but an elephant or another rhiro
would get out OF the way Of one ot
these investigating rushes. and. OF
course, an elephant or another rhino
is big enough even for rhino's poor
eyes to see before he gets Into
trouble.
The coming Of the white man with
the ride upset all this. but the rhino
has learned less about protecting him
self from man than the other AMI
mails. But man went ever farther
In breaking the rules OF 4'ilino ex-
istence. The railroad was an even
rhino furnished some of the comedy
of the invasion of the game country
by the Uganda railway. In the early
days OF that road friend of mine
was on the train one day when a
rhino charged It. The train was
standing still out In the middle Of the
plain.
An old rhiuo either hearing IL or
smelling man. set out on the custom
ary charge. The train didn't move
and he didn't swerve. He hit the run
ming board OF one car at full speed.
There was a terrific jolt. Ny friend
rushed to the platform. AS he reached
1t the rhino was getting up off his
knees. He seemed little groggy.
but he trotted Oft, conscious. perhaps.
that railroad trains cannot be routed
by the rhino's traditional method OF
attack.

All highly perishable food purchased

posed to purchasing a refrigerated

probably still highly feverish from

Turkeys do not reach economical

plentiful until about that date. From
| this it may be gathered that they are
not subject to refrigeration for q
period of more than four weeks be-

Having read thus far. you are now

Some buyers object to biack-feath-

a white skin in a white e-plumaged
bird. AS a matter of fact, all turkeys
dress with a decided tiRge OF yellow

Use of Litmus Paper.

THE coloring principle of litmus.
the matter or substance obtained
from certain lichens by exposing them
to the air in the presence OF am
monia and potassium carbonate, is a
red acid. but the color of its salts is
blue.
Aside from the use of litmus as
dye, it is used in the laboratory to
detect the presence of acids or aka
lies Any acid turns it red and any
aIkaii restores the blue color.
In tho market litmus is sold as
Iumpy blue powder, but '1itmus
paper" an unglazed paper treated with
.litmus, IL tho method most commonly
used for the detection of acids.
Lichens are peculiar formations In
the plant world. They thrive under
great exposure and are found in high
attitudes and as far north or south
rs any plant can grow.

So the stupid old beast goes charging
around hoping to see the source OF
what he smells and gets a reputation
for savagery besides getting shot.
remember coming up over the top
OF a little rise one day and seeing
across the plain an old rhino stand
ing motionless in the shade Of . soli-
tary acacia about 200 yards away.
The usual tick birds sat on his back.
1t was a typical rhino pose. AS I stood
looking for moro entertainment q
second rhino came mouching along
between me and number one. Num-
Der one evidently heard him. The
birds dew of his back. he prick ed
up his ears and broke into q charge
toward number two. Number two re-
ciprocated. Their direction was good
and they had attained full speed. I
longed for a camera to photograph
tho collision.
But the camera would have done no
good. The collision did not happen.
When about twenty feet from each
other they stopped dead. snorted and
turned around. Number one returned
to doze under his tree and number
two continued the journey which had
been interrupted.
I suppose that rhinos have gotten
the habit Of charging around when
ever they smell anything because un-
til the white man came along they
could investigate in this peculiar
manner with impunity. Everything

TT would perhaps be quite natural
= idea to hold that an ocean cable,
connecting countries thousands OF
miles apart. would be very large In
diameter. Also. IL would seem logical
that the cable should be largest
where the ocean Is deepest. AS mat
ter OF fact. where the sea is deepest.
the cable is smallest, for the reason
that q cable of very large diameter
would be very heavy to raise when
repairs were necessary, and. more-
over, where the water Is very deep.
there is practically no movement on
the bottom and a small cable answers
every purpose.
In shallow water. because 1t is sub
ject to greater strains. being shifted
about more or less, heavier cable
must be used, and a still heavier
cable is found at shore ends These

probabilities. They had decided thai

natives. but that I would have the
enemy or tho enemy would have ma
before they could get to me. 80 they
had continued their dinner The
fatalistic spirit of the country had
prevailed. When I came within their
range Of vision. however. my ap-
pearance was quite sufficient to ar
rest attention. for my clothes were
all ripped, my arm was chewed into
an unpleasant sight. and there was
blood and dirt all over me.
Moreover. my demands for all the
antiseptics In camp gave them some
thing to do. for nothing was keener
in my mind than that the leopard had
been feeding on tho diseased hyena
that I had shot In the morning. To
the practical certainty Of blood
poisoning from any leopard bite not
quickly treated was tho added Ger
tainty that this leopard's mouth was
particularly foul with disease. While
my companions were getting the sur.
gical appliances ready. my boys were
stripping me and dousing me with
cold water. That done, the antiseptic
was pumped into every one of the
innumerable tooth wounds until my
arm was so fun Of the liquid that an
injection In ono drove It out OF an
other. During the process I nearly
regretted that the leopard had not
won. But it was applied SO quickly
and 50 thoroughly that 1t was . COM
plete case.
Later in the evening they brought
the leopard in and laid it beside my
cot. Her right hind foot showed
where the nrst shot had hit her. Tho
only other bullet that struck her was
the last before she charged and that
had creased her just under the skin
on the back OF the neck. from the
shock Of which she had instantly re-
covered.

the conclusion that what . had
saved me was the first shot had flred
when she went into the bush. 1t had

Leopards are not particularly

THE SUN SHINES AGAIN

The financial sun is shining again. The clouds have been dispelled by the indomitable will power and determine tion of the American people, and the outlook is brighter than it has been at any time since the close of the great war.
 A survey of the situation through out the country shows that business in nearly all lines is not only picking up," but is actually assuming the pro portions of q boom.
 Building construction is on the up grade to such an extent that skilled labor is becoming scarce and difficult to obtain. Employment is waiting for every man who possesses any skill at all in the various trades, and the ranks of the unemployed are becom- ing so decimated that it is almost a case of the job hunting the man.
 Wages in numerous cases have been voluntarily raised instead of lowered and this has operated to allay the spirit of unrest that has existed among the laboring classes for years.
 The indications are that farm help will also be scarce this summer owing to the fact that idle men will be com paratively few The farmer, how ever. is preparing to overcome this handicap by taking greater advantage of the latest improvements in farm machinery. whereby one machine will do the work formerly done by several men.
 Altogether the outlook is very bright. It is difficult indeed to ob scure the financial sun in this country for any length of time.
