years old, whose family occupy
the Archie Roosevelt home on
Turkey lane, Cold Spring Har-

climbed out of dormer window

serted himself in a brick Chin

He slid down twenty feet in
side the chimney and brought
up where the flue took an elbow
turn. His sleep wasn't inter-
rupted.
When he woke in the morn

roundings. He beat on the
walls and shouted. Presently
persons in the house heard him
and located where his voice came
from.
The fire department worked
an hour in vain to release him.
Finally they tore the bottom
Of the chimney out and freed
Coffin, who appeared unaffected.

explained part of the secret. It

Wherever the Marsupials have
come into competition with the

forever, and will probably continue
until the Marsupials are wiped from

Many authorities have devoted
themselves to the study Of the evolu-

Over and over again, isolated from

creatures have developed. These
