habit as wine
drinking or opium smoking; 1t Is like
q narcotic, something that helps to
pass the time. something that keeps up
a perpetual condition of dreaming.
something that eventually results in
destroying all capacity for thought.
giving exercise only to the surface
parts of the mind and leaving the
deeper springs of feeling and the high
er faculties of perception unemployed.
The result Of all this reading means
nothing but a cloudiness In the mind.
That Is the direct result. The indirect
result is that that mind has been
kept from developing itself. All de-
velopment necessarily means some
pain, and such reading ~ I speak Of
has been employed unconsciously - 4
means to avoid that pain. and Tie con-
sequence Is atrophy.-Lafcado Hearn.
