Since the resumption by De Valera Of

there is sloth--a two-toed one-which
can't walk. but hangs all the time by it's
arms. in which unique position 1t eats,
sleeps, converses and attends to all It's
daily affairs. Head Keeper Toomey says
it Is simply "a low grade monkey" with
very poor social standing among the
other monkey families at the Zoo.
\ South American red faced snake

10 the sloth. So great is the ability Of
this snake In destroying rats that Toomey
calls II the farmers friend" and de-
clares that no farmer should be without
one. Along with the snake came n
spotted cavy, a small rodent of just the
sort suited to the snakes taste. IT has
only a rudimentary tail. which is to say
no tail at all. and is fond of burrowns.

Tho campaign against Tic national
troops is rather more intense than K was
against tho Black and Taus. Military
l'lorries driving through the streets Of
Dublin ana other Irish cities are con-
sidered fair marks for bombs and revol-
yer shots. Safety requires tho lorries TO
rush through the city at high speed, and
traffic has to make way for them. Citi-
zens. having learned this, prefer streets
which are not frequented BY the lorTies.
The old danger points in Dublin are re-
appearing. The narrow ncckcd passa &c
known as "the Dardanelles" has been
the scene of repeated bombing. and the

closed for military reasons. and the 400

Only silver and the crickets, and the

And a steamer thinking dim across

And the brea Eing of the backwash

And the white night trembling wide.

Lifts and stirs and lets wind slip
through;
And nqgy the lose wind raps hollow

sAnd tH sea stares a frightened blue.

Soft phosphorus intrigues the hiss

There is no voice, and yet hear a

No hand, and yet / feel a hand!
