Real Sea serpents.

The Indian ocean and the waters
OF the tropical Pacific are inhabited
by great number of wholly aquatic.
veritnble sea serpents that possess
deadly fnngs. and sometimes swim In
schools OF countless thousands. These
snakes have paddle-like tail to as
sist them in swimming. An offshoot
or this species is the sub-family con.
tnining the formidable cobras and their
allies, according to Raymond Ditmars,
curntor OF reptiles at the New York
700. who are treacherously deceptive
In appearance. All OF the very large
serpents are members of single fam.
ily-thc Boldea. None is poison ous,
and the members OF this family kill
their prey by construction.

...-s HAVE VARIOUS NAMES
Get cognomens From Habits or PIv.
mage Though Not Infrequentiy
From Song or Call.

Birds are given various names in
various parts of the country; some
get these names from their habits,
others from their plumage, while the
song, or call. In other cases is resl.On-
sible for the nickname of the bird, ac-
cording to London Answers.
The cuckoo has two mates. The
meadow pippit is known as the cue
kOo's mate in some parts of the coun-
try. because of its habit OF always ac-
companying the cuckoo from place to
place throughout Its stay in this coun-
try. The wryneck gets the same name
for a different reason. 1t arrives in
the country about the same time, or a
FEW days earlier than the cuckoo, and
therefore the name has been given 1t.
Little Observation-Disclosures" is per-
maps rather mOuthful, but the maine
Is given to the yellow bunting on ac-
count of the fact that It's simple song
resembles these words more than any,
thing else in the world.
"Yaffle' is the name given to that
laughing bird of the woods, the green
woodpecker, also known by the less
cheerful cogncmen of rain bird, be-
cause whenever it laughs the glass
goes back and the rain comes down.
In other words, the laugh of the green
woodpecker, like the "hee-haw" of the
donkey, is considered by many to be
sure sign of wet weather.
The whitethroat has habit of
creeping along the lower parts of the
hedges, where the nettles grow. and
therefore 1t has acquired for itself the
name Of 'nettle creeper."

Gruesome Find.

An extraordinary story comes from
Shanghai (Chinn) of find by some
railway men mt Hardin. A box car ad-
dressed to Colonel Bulikoff, who is the
Russian representative at Hailar, was
opened and found to contain apparent
ly bags OF -four and tirewood. Under
meath these were found eight caskets,
each one duly labeled, six bearing the
names of grand dukes and duchesses
and the other two the name of priest
and a valet OF one of the grand dukes.
To make sure there was no ruse, one
cnsket was opened and body re.
vealed. In addition to the names of
the dead there was also written who
had killed them and where. The ques-
ton is being asked who had forward
ed these bodies and for what reason,
and where they were ultimately des-
tined to be sent. In these days when
railwaymen expect to find hidden away
gold, jewels and other precious met
ais, to be confronted with caskets con-
tanning murdered persons is indeed a
gruesome and unwelcome hnd.

If the ship arrives at Bermuda by

through the tortuous channel between
sharp-fanged reefs toward Hamilton.
Perhaps nowhere else in all the
world is there such glOriously tinted

sapphire nearer shore, opalescent tur-

with royal purple and amethyst where

women's Rights in China.

A paternal government in the prov
ince of Hupeh, China, is endeavoring
by official action to bring the women
to order and reason, in the matter of
clothes. "Women and girls are not
permitted to wear extraordinary
Clothes" runs the official order which
the police have been Instructed to en-
force. "The women's dresses, which
were generally adopted by the Chinese
gentle sex previous to the first revOlu-
ton in 1911, are better suited to young
women because they are not too short
or too narrow. and they should be
used again." The official order gives
further particulars of the abuses which
1t alleges have taken place by which,
in the matter of clothes, 1t Is not pos
sible to distinguish the Chinese women
Of respectable and good families from
those who are not" But the signifi-
canoe of this solicitude on the part OF
the military governor Of Hupeh Is
found in the part of the, order which
states that the Importance Of bearing
and clothes is to be recognized, sin
view of the fact that women are play
ing an important part in modern poll
ties in western countries, and there Is
sufficient reason to believe that this
awakening Of the gentle sex will soon
be extended to the far East"

In some of the Spanish speaking
countries, such as Chile and the Ar
gentine, tires are known as "neumati-
cos" In Mexico they are 'llanias." 4"
In other places where Spanish is the
language, notably Cuba. the correct
word Is "gomas." In Brazil, where
Portuguese Is spoken, the name Is
''pneumaticOs."
The French have the short name
"pneus" for tires" This Is a contrac-
tion of pneumatiques. In practically
all the Scandinavian countries the
Danish word "gummriginger"-ru

Making a Citizen.

You make the citizen by giving him
intelligence. He must learn to see
things as they are. He must also learn
to see the possibilities and rise in
power to put them TO the test. There
Is no place for the coward In the march
Of progress. We need men, "brave
men. who dare while others fly" And
this means they must have brains and
Drawn with which to fight life's battles
and hold their own in the world And
to intelligence we must add constancy.
1t avalls little to be brilliant II you
haven't the power to stick to your job
until you make a success of II. Per-
sistence will help you win. when you
put your head to work. These are the
first things in the making of citizens.

together to produce it.-Grit.

