One morning, when the boy aud girl
auimals awakened in their Woodland
homes, they saw little covering of
snow on the ground. 1T was not a
great deal, for Jack Frost just sent
down small sample of the white
flakes.
"I'll try them and see how they
look,D laughed Jack Frost to himself.
"Soon it will be winter and III be
sitting down many a storm of snow.
But now IN just give them wee
bit.'
But this "wce Bit as Jack Frost
called it, was enough to make Johnnie
and Billie Bushytail, the squirrels,
squeal with delight. AS for Jackie and
Pcie Bow Wow, the puppy dog chaps,
they barkcd, wagged their tails and
then began tumbling over each other
in the snow.
"Come on, Jackie!' barkcd Poetic.
"Wc III have sliding down hill coast
before school,
"Have we time to get out our
sleds?" asked Jackie.
For the snow had come rather early
--evcn before Thanksgiving-and none
of the animal children had thought to
get out their slcds or skates as yet.
"We can coast down hill on piece
of board-anything to have little

CALLED ON FOR MUCH WORK
Amount Of Labor Performed BY the
Human Heart 10 Almost Beyond
Power OF Description.

The heart Of one man in lifetime
pumps as much blood through the body
as the blood weight Of the 10000, 900
men killed during the war, according
to DR.. J. Plesch, professor in the
Berlin Medical school, an authority on
blood circulation and the first man to
perfect a system for measuring the
blood content Of the human body.
(. 1.-THE heart Of man weighing 1873
pounds and living sixty years." he said,
pumps during the course Of his life
161, 100000 quarts Of blood. The World
war cost 100000 lives. Estimating
the average weight Of mans body at
1873 pounds and the weight of the blood
content at 5 per cent of the total, some
21,4OO,OOO quarts of blood We're shed
during the war;

sHRIMP's EARS IN HIS LEGS
Here's How One May Tell Difference
Between Him and His
Cousin, the Prawn.

Are shrimps insects? The question
Is often asked by those who see these
active little creatures alive for the
first time.
Insects have six legs, but the shrimp
has no fewer than "a. He is a crus-
tacean-frst cousin of the crab, the
lobster and the crayfish.
Many Of the "shrimps" that one
sees in shops are prawns. You can
tell one from the other by looking at
the head, says the Detroit News. The
praWn has long sharp-pointed horn
edged with teeth like those Of a saw.
Prawns turn pink when they are
boiled, but shrimps become brown in
color.
The eyes Of a shrimp are easy to
see since they stand out on stalks,
but you might search for some time
if you wish to discover his ears, for
he keeps them in a very odd place.
His ears are in his knees. At the
first joint Of his first pair of legs,
which by the way, are not used for
walking, is little bag which contains
minute drop Of water, and this wa.
terrified bag acts as an eardrum.

Liquid Air to Crack Hard Nuts.

The chicha nuts from South Amer.
lea have some excellent qualities, but
1t has never been found possible to
crack the shells without damaging the
meat at the same time. United States
government authorities applied liquid
air to the problem. They did not
freeze solid piece of rubber and use
it as a hammer, as is done in the
classic experiment in physics, but they
simply immersed the nuts in liquid air
for 30 seconds and cracked them easily
without damage to the kernels. Now
the physicists are trying to ind out
whether this method can be applied
commercially on large scale. Chicha
nuts were used during the war to
make charcoal for gas masks and the
Oil from the kernels is valuable food

muzzle-loading iron gun, four and a

of two and half inches, several
broken sword scabbards, and a large
salver, possibly silver, which has been
taken to experts in London for assay.
In addition, there were brought up
almost daily during the past fortnight
stout timbers Of the old Spanish Ar

preservation. These finds have been
added to by the recovery of bronze

NOT EASY TO TRACE ROSARY
Probabilities, However, Are That It
First Was Brought Into Use In
Arabia or Egypt.

1t is not at all likely, think, that
the use Of prayer beads originated In
Arabia or Egypt. It is to India that
we must go for the home Of this relig-
ious device-India, "the mother of re-
ligions,' the land where the gods OUT
number the people and where the
people carry their zeal to the point
of intoxication. There is convincing
evidence that the rosary existed in
India long before it appeared in other
parts Of the world. At some remote
PERIOD when the Vedas were still in
vogue, the circlet Of jewels or beads
arose as means Of promoting medi-
tation and registering meritorious
acts. It may be seen in multifarious
coils about the necks Of the gurus Of
today, Cornelius H. Patton writes in
Asia Magazine.
Starting from India, we may clearly
trace the spread of the rosary to the
Buddhists Of Ceylon, Burma and Siam,
known as the Southern school, and
especially to Tibet, where in Lama
ism the faith of Gautama reached it's
lowest level, and whence the rosary,
along with other customs, spread to
China, Korea and Japan.
The Mohammedans may easily have
taken over the rosary through their
contacts with India, or else, as seems
more likely, they learned its use from
herm1ts and monks Of the Eastern or
Greek church through their earlier
contacts in Palestine Syria and north
ern Africa. The oriental Christians,
in turn may have taken over the de-
vice from the Indians by way of Per-
s1a and the caravan routes Of the
East. If we could say with certainty
that the Roman church borrowed the
Idea from the successors of Mahomet
during the Crusades, the claim Of de-
Yelopment would be logical and COM
plete
We must not rule out, however, the
possibility that this aid to prayer
sprang up spontaneously in different
parts of the earth, under the pressure
OF the need Of the human heart,
everywhere the same. My own opin-
lon was adopted both imitatively and
spontaneously. Throughout the Bud
dh1st world it was clearly copied from
India. In the Christian and Moham-
medan worlds it appears to have had
an independent origin, but to have
owed somewhat to the borrowing
process incident to travel and trade.
