New Tertiary Crocodile.

Exceedingly valuable additions have
been made recently to the already ex-
tensive natural history collections OF
the La Plata museum In Buenos Aires,
and vast amount Of neE information
has been gathered by an expedition
that has just returned from three
months geological survey and paleon-
tological study of northern Patagonia
that little-known region Of Argen-
tina that already has shown itself to
be one Of the worlds richest store
houses Of archaeological relics. In
cluded among the specimens brought
back by the expedition is the fossil of
a prehistoric monster of the crocodile
family which appears to be species
hitherto unknown.
This fossil is the almost complete
skeleton Of a reptile that in life
measured more than 40 feet from head
to tail. The fossil was found near the
city Of Rio Negro between the strata
of red sandstone Of the CruStaceouS
age. which crop out all over the upper
Rio Negro valley and along the Neu-
quen and Limay rivers.

German lime in ENGLAND.

The extent to which clocks have
been imported into Great Britain from
Germany during the first four months
of the present year has been remark
able. Out of an aggregate number
of 1,194.732 complete clocks from all
countries. no less than 1,115.614 came
from Germany. or considerably more
than 10000 above the number re-
ceived during the same period in 1913.
while for the same four months Of
1920 the imports of complete clocks
were 6OO,773 and 6S1. .SS2 in 1921.

LIVES OF UNREMITTING TOLL
Chinese Coolies Never Know Respite
From Labor of Pushing BarroWs,
for Bare Existence.

Laborers in America who think they
have a hard life should see these
Chinese coolies. Imagine wheeling
barrow with a four Or five hundred
pound load for hundreds Of miles over
roads difficult to travel even on horse
back!
Usually there are two men to bar
row. The one at the handles, by
means Of a strap over his shoulders,
takes much of the weight from his
arms, leaving his hands more or less
free to guide and balance the load;
the one in front drags it forward with
a ten-foot rope.
Painting and straining, with the
sweat streaming from their halfnaked
bodies; pulling through foot-deep yel-
low dust, lifting over rocks and drag
ging up hills; at night gulping a bowl
Of soup or macaroni and, half dead
with fatigue, falling asleep on the
ground in the inn courtyard among
the pigs, chickens and mules-so they
live, day after day, year in and year
out, with nothing else to look for
ware to.
All this for fifty or sixty coppers a
day, or about eighteen cents in Ameri-
can money. Is it any wonder they
seek oblivion in opium m?-Roy Chapman

MEMORY THAT Is MARVELLOUS
Authentic F.ats Of Bind Musicians
Are Among the Most Remarkable
on Record.

Remarkable feats Of quick memoriz-
ing by blind musicians have been
recorded by the National Institute for
the Blind.
Fred Turner, one Of the most accom-
plished blind musicians in Scotland
recently memorized all of Bachs 81.
Matthew Passion and in four months
trained his choir and accompanied the
entire work on the organ, while Sim
clair Logan. the blind composer ana
organist, memorlzed SOmervells s "lhe
Passion of Christ" fairly compll-
Gated cantata occupying IS minutes IN
rformance-trained his choir and ac-
companied A. highly successful per-
formance in less than two months, dur
ing which he was working under the
stress of other heavy memorization
work for an important recital in Liver
pool for the National Institute for the
Blind. in addition to his normal pro-
feSsional duties.
To carry in the memory Beethoven's
80 pianoforte sonatas, as William VOL
stenholme does, and the entire 4S pre-
ludes and fugues of Bach, as in the
case Of H. " Spanner-two blind mu-
sicians resident In London, would
seem no light achievement, and yet
these form but small portion OF the

Atmospheric Phenomenon.

An unusually perfect and beautiful
example of the atmospheric spo&es
which may occasionally be seen radi-
ating from the setting sun was Wit
messed in England in July last year.
Five distinct bands of light salm%l
pink color. separated by five corre-
spending bands of pale blue. were Wis
ible, stretching up into the heavens
from the sinking sun. The phenomenon
lasted about an hour. and later on the
same evening q violent thunderstorm
broke over the place where the spec
tacle had been witnessed. There are
a number of other instances on record
IN which similar phenomena have been
followed by thunderStorms.

