larger than goose egg and chalky white.
The eggs of the blue heron or crane are
a beautiful blue, almost like those Of the
robin, but Of course much larger. Those
of the cormorant are white, with tiny
freckles of rusty brown.
Thousands Of young seagulls, looking
almost like young barnyard chicks but
with longer. sharper beaks, scramble from
the path of the intruder and squawk
feebly If too young to scamper to safety.
The strangest sight Of all Is presented
by the fiocks of young pelicans, which act
like so many sheep. Great, ungainly
bodied, butter fat, so clumsy that they
can scarcely waddle out of the way, these
young birds flock In droves. With their
long yellow beaks, sharp as sword points,
they would be able but for their clumsi.
ness and helplessness to make 1t ex-
tremely uncomfortable for any man. But
they are so helpless that they may be
herded together like sheep and driven at
will across the sand and in the sage
brush.
When these ungainly birds are pursued
they disgorge the contents of their
pouches. 1t has been charged that the
pelicans destroy many trout, bass and
other game fish, but among the thousands
of dead fish one sees on Hat Island there
will be found less than dozen trout or
bass.
AS the sun nears the western rim of
the lake an uproar Is heard Far away to
the northeast specks are seen in the air.
They are the adult pelicans returning
from the mouth Of the Jordan River or
from Bear River, fifty and seventy miles
distant, laden with fish for the young.
Their pouches are distended with carp
and other fish, and the young pelicans,
always hungry, set up maddening screams
when they see the old birds approaching.
The cormorants are as numerous on
Hat Island as the gulls and pelicans.
The cormorant is famous fisherman, and
although he has "gripsack" beneath
his bill like the pelican he carries great
carp across the seemingly limitless ex.
panse OF brine to HIS young. They, like
the young OF the pelicans, are fat as
butter balls.

Ever since can remember / have
been an advocate of the simple life. The
frills in life are the things that make
men and women lose the grace and agility
of their youth. History will prove my
theory and my case proves my belief.
Look at the Romans and the Greeks!
Why, in the days when they were hardy,
simple living warriors they were the
greatest nations in the world.
1T was when the women of those times
bring their boys up to lead luxurious,
pampered lives that Greece took her flop
When the Romans began to stage all
night parties, go to afternoon teas and
little red wagon stalled and there wasn't
a man in Rome able to crank 1t up again.

Crabs That Steal Eggs and Children!

Indian Ocean and Eastern waters This crustacean
often seen on the shores of islands, and some
times although seldom by day, climbing UP the
palm to steal the fruit, is between crab and q
lobster.

ging them to the mouth of it's burrow among the tree
roots, peeling them and eating the almond lining
The sepoys-so called from the blue and white uni
form Of the soldiers (Sepoys) Of the old East Indian
Company-about two feet long, not feared by the
natives, who put their arms into their holes and
seizing the claws In a bunch whip them suddenly
But they speak with awe of the rare monster crabs
that exceed three feet in length, and of them
said to have stolen child. This story is told
not only in the islands of the Mauritius and Of Diego
Garcia but far apart Lord Hoods Island in the
Pacific, where the sepoy is also found.

cleared ground from which the crabs have not been
thoroughly cleared out.
These land crabs destroy vegetation and re-
sponsible for frequent patches of bare soil in the
bush, which, when the crabs are gone, soon become
covered again. Into their holes they take things for
which they cannot conceivably find any use-a knife,
a boot book and any tools they find lying about.
During the drer months in the earlier part Of the
year they go underground to change their shells, and
add their destrucveness by thoroughly barricadng
the mouths of their burrows with all sorts of rubbish

T HAT is probably the most densely
populated rookery in the world

M populated rookery in the world
is Hat Island, In the Great Salt
Lake. Too remote from the mainland to
be disturbed save by the passing boat
parties, on rocky mountain top that
juts a hundred feet above the brine, with
not drop of fresh water to be found and
where there is nothing to excite the cupid
ity or commercial instinct of man, these
birds make their home.
The island can be seen at distance Of
ten miles, rising like a cooked hat out Of
the sapphire of the inland sea. AS one
nears "the Hat" great pelicans with their
enormous pouches showing distinctly
circle near the craft and settle lazily into
the water. Seagulls, at first singly then
in pairs, and finally by hundreds, also
join in the reception" AS the boat
comes to rest in little cove Of the island
tens of thousands of shrieking, screaming
birds fill the air. The birds are utterly
fearless. Protected as they are by the
laws OF the State, they have had little
cause to fear man and his death dealing
weapons.
The air is literally alive with birds
beautiful white crested seagulls, tern
gulls, darker and more slenderly built
but larger than the other gulls; blue
herons, commonly called blue cranes;
focks of huge, unwieldy pelicans that
measure six to nine feet from tip to tip
when full grown, and an occasional cor
morant. They rise from the ground when
man approaches, deserting their nests
and their young, and circle in living
cloud.
II is necessary to exercise the greatest
care to avoid stepping on the nests and
eggs Of the tens of thousands OF sea fowl
that have established their rookeries on
that islet OF twelve acres. The eggs Of
the gull, colored like those of the English
sparrow but almost as large as those Of
the chickens, are found by the hundreds
in the hot, white sand, with no protection
from the elements. There are eggs OF the
tern gull, too, a little larger and darker
than those OF the ordinary gull.
Then, too, there are the pelican eggs,

- OR many months I have wondered
how Gwendolyn, my blonde pig,
managed to preserve the youthful
lines Of her figure. She is no longer a
naive young thing. While have never
approached her on the subject of age, l
gather now and then from remarks she
casts that Gwendolyn has arrived at the
age of discretion. AS matter of strict
fact, there is sense of delicacy and a
mean of reserve about this particular pig
that has always robbed me of the
requisite nerve to bring on anything but
the most conventional conversations be-
tween us.
Now If she was of the modern f1apper
class and dashed around with bobbed
hair and college boys scarfs instead of
affecting old fashioned coiffures and mod

any hesitancy about discussing with her
such intimate subjects as age or the
secret behind the preservation of her
figure. But she is not!
