MYSTERIES Of Nature.

One Of the most mysterious powers
that close observation has revealed is
the capacity of certain fishes and wa
ter animals to live out of the
water. Some small crustaceans have
been known to lie for 40 years in dried
mud without losing the power OF ac'
lively living when the mud was mois'
tened again. A naturalist visiting
Jerusalem took little mud from the
pool of Gihon, at the Jaffa gate. and
put it in a pill box. 1t lay dry for 40
years. but when some of the dry dust
was put into saucer full of water
It gave rise after a short time to
some lively water fleas. The eel. as
Is we'll known. can travel through
damp grass. There is a tropical tish.
known as the climbing perch. which
has the very curious habit of >cram-
bling. by means Of its pectora: fins,
ND stones, roots. and even the trunks
Of trees. in search of insects on which
It feeds. Still more surprising is the
habit of South African fish, called
Clarias. which is said to make noe
turnal raids on the fields in order to
eat the grains of millet.-CinciRnati

"OPEN YOUR EYES" AT
REX THEATER THURSDAY

"Open Your Eyes," the flaming
photoplay prepared under the super
vision OF the United States Public
Health Service as part of a campaign
for clean nation and a country
made safe for posterity, comes to the
Rex theater on Thursday and Friday.
This picture has Attracted wide atten-
ton, and created a verltable scnsa-
ton among educators and public, OIL
Gals in every city where it has been
shown. In addition to telling throb-
bling, living story of love betrayed,
"Open Your Eyes," is picture with
purpose. Vibrant with dramatic.
power, it gets in under the skin OF
the spectators and while it entertalns
and thrills, it leaves a SOLDERING
thought behind.
Briefly, "Open Your Eyes, is the
story of two girls, both young, beau
tiful and innocent, just budding into
young womanhood. One finds her
mother all that a mother should be.
Her questions arc frankly and scnsi-
bly, answered, and consequently she
is able to avoid the pitfalls that lie
in the pathway of youth. The other,
less fortunate finds her mother too
busy with social duties to listen to
her daughters questions, and when
the lonely girl turns to companions
of her own age for knowledge, she
gets it at first hand from a handsome
"rounder" young in years but old IN
wisdom of the ways of the world.
The contract between the careers
of the two girls, one protected and
shielded from the dangers that lie
about her by wonderful mother;
and the other "going it blind" as
so many young men and women DO IN
life, makes powerful and domantic
story, especially when the "rounder''
after bringing shame and suffering
upon o>e, becomes engaged to the
other. How frankness saves the in
noccnt girl from n terrible fate on
her wedding eve makes one of the
strongest and most thrilling scenes
ever staged. interviewer with this
romentic story is vivid warning to
parents young manhood and young
womanhood.

1umbleWeed.

If one crosses the western prairles
of the great Arkansas valleys, and
happens to be there in the fall, dur
inc high wind, one may see very
strange sight. Antelopes, rabbits
prairie dogs, and sometimes even
herds of cattle racing along the plains
pursued by strange balls, nearly as
fall as a man! These balls, when
seen little nearer, seem to be masses
CT sticks stuck closely together. The
miami that forms these balls is called
the tumbleweed. Botanists call 1t
Cycloma plaIyphylium. 1t belongs to
a genus of plants that grow into 4
thick. round mass of small branches
alta ched to the roots each by a small
stem that. in the fall, becomes dry and
brittle. As the autumn winds sweep
: over the prairie the stems of these
plants so leaping and bounding along
.scattering their seeds as they so. D,
