~ PENGUIN'S EGG MATCHED

For some weeks three of the king pen
gums in the Scottish Geological Park have
been patiently protecting and at the same
time providing the heat required for the
incubation of an egg. In the king penguin
the egg, instead of being laid in nest
and incubated in the usual way, rests from
the first on the upper surface of the feet,
and is so firmly pressed against the lower
legs by an apron-like fold of skin from
the lower abdomen that even when the
Sitting" bird is lifted bodily from the
ground, the egg is seldom dropped.
After about fifty days appeared what
seemed to be healthy normal chick. Even
if the mother penguin, with the help of
her mate, fails to rear the chick it will
not have lived in vain, for it will enable
ornithologists to ascertain, amongst other
things, whether in the king penguin, as
in the ringed penguin, there is natal
as we'll as a Juvenile coat of down. 1t
may be mentioned that the king penguin
lives under less trying conditions than
the great emperor penguin, for while the
latter lives near the Pole, the king never
crosses the Antarctic Circle-two favorite
haunts of the king penguin being South
Georgia and the Macquarie Islands,
about 800 miles southwest of New Zea-
land.-Exehange.

MAMMOTH CAVE DISCOVERED

Mount Tabor Cave, said to be over
100000 years old and located in Ohio, is
described as a mammoth cave in minia-
ture and is admitted to have color effects
from the blending of iron ore and copper
ore that Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, does
not possess. 1t pierces the bowels of the
earth to maximum depth of IS feet and
has over 1900 feet of winding corridors
with arched stone roof, and with kaleido-
scopic colors ever apparent in the freak rock
formations and mineral deposits. Its huge
stalactites resemble giant icicles suspended
from the rock-hewn ceiling of the immense
cavern. Its white crystal stalagmites rise
up like silent sentinels in the somber dark
ness that envelopes the cave and that is
only pierced by the lanterns of sightseers,
while there are many unique rock and
crystal formations. Some of these, in color
and shape, and even in size, strikingly
resemble crackerjack and honeycomb.-Ex.

MYSTERIES OF NORTH CAROLINA

Nowhere else on our continent are more
pronounced evidences found of natures
tremendous cataclysms than in the noun
tain sections of western North Carolina.
Granite powders split in twain as by a
giants hammer, mighty assures torn in
the sides of lofty peaks, beds of streams
upheaved in colossal mounds of jagged
rock, or with great cavernous holes rent
in them-these are seen on every side.
One of the so-called mysteries is the
"bottomless pools" in the far-famed Chin
ney Rock section. The gorge through
which pours the food of Rocky Broad
river is a great assure torn through the
very heart of the mountains. From the
moment the waters enter the head of the
gorge the river becomes a tempestuous
torrent, plunging along bowlder strewn
bed, sending rocks grinding against rocks,
leaping downward in series of cascades
to disappear at length with wild plunge
into the bottomless pools.
No one knows how deep they are. Every
effort to sound them has been with out sue
cess. At the foot of a cataract the first
of these pools presents boiling surface,
from which leaps upward binding
spray, drenching the limbs of trees that
hang high above it. The second pool is
like simmering pot, while over the rim
of the third, or last of the pools, the over
flow trickles with a musical gurgle,
spreading out into shallow crystal
stream that ambles away gently to the
valley beyond the cascades.-Exchange.

BASEBALL

In Saturdays baseball contest, the locals
suffered their second defeat of the season,
losing to the Hudson high school six to
one, in very poorly contested game.
Odenwald who pitched last season in
the Interstate League for Hudson, did
the twirling for the Hudson high school
team and the work he accomplished was
something marvellous. Out of twenty-four
possible put-outs, he struck out nineteen
men, made one put-out and aided in two
assists. In pinches when hits meant
scores he was very successful in striking
out the remaining batsman.
Well, who pitched the first six innings,
had the Hudson boys guessing all the
way and it was only through errors on
the locals defensive work that enabled the
visitors to score off his deliveries.
In the first frame the locals pulled off a
couple of fast infeld plays that was aided
with one strike-out, therefore handing the
visitors a goose egg. This kind of work
was too good to last long for in the second
frame the locals began to loose their
nerve and allowed the visitors to count
twice on errors. Banks the first man up
in this inning was thrown out Eros to
Lob. Kealy got a safe hit and was ad-
vanced to third on Thompson's hit. Bleier
drew pass on balls, filling the bases.
Odenwald tried to dump one in front of
the plate and in doing so .Kealy was
thrown out Well to Bud. Holden cracked
out bounding grounder to short, who in
turn made wild throw to first allowing
two runners to score. O'Rourke struck
out retiring the side. Nothing more of
any importance happened until the open
ing of the sixth chapter. Kealy the first
man up in this frame went out on pop
fly to Bud. Thompson went out on line
drive to ON. ,Bleier was passed on balls.
Odenwald was safe when Eros fumbled
his grounder and both runners were adj
vanced one peg each on wild throw to
first. Holden clouts out one for three sta
tons, scoring Bleier and Odenwald.
O'Rourke was thrown out Bona to Lob.
The seventh frame was duplicate of the
sixth. The visitors getting two more
scores on base hit, pass on balls and
a couple of errors. This ended the WISH
tors scoring due no doubt to their inability
to connect with the ball in the eighth
frame.
The locals during their terms at bat
had several prospective scores waiting
upon third base for the hit that would
bring them home. But alas these hits
failed to mature. In the second inning
the locals had runners on second and
third bases but the following batsman
was unable to produce a hit so these
chances faded away on thin air. In the
third inning the locals managed to get
one man to complete the circuit. Well the
first man up drew base on balls and
was passed on to second and third by
Larson's errors. Burn and Eros struck
out. ON landed on one for two stations
scoring Well. Hick drew pass but Bud