Use Mesmerism In Breaking in Horse

use MeSmerlSm IN 6FedNIH9 ii rloiSSo
The worlds best horseback rider is
said to be ex-Lieut. Pietro HUI
denko, once Of the imperial Russian
hussars and now a waiter at the An
glo-American club of Belgrade, Jugo-
Slavia.
He claims never to have failed to
break and tame the widest horse. He
says he does not use strength and agil-
ity, but mesmerism. He takes a wild
horse, slips halter on its head, passes
q rope twice through its mouth, jumps
on it's back without saddle, gets a
knee grip and lets the horse rear, buck
or run at will. After the horse is tired
he pets it, whispers strange words into
it's ear, words known to few Cos
sacks of the Caspian steppes, and then,
never again, will that horse bite or
kick or disobey a man.
Pietr0 soon is to become trainer ana
horsebreaker for King Alexander.

Once upon a time there lived tn an
Indiana town a maiden whose birth
days had long since passed the ira

lived in the same town another maid
en-, but she was Of the sweet sixteen
variety. These two became fast
friends and they kept close COM
panionship until the Older became
wife, and, eventually, mother for
the first and then second time.
Dissimilar interests led the friends
more and more along different paths
and although now still living in the
same town they seldom meet. Re
Gently the matron, with her two chill
dren, was walking down the street.
Her Younger friend, now, too, well
past the traditional twenty-fifth mile

an office on the opposite side OF the
street. She spied her pal Of other
days and, being In joyous mood, has

THE VALUE OF A SPARROW
Charleston American.

Charleston American.
How startling the words must have
seemed to his audience that day in
Palestine when Jesus pictured a fall
ing sparrow as attracting the atten-
tion of God; Paul thought God didn't
care for oxen. Jesus says he cares
for sparrows. Few in those far off
days imagined that Heaven concern
ed itself with anything so trifing as
an animal.
Only as we put ourselves back in
that distant century and gather with
the crowd of those who listen to the
new teacher on the hillside, or by
the quiet lake, can we understand
how these words about the value of
sparrow must have shocked his au-
dience. 1t seemed quite as amazing
to them as if some one among us
should say, "Not an insect is crushed
beneath your needless foot whose
doom your heavenly Father does not
mark"
What does it all mean? This
that the higher you climb up the lad
der of life, the wider your vision,
the broader your sympathies, the
quicker your response to the need OF
every living thing capable of pain
and pleasure.

on to the multitudinous hosts that in
the sea and on the land live out their
checkered and often tragic careers
of toll and struggle, of war and
peace, no man dare say.
What does the animal ask of us?
Not mercy. Never that. You and |
alone of all Gods creatures must
pray for that. Give us justice, mute

hickory trees are nearly all gone and
the chinquepins are but a memory.

There was fine picnic dinner
served on the long table beneath the

be glad that he had come, and as is
customary at the rural church the
people fingered after the service had
ended and talked of various and sun
dry things and were glad to meet one
another. These gatherings and home
comings are great community helps
and I hope they will be kept up and
that the interest in them may con-

A Sad Death on Milligan Street

On Sunday morning, August 18th,
at eight o'clock, the death angel
claimed Mrs. Louise Cameron after
an illness of two weeks, although she
had been in failing health for the
past year. All that medical skill and
willing hands of loved ones could do
could not stay the hand of death.
She was Miss Louise Long. Born
July 7, 1861, her age being 81 years,
l month and 6 days.
In 1886 she was married to Mr..
John Cameron, he having preceded
her several years ago. Unto this
union were born nine children, of
which the two oldest have already
answered their summons, Come
home"
To know Mrs. Cameron was to love
her as she was a kind, loving moth
er, and a good neighbor and friend to
all, greeting every one with whom
she came in contact with kind words
and loving smiles.
In early life she joined the Baptist
church of which she was a loyal
member until death.
The funeral service was at the
aouse, conducted by Rev. Marlow,
1er pastor being away at the time
IF her death. The body was then
aid to rest at Rosemont where a
.arge crowd of friends and relatives
paid the last respect to her.
She is survived by one sister, Mrs.
+. NJ. Mills; two brothers, Messrs.
Will and Brady Long, all of Prosper
ty. The children that survive her
re as follows: Mrs. Johr baltimore,
drs. Grady Reid, Miss Myrtle Cam
eron, Messrs. Glover, Ollie, Moody
md Clyde Cameron.
Our heart goes out in deepest SYM
oathy. for the loved ones left to
MOURN her death. But let's not think
If her as dead, but only sleeping.
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
from which none ever wake to weep !;
\ calm and undisturbed repose,
Jflbroken by the last of foes.
Asleep in Jesus, peaceful rest,
Whose making is supremely blest!
No fear, no woe shall dim that hour
That manifests the Saviour's pow'r.
Asleep in Jesus, far from thee
Thy kindred ani their graves may
be.
But thine is still blessed sleep,
from which none ever wakes to
weep.
