Elv Has Natural Trap.

A peculiar traplike appendage, called
a mask, enables the young dragon fly
to capture the mosquito wriggler on
which it feeds. The mask consists
of a jointed, articulated arm that is
attached to the under side OF the
head. At the extremity Of this arm
is the mask proper, which consists of
two folding parts like hands, each of
which is provided with row Of small
sharp teeth on it's outer edge.
When a tiny insect passes within
reach of the young dragon fly it
suddenly thrusts out the mask, grasps
the insect within it and backs it into
the mouth. When this organ is not
in use it folds back over the head,
covering it like mask.
The young dragon fly lives in ponds
and streams; and as 1t is very slow
moving. this trap is it's salvation.

How Black Cats Got Bad Repute.

The origin of the superstitious aver
sion to black cats is believed to date
back 900 years to the Sevennes noun
tain district of France. At that time
one william, abbot of monastery be-
side the river Herault, and before then
a warrior in the Crusades, decided to
build bridge across the swift, noun
tain stream. But as fast as the fOun-
dations for the piers were put down
they we're swept away by the torrent.
He persisted for a long time and final
ly decided that his lack of success was
due to interference by the devil.
He is supposed then to have invoked
the Evil One and made compact
with him by the terms of which the
abbot would complete the bridge, but
the first animal to cross it would be-
long thereafter to the devil. So 1t
came about, and the first animal to
cross the bridge was black cat.

BELIEF HAS A FOUNDATION

qether FalIacy.

The seventh child Of a seventh child
(sometimes 1.-THE seventh son Of a
seventh sony is supposed to be gifted
with the power of curing headaches and
more serious ailments by the laying on
of hands, and to have other magical
powers. In other words, he is supposed
to have gift"
Among the later discoveries in
eugenics was that the younger chill
dren of very intelligent men Inherited
more of their fathers intelligence than
did the older children; or, as sometimes
happened, that the children of a
younger son were supremely gifted
with intelligence. The reason for this
according to eugenic theories-is that
talented men or women, like many
others, usually marry when fairly
young If they marry at all. The older
children of such talented man have
therefore the tendency to inherit only
what mental qualities he may have de-
veloped at that time,
But sapposing that the talented man,
as is usually the case, continues to de-
velop amazing mental qualities, then if
he has children when his brain is COM
pleteiy mature, those children will
probably inherit their fathers matured
mentality; or, if they do not inherit 1t,
their children (the clever mans grand
children) receive the inheritance.

FEW WALKERS IN AUSTRALIA
Like Our Own West Of Some
Years Ago.

There was once a gay French hu-
morist, Max O'Rell, who arrived in
Australia on hot day and straight
way declared that the chief occupa-
ton of the people was holding up
lamp posts. The adherence which
pursued that Partisan would pale be-
side the indignation which would
overwhelm the man who dared to de-
clare that the Australian is conserva-
tive, and this in spite of the persist
ence Of the galvanized iron roofs Of
early Queensland, the determination
with which the black bowler hat
still clings to progressive heads in
Pitt or George street, Sydney, and
the universal rule from Cooktown to
Kalgoorlie Of the good old roast beef.
All Of which is intended to prepare
us for the story retold. in the Sydney
Morning Herald, the widest read and
most conservative journal in all Aus
tralasia, Of the young Englishman in
Rolf Bolderwood's novel who was in
vited to visit New South Wales sta
ton seventy years ago, and innocently
resolved to walk part of the way and
see the country. After many unhappy
misunderstanding rejecting on his
right to be at large, the visitor Dor

That story would be in keeping to-
day. with the exception that the

partly replaced the horse.

this should be called. From time in
the beginning the naughty male has
inveighed against the once so much
meeker half, and above all for her
habit of being late She was never
late occasionally or off and on, or even
most of the time. You could always
count upon her being late Some said
it depended on the promptness with
which you arrived, her hardness being
proportional thereto.
But these were ISLANDERS ever. No,
she was late without exception. And
she had her reasons.
MANS natural habitat" says Gene
We've, "is the street corner, the curb
stone club. Woman's is the home Man
stares. Woman is stared at. Man
blandishes.. Woman bushes. A man
can stand on the curb for an hour or
more without embarrassment. But a
woman is conspicuous, no matter where
she is and a veritable cynosure when
alone. In fact, don't think it's too
much to say that nothing is noticed so
quickly as an attractive and unescorted
woman. That is why, when she makes
an engagement to meet you at stated
place, she Is sure to be at least fifteen
minutes late. 1t is all due to her dread
Of being compelled to wait-and be
stared at. Oh, Of course, we love to be
admired. But that's different. And
