Lion Cubs are Most Amusing

Young lion cubs are among the prettiest
of the young wild creatures. Soft and Auf-
fly, gentle and winning, with their sturdy
limbs, beautifully formed bodies and heads,
thick powerful paws and fuzzy tails, they
are always attractive and always amusing.
Lion cubs are born with their eyes wide
open, aud from the time of their birth un-
til they are growing fast they new just like
kittens.
The best time to watch them is in the
early morning. They tumble about, paw
each other. run away. hide, peep out from
behind pillars, move along slowly and play
fully in funny little sideway gait, and
then, when close to one another, pretend
to be very frightened, spring away with
backs up in cat fashion, and then 20 through
it all over again. They take vast liberties
with their grave mother, bite her tail, play
with it, jump on her head, put their sharp
claws into her face and, when rewarded oc-
casionally with sharp pat from her paw,
race off and hide.
A lion cub was tied to post in one of
the animal shows. He was only a few
weeks old and the most gentle of creatures.
He took all the pats and caresses with fun
ny little Indifferent air, shut his eyes when
his fur was stroked, blinked sleepily when
he was tickled under the chin, and yawned
when he was tired .-Ex.

Arkansas Large Cave

An immense cave, the largest in Madison
County, and apparently one of the largest
in the State of Arkansas, has been discov-
cred. The cave has been explored distance
of five miles, and many other passages
opened beyond in an intricate and apparent
ly endless procession. Scores of rooms,
some small, but one quarter of an acre in
extent, were explored. There are many
stalagmites and stalacites in every room.
Both are united in several places, forming
wonderful little white columns that stand
sentinel-like near the remains of strange an
imals and heaps of human bones. 1t was
evidently well known in the past and seems
to have been used as a burial spot in primi-
tive times. The sloping skull of man of
vanished race has been found. A swift
subterranean river flows in this cave, and
it is large enough for big boats to float on
its surface. Blind fish are found in its
waters. Yawning chasms of unknown
depth render travel in some portions of the
cave exceedingly dangerous, and one of the
explorers who lost his footing was rescued
with difficulty. Many beautiful basins
worn out of solid rock are found, and
these contain crystal clear pools.-Ex.

How Hailstones Are Formed

The formation of hail through electric
al action, according to one theory, is an in
teresting and even wonderful process. The
wind draws out a cloud into long, narrow
strip. In that form, owing to the great
amount of surface exposed to the air, the
cloud evaporates rapidly, producing intense
cold.
Dry particles of snow are then formed,
and these, by friction with the water drops,
quickly become charged with negative cleo
tricity, and since negative attracts positive
a film of water is for med upon each snow
article and is instantly frozen into a layer
of thin ice.
At this thickness its outer surface remains
moist, the water not freezing so rapidly
there, whereupon the electrical charge
changes from negative to positive and the
particle is repelled by the water drops and
driven to the outer parts of the cloud. Here
the increased cold covers it with snow, and
friction charges it anew with negative elec-
tricity.
Repulsion is now once more changed for
attraction, and the particle rushes back in
to the cloud, receiving upon its surface
another film of water, which is turned into
a second ice layer.
Thus the growing haistone darts zig-zag
through the cloud, piling up its alternate
layers of snow and ice, until gravitation
gains control and sends it with a jingling
crowd"of its fellows spinning to the ground.

Lure of the Open

Oh the gypsy winds from the open ways
They fit through your study window,
Laden with fragrance and beauty-kissed,
Born in the sun and morning mist,
Blythe-hearted vagrants, can you resist
The lure of their wondrous call?
There's quaint brown road that is wind
ing on
The vale and meadows and forests

Come out from the toll of the study pent,
Let the deep blue above be the dome of
your tent,
For from Natures heart the call is sent
On the balmy winds to you.
Come, comrade, and follow the OPEN
By vale and hill meath the summer s

Today leave the study, its problems and

For the glory of mountains, the music of

The raptures that float from a thousand
sweet hooks
Have wonderful gifts for you.

To A Meadow Lark

You wakened me at early morn,
When as from out some silvery horn
Your gurgling notes to me were borne
"Cheer up. be kind, be true.''
My care-free heart that knew no pain
Re-echoed to the glad refrain
Which you sang o'er and o'er again.
"Cheer up, be kind, be true
l pensive sat alone at noon,
Forgotten were your words so soon;
Oh, ease this heart, crave this boon,
Help me be kind and true!
And then l thought heard you say
"You should not grieve. Be glad, be gay
For faith will surely win the day,
Cheer up, be strong and true!
Perhaps you wonder; just as l,
If all unheeded is your cry,
And if tits any use to try
To still be kind and true.
Oh, in this busy worlds great mart,
Dear little bird, you do your part;
You help 10 cheer my aching heart,-

Bears Weigh Very Little
at Birth

Bear cubs have popularity in their
smallness when born, compared with the
size of the adult. Black bears at birth
usually weigh rather less than pound, and
a European brown bear, recently born in a
geological park, weighed slightly less than
eighteen ounces.
Young black bears are generally about
forty days old before they get their eyes
open. Those who have watched bear cubs
in ''the nursery of a geological park will
recall with amusement their funny little
mock fights, their scramblings and wrest-
lings, and the sousing in the tank which
takes place occasionally.
But the most interesting time to see
these baby animals is when they are fed.
Then all play ceases. Each little bear be-
comes at once very serious and goes up to
the front of the den and waits patiently for
his supper. And when the supper is thrown
in-loaves of bread, fish, and so on-then
the true nature of each lit tie bear shows it.
self. They are just like children and quar-
rel among themselves. Some are extremely
greedy, some wildly excited, some spiteful,
but one and all are looking for the same
thing-to get the best for himself.
One little black bear who, in spite of his
most vigorous efforts, did not succeed in
getting a single piece of food for himself,
sat down and considered matters. He look
ed gravely at the others, cried and growled
little to show his disgust and then the
keeper coaxed him to one side and fed him.

A Receipt for Gloomy Day:

When days are dark and gloomy,
And things seem all askew,
Just manufacture sunshine;
Just think of skies all blue.
= Just think of all things cheerful.
And sing happy song,
And hunt up things to laugh about,
To help the days along.
Make those about you cheerful
With merry words and smile,
The clouds can't last forever,
Forget them for while.
So manufacture sunshine,
And defy the gloomy day;
And almost before you know it,
The clouds will pass away.

A Butterfly in the City

Dear transient spirit of the fields
Thou com'st without distrust
To fan the sunshine of the streets
Among the noise and dust.
Thou Ieadest in thy wavering flight
My footsteps unaware,
Until l seem 10 walk the wales
And breath thy native air.
And thou has fed upon the flowers,
And drained their honeyed springs,
Till every tender hue they wore
Is blooming on thy wings.
l bless the fresh and Aowery light
Thou bringest to the town,
But tremble lest the hot turmoil
Hath power to weigh thee down.
For thou art like the poets song,
Arrayed in holiest dyes,
Though it hath drained the hon
eyed wells
Of.howers of Paradise.
Though it hath brought celestial hues
To light the ways of life;
The dust shall weigh its pinions down
Amid the noisy strife.
And yet perchance, some kindred soul
May see its glory shine,
And see its wings within his heart
As bright as l do thine.
