NOT THE EXPECTED CARoLERS
Youngster Merely Mistook DuIcet
Voice Of Domestic Animal for the
Music Looked For.

She had placed a lighted candle in
the window because the instructions
said to do just that thing. A lighted
candle on Christmas eve would notify
the carOlers that music was desired
and they would stop to sing. 1t was
all quite simple. So the candle burned
ever so brightly while the members of
the family were busily engaged in IN
speeding Christmas presents and wait
ing for the community singers.
Finally the little boy began to play
on his toy piano and there was consid-
cradle noise in the house. Above the
din, however, there came a sound from
out Of doors.
Listen, mother" one Of the children
insisted, make baby be quiet. Don't
YOU hear the Christmas carOlST
Suddenly all was silent-that is, all
was silent with the exception Of the
neighbours cat. Apparently it was sing
ing something in German. At any rate
the little boy went on playing his piano
and the carolers never did appear.

WHITE ANT NOT ALL BAD
Insect Said to Be Useful in Destroying
the Dead Vegetation Of the
Sudan.

In Sudan Notes and Records" plea
is made on behalf of the white ant,
which has naturally acquired a bad
reputation among European residents
The characteristic feature of the eli
mate of the Sudan is the rapid growth
of vegetation promoted by seasonal
rains or artificial irrigation. followed
by a period of drought and desicca-
ton. The white ant attacks vegeta-
ton only when it is weakened by
drought or disease. and in that case
the sooner it is destroyed the better.
But for the activity of the white ant
the whole of the fertile parts of the
Sudan would, in a few years, be COW
cred with an impenetrable layer of
dead vegetation; and the only alterna-
tive method to clear it off would be by
the agency of fire, the dangers of
which are obviOus.-Nature.

We arrived at Swinemunde. ON the

across to the west side in a launch

BaueWitzA who began maulinG him be-
fore the sentry even. had told his
story. After while Badewitz quit
pounding the cook, and listened to the
sentry. Then Badewitz said the cook
had put note in the dixie before he
dropped 1t, so they beat him up again
and put him in irons. After that they
sent the rest Of the cooks back, and
would not let them on deck again.
They had plenty of canned goods and
Meat aboard. but they would not give
us any.
Five Of the men were buried at sea
that day. More men were going mad
every minute and it was a terrible
place; pitch dark, grimy, loose coal
underfoOt, coal-dusty air to breathe,
body-f1lth everywhere. Some of the
crazy men howled like dogs. But we
were not as much afraid Of these as
we were Of the others who kept still,
but slipped around in the dark with
Jumps of coal in their hands. We
got SO we would not go near each
other for fear we were running into q
crazy man. Those Of US who were
sane collected as near the f1ddley as
we could, and we would not let the
others get near us, but showed them
back or SHE'D Jumps Of coal at them.
And every once in a while some one
Of US would begin to act queer. May
be he would let out howl suddenly,
without any warning. Or he would
just quit talking and begin to sneak
around. Or he would squat down and
begin to humble. We could not tell
just when q man had begun to lose
his mind. He would seem just like
the rest Of US, because none Of US was
much better than a beast.
We could not take turns sleeping
and standing watch against the crazy
men, because when we talked about
it, we agreed that none Of us could
tell whether or not the sentries would
go crazy while on watch and have the
rest of us at their mercy. It was aw-
full to talk about going crazy in this
way, and to figure that you yourself
might be the next, and that 1t was al
most sure to happen If you did not
get some sleep soon. But it was worse
to find man near you going, and have
to boot him out with the other insane
men.
The days passed like that, with
nothing to do but suffer, and starve
and freeze. It got colder and colder,
and all we could wrap ourselves in
was the coal. We began to speculate
on where we were. It was not till
later than an old skipper In our bunch
told US that we had rounded the north
ern coast of Iceland.
Finally, one day, lad yelled down
Land !" and we all dove for the fid-
dley like wild men, and those who
could get near enough looked out, and
sure enough! there was the coast Of
Norway, very rugged and rocky and
covered with snow. We thought it
was all over then, and that we would
be landed at Bergen sure. Then there
was the usual running around and
yelling on deck, and we were not so
sure we would be landed, and very
suddenly it got colder than ever.
