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

It Is 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.
It was really exciting, says Mr..
Dimock, after locating the mouth Of
a crocodile's cave. to hang the noosed
end of rope in front Of it and stand
on the bank above waiting for "bite, !"
while my boatman busted himself
thrusting 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.
1t was a 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.

THE LITTLE WOODEN CROSSES.

The little wooden crosses
Upon q rocky hill,
there where the autumn leaves drift
down,
And all IL strangely still,
The old, old church that broods Ger them,
Has seen no fairer sight
In all the years than these who gave
Their youth. and life, and light,
Go sleep beneath the wooden cross;
Yet sweet their rest must be,
Who made themselves a sacrifice
That all men might be free.
The pain shall be to those who wait
Cross ocean mist and foam,
Who'll miss their face among the ranks
When soldier boys come home.
Rut this shall be their recompense.
To lift the cross they bear;
These were the gift a nation gave,
An offering and a prayer.
And long as mortal tongues shall live,
Until the world grows old,
New beauty and new glory.
Their memory shall enfold.s

First Horses in the United
States in 1929 When Oxen Did
Great Service on the Farms

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 a 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-
sjrable 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,
and they were cheaper kept, needing
but little grain even when at hard
" crk, 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 prouder of q
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
we're wintered in the yard, in order, 1t
was supposed, to make them tough and
hardy.

The pamphlet to Lord Liverpool and
the British parliament, written by Wal
ter Savage Landor in 1918, Of which
two copies only are known to exist,
makes highly spirited reading. In it
he sets out, with keen concern and
much energy of indignation, to criti-
cize the magnanimity with which Eu-
rope, and more especially England,
showed themselves inclined to treat
Napoleon after the battle of Leipsic,
Napoleon whom Landor regarded as
criminal, fit only for the gallows. OF
Elba, he declared prophetically that it
was "a rat trap open at both ends, from
which it was impossible that Napoleon
should not escape" Was the congress
of Vienna, he asked in bitter scorn,
with its ''well-dressed ambassadors
and ingenious state papers," to pro-
duce nothing more lasting than an
other treaty of Utrecht? He called in
vain for the temper of Lord Chatham
which should deliver the country from
mere experimental peace" With
in a year of Napoleon's banishment to
the rat trap open at both ends," he
was back in France, and Europe was
once more plunged into war.

Sal Fate Of Chinese wldowa.

Very few Chinese widows ever re-
marry. As a rule, customs Of society
do not go further but in some parts Of
Fulzien the self-destruction of widows
in their devotion to their dead his
bands has assumed almost barbarous
forms. For example, when man dies
his wife will generally declare her in
tention to kill herself to demonstrate
her faithfulness toward him. Then
the elders of the family will cause a
high stage to be erected and invite
their relatives, friends and acquaint-
ances to witness the heroic deed.
When the appointed hour has come
and the spectators have assembled.
the lady will ascend the stage to hang
herself amid the admiration and ap-
probation of the spectators. Then a
stone arch will be erected to her men,
ory, and the family will be regarded
as illustrious for possessing such de-
voted wife.

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, viger
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people f1eshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so we'll as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phospLet which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
Transformation in the appearance; the in
crease in weight frequently being aston
ishing.
Increase in weight also carries with it
a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack Of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: = Although phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleep1essness and general weakness. 1t
should not, owing to its tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

oriain of Number Symbols.

The origin of our common number
symbols has never been clearly es-
tablished, but until recently all writer's
agree that these symbols were trans
mitted to Europe by the Arabs, who
had obtained them from India. 1t IS
very interesting to note that available
data relating to the origin OF our COM
mon number symbols have been care
fully re-examined by Cara de Vau1.
Among the most surprising results are
the following: Our common number
symbols originated in Europe and from
there were transmitted to the Persians.
Both India and Arabia received them
from Persia, so that the common term
Hindu-Arabic numerals is decideGTy
misleading. The common numerals dlo
not come from letters of the alphabet
but were formed directly for the pur
pose of representing numbers.
