BROUGHT BACK PYGMY HIPPO

1t seems incredible. but there exist
hippopotami that do not exceed 30
Inches In height. For long while no.
body believed that there were any
pygmy hippOs in Liberia. The natives
insisted that the Hippopotamus LIB
eriensis lived deep in the forests; but
that was another reason why explorers
and hunters shook their heads in In
credulity. The hippopotamus lives
along the rivers, they said, and this
talk about pygmies of this species In
the forests Is nonsense.
Nevertheless pygmy hippo was
caught as far back as 1873, and
brought from Africa to the geological
gardens in Dublin. 1t might have con-

Camouflaoe Would Save Shin,

A submarine can spot ship five
miles away. estimate its course, sub
merge and later intercept it. But this
ship might have keel painted fifty
feet down its side and the actual keel
blocked out. This would give 1t the
appearance OF travelling In course
that was quite off the actual course
The calculations OF the submarine
would be quite wrong and the ship
would not be intercepted at all. 1t
would be saved by the deception Of It's
camouflage.

Modern Geneva is an exceedingly attractive city,

Lake Geneva, which here narrows and pours out
into the Rhone which is shortly joined by the
Arve. The Rhone is crossed by nine fine bridges
which join the old town on the left bank, with the

Continued from last week.
The bread was hard and dark. and
I really think they made it from trees.
It had just exactly the same smell
that the dirt around trees has.
We filed past the sentries single file'
to get our ration of this mud, and
there was no chance of getting in line
twice, for we had to keep on filing
until we were out in the road. and
stand there in the snow to eat it. We
could not go back in the barracks un-
til every man had been served.
Our meals were like this: A can Of
barley coffee in the morning; cabbage
soup, so called. ut noon: a tenth of a
loaf of bread at 3 p. m. That was
our menu day in and day out, the
kaiser's birthday, Ltncoln's, May day,
or any other time.
This cabbage soup was great idea.
We called it shadow soup. because the
boys claimed they made it by hanging
q cabbage over q barrel of water and
letting the shadow fall on the water.
We pretended, too, that if you found
any cabbage in it, you could take your
dish back for second helping. But
I never saw anybody get more than
one dishful. All it was, was just
spoiled water.
