TR1XIE and Topsy, the ponies, were
L neighing and squealing excitedly in
their stable. They made so much noise
they awakened Jack and Janet. The
children hoped out Of bed and ran to
their windows.
"What is the nntter?' cried Janet.
"The ponies are arguing over somc-
thing" replied Jnck. "Listen!"
AS they listened the neighs and
squeals turned into words.
II tell you smell an elephant"
declared Trixie.
"And tell you smell lion :"
argued Topsy.
'There is tiger with the elephant"
persisted Trixie.
Nonsense, 1t is n monkey with the
lion. ] Gun smell 1t as plain a. hay"
squealcd Topsy.
Jack and Janet didn't know what to
make out Of this talk. They couldn't
see Il sign Of an elephant, or a lion,
or tiger, or a monkey. And besides
how could IN elephant. a lion. a tiger
and monkey get away up there in the
Great Woods? Such animals lived in
Africa and Asia. not in America. Their
lessons nt school had taught Jack and
Janet that.
But still Trixie and Topsy kept up

Used saered Rods.
One Of the means used by the
early priesthoods. to impress the
masses, It was explained. was the
secrecy attending the determining
Of the seasons and years. Sacred
rods used to measure the shadows
BY which the time Of year was de-
termined.. were jealousy guarded.
and when, on the set date, the
priests measured out on the ground
the lengths of the shadows, the
creamery was accompanied by great
show.
Today, in Borneo, expert calen-
dar makers among the Dyaks have
secret measuring poles. They
travel over the country setting up
measuring rods and setting in the
ground pegs at certain distances
by the secret rods. They tell the
farmers to plant, cultivate or reap
when the>pole's shadow touches
certain pegs in the middle of the
day. At the end of the harvest they
return and gather the tithes of the
crops which are their fees.
So accurate were the measure
ments of the early Egyptian astron-
omers, according to the writer, that
they were able to determine to the
third decimal point the exact
length of the year, which they set
at 365.242 days.

Pyr1mfds Solved Problem.
According to Mr.. Cotsworti J
theory, the early Egyptians were'
faced with the need OF maintain
ing and increasing their population
to ward off invasion by the Assy-
rians on the north and the Ethiop-
ians on the south. To do SO they
had to Increase their flood sup
plies. AS no more tillable land was
available it was up to them to in
crease the yield of their lands BY
intensive and careful farming. II
was then necessary to know just
exactly when to sew and when 20
reap, and such intensive crops
could only be developed by locat-
ing the precise points in the sea-
sons.
Precise knowledge depended up
on study of the sun, and as the
Egyptians had neither telescope
nor sun glass observation of sha-
dows was developed. To have bet
ter shadows the pyramid was gra l.
ually evolved as a huge sun dial,
and the need was fulfilled. Three
crops of certain grains are still
harvested in Egypt

Wild Parsnip "sulcide Plant"

The wild parsnip" is best known
as 'water hemlock," and other COM
mon names for it are spotted hemlock,
beaver poison, musquash root, cow
bane and spotted cowbane. Sew
eral species of the water hem
lock grow commonly in Canada.
Parts of some of these are deadly in
their effects. This fact was well
known to the Indian, by whom the
root, the most poisonous part, was
sometimes used for self-destruction,
being very rapid In its action. 1t was
known to the Indians as the suicide
plant" The roots have a sweetish and
not unpleasant taste and a rather
parsnip-like odor. Cases have been re-
ported of horses being killed by eating
roots upturned by the pillow. Animals
have also been reported to have been
poisoned, especially in the spring, By
drinking water from wet places where
the water hemlock existed.
