PENGUINS BUILD NO NESTS
In That Respect, as in Some Others.
Most Remarkable Of All Birds
is Unique.

Emperor penguins, standing erect
and five feet tall, are the largest birds
of this strange group living in Antarc-
tic regions.
Powerful swimmers In water, al
most helpless on land, unable to use
their wings for flight, they have had
very great interest for explorers.
DIR. 5. Il. Jones. who was with Sir
Douglas Mawson, describing great
mass Of the birds covering several
acres Of foe ice, says the sound of
their cries reminded one Of the noise
from n distant sports ground In a
well-contested game.
The emperor makes no nests. The
eggs are incubated while the long
night is still on. when the tempera-
ture may be Is to 20 degrees below
zero. with the wind blowing q gale.
The female must deposit the eggs on
the Ice, In absence Of a nest.
The single egg Is placed above the
feet, between the feet and breast
feathers. In this way the egg is held
from contact with the chilling ice.
This habit has prevailed so long the
birds are accustomed to standing on
heels rather than fiat feet, In striking
contrast to other birds.
Males and females take turn In the
process of incubation. The young are
reared by the mothers, who literally
climb on top Of them. This strange
and seemingly unnecessary habit fire.
quently results in the death Of the
young. Food Is brought from the sea
In the mothers mouth and gullet, and
Is eagerly seized and devoured by the
young.

OF going back to the city, where she

Hazen knew that he had rested. He
knew that his usefulness as peach
expert was over for the season.
But neither one wanted to leave the
hcmelike atmosphere Of the old Craft
orchard.
ITS too bad we can't all stay here"
remarked Tom Craft one night when
they had been discussing the separa-
ton.
In the twilight, Frank Hazen looked
across ut Julie. He saw her sigh. II
gave him hope of a dream coming
true.
"Perhaps-if you and your wife
would slip of to bed early Julie and
might-might find way out of hav-

Juile said great many things that !

a tea house and at breakfast time
there was no talk OF separation but
OF rearrangement of the old house
after the wedding.

"And-witness the blush on it now"
replied Frank, squeezing jules hand

California. Gold 4Ru.b .

Gold was first discovered in the
Transvaal. South Africa, in 1864 and
johannesburg. the principal center of
the gold activities. was founded in
1856. but Il was not until 1890 that
anything like spectacular gold fever
developed. The South African gold
fever Of 1890 equaled to consider
able extent the Australian gold rush Of
1851. The abundance OF the gold taken
from the metamorphic reef, coupled
with the fact that vestiges of ancient
mining existed In the TransvaaI, led to
the well-based opinion that South
Africa was the site OF Ophir, frequent
ly mentioned In the Jewish chronicle
as n source OF gold supply. The loca-
tion OF 0phir never has been deter
mined. Josephus thought It was in
India and Niebuhr believed 1t was In
Arabia.

The Specialist in

to. 1885, By Mcclure Newspaper syndicate
Tom Craft Of the famous Graft
Orchard Farm sat back In his chais
and pulled mt his pipe.
Yes, mother" he said to his wife
who sat opposite him. II have asked
Frank Haxen. my old school friend, ia
come out and spend the summer. He
lis government fruit expert, spe-
.cialist In peaches, and I'd like to know
what ails that new orchard out there.
He has not been so well and the knock
'off and rest will do him good"
Inis was such long speech for
her husband to make all at one time
that Mrs. Craft looked ut him over
the rim Of her glasses to see IL he
were quite right.
"Where'u we put him?" she asked,
after minute.
The old house was small md the
Crafts had invited a niece to use the
front parlor and little adjoining room
ifor tea room for motorists.
Tom pulled at his pipe. "Why
couldn't Julie move upstairs and let
Frank have her back roomY' he asked.
i-well, l wouldn't like to ask her
: to do that after the way she has fixed
IL all up for herself"
"Tut-tut-Julie'd understand. I'll
ask her myself"
And suiting action to words, he
called Julie in from her own little
quarters where she was arranging q

lists on the following day.

