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

1t is habit of crocodiles to conceal
themselves in burrows in the banks
of rivers, which makes 1t 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 COM
fronted with the task Of taking pic,
lures of crocodlles in Florida.
1t was really exciting, says Mr.;
DimOck, after locating the mouth Of
a crocodile's cave, to hang the noosed
end of a rope in front Of 1t and stand
on the bank above waiting for "bite, :
while my boatman busted himself
thrusting harpOOn pole into tho
earth from ten to twenty feet behind
me. In a 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.

Medicine Label Important.

Medicine should always he poured
out from the side of the bottle oppo-

tlons. The directions are important
or they would not be there, and IL they

mistake is liable to occur. We may

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 hundred years after
ward. There were no race courses nor!
trotting parks and the roads generally;
were so poor that speed was not de-
sirable had 1t been possible with
safety. Oxen were found to be much
better 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
but little grain even when at hard
work. and none at all when in pasture.
They required no expensive harness
like horses, only a cheap yoke and
chain, and were quickly yoked.
Under such circumstances 1t is not
surprising that horses in New Eng
land were not greatly admired or much
petted. A farmer was prouder Of a
yoke Of large. fine red oxen, four years
old. well matched and well broken,
than Of span Of degenerate horses
such as were common at that time in
the country. They We're seldom stabbed
or groomed except when at work every
day. The colts until three years old
were wintered in the yard, in order, II
was supposed, to make them tough and
hardy.

HOW AMERICANS SPEND
MONEY.
America spends on luxuries,
sinful or unnecessary, or both,
such as drink, tobacco, jewelry.
ETC., not less than four billions of
dollars annually. One-tenth of
this sum, directed into missionary
channels, would provide four hun
dred millions of dollars each
year for world evangelization,
without depriving person of a
single comfort of life. Ameri-
can women spend more each year
for artificial flowers than the
church gives for missions. AM
erican men spend as much an
nually for tobacco as the church
has spent in nineteen centuries
for missions. America spends as
much every forty-eight hours for
strong drink as she spends an
nually for missions at home and
abroad.