HAVE ANIMALS SIXTH SENSE?
Hard Otherwise to Explain How Wild
Beasts Knew That the Great
War Was Over.

Frightened by the noises Of battle
the wild beasts of East. Central and
West Central Africa went scurrying
north and south, travelling sometimes
hundreds of miles In their fright and
taking refuge In localities entirely new
to them.
But just as the ruins of northern
France huve drawn human beings back
to them-men and women who dwelt
there before the German occupation,
home has claimed the wild animals
and most of them are now back in
their native haunts.
How did the wild beast know that
the war was over?
The elephant. gorilla, giraffe, ante
lope, buffalo, rhinoceros. lion. leopard
and porcupine are certainly all per.
fectly aware of the fact!
Human beings have their various
avenues Of sending news, chief among
these the newspapers, the post and
the telegraph.
Whatever the method of communica-
ton, the wild animals certainly got
the news quickly.
Peace was no sooner accomplished
than the African natives began to see
the homeward migration Of whole
companies Of wild beasts through their
territories, animals never familiar
in these particular communities and
obviously passing through.
Four years previously they had
come crashing through the under
brush, bound in an opposite direction.
They were in great haste then and pos
sessed of fear; and pachyderms and
carnivora Travelled together, the age
old war of the jungle forgotten in
common plight.
Birds may become accustomed to
the sound of firing, but wild animals
loathe it. Fear of strange noises is
instructive with them. Animals born
in captivity invariably show this in
stinctive dread. And it is we'll
known fact in geological parks that
apes can be controlled instantly by
the display of musket, even when
as far as is known they have never
seen one spit fire.

Color Blindness.

II may come as surprise to many
to learn that fewer than fifty-five peo-
pie In every thousand are more or
less colOr-blind. The commonest form
of cOlor-blindness is not-as Is usually
supposed-the inability to distinguish
red and green. That affects one per-
son In fifty-fve. The most usual
symptom Is to get mixed between blue
and green. One person in sixty can
not distinguish between brown and
green. Color-bllndness Is more com.
mon among educated than among un-
educated people, and is far more usud1
among men than women. Only about
one woman in thousand is badly
color-blind. A very odd fact is that
musicians are more liable to this affec-
tfon than any other class or profes-
sion. Illness may cause color-blind.
ness. There Is case of n woman
who became entirely color-blind after
form of ear disease while a signal
man who had suffered from lock. law
or tctanus became equally unable to
distinguish color.

ABSURD NAMES WORK HARM
May Be witty, But They Too Frs.
quently Tend to Put Community
In Disrepute.

Freakish and absurd names given
to communities, villages and counties
by some waggish wit in the primitive
times, have way Of persisting. cling
ing to the community, so that 1t Is
most difficult to get rid of them when
new people have succeeded to resi-
dence there. Some Of these absurd
names are so ridiculous they harm the
community, tending at all times to put
1t in disrepute, make 1t Jest and
byword.
All over the country are to be found
places where the old-time wit left his
contribution of harmful levity, against
which the community struggles. In
the northern part of Missouri was a
little community that was given, In
the days before the war, the rather
name grew out of an incident that
took place when some big-game hunt
ers were encamped at the settlement.
The name appealed to the risibilities
of the community and for two genera
tions 1t was compelled to bear that
name. 1t had small degree of COM

AMERICANS ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members Of the
"Fourteenth" Division.

Among the most enthusin site and
energetic members Of the American
Red Cross nre those citizens Of the
United States who live outside the
continental boundaries Of their country
SONS and daughters OF the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners OF
the earth.
These people compose the Insular
and Foreign Division Of the parent or.
ganizaton. generally known as the
Fourteenth" Division, which has
Jurisdiction of all territory outside
the country proper; that is. Alaska,
Porto Rico, Hawaii. Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam. and even the is
land Of zap. which came under our
flag as a result of the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
30,S0S paid up members.
The main object of this division IL
to give our citizens everywhere the op-
portunlty to participate in the work
Of the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
In far places Intensely loyal and pm
triotic, treasure their membership In
the Red Cross as the outward ex.
preston Of their citizenship. 1t Is an.
other tie to the homeland and to
each other. There are chapters Of
this division In Argentine, Bolivia,
Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa
RIca, Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, England, France, Guam.
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
Topon Nofhnrlopty Nica.
ragua, Paraguay, Peru. Philippines,
Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Syria. Turkey, Uruguay.
Venezuela and Virgin Islands
During the war these scattered
members of the Red Cross contrib
uted millions in money, and millions
Of dollars worth of necessary articles
for the men In service, and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service In their respective
communities for the families Of those
who had gone to war, and in some re-
gions gave large sums Of money and
immeasurable personal service to the
relief Of disaster and disease victims.
The division Is now establishing
service clubs in foreign ports for the
benefit of sailors In the American Mer-
chant Marine. making plans to aid
Americans in trouble In foreign lands
and completing arrangements for CIV
Ing immediate adequate relief In case
Of disaster.