simple little domestic country girl with
"A knack Of putting dishes together and
serving them In a homelike fashion
that had won her q reputation among
motorists.
What now. uncle?p she asked.
"Sit down."
Julie sat down reluctantly. She
wanted to finish her plans.
"Your uncle Is going to ask you to
give up your little room to a big hulk
OF man. julie began Mrs. Craft.
Julie looked from one to the other.
"But-of course" she said, lamely.
She was beginning to make expenses
and was more than interested In her
business venture.
"Oh, not the tea room, child," said
Craft, hastily. "No-no-the little
room or"
Julie breathed freely again. "But
I'd give them both up. gladly, uncle.
You and Aunt Jennie have been good
to let me have them as long as you
have"
Mrs. Crafts eyes filled with tears.
Julie was always so unselfish. She
would have hidden her deepest desires
from either of them if she thought an
expression would worry them.
This Mr.. Hazen is an expert In
peaches and one OF the orchards is
worrying me a lot this year. He used
to go to school with me and has
worked in fruit for the government

There is no denying the changes
that come physically with advancing
years. The loss Of stamina Is made
up for by greater understanding of
life. But there is reason to deny the
right of extreme youth to stamp as
"old" any person whose hair Is white
or whose face is lined. And while the
saving of a boy from death in the
water by a man of 70 years Is worthy
of note because of the lessening Of his
physical powers made the deed more
difficult, 1t Is worthy of note also that
a similar loss of strength If 1t came
to youth temporarily through some
disability at the moment, would be
quite apt to deter youth from taking
the risk that this man took without
thought of harm to self. Most older
people envy youth, but youth does
not envy adequately the greater
moral strength and courage that
comes often with the years.
New Britain herald., 1923-07-05
THE POSTNIEN.

The men who deliver our mail viii
begin to have half-holidays this Sat
urday. They will continue through
August, which will mean that there
will be only one Saturday delivery In
the residential districts until the two
hot months of summer are over.
Do we. all of us, approve this half
holiday for the postmen? We do. In
fact 1t may be said further that some
OF us are mighty glad to know that
they are going to have these half
holidays. 1t must be remembered
that the hot months may be no more
trying for the deliverers of mail than
the months of winter when the
storms come; no more distressing
than the months of fall and spring,
when there is wet and slush--no more
distressing, in fact, than almost any
days of the year. But nevertheless
they are trying and they are the days
when all workers should have a
chance to follow their own desires,
free from thought of work.
Many bit of poetry has been writ
ten about the postman who brings to
our door the important letter, produc-
tive of happiness or, perhaps, of sor-
row-but important in any case.
There has been much sentiment dis
played in such bit Of verses which
spring spontaneously from the pens
of the POLITICALLY inclined.
But there is little poetry in the
work of the man who Tugs that heavy
bag about, hearing complaints often
and often taking blame for something
which is no fault of his 1t is merely
ii let these postmen know that the
people do not grudge them their half
holidays, and thus probably to add to
their pleasure in them, that we take
the liberty of thus vocing what we
believe to be the sentiment of the peo-
pie on this matter. Go to it, gentle
men of the mail bags. Have a good
time.
New Britain herald., 1923-07-05
SEVENTY YEARS OLD.

The age of the man who dove into
the water the other day and saved a
boy from drowning is worthy of COM
ment only because of the mistaken
idea youth has that old age is just
beyond youth and reaching for youth
with decrepit fingers. No such thing!
The man who made the rescue was
what is termed seventy years old"
He jumped into the water with his
clothes on and saved a boys life.
Youth would call the rescuer an odd
man" Youth would marvel. But
would the rescuer consider himself an
old man? It is quite probable that
he did not realize at all that his homes
were more brittle, his lungs not quite
as capable OF taking long breaths, his
muscles somewhat less powerful than
they were thirty years ago. He saw
no reason why, being a man, he
should not do a mans job when it
popped up before him. Quite prob
ably he felt the effects of the excite
ment and the plunge more than he
would thirty years ago. But quite
probably, also, his age was the last
thing he thought OF when he saw the
boy in danger.
Look about US on the street and see
the men going daily TO do work that
youth would shrink at doing. Hale,
hearty, their hair gray or white these
men, many Of them, would put youth
TO shame. Which is the more capable
of saving drowning boy-the youth
whose greatest skill is in dancing or
the elderly man who can do a mans
work?
